3/8/20- A Should-Be Alzheimer’s Patient as Presidential Front-Runner, Continued

To reiterate, Joe Biden has been unable to recall all of the following things:

1) His wife’s identity

2) His sister’s identity

3) His own name

4) Obama’s name

5) God’s name (“go you know, the thing”)

6) Which state he is in

7) Which office he is running for

Significantly, 6 out of 7 of these severe lapses happened in the last 30 days or so. Biden has also displayed decreased inhibition and aggression (both symptoms of dementia), repeatedly lashing out at and insulting anyone who questions or obstructs him in any way. It’s not a stutter: Biden has become considerably impaired, is unfit to lead, and needs to drop out now.

There are many senior citizens (though most of them a lot older than Biden) who have lost a similar amount of acuity, and there’s nothing wrong with that; to one degree or another, it’s part of life. But they and Biden belong on a rocking chair, in retirement (or poolside, golden leg hair exposed for all to behold); not in the highest office of the land, running our lives.

3/6/20- It’s Socialism for the People, or Continued Socialism for the Banks and Military-Industrial Complex; Choose One (or vote/call for neither)

For reasons I’ve outlined before, I don’t support socialized medicine. The government has no right to decide what people do with their bodies, and has no right to essentially enslave doctors and healthcare providers.

Government-run healthcare is said to cost $50 trillion ‘over 10 years,’ or in non-propaganda terms, $5 trillion a year. But health insurance premiums already cost $4 trillion a year – not counting co-pays, ‘shared resposibility’ payments, etc. So it’s more or less a wash, and would seemingly eliminate the maddening ‘certification’ process, the tens of thousands of unrelated, non-mutually-accountable companies that are involved (many of whom are wildly overcharging/defrauding customers/insurers/the government), etc. We already spend 50% more than the #2 highest-spending nation on healthcare (an astounding 14% of GDP; most developed nations with a single-payer option spend 6-7%), so it’s hard to imagine efficiency could go down from here; a wash again seems likely, or maybe even a slight improvement. Again, I don’t support it on ethical grounds, I’m just looking at the numbers.

The imperial war machine aka ‘national defense’ costs $750 billion/year plus the $400 billion per year in interest (which would skyrocket if rates rose modestly) that is arguably 100% attributable to past/current war spending. Then there’s the VA budget, the security-theater agencies, and the ‘intelligence community.’ So we’re in the neighborhood of $1.5 trillion a year for an offensive foreign policy that has in recent decades done little to nothing (or much worse than nothing) for the physical safety of Americans. The rarely mentioned bank bailouts and ‘liquidity injections’ (i.e. ultra-low/no-interest cash) from QE have cost taxpayers trillions more, directly and in the form of current and future inflation.

If we define socialism as the confiscation of private product for public purpose, we already have socialism for the military-industrial complex and the banks (not that these entities are even public). If welfare for these special interests ends, we would be able to (sort of, for a little while) afford many policies of a candidate like Bernie. But it doesn’t and we try to have both, as all of the mainstream Democrats propose, we’ll quickly go bankrupt or destroy our currency (and will likely sooner or later do so anyway, if the status quo continues).

Of course, I don’t support either of these routes. Instead, the federal government’s functions should be dramatically limited as the Tenth Amendment requires, and the states can then decide if or how much to tax and spend for social programs like healthcare. Georgia, Wyoming, Hawaii, and Massachusetts shouldn’t be forced to live under an identical system. A wide range of degrees of socialism-capitalism can work and have worked on a small enough scale where there is sufficient social and cultural cohesion, and local, regional, or state populations can decide what degree they want.

To be fair in all this, if the military-intel-financial imperialism did end, the US and US dollar would before long drop sharply in relevance and value, and the purchasing power of Americans would drop significantly, at least for a time. Our country would then have to rely on productivity and innovation, not bullying, to remain near the top economically. If people are going to vote for the bullying in order to hold onto world hegemony, they should stop the moral posturing and be honest about it; though I suspect that wouldn’t work.

3/4/20- Bernie Was the [Democrat] People’s Choice in 2016, and Still Is in 2020

The idea that Bernie represents a fringe, minority element of the Democratic party doesn’t hold water. Bernie beat Hillary fair-and-square, head-to-head in 2016. Bernie won, Hillary lost, Bernie got cheated, Hillary stole the nomination. The same is happening now. Buttigieg and Klobuchar were bribed to drop out overnight, and Warren may have been bribed to stay in. If Warren had dropped out, as she certainly should at this point, Bernie would be ahead considerably in delegates right now, as he was at this point in 2016. As for Bloomberg, his support in many or most cases may be support for a relative Washington outsider, which doesn’t necessarily translate to Biden votes, endorsement of Biden notwithstanding. Not to say Bernie is far and away the favorite, but I think he could beat Biden in a two-man race, especially if they debate, which could easily go badly enough to scuttle Biden’s candidacy overnight. Every additional minute of public speaking time Biden gets, his chances of embarrassing himself one too many times and blowing it all rise dramatically.

This comment isn’t meant as support for Bernie; I align closely with Bernie on a number of issues, but I think his domestic economic policy is deeply misguided in the long-term, and while we need a formidable defense against our predatory system of imperialism and scam capitalism (our centrally controlled, Fed-run, Fed-owned economy, as opposed to a real free-market economy with free money or sovereign money), Bernie’s thinly veiled Marxism isn’t it. (Yes, I know that isn’t his [stated] platform, and he could never achieve it anyway.) I won’t fall into the false two-choice, R-D paradigm and say who would be better between him and Trump; I just don’t want to stand behind him as a candidate for that reason (nor do I stand behind Trump).

3/4/20- A Should-Be Alzheimer’s Patient as the Presidential Front-Runner in Truth-Optional America: Sounds About Right

It’s very obvious that Joe Biden, who would be 78 at inauguration, is suffering from ‘mild cognitive impairment’ (MCI), which is described in medicine as a first stage in dementia and Alzheimer’s; and should consider seeking diagnosis and treatment for the disease. Granted, nearly all people in or near their 80s have some degree of mental impairment, however slight; most are retired or working relatively inconsequential jobs, though, like Biden should be. But it doesn’t matter, because Biden is the establishment – the debt-money creators and the media and military-intel machine they own – on autopilot, as evidenced by the media’s giddy reporting of his new lead in delegates, and he doesn’t really need to do anything or make any important decisions; his advisors can do that. And no, his gaffes are not all from his hidden stutter, as propagandists at The Atlantic have suggested: that won’t cause you to forget what season it is, what Barack Obama’s name is, and what our founding political document is called, to cite just a few of many dozens of similar examples (introduced his wife as his sister, announced he was running for US senate, etc., disturbingly, 4 of 5 of the aforementioned cases happened within the last month, so I’m not cherry-picking). Even worse would be that Biden is just clearing the way for Hellary’s (or perhaps even Barack’s, though seemingly not likely) brokered-convention return, but no point speculating on that.

(This is by no means meant to mock sufferers of dementia/Alzheimer’s, a brutal disease. People with this condition and with normal age-related mental decline do not lose value as human beings, and can be lucid and correct about things often, or even most of the time; but they have no place in highest-level leadership positions in a complex society and economy, where we need people operating at 100% of their capacity.)

(I’d like to see Trump defeated, but it has to be by the right candidate. Trump has done some good things relative to his predecessors, particularly in the realm of foreign policy, but I’m far from a fan. He’s shown his true colors as a wannabe authoritarian, and yes, fascist. The increasingly apparent disdain for free speech and peaceful protest (sure, some protests are engineered as Trump claims, but speech must be fought with speech, not force), the uncritical, unconditional praise, even worship of police and military, the scapegoating of outsiders: it’s textbook [attempted / early-stage] fascism. Sadly, these tendencies have been checked not by any kind of genuine, liberty-minded opposition, but by a shadow-government hell-bent on keeping all the control for itself. Yet for all his faults and dangers, I’d say Trump has been a considerably better president than Obama, who was merely an establishment lackey, likely with origins in the CIA, overseeing the continuation of the decades-long, incremental destruction of national sovereignty and individual liberty in America [a ‘NWO’ project to which many Americans are oblivious], just as Hillary would have. My hope was/is that Trump’s rocky detour will forestall that agenda and perhaps derail it to an extent as time passes and the world changes in the meantime; we’ll see soon enough.)

3/4/20- Aldi Bean-Buying Tip; Hot Chocolate, Kuna and Otherwise, as the Best Form of Cacao/Cocoa; Are Some Dark Chocolate Bars Problematic as a Source of Polyphenols?

A few unrelated diet points. Aldi’s ‘Dakota’s Pride’ beans ($0.50/can) are labeled as being produced without BPA, while organic canned beans at Aldi / Wegmans / Whole Foods (~$1/can) do not specify BPA content (though I would assume no BPA?). Haven’t seen claim on other non-organic bean brands. Obviously dry beans are the value leader by far, but take more time and consideration to prepare and store. From the limited amount I’ve read, pesticide residue and lower nutrient density doesn’t seem to be a huge concern in non-organic beans and lentils, unlike with other crops.

I’ve recently experimented with substituting cocoa powder (natural, non-dutched) for coffee (while going some days without either to avoid dependence). Saco makes a good organic cocoa powder, $3.99 for half a pound, cheaper than organic coffee. I alternate hot-chocolate recipes between A) the Kuna recipe (my understanding of it: thoroughly mash a banana, mix in cocoa powder [they appear to use the roasted, ground whole bean, which is not defatted], boil, and strain out small amount of banana solids [I eat them separately; easy way is to place strainer spoon over coffee cup and pour in from saucepan]) B) straight cocoa powder (acquired taste), C) cocoa powder mixed with coffee, about 50/50. You could also add a small amount of stevia to straight cocoa for some sweetness. Studies have conflicted as to whether roasting beans (cocoa) or leaving them raw (cacao) results in the highest polyphenol content / bioavailability, but it’s off the charts either way.

[For reference, the Kuna are an Indian tribe of Panama and Colombia, many of whom drink the above recipe 3-4 times daily and have almost no heart disease, and very low cancer rates; there may be some other reason for this, but cocoa and its antioxidant/polyphenol content seems like the most likely candidate; the diet is also high in fish, and high in fiber. Hot chocolate has a multi-millennia history in the pre-Columbian Americas, apparently starting with the Olmec people].

I used to be a regular buyer of Lindt 90% bars, and still buy them on occasion. I took the ‘90%’ cocoa claim at face value, however, I recently noticed that the ingredients may be less than optimal. ‘Chocolate’ is the number one ingredient by weight (no details on processing method), then cocoa butter, which seems to have limited nutritional value (cocoa polyphenols are water soluble), then ‘cocoa powder processed with alkali’ (i.e. dutch-processed, which reportedly destroys 60% of the polyphenol content). Before making a judgment, more info is needed on proportion of alkali-treated powder to ‘chocolate’ content. Apparently though, Lindt does not use dutching for its 70% or 85% bars, the former of which is a little high in sugar (Lindt 85 is also the best taste/health balance IMO, esp if using as a dessert). If dark chocolate bars are a regular purchase for you, you might want to double-check the processing methods. If I’m unclear on ingredients or processing for a product, I just call the company and ask. They’re sometimes uncomfortable with the probing, but in general they’ll answer your questions.

Personally, I’ve found hot chocolate, straight or sweetened, to be the most pleasant way (and longest-standing, historically) to regularly consume cocoa, and it seems like it confers the most health benefits with the least costs, though bars (which I may go back to later) can also do so if chosen wisely. Pure hot cocoa can be an acquired taste, but 92-100% in solid cocoa isn’t, for me or anyone else I know. In spite of the ultra-high (maybe even suspiciously high?) antioxidant content, I don’t rely on cacao as a panacea of any kind, more as a natural medication/supplement to a healthy, whole-food diet.

2/27/20- Thoughts on the Coronavirus

(edit 3/16/20: I retract many statements in this post but will leave it up for honesty’s sake)

First I’d like to answer some common dismissals:

‘The media can’t be taken seriously anymore.’ Yes, the media has cried wolf countless times, with SARS, the swine flu/H1N1, MERS, and other scares. The media lies and has no credibility, its reports are often fake or exaggerated, and it might even fake a pandemic; but pandemics are still a real thing, unless ‘history’ is fooling me again, as it has in the past e.g. with respect to aspects of slavery and other major episodes. The Spanish Flu, as an example, is said to have infected around 30% and killed nearly 2% of the world population (including in the Arctic and remote Pacific) over its 3-year run from 1918-1920, a timeframe that shows that the coronavirus could be far from peaking.

‘The flu kills more people / kills at same rate.’ The common flu has a death rate of 0.1%. Based on statistics, coronavirus-19 seems to have a death rate of around 2%, 20 times higher, and seems to be highly infectious. Though according to some reports at least, entire families have died, which seems to defy the claimed 2% rate.

‘You can’t do anything about it.’ Maybe not, maybe so. You could avoid going out in public for a few weeks or months if necessary, or minimize doing so. By then, it’s possible a cure or treatment plan would exist, or at the very least, the true nature of the virus would be understood. Supermarkets only carry 3 days of food for the local population, but most people have the money to buy three months worth of food right now, and if you shop at the right stores and buy cheap calories (rice/beans/legumes), you can do so for around $60 per person. If the virus spread to the point where a percentage of people stopped working, supermarkets might not get resupplied nearly as much as needed.

Beyond the terrible consequences of another ‘conventional’ viral pandemic like the Spanish Flu, my main concern with the coronavirus is that it is a bioweapon that could cause delayed death for those in good health who don’t succumb immediately. This may not be the case, but it seems possible. The virus appears to be manmade, it contains several unnatural HIV proteins not found in another coronavirae, and AIDS drugs have been reported to be highly effective against it. [There are a camp of people who allege, apparently with some credibility, that HIV is misunderstood, is not deadly, and may not even exist as a single virus, and that AIDS deaths are primarily caused by the harsh HIV treatments (akin to cancer and often highly destructive chemotherapy). I haven’t looked into these claims much, but assuming they’re false and HIV is what they say it is], it’s possible that an HIV-coronavirus hybrid could trigger chronic immuno-deficiency, leaving one vulnerable to death from flu or pneumonia once an AIDS-like syndrome manifests in the months or years after initial infection. If that’s the case it might be next to impossible to avoid contracting it long-term, and for the ordinary person it would be more a case of rolling with the punches than dodging a bullet. Of course, even if it was made as a weapon, it may not have any long-term effects like AIDs and may be designed, like most weapons, to administer societal and economic shock over a limited time period. From my limited knowledge, my guess is that the virus, if manmade, was not a ready-to-use weapon that was released by accident, but for better or worse was an experimental strain and may have been destined primarily for study, whether for weapons use or legitimate medical purposes.

