In its purer parts, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is less a mythical or historical movie, or even a film about war and heroes, than it is an exalted meditation on a single extended theme; love and loyalty in the face of deep grief.

Nolan sounds this sonorous chord repeatedly, on top of carefully-crafted ancient instrumentation, thus reminding his audience, three millennia removed from the Trojan War, that our contemporary society is facing a similar incapacity for upholding Zeus’s law of hospitality to strangers. This happens at the same time, we have also lost our hold on one abiding virtue - the moral need for uncorrupted loyalty.

Alongside so inherent a loss, contemporary society also finds itself greatly diminished in its ability to trust in the direct testimony of the senses, and in the purposeful passions of our feelings of love and respect for those souls, who in each of our lives, have served us, by consistently pointing us in the direction of right behavior.

Sadly, as a modern civilization, we have increasingly lost our hold on both grief and loyalty, irrespective of where or to whom those rites might be directed. Worse yet, is that we have shamefully allowed a similar unraveling to fragment our families… especially across generations. Even more disappointing, is that in the majority of cases, we are barely even cognizant that this is what we have allowed to happen.

And more than that, since at least 2020, we are experiencing an ever-greater share of our lives, from within a weaponized panopticon of media fabrications, where the divides between truth and falsehood, and between good and evil have grown horribly blurred. This is what has allowed even generally moral people, to unknowingly betray their own instincts and integrities.

•••

If the gods are emotionally real, then you can be sure we will be paying for these betrayals, both at individual, and societal levels, by way of an erosion of those very virtues that have traditionally kept us sane, humane, connected, and grateful to life and to each other.

As to how we will pay, there are countless ways, but do not think that we are not already paying dearly for these lapses, even if we cannot see or explain them clearly, because as in Nolan’s version of Odysseus’s extended stay on Calypso‘s Island, we delay the encounter with suffering and truth by gorging ourselves on the lotus flowers of forgetfulness… which allows us to keep denying a reality that is everywhere striking people down, robbing them of their health, shredding their cognition, and disturbing their spirits to such a degree, that an expanding number of us, find ourselves quite viscerally cut off from being able to remember who we are.

•••

The Greek gods of the late Bronze Age, could be kind and generous, and so win our love in that way, but they could also be ruthless and vindictive. The Olympians were uniquely gifted, transparent, and specific in how they served as a revealing mirror in which mankind might see itself reflected.

Although the gods of Homer were notoriously capricious and selfish, they were also immortal, which meant that humans had to watch, worry, and wonder how to put the pieces of their lives together in such a way that they did not further alienate these intimidating embodiments of power that the gods represented.

We have become increasingly cautious in our hyper-surveilled times, and so grow steadily more obsessed with avoiding mistakes, sidestepping blame, and in accepting as our own, perspectives that we know to be consensus-driven drivel.

This helps explain why people have grown terribly uneasy when it comes to discussing subjects, once commonly spoken of by “everyman”… especially when it comes to foundational subjects, such as truth, spirituality, soul, and God.

I believe this follows from our being constantly indoctrinated by the media, education, and cultural values to maintain a religious-like belief in materialism, which tells us that the physical world is all that matters, and that there is no worthwhile mystery, wonder, or alternative existence beyond what is measurable.

This is a perfect travesty of the truth, of course, but people are being constantly persuaded to believe it. So it is, that in the absence of a more meaningful connection to divine intelligence, we revert to believing in the small, the prosaic, and prejudicial.

In this way, do we become easily frightened into behaving like animals fighting over scraps of food. In this way, do we mistake disassociation, acquisition, pride, lust, and justification for sources of true nourishment.

It is we humans, who in this way, have dragged the gods down to our level… and I don’t know how we are supposed to reverse this descent, and so possibly restore ourselves to our former sovereignty, except by lifting ourselves up by the wings of the heart, so that we might, through acts of fearless devotional love, rediscover in ourselves, a renewed loyalty to those ancient and still significant verities.

•••

I am grateful for all those who made this film, and who, working from imposing source material, wove a compelling and original tale about the greater rewards that are born of discipline and steadfast loyalty.

Nolan’s “crew” also proved so cunning in their collaboration, that I doubt too many of us thought much about where the story was taking us… until the film suddenly delivered its emotional punch, which I felt, hit stealthily, and with just the right combination of sentiment and bite.

The film’s arc followed an unambiguous and direct path to the point of catharsis that Greek tragedies historically provided their audience. Catharsis, however, is not possible without deep emotion. I expect that every soulful and passionate person, who has played a significant role in your life, demonstrated this principle. Yes, we are thinking beings, but that is not what ultimately redeems us.

The classical dramatic form presents us with characters upon whom we are then encouraged to project characters (or parts of characters) from our own lives. Through this act of artistic transference, we make ourselves receptive to the same ritual reckonings that the characters in the drama experience. The audience feels this is in the great cathartic release brought on by the longed hoped for victory of the homecoming in Ithaca… and for all three major characters.

The end result of such a process is to remind us that for better or worse, this is the world, in all its pain and glory, and that we are not crazy for feeling big emotions, which are necessary, if our value as humans is to turn into a generational legacy… and maintain its meaning… even across eons.

Dedication and loyalty in the face of death… this is the tragic dimension that we are rapidly losing hold of, and that is what I believe this movie, to some extent, might help to restore to our awareness… a revived sense of those eternal drives within us, that ewe find today in deep need of being reawakened.

I don’t keep up with big box office movies, as I have lost interest in most of the stories they tell, but I saw this one, in no small part because of my upbringing.

I am Greek-American by birth, on both sides, and my late father, a regularly-published novelist and memoirist, routinely referenced the ancient Greeks, both at the dinner table, and in his written work, most of which were rooted in stories of modern Greeks in Chicago. (The actor in the photo with the beard is my father as a teenager playing Oedipus.)

In our house at bedtime, he would often read my brothers and I, stories from the Iliad and the Odyssey, spoken in his warm dramatic voice. The stories he told us were great, but what was greater yet, was the parallel realization that what he was sharing with us, was an essential part of himself. Through these stories, he was able to reaffirm the steadfast loyalty and love that he (and my dear mother) held for us.

As I have aged, and as my parents are now both gone, I feel this same loyalty to their memory, as I have tried to keep it alive in myself.

Great stories are not told, so much as they are rekindled inside of us. None of us are perfect, but we are each imperfect in heroic ways, which if we can meet and overcome the various monsters that live in our imaginations, may ultimately allow us to resurrect within ourselves, a more noble purpose and meaning to our brief time here on earth.

For the rest, that’s in the gods’ hands.

I recently watched a new documentary called “The AI Doc.” The core of the production consisted of interviews with a mega-ton of notable technologists, all of whom were articulate proponents of their opinions, well-versed in technological accelerationism, and personally embedded within the AI industrial-complex.

There were also interviews with several other well-known tech pundits, which was a bit surprising, as I couldn’t initially understand how the filmmakers (who had made a couple of reasonably successful smaller films) had the “pull” to get so many highly connected names to come in for interviews, (though they did shoots in different cities around the country.)

Soon enough, I began to understand why they had all agreed to participate in the film, as it increasingly read to me as a highly-coordinated piece of futurist propaganda, operating under the cover story of a talented graphic artist/husband and his wife getting pregnant, and facing the existential questions that many new parents face today.

The interviewer/husband was also the film’s co-director, and so he also served to make sure that the discussion kept returning to whether or not AI was going to destroy humanity… what were the greatest threats that it posed to our survival… and what steps might be collectively taken to avoid the apocalyptic scenario?

Now, all of the above are commonly asked questions, but as the film unfolded, it became clear that there would be no effort expended to transpose or frame those core questions into any other context, that might allow an intelligent but non-expert public, to see the situation in some other more open and revealing light.

What I came to see was that whether the audience identified as apocalyptic pessimist or apocalyptic optimist, both choices framed this larger survival question in similar terms - as something, that while it was never mentioned as such, still mapped, not surprisingly, to Frederich Hegel’s iconic dialectic… “problem-reaction-solution.”

So, while the two sides of the issue as presented remained distinct and diametrically-opposed, the dialectical framework that both sides posited was presented as the only way to imagine or solve a problem as big as this one - leaving the audience looking at two sides of the same coin, while believing they are opposites.

***

Speaking for myself, I no longer see such a reductionist conclusion as being necessarily true.

What if we were to reframe the question, by asking what other ways might we regard the dilemma that “machine” intelligence poses to humans? Certainly, there are many old philosophical, literary, and mythical traditions that explore these themes, and so, following any of those other lines of thinking might then open up other unexpected areas for us to consider and to pursue.

Additionally, there was no mention of “spirit” in the movie… or of “love” or of “god” for that matter. Perhaps, the implication of something beyond cognition (or computation) was there, but without any specific mention of those more ontological aspects of consciousness… or of their respective ability to affect us in profound ways, we wouldn’t necessarily recognize them as pathways that might lead us towards different or less predictable outcomes.

If you reject that premise, then what you are left with is a purely materialistic and mechanistic perspective, that has been carefully constructed and presented to us since at least the mid-20th Century, as the inescapable (one-size-fits-all) grounds for reasoned “scientific” debate on similarly critical subjects.

I imagine “truth” for most of these AI people serves less as a philosophical pursuit and more as a pragmatic placeholder for that which “works”… is quantifiable, holds great profit potential, advances their purposes and reputations, and is centrally-controlled, while being of only limited use to most of the human population.

***

This distinction between the interests of the controlling global “interests” and the rest of us doesn’t get brought up in the film either, because again everyone featured is so identified with the dialectical view, that they cannot allow themselves to free-associate on what might exist outside of that framework. It is this absence of any broader perspective that I see as the film’s core weakness.

We know it’s very difficult for any of us to see past our authoritarian presets, at least until we can integrate alternative patterns of thought in some different, more metaphysical context.

Unfortunately, none of that happens in the film. I found it disappointing that the good/bad dichotomy always stayed in the forefront, where it was fused with the underlying assumption that AI constitutes a problem that only more of the same type of research and effort might possibly resolve.

Maintaining that belief, requires though that the various inconsistencies and dilemmas that might arise not be understood as “paradoxical” questions, or as something non-dualistic, to which there might exist no obvious solution, or even something which might ask each of us how our beliefs help create our reality.

***

As the film turned toward its end with the couple’s baby being born, it became clear to me that every one of the people interviewed had all fully bought into the similarly materialistic (and largely unfounded) assumption that technology is ultimately something which man alone controls.

But, as Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) repeatedly demonstrated over a century ago in his writings on the coming incarnation of Ahriman, the spirit of technology, in an age of AI, there is much more to consider, especially since the technologies of our time, involve literally simulating human cognition, in advance of it ultimately surpassing us. But what made Steiner’s inquiry so valuable was that it could be equally understood not just as an expression of quantitative power, but as one of qualitative spiritual and soul-shaping truth too.

The filmmakers and many of the people in the doc, would have you to believe that this is just the way things are, and that advances in AI technology will bring with it scary possibilities, that man will then have difficulty controlling, in large part owing to that same recurring assumption that we exist in a purely materialistic and mechanical universe, where technology must always serve as the sole determiner of progress.

Perhaps, in part because of the role that Steiner has come to play in my thinking, I no longer see the world in that simply deterministic way.

That’s not to say I didn’t see it that way earlier in my life. For many decades of my life, beginning in the late 1980’s, l embraced almost all the stories I was told about the promises of new technologies.

But, then, and especially over the course of the last 6 years, and with ChatPT’s public release in the fall of 2022, discussions of AI and Super-Intelligence have assumed a more predatory stance in an escalating “spiritual” war… a war waged by technology for more direct control of human psychology and biology, as well as for the conquest of the human soul.

The “TechBros” don’t like to talk about those particular issues much, but that’s because they gain very little from having an enlightened population as opposed to an indoctrinated one. Clearly, their concern has far more to do with the advancement of their worldview, then with the persistence through time of our vital human bloodline.

This rapidly escalating assault on humanity has been racing at full speed since Covid first dropped, and now, with the war against Iran and the long predicted energy crisis, horrific weather warfare, the pending collapse of our economic systems, an expanding surveillance panopticon, and new rounds of planned lockdowns, we are quickly moving into a collapsing phase where millions of people, besides myself, are coming to understand how “fake” science and “hyper-real” AI are being used to shred the remnants of a once-freer and critical thinking state of being, so that it can more easily be locked into the unipolar spell of a technocratic totalitarian governance, directed from a presumably “Olympian” height.

In the absence of more meaningful metaphysical reflection on the current problems we face as humans, what we are left with instead, is yet another liberal propaganda campaign that encourages us to “work together” (and really hard) to solve the “perma-crisis,” that is, in most cases being created for us by that same largely anonymous cabal of “controligarchs,” who operate from the shadows, and which most people don’t want to even think about, much less openly discuss.

Thus we are left in a more precarious and predictively compromised place than a more reasonable and mutually determined approach might enable us to explore.

The point of the movie, as I see it, was not to articulate the “real” predicaments behind AI, but rather to kick the can farther down the road, and so give the billionaires more time to become trillionaires. By then, the more critical questions posed by the various unknown threats will have likely been resolved… after it is too late for us to undo them.

THE AL DOC is a professionally-produced introductory think piece, to be sure, but it tackles only a few of the many more complex and fundamental issues that AI raises. In addition, it carefully sidesteps appearing antagonistic, adversarial, or confrontational to the current status quo of the rapidly expanding AI industry.

I find that unfortunate… a missed opportunity, that will have to be picked up by others at a later date, when the consequences of inaction become even more threatening… as there is no way to imagine that all the assorted issues around AI will not grow more pressing as we step into the future towards which it has and will continue to push us.

Based on my own experience over the last six years, only rarely do old friends reach out and try to engage with me anymore. It also seems that most of these folks are of the so-called “liberal” persuasion. Could it possibly have been something I said?

Perhaps… though it might also be a sign of the ongoing post-2020 cognitive collapse, or the contortions of identity politics, or yet another symptom of our current sovereignty crisis. Whatever the cause, it remains a small price for being able to stay true to myself, irrespective of what the unfortunate downstream repercussions might be. As far as I am concerned, if we were friends once, then we are still friends.

I’m also not inclined to carry the burden of taking offense at people’s words. That would be a betrayal of free thought’s higher purpose. I also try not to hold fixed opinions about other people‘s belief systems. Your thoughts and beliefs are your own… but at the same time, if they affect the quality of our interactions, then it inevitably becomes harder (and less fun) to maintain the connection, when there’s little to no give-and-take at play.

The other day, I did something I don’t normally do. I chose to listen to a well-known liberal. In this case, it was a recent interview with Rebecca Solnit, moderated by another writer named Anand Giridharadas. I did this in the interest of listening to people whose opinions I had previously dismissed. These two are both very good writers, and Solnit is especially renowned for her diverse body of work, as well as for her “activism.”