My position on how to respond to the coronavirus would be to be prepared not just for a disease outbreak but for the wide range of events that could disrupt supply chains and require self-sufficiency, including a war, economic catastrophe, etc.. There is still likely a window of time in which to do this, if just a small one; a prior post details ways you can achieve a basic degree of preparedness for as little as $50-100; you don’t need to relocate to Idaho and become a lifestyle prepper. At that point, people can watch, wait, and respond as they see fit, not fall into a panic or be forced into regrettable situations in order to keep their basic needs met. If the crisis is overblown and fades into the background like most viral outbreaks have, you will be very slightly poorer but [somewhat/probably] prepared for whatever else may come down the pike.

It’s hard to imagine an effective strategy for something as insidious as an airborne virus, especially given the long incubation period. Hunkering down and riding it out unscathed might be unlikely or impossible for anyone who lives remotely close to a city of any size and is not 100.0% self-sufficient. Preparations such as food, masks, and antiseptic supplies might allow one to avoid infection for enough time to gain knowledge about the nature of the virus and plan a next move. If a pandemic were serious enough, it’s also possible supply chains would be disrupted and food would run out for a time, leaving people to starve or become reliant on government distribution centers or relocate to Katrina-like aid camps, which would all but guarantee infection and severely impact lives. Most deaths from the Spanish Flu occurred at government medical camps, where ‘superbugs’ spread.

Tip for readers: if you want to get a N95 / P100 mask and have noted that Amazon and big box stores are sold out and Ebay prices are sky-high and climbing, check out an industrial or contractor supply store (in person, not online). They may have pallets of them for sale at affordable prices, but few think to go there; many of these stores have little or no online presence, or if they do, few non-business-people visit their websites.

1/31/20- Bioweapons Are Why We Need Decentralization

Interesting article from Zero Hedge, who perhaps not coincidentally was banned from Twitter today for ‘violating community standards.’ It suggests the disturbing premise that the corona virus may basically be a bioengineered, airborne version of HIV, and that the reported ‘fish market’ origin is a BS cover story.

Wussy internet commentators who have shared this article have at the same time been falling all over themselves and frantically denying they’re conspiracy theorists. However, we still know these three things: A) governments create bioweapons, including deadly viruses; B) governments routinely kill people on purpose, and C) governments make mistakes that cause deaths. Additionally, governments routinely kill and cause deaths covertly to make it look like their rivals did it. Therefore, supposing it to be a bioweapon, given enough evidence, is entirely reasonable, as is freely exploring that idea without yet having any evidence: no ‘I’m not a conspiracy theorist’ disclaimer necessary.

Hopefully this isn’t manmade (though evidence indicates it is), and hopefully it will peter out like all high-death-toll viruses of the past have. Regardless, things like this are why I beat the drum not mainly in support of one political system or another, but in support of decentralization and local self-determination. Only monstrously large nation-states are involved in these kinds of monstrous activities, because of the dose-dependent corrupting nature of power (yes, there are tin-pot dictators who might individually be more corrupt than individuals in our leadership – though probably not, just more public about it – but the small nations they hold the reigns of are relatively powerless).

That is why everyone the world over has a duty to do anything they can, politically and otherwise, within the bounds of his or her morality and ethics of course, to undermine and thwart the centralization of power. Small countries, small groups, and lower levels of government generally don’t do supremely nefarious things like weaponizing viruses, and it’s no coincidence: it’s because world domination is so out of reach for them, they don’t even consider disgusting methods like bioweapons for achieving that impossible aim.

1/26/20 – Recommended video on the nutritional basics to fight cancer, heart disease, and diabetes

Among the legion of nutritional voices out there, I consider Joel Fuhrman to be the single best, at least for the ‘layman’ who doesn’t want to spend a huge amount of time on the subject. Fuhrman stays on target and delivers the most useful information with the least number of words and contradictions possible. Other commentators will tout every one of the hundreds of tips and tricks that come down the pike, and while many are valid and can be helpful, the deluge of information can disorient readers and cause them to abandon or neglect the basics as they pursue miracle superfood after miracle superfood. I’m not a vegan and neither is Fuhrman (though he is heavily plant-centric), but this video (toddler’s-TV-show jingle aside) packs a wealth of good advice in a few short minutes.

Key points: Put a special focus on Brassica and Allium vegetables both raw and cooked, eat nuts and seeds daily including large amounts that may reach 25-35% of calories, pair nuts and seeds with green salads (the operative principles being to combine carotenes and other fat-soluble vitamins with healthy whole-food fats in order to optimize absorption; and not to combine sugar or high-glycemic carbs with protein and fats, especially animal; or if you do, max out the antioxidants and fiber of the meal), including by mixing seeds into a liquid dressing; eat beans and/or legumes daily to keep fiber intake high, be sure to include mushrooms (which are an entire kingdom of the natural world) in the diet.

1/11/20- ‘College students’ chant ‘death to liars’ after Iran reveals truth; smells like a CIA op

So after just a day or two delay, Iran owns up to its mistake and tells the truth about the plane that was downed in Tehran, a clever move that stands in contrast to the US and UK, whose misdeeds often take a century or longer to see the light of day. And in response to the timely revelation, ‘hundreds of college students’ hit the city’s streets to protest the government, chanting ‘death to liars;’ the Western media was all over the story as expected. I’m no particular fan of the Iranian government, but this – like many events in conflict zones involving ‘students,’ ‘aid groups,’ and ‘non-profits’ – has CIA written all over it. And who knows, maybe the shoot-down itself was a false-flag attempt by a foreign actor that Iran short-circuited by taking the blame. If so, chalk up yet another L for Western intel, with six or seven major false flag incidents botched in the last few years.

1/7/20- There Is Nothing We Need Less Than Another Draw or Defeat in Another Pointless War

The US government is already fighting wars in half a dozen or more countries, including 19 and 17 years and counting in Afghanistan and Iraq. We spend $750 billion a year and still can’t beat 1970s Toyota trucks and 1950s AK-47s, just like we couldn’t oust the ragtag Vietcong after 20 years. We laid Libya to waste by air and promptly handed it over to Al Qaeda on the ground, and we’ve staged failed false flag after false flag trying to expand the war in Syria. 1,000 vets a year commit suicide, many because they know they fought for a lie, many times more than that are close to the brink, and nearly 50,000 despairing Americans die every year from opioid overdoses. I’m not a high-speed rail proponent (since very little of our country is designed for it), but many airports and trains look like they did in the 80s, many highways are full of patchwork repairs, and the difference between us and ‘developing’ and even ‘Third World’ nations is decreasingly apparent. Jobs increasingly consist of low-skill, low-wage retail and shipping, and ‘gigs’ to service the highest earners (and well-heeled senior citizens in failing health) by driving them around, buying their groceries, chopping their food for them, and whatever else will be next. Personal service, medical service, government employment, and ‘defense’ are secondary sectors and not an economic foundation: while they’re needed, no foreign country is interested in buying any of those. All our future investment needs to happen here, especially as other nations catch up with us. There is nothing I can think of that this country needs less than another drawn-out defeat in another pointless, fruitless war.

As usual, if one is able to ignore the media noise and political bluster, asking cui bono and following the money will tell you who’s behind the gravely misguided war on Iran. The first three I’d consider a tie, since they each stand to gain a couple hundred billion a year from our staying stuck in foreign quagmires:

1) Military-industrial complex. Private contractors probably end up with at least half the ever more bloated defense budget.

2) Western banks and bondholding funds. They currently collect $479B/yr in interest, which could’ve been completely avoided had we had a sensible foreign policy that actually provided national defense, and the bigger the deficit the greater the interest payments. Of course, as explained below, the debt has to be taken on by either the public or private sector, or America gets foreclosed. Blowing holes in the ground overseas is just the most sure-fire way to keep the debt churning and rip off the American government at the highest possible margins.

3) Saudi Arabia and the oil kingdoms. By having the US destabilize the region and compromise other oil nations (Syria, Iran, Russia, Venezuela, etc.), supplies are kept lower or more precarious and prices kept higher, leaving them as the world’s most stable and accessible, number-one oil bloc.

4) Trump. A war distracts from his impeachment, and distracts the public from an economic run that must lose some gas imminently. His debt-addicted ‘greatest economy’ is in reality 80-90% hot air, deficits, and here-today-gone-tomorrow ‘consumer confidence,’ and 10-20% real growth.

By no means is this some piercing, novel analysis, since the first three have been the beneficiaries of imperialist foreign policy in the Middle East for decades. That’s the problem though: our foreign policy – throw our weight around in endless wars, stage false flags, threaten to ‘liberate’ any country that stops using the US dollar – has become so brazen, so predictable and tiresome, that a fourth or fifth grader could figure it out.

I didn’t include Israel for a few reasons. Obviously, there are many right-wingers in Israel who are cheering on this conflict. But if you follow the money, the $3B in Israeli aid constitutes 0.2% of war-related expenditures ($750B ‘defense’ + $150B security theater/’intelligence’ + $400B interest, mostly resulting from war] and is a tiny cost of doing business. 99.8% ends up in the hands of non-Israeli-resident parties, both Christians and Jews. While it has a decent domestic economy, Israel’s value to the West is and always has been chiefly as a geopolitical tool. It was created as a handy reason for the West to stay involved in the East and keep the trillion per year eternally flowing.

1/4/20- The US Has Officially Joined Israel in Its Unilateral War on Iran, and No One Else Will Follow

Iran didn’t attack the Baghdad embassy, and an ‘Iran-backed militia’ didn’t either. Rather, as universally reported, ‘supporters’ of an allegedly Iran-backed militia protested and set some fires. Nobody died, nobody was injured. I’m a broken record on this, but Iran hasn’t attacked another country since the mid 1700s, so they’ve never attacked us; we’ve overthrown their government, openly funded a devastating war against them that killed a million of their citizens, surrounded their nation with military bases, staged false flag events (along with Israel and Saudi Arabia) to blame them, and greatly harmed their economy with sanctions. Only a wildly deluded (or deeply uninformed) person could know this and still imagine Iran to be the aggressor and the grave, out of control threat, and the US as the magnanimous defender.

There are ‘US-backed militias’ all over the planet: ISIS and Al Qaeda are two you may know. According to Trump’s ethical calculus, for whatever coherence it has, members of the US military, Congress, and Trump himself – putting aside the US citizen civilians who may be endangered – are now deathly liable for the actions of ‘supporters’ of those groups and any other group in the world that is claimed to be backed by the US, most of which Trump likely can’t even name; not that the US government hasn’t already made enough mortal enemies through its own misdeeds.

If it’s true that Iran is behind the militia, should we be remotely surprised that they’re keeping a hand in the reconstruction of Iraq, their neighbor, in light of the two nations’ recent past? Throughout the 1980s, Iran had to deal with a ground invasion by Iraq’s US-puppet dictator, Saddam Hussein, who used US-provided chemical WMDs against Iran and openly received other military support from the US. The war took more than a million lives on the Iranian side. I’d never try to cast the Iranian government, or Russian, Syrian, etc. as pure and perfectly moral, not by any stretch, and they clearly have their own, more local imperial ambitions, but Iran’s relative right to exert influence on the affairs of Iraq is immeasurably higher than our own.

Israel has for years been engaged in outright acts of war against Iran, carrying out airstrikes, assassinating its politicians and scientists, sabotaging its infrastructure. The Likud-party hardliners in Israel and mostly Republican Christian Zionists in America insist that Muslims are evil and have it out for Jews, but the two co-existed for thousands of years, and co-exist today in all Middle Eastern nations, including Israel and Iran. They haven’t been ‘at each others’ throats for eternity,’ thats a lie; prior to Western meddling, the region was more peaceful than most places on Earth for over 1,000 years. Like people everywhere, the overwhelming majority of Middle Eastern Muslims and Israeli Jews just want to enjoy life and live in peace, and have no desire for war. Only propagandized and/or untraveled people believe otherwise. The reason some Middle Easterners want the Israeli regime, not all Jews or all Israeli Jews, gone is because they know that that regime’s continued existence comes with US and Western destruction and destabilization of the region, and Iran in particular. Israel like other nations certainly ‘has a right to defend itself,’ but no one has an obligation to defend them unconditionally. If the Israeli government plows ahead with its ostensibly pre-emptive, aggressive strategy, that isn’t what the US government (let alone the American people) signed up for, and the US should drop its support and let Israel fend for itself, which it likely can. (I’ve stated my position on Israel and Zionism in posts below: the property claim expired 18-19 centuries ago, but there is an argument for a ‘homeland’ territory, and Israel’s conquest of Palestine could be recognized on the same basis that the tens or hundreds of thousands of other territorial conquests have.)

Of course I don’t expect that at all, since the primary reason Israel was sponsored by the West after WWII was to shake up the Middle East and in so doing, preserve US and Western geopolitical relevance. Again, broken record, but when war is obviously and perhaps imminently on the agenda, something needs to be said, anywhere and everywhere it can be said.

12/30/19- The Complete Unlikelihood of Real Aliens, and Total Farce of Space Colonization

While it’s been a major pop-cultural theme for my entire life, I’m not sure we’ve been bombarded with talk of UFOs, aliens, and space colonization more than over the past couple years. The space aliens idea might be said to have originated in H.G. Wells’ 1897 book War of the Worlds, the basis for the Orson Welles radio hoax in 1938. A few years after Wells’ book, Rhodes’ globalist Round Table movement began, then the League of Nations after WWI. In the 1940s just after WWII the UN was formed, globalist aspirations for total control began to fully took hold, and the EU was formed a years later. During that early-to-mid 20th century time period, the fairly obvious idea of fabricating an external threat to rally the world population around a world government came to the notice of the power elite. Since then, alleged alien sightings per year have skyrocketed, with average UFO sightings per year rising 281x (UFOs as aircraft were totally unheard of prior to the advent of human flight, without a single sighting of artificial craft prior to that point, another impossible coincidence; all reported sky sightings before that time (link) were instead of vividly described airborne watercraft, light/sound phenomena, religious symbols, or deities), overwhelmingly in the US and other core NATO nations, as discussed in Fake Aliens and Other Potential Endgames (if you don’t have time to read it, James Corbett has done a good treatment of the subject in How to Fake an Alien Invasion).

What are the chances that space aliens with any conceivable civilizational start date, who might be millennia ahead of us technologically, would have a hundreds-fold greater interest in visiting our planet at precisely the same moment that such a visit would advance globalist objectives, and was publicly wished for on many occasions? All but zero; zero, insofar as one can claim to be sure of anything. What are the odds that the rise has been manufactured by man for political and social purposes? All but 100%. The manmade UFO trend has consisted of:

A) Real sightings of government and classified craft that are mistaken for ET craft
B) Faked sightings by government operatives and attention-hungry citizens
C) Mistaken sightings by citizens with wild imaginations, fueled by decades of pop-cultural alien obsession.

To repeat, in case the underlining and bold text weren’t enough, over the 10,000 or so years of the latest chapter of our history aka recorded history (prior to which I believe it’s very likely humans or co-terrestrial intelligent beings did have aircraft or flight of some kind; the body of evidence that supports this (Nazca lines, Titicaca shape/naming, etc.) is the grounds for many ‘ancient alien’ theories, which are now obsolete since they fail to account for vast evidence of a cataclysmic, near-extinction event in the past that reset human civilization; the theories are also incomplete since they refuse to consider any divine or extra-dimensional factors, at the same time making unfounded claims about outer-space aliens, a fiction that no one has ever witnessed or knows anything whatsoever about), aside from the unverifiable Tulli Papyrus document which originated in a magazine in the 1950s, no human being is documented having witnessed an unidentified aircraft / spacecraft / flying machine – – until the Foo Fighter sightings of 1944-45, about 30 years after the point when humans built high-altitude flying machines, followed by a deluge of sightings from the late 1940s to present. From this alone one can firmly conclude that all artificial-craft UFOs are overwhelmingly likely to be of human, terrestrial origin.

Moving on, the Moon landing was faked, which we know from evidence including but not limited to the following:

A) The original Moon landing footage, which surely showed signs of manipulation, was allegedly taped over to save a couple hundred dollars worth of film. This was the culmination of a $200 billion project.
B) The Saturn rocket plans were allegedly lost. Again, the results of a $200 billion project. NASA admits we ‘lost the ability to go back.’
C) All Moon rocks have either been ‘lost,’ proven fake [e.g. were meteorites from Antarctica in one case, petrified wood in another], or ‘stolen.’ The only remaining ‘real’ rocks are under glass at NASA and unavailable for inspection.
D) They never could have passed obstacles like the alleged Van Allen belt. The spacesuits were grossly inadequate.
E) We haven’t been ‘back’ in 50 years, and neither has anyone else, nor has anyone else even tried, or until recently even talked about trying.
F) Substantial evidence points to Kubrick as the director. The Shining contains several glaring clues (example: Danny, who is wearing an Apollo 11 sweater, abandons his interest in earthly activities symbolized in his cars and trucks and stands from a crouch on a rocket-pad like carpet tile, then walks to the forbidden Room 237 [which Kubrick changed from 217 in the Stephen King book, and where the Moon is said to be 237k miles away], where the hotel’s [/Kubrick’s] darkest secrets are kept; Danny and his 237 exploration, like the Apollo project, are Jack’s [Kubrick’s] ‘baby’ and initially results in euphoria under a Moon-like light fixture, yet ends in shame and disgust [see also] [see also 2]; the aquatic theme of the soundtrack and the room also seem noteworthy), and Kubrick insisted his last film aptly titled Eyes Wide Shut be released on the 30th anniversary of the first Apollo launch, 7/16/1969/1999. Odds of both the anniversary match and The Shining clues being coincidences? Zero.

Only one or two of these would be enough, but that all six obtain absolutely cements the case it was faked. Given the mounting evidence of space-related fakery, we can toss out any fantastical claims that Mars, which is allegedly 138,000x farther than the Moon is said to be (where the Moon is allegedly about 10,000x farther than the highest real space flight of about 24 miles altitude) has ever been reached. Like NASA’s Moon is the Arizona desert, its Mars is a short airplane flight away in Devon Island Canada, where its Mars ‘simulations’ [cast as reality] are performed.

The War of the Worlds hoax was in 1938, the first UFO sighting as space- or aircraft was in 1944, the UN was founded in 1945, NASA was founded in 1958, the fake Moon landings occurred in 1969, and figures such as Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, and Paul Krugman pined for an alien invasion to unite humanity in the 1980s, 90s, 00s, and 2010s. In an allegedly 4 billion year-old planet, allegedly 2 million years of human history, and 10,000 years of recorded history, that all this would perfectly align with the technological arc of a far-off alien civilization is completely preposterous. Aliens are a Pentagon-NASA-Hollywood con writ extremely large, which long ago took on a life of its own.

Based on the above, if confronted with a strange sky event, especially if reported to me by someone else, depending on its nature of course, I would assume an order of likelihood that:

1) It is an elaborate hoax staged by the shadow government with the involvement classified technology, meant to shock and awe the population into acceptance of world government;

2) It is a divine or extra-dimensional event, involving God or sub-God metaphysical or supernatural beings from in on above or in the general vicinity of Earth, including malevolent beings, who might in some cases technically be called alien;

3) At a distant third, that it is a real ‘outer-space’ alien event (assuming there is a distant, outer space as conventionally understood).

————————————

But even were one to ignore or be unaware of all this context, one could be sure space colonization is a farce on the basis of a few spurts of common sense.

If we were really worried about overpopulation (a myth, where population is set to precipitously decline in about 30 years) and pollution, why spend trillions creating space colonies or orbiting cities? By going deep under the ground, under the sea, on the sea, and/or in the totally unoccupied Arctic and Antarctic regions and packing portions of its population into eco-friendly city-pods there (if the establishment does not already secretly have something like this for its own security), mankind could guarantee its security from and resilience against anything that we have any chance of recovering from, and get all the resources that asteroids or planets might offer (which, for example, in the case of ‘rare Earth’ minerals needed for electric power, are on the mostly unexplored sea floor in great abundance) – for a tiny fraction of the cost, surely less than 1% of an ‘interplanetary’ strategy, with no real obstacles or unknowns, and no ridiculous multi-year transit times.

But clearly, the establishment isn’t interested in practical solutions for humanity. What they are interested in is propaganda to dazzle and distract the public as a means to enhance their own power, at the expense of everyone else.

12/25/19- Shadow-Gov Migrant Caravans, Yellow Vests, Trump, Bernie: All Roads Lead Back to Debt Money

Almost all the major political and social trends of the last few years share a common cause that few acknowledge: privately issued, debt-based currency, which has been instituted just about everywhere by now, as the handful of holdouts to Western financial imperialism, for all their faults, have become ‘liberated’ i.e. Empire-compliant one by one over the preceding decades.

Mass immigration and the economic, political, and social changes that result is surely one of the biggest of these trends and fault lines, and maybe number one. The ‘deep state,’ shadow government,’ whatever term one uses, wants migrants for two reasons: A) a heterogeneous, diverse society is unfortunately easier to control (a truth that has been seized on by white nationalists) since there is less real and/or perceived overlap in perspective and interests and people look to the state rather than their fellow man for an ally, but perhaps more importantly that B) debt money requires perpetual growth, or total foreclosure must result. As Western birth rates drop, ‘new blood’ is needed to generate a surplus of output, or the economy will deflate and collapse into the hands of the money creators: the owners and creators of the interest-bearing debt that is all money – banks and funds, principally, along with ultra-wealthy individuals and families – will go from skimming the cream to drinking the milk. (I’m no enemy of diversity, but for a diverse political body to have the best chance of working, its scale needs to be small so that all the people can know and appreciate each other and their many commonalities.)

This is why the shadow government is obviously sponsoring migrant mass influx, and why politicians like Trump have been able to capitalize on the resulting anti-migrant sentiments and get into power. Yet few supporters of Trump and his ilk seem to realize that unless the money system is reformed or non-immigrants have many more children, the need for migrants and the bemoaned inability to ‘take back America’ will persist. You can’t close the borders and have flat or declining population levels, and also have debt-based money (least of all when you have a rapidly aging/retiring populace); the result would be gradual bank foreclosure of the entire society. The Fed and the financial establishment obviously wouldn’t want that, since they don’t want to manage real estate and have to do any actual work. What they want is to maintain control, but also maintain the illusion of a free-market economy, so that morale stays high and people continue working and servicing private and public debts via loan payments (mainly mortgages, and rents that pay mortgages) and taxes.

In countries like France and Italy, there aren’t enough migrants to fill the monetary void that is left when public and private debts are repaid (i.e. when money makes it way back to its bank creators; the money can then be relent into the system, but that does not fill the void, since the interest due on it doesn’t yet exist, and must derive from principal on new, never-before-circulated debt). Birth rates are dropping, the economy is more or less flat in many Western countries (especially those that don’t have ‘not QE’ aka QE4 and $1T/yr+ in ‘debt injections’ [which should be an oxymoron but isn’t], a process that is often called ‘money printing’ and is misunderstood as a no-strings addition of dollars), but the banks and bondholders continue to suck away their debt-service cut, leading to scarcity or ‘austerity’ and political and social tensions. Scandinavia has resorted to negative interest rates, to flooding the population with new money in order to counter this trend. In the US, rising inequality and falling agency or mobility, and the resulting indignation has led to the rise of politicians like Warren and Bernie, who campaign on the amelioration of these ills by means of wealth redistribution (yet their anti-business policies will just result in capital flight and a smaller economic pie to tax, and with an increasingly old population, far too many takers and too few makers, at the risk of sounding ‘producerist’). Neither side identifies the money system as a primary cause behind these major political platform issues.

As for another major political issue, environmental protection, no single factor is worse for the environment than the absolute requirement for perpetual economic and population growth that a debt-based currency saddles us with.

Some want to just blame ‘capitalism’ instead, and it’s a critique worth considering for a moment. I’m not a Marxist, though Marx was on target to an extent in his embrace of economic determinism, where the economic ‘superstructure’ sets the tone for society and molds individuals to some degree. But is it really free-market economics and free exchange that are behind all these ills? No, not really, since that’s not what we have; what we have is privatized central planning and privatized imperialism (or more accurately, privatized mercantilism, where the money creating-banks and their vassal corporations constitute the mother nation that must be fed at any cost, and the people are just ‘human resources’ meant to be exploited to achieve this task) by banks and others who have access to the cheapest money from the Fed (governments, the largest corporations). Debt-money control works whether a society has an enormous or small government, since public and private debts get repaid just the same – whether directly or via taxes (though the financial establishment strongly prefers large, centralized governments since they can better ensure their stranglehold is kept in place). The culprits are primarily greed for power, and power’s corrupting, rotting nature, which led the moneyed interests who controlled the banks to take control of government, which allowed the banks to create debt money, and then take control of everything.

This power dynamic is why socialism – everywhere it has been practiced except anomalous Scandinavia, whose model is itself proving unsustainable after just a few decades – always ends up in a similar condition, only one that’s much more severe due to the disincentivization and inefficiencies of socialist economies: palaces and obscene riches for the corrupt power-holders, and maximum poverty and minimum agency for the masses.

So it’s the centralization of power – not socialism, capitalism, and everything in between, which have all worked well enough on a small scale – that’s the principal problem. And nothing in history has centralized human power more than the institution of privately created debt money. One could argue that eliminating money altogether might help solve the problem of alienation of power from the people, but that would be a massive adjustment that is not currently part of the conversation for the right or the left, and unless power is also decentralized, feudalistic exploitation of the people will continue.

In The Myth of Inevitable Cashlessness I also make the case that the debt-creating financial establishment is the primary force behind the contrived ‘War on Terror’ and staged events like 9/11, where terrorism is just a temporary excuse to institute total financial surveillance and ensure that debt-harvesting becomes as entrenched and efficient as possible. If you’re not up to speed on the workings of debt-based money, you’ll continue to be in the dark, frustrated, and an easy target for political and social manipulation. Renaissance 2.0 (whose viewcount has been frozen by YouTube for 4-5 years now) and Debunking Money are the best explanations of it I’ve come across.

12/12/19- As the ‘Truth-Optional Society’ Festers: on the Impeachment Circus, Censorship

Anyone who’s being honest with him or herself knows that deeply corrupt Joe Biden extorted Ukraine for $1 billion to fire the prosecutor who was investigating his no-credentials son and his ill-gotten wealth. This glaringly obvious fact is known by the media as a ‘debunked conspiracy theory.’ And any honest person also knows that Trump, for whatever highly dubious interest he had in cleaning up Ukrainian politics, wanted to see Biden taken out to improve his 2020 political odds; though at this point the bumbling Biden doesn’t present as much of a threat. (It must be noted that Biden bragged about committing a crime in Ukraine on videotape, and Trump merely made note of this to Zelensky: so the proven criminal is supposed to become our next President, while Trump, who is the real ‘Ukraine whistleblower,’ whatever his ulterior motives were, is to be charged with a crime and removed? Absurd, but par for the course.) Unfortunately, our society (or at least the media discourse / propaganda stream that many identify with, and mistake for society) has become defined not by fair-minded critical analysis but by unconditional, often blind allegiance to political party, so many either don’t know these things, or they do know and publicly deny it.

I don’t particularly like Trump and have extremely limited / close to no belief in his ‘winning’/’deals’ narrative, but I don’t want to give his opponents the satisfaction for a few reasons. The first is that were Obama or whichever other Democratic politician to have committed some similar or much worse violation – and Obama and his administration did in many instances – we all know that nearly every one of the Trump impeachers would be [and was then] silent at best, and fiercely defend the Democrat at worst, with little regard for the merits of the accusations. And if Trump were removed, we would simply revert to the shadow-government rule of the last 100+ years (many of the elements of which continue to be in place under Trump). Were impeachment actually about respecting the Constitution (cue Pelosi and Nadler in three-corner hats lecturing us about the Founders’ intentions for the hundredth time this week) and thereby restoring our political integrity, I’d support it. But it’s not remotely about that and never was. Our political integrity has been on the skids since we signed our economy over to the banks in 1913, our foreign policy over to the military-industrial complex, and our media over to the CIA. So let’s be real: for the overwhelming majority of people, strong, decisive support for impeachment is about promoting two things, and two things only: the pre-Trump status quo (which isn’t considerably different than the current one, hence the term circus), and/or Democratic party interests, depending on which Democratic politician is hoped to benefit (i.e. a centrist or a Progressive).

Unless it happens to align with partisan political goals, as it does in this case, there’s no serious concern for the Constitution or rule of law from the large majority of strongly-pro-impeachment Democrats (or from most Republicans when ‘their side’ violates it) – who made not a peep as Obama entered into 6-7 illegal wars, renewed the Patriot Act, allowed wiretapping of the entire population, detained and killed American citizens without charges or trial, assassinated thousands of foreigners based on AI-processed data with no human input, allowed the Fed chair to hand trillions to banks and corporations, and soon afterwards himself took several mid-6-figure bribes from the same banks ostensibly for 30-minute speeches; among many other eminently high crimes and misdeeds – and who pine for a return to Obama and rue war criminal Hillary’s loss to this very day. Wake me up when you ditch the false left-right paradigm and drop your double standards.

Regarding the fake shootings and bombings, false-flag, war-trigger events, and other forms of manipulation often discussed here – i.e., the primary means used in our democratic world to effect desired outcomes without having popular support for them – they have surely continued, but the online discourse around these events is dead. It would be more than a full-time job to single-handedly study and prove these incidents to be the engineered events many of them are. Previously, this work was undertaken by hundreds of perceptive researchers, who would each put forth one or two pieces of evidence. The platforms used to broadcast these kinds of findings – namely YouTube (which with its ‘commercial viability’ clause has basically become the new TV) and Google- have been sanitized by an establishment who is afraid of critical inquiry, and the voices that had been dissenting to the media narrative have been gradually silenced one-by-one, down to zero today. Silicon Valley, often touted as a spunky counterculture and leading edge, has shown itself to be a corporate borg that is deeply in bed with government and, at the end of day, loyal only to money; any fresh, revolutionary spirit that was once fostered there has been extinguished. As for where ‘truthers’ go from here, I encourage people to voice their thoughts in person, on the street at real-world events, and on whatever free online platforms remain available, as the censored and controlled segments of the discourse rot and eventually become irrelevant, as they inevitably do wherever censorship reigns.