But soon enough, an unsettled feeling arose in me, just as it did some years ago during exchanges that occurred, when Solnit and I were social media “friends.” While I accept that much of what she says has merit – even including some of her justifications of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,) they do tend to replay the stereotypical need for us to “come together” in an updated rainbow coalition committed to “correct” forms of social change.

But WHO is to define what is correct? Well, that would eventually be the party most easily offended by what others think.

Many of Solnit’s points are hard to reject outright, and I don’t think we want to do that anyway. I may be “post-political” in my own thinking, but I am definitely not “post-human.” I resist our brainwashed conversion into thinking “machines,” in the same way I resist the insanity of modern war.

The minor dust-up that Solnit and I had years ago, and likely would still have today, is that she and many other “liberals”… in fact, for the sake of argument, let’s say the larger “woke” liberal establishment, in the course of promoting their various “progressive” social agendas, always seem to stop short of addressing the pervasive hierarchical and control frameworks that derive from the dominating and deceptive machinations of BIG money, power, tech, biopharma, and influence… all of which inter-operate now at the global level.

***

The liberal perspective, at least as I see it, (and I am open here to correction) involves a largely uncritical acceptance of our current socio-political “reality” as it is — which gets quickly reframed as an antagonistic struggle between those who “care,” and those who don’t. And that’s generally where it stops, until it further breaks down into polarized name-calling… between liberals & conservatives, or between Democrats & Republicans.

I stopped subscribing to partisan politics on Obama’s first day in office in 2009. (Remember the October 2008 Citigroup Memo containing rigid suggestions for his Cabinet?) Seventeen years later, and I still expect nothing good to come from the staged circus of national politics.

Allowing oneself to feel virtuous in the belief that you care better than others, encourages those besotted with their own ignorance to block out certain realities that don’t match their view of how the world works.

So, for Solnit, from years ago, and for Solnit today, vaccines are a blessing, climate change is real. There is no mention of weather warfare… no reality behind chemtrails or geo-engineering, EMFs, or Mass Surveillance? Government-managed mind-control, and psychological operations? Nope, not their concern.

And as far as AI goes, it’s something else we shouldn’t focus on. Really? As if ANY recent ”technological” revolution that gets deployed at a mass-scale, and all-at-once, is not of utmost concern to every last one of us?

All these ignored issues are then bundled up and assigned to right-wing “conspiracy theorists” to delude themselves with, while the “techno-liberal” masses reinforce the two-party duopoly, and crank up their outrage in order to further aggravate the schisms between left and right factions on every flagrantly concocted issue.

***

While it may be fun to see people out and enjoying themselves at the “No Kings” marches (the latest in a long line of “sanctioned” Democratic Party, George Soros/ Open Society-funded political actions) such emotional outpourings, do nothing to irritate the scaly skin of the central bankers, the dark occultists, or the cabal of billionaires who from behind the curtain, puppeteer the world’s politicians into doing as they are told to do, which is almost always suppressing valid dissent, while they back regulatory and brute-force policies that drive the world into ever tighter alignment with 1992’s “UN Agenda 21” plan, (agreed to by 179 nations) … along with all their affiliated non-governmental organizations, foundations, and big global-level institutions, etc.

And, most of all, this pageant of disintegration provides sustenance to those hundreds of “fallen” angels, who, owing to their centuries-old wealth and blood-soaked family lineages, get to design and impose traumatic humiliation rituals on human society.

But, of course, they simply could not possibly do that without the public’s compliance. And nothing helps push compliance better than heavy doses of identity politics, backed up by 20 years of therapy culture.

So long as the populous is at each other’s throats (or collectively railing against pompous scene-stealing “actors” like Trump,) and so long as they fail to frame their interests in terms of an economic class revolt against the systems that produce these apocalyptic soap operas, and which serve to perpetuate a near endless list of malevolent injustices... then those cross-generational and purely evil forces will stay protected from discovery, and from experiencing any ill effects from these “protests.”

***
What needs to be maintained, according to activists like Solnit, is the traditional liberal ethos that bloomed in the early 20th Century labor movement, and in the post-Depression era, after which it was reignited in the Civil Rights era, then again with Vietnam... and more recently with Occupy. There was much beauty in these impulses, but once subsumed by media propagandists, much frustration and confusion as well.

I’m not minimizing any of the current issues around gender, equality, and equal opportunity, immigration, etc. They are now all established parts of our highly-manipulated zeitgeist.

For myself though, I think that “spiritually-speaking,” such interpersonal matters are best addressed at the individual level, in how we each personally choose to treat others and to regard the world at large.

I can certainly understand how one might derive satisfaction from feeling they are on the correct side of history, and doing the ‘right’ thing. But, wasn’t that exactly what we all suffered through with Covid? And isn’t that what we are STILL suffering through today, in spite of voluminous evidence that meticulously dismantles and destroys the whole absurd pandemic narrative… even while many millions of souls continue to vanish suddenly from God’s good earth.

***
I think the larger task here does not involve picking through the ruins of the fraudulent past, but in doing the work that we each do, right now, that helps both you, and others, to find a “deeper” moral connection within ourselves. Absent such a guiding purpose, what we are left with is little more than fraudulent play-acting.

These recent “No Kings” protests are just the type of “public” actions guaranteed to make participants “feel better about themselves.” But, I don’t think the non-elected powers that have long held hierarchical control over the material world care much or feel at all threatened by such demonstrations… as ultimately, none of these “Epstein-class” Satanists has ever been held accountable. Today’s global “Propaganda Operating System” (POS), steps in preemptively in all such cases, before any broad impact can be felt.

Meanwhile, for most of the protestors, their definition of a worthy “victory” would be as pointless, as the election of some ultra-incompetent puppet like Kamala Harris, who like Biden, will have much less say so in that ceremonial position, than El Trumpo does – not that this distinction matters much, as we can see from the latest madness in the Middle East, that war, like all other predictively-programmed events, will happen, exactly they are supposed to happen, and not a moment before.

The sad fact is that most folks, whether left-leaning or right, (and who are not themselves profiting off the corruption,) have a fairly remedial understanding of how transnational power works and which entities… or who among the various oligarchic committees, orders, or societies, actually calls the shots, and casts the big “spells.”

Genuine truth-telling however, remains something that can get you into deep shit today, and in certain countries now, people are being locked up in jail, or executed… just for speaking truth to power.

As I see it, this is the technocratic/communitarian-controlled world that most liberals have long been reluctant to admit exists, but which, by “virtue” of their compartmentalized lack of curiosity, they are helping to bring into existence.

“The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.”
― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

PART ONE:

In a world as inundated with evil as ours, the immediate question arises as to how best to deal with it? How do we accurately identify it? How do we protect ourself against it? And how do we counter its effects, perhaps making it even slightly more possible for good to overcome the disconnecting forces of evil… if not in the long-term, then at least in the short-term?

There are no easy answers to such questions. Evil is not a problem, to which there is a set solution. It is rather a dilemma, one of life’s persistent challenges, which we must keep managing over the course of our journey. Still, let’s see if I can’t bring a few worthwhile understandings to the question of evil.

1. What is it that evil people do, that “good” people have great difficulty in doing? One thing, easily observed, is that they prey upon weaker people… especially upon young and innocent people, on gullible people, as well as upon those who exhibit a deficit of confidence, or an inability to set proper boundaries for themselves. Sadly, as our experience of the world becomes more mediated and virtualized, so does our ability to experience immediate reality become more degraded.

2. Another question we might ask, is whether or not these more vulnerable people find themselves in such compromised situations owing to their own decisions, or whether they have perhaps been intentionally targeted by aggressive “evil” forces in an effort to seize control of their thoughts, to disturb their emotions, or to drive them closer to cognitive collapse? This is also where intrusive rituals and spell-casting enter into the picture.

3. What else separates the cold-hearted from the kind-hearted, is that what they do - and generally do without hesitancy, is exactly what most decent folk can’t even imagine doing, as the vast majority of people are simply incapable of treating others as things.

4. This brings us round to the critical issues of morality and consciousness, including what is our individual relationship to the deeper more transcendent side of our personal experience?

5. I am not suggesting that good people can’t be easily captured by evil. We know that such transformations happen all the time. Neither is intelligence any guarantee that one will be able to sidestep the impacts of focused conditioning, propaganda, and trauma-based mind control that forcefully subverts our common sense.

•> Click on the links here to three of the more famous psychology experiments of the 20th Century, that proved the above points unequivocally: the Asch Conformity Experiment, the Milgram Obedience Experiment, and the Stanford Prison Project… or remind yourself of the infamous 2004 photos from Abu Ghraib Prison. The disheartening fact is that we are each of us extremely vulnerable to evil’s coercive persuasions.

6. Predators, skilled in the practices of deception, often cast their gaze on those who find themselves in difficult straits. A common tactic is to promise the preyed upon some temporary respite from their problems, by which the targetted soul might find themselves seduced by the appealing assurances offered… and so fall for the deal. It is important to see how evil only ever works to the perpetrator’s benefit.

7. Perhaps later, the trusting soul realizes that the deal did not stop where they assumed it stopped, but continues… because predatory evil consistently uses any form of compliance as justification for the continued devouring of trust and innocence.

•••

In nature, our body does not attack itself. That is nature’s law… and humans, when they are aligned with nature’s law, generally avoid causing harm to others. Evil thus stands as an inversion of natural law. Death is common to all living things. Premeditated murder, however, or torture and ritual sacrifice, is reserved for those who would replace nature’s law with their own.

Nature assists good in this battle, by causing those who are tempted to inflict harm upon another to suffer pangs of guilt, while the evil person, disconnected from conscience, has no qualms about inflicting harm.

Truly evil entities put no limit on the harm that they can cause others. In fact, they often feel doubly justified in continuing to unleash their abuses on such “fools,” who have fallen victim to their transparently cruel threats.

This is why it is often said, that evil people feel no remorse. This follows from their failing to perceive what they are doing as evil. They rather imagine their behavior to be in line with basic principles of fairness and justice… even though such rationalizations mask their true purpose, which is to reinforce their core quest for power over others.

Their destiny as they see it, is to increase their selfish influence, even if that be through horrific ritual practices. Then, once such power is acquired, to use it, mercilessly, to reshape the world as their desire directs them.

This pattern of behavior is the inverse of how most people live, because most people show little interest in aligning themselves with evil, or in controlling others. True predators are few in number, and a good percentage of them were indoctrinated from childhood into that way of regarding the world. Many of them as well, grew up in families, and under dark circumstances, where they were routinely abused and traumatized.

Again, decent people, while they may be easy targets for manipulation and mind-control, have difficulty comprehending the extent to which trauma can serve to seize control of people’s behavior. Trauma, especially when it is complemented by forced indoctrination, undermines one’s ability to respond in their daily life with kindness or compassion.

Those who hold materialistic power in this world are often referred to as a “cult.” This is for good reason; because they act like one. They band together in secret hierarchically-delineated covenants of mutual benefit, to serve various anti-human or “Satanic” aims. In this way, strengthened by numbers, they can exercise exponentially greater influence over the larger society.

Our lives today, and especially since the Covid and Epstein PsyOps, offer us constant examples of how these pacts and the groups that bind to them, operate in the world.

PART TWO:

Years ago, I taught improvisation and movement for theater, where I sometimes used an exercise called “Predator/Prey.” I set up the exercise by going around to each member of the group, and whispering in their ear, “predator” or “prey.” I didn’t say anything more. Then I told them that when I clapped my hands, they would become what I told them they were.

Upon my clap, almost instantly, a good 50% of the prey began to act scared. They allowed themselves to shrink in stature, as they took to fidgeting and quivering. They were quickly drawn towards the corners of the room, even though no one was chasing them. Many of the suddenly “privileged” predators, observing the prey’s telling behavior, chose to step back, and watch the prey ready themselves for capture.

By announcing themselves as easy targets, all the predators had to do was approach them, indicate that they had been identified as prey, at which point, the exposed prey were out of the exercise. I remember feeling disappointed that there wasn’t more “sport” to the exercise.

That said, some of the prey did employ various tactics and strategies, to avoid being recognized, which was interesting to watch. Most of the prey though, couldn’t help but embody their own perception of prey. This moved them to give up hope for survival, as if they had no other option. Thus, it was only a matter of time before they were found out, and taken out of the exercise.

Only one person in the prey group made it through the entire exercise without being identified as prey - Howard, a skilled actor friend. His approach was to hold his ground, to maintain steady attention to everything that was going on around him, to reveal no emotional or telltale signs, and perhaps most importantly, to take no unnecessary actions.

The takeaway of the exercise, for me, offered a prescription for what we each might do, in our own lives, to reduce the chances of our becoming “food” for monsters. Predators today are everywhere, and increasingly armed with advanced “alien-level” digital technologies, and especially since 2020, conspicuously bolder and more unrepentant in their demonstrations of psychopathy.

•••

Through their slow and steady capture, consolidation, and corruption of our political, economic, and social systems, parasitic evil has come to hold an absurdly disproportionate degree of leverage over the affairs of the world, and the fate of humanity.

Such cynically “possessed” people have become so well-situated inside governments, NGO’s, corporations, institutions… and so identified with excessive wealth, influence, and technology, that they are able to essentially procure and control almost anything they want, at least materially. The way that they work together in structured hierarchies, to achieve similarly nefarious ends, further supports their reputation as a “cult.”

This pursuit of material success through such an outright denial of morality, is done so that they can establish themselves in socially dominant positions, where they can more easily align with other ruthless sectors of society that pursue wealth accumulation, media generation, and technological acceleration.

Such entities have no problem with the conversion of original parts humans into transhuman/cyborgs… because that has been their plan all along. It’s just that prior to 2020, they did not have the scalable bio-digital technology to realize their larger ambitions. Covid gave them the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, and to directly modify beneath-the-skin genetics, which when supported by global mandates allowed their uniquely evil mRNA technology, to determine who among the masses lives and who dies, under cover of “plausible deniablity.”

Now that they have acquired that ungodly capacity, it becomes ever harder to imagine there being any slowdown or reverse in their lethal research programs… or in the various communitarian “death” agendas used to justify them

•••

While all this is going on at an increasingly frantic pace, the masses must continue to live by their wits. As they struggle to survive, they also find themselves unexpectedly presented with unplanned opportunities to grow deeper in “spirit.” This is the type of “inner work” that evil people don’t easily understand, as they resist and reject the notion that we are each here to individually evolve our spirits, to be stronger, more invincible, and more beautiful, if you will… and while doing that, not to harm anyone… least of all the innocent or the weak, the young or the old, but rather to protect them… to defend the children, to give aid to the elderly and weak … and by so doing, to defend them, and to say to those rapacious forces, “No, you will NOT do that. You will not take this child. You will not harm to this elder.”