10/14/19- Thoughts on ‘Wokeness,’ ‘Social Justice,’ and Columbus Day

In a previous post found further down the page, “Christopher Columbus: Another One for the Fake History Bin,” I made a brief case that Christopher Columbus either did not exist at all and was a composite, lightning-rod character meant to distract from his dozens of explorer and conquistador contemporaries, or was a real explorer who was born by another name. With the state of information transmission as it was at that time, the Spanish Crown and Vatican, who published Columbus’s letters, had carte blanche to tell the world whatever they wanted about Europe’s first major contact with the Americas, about who the man was and what he saw. Given that in April 1493, the same month Columbus’s letters were published, the Church sanctioned the destruction and conversion of all American civilizations by powers like Spain, France, and Portugal, the assumption that Columbus’s reports (allegedly received from him by Spain’s finance minister) are fully accurate and fair, putting aside questions around the figure himself, is far from a sound one.

Undoubtedly, ‘Columbus’ and European explorers more broadly made an immense impact on the Americas – politically, socially, culturally, architecturally, etc. – and rebuilt it in large part in European form. Yes, indigenous Americans (both black and non-black) made an influence then and now, and yes, non-European immigrants and African slaves and their descendants have as well, but centuries of primary European influence still occurred. Whether European colonization was good for Europe, for the Americas, and for the world or not is a debatable point. Whatever the answer, though, another question stands: should only events of positive impact be celebrated, or merely those of impact, whether good, bad, or mixed? It would be fair to say that when I was a kid, Columbus was celebrated as a hero, in a similar way to George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. I don’t know whether that holds today, and perhaps in recent decades this treatment has shifted more to recognition of the person and his exploits than their celebration.

As is often the case in our dualistic sociopolitical discourse, two fundamentally incorrect, simplistic, and partisan camps guided by false histories have come to dominate the conversation around Columbus and his holiday. One says he was a ruthless murderer, that the American societies he helped destroy were peaceful, more advanced than once thought, even paradisiacal, and that warlike, greedy Europeans ruined it all. The other camp ridicules this group as overly PC, ‘woke,’ or as ‘SJWs,’ and falsely claims that aside from the Aztecs, there was little to no society here, only a sparse nomadic population, and that Columbus did the Americas and the world a favor by settling here.

With respect to the first camp, yes, pre-Columbian societies were advanced. In Mexico and Central America, they built bustling metropolises and had complex cultures and social systems. Many had advanced legal systems that in some cases were adjudicated in multi-faceted judiciaries, with commercial courts, civil courts, and criminal courts. The Iroquois of today’s Northeast US had a constitution that helped inspire our own. Much of the continental US – including the Southeast, mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, were populated primarily by sedentary groups who were interconnected by roads, farmed large-scale agricultural complexes, built large cities with 5- and 6-figure populations, and traded deeply into Latin America. Similar societies existed in Peru, Brazil, and the Caribbean – not just in Mexico. Upon contact with European powers, inhabitants of these agro-urban civilizations were enslaved en masse and de-tribalized as ‘negroes,’ and the scale of the African slave trade was heavily exaggerated to cover it up. Co-existing with these large, millions-strong, sedentary societies were nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes who today carry the ‘Native American’ mantle. For all their accomplishments, though, these pre-Columbian peoples also appear to have gone to war with each other, enslaved each other, and committed genocide and other atrocities against each other, a fact ignored by the main anti-Columbus camp.

Europeans, while not necessarily more advanced overall, had a martial advantage and conquered the Americas, but there was no utopia before that point, and peace did not always obtain. The Inca civilization began just prior to Columbus and displaced numerous pre-Inca groups. The Aztecs and Mayans took over from the Teotihuacano and Olmecs. Some Arabs have co-opted the legacy of the original Egyptians. Celts and other Asia-derived Caucasian groups conquered or absorbed the pre-Indo populations of Europe, Bantus vanquished the San and other extinct African groups, Tungusic people like the Manchu slowly infiltrated the original Chinese and to a partial extent Southeast Asians over multiple millennia. History is full of migrations and conquest, enslavement, genocide, and intentional and unintentional extinction. While Europeans may be currently leading the pack in terms of scale of death and destruction, they weren’t always, and these things are by no means uniquely European practices. And few would deny that alongside the negative there have been many positive results from their presence in and ‘discovery’ of the Americas.

My stance on the holiday debate and similar themes is this: let’s continue to recognize that European contact with the Americas was a moment of great historical impact, one that should not be wholeheartedly celebrated or absolutely rued. Portrayal of Columbus as a swashbuckling, pure-intentioned hero should end, but so should idealization of indigenous American culture and the pre-Columbian era. Instead of burying figures and events that some find uncomfortable or offensive, let’s try to learn the full and unadulterated truth about our histories, including from period literary works that contain offensive terms like the ‘N word,’ which have been banned in many schools. Let’s not lie to help our causes, by denigrating or dismissing the pre-Columbian societies that were here as worthless, backwards, or even non-existent, in an attempt to apologize for and purify our European ancestors; or mock the pursuit of truth or the correction or amelioration of historical wrongs.

9/18/19- Swiss Cantons Shut Down Aggressive 5G Rollout (link)

Switzerland once again illustrates the importance of direct democracy, electoral integrity, and above all, the decentralization of power. 5G’s safety is far from established, and more study is needed. Faster internet, hurried in at the point of a gun, for the sake of more smart/spy devices and slightly better video streaming, is not worth an early cancer diagnosis. Other nations will get steamrolled on the issue as their corrupt, unaccountable, centralized rulership ignores the people and gives 5G the instant green light.

As for direct voting vs. representative government, the latter is fine: as long as accountability is an arm’s length or door knock/bust away, as it essentially is in a small handful of nations (e.g. Iceland). Beyond that scale it is and will always be a sham.

9/10/19- Lull in Activity, Comment on 9/11 (Still No [Passenger] Planes, No Hijackers, No Muslims)

The last few months I’ve been spending more time on reading/watching than writing, hence the drop in activity. I’ll be adding more posts in the coming weeks, albeit probably not daily.

With regards to 9/11 and its anniversary, I recommend reading The Case for No Planes if you are not yet up to speed on the evidence. The post puts forth a preponderance of proof that the [non-existent, CGI] planes and [fabricated] hijackers (link; see also post) we’ll hear about tomorrow, and the Taliban we’ve heard much about this week, played no real role at all in the attacks, which, as crazy as it may or may not sound, were carried out by means of computer-generated images broadcast on TV, in conjunction with the internal explosives (likely along with more exotic, classified weaponry e.g. large-scale directed energy; see post) that destroyed the buildings and remote-guided missiles or drone aircraft that may have simulated a jetliner impact to bystanders. Known as the ‘no-plane theory,’ this conspiracy reality requires deep complicity in the event, to the point of actual orchestration, by elements of Western media and intelligence (whether rogue or official). (None of the core perpetrators appear to have been Muslim.) Coming to terms with this premise – as increasing numbers have – is indispensable in understanding one of the greatest crimes in American history, as well as many other major US and world events before and since. Because this was amply proven years ago, I rarely talk about the event here nowadays, aside from this week of the year when the token retelling of the official tale airs all over the corporate news.

9/9/19- Fiber Consumption – Not Dietary Cholesterol – Appears to Be the #1 Determinant of Cholesterol Levels, and Perhaps Obstructive Heart Disease Risk

In past posts I’ve recommended a ‘high-fiber’ (or what I would term medium/normal fiber) diet as a guard against heart disease and diabetes, with an aim of 40 or more grams a day, about half from ‘super sources’ (legumes, and to a lesser extent seeds and nuts) and half from other sources (fruit, vegetables).

One reason was that most of the ‘blue-zone’ high-longevity cultures include considerable amounts of fiber-rich fruit and legumes in their diets. There’s also the ‘Hispanic paradox’ – where Hispanics, including Hispanic Americans, live 6-7 years longer than other groups – a fact that has long befuddled researchers. From my own observation, the diets of Hispanic immigrants, as a generalization, tend to be rather high in refined carbs, sugar, and oil, not much better than less-food-conscious native-born Americans, and maybe worse. Vegetable consumption is relatively low, deep-frying is frequent. The only pattern that I and others have identified as especially health-promoting – other than high physical activity and strong community – is a high fiber intake, specifically from beans.

I recently read a study that noted wild animals, human infants, and a variety of indigenous human groups all have total cholesterol levels ranging between 100 and 130 (link), with the median around 115. Yet among sedentary modern adults, the cholesterol of non-vegans rarely dips below 140, and most others are near or well over 200 (the adult average is 208, after widespread statin use). The indigenous groups cited eat a significant amount of animal foods and animal fats (none are vegan or vegetarian), usually daily, so how do they manage such low levels? Many reasons, surely, but a major factor has to be fiber, with most getting 40-80g of it each day. That the three groups above all have levels in this tight range seems to squash claims by ultra-high-fat advocates that a high cholesterol is actually optimal, and that cholesterol and triglyceride levels of 200 or 250+ are to be celebrated, or at least downplayed.

High-profile ‘plant-based’ commentators like Michael Greger and Dean Ornish (who I think have some good things to say and follow, but don’t fully agree with) have joined government agencies in warning against animal foods, cautioning an intake of just two [small] servings per week to keep cholesterol levels safe and avoid statins. Yet this appears unnecessary. My total cholesterol was recently tested at 116 (triglycerides 40), and I eat animal products in moderate portions twice a day most days, or around 14 times per week, usually meat or fish/seafood. Almost all other fats come from whole foods, mainly nuts and seeds. I don’t eat much dairy (occasional cheese) or many eggs (maybe a few a month on average), and minimize oil. When I eat animal foods, I always try to include sizeable amounts of fiber and antioxidants in the same meal, and often let legumes serve as the main carbohydrate, or one of them (e.g. chicken with lentils and broccoli; fish with beans and greens). I avoid grains aside from occasional rice, and usually opt for starchy tubers as a carb alternative to legumes. Aside from all that, I eat fruit regularly. Pretty much anything goes for social outings, etc., but I’m talking daily go-to meals. An outsider would see my diet as healthy but normal; there are few hyper-exotic ingredients and no attempt at hunter-gatherer imitation. Due to high nut and seed consumption, it certainly falls in the moderate, maybe even high-fat range, but blood lipids are very low, I believe also due to fiber. (Re: animal foods, I consider domestication and slaughter a necessary evil of agricultural civilization: if in the future I can become sure that I’m not meant to eat them and do not need them or as much of them for nutritional sufficiency, I’ll reduce or stop on ethical grounds, but I’m not there at this time.)

In years prior my total cholesterol level hovered around 150, but I have incorporated more fiber since then (adding the legumes I rarely included previously alongside whole nuts and seeds, especially [non-oil-roasted] walnuts and pistachios, which I credit with keeping my levels in control in past years), and I can be fairly sure that’s the reason for the drop. If you can’t do legumes, try to eat whole nuts and seeds (not just nut butters), which can play a major role in lowering blood cholesterol and fat. Eating more food-based fiber is a pretty boring answer to better cardiovascular health and health in general. There are no novel theories involved, no one-and-only superfoods, supplements, books, or premium memberships to sell. Yet it may be the single most effective strategy available.

How fiber lowers cholesterol and improves heart health is many-faceted, and isn’t something I fully understand yet. Firstly, it can speed digestion and transit time, which might lower the risk of oxidation in the intestines. It improves the gut microbiome, which can reduce systemic inflammation, decreasing LDL oxidation. Last but not least, it absorbs fat and cholesterol during digestion. A large body of evidence has come to suggest, contrary to popular belief, that arterial plaque build-up is reversible. So if fiber lowers the cholesterol impact of many meals that you eat, the overall volume of cholesterol that reaches the blood is markedly reduced, and the body is ‘given a break’ and able to clear existing plaque. In addition to these three, there is a fourth, seemingly direct mechanism at play that I have not seen explained, where some foods (e.g. walnuts, pistachios, other nuts) will lower blood LDL and triglycerides almost instantly, and then provide days or week of relief.

I don’t like to include much personal information here or do anything perceived as bragging, but given the wildly contradictory claims and recommendations in the internet health sphere at the moment, I feel the benefit of sharing my experience outweighs that. Of course, I may be wrong about fiber or misunderstand cholesterol’s link to CV risk. There’s undoubtedly more to the nutritional and physiological picture than I understand now and ever will. I know I’m going to die like everyone else no matter what I do, and only care about this stuff to a limit. I’m just sharing what I believe has worked for me and will work for many others, in place of CV drugs and their many side effects.

8/13/19- Tossing Around Some Epstein Theories

The internet remains abuzz with myriad theories on what became of Jeffrey Epstein. For anyone who has seen all the evidence and has the ability to interpret it, suicide is at the bottom of the list. This kind of observer also knows beyond any significant doubt that Epstein was/is an intelligence asset or agent who was/is running a sexual blackmail operation to help Epstein’s ultra-wealthy backers (Les Wexner and Epstein’s handful of other unnamed hedge fund ‘clients’) and their associates control politicians and other influential figures. In no particular order of probability, I’ll throw a few possibilities into the ring, some reiterated from the prior post (The first and simplest isn’t necessarily the likeliest. ‘Occam’s razor’ [as wholesale objection to conspiracy analysis] is platitudinous, unproven bull. Much evidence suggests an extensive and complex network has long controlled most major world affairs. Whatever reality is, its nature is anything but simple. Why should human affairs and decisions be?):

1) A blackmail target or group of targets paid corrupt guards to kill Epstein while supposedly ‘reviving’ him (link), or to look the other way while someone else did the deed. They didn’t care if others might have access to the blackmail material, they just wanted Epstein dead since he was in the hot seat and under pressure to talk, and figured killing him would be a temporary solution that would also send a message to his associates. They might make themselves known to Epstein’s associates at some point to let them know who among the targets means business.

2) His fellow intel-linked operators paid guards to kill him, or let someone else kill him. Were Epstein’s loyalty to be called in question and a decision made to off him, his murder would allow the operation to continue through a new point man with a new mansion, new recruiters, and a new set of technologies and techniques, and perhaps more importantly, perpetuate the blackmail of the hundreds of people in power who have already been compromised, an extremely valuable asset to let go to waste: do you really think they’d run an operation for 30+ years, get hundreds of power players into their back pockets, and then let it all die with an unstable, epic sex addict like Epstein, who was/is clearly just one member of a much bigger team? That defies credulity.

3) For the same reasons as number two, his fellow intel-linked operators paid emergency personnel to look other way as he faked death and was wheeled out alive, then switched with a corpse either in the hospital or en route to it. Medical examiners, coroners, and doctors can be as susceptible to corruption as most anyone else. For an extreme example see Fahmy Malak (link). That or medical personnel were forced or intimidated out of the way or into compliance and silence by Epstein’s powerful compatriots, who it’s not unlikely already had allies in certain hospitals who were willing to cooperate.

Number one is more likely in a more open system without an over-arching rulership, where separate factions compete hotly for power. Numbers two and three are more likely in a relatively closed system where most world affairs are controlled or influenced by a monolithic, top-down power structure (a less comfortable situation, albeit the one I believe we have). However, none of the three are inconsistent with either open or closed systems.

Assuming 2 and 3 are more likely than 1, keeping Epstein alive makes more sense than killing him. The operation is kept in business, the blackmail material is protected, and with Epstein in his late 60s and ready for retirement after a decades-long career, the next generation’s ringleader knows he won’t be thrown out with the garbage the moment trouble hits.

8/12/19- A Deductive Look at the Alleged Epstein Suicide

The alleged death by suicide of Jeffrey Epstein has dominated news reports in recent days. It’s my belief that in order, the likelihoods are:

1) That he faked his death or was killed by friends/fellow operators

2) That he was killed by enemies/targets of his operation

3) And at a distant third, that he killed himself.

Let’s set aside the establishment media’s reports and reconstruct an outcome from the facts of the case.

Epstein was apparently an extreme narcissist who wanted to live forever and repopulate the planet in his image. He enjoyed writing and socializing, things prison would allow. He appeared to be in good health for his age, wasn’t looking at a life sentence (likely well under 10 years with plea deal and parole), and had the funds for top-notch representation. There’s no apparent way he could’ve hung himself in his jail cell. So we’ll throw out suicide.

It’s clear that Epstein was not a lone operator. A wealth of data points suggest that Epstein was raised to ‘high society’ by multi-billionaire Les Wexner and that he and Ghislaine Maxwell both had links to US and Israeli intelligence. A multitude of firsthand accounts show that Epstein’s goal was to meet as many powerful people as possible, and have his underage masseuses bestow sexual favors on as many of them as possible. Clearly, blackmail and extortion were at hand. Clearly, a man like Epstein, living in unguarded homes in Florida and New York, could not carry on the extortion of dozens or hundreds of highly powerful men for decades by himself. Clearly, he was known to have big-time backup and connections.

So assuming that Epstein was an intelligence asset or agent and was running a large-scale blackmail operation to control politicians and other powerful figures, we can safely deduce two important facts: he was protected, and he was not the lone custodian of the blackmail material. If these are true, his murder by his enemies (i.e. the people his operation was able to blackmail) would both be risky and involve retribution, and would not achieve much. Sure, it could have been revenge and a shot across the bow to Epstein’s associates, but with a hit of this cost and complexity, I’d think all loose ends would need to be tied.

Assuming also that the whole case was not a media-intel show and that members of the Justice department and the people behind Epstein’s intel-linked operation were actually at odds with each other in the prosecution, what outcomes of Epstein would achieve something?

1) A murder by his fellow operators. He may have felt like he was being made the fall guy, and planned to cooperate with investigators. His colleagues/associates took him out to protect themselves and to allow for continued blackmail of the figures in question.

2) A staged death, whether presumed to be suicide or murder. Many in the public, debating how he died, would nevertheless assume the case had hit a dead end, that the investigation was over and justice would not be served. At the same time, the existing blackmail would remain in place, and the business of compromising the powerful would continue on as usual, through a new point man. Whatever is being claimed at the moment, all early reports verify that Epstein didn’t die in the jail. He was wheeled out alive and said to die an hour or two later at the hospital. Were the gurneys to be switched inside the hospital – seemingly an easier feat than perpetrating a deception inside the jail – Epstein could ride into the sunset under a new identity.

A third and probably less likely possibility is that Epstein was taken out by a blackmail subject as a matter of revenge, or as a precautionary measure, under the assumption that although others might have access to compromising material, only he had been charged criminally and had an easy avenue to present the evidence, and thus only he was a clear and present danger. We can call this the Arkancide scenario. In any case, suicide seems by far the lowest probability, enough to dismiss it completely unless much compelling evidence, none of which we’ve seen, is introduced.

8/8/19- YouTube Shadow-Bans Top Federal Reserve Documentary; It’s About Suppressing Truth, Not ‘Hate Speech’

The top documentary on the Federal Reserve’s 106-year fraud against the American people, Century of Enslavement, with 2 million views, was search de-indexed by Youtube as of a few days ago, and is no longer embeddable.

As the media-intel complex brings in more censorship, overt and shadow, under the guise of combating hate speech, the following subjects are included in what we are no longer allowed to talk about:

1) How the money and banking system is a complete and total scam

2) How many recent shootings and bombings were clearly fake events with no deaths

3) How 9/11 was a false flag event (specifically, that no passenger planes or hijackers were involved, which proves that the major media companies were directly complicit in the crime)

4) How many of the alleged ‘hate crimes’ are themselves staged events

5) How the media and ‘intelligence community’ have lied us into war after war after war

6) Anything else that makes the shadow government look bad.

The clampdown has little to do with hate or violence, xenophobia or white supremacism, which have been around for all our lifetimes. As most anyone knows by this point, and as the de-listing of the above documentary illustrates, it’s about far too many people getting far too close to the truth. Unlike in past decades, the ‘counter-messaging’ has been utterly failing, so censorship is all that’s left.

8/5/19- Dissecting the ‘249 Mass Shootings’ Infographic

An infographic is being circulated claiming that most developed countries have experienced 0-2 mass shootings this year, while the US has had 249.

First let’s look at intentional homicide rates. European rates average 2-3/100k, and the US has been around 5, while Latin America, for comparison’s sake, ranges from 10-70. So the US and Europe are fairly close. 5:3 doesn’t look quite as shocking as 249:1. Most murders in Europe are by knife (which are at least as lethal as guns in close quarters, and much easier to buy and carry) and blunt object. Gang hits are committed by beating and stabbing, and domestic murders aren’t infrequent. Suicide rates are comparable. Killing is killing; the tool or method doesn’t matter.

I’ve seen various definitions of ‘mass shooting.’ Typically it is the shooting, fatal or otherwise, of 3 or 4+ victims, including suicides of the shooter. So every drug-corner shootout (even with no deaths) is a mass shooting, every spat at a party, every multi-victim domestic murder.

Since violent crime in inner cities, as high as it is, is markedly down in the last two decades, ‘mass shootings’ are probably down also. If we account for this and take out the dozen or two fake events per year, mass shootings are probably down on the whole from 15-20 years ago.

So if we have 249 ‘mass shootings,’ I’d put a large wager the breakdown is something roughly like this, and maybe someone will take the time to prove it out:

Drug/gang-related shootouts with 0-2 deaths and 1-3 injuries (virtually all with illegal handguns): 100

Drug/gang-related shootouts/hits with 3 or more deaths: 50 (one per US state per year)

Unintentional mass shootings (one victim targeted, bystanders shot): 50

Domestic multi-victim murders and murder-suicides (large majority with handguns): 25

Shadow-government drill-as-reality fake shootings: 19-24

Real mass shootings (the kind everyone is thinking of): 5 or fewer

8/4/19- The Fake Shootings Have Continued – We Just Can’t Talk About Them Anymore

I’ve demonstrated in posts below how, without a shadow of a doubt, the Sandy Hook shooting was fake and involved no deaths. I’ve gone into the other fake shootings and bombings (Boston, San Bernardino, Dallas, Paris, Nice, Munich, dozens of others) and discussed how they’re carried out (including how deaths are faked), and for what purpose: apparently, to maximize ‘readiness’ for a real mass casualty event by means of maximizing the realism of the covert training exercises, including by involving the media and deceiving the public, in order to gauge and manage the effect of these kinds of disasters on American society (that’s the ostensible purpose; the real reason is to dumb down the public by having them believe in fake events, as well as tamp down on civil liberties and gun rights). The blueprint for these ‘full-scale,’ media-involved exercises was revealed in documents from Operation Closed Campus, the first of a series of planned school shooting drills that was canceled in 2011 after public outcry, at which point I believe the program was classified and went underground. Among other indications of fakery, researchers then spotted Closed Campus drill features in the aforementioned events (frequent use color-coded lanyards and nametags, red-handed instances of moulage, obvious direction of ‘players’ to specific rallying points by plainclothed drill directors; substantial supplies and equipment that were in place [literally] before the smoke even cleared: large tents, porta-potties, pallets of water bottles, stacks of pizza boxes, etc.)

Not long ago there was a robust online discourse consisting of a few hundred channels that would collectively serve to expose the shootings and bombings as the drills that many of them are, with each researcher usually finding one or two pieces of evidence that would by just a few days afterwards tally up to a preponderance of dozens or hundreds of exhibits. Suddenly as of around October 2018, and gradually for about a year prior, that discussion has been completely snuffed out by Google, YouTube, and Facebook; even a single search result is hard to find. Websites that might have acted as alternative forums (e.g. Voat) were promptly taken over by white supremacists and neo-Nazis (the top leadership of both groups long comprised in large part of undercover federal agents) and shut down on those grounds (e.g., public pressure on the site’s owner to take the site offline). For whatever reason, Bitchute has failed to gain traction and doesn’t have a significant user base. (I myself have come to talk about faked shooting and terror events less because the M.O. has been made clear, the reasons are clear, and after analyzing the tenth or twentieth event, it gets tiresome. Sure, it is possible other commentators may have similar sentiments, accounting for some of the drop-off, but certainly not all; censorship, many cases of which I’ve personally witnessed, is obviously the cause for the drop to zero.)

The masses of people who a year or two ago vocally doubted that the various ‘tragedies’ are real haven’t gone away or been convinced otherwise, they’ve just been silenced; as for foreigners picking up where Americans can’t, they use the same censored platforms and tend to view US happenings in the broadest of strokes, and aren’t interested in the minutiae of each crime. Like our structural economic problems have only been made worse behind the fake recoveries and booms, fueled for the past decade by the debt/QE addiction of Trump and Obama, our social and intellectual condition will only deteriorate behind the numbing effect of censorship.

I’ve always maintained that there are certainly occasional [real] mass shootings (i.e. of the public rampage kind), and there’s always the initial (slim) possibility that any event, Dayton and El Paso included, could be real. But with the shadow government’s track record, assuming fake until proven real with this category of event has proven to be a more accurate viewpoint.

7/23/19- Why Space Skepticism Is the Empirical or ‘Evidence-Based’ Position

In recent posts there has been talk of ‘fake space’ and alternate Earth shapes, discussion that is surely beyond the pale for many readers. I’d like to lay out my personal ‘judgment matrix’ that has led me to believe skepticism of the conventional cosmological model (without staking a claim on alternate models, which haven’t yet been sufficiently proven in my opinion) is the most rational position, starting with:

1) We’ve never seen the entire Earth from space, or any more than a tiny portion of it, let alone been to the Moon. The highest real footage has shown somewhere around 0.5% of the Earth’s surface from an altitude of around 200,000 feet. The highest real manned footage showed about 0.3%. Any images allegedly of the whole Earth are either from fake missions, or are dubious ‘composite’ photos made up of hundreds or thousands of images not available to the public.

2) We’ve never demonstrated [on Earth] that gravity exists. It’s a theoretical force that allows for an extrapolation to the heliocentric model. There is no earthly evidence of gravity. An alternate force (e.g. electromagnetic) or even alternate Earth shape could explain why objects fall towards the ground.

3) We’ve never detected the Earth’s movement. As I’ve detailed in posts below, the Earth’s rotation or movement in space has never been shown in any experiment, a fact acknowledged by Einstein, Hawking, and many others.

4) We’ve never witnessed Einsteinian relativity on Earth. Like gravity, it’s a theoretical explanation that allows for the rotation and revolution of Earth in space, enabling heliocentrism, yet it’s not needed to explain any phenomenon on Earth, or even any cosmic phenomena.

Consider also:

5) That the Sun and Moon would be virtually identical in size (as seen from the ground) is exceedingly, almost immeasurably unlikely, given the supposed distances involved and confluence of factors needed for this to occur. The numerological elements of heliocentrism being a coincidence is also highly unlikely. The odds of both being coincidences are infinitesimal.

6) That NASA would go to great lengths to fake the Moon missions and continue to fake ISS footage suggests the world power structure has something enormous to hide.

7) That the US-led world would go to great lengths to totally prohibit independent Antarctic exploration suggests the landmass contains some feature that may bear greatly on understandings of our world.

Considering the above and discarding all sacred cows, what are the cosmological possibilities? That:

A) I’m wrong about all of the above; many claims have been amply demonstrated on this blog, but I welcome anyone to verify them on his or her own.
B) The above is true but mischaracterized and/or immaterial, and the conventional model is still correct.

Continuing to other possibilities, many will jump immediately to flat, Biblical i.e. ancient-model Earth, but this is hardly the only one:

C) What we see is the conventional model but it is a simulation of some kind, and the underlying reality is different.
D) We see the conventional model and it is a mix of simulated and real elements.
E) The Earth is spherical and there is some force other than gravity that is causing celestial bodies to be held up and move, and for Earth to float in space (unless there is a physical or energetic foundation of sorts at its bottom), a scenario which would also allow the Sun and Moon to be similar in size. The alleged size of, temperatures of, and distances between celestial bodies are built on assumptions relating to concepts that are in no way visible in or relevant to earthly experience, e.g. gravity, light speed, Einstein’s relativity, alleged Sun distance. There are geocentric models that are 100% consistent with all earthly and astronomical observations. Choosing to discard geocentrism or ‘limited-centrism’ in favor of non-centrism aka heliocentrism was and continues to be more a philosophical / religious decision than a scientific one.
F) The Earth is flat and circular, flat and rectangular, concave, convex, hollow (and we are on the inside), multi-dimensional, or some other form than spherical, and we have not yet reconciled all observations with its true shape, position, and nature.

Embracing A or B requires ignoring or dismissing vast amounts of dissonant evidence. Many will not let the door to these kinds of questions creak open even an inch, and thus label anyone with doubts to be mentally ill, a Bible literalist impervious to debate, or an uncritical dupe who will fall for anything. This is an emotional reaction that in most cases is based on faith in authority and fear of not knowing, and is rarely or never the product only of rational inquiry and independent understanding.

Maintaining an open, uncertain perspective is the most empirical or scientific position with regards to the nature of Earth and the cosmos, since it accounts for all factors: those that confirm conventional notions and the many that defy them or cast heavy doubt, including those that derive exclusively from low-to-no-credibility sources like NASA.