It is just this kind of unshakeable moral conviction that is largely incomprehensible to those who have given themselves over to twisted narcissistic forces, which quite effectively strips them clean of moral restraints.

Absent a caring heart, those who hunger for power, become unable to comprehend the possible rewards that valor of spirit provides to even the lowliest of men. Instead, they have replaced that more “angelic” impulse, with a perverted sense of what they must do to further their evil inheritance, no matter how hard the task, or how long it might take. Evil is not lazy, and no one should make that misattribution. It is rather hyper-vigilant in its pursuit of its own lightless ends.

•••

Looking forward, I would suggest we try to use our current chaotic moment (as I write this, matter of weeks after U.S. and Israeli military commenced attacks on Iran) as impetus to evolve into truer, more mature, and more loving versions of ourselves. These are not “soft” impulses, mind you, because it takes no small measure of confidence and courage to forge yourself into a force for good, especially when everywhere around you, evil is revealing itself in senseless orgies of power-hungry cruelty. But it is this impulse to love, in the face of all opposition, that provides us our best long-term inner defense against evil’s many manifestations.

Looked at on the surface, it may appear that evil holds dominion over the Earth, but all it genuinely holds is dominion over fear. When we free themselves from fear, we also free ourselves from evil. The gift of consciousness also brings with it, a close alignment with morality and truth, so that we might be guided into making ourselves available for supernatural intervention. Those who have locked themselves away from sources of divine understanding, may never come to see that forgiveness and transfiguration were always possible - even for them.

This is the barrier to entry that prevents those ordained by evil, from reaching out and touching others in any sort of meaningful way, as their efforts must alternately be put towards turning them away from nature’s law. This is what causes members of the cult to invariably choose deception, denial, and destruction… and every other form of perverse behavior… which further insulates them from their own intuitive sense of humor and compassion.

(Having been around a few "mob" guys a few times in my past, I think if you found yourself in a room with several of these types of beings, you would feel the chill right away.)

Righteousness, on the other hand, is authentically strong in and of itself. Once awakened, it burns brightly within us. This is why we should never underestimate it, or be confused by it. Instead, we want to try and embrace it, share it, and allow it to expand to its fullest possible influence. This is how human beings, through their connection to soul, are able to ultimately grow more transcendent to the material world… by way of their living in the heart, and generously serving their fellow man.

This doesn’t mean we will not suffer the full range of life’s catastrophes, but it also means, that in the face of all setbacks, we need not lose the ability to keep realigning ourselves with something greater than the corruptible flesh, with something more altruistic than greed, with something more eloquent than dark incantations.

(I understand too that this is not the type of work that most young people or those with growing families to support, will have much time for, but eventually, if you get lucky, and if you live long enough, you may come to welcome this type of fundamental alteration in your thinking and being.)

Give yourself time to allow that spirit seed to germinate within you, in hopes that a fuller expression of that “higher” love begins to inhabit and nourish you, as it brings you closer to that which is sublime in life. We are drawn to do this, because something in us knows that only such a love, has the power to defiantly stand up to evil’s efforts to negate all things natural and innocent.

(This is part of the blessing that parenthood brings… the recognition of your own insignificance, as you learn to surrender yourself to the nurturing of little ones.)

Evil continually distorts itself to avoid connecting with spirit, with God, or with nature, as well as with instinctive inner sources of love and joy. Our spiritual arsenal also includes an intuitive capacity to call upon humility and grace, to steady us when we wobble. Who knows what is possible, until we are able to fully say “Yes” to life? As I see it, that is the only way that mankind’s imprisoned light finds its way out of darkness.

Each of our lives is but a story unfolding. The task before us, as still functioning humans, faced with the looming threat of extinction (or worse yet, our conversion into cold alien machines) is to keep our souls ablaze and fully alive, so that we can be pulled up and out of this mortal chrysalis, and into the upper air where natural growth and transfomation is exalted… and where angelic majesty becomes not only visible, but part of our collective destiny.

We often make the mistake of thinking that other people are here to make us happy. In fact, nobody’s here to make us happy.

You want to be happy, then you must make yourself happy. And if you can do that, then you’ll be happy.

Maybe you want people to love you. That’s a tall order too, because nobody’s here to love you either. If you want people to love you, then practice loving people. In this way, you show by example what love feels like… and trust me, people will get the message.

Similarly, if you want to have more fun, then let laughter be your teacher, because your body knows what’s funny, before you do… so if you can learn to look at life in that funny kind of way, then you’ll see, it’s regularly hilarious… and so are you.

The thing is, you can’t be attached to outcomes. Because you don’t know what you’re doing, and so you don’t know how to get to where you’re going, except by surrendering to what’s right in front of you, and then by working with that until it turns into something else. And then, if you do that consistently, you grow more used to it, until you realize that that’s the whole game… just to be in the now and then to move forward into the future, whatever that might be, and irrespective of where that might lead you.

Also, nobody’s here to work through your stuff either. Everybody’s here to work through their own stuff, and on that score, you do the best you can, and you go through all the countless mistakes you make, and all the crap that you put on other people, and then one day, maybe you come to see it’s just you and God here, and it’s only that glorious being/force of nature, that you’ve got to work it out with… and no one else.

•••

We all get lucky more or less to some degree. Some of us have a hard road. Some of us have a super hard road. Some of us have it easier. I don’t know why that is. I just know it’s tough for many people, and then circumstances intervene and make it even harder, oftentimes for no rhyme or reason we can point to. Just because.

Don’t make the mistake of trying to make it easier for yourself. You’re trying to make it more real. You’re trying to make yourself more present. You’re trying to make it all happen with more unplanned and unpredictable force and energy.

You want something to be different, then go make it so, and to the degree that you do that, you’ll be freer of attachment, at which point maybe you realize that you’re just making this beautiful thing up as best you can, for as long as you can, until you can’t any longer, and then that’s it… and then something else takes the place of this life, but you’ll have to wait until you get there, to know what that is.

What we do know is that life happens quickly, so you would be well-advised to always pay very close attention.

Sure, there are shortcuts and people take them all the time, but you know what? You don’t want to take shortcuts. You want to plow right through the center of this life. You want to barrel right down the middle of the road, irrespective of how much it hurts.

Along the way, keep acquiring more detailed memories. Hold them close to your heart, because your story is contained in them, and if you lose them, or if they lose you, then in that way, you become a stranger, even to that most precious part of yourself.

I’ve seen it happen to the best of them. They just forget themselves, and then they forget where they’ve been, and what they’ve done, and who they knew and how it felt. And that is enough to turn any farcical light-hearted comedy, into a ponderous burdensome tragedy. Don’t let it happen to you.

•••

Bottom line, you want to experience it all. You don’t want to settle for the “lite” version of anything. You want to live your life as if it’s a great and unique work of art, even if it’s just a series of doodles and paint blobs, done to the soundtrack of babies’ laughter.

Remember, it’s not the output that matters; it’s the input … and that’s you, your awareness, your consciousness, you are God’s little mirror - that tiny drop of water that contains the infinite ocean.

And of course, you want to love as best you can. You want to forgive as much as possible, and you want to let go and not worry about healing anybody, least of all yourself.

“Fixing yourself” is really hard work, because it assumes that you are broken, which in most cases is just not true. What we often are ,is distracted and confused.. so if you just reimagine yourself in stronger, more invincible ways, and don’t give up, but rather keep on going, you’ll see that things work out. God wants you to be noble, and your angel wants you to be moral and fearless. That can take a while… so be patient.

If you hang in there long enough though, you’ll come to see that the sweetest place for you to spend your time is in silence or in nature… in meditation or prayer, because these practices help create within you a strong but unprotected and receptive space, where you can come to see how very little you know… and that’s why you pray, so that you can ask for help. That’s a useful thing to do, because in that way, God and all the merry angels can do something for you, which they wouldn’t be able to do, unless you asked for it. So don’t be an idjit… ASK for it!

And that’s pretty much all I know, so I’ll just share it with you here, and you can make of it what you will… because what else you gonna do with it? … Ha!

Love, and blessings…

“It doesn’t matter if justice is on your side. You have to depict your position as just.”
- Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel

I. When it comes to the subject of propaganda, and the across-the-board construction and revision of history to support the interests of those who hold actual global-level economic power, my own conversion goes back to 2009, when the changeling, Barack Obama, first took office as U.S. president, fulfilling his curiously meteoric ascent from anonymity to global superstar.

Prior to winning the election… (an event, which I will admit had touched me) a “leaked” email, dated October 6, 2008, was sent to John Podesta, co-chair of Obama’s transition team. The memo came from Citibank Managing Director, Michael Froman, and in it were included lists of recommended candidates for dozens of cabinet-level… and other senior positions. When it ultimately came time for Obama to announce his cabinet, lo and behold, his choices matched up almost entirely with people named in that October memo.

At the same time, as you may recall, Obama reappointed Timothy Geithner, Larry Summers, and Bob Rubin to oversee the economy’s “recovery” post the 2008 financial collapse, which those very same three “horsemen” had contributed to on their watch.

Once the deeper and more interconnected nature of those developments became clear to me, my view of Obama as an agent of change, morphed into one of just another carefully branded product of the larger undivided system that produced him. But the bigger problem was not with Obama, but rather with the entire political and electoral system, that since the JFK assassination, has never stopped perpetuating the same matching set of untruths… over and over again.

At that point, it was pretty much GAME OVER for me… for politics and for TV news that manages the Babel-like tower of all political and social narratives. I may have kept a TV around for a few more years, but before the end of Obama’s first term, I’d had enough. I have neither watched TV nor TV news since then.

II. Recently, I did watch a very pointed 2025 documentary, entitled, The Occupation of the American Mind. Its subject is the out-sized influence that Israel (and its many political lobbying and operative groups) have over American politics and media. To say that this influence is both powerful and pervasive is a sarcastic understatement. The truth is that Zionists, supported by their connections to global economics, do more than just “influence” politics and media in this country. As representatives of higher, more anonymous forces, they both determine and direct it.

If watching “polarizing” TV news as presented by any of the six major news/media corporations, or even if the growing hubbub around the so-called “alternative” media (Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Joe Rogan, etc.) has raised concerns for you, then I guarantee you, that this documentary, will go far to giving detailed shape to your concerns. Its subject extends far beyond the current and ongoing Israeli/ Palestinian “conflict” to provide abundant evidence that ANY significant “news” event, that threatens the Zionist-Imperialist “status quo,” will fail to be covered… or if it is covered, then in such a way that will obfuscate any possibility of its truth being exposed, by way of aggressively defending the very trans-generational “global mafia,” that, for hundreds of years, have stood as the “invisible culprits” beyond much of history’s most heinous crimes.

III. All of the above typifies just how propaganda works. The proven effectiveness of “captured” media, explains why it receives unlimited (and undisclosed) funding. This is why the very reality of its existence is rarely brougght up in the media, especially among the dominant “blue-chip” media brands, that stand as confirmation of propaganda’s ubiquitous presence. This is also why propaganda is allowed to keep repeating its messaging ad nauseum, absent any popular counterpoint… until the passive and compliant masses grow confused and exhausted, give up, and normalize/internalize its perpetual messaging. The most common defense people express is that, “I’m not swayed by propaganda. I think for myself and I make my own decisions.”

If that’s your position, but at the same time you’re still sitting there like a brick in front of your TV, and other mainstream sources… and not actively questioning or researching events and narratives for yourself, then you might want to ask if perhaps some major part of that slim grip you might have once held on your critical faculties, has gone MIA? If you then assume that what is being pushed at you by your television is to any significant degree “true,” then you might rightly expect to find yourself believing whatever else the media tells you to believe… which not surprisingly, is exactly what the entire multi-trillion dollar global power structure, supported by its appointed legion of international corporate, political, and entertainment “stakeholder” puppets are there to do – to make you believe the unbelievable, to guide you towards accepting those absurdities, that the French philosopher, Voltaire, told us 260 years ago, would inevitably lead to our acceptance of atrocities.

IV. What can any of us do to put an end to this insidious brainwashing? First, STOP participating! Stop giving it your attention. Stop giving your consent. Stop saying yes, to this assault on your mind, and take note when the media tries to cast you as discontents, agitators, terrorists, or conspiracy theorists, who are then expected to bear the blame for those same horrific crimes that are being perpetrated against them.

If you still think that Isis, Al-Qaeda, and Hamas could exist without the sustaining support of Israeli-orchestrated media… If you think that the threat of climate change is sufficient justification for the UN’s Agenda 21 (Great Reset) initiative to categorize and commercialize every living plant, foodstuff, animal, and human on Earth… or if you believe that all the other flimsy attempts to centralize control of the world’s resources in that small handful of partnering individuals and organization… then you make yourself too available for the “Propaganda Operating System’s” (POS) next campaign of mind-control.

V. If we are to learn anything in this new year that is different from the past, let it be that the buck stops with you. You are the one… you are the spirit at the center of the potentially life-rebalancing shift from confusion to clarity, hatred to love, ideology to experience, and fearfulness to courage.

Time is of the essence, as the world, under increasingly consolidated transnational (and technocratic) governance, is moving very quickly to draw the vast majority of us deeper into conditions of surveillance and control, that will cause unprecedented and irreversible harm — and not just to the more impoverished and dispossessed peoples among us, but to every “comfortable” American, as well, and to all those who exist without the special protective cloak of occult invisibility.

We are all now in the crosshairs of a transhumanist-directed plan to digitally ID and track each and every one of us, via a spiritual-level war to decommission the human soul, wherever it might still be found. As much as we might wish otherwise, no one is coming to rescue us… except those that we ourselves connect with and support within our own local communities. The media will never stop minting and mythologizing “heroes” to make us forget that the only true heroes are those who walk among us, and by the strength of their courage, help hold their families and communities together.

The soul of America, and the world, is under so much unbearable pressure right now, that it’s difficult to find signs to indicate that we will be able to rise to the challenge of staying human in an increasingly AI and machine-obsessed technocratic age.

But even those long odds of success are not sufficient reason to give up hope, because we know that the greatest victories come when they are least expected. It is in the face of this absence of easy reassurances, that brave souls have always stood up to answer the call, simply because it is the right thing to do… especially in a world that has largely forgotten the ancient and unchanging principles of truth and justice.

Reawaken those noble thoughts in your own soul, and you’ll see the world change, in direct relationship to the force of your courage. All other more comforting alternatives are swiftly vanishing, save for our participation in this last-stand defense of the divinely human.

It’s 1 o’clock in the afternoon on Thursday, November 6, 2025, as I’m driving west of Salt Lake City. My tank is below a quarter full, but for some reason, I’m not paying close attention to where I am, as I mistakenly think I’m entering Nevada, when in fact, I’m still in Utah crossing the Great Salt Flats. (GPS may have weaned us off maps, but they didn’t replace them.)