6/28/19- The Democratic Debates and the 2020 Selection; Gabbard and Yang Top Polls, Are Ignored

This week I decided to watch the two Democratic debates, mainly just to gauge the current state of the two-party circus. A Trump-beating party strategy/platform most certainly wasn’t on display: both nights focused almost entirely around providing government assistance to non-citizens and vainly ‘fighting’ the apparently non-existent issue of ‘climate change’ (where there has been no warming for 20 years and for centuries at a time in the not so distant past it was warmer than today, and no category of natural disaster has actually become more frequent or severe. Even were it to be to some tiny degree real, as a political movement it’s completely and totally a scam meant to funnel tax money to special interests and impose a world government, costs far outweighing the admittedly marginal, impossible-to-measure benefits).

Unsurprisingly, the two participants who probably have the most appeal to the American electorate as relatively rational, less-partisan, and anti-interventionist candidates, and who could actually beat Trump – Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang (I by no means support their entire platforms, or would necessarily vote for them) – were almost entirely shut out, ranking 17th and 20th respectively in speaking time allotted. Despite this, they topped most polls as the debate winners, results which most media channels predictably ignored.

With establishment favorites Biden, Buttigieg, and Harris ‘randomly’ chosen to distract from Bernie (who will almost certainly get cheated by his party again, and if he managed to get nominated would – as a known big C Communist in spite of his current platform – likely be beaten badly by Trump in most states) for the main event that would cut off any coverage of the prior day’s debate featuring Gabbard (the candidate who least appears to be a paid-for hack and who has the best chance to beat Trump, though has little odds of getting through her party’s deeply corrupt nomination process), it should reinforce the idea that nominees from the R & D parties have not been organically elected by the people, but selected for us by the media-intel complex, shadow government, whichever name you prefer. Hopefully the unfavored, ‘second tier’ candidates like Gabbard who weren’t given the spotlight and the softball questions will wake up in time and realize they need to run on a broadly appealing third party ticket to finally be able to transcend the two-party duopoly.

6/20/19- Edited Video of Alleged Iran Drone Attack Is Cheap, Transparent War Propaganda (Link)

Today a video was tweeted by Israeli journalist Amichai Stein claiming to show Iran shooting down a US drone, complete with dramatic music and ‘Allahu Akbar’ chants thrown in at the end. It paints a picture of Iranians as violent zealots, when the most widely traveled people on Earth all count Iranians as among the friendliest and most welcoming people on Earth – more than once I’ve seen as number-one in that regard – and invariably as normal, peaceful people living in a modern, developed country. But when war is afoot, the enemy must be villainized and dehumanized. The footage is likely from another event altogether, since by the dubious US intel account of the attack it happened tens of miles from Iran in international waters, where the impact shown happens just overhead of a land-based missile launcher.

Clearly the video was produced by some anti-Iranian external party. The YouTube channel, ‘Iran Military Tube’ (no connection to Iran government or military), was created just a month ago, with a few filler videos posted before this. All that was left to do in this propaganda piece was wave an Iranian passport in front of the camera. Again, no one – or at least no kind of critical mass among the American populace – is any longer buying these bush-league attempts at deception.

6/16/19- False Flag Believers Are Now in the Small Minority – If I Can Find Any at All

In the age of drone attacks, ‘surgical strikes,’ and ‘kinetic actions,’ neither politicians nor citizens nor even soldiers in many instances (and decreasingly so as AI expands) have to dirty their hands or put their butts on the line. For some time, but now more than ever, the process of initiating and waging war has become a media-centered PR game that is more psychological in nature than anything else.

Fortunately, I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t at least suspect foul play in the several incidents in the Persian Gulf region. As the events get ever more transparent and formulaic, [claimed] belief in them, for the first time in memory, seems to be entirely restricted to US and UK high-paid media personalities, and those nations’ politicians (and of ‘allies’ in the Middle East) who are unwilling to face the wrath of the military-industrial-banking complex (similar to what we saw with the bank bailouts, where 96% or so opposed, yet they stole the trillions anyway). The large majority of citizens of all countries including the US, and even foreign governments around the world have officially stopped buying it.

6/15/19- You Can’t Go to Antarctica. Why?

In the most recent full post I discussed the strange situation in Antarctica, including the following:

A) No non-military pilot has ever flown across. No commercial flights have ever crossed.
B) You can’t enter by land without a permit, outside the tiny coastal portion visited by cruise tourists, or at all by air. Commercial flight below the 72nd parallel requires a permit (no permits or limits in Arctic) and private flight over the mainland for exploratory purposes is prohibited by treaty, no exceptions.
C) Any permit application can be denied, and the environmental impact analysis (involving multiple government agencies) required just to submit an application costs $250k.
D) Were a permit to be granted, vast swaths are ‘protected’ from exploration, and routes and equipment must be pre-approved. Motorized vehicles and aircraft for exploration purposes are not allowed. Sled dogs are not allowed (dogs were used in Operation Highjump and survived). Firearms are not allowed. Walking in areas with moss or lichen is not allowed. All human waste including urine must be carried for the entire trip and brought out of Antarctica (reportedly 5.5 million sq miles), involving a separate planning/permitting process with the NSF. Meanwhile, for all the ‘protection,’ there are zero species of birds or mammals (aside from penguins and seals on the shoreline), and only one species of insect, reported to inhabit the mainland (link). At a sixteenth to quarter-inch in length, it is Antarctica’s largest animal (link); with the exception of lichens, all other life is outside the landmass, in the sea and surrounding islands.
E) A permit is needed even to sail beyond the 60th parallel, per the Antarctic Treaty. If you sail beyond it, you will be intercepted by naval craft and arrested, as has been demonstrated.
F) I know of two private attempts to enter (link). In one, half of the crew who stayed behind at the coast allegedly died in a shipwreck and neither they nor the ship were found, and the other half who entered by ATV were promptly intercepted by helicopter and arrested. In the second attempt, the crew were arrested before reaching the coast, then deported, fined, and given suspended jail sentences.
G) All islands in remote proximity to Antarctica (even those that are reportedly over a thousand miles away), are closed to the public as ‘Antarctic territories’ and as part of the treaty zone, prohibited from exploration, e.g. Heard Island, Kerguelen / Desolation Island, Prince Edward Islands / Marion Island, Auckland Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. There does not appear to be any permanent human habitation below the 56th parallel, only government and military. In other words, there are no human inhabitants and is no permitted habitation or even free movement in latitudes beyond the mainlands of South America or Africa, or Tasmania / New Zealand.
H) NASA, the US Antarctic Program, and the Antarctic Treaty System were all founded within a year of each other in 1958-59. While other nations control most of Antarctica (overwhelmingly by core US allies: Australia, New Zealand, France, and Norway, with small portions by allies Chile and Argentina), the US government controls the supposed center/deep interior (Amundsen-Scott base), and has maintained a constant military presence since at least 1929 (link) (link) (link).

Everything there is to know about the place was supposedly established during the ‘Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration,’ mostly undertaken by military or government-sponsored personnel (bound to secrecy, under orders); few explorers went back for the rest of the century, until two people (also military) traversed a section recently, claiming to have reached the center. Sounds an awful a lot like the 1969-1972 ‘Age of [Fake] Moon Exploration.’ Regarding the relative few listed in the link above who survived, many explored only small areas, or could have followed a prescribed route and merely believed they arrived at the pole.

I’ve seen a variety of beliefs, sometimes combined, arise in explanation of the extremely peculiar Antarctic lockdown:

1) The Earth is not a sphere and its circular surface is planar, convex, or concave, with Antarctica as the circle’s edge. The landmass, with the highest average elevation of any continent by a wide margin (Antarctica reported average 7,545 ft, North Pole 0 ft; Arctic Circle ~1000 ft, average world land elevation including Antarctica is 2,755 ft; a fact proponents use to bolster the theory) would contain the oceans, as well as the base of some sort of physical or energetic barrier overarching Earth. This appears to be the Biblical model.

2) The Earth is not a sphere and this part of it is circular with Antarctica as its edge, and there are realms beyond Antarctica accessible by physical crossing of the land, or some sort of gateway or portal within it.

3) The Earth is not a sphere and its surface is a rectangular plane with imperceptible portals along 4 edges, including Antarctica.

4) The Earth is a sphere and Antarctica contains its foundation or support, physical or energetic.

5) The Earth is or is not a sphere and Antarctica has some other thing(s) that must be hidden at all costs: a parallel civilization, Nephilim, classified technological apparati, military bases, ‘alien’ bases; a land, sky, or celestial phenomenon not visible in other places, etc.

I don’t endorse any one of these theories, I’m only listing the more common among them. It does seem that at least one of the above categories, however outlandish, would be true, the ostensible reason for total prohibition (environmental / penguin protection) being not at all credible. As for questioning core characteristics of the Earth and ‘space,’ I lean towards the belief that geocentrism and a stationary Earth are more likely than the conventional model, but I make no hard claims on those two points, or on the shape.

6/14/19 – Has the Establishment – Like All Establishments That Came Before It – Lost Its Edge for Good?

The people in power keep doing the same things, apparently expecting different results:

They stage lame, zero-credibility false flags in Syria and the Persian Gulf, and fewer believe it each time.

They censor and clamp down on their channels and platforms, and the Overton window rapidly expands.

They back Hollywood and music propaganda with bigger than ever budgets, and hearts, minds, and dreams turn elsewhere.

They print record sums to stimulate phony growth, and GDP-for-debt returns steadily sink.

They fake dozens more shootings after Sandy Hook fails, and gun rights remain intact or strengthen (at least in places they had any support to begin with).

There has been one constant observable among empires: all have failed in their grand designs. Do the degenerates we see at places like Bilderberg and Bohemian Grove represent the exceptions of the last 5,000 or 10,000 years, the ones who could finally get it done? I highly, highly doubt it. Are we right now witnessing the international establishment crumbling or stalling out, rather than advancing to new heights of power and control? Quite possibly. Does it mean they won’t go out with a bang, throw a tantrum, and take many down with them? Sadly, not necessarily.

The vast majority of the conspiracy-sphere, Alex Jones as a notable example, gloomily parrots the establishment’s very own plans, treating them as imminent, inevitable milestones to be prepared for and passed. It’s certainly helpful to know the aims/delusions of one’s current rulers, but if history is any lesson, something entirely different will happen, that neither the full-time preppers nor the powerful have called or readied themselves for; and I have next to no idea what it is (which is why I try to stick to debunking falsehoods, including false histories, rather than predicting the future; and I’m not saying there won’t necessarily be a new boss similar to the old one, but I think the people in and structure of power will be different than anticipated). That isn’t some dramatic ending; I’m just stating as a reminder that in all likelihood the people you are reading, whether deep in the establishment or far on the fringes, are largely or entirely wrong if they’re telling what the future will hold.

5/27/19- War Hawks: Put Up or Shut Up

The US has officially participated in at least 30 foreign wars and ‘conflicts’ since Vietnam, resulting in several million military and civilian casualties, none of them fought on US soil or in defense of it; in addition to the surely dozens, maybe hundreds of other conflicts with covert or less direct involvement (e.g. Iraq-Iran War, 1M+ casualties).

That’s a lot of opportunities to suit up and fight for freedom, yet (over 11 presidencies going back to JFK):

Number of presidents who enlisted in the Army or Marines after WWII: Zero

(I separate those two branches because they have suffered about 95% of the total casualties since Vietnam)

Number of presidents who were deployed, or saw combat with any branch after WWII: Zero

Number of presidents whose children have seen combat: Zero

Number of presidents’ children who joined any military branch: Two (Carter son, Navy; GWB, suspended from Air National Guard unit for non-attendance for an entire year, then asked for early release)

I doubt Congress is much better considering their rubber-stamp voting record for ‘use of force’ authorizations, which are all unconstitutional since war must be declared by Congress. This hasn’t been done since WWII; probably because a declaration might lead to a draft, which could come back to bite them or their children, friends, associates, etc, as well as reignite the anti-war movement. All politicians who call for war, as well as the pro-war consultants and pundits – the Boltons, Kristols, and Kissingers of the world – need to put some skin in the game, or their families’ if they’re too old, before they can even begin to be taken seriously.

5/26/19- Army Asks How Enlistment Has Impacted Members, Response Backfires (Link)

I encourage people to peruse some of these stories to get an idea of the individual realities of war, not the glorified, gruff-voiced versions conveyed in pickup truck commercials, Marines ads, etc., which tend to spike at this time of year.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the large majority of people who served in the military and have successful lives and intact mental and emotional health were those lucky enough to have avoided combat (usually navy, air force, mechanics / support staff, etc.), especially long/multiple tours, which have become increasingly common. That’s a generalization and by no means a novel point, but true nonetheless. And while all war is surely traumatic, trauma appears to be greatly amplified when the justness of and reason behind the war are murky or absent, evidenced in the meteoric rise in PTSD rates, suicides per capita, substance abuse rates, etc. Were the troops to provide actual service in actually defending the country, rather than endangering themselves and us in the foreign wars of aggression we’ve had over last several decades, we could reverse this disgraceful trend, as well as begin to back ourselves out of the financial noose described below. Continued military imperialism financed by heavier and heavier debt is not the price of our freedom, it is its greatest threat.

5/24/19- Right-Wing Propaganda: How Fox News Shores Up the Disintegrating American Dream

In the Trump era, the term ‘fake news’ has been restricted to left-leaning sources – i.e.the large majority of the establishment media propaganda outlets, which are indeed fake. Fox News and talk radio hosts who support Trump are singled out as being non-fake; but it’s all fake: while the centrist/establishment/Third Way branch of fake news has its own long known agenda, prominent right-wing fake newsdom, which includes some ‘alternative’ podcasters, has its own propaganda themes, messages I’d argue are more subtle, or for whatever reason are less often confronted, probably because they deal less with ham-handed policy shifts and are based more intimately in 20th and 21st century American cultural conditions that have obtained for the entire lifetime of the propaganda subject, and are often taken as givens. It makes up probably a near majority, perhaps a large majority of programming volume and investment, yet represents a very small fraction of propaganda analysis, which is typically devoted to the imposition of political and social changes rather than the preservation of the status quo.

In a Fox show yesterday (link; not an endorsement of source), one commentator misleadingly stated that the ‘average’ net worth in the US is $692k (another said that it’s possible to be poor with a net worth of $100M, a statement to absurd to address). Viewers may scratch their heads: are all my neighbors secretly doing much better than they appear? No, that’s just what Fox News wants you to think, so you will:

1) Get back to work and stop complaining so you can succeed like everyone else; you’re just not working hard enough. A scam against the group is transformed into a failure of the individual, which seems to be the most characteristic element of establishment-right programming.

2) If working more doesn’t do it, go into debt and consume more so that you can appear to be wealthier than you are.

The $692k figure is technically correct, but what does the average household have, in the sense that most people understand, meaning Americans in the middle of the wealth range? Try $97,000, and that includes equity in a primary residence, so probably more like $60-70k after accounting for costs associated with liquidating and repurchasing a home, and inaccurate sale/purchase price expectations. How about among younger households who have started or want to start families (they and children of whom are then ostensibly meant to shoulder the massive debt burden; ostensible because it’s mathematically impossible)? $11,000.

‘Average’ household net worth (i.e. mean worth): $692,000

Median household net worth, all ages: $97,000 (where 50% have more, 50% have less)

MHNW under age 35: $11,000 (35-44 $59k) (45-54 $124k) (55-64 $187k) (65-74 $224k) (>75 $264k)

Current national federal debt ($22.3T) per household: $175,043 with interest accruing

Unfunded federal liabilities per household ($210 trillion/127.5M households): $1.65 million

Total federal government debt per household, current and unfunded: $1.82 million

Total current and unfunded (pensions, etc.) state and local debt per household: unknown

Average cost of 4 years public/private college tuition: $83,080 / $187,800

Federal debt to ‘household GDP’ ratio at median household income of $59,000: 296%

(in 2000: 110M@$42k@$5.5T: 127%) (in 1960: 69%) (in 1920: 11%) (in 1912: 5%)

Federal debt to household GDP ratio including future obligations not funded at current tax rates: 3082%

It takes some very deep, likely pharma-assisted dreaming to look past these numbers. What this tells us, in addition to general fook’dness and the obscenity of the wealth held by a small handful of families, is that Baby Boomers – who paid 10x less in real terms for education, earned ever rising real wages, and rode Greenspan’s 32-year and counting stock market wave/bubble – along with Gen Xers over age 50, have all the wealth among the various age demographics, and mainly the top 25% or so of them, and in general, everyone else is barely getting by in comparison. And a huge percentage, probably 30-40% of under 35s are financially underwater with a negative net worth in the form of compounding debt. This crisis isn’t limited to the US, with the UK and other nations in similar circumstances.

The notion, while maybe a tad true, that under 35s just have to save and invest more to reach the level of their wiser, more financially virtuous elders (another talk radio theme) is laughable on the whole; clearly the game long was and is rigged. I don’t begrudge the older generation on an individual basis for the perverse state of affairs, or even really on a group basis, I’m just stating the situation. Another talking point broadcast to the mostly older audience is that it’s normal for the oldest generation to hold all the wealth; no, net wealth has historically peaked around one’s early to mid 40s, then declined as earning potential dropped and retirement savings were used up. Social Security was instituted because old people were the poorest group in society. Today people over 75 have 4.5x more wealth than the historically richest age group.

The above statistical trick is part of a broader campaign that keeps ‘consumers’ feeling behind the curve. There is without doubt a peculiar set of phenomena in America: where an outsized percentage believes he or she is much closer to the financial top, and able to get there, than he or she is in reality, and where an outsized percentage believes the average living standard is far higher than it actually is, making it an elusive objective. I haven’t considered this at length and don’t quite have a handle on it, but it does explain how people would easily accept that the average wealth is 7x greater than it is, and how even when the reality for the average person is $97,000, the mark of ‘wealthy’ shown in the link, around $2 million, is considered to be a realistic goal that is within reach, perhaps even a likelihood, when probably not more than a single-digit percentage of the people in the vicinity of the $97,000 median will reach that level or go more than 10, 20, 30% of the way towards it, the point being that there is a vast gulf between expectations and outcomes, much more than in other places. I’m the last person to bash optimism, it’s an attitude that is surely one of the biggest parts of American success, and I encourage people to try to fulfill their potential in whatever form that takes, but when an idea is being used against you in propaganda that in my opinion is meant to destabilize and scam the masses and protect the financial elite (i.e. ultra wealthy, $50-100M++, billionaires), it should be discussed. The first step towards a productive optimism is removing one’s head from sand and taking stock of the situation.

So if left right and center are propaganda, where can one get non-fake news? You can look to ‘Digital Siberia,’ as it has been termed, where this blog resides, and listen to people you’ve never heard of before they get banned, or better yet, take all information with a grain of salt and try and figure things out for yourself.

5/23/19- If ‘Serving’ in Illegal, Misguided Wars Isn’t Good, Why Is Avoiding It Bad?

Today Pete Buttigieg took a predictable line of attack against Trump in criticizing his military record or lack thereof, on the apparent basis that his own record (Navy intelligence in Afghanistan, saw no combat) is praiseworthy, a tired tactic repeated in election cycle after election cycle. (On one hand I find it offensive that blustering, ‘red button’ Trump would play up a mild disability to avoid the draft, and then act like a champion of war and the military. On the other hand Trump’s actual policy thus far is the least hawkish and aggressive and best for the well being of military members of any president in several decades.) This leads to two questions:

A) Why are we supposed to admire Buttigieg being paid to participate in an illegal, unconstitutional war that even accepting the official lie had nothing to do with any of the alleged Saudi culprits (most of whom didn’t even exist), later led to a loss of one million Iraqi lives and tens of thousands of American soldiers, did nothing to make America safe, and failed in all its main objectives (with Taliban in control of most areas)?
B) Why is it wrong to have avoided participation and not unlikely death in a similar, also illegal war that was also started by means of a lie, did little to nothing to make America safe, killed hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and disfigured multiple generations with birth defects, and arguably failed in all its aims (since the whole of Vietnam is now technically under one-party Communist rule)- including by lying, which might have been the only way to safely do so?

I ask these questions because if we’re going to stop the military-industrial stranglehold on our politics, we need to start by changing our culture and doing away with the taboo around this kind of discussion in a public forum. Then, and hopefully before we have another unjust, non-freedom-protecting/safeness-keeping war, we can finally bring the unconditional, uncritical deference to ‘the troops’ (read: the $1 trillion/yr war budget) and imperialism that underlie rhetoric like Buttigieg’s to an end. This isn’t the 1770s, 1860s, or 1940s, when the cause was clearer and a [convincing] case for justness could more easily be made, even while many strings were being pulled behind the scenes. If any thinking person looks at the conflicts we choose to involve ourselves in today and pays attention to how we got into those conflicts, it becomes screamingly obvious that money and power – not liberty and justice, for us or anyone else – have lately become the primary values at stake (they were always values for some elements within our core rulership, but those elements have now gained near total control over the war-media-intel machine).

5/12/19- False Flag Fever Brewing in Iran Again

The last time ‘grave threat’ Iran – a 3,000 year-old nation – attacked anyone outside its own borders was in the 1700s, before the rampaging US was even founded. Iran clearly has nothing whatsoever to gain from attacking anyone today, and struggles enough with domestic economic issues caused by onerous trade and banking restrictions. Any act blamed on Iran will obviously have been engineered by Western powers, who stand to gain via the expansion of debt-financed war spending and the weakening of civil liberties at home.

Over the last 70 years the US and its allies have harassed Iran by overthrowing its government, imposing economic sanctions, and killing and wounding more than a million of its citizens in the Iraq-Iran War of 1980-88, in part with US-provided chemical weapons. Then over the next two decades the US government killed another million Iraqis in search of those same weapons (and in the process killed and injured 250,000+ US soldiers by the Gulf War Syndrome, of which a third died from related cancers, plus the thousands of actual battle casualties, thousands of suicides, etc.).

Over the last few days the media propaganda outlets of the West have been dreadingly hoping against a Tonkin-style ‘accident’ or ‘miscalculation’ in the Persian Gulf, as the US shifts naval units to Iran’s coast. With the Syria coup and Western-intel-creation ISIS having failed, and the Venezuelan coup also sputtering out (I don’t support Maduro, but don’t back brutal puppet governments in Latin America either), we can only hope the trend continues with Iran and any other countries on the hit list. (I’ve long suspected that all these developments around Russia, Iran, China happen with the cooperation of the political and economic elites in those countries. We know from space-related hoaxes that on issues of sufficient importance, all the major powers are willing to cooperate, treating the world as a highly competitive board game played by friends, one that the people can end at any time by increasing awareness and speaking out.)

5/11/19- Ghosts and Geocentrism: On the Incongruity of Beliefs

Ten years ago, if we took a poll on how many people had higher than zero doubt that the universe and Earth model we’ve been taught is entirely or at least fundamentally true, it would surely have been a low percentage, perhaps 2%, a figure I’m making up for the purpose of argument. Today, that number might be 4 or 5x higher, say 10% if not more, again, made up for argument’s sake. Among that minority, many are not comfortable voicing their doubts, due to the hostility, ridicule, and stigmatization that might result, albeit decreasingly.

Yet from time immemorial to the present, a large majority of people have entertained the possibility of, held firm belief in, and/or even maintain having experienced one or more of a wide variety of paranormal or ‘paramaterial’ phenomena: other planes and dimensions including an afterlife realm, ancestor spirits, ghosts, angels and demons, etc. (again, taken at least one such position on at least one such phenomena; though often more than one). Beliefs or musings about most of these things are today perfectly acceptable, and excepting a minority of philosophical-materialists and absolutist empiricists, talk of them is generally listened to by non-believers and met with at least a modicum of seriousness and contemplation, and not just because they often deal with the dead.

But if any or all of multiple dimensions, benevolent and malevolent spirits, and other such phenomena do in fact exist, what setting for them seems more likely: A) a geocentric (or ‘unicentric,’ or ‘limited multi-centric’) system that was designed and created with some purpose or B) an insensate, undesigned, infinitely large non-centric aka heliocentric system that originated from nothing, where all the paranormality or paramateriality relates in a direct manner only to an un-special speck hurtling through that endless void. I’d argue that it’s pretty hard to say B. To put it another way, what we can call the spirit or extra-dimensional world would in the conventional model either be linked to each rapidly moving, life-having planet and be distinct from other spirit worlds, which is not a very plausible scenario, or there would be some unified spirit world shared by all life-having planets or places, when there is no evidence at all that other such places exist. Since all known, reported, and believed spirit or extra-dimensional activity relates in some way to Earth, by all appearances the only place with life, it would make sense that Earth is at or somewhere near the center of existence.

Given that most people do at least entertain some or all of the above spiritual or extra-dimensional phenomena, I think they ought to extend that open mindset to all fields, and at least consider the idea of alternate world constructions, especially when there are functional, observation-consistent geo/unicentric models, and a momentous social and political agenda behind helio/non-centrism (which as noted below is a philosophy, not an empirical fact), with an apparent endgame of a world scientific-financial dictatorship.

5/5/19- The Copernican Principle and Heliocentric Model Are Philosophy, Not ‘Hard’ Science

In the most recent post ‘Is Space Fake? ‘The Universe’ as a Grigorian Mathematical Model’ I expressed skepticism and tentative non-acceptance of the prevailing heliocentric/non-centric universe model, and introduced alternative explanations for some of the phenomena that are said to prove it. (Personally, while I believe in God, my cosmological view would be best defined as agnostic but geocentric-leaning, with conviction on shape, surroundings, and age suspended.)

Part of the post dealt with how little we directly know of the realm in which we live, and what little we have been shown of it. For example, the highest non-state rocket flight is about 200,000 feet or 37 miles. Indications of fakery abound around the International Space Station (with some ‘orbital’ footage shot underwater, where bubbles are visible, and other clips involving fishing lines to suspend objects) and the craft is in all likelihood an unmanned satellite, at perhaps 200 miles altitude. As established in posts below, the Moon landings were all completely and utterly fake and never happened (see: ‘taped over’ $200B original footage, ‘lost’ $200B rocket plans, never been back in 49 years, fake Moon rocks etc., etc.). Mars roving is a hoax and is taking place in northern Canada. Countless photos of Earth we’ve been shown by NASA are doctored, and in many cases admittedly computer generated (which look identical to the ‘real’ photos).

Putting aside these entertainment productions and focusing on credible evidence, what we have actually seen of Earth and any broader system is <1% (probably 40-80 miles) of what’s said to be above according to the smallest model, the Biblical (which is similar in form to the large majority of ancient models), and 0.1-0.2% of what’s said to be below (via a 9-inch-diameter borehole, seven miles out of a supposed 3,958). The rest amounts to theory and theater.

Since the aforementioned post is lengthy, includes many tangents, and was written by someone without any formal cosmological training, I’d like to rely on the words of others who are better known and perceived as more authoritative to express one of its primary points here. The first is world-renowned, highly respected Cambridge theoretical physicist George F.R. Ellis, who co-authored a book with Stephen Hawking, showing he is no pariah of the ‘scientific community,’ not that that would discredit his ideas:

“People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations… For instance, I can construct for you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations. You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that.”

So basically, some [establishment backed and funded] scientists and mathematicians put on their theology-cosmology hats, melded the two fields together without telling anyone, and few people since seem to have noticed. The second person is Tesla, a critic of establishment-darling Einstein, who by many, very strong indications was a plagiarist, if not a fraud altogether:

“[Einstein’s theory of relativity is] a mass of error and deceptive ideas violently opposed to the teachings of great men of science of the past and even to common sense. . . [it] wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. . . the theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king. Its exponents are very brilliant men, but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. Not a single one of the relativity propositions has been proved.”

While these kinds of quotes are typically employed in arguments about the Earth’s shape, let’s set those aside in this case and keep the discussion to geocentrism and heliocentrism, and recognize that geocentric models are indeed fully viable, a fact unknown to most, perhaps suppressed. With regards to the shape, there’s nothing mutually exclusive about geocentrism and sphericity or rotation, and there are spherical non-rotating and non-sphere models that respectively are workable and seem potentially workable (enough to warrant further inquiry). Some of the latter appeal to paranormal phenomena and/or disputed phenomena such as aether, but none of it is any more fantastical than what the conventional model claims.

The post also contains information on Earth’s supposed rotational speed, and what little evidence there is for it, bringing to mind that celestial bodies may revolve around Earth. See the following:

“The conclusion contradicts the explanation. . .which presupposes that the Earth moves.” -Albert Michelson, whose experiment would prove the existence of aether presupposing a stationary Earth, but instead is claimed to have disproven it.

“A great deal of research has been carried out concerning the influence of the Earth’s movement. The results were always negative.” Henri Poincaré, from whom Einstein plagiarized several theories, then claimed to have never heard of beforehand.

“I have come to believe that the motion of the Earth cannot be detected in any optical experiment.” -Einstein

“All attempts [‘to perceive the motion of the Earth in space’] led to a negative result. Before the theory of relativity was put forward, it was difficult to become reconciled to this negative result.” -Stephen Hawking

Returning to the Copernican Principle, it is a philosophical supposition predicated on the beliefs that:

1) Humanity is not special: there is no reason to believe there are not many intelligent species (objection: beyond the raw imaginings of sci-fi novelists, there are no reasons to believe there are any other intelligent mortal beings.)

2) Earth is not special: there is no reason to believe that the planets are not basically like Earth, or to believe that there are not planets, also Earth-like, beyond our system.

(objection: there is no reason to believe the celestial bodies called planets are like Earth – they don’t have life, we’ve never been to any of them – or to believe that there are any other, independent systems at all.)