Let me tell you it’s a lot of space between things there, and a lot of space between gas stations, so I see one Sinclair gas station, but I’m still thinking I’m in Nevada, with that straight run of casinos, motels, and gas stations coming up.

I thought things were OK, but they weren’t. I kept driving and driving. I finally saw a sign for a town called Knolls, but when I got to the exit, there were no services, and none of the other next several exits had services either.

So, now it’s getting down to it, and my fuel gauge is on empty. I keep on going and it gets below empty, and I’m thinking what the fuck am I gonna do? 

So, I tried to calling the Nevada State Police, but I couldn’t get through… so, then I called 911 and that gets through, I assume because they have their own dedicated satellite connection.

I’ll tell you what happened next, but before I do, I have to tell you that I was moved in my situation to call upon the Lord for help … as in… “LORD, CAN YOU HELP ME?” … That’s exactly what I said, and I said it (or sang it) at least 20 times… in my best Roy Orbison-infused gospel chest voice. 

“Lord, can you help me? 

So, I get through to 911, and I’m embarrassed, as I’m calling 911 because I’m running out of gas and in the larger scheme of things that’s something that nobody should be calling 911 about, but the operator didn’t make me feel like a fool. She rather listened closely, and asked me really good questions. 

I used the range finder on my dashboard, which showed that I had 10 miles left to rock bottom empty, but then the dispatcher lady told me it was 40 miles to the next town, but then she informed me that there was in fact, a gas station at Exit 4. Now, at that point, I’m at Mile 9 to the Utah border, and my rangefinder says that I have 7 miles left before I go dry.

So, I’m driving, knowing that there’s nobody’s out here, and getting reception isn’t happening… and so if I run out of gas on the side of this road, I could be there a long time, but the good lady guided me to Exit 4, and though I’m not sure I have the range in the tank to get there, I kept on going.

Then I passed a rest area, because they have a lot of rest areas, I assume because the distance between them is so long, and people gotta take a leak. So, I pull into the rest area, and next to this truck, because it’s one of those guy trucks, and I said to the fella getting out, that he looked like the kind of guy that might have a can of gas. 

He said that he didn’t, but he leaned in through the window, and I explained my situation, after which he said, “Look, I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I gotta walk my dog, but you go on down the road. See if you can get to the gas, and if you can’t, I’ll find you and we’ll go get a can of gas and bring it back.”

I couldn’t ask for more than that. I ask him his name. He said Robbie, I said Mark, and he said, “I promise I’ll do that.” I shook his hand, and as I was driving off, I said “I love you.” 

So, I kept on driving and my range was down to 2 miles as the sign for Exit 4 came up, also marked the “Bonneville Salt Flats.” I pulled off, turned into the Sinclair station, pulled up to the tank, and I filled it up. Once done, I was overcome by a great sigh of relief.

I got back on the road, without even any time lost now. At that point, I’m in Nevada, and I’m thinking about all those “Lord, can you help me’s” And I thought to myself the Lord had indeed helped me. He had sent me two angels. The first angel was the lady on the 911 call... so kind, so capable, so clear. Just keep driving. The second angel assured me, that I was on the right path, and that if anything happened to me, he would be there to back me up. So generous, confident, and ready.

In the midst of that realization, I got all choked up and teary-eyed, thinking just how lucky I was that I hadn’t filled up earlier, because if I had, I would not have had so wonderful and life-changing an experience. 

We know nothing of what is real, and who or what God is. All we know is that doing something for others awakens the possibility that the mystery of it all might work through you.

Take that with you into your life. Be one of those angels, who does that for someone, because if you do, it’ll feel good. The Lord will be working through you, and nothing feels quite as right as that, because you know, that’s how the world was always supposed to work. 

OK, pilgrims, thanks for listening.

I grew up on the South Side of Chicago in a tightly-knit Greek-American family and community. All my early babysitters were cousins. I didn’t break out into the larger “American” world, until I went to public school. That first day of kindergarten was fairly traumatic, but by the next day, I had begun to adapt to that foreign world.

My growing up was mostly filled with warm and happy memories, but through it all, I remember how my family was always there for me, as we were there for each other… my parents and siblings, but my extended family too, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins… old people, young parents, teens, and little kids. There never seemed to be less than enough love to go around.

•••

I moved out to San Francisco in the mid-70s, when I was in my mid-20’s, and my youngest brother came out some years later. San Francisco in those years was quite the place, a perfect environment for doing fantastic things, which I never stopped doing… or wanting to do… even to this day.

I didn’t really miss my Greek background that much then, as I was preoccupied with the pursuit of adventures… and my ethnicity wasn’t really all that relevant a factor in my life… but so long as my parents were alive, (they both lived into their late 90’s) we would gather in the summer at their place on Lake Michigan, and I would once again see all those cousins, aunts, and uncles, and there was always a sense of coming home, of coming back to my mother's kitchen and to my father’s lively dinner table… of coming back to people who genuinely cared about you, irrespective of who you might have become in the interim, or how you might have changed. You left all that at the door.

It was just a family thing.

•••

I have known and loved many wonderful people in my life, amazing people, who had a huge influence on me, and who showered blessings on me, in countless ways.

I’ve been fortunate as well to have loved a rather Olympian line of amazing women, who cared for me, as I tried to care for them… most attentively. With the one who felt most special and like family, we welcomed a beautiful and magical daughter, who in 2015, gave birth to her own gifted and graceful daughter.

So it is, as children happily arrive, the old sadly depart. When I look at the old B&W photo above from 1957, the only two people still alive are myself in the lower left, and my younger brother, John, to my left.

•••

In a world where relocation, even across the country is common, we must keep learning to create our own local “families" wherever we go — and often from scratch. As such, we are most often not present at the beginning, or at the end of those other people’s lives. This means we’re primarily there for each other through the good times, the work times, the play times, or the building trust times.

There’s nothing wrong with any of that, but families are notable in that they are also there for grief times, for illness times, for death times, and for the taking care of each other through difficult times.

If you’re separated from family, but are lucky enough to have someone in your life, whom you can care for in that way, then you should count yourself a fortunate soul. And if you are doubly lucky, there will be someone in your own life, that you can do the same for you as well.

Traditional families have this secret power of making the managing of difficulties more than just possible. In a way, it is what makes or breaks a family's ability to ensure the future, by their gentle insistence upon doing what needs to be done, and doing it… simply, without being asked, without complaint, or with any expectation of getting something in return. In this way, family is the last refuge of selflessness. If not there, then where,

This same level of attention, can also be found a family's “famous” repertoire of stories and traditions, that they invoke when they gather for holidays, to welcome the birth of children, or to provide care during times of illness, and when standing vigil at the passing of their elders… as they prepare to ascend to the realm of the ancestors.

•••

For myself, I remain so very grateful for the role of family in my life, but I think that as a society, we’re sadly losing that sense of family in the world today... and I really don’t know where else we might look. for something strong enough to take its place.

But it’s not just family that we have become distanced from. It’s also a loss of connection with life’s critical "passages"… with births, deaths, trials, and sorrows — that historically, no social construct has ever supported more consistently than the independent family — especially so when mothers and fathers stay together for the long haul, as so many did in that older pre-digital world.

Neither am I sure how others, not connected by blood, can rise to so difficult a challenge with consistency. It’s almost like friends, when called upon to do the work of family, are happy to be of help, but it still feels a bit performative, and so bound by time, that makes it something of a self-limiting prophecy.

Not that they don’t to do it; it’s just that they are not fully equipped for such work. It takes the combined influence of multiple generations of being part of a family to mature into something more than an “apprentice” to such a love.

Not that people aren’t incredible and don't regularly step forward to do this sort of caring work — and to do it brilliantly well. I have witnessed this many times, and each time, I was touched and humbled by the abundant gifts that true friendship bestows.

Of course, we mourn the loss of all those we love, whether family or not, but at one time, the way that we fulfilled our grief — because we remember how as members of a family, sorrow was made easier to share, and more readily understandable.

I fear today, especially in light of the fearful disturbances that arise from the post-2020 tightening merger of man and machine, so selfless a dedication to family and friends has become, perhaps through no one’s direct fault… more and more rare.

Hopefully, it’s not that rare in your world. Even still, it might be wise to see what you can do, to help others in their own times of struggle. There is a special reward to be found in supporting that type of soulful connection.

•••

This is all another way of saying that when they leave us, we will be left with this heart puzzle, where all the pieces don’t quite fit where they once so effortlessly did.

Now, of course, people are brilliant, and will invariably make the best of any situation, but it’s not the same as knowing you were no accident, and always belonged right where you are.

Hold onto those you love, my friends, and those who love you. It is one of life’s most precious gofts to keep people close to your heart.

None of us are here for very long, and no one knows when the last time will be. What we do know is that when they’re gone, they’re gone. And that goes for you too.

Make the most of it, and do it with as much love, and inspiration as you can possibly imagine.

Blessings on all souls.

Our legacy and responsibility as blood and bone humans is to remain vigilant in keeping our eyes and ears open, and our minds awake… so that we might come in time to pay closer attention to all that happens in and around us, and not inadvertently put an end to this little life, rounded with a sleep.

Not to do that would be to watch a play or a movie, as if you were a dog, unable to make sense of the dialogue, the actions taken on the stage, or the various events that arise inside the minds of the characters… who are there, after all, to shape and serve the central purpose of the particular play that we are gathered to watch.

Through the actions of plays, we are introduced to actors, playing characters —some of whom speak and behave honestly, while others do so deceptively, which means that what they tell us may in fact not be true – even though the character might quite convincingly try to persuade you that it is.

Such purposefully misleading behaviors are a key reason why we so enjoy the twists and turns of well-crafted plays and comedies, especially when we watch the characters leverage their dishonesty to pursue personal advantage, that elevates their own “status,” at the cost of undermining someone else’s.

This dynamic tension that arises between honest and dishonest characters, as they go about trying to put one over on others, is a big part of what makes theater so engaging, unpredictable, and often delightful. Stories allow us to engage vicariously in situations that we might not otherwise want to give ourselves to in real life, for yhe numerous discomforts they might bring,

But feelings and fears aside, close observation remains a primary task in our life… to stay attentive, and to follow the action and the narrative, wherever it might take us, even when we are left confused or upset by the experience – in fact, ESPECIALLY when we are left confused or upset.

Neither the play, nor the reality upon which it is baseed, stops when we hit an impasse, or when we temporarily lose the "plot.” The forward momentum of life requires that we hang in there, and keep paying attention, until we can eventually regain the gist of what’s going on, or until we run out of gas, and stall out,

Much what makes a good play good, is that it knows how far it can push us before we bend or break. This steady nudging is critical to our arriving at the acquisition of some unexpected perspective. If we were to insist on repeatedly playing it safe, we would slow out learning, which would put us at a disadvantge. We might never see things in a different way – and isn't that a major function of art… to allow us to apply our inner life to something outside of us, and so enrich our experience of life?

When the play’s plot-lines grow overly complicated, just as our daily lives often do, in the course of navigating the many chaotic (and sometimes psychotic) aspects of the world — this can be problematic too, just as it is for the general citizenry, when they lose trust in the story they are being told. Of course, in the theater, you are free to walk out. That is not so easy to do in life.

In the theater (but also in any form of creative storytelling) authors are sometimes given to create a unique set (or pantheon) of characters, who are endowed with a special more “impersonal” and “god-like” point-of-view – one that is different than that which is at expressed by other characters in the play. These more “novel” characters inhabit a “moral” dimension tangential to the primary storyline, from which they can provide “meta” commentary on the actions of the characters in the play.

This is the role that the Greek Gods played in the tales of Homer, or in the plays of the great classical Dionysian playwrights. Meta-commentary is also what most of us spend a lot of our life doing… in our heads, and in our introspective efforts to figure out what’s going on out there.

To execute this sort of “conceit” effectively though, requires a level of sophistication that not every audience possesses, and not every playwright can successfully create. But this is why we are trained from early childhood to build an appreciation for stories, so that our powers of self-analysis might better mature and grow more adept over time, as we hopefully get sharper at following along, and filling in the blanks as to what’s happening before us, “on the stage” – the teachings t which we then integrate back into our life.

If we do not grow in our appreciation of the “fundamental” aspects of storytelling, then we will likely prove ourselves to be a poor audience — one that gets too easily distracted, and too quickly given to looking for an easy way out, that will relieve us of having to think too hard.

Of course, theater can be downright “bad” sometimes, and so planning for a hasty exit can be a useful option… but theater-attendance aside, when it comes to your own life, you have little choice but to throw all you have at it, and not to allow yourself to give up – or to relinquish awareness… because life, and inevitably death, is for each of us, an important high-stakes game, which rewards us even as it buffets us with loss and sorrow… which might become too dense to make sense of… or worse yet, when we fall into thinking that we would be better off simply accepting one of the many bogus and pre-packaged narratives that get “sold” to us, non-stop… by the wealthy dominant cultural powers who exercise dramaturgical “control” over the matrix of social and media narratives, in which a dazed public is inescapably ensnared.

COVID-1984 was a good example of such a counterfeit story – one that billions of people mistakenly bought as real and made their own.

If theater teaches us anything, it is that we are each independent single point-of-view “witnesses” to the action on stage, and as soon as we lose responsibility for our own perceptions and reactions, we become vulnerable in ways that can easily put us (and our loved ones) at mortal risk — just as it did with Covid.

There are of course, elements of “mind-control” in all our entertainment mediums, but if the experience we seek is going to stand as art, and not just propaganda, then it must be generated with conscious skill. Covid was dropped on us crudely, and laced with genocidal cruelty, that should have had us throwing rotten tomatoes at the stage, before pouring en masse out of the theater. Although many did just that, their overall numbers were far too few to firmly expose the cover story as false, or to sound the alarm on the most immense PsyOp of all time.

Perhaps, if we had paid closer attention to the lessons of Shakespeare, Sophocles, or Beckett, we might have been able to more quickly to recognize false and malicious instructions when they are pushed at us – which of course, they certainly were.

Remember too, one of the primary “spiritual” purposes of art is the reinforcing of our sovereignty, our dignity, and that “meta-cognitive” introspection we share with the gods. This prevents us from betraying ourselves by failing to defend all that we know is valuable in life, such as the transcendent nature of love, and the discernment of truth. To forsake those higher etheric values is to begin to lose our hold on what makes us human.

And yet, far too many people seem only too ready to surrender possession of themselves, by making the mistake of doing whatever those “artless” and “porno-political” propaganda talking heads tell them to do. Again, life has always asked more of us than falling in line with the directives of evil and corrupted actors, who have repeatedly shown themselves incapable of purveying either truth or wisdom.

This is why each of us must continue to listen closely to the WORDS that are being spoken, so that we can determine for ourselves, which characters (as well as which “meanings” and “subtexts”) speak truth to us, and which are just villainously and hopelessly false.