The Copernican Principle relies on the mediocrity principle, which states that an object drawn at random is probably not special or privileged. (This quote by heliocentrist/non-centrist Stephen Hawking, an establishment idol like Einstein, may illuminate: “The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies.”) But with respect to Earth, there are no other items that can be firmly concluded to be in the same ‘set,’ i.e. the set might only contain one item, as do countless ‘sets’ (e.g. a work of art, invention; or an iris, snowflake, etc.). A ‘draw’ in this context implies and requires a relatively large set, i.e. more than one or a few, a condition that hasn’t yet been convincingly established.

This notion (unsound, in my opinion) is one of the philosophical foundation blocks on which heliocentrism rests, as do space-alien theories and reality-as-simulation theories. Are these ideas really the product of logic, or just the [externally guided] musings of people who accepted certain premises at a young age and never looked back?

5/1/19- ‘Save the Planet’ or Fake Aliens Will Do It for You

Out-of-nowhere Democratic party donor darlings like Beto and ‘AOC’ have recently been warning of the same impending climate cataclysm that has been predicted since the 1990s, and should have hit 10, 15, and 20 years ago. They laughably claim the world will end in just 12 years and urge trillions in spending for their cronies, higher taxes, and immediate bans on all gas engines and [commercial, non-private-jet] air travel – when pollution is going down, and population will max out and begin to decline in about two decades. We haven’t budged an apparent inch towards the predicted disasters over the thirty years they’ve been rabidly warned against, and maybe even budged backwards from them, yet somehow the next 12 years are when it’s all going to go down; get real. I consider myself an environmentalist to an extent, and there are pressing environmental problems that need to be addressed, but this kind of totally irrational alarmism, whether it’s lunacy or, more likely, a political play, only discredits efforts to solve them.

I’ve shown in a past post that the odds are overwhelming that the concept of aliens as little green men from ‘light years’ away is 100% manmade, a product of science fiction, and in the last post suggested that ‘space’ itself (as the specific imagery we’ve been shown), a necessary construct for the fake creatures, may well also essentially be a fabrication without basis in reality, in terms of the scale and nature of celestial bodies, distances between them, etc. (This is not necessarily a statement on the shape of the Earth, only to say that there are indications of deception around ‘space’ and ‘the universe’ as they are presented to us. And if there is deception, some form of geocentrism – within which there are models consistent with observations – would seem more likely than heliocentrism in my opinion. In any event, given said indications I think the general topic is one that should be open for discussion.)

Aside from fighting an external threat in the form of aliens or asteroids, the causes of ‘saving the planet’ and ‘stopping climate change’ are the only other viable reasons for a world tax system and government, and given the uncharted territory and chance of spectacular, irrevocable failure involved with a fake ET event that has been in the planning since at least the 1950s, the tried and true method of a simple propaganda campaign to rally the people around some issue is highly preferable, hence the climate obsession being spread from fake-grassroots politicians to celebrity appeals to TED talk stages to seemingly amateur YouTube videos.

4/29/16- Dismantling two cheap talking points of the left and right

‘Some people did something [on 9/11]’

Rep. Ilhan Omar recently stated ‘some people did something’ on 9/11. The dunce view on the right is that the official story is true and she is trivializing the event; and the dunce view on the left is that the official story is true and Muslims in general shouldn’t be blamed for the actions of a few [most of whom never even existed].

The correct view without much doubt is that Rep. Omar knows well that 9/11 was a false flag event – a view held by probably 80% or more of Muslims worldwide – and her statement was a nod to skepticism of the plane-hijacker-pancake myth, and a refusal to fully play along with that myth.

To take it further, yes, some people did do something: some CGI artists faked the planes in non-live, 17-second-delayed TV footage (with planted witnesses and perhaps live audio effects on site to aid the media plane deception) and around 30 ‘amateur’ video clips; some non-Muslims demolished the buildings with explosives alongside more exotic weaponry of some kind, and some hijackers were made up out of whole cloth by Western intel and allies.

‘There were good people on both sides [at Charlottesville]’

Trump repeatedly condemned neo-Nazism and white supremacism during and after Charlottesville. His correct point was that many of the protesters were Civil War buffs and others who were there to protest the demolition of history, which they thought should be left to stand and study. Having met quite a few of this group, it’s certainly not a racist one, at least not any more than the general population, and contains many fine people: so Trump was right, and Biden is mischaracterizing his statement to score political points.

There are many blood-soaked postbellum presidents who had at least a comparable hand in injustice and human suffering, in the US and/or abroad, as did Robert E. Lee. The South stood for good things as well as the obvious bad: anti-imperialism, decentralism, a higher degree of liberty [if not for all]: things the establishment hates, hence the wholesale condemnation today.

So if all depictions of Lee must come down, in the interest of moral consistency so should those of Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson (who made us all into [free-range] slaves by installing the Fed; no, not really an exaggeration), FDR, LBJ, Clinton, Bush, and many other executives of the worldwide American Empire and the death and destruction it has wrought, for the good it has also done.

4/21/19- Border Militia Groups Are Citizens First, Vigilantes Second

The shadow government will go to any length to subjugate society under the state or conflate the two, when law and society predate the state by untold thousands of years, and exist in places with little or no state presence, propaganda to the contrary notwithstanding.

There are legal concepts alive today (and fiercely under attack) that recognize this reality, including but not limited to:

1) Jury Nullification: Unbeknownst to many, juries made up of random citizens are superior in power to public-servant judges and legislators, and can effectively veto any law or ruling. Many legalist judges refuse to acknowledge and sometimes actively suppress this constitutionally protected right.

2) Citizen’s Arrest and Open Carry: Put into historical context, the Second Amendment indisputably refers to the whole body of the citizenry as the militia, and affirms the right of that whole body to keep and [openly] bear arms. The armed citizenry has the right to enforce all laws, and never delegated that right exclusively to police.

So as out of place as it may seem, there’s nothing at all unlawful about a man bearing a rifle in public and arresting people who are breaking the law (including giving them orders, handcuffing them); politicians, policemen, and Presidents not excepted. If a man doing this were to be charged, citizens have the right to refuse to convict by means of nullification.

This isn’t about ‘sovereign citizenship’ with its multiple identities, beliefs around maritime law, etc. It is simply honoring the common-law underpinnings of the supreme law of the land, where the citizens are in control, and rejecting the corporatist, legalist takeover we’ve increasingly seen.

Today the leader of the United Constitutional Patriots (UCP), a group that patrols the border and arrests immigrants, was arrested by the FBI. The firearms charges were unrelated to the UCP’s actions, given that they’re legal, but the prosecutor and various agencies made a point of condemning the group’s extra-governmental law enforcement activities, and establishment-beholden funding sites like Paypal and GoFundMe canceled its accounts. I have mixed feelings on the UCP. On one hand, citizens in a consensual community have the right to enforce their borders and regulate settlement. On the other, all people have a God-given right to the Earth, and to travel on it. In an ideal world, viable-scale, bona fide communities would form, and allow travelers to pass through and traders to buy and sell, while controlling permanent settlement. Unfortunately that’s not what we have, which results in a conflict of rights at the border. The people who believe it is what we have hold the potential to reform the status quo, but also to reinforce it, and the more ignorant, jingoist elements within the border militias might become a critical mass and influence things in a bad, truly fascist direction. But more importantly, these kinds of organizations are only a symptom of decades of unconstitutional behavior by the federal government. Correct that behavior and the groups, along with the risks they present, will go away.

4/16/19- Answering “So Is Everything a Conspiracy?”

There are 7.5 billion people on Earth. If each person takes an average of 50 premeditated actions per day, however simple and mundane, that are identifiable as distinct events, that’s around 40 billion ‘planned’ human events per day and 14 trillion per year.

The busiest, most knee-jerk conspiracy theorist might find a few hundred events per year that he concludes are significant conspiracies or deceptions of some kind, let’s say 365 events per year, which is 1 in every 40 billion planned events. However much of the pool of total events is consolidated or dismissed as insignificant, the fraction of them in question is infinitesimal.

So clearly not everything is a nefarious conspiracy, or said to be one. It basically comes down to this:

1) The media are propaganda outlets first and foremost, news reporters a distant second.

2) They report most on the events that fit their agenda, and staged or faked events fit it the best.

3) They cover other happenings as little and briefly as possible, since as random, unengineered events, their propaganda value is generally not maximal; additionally, attention spans and airtime are limited.

To put it another way, it would be helpful to picture ‘the news’ not as a mirror of reality, but as a neverending propaganda film, as I’ve said many times. It has producers, a cast, and a neverending script. The elements of the plot are sought out and selected – and often created outright – not passively received as reports, and only so many of them can run concurrently.

So of course agenda-tailored false flags, hate hoaxes, fake shootings, etc. etc. are going to take up the prime space. Why bother waiting for and twisting the real when you can create the artificial? Anything that isn’t pure propaganda – e.g. sports (as political/racial controversies), weather (as climate change), etc. – will be contextualized in it as much as possible. And anything that’s squarely counter to the narrative, or a mixed bag, will be ignored, a one-off blurb at best. What you may think of as ‘everything’ – i.e. the contents of said film, along with the broader propaganda matrix as false histories, etc. – to lead back to the original question, isn’t, and never has been.

4/15/19- Was the Burning of Notre Dame a Banker-Intel Temper Tantrum?

While the fire was still raging, French authorities stated conclusively, in spite of the recent rash of deliberate attacks on well known churches and the incident’s occurrence on the first day of Holy Week (cue coincidence-theorist ascription to pareidolia), that arson was not the cause; yet offered no details of what was. I’m not at present claiming the fire was without doubt an intentional act, or if I do claim that, tying it to a culprit, but I think the following merits consideration.

France’s massive, under-reported yellow-vest protests show they have been getting serious about canceling their banker servitude, and now their second most famous and perhaps most impressive landmark has been destroyed. Over recent months I’ve seen enough of the way the bank-owned media has handled the yellow vest movement to know they take it as a real threat to restrain or end their racket, and have been intending to answer it harshly.

Let’s look at the banks as a gang-linked bookie, and the government as the gambling addict, which is a precise analog for the financial situation in France and most of the world. If you are a bookie or loan shark and you want an unresponsive person to pay you can A) threaten his life or property or B) injure his person or property to send a message.

As Macron had begun buckling to the yellow vests, was the burning of Notre Dame a shot across the bow, the national equivalent of a broken thumb? I don’t rule it out. Is it below the power-mad ‘elite’? Unfortunately, not at all, if we judge by past actions: virtually all of the major acts of terrorism and destruction of historical monuments in past decades – from Palmyra in Syria to Bamyan in Afghanistan, among others – have been at the hands of Western intel-linked and funded groups. I’d say we can wait until more evidence surfaces, but we’re living in the censorship zone now, and that may never happen, at least not via the establishment media or major search and social platforms.

Of course, were I to be right, critically minded readers would know that obviously, per standard operating procedure, the perpetrators would put the fingerprints of their opponents on the crime, rather than their own. So the yellow vests, who have absolutely no motive or gain in burning churches, would be the party blamed. They or a shadow-government puppet group like ISIS (audio almost certainly faked); in either case, to all at once instill fear, divide French society, crack down on liberties, and both pressure and promote a rallying-around Macron’s embattled regime.

If you don’t know what I mean by national servitude to and ownership by the banking system, educate yourself on debt-based money.

4/11/19- Assange Arrested, Awaiting Extradition: Just Another Day in Oceania

War criminals get Sunday morning softball interviews, book signings, $300k speeches, and do-nothing 7/8-figure bank consultantships, while their whistleblowers get torture and solitary confinement.

Most of the commentariat on the left and right (save libertarians, and people like Dore and Kulinski among Progressives) are useless on the issue: one side ignores it when doing so suits their politics, and the other ignores it altogether.

Something about Snowden, Assange, and Manning never struck me as right, particularly Snowden, and I suspect they may have state sponsorship of some kind. To whatever extent either of those is true, we’re still being shown evidence of war crimes and appalling misdeeds, and still sweeping it under the rug and looking the other way for the sake of ‘national security’ i.e. empire preservation. That’s utter disgrace, not ‘shining city’ exceptionalism.

4/4/19- Conspiracy Theories and Cognitive Dissonance: Psychologizing the Psychologizers

In spite of the CIA’s having had a key hand in weaponizing the term ‘conspiracy theorist’ in the wake of the JFK assassination (after which derogative use of the term in journalism, often by the agency’s Mockingbird personnel, skyrocketed) (link), and despite the mountains of evidence in support of a great number of conspiracy facts that started out as theories, commentators like Joe Rogan – along with many others, left right center and ‘alternative’ – eagerly repudiate any identification as a conspiracy theorist (a term that is in reality interchangeable with conspiracy analyst, critical analyst or thinker, etc., since conspiracies large and small and conspiratorial and duplicitous behavior frequently exist – even more regularly at the higher power levels given the flocking-there by control junkies and sociopaths – and are no rarity; are we to think or theorize on anything but them?) and dismiss wholesale the criticism of official narratives as a mental illness or disorder of some kind. They say that delusional conspiracy theorists – terrified by a lack of cosmic order and unable to make sense of the world – cook up their perspective out of a deep-rooted need to explain things; that they may be right and theorize for truth’s sake are not considerations.

Here must enter cognitive dissonance, or the psychological discomfort that occurs when two beliefs or observations come into conflict. Many people cannot tolerate dissonance (or cannot suspend judgment and suppose that they do not yet understand something), so an explanation often has to be concocted and a reconciliation achieved for any conflicting facts or claims. All of us including me at times fall victim to this, to one extent or another. For example, dissonance is produced by believing that A) government is protector of its people and observing that B) government killed those people. One way dissonance can be eliminated and belief A preserved is by deciding that observation B is wrong, and that anyone who asserts they saw B or builds a case for it is insane, malicious, etc.; other ways are to rationalize or ignore B; this is a simple but important phenomenon.

So we have one group that says that conspiracy theories arise from a need to make sense of, and in some instances this is surely true; but I could just as easily explain that many of that group – including the academics who made the diagnosis – project a disorder onto others out of their deep and perhaps immovable need to limit dissonance and protect their worldview, and thus necessarily marginalize, mischaracterize, attack, and hate any information or messenger that threatens it; and from there could string together a laundry list of very troubling-sounding DSM diagnoses. It’s a two-way street, and the motive to pathologize detractors is the same on either side: i.e. for belief change, and preservation; if not far stronger on the latter side. Let’s resist this ad hominem characterization game, and assume a non-malicious intent and rational basis for any given premise or claim, then evaluate it on its merits, rather than attributing it to ulterior motives or falling all over ourselves announcing that we’re not conspiracy theorists. The establishment, in its recent censorship frenzy, obviously has no desire to air evidence and have an open discourse on any but the most innocuous or small-scale conspiracies, leading one to conclude why: our past and present are rife with, if not in a sense defined by them.

3/30/19- ‘The Adam and Eve Story’ and the CIA Classification of History

The above book (link), written by unknown author ‘Chan Thomas’ and self-published via the apparently made-up company ‘Emerson House,’