To keep our awareness strong, we must follow the rhythmic actions of the play, and keep our attention on those stories, that allow us to expand the range of our perspectives, relative to the whole greater opus of human stories… because ultimately, your own unique and individual experience is the ONLY POV that matters… because both art and life ask that we go on and offstage many times in the course of a day, and the trick to a more graceful life is to pay vigilent attention to those stories that help bring us back to ourselves.

And if we fail to construct the world, in a way that makes ongoing sense to us, then we will be left befuddled, and in a state where clarity remains elusive. That said, clarity is never bestowed automatically. Clarity through the fuller exeercise of intelligence follows from regular practice, just as your spiritual evolution is. And so, if you make yourself capable of such “acrobatic” turns, then you just may one day find yourself blessed with a more beautiful vision that offers you a soulful sanctuary for the good, the true, and the beautiful. And so I might wish it to be so for all of us.

In the meantime, we must try to be the best and most attentive audience we can be - so that if the time you come when you hear the call, you will be ready to spring out of your seat and step onto the stage as the chief protagonist (and improvisor) in the creation of your own humble masterpiece – feeling suddenly ready for anything.

There really is no better fate waiting for you that is any truer or more rewarding than that, being a beacon of light signaling through the flames of the here and now.

In the wake of the recent horrific floods in Texas along the Guadalupe River, we learned that there were 18 summer camps operational along that river. It was also a popular 4^th of July holiday destination for locals. People went to sleep with a forecast of moderate rain, and then, if they were lucky, got woken up by shouts or by the noise of raging waters. They don’t yet know how many adults and children are dead or gone missing, but we can assume quite a few.

There are six dams along the Guadalupe River. If someone can explain to me how water rises 25 feet in less than an hour, without even a weather warning of an approaching storm front, I would appreciate it. (Recall the silence of the emergency sirens in Lahaina, in spite of the supposed top-quality of their warning systems.) To my mind, the scale and speed of the flood (and those two days later in New Mexico) only make clear sense, if traced back to the reservoirs, under the “supposed” control of the responsible public water authorities.

What has long been apparent in these extreme weather events, are commonly repeated patterns, where a powerful and patented set of weather modification technologies, serve to unleash remarkably similar waves of destruction in a very short period of time. We are constantly told that this is solely Mother Nature’s doing, made super-naturally more horrific by anthropocentric “Climate Change.”

I do not see it that way, and I never have. What I see, along with many others, is an unnatural and very top-down military mobilization of powerful and highly-developed weather amplifying technologies that inflict the greatest possible harm on the greatest number of people in the shortest amount of time.

Who then, the tenaciously naive might well ask, stands behind and pulls the strings on such vast and ambitious plans? To that question, I would lay the responsibility at the feet of those same immoral oligarchs, who have all the days of our lives, held dominating influence over the course of human events, as well as the responsiblity for packaging those events for media consumption. This cabal/consortium is referred to by a multitude of names, which only makes it more difficult to pinpoint their identities – but the basic pattern of their strategies have proven themselves predictively effective.

In Texas, they followed the same pattern we saw previously in North Carolina, and two decades earlier in New Orleans with Hurricane Katrina – where their genocidal weather assaults were delivered at scale upon the innocent and unsuspecting masses, (of that largely poor area, deemed in need of UN Agenda 21-like “urban redevelopment.”)

As we are today in Year Six of the evolving and now fully bio-digital version of the global mafia’s barbarous war on humans, we can see how the damage they inflict only keeps escalating in its frequency and impact. As I it's long past time for us to stand up and reject this continuously escalating attack on the living world. While we are told that questioning these catastrophes, reveals a flagrant disrespect for the deceased and their families, we must press on, in spite of all attempts to intimidate us. There are far too many anomalies and unanswered questions here, for us to allow our questioning voices to be silenced.

At the same time, we know intuitively, that before these aggressions can be stopped in the world outside of us, they must first be stopped by realizations at the more personal introspective level within us. This is the level where the true contagions of fear and evil originate. If we could only see it for what it is, we would redouble our efforts to sever our dependency on such blatant lies, so that our doubts might be replaced with more courageous and fiercely independent thoughts.

Three years of the Gazan “Forever” Genocide have blown Titanic-sized holes in the sides of our ships of hope and reason. It’s obvious now, to a growing number of people, that organic life, is under constant attack from every side, by forces that we sense will not rest until they see us dead, disabled, or reduced to witless robot doorstops.

Such a covert war on humanity, has been expanding steadily since the end of World War II. This is what Orwell termed, the “perpetual” war – the war that is not meant to end. It might, without much trouble, alternately be called “World War III” – especially when you calculate the global death toll during this same 80-year period, one that reveals often subtle implementations of every new upgrade to the global technate’s latest “final” solution plan.

In the time since Covid, billions of bodies and brains have been poisoned. And now, with AI erasing old checks and balances, and muddying all moral constraints, those same high-level syndicate bosses are being supplied with every sort of new and deadly weapon, that then help ensure the uninterrupted continuance of their plots, including all sorts of Satanic sex and death rituals. (The recent Department of Justice statement, absolving Jeffrey Epstein and disappearing his client list, should be all the proof you need, that these evil practices reign unchallengeable in the halls (and boardrooms) of the corporate state.)

In considering Covid, it should also be understood, that those in charge of that PsyOp would never have launched Covid on the public, in the way that they did, unless they were absolutely confident that they had all the science, military/enforcement, and financial support, that they would need to sustain the world’s next “leviathan” PsyOp ever, from inception straight through to completion. There was an abundance of evidence available from Day #1 of Covid in March of 2020, that showed the true causes of the “scamdemic,” to which all that followed was just an elaborate and highly-coordinated propaganda plan.

If you couldn’t see through the veils of distraction back then, OK. Hopefully, you have a clearer picture now – and if you’re still not getting it, then there you are — because they obviously know everything about you, and so will keep yanking your chain… whenever they please, and to whatever degree they deem necessary… because that is their larger purpose, to get you to believe everything you are told to believe.

Meanwhile, the killing continues at the biological level through lethal digital-biopharma practices, that both weaken our immune systems and diminish our cognitive capacities. On top of that, we are being economically pounded. Everywhere jobs are disappearing, as AI takes over. Satisfying the AI beast’s energy requirements is becoming the central point of the new digital economy, that has since 1992, been conjoined with the goals of UN Agenda 21/2130, the Great Reset, the Central Banks, Secret Societies, etc., all of which find further “official” reinforcement in these new big technocratic governance bills that are being pushed through Congress. Anyone who has been in political office for more than a week knows exactly what is expected of them. They don’t need to ask.

Is it really that hard to wrap your head around the reality of genocide? Look around you. Wherever you live in the U.S., there was at one time, a native indigenous Indian tribe or nation of tribes near you, that fell victim to one or more mass genocides.

Almost every colonial power through history pursued this same strategy, in order to drive those people who originally occupied the land, out of history and into extinction. All world leaders, Trump and Netanyahu included, are inescapably tied to serving these larger colonizing, capitalist and enslavement aims of the collapsing Western empire, that has always preserved at its secret and blackmailed core, sex-trafficking and ritual child sacrifices.

Readying everyday people to disbelieve that fact, while accepting the state as “benevolent” employer, slaveowner, and master builder of the future, has been the primary focus of the last 80 years of state-sponsored propaganda and science.

This pattern of society destroyed from within is old as pre-history. In times of rapid decline, the masses are quickly deemed expendable, except for those who occupy the secured heights of massive power and wealth. Why else would they want us geo-fenced in stack n’ pack SMART cities, sustaining ourselves on crap chemical and bug-laced Frankenfoods, while we breathe toxic air, drink poisonous water, and get hoodwinked into hating our neighbors?

The odious transhumanist “religion” would not be pushed as hard as it is, except that it solves a slew of the tyrants’ problems at once, by physically and psychologically turning people into docile robots, who are conditioned to follow orders, at the same time, they can be easily reprogrammed, upgraded, or terminated anytime their “controligarch” overseers see fit to press a button, and erase them from the landscape, as well as from the weirder world simulation.

What’s has been going on in Gaza is simply more of this same business expanded to better serve our more vicious post-Covid and permanent PsyOp age. Normalize genocide so you can reduce the population by some horrific percentage. and then, where they once lived (and died) build an actual prison/reservation/concentration camp and force them all to live in that.

If you are someone who finds themselves longing for a solution to finally be found in Gaza, then you will surely be waiting in vain. Whether this blind spot in you is owing to overall cluelessness or to cognitive diminishment, we’re too far down the rabbit hole now to sustain such baseless fantasies, when the greater demand for each of us, by making a conscious choice to align our souls in sovereign dedication with truth… and trying to do that, while it is still within our power.

Whether you see it or not, all the multitude of genocidal depopulation plots are ongoing. Of the major ones, we have Ukraine and Covid, the disastrous DEW fires in California (Pacific Palisades, Santa Rosa, Paradise,) Hawaii (Lahaina), and the preposterous floods in North Carolina and Texas – and that’s not even including the untold devastation suffered in other parts of the world, because again… in case you failed the eye exam, the “NWO” extermination plan is worldwide, and involves the total conjuring of technology-supported “holocaust” rituals, that wipe the slate clean and speed up the replacement of our biology and psychology with bio-digital technology.

You don’t even need to be of more than average intelligence to figure this out. Their propaganda is built to generate repeated patterns that daily scream at you, and that cannot be explained by any other means, than to show that it is evil itself that now holds sway over the lives of men, and which works tirelessly to separate us from whatever remains of our human empathy and godliness.

Maybe you are one of those people who refuse to believe that evil exists, and that we should stay focused on materialistic matters… on reason and on verifiable “science.” Obviously, think what you like, but falling into such clownish confusion, at this late hour, means that you are essentially relieving yourself of whatever accountability you might have once held, as a protector responsible for anything important – not your children, not your family, not your community… not even yourself.

At some level, it’s even too late to feel bad about failing so miserably, because each of us has gotten to this place by virtue of the dehumanizing choices that we, along with billions of others, have been encouraged to make for many years. So, if that’s you, then you can be sure that a transhumanist future awaits you. Who knows… you may have more time than you think… or less.

But in the interim, you'll be provided with plenty of people to talk to – people who think exactly like you do.

The global syndicate’s “miserabilist” endgame is in its apotheosis now. More recently, we know that fertility rates in many broad demographics are at an all-time low. Pfizer’s own internal documents revealed that the Covid jabs quite specifically targeted our own (and future generation’s) ability to reproduce. OK fine, so you think that was just an accident too? I would suggest that nothing is by accident — not at these advanced levels of surveillance and control, with each of us packing an auto-updated detonator smartphone in our pocket.

The fact is, that the powers that “shouldn’t be” no longer require your participation, nor your consent, which means that their concerns have shifted from how to delude you, to how to eliminate you. And to this end, we should understand that genocide can and will take many different forms, while still being singularly merciless in the fulfillment of its core objectives.

At this point, if you have anything cogent to add to the conversation, please add it, (and I will try and respond) or else just go on doing whatever makes you happy, and don’t worry about the conversion of everyone you ever loved, into a machine. By virtue of your ongoing compliance, you reveal your intent, which includes desperately trying to insulate yourself from disturbing truths. While an understandable response, the fact is that the number of disturbing truths has exceeded all attempts at containment.

So, you either move to form some kind of intimate personal arrangement with truth as you understand it, or else, you will be swept up in a fate that is beyond your ability to direct – which we know serves a critical part in their plan to hasten our demise.

At every point along the way, they will insist upon your compliance. In their eyes, this justifies the continued force-feeding of your head with new and better propaganda, pharmaceuticals, poisons, and surveillance, until you find yourself trapped in a matrix-maze scurrying about trying to convince yourself that things are cool, when you know they're not.

If you follow what I’m saying here, then great — talk to me. And if you’re still feeling confused, then go ahead, do your thing. Few people will care or question why you behave in the way you do, or see what relevance your actions (or lack thereof) might have on the world pressing towards its penultimate moment. That is also because the distractions have reached critical mass and are being acted upon by next-level forces of momentum and gravity.

Now, I am well aware that no one cares what I say either, but I say it anyway, because I’m built that way. How are you built? What do you recognize as your guiding polestar truth? How do you express it? And do you see how hard it is to continue doing that, while keeping your energy consistent and moving forward? Do you even see, after all these endless attacks, how easy it is for you to be intimidated into hopeless silence?

That’s right… pretty damn easy... whether you know it or not. So, here’s to you and yours in a world where time is shrinking rapidly, in hopes that you might treat yourself and this precious moment with greater respect. If we can meet our fate with more self-respect, then that will stand as a gesture of some significance.

And, just so you know, no matter how it turns out, good hearts were always behind you. They did not need to be told what to do. They knew what their job was. They only needed for us to ask them to help us.

I’m reading a wonderful book, written in 1998, entitled, In the Absence of the Sacred. The author is Jerry Mander (1936-2023.) Twenty years earlier, Mander had published a much-discussed book entitled, “Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television.” Like his post-McLuhan contemporary, Neil Postman, Mander was an ardent liberal critic of of the early media and technology era.

What stood out for me in reading this book, was how Mander’s arguments were consistently framed in a way that I took to be indicative of an older liberal view of technology and social responsibility — a view that I recalled from my own youth beginning in the 1960’s, where it was generally presumed that intelligent people working together, would ultimately resolve their differences, in the course of arriving at just solutions to the difficult problems of the day. That was at least. the pervasive hope of that era.

To be clear, I am not referring here to the more recent “woke” liberalism. That’s another story entirely. My interest is rather in that uniquely 20th Century brand of liberalism, that arose out of the Roosevelt/Depression/”New Deal” era politics, and which came of age in the post-WWII U.S., where this notion of a cohesive liberal solidarity (as a signifier for “freedom”) was broadcast by our own government and media, in large part as a propaganda response to the chilling effects that German National Socialist propaganda had on the world. The impact that such agendas had on all nation’s newly formed government intelligence agencies, was everywhere seen in this post-war/ pre-TV era.

As Americans, we were constantly being encouraged to view ourselves as the victorious Everyman. And if truth be told, this was a phenomenally successful and roundly supported PR campaign, to which some still comforting after-effects, passed down through the decades, are still with us today… and as deeply ingrained in our nostalgic psyches.

In 2013, Fred Turner, a Stanford communications professor, wrote a book on this post-war period, entitled, The Democratic Surround. In it, he discusses a well-funded CIA program, initiated in 1950, called “The Congress for Cultural Freedom” (CCF). Its purpose was to lead an on-going anti-communist campaign to sell the idea of American “freedom,” both at home and abroad. The CFF included among its ranks, a large number of prominent artists, authors, and thinkers, including, among many others, the diverse likes of Jackson Pollock, Margaret Mead, John Cage, Tennessee Williams, and Langston Hughes.

A key figure in this conjoining of early TV-age liberalism and media was photographer, Edward Steichen, and his hugely popular book of that era, The Family of Man, which was turned into a touring show by the Museum of Modern Art, in the years after its opening in 1955. This book was one of the first and most famous coffee table books of all time, and one which I recall reading in our home, as well as seeing it in the homes of other families in our Southside Chicago neighborhood, most of whom, were in the early 60’s, as similarly liberal-minded as my own family was.

Mander’s liberal ethos pre-supposed the need for the pursuit of noble cultural objectives, which took him back to the significant time he spent among indigenous North American Indian tribes. It is in this context that he raises and explores the idea of the sacred, and how distant that concept was in the late 90s, when he was writing the book, from our recent aggressive revisonist thoughts on technology and culture.

Had I read Mander’s book at the time of its publication, I have no doubt, I would have fully subscribed to his humane prescriptive approach. That’s just how the 60’s children of Adlai Stevenson voters, like myself, did. Also, then as now, the fascination and concern of liberals with indigenous cultures, served a secondary purpose as a useful political control tool.

(Curiously enough, we can see these same strategies at work on the streets of LA just this week in June 2025, and just as they were in the BLM (George Floyd) riots of five years ago. It is a basic precept of propaganda, that to be effective, its key narratives must be distilled down to low common denominators — so that they are just dumb and generic enough for everyone to believe they know what’s going on, which ensures that anyone who doesn’t believe as you do, must be wrong and/or delusional.),

•••

Looking back from the perspective of 2025, however, it grows clear, that such a progressive and open-ended liberal view of science, progress, and social change, dissolves rather quickly, when it meets the realization, that almost no corrective regulatory constraints were ever placed on new developments in technology or science — in the 25+ years, since Mander published his book.

It feels that today, the most common place that humans find themselves collectively united, is as isolated parts of a churning mechanized and Internet-connected social narrative-making machine, created and maintained for our own good, by today’s wannabe Olympians, who from the highest imaginable levels of wealth. power have for many years now, exercised coercive media control over the increasingly indoctrinated masses, by way of converting us into hybrid half-man, half-machine “transhumans.”

This agenda serves to justify all exponential advances in science and technology, as expanding the technocracy’s ability to level, rebuild, and globally “reset” the basic operations of 21st Century technology, business, and finance.

But it’s also because those earlier liberal aspirations to shape a cautionary technology policy, which Mander’s perspective typifies, have all been irrevocably silenced, extinguished, locked out of future influence, and rendered socially irrelevant… generally without our necessarily even noticing it was happening.

The effect of these changes on everyday people, has been to leave them at the mercy of a totalitarian science and technology sector that brooks no hesitation that might slow the profit stream for those “controligarchs,” who have over the last few decades, seized windfall monopoly shares of wealth and control over nearly all major science and tech industries and agendas.

But behind this pervasive shift, something much darker is going on, if only we were more given to see and understand it for what it is. But there is a personal cost to us, whenever we dare to acquire such unpreffered knowledge… which too few of the “populace” are inclined to pay. Refusing to resist however, brings on a compromise of will… not to mention, the wholesale corruption of our human soul, which makes us even less ready to see and thus evade the advances of the oligarch’s aggressive technocratic and transhumanist agenda.

Back in the mid-1990’s, with the world enthusiastically welcoming the World Wide Web and Broadband Internet, such an overreaching capture of our future, was what many among the recently “wired” feared might happen, if science and technology got “out of control.” This is similar to the fears we experience today, as to what await us with AI… or with its ominous next-level General (AGI) & Super (ASI) upgrades.

In retrospect, while it’s certainly true that things did spin wildly out of control, I would suggest that this was less because of random circumstances, such as the natural flow of history, political conflicts, human nature, or even the skyrocketing increase in processing power… but rather because all earnest efforts at a more reflective, ethical, or human use of new technologies, were invariably targeted, so they could be more easily derailed and disallowed.

This explains why today, this same powerful group of psychopathic monopolists and their vast armies of lobbyists, constitute the single greatest obstacle to any effective regulation, or legal restraint being enacted, or any reasonable checks being put on the flow of profits.

Bottom line, is that the once this revised socio-cultural “liberal” perspective, that the American propaganda machine fostered for many decades, has in the 21st Century, been left gutted and flattened, by an unstoppable economic and PR steamroller, the origins of which can be partly explained by the story that the numbers shown in the chart below indicate.

That pre-millennium liberal class, as Americans knew it for so long, has died and disappeared. It just took us 25 years to realize it wasn’t there anymore.

And along the way, instead of the oligarchs bearing responsibly for their absence of moral concerns, what this alpha parasite class did instead, was to double-down on making sure that all “problems” or impediments to wealth accumulation, were handed over to their layers-deep teams of lawyers and experts in the fields of propaganda, media, mind-control, public relations, and social engineering, who were endowed with the authority to construct the narratives for them, which though they bore little resemblance to reality, still provided a media-addicted public with an explanation for every question — which more times than not, was accepted on the shallow basis of little more than that it “sounded good.”

Absent any concern for public interest, it was sufficient that clever, convincing, and well-paid marketers fed the public a steady stream of pleasant-sounding falsehoods, that deftly avoided any suggestion that it might still be within the public’s power to stand up and demand evidence as to what these powerfully protected plutocrats were up to behind the scenes.

(Perhaps, the penultimate example of such a PR smokescreen is the “Trust the Science” campaign. In terms of its actual meaning, it was as witless as it was effective, even while it eliminated the “evidence" layer that had historically stood between the verifiable truth and the takeaway messaging.)

•••

For these and a host of other reasons, the arrival in 2020 of new bio-weaponry and bio-surveillance technologies, delivered at scale, through the now ubiquitous mRNA technology, served as the indispensable component of both the Covid injections, and the plandemic planner’s criminal depopulation plans.

This “Great Reset” takeover, provided us with many clear signs, that the world as we had long known it, was no more — that it had been retired, and in its place, there arose a very different and more merciless world order, under the demonic committee-style stakeholder leadership of elite oligarchs, institutional bankers, unelected globalists, bio-digital tyrants, CEOs, “bought” scientists, and corrupt public officials, and administrators, all seemingly reading from the same master script.

So long as the stories that the propaganda media tells us, and which all its various media tributaries push downstream, portray these unnatural (and perhaps not even fully human) predators, as acting on behalf of the common people, then few will be given to ask deeper questions – much less to stand up and demand an end to their reign of murderous extortion, which is having such devastingly corrosive effects on our everyday personal relationships.

The consequences of so pervasive, (and near silent) high-jacking of reality by this huge “shiver” of blood-thirsty sharks, has always been to make sure that accountability could easily be side-stepped, that morality could be overlooked, and that absolute forms of power could become dependent for their uninterrupted profitability, on quietly raising the limits on criminal malfeasance.

And in the meantime, the public was left to slip deeper into a trance, where it becomes highly questionable whether they still retain the capacity to even think clearly, or whether their cognition had become hopelessly compromised by five years of spike protein poisonings.

(For example, only a scant percentage of the world’s population ever came to understand, how their unquestioning compliance with the Covid distancing, masking, and lockdowns… provided this overseer class with all the justification they needed to keep pushing the CV genocide forward… and straight into the present.)

Reinforced by the proven success of their Covid war plan, it became clear to the immoral, opportunistic, and ambitious parasites, that the rewards they could accrue, far outweighed th risks — which is why today, we are at a point, where almost every single social, political, and economic institution is rotted through with corruption.

So cowardly an outcome, also delivers its own eulogy for liberalism, which had no choice but to lay down its weary head, and depart its mortal coil, taking with it quaint old rallying concepts like autonomous, local. and grassroots activism, which are now almost entirely under the centralizing control of non-profit foundations, and non-governmental organizations. (The NoKings.com website lists over 200 partnering organizations.)

••• 

As to what it will take to restore us to a warm and caring sense of community — one that knows intuitively that those key stages of life, such as birth, death, grief, and joy are not meant to isolate the individual from society, but rather to provide the opportunity for shared rituals of passage that require us to join together as a community of conscience, so that we can raise each other up, at the same time we unite to bring on the downfall of tyrants.

Such a community does not rely on governments, or on any authority greater than itself, because it knows from history, that governments will always ultimately betray them for their own gain.

So, it is left up to each of us to be courageous in heart and so work to keep ourselves ready and willing to take on such daunting challenges, for the sake of our progeny, and for all those who might come after us.

But as to the practical steps that such courage might require of us, I will have to return to that at another time. In the meantime, feel free to use the comment thread to offer your own antidotes to the cold, uncaring, and “unliberal” conditions in which, we find ourselves at present.

God bless everybody!

Five years now, into the society-transforming “Great Regret,” and it feels to me that that some huge percentage of us are suffering the longer-term effects of losing some or all of our ability to feel and love as we once did.

Simply put, we let ourselves be distracted for too long. We let the social programmers program us, all the while thinking we were free of the programming. Too many of us have lost touch with our gardens and rivers, with our children, our families, and with lifelong friendships.

The larger conditioning reveals an always-increasing number of circumstances, that we are then expected to respond to, which keeps us always in the thrall of the programming. which first attacks us where we are most vulnerable, namely at the level of our personal “shadow.” Once we surrender access ato our subconscious, the lion’s share of our selves have been captured.

This situation also serves to further isolate and target all “dissenters” for approved condemnation by the 80% of people, that don’t even know they are programmed, and who will ultimately just follow the crowd in doing whatever they are told to do.

As the usurpation of our lives by technology expands, and as the speed and depth of our addictive media streams keep us hyperventilating and stumbling along, the majority will find themselves cascading, not just into despair, but also into deeper and more irreversible states of zombie-like behavior.

This happens I think, partly because we are not designed to process experience at such ridiculous speeds… and given that we can neither modulate or restrict these streams, nor our reactions to them, things quickly start to spill over, and as they do, they also erode our capacity to arrive at anything approaching neutral “downtime.”

Love is downtime. It has always been downtime. Any heartbroken fool can tell you that.

(Pornography and hook-up culture both seek to eliminate that downtime, by turning these travesties of love, into a a goal, a sporting event… and into something where one can keep score, and possibly win! Is it any wonder then that our feelings have turned hard and distant?)

•••

There is something perfectly selfless in giving and receiving love, but at the same time, we can neither impose that as a requirement upon ourself, nor expect it of anyone else.

Love must call you. It must appear as a prayer within you, one to which you can give yourself to completely.

That is how love is. I have experienced this in my life, as it was revealed by beautiful members of my own family. Alas today, everywhere, even once-emotionally solid families are suffering and stressed with too much unacknowledged grief and disconnection… as we now find ourselves under some sort of attack nearly all the time — which has been going on for decades now.

Hereto, the truth of the matter is that none of us was ever prepared constitutionally, for such an extended and painful series of evil and heartless assaults on our gentle souls.

We must refuse to participate, every time we feel pressured to give up or support the attack. Until we do that, we will continue to run around inside the cage of our mind trying to understand and trying to compensate for the loss of love, though I don’t think that can really be done successfully.

For love to be restored to us, we must throw off the excuses as to why we should not welcome and feel the sorrows that have imprisoned our minds, and that would turn our bones cold. In the end, we are here for nothing more important than the warmth that life in its wisdom and love in its mercy provide us.

Would that we might succeed in doing that… but there we go, dreaming again.

Blessings.

I have long suspected that I was a poor excuse for a materialist, as I was from an early age given by nature to a range of aspirations that included mystical considerations. And yet, people only rarely reveal themselves in such ways, preferring instead to frame themselves in acceptably concrete and utilitarian ways.

For the most part, the “real world” does not generally appear to us as a mirage, or even as a mystery or something etheric. Mostly, we learn early on, to grab hold, to the false solidity of the world. In spite of our quietly accepting that this is what conventions of unquestioning quotidian thinking expects of us, individually, we are all endowed with an ability to see beyond the many assumptions that attach themselves to this consensus view of materiality.

Personally, I have over the past few years, and especially since the biometric PsyOp spring of 2020, come to pay much closer attention to the thoughts (and transmissions) of certain wonderful and uniquely gifted mystics and clairvoyants, who have also helped pry open that same mystic channel within myself.

To take an example, when more mystical “veil-lifters” speak of the planet “Mars,” they do not speak of it like Elon Musk does, or as NASA does, or as our many science fiction movies represent it. In their so-called “scientific” astronomy, Mars is a distant place of rock and red dust, extreme heat and cold, light, and dark, all real, all part of the massive cosmic architecture of our solar system — all very solid and magnificent.

But, as I am coming to see it now, that concrete a definition of Mars, no longer makes sense to me. It rather appears to me now as a nexus of constant cosmological transmutation, an axis point of powerful metamorphoses, that first of all exists inside of my individual consciousness, as a level of being where our immaterial soul finds itself assigned to the destiny of its own evolution, which then puts my sights on a more transcendent embodiment of what I have come to experience as true and beautiful.

So good luck, my friends… on your own submersion in this ghostly and eternal process. Ultimately, it is nothing more than my own experience that I am trying to express. You are free to dismiss it, if that helps you to distance yourself from me, by categorizing my thoughts as conjectural or conspiratorial.

It is immaterial to me whether you accept or reject my views, as I am more than ever convinced that those diverse objects of my mind’s attention, cannot help but be only relevant to me… and not to anyone else.

Your mission, (should you choose to accept it) is to discover what part of the mystical experience is relevant for you, even in the face of the most fantastical of phenomena — i.e., your own shifting opinions, which are invariably the most disembodied and transient aspects of the self.

And yet, the way will remain open for us to one day see, that it was only our experience the whole time… and that upon reflection, it might further be revealed that we had so much more to gain by embracing our own wise counsel, and so much more to lose by rejecting it, for the sake of some other imposed ideology, cosmology, or materialistic philosophy.

It is a good season to set yourself a new direction, or perhaps awaken a new passion. It is also without a doubt, that we are living in one utterly hysterical historical moment. So, do not hesitate, but resonate with it all! Take it in, breathe it out, so that you might go your own way, both wonderfully, and lyrically, with as much excitement as you possibly can feel.

Blessings on you.

I was talking to a new friend last night who went to the Burning Man Festival for the first time this year. She had such a grand time, and it was such a delight to hear her talking about her experience, as it was so direct and so joyful, and she learned so much, in part I imagine because she brought a broad range of experiences to her adventure. She’s done a lot of cool and unexpected things in her life, which I think helped make her ready, (as not everyone is) to take in the experience just as she found it… and not to try to push it away, squeeze it into a box, or protect herself from it… but rather to allow the experience to have its full effect.

OK, so a few points here.

The first is that “full effect” is always in place at Burning Man, right? It’s silly to do any of it halfway. You’re in it, be in it. This means that soon enough, you may find yourself lost in a blinding sandstorm, or tossed head-first into the mud … so that the mercurial outer environment keeps interrupting your internal reverie, by jerking you back into sensory eality. That’s the full effect. You can’t escape it, and you don’t want to… not if you know what's good for you.

Secondly, in our conversation, I found myself trying to shape a point around the “immediacy” of the experience. What that brought up for me was this idea about Burning Man as a Mystery School.

OK, what makes it a mystery school is that the experience is rooted in a commitment to a rather demanding practice – one that unfolds in real time, as it supplies you, and all “non-spectators,” not just with occasional intellectual abstract learnings, but rather with repeated visceral and experiential learnings.

Now, ol’ Terrence McKenna, who is of course, a favorite of so many burners, including me… pointed to life as “the felt presence of immediate experience.”

OK, so assuming you’re in the moment, that felt presence of immediate experience should be obvious to you, and it may well be profound as well, because it cannot help but be profound... because you are so fully immersed in the multi-leveled experience of it.

Now, when we think about mystery schools, we might picture them as happening in a cloister where cryptic and mysterious teachings are handed down from the right-hand to the left-hand and around the back, but I think that’s a rather soft and ineffective model, because real experience is much more direct and far less cautious than that. McKenna again makes the point that visiting an ashram is never going to make your knees knock in the same way that anticipating 5 grams of psilocybin does

The fantasy of a mystery school is the idea of a peaceful place of ongoing illumination. The real experience, however, is more like having to fight for your life to keep yourself from being devoured by the fierce mythical monsters born of your own inner desires, fears, envies, and angers.

Now, back to Burning Man, maybe the system was set up by some gifted people, (most of whom I knew before there was a Burning Man.) Somehow these founder types knew enough to step out the way, and so allow the fest to develop on its own and in ways that made it possible for one to confront their own weaknesses and to summon their own strengths, that might allow them to survive and to benefit from a series of swift kicks to the head and ass, that are sure to bring you back to your senses.

•••

Now what does that mean? Well, to me that says that once there, you can’t avoid running into that experience, because it was right there waiting for you to run into it, because forces wiser than you, with the help of many good conversations, set it up in such a way that the system could produce the necessary effects, and in that mystery school context, that’s what you need… even if you don’t know that you do.

You certainly don’t want to have to sit at the feet of Baba Rama Lama to get the teachings, not when you can compress years of teaching into one immersive week of kick-ass experiences. You want the lessons to come to you, where you are, right there in the moment… and right now… Kaboom! … another kick in the head… another blast of beauty that you never saw coming, but now you will never forget the impact of it on your crumbling pyramid of old bullshit, because you can’t.

That’s why it’s a mystery school. None of it is scripted … it’s rather an insanely clever system that has been put there so that you might shove your mind up your imagination’s ass and shit out a new state of being.

Rudolf Steiner, who knew a thing or two about mystery schools, framed his teachings in the occult tradition, like he did with his modeling of the “Spiritual Hierarchy.” He would put that in front of you and at some point, you would start to vibrate with it and so make sense to you. Then, if you didn’t turn away or get scared, it would start to work on you and as a sort of transubstantiation, which is how Christ Consciousness illuminates and transfigures your soul.

You don’t have to think about it or weigh it… rather it just arrives as a multi-dimensional vision, like a lightning bolt, so that in that flash of your inner eye-opening, you just know that the Christ is the whole deal… and the only real way forward. And the kicker is that it doesn’t really even need Christ. You are the crucible in which the alchemical transformation occurs.

Christ Consciousness is the only consciousness that delivers the human contraption, the sort of genuine cosmic awareness that we all long for in life and that sometimes we have to spend many years getting close enough to it, so that one day, it just SNAPS and grabs you and throws you over the cliff and into some great new adventure of life… one fully unscripted one, that’s not pedestrian or conventional, but rather one that requires you to step outside of yourself and to be bigger and wiser than you were before… and so how do you do that?

Well, you don’t! It just happens and that’s why Burning Man is a mystery school and that’s why it’s good for all people … (even though I haven’t been in many years, memory serves me well. And don’t let yourself be deluded by how much it’s changed. Zuck won’t be with you when the dust storm lifts you off the ground,)

In most case, the experience can’t help but reveal itself, because the whole gig has been largely designed to be free of conditions and dependencies, so that it can operate in a way that fosters freedom, which involves neither pretending nor erudition. It’s not something that you can do and not be changed by.

If you open yourself to it, when the opportunity presents itself, then hopefully you can call the magic down, so all that good shit unfolds as it’s supposed to… in real time, in a fully immediate sense, so that it delivers a grand buzz that you’ won’t ever forget.

“Certain aspects of managing the future are growing simpler for the globalist elites, as their compromised teams of scientists become more adept at inflicting largely irreversible cognitive and neurochemical damage, including emotional/memory loss on an increasing numbers of human brains.”

This is the subject of a 2003 book, written by a German molecular geneticist named Dr. Michael Nehls in a new book, The Indoctrinated Brain.

Propaganda has always turned on converting the masses into a less critical and more compliant herd of unoriginal thinkers, i.e., “zombies” if you will. Now however, “real” molecular science, using the magic bullet of mRNA technologies, has opened a fast-track to that end, by offering new more effective methods for severing those connections that exist between certain parts of the brain, especially, within the hippocampus, where our “autobiographical memory” resides… and our trembling human “soul.”

The result of this process of degrading neural activity has been to create a growing number of slower-functioning humans … no longer simply “metaphorical” zombies, but rather actual, dull, and impaired bodies, that without this higher functioning connection to their souls and higher orders of thought, take to existing in a cyborg-like netherworld - where emotional connections grow increasingly difficult to maintain … and where personal memories rooted in foundational emotions and connections, become more difficult to retrieve … until eventually, these thoughts and feelings start to dissolve … until at a certain point, there’s no longer anyone “home.”

Unfortunately, billions of us are on track and being targeted for this same tragic fate … so don’t kid yourself that this approaching “transhumanist” conversion nightmare is not coming for you too… assuming it has not already grabbed you by your short neurons and swept you away in a nasty cytokine storm.

Cytokine storm/ Potentially fatal immune reaction

(A cytokine storm, also called hypercytokinemia, is a pathological reaction in humans and other animals in which the innate immune system causes an uncontrolled and excessive release of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules called cytokines.)

Breggin’s views and professional experience are particularly profound in this area, having spent much of his professional life, as a psychiatrist and expert witness combating the pervasive use of shock treatments, lobotomies, and anti-depressants.

It is a generally understood among behavioral analysts that there exists a notable distinction between a problem and a dilemma

A “problem" is something for which there exists a “solution.” A “dilemma" is something that can only be “managed” - hopefully more skillfully over time.

Winning a baseball game is a problem; reconciling yourself with mortality, is a dilemma. Replacing a broken window is a problem, maintaining a garden is a dilemma.

I think it is safe to say that owing to the mass media’s interpretation, the masses were led to see Covid as a problem, for which they were prepared to welcome the mRNA “vaccines” as the perfect solution, that would “fix” the problem, once and for all.

In this sense, the media encourgaged to public to accept its answers-based approach. That is very understandable given the abundance of punishing pressures that we were all experiencing, prior to the arrival of the jab in the Spring of 2021. 

Others saw it though, as a tricky dilemma … mRNA? … untested technology? … adverse events? … where’s the evidence? …  These folks were pursuing a questions-based approach.

Once you are convinced that you “know" the correct answer, all other options fade away. This was especially true when it came to the jab, as there was never any reasonable middle ground posited, which in most minds, left little to NO room for discussion.

You either took it or you didn't. And 5+ Billion people took at least one innoculation. Then you either took more, or you didn’t. To jab or not to jab, was publicly presented as an unambiguous act, which only stupid, uncaring, and irresponsible people would dare to do. In this way, it was presented as a purposeful act of social division. On top of that, we soon learned that there was also no undoing the consequences, just as there was never any liability on the manufacturer’s part, should you become ill, or die, as a consequence… just as so many millions soon did.

All that you were left with was the “belief" on your part, that this is the “right” and “necessary” thing for you to do. OK. On what then was that belief based? Do we even know? It was based on a constructed propaganda agenda to build trust in “state” authority, which was accompanied by a fear of suffering judgement by your peers, or retaliatory action by your employer?  All powerful and incessant pressures to be sure.

Anyway, as soon as the pointy deed was done, your were instantly plunged into a complex scenario - not at all an easy or trivial one. If it were trivial, it wouldn’t matter, would it? Most everyone would go along to get along, just as they have long done when encountering major propaganda narratives. This time however, the narrative included something new, a powerful and untested technology… mRNA “gene therapy” which changed all the rules, and nothing was the same after its introduction.

Here are the primary question that follow, as I have come to regard them.

"If someone offered to explain to me that taking the injection would not only NOT prevent or forestall my getting the disease in question, but might ALSO very likely put me at greater risk of suffering downstream injuries or death, over the course of my lifetime, what would I do? — Would I listen critically to what was being said to me, and weigh the ton of available evidence (if one is willing to dig below the mainstream topsoil) … or would I block it out and refuse to hear the evidence?”

As far as my experience goes, most people (perhaps 80%) would choose to block the new evidence, and simply refuse to consider (or respond to) other arguments - and in most of those cases, the reasons given would be not so much based on points of argument. They would be based on a conscious (or unconscious) decision to disallow any alternative perspective that might contradict the delivered the consensus-based conclusion.

Since 2021, I cannot readily recall a single instance, when anyone who I knew held the pro-jab (answers-based) position showed even a slight willingness to hear my argument … or ANY similar argument for that matter … that made allowances for the more questions-based position. What they all did instead was cling to the dogmatic and defensive position, which cut off any substantive discussion, and which by 2022, had to be held to, in spite of a long and well-documented litany of serious adverse reactions to the shots.

•••

After watching all this unfold, I delved deeper into uncovering the many reasons why this sort of avoidant behavior happens, and how it quickly establishes itself as a familiar and repeated behavioral pattern in psychological research.

Consider this… if you would.

“The State has taken the place of God; that is why, seen from this angle, the socialist dictatorships are religions and State slavery is a form of worship. But the religious function cannot be dislocated and falsified in this way without giving rise to secret doubts, which are immediately repressed to avoid conflict with the prevailing trend towards mass-mindedness. The result, as always in such cases, is overcompensation in the form of fanaticism, which in its turn is used as a weapon for stamping out the least flicker of opposition.” 

~ Carl Jung, (1875-1961) The Undiscovered Self

This is just the way I’ve seen things play out. I wish there was a way to explain away the time since 2021, as indicating something other than pathological behavior, but if such an alternative understanding is there, I can’t find it. Can you?

•••

Since I first became involved in social media 15 years ago and 15 years before that in online asynchronous conferencing, as is done on The Well, I have tried never to overestimate what online commuication was good for, or what its deeper implications might be for human behavior in general. 

Clearly, we are all being used as part of a science experiment by Facebook and the other major platforms, but still I felt my relationships were with real people, and so had an emotional connection to them that felt more personal, than public.

Even though we were speaking through virtual masks, the underlying activity was always about the people with whom I was interacting. This allowed me to regard each person as an individual soul… and doubly so, when I felt over time that we had grown into friends. 

This process was accompanied by an obligation to take the time necessary to communicate with these valued “friends” on even minor comments … and not just on big idea posts.

I have on several occasions been booted off of Facebook for bullshit violations of community standards, which leaves you no recourse but to face the impenetrable labyrinth of protest protocols. Over the course of doing this, the disappointing realization hits you, that in this virtual worl,… “Nobody’s gonna miss you when you’re gone.”

Granted I’ve got another account and I’m in touch with many of those friends there who I initially met on my old account … but since I was deleted and so no longer appearing in anyone’s newsfeed, I’ve had maybe three people check in to ask me if I’m OK, or where I am, or what happened? 

It’s not an overwhelming thing, and part of me has lost patience with Facebook censorship, but what it suggests is that my innocent assumptions around social media carrying over into our personal lives may have been overly optimistic, and that in fact, we’re all a little less connected to each other than we thought we were, and that unless one’s in close physical contact with people, it’s very easy for all parties to the matter to grow more distanced. 

Having producd large public parties and monthly art salons for 25 years, I knew what knowing people and being part of a community meant, and how critical that was to the experience of staying in touch with others.

•••

I think many of us have felt a similar distancing since 2020, within our own family and friends circles, This can be a shock too, because if it can happen with those you love the most, then what about people you’ve never even met physically, but that you still care about … even though it’s all been virtual (and even in spite of a handful of actual phone calls.)

So, I ask myself, how do I suppose that connection is going to maintain itself once you one day find your access to social media is cut off? I have anold list of 11,000 email addresses, once I stopped promoting my events, I stopped sending to that list. Communication on social media is generally happens within the platform, even though I would prefer to be able to call up the most interesting people I know and talk on the phone … but that doesn’t seem to happen easily either.

I can’t say that I feel too optimistic about anything important or emotionally supportive carrying over. The social media platforms are all provately owned and controlled, and their histories all trace their origins back to the military-industrial complex. In their origins, is their future foretold.

•••

Call it a premonition or a fear, but mine is that the technocratic totalitarian forces that are running the world and pushing “The Great Reset” are intent upon us transferring our real-life relationships into data that is the nativr language of the Metaverse. To ensure we do that, they have dropped a bomb on all our friendships, on our relationships, and on our families. These attacks are scientifically designed to distance us, and to break us apart. They make us suspicious of each other. They do what no one has ever been capable of doing before … they atomized us by way of turning our living cells into inert dust in the wind.

The platforms have seized too much of our intuitive life and too much of our soul’s life too… beacasue we allowed then to do that. It’s hard to win those initial gifts back or to be the people that we were before social media arrived and before we let them colonize our brains and turn our feelings into emojis.

•••

And of course, now we have this new challenge in that given the nature of the mRNA vaccines in the technocratic bio-surveillance scheme of things, we are being split into two types of humans … 1) those, like myself, who insist upon the primacy of the physical body, with its fundamental capacity for intuition, inspiration, and imagination… and 2) those who bend to authority, to consensus thinking, to the “mass formation” which means responding as their peers do, and not questioning what is told to them by the media. 

I can’t be that person. Fortunately, I know many others feel as I do, but unfortunately, we don’t get to visit with each other in the kitchen over coffee - and I for one, surely wish we could do that.

Is it not curious how the Covidiot swept into your life overnight, and in so dramatic a way, by instantly assuring you that it, and it alone, had come to save and protect you and all those you love from certain peril. It certainly was persuasive, was it not? And yet, it was your acceptance of that first unsubstantiated premise that precipitated all the complications that ensued. If you had just said NO, things would’ve turned out quite differently.

And was it not constantly attending to you, inquiring how you were, telling you what to do - oh, and how to think and how to believe in it, by way of endless references to terror and death that it put before you every day? And there was the religious-like salvation that it also told you, could be yours, if only you fully believed.

Moving forward in time, at what point was it that you began to think that perhaps the Covidiot was not who we were told it was, but that it just might be playing you for a fool and using you to build itself up, while it tore you down? Did it ever occur to you that perhaps it was a major psychopathic military operation come to gaslight your ass and steal your very grip on soi-disant "reality?"

Is it not curious how it slowly slipped away without even saying goodbye, without making amends, without explaining itself, or even wanting you to take notice? Instead, it just tiptoed offstage, as if nothing had happened - as if 1 million small businesses had not been destroyed under its auspices, as if countless people and children had not succumbed to trauma, as if many millions of people had not died … not from the disease to which the Covidiot (and its many friends) held all patent rights, but from those many things that people die from all the time - but that during its stay, were universally classified and treated as Covid, with all the deadly treatment protocols and cash incentives, that were apparent in the real suffering that accompanied those deaths.

•••

No, it’s gone, leaving only memories, and with the streets of the world littered with mountains of infected masks. Doubtless, it’ll be back soon enough under another newly-labeled variant … but it’s nowhere to found now… so please don’t ask questions or wonder where it went or what it was that people actually died from or whether they were being lethally injected, and/or terminated by one of its patented scientific snake oil mRNA concoctions?

No, the CV idiocy has other work to do now. It’s chameleon/trickster nature is needed in other places, where they can continue to contort people's perceptions, while it cruelly toys with their emotions.

The Covidiot may be gone now, and it leaves behind many people who made a fortune by taking advantage of the many lucrative offers, pay-offs, buy-outs, and investment opportunities that it provided them.

Our souls have been left in a sad internal state of affairs. Each of us remains beautiful and holy even as the world around us crumbles, in defiance of ample evidence of evil agents exercising undue control over us… which once given, can never be reclaimed.

I obsess on truth. That is my personal cross to bear, you could say. I do that, because I feel that without the balm of truth, we can never align with those better parts of our natures - those parts of us which are unafraid of being either wrong or openly generous .

Because tell me, without these finer parts of us, what remains which makes life genuinely worth living?

I suppose at some level, we should be grateful to the Covidiot for the lessons it taught us … in its deceitful and abusive way.

But I doubt that we will actually learn the lesson, as is it not already clear that what we are seeing in all the plethora of psychological operations that have happened in the wake of the Covidiot’s reign? The pattern is being blatantly repeated ad nauseum.

It is a tragic but true impulse within us, not to think too much, but rather to simply believe that the world starts anew each morning and that things are the way they are, and that behind it all is a very “solid” reality that we should acknowledge … and that there is also a continuity to the plot twists, and to the cast of characters on the media stage, which help us to trick ourselves into believing that their intentions are good in spite of their actions being so obviously evil.

But this is the world we live in now, which sees us tenuously balanced on the edge of a cliff, where we wait — billions of sleeping, well-meaning people who have exhausted themselves running away from the truth for so long, that now there are no longer any soft landing options left us.

It takes notable courage to stand up to what the modern world throws your way. Few of us have that much courage. We can only do what we can, given the circumstances, until we cannot do anymore, even while seeing ourselves reflected in the mirror of our own futility. At least, we are never left alone in that reflection, as this is where the masses are always gathered.

At this point though, there is little hope that anything will come to save us. It may already be too late to stop anything … so my friend, be with yourself and do the best you can.

If you want to rethink things — if you want to blame yourself for past failings, that’s OK. It may not help but it makes more sense than blaming people you don’t even know - figments of someone else's imagination who were created by the magicians of money and media for purposes of misleading and misdirecting your own spirit and peace of mind.

The imposter that was the Covidiot is still out there, forever assuming new names, and consistently intent upon destroying lives by its repetition of the same repulsive acts ... over and over again.

There is no collective solution to this predicament. It’s a Luciferian force that we each must come to do battle with individually. That which is formed in the shadow world, must be redeemed in that same shadow world.

May you at least, be lucky enough to find yourself doing battle alongside some valiant comrades, with whom you can share some measure of lasting and invincible love, and still vivid memories or our absurd past, that is returning for us, in the guise of the future. Be ready.

Somedays, a disquieting feeling passes over me, where I cannot help but think that there must be other people — possibly even many other people, not so different from myself, who just might be feeling something similar to what I am feeling about the sources of the chaotic changes happening all around us.

Then I wonder if perhaps they too find themselves wrestling with the difficult realization that many of those whom we have loved so long, no longer seem able to find the words or take the steps necessary to return to the old familiar haunts where we once naively thought we would spend the rest of our lives — at least until the events of March 2020, stole our old lives away from us ... along with torn clumps of our innocence.

Am I the only one who is finding themselves forced to question the very purpose of living one’s life without the comfort and compassion of those very people who once gave it such rich meaning … but who now cannot seem to give it more than a fraction of that same meaning and effort - a situation which I think serves to make everyone’s hold on life shallower and so rationally less essential to grab onto tightly.

I have never in all my life looked upon my fellow man and had to so seriously question whether or not I thought we actually have what it takes to survive this new holocaust — with our humanity intact.

It seems that many have so abandoned the warm flame of connection, such that it is no longer a given that parents will still be able to stand and protect their children from having their bodies and minds hijacked and transformed into a barcoded property of the state.

Does anybody really imagine that such a metaphysical war is not happening, or that it hasn’t happened multiple times in recent history, or that countless good people haven’t died as a result of this and earlier attacks?

Don’t be naïve … In the face of so much premeditated death and suffering, it is unseemly.

And forget about most of us adults; as we are in large part anyway, past the point of actually rejoining the human race. Nope - not since rejoining the human race got redefined as doing every last thing we are told to do.

Nothing could be sadder from the truth.

I am grateful that I carry a surplus of raucous memories within me – many celebratory moments, along with countless nights of warm love and gentle commemorations that overflow with the milky way of human kindness.

Grab it all folks - as if your life depended upon it … because it just might.

Hold it close, because none of us knows what’s coming - though I can point you right now to hundreds of people with incredibly strong intuitive powers and giant hearts who have shown themselves to be fiercely dedicated to bringing the truth to light through constant questioning of our labyrinthine modern matrix … the most advanced criminal technocratic open-air prison of all time.

Hold it tight, friends - as I expect we will need all the love, beauty and truth we can gather … in order to help us weather the many storms that are to come.

At least in the not so old days – in the times of our grandparents, we knew (certainly better than we do now) who the enemy was. We had a pretty good idea at least of who was out to kill us - and we even knew who might step in to defend us. It was, in comparison to now, an age of fucking heroes.

Today, in the years since Covisd launched, most of us still can’t put our finger on anything approaching the truth - because we have fallen for the devilish trick of inverting the good, the true and the beautiful into something morally incomprehensible — even to ourselves.

It is all there to see, of course – plain as day – but it cannot help but remain invisible - (not surprisingly, just like the Covid PsyOp) – until more of us are ready to allow that liberating truth entry into our fragile heart and soul.

What must be kept in mind when analyzing and unraveling so-called “CONSPIRACIES” is that whomever the perpetrators, i.e., the money, brains and power behind these spectacular and intensely mediated events are — the one thing they require above anything else … is the ability to maintain complete CONTROL over all aspects of the elaborate psychological operation (the so-called “PsyOp”).

In considering the Covid “operation,” it is useful to ask what parts of that plan reveal themselves to be most easily controllable – because it will be those parts that can form the universal basis of the accompanying coverup. Other parts that might prove more difficult to control – might find themselves either delayed or scratched from the plan altogether – such that we may never know what they were. What remains is the core control agenda.

Let’s take a quick review then of the state of our GLOBAL CONTROL GRID and its ability to manage the fabricated FALSE FLAG aspects of the operation,

1) At present, we know that the “corporate” MEDIA is embarrassingly controlled, and that any outpouring of public media news and information (increasingly aggregated within big corporate social medis platforms are easy to aggressively suppress. As the mass media is the primary chronicler of the “event,” their involvement must be ever-present and constantly at the ready to deliver highly weaponized and targeted propaganda to modify public opinion in whatever way they see fit. Covid could never have happened unless the dominating “corporate” media were not fully in control and instantly responsive to new directives from higher-ups. 

2) We know as well that the aims of the expanding TECHNOCRACY are intrinsically tied to and dependent upon the integration of new TECHNOLOGY that remakes the old legacy systems behind politics, education, business, that assume new aspects of an increasingly centralized and monopoly-focused corporatocracy, which over time, takes on more and more totalitarian characteristics. Here too, we can see that all these very hierarchical aspects of society are securely controlled. So many technologies in their most advanced form must be in place and operational here before any endeavor of this magnitude (or 9-11 before it) could secure the green light.

3) We also know that so large a plan impacts every part of the social, political and business INFRASTRUCTURE, at national, state and local levels … including those managed by national and international organizations and institutions through various plans of action (foremost of which is UN Agenda 21) which are constantly updated to better integrate and align with the rushing stream of changing narratives. 

4) One foundational assumption around the Covid-1984 mega-caper is that the perpetrators required 100% control over the entire healthcare system - both the public and private healthcare systems, the AMA, hospitals, unions and of course all big pharma companies that served as key financial conspirators/partners to the whole plan of action.

5) Additionally, central to the plan are the bio-pharma companies and drug manufacturers operating in unison in both their production and financial capacities – as they also enable money-laundering by which massive amounts of money pass through them before being redistributed on the back-end. 

6) Of course, somebody's got to pay for all this and if you look at it in any sort of conventional way, you'll come up empty as to how that happens. However, once you see how their mafia cabal’s has gained sufficient control over the financial system, then you can create unaccountable control over the money supply.

You hear a lot of talk about how the Fed is just printing magical money out of thin air... through the fiat currency system. I don't claim to understand more than dribbles about economics, but I know enough to know that there is truth in this idea and that this is where the money is coming from to pay everybody and their cousin off for complying with the dictates of the twisted brains behind the operation. This is what gets people to do what they're told to do, right down to the smallest detail … from the heads of major corporations down to local school boards and union reps.

7) More than any other element tough, the one aspect of the master plan – and the one to which all the other parts must stay subservient – is the incessant FEAR narrative … unadulterated, constant, pervasive fear constantly injected into the bodies and brains of a confused and trembling public from every corner and through every existent medium platform and public forum.

Any high-level social engineering architect who has been through similar past operations – such as Gates was in India and Africa or as Fauci was during the AIDS era – knows full well that unless you are relentless in stoking and maintaining fear and uncertainty, you cannot keep the “mass formation” building, and without a driving mass psychosis (of the sort that Mattias Desmet (and many others before him discuss) you can’t pull off a pandemic or provide sufficient cover for a genocide … at the least you don’t have one capable of lasting this long while still retaining its iron grip on the public’s collective imagination.

The next step down in any true conspiracy requires that the criminal perpetrators are always able to adjust their narratives on the fly throughout the entire society in order to accommodate the constant change in news and media reports.

Personally, I no longer pay so much attention to the daily shifts in the narrative. For me, this traces its roots back to March of 2020, when I first heard Drs. Andrew Kaufman and Tom Cowan explain how the virus had not been isolated, such that nobody could actually FIND an actual sample of a SARS-CoV2 virus.

On top of that, there was nothing close to a reliable test for it - just the misused PCR test that has always been eminently controllable to deliver whatever results the architects of the plan need to deliver at specific points in the course of events.

Beyond that, the mandated TREATMENT PROTOCOLS, all top-down issued from the most powerful and completely managed, monitored and controlled organizations and institutions … which is what ensured that we would see a great killing off of as many old folks as possible, while still maintaining the cover of “plausible deniability” such that the perpetrator/architects could always avoid direct detection and embarrassing questions and accusations - all of which where controlled by the media in ways not unlike the Jeffrey Epstein operation.

As I see it, if you can get people to abide by a series of perfectly inhuman orders, such as denying them access to their dying relatives, it’s not such a great leap to get them to smash their own balls with a hammer - and pay for the privilege.

And predictably, whenever the perps are challenged, they must have at their disposal a whole battery of justifications, excuses, phony science, available flaks, fraudulent experts and willing celebrities that they can toss at the media, which then turns it around and packages it to the public as “real,” important “science” and irrefutable “truth” - when all it is (or ever was) is carefully controlled bullshit.

This is all especially astonishing when you consider how ruthlessly good decent people were forced to suffer for their failure to imagine the possibility that an extermination plan as demonic and reprehensible as this one could be real.

That such an insanely high emotional price was exacted upon the families of the prematurely deceased tells us all we need to know about how much in control, not to mention how ruthless the perpetrator/ “true” conspirators were.

But understanding the depth of the depravity also speaks to the brute force that fear narratives have on a naive public - who repeatedly gave those high-level architects the permission and confidence that they needed to pull off such a monumental plan. 9-11 proved such insanity was perfectly possible. Now Covid (along with the planned control demolition of America and much of the world) will take the brutal homicidal predatory strategy to the next level — very possibly the final level.

Into the traps they have set for us, the majority of us are marching forward of our own volition. The problem of course, is that we are fast approaching a dramatic point of NO RETURN, where the technology behind universal vax passports and digital IDs make it so that even if we desperately wanted to rebel - or in some way “exit the Matrix” - it would be too late for us to do that.

As Yuval Noah Harari (historian & darling of the Davos/WEF set) has told us ... “Digital dictatorship ... it’s irreversible! Once it’s here; it’s here forever.” 

We had plenty of time to see, but only a few chose to do so. So long as the fear narrative never lets up - the whole monstrous hoax was able to move forward - 3 months! - 6 months! - one year! - 18 months!  - and now nearly two years! Utterly astonishing, but true. If we had only understood enough to say NO early on and mean it, this might be long over now. … Alas, it is of such stuff that fantasies are made.

If you are among the genuinely curious who avidly seeks out the truth, you will be familiar with the countless courageous medical professionals who have spoken out at great risk to themselves on the dark and suspicious agendas that they see driving these Covid-1984 events. 

One exemplary truth-teller, I would like to quote here is Dr. Michael Yeadon, a former VP of Pfizer, who spoke these words on December 30, 2021.

“This system is being put in place using lies, and it’s being put in place using lies for some purpose, and I believe that purpose is complete totalitarian control. And I think the purpose of that is going to be mass depopulation. 

I can’t think of a single, benign interpretation for the simple creation of these top up vaccines, let alone the lies that surround them. And I’m absolutely terrified that the combination of vaccine passports and top up vaccines is going to lead to mass depopulation. Deliberate execution, potentially of billions of people.” (link)

Even in a world totally overwhelmed by contrived fears, perhaps the greatest fear arises in response to our desperate need to side-step and avoid at all costs any realization of just how badly we have all been tricked, abused and fucked over.

Clearly, what the Covid operation has demonstrated is that people will go to incredible lengths to prevent themselves from coming into possession of the truth.
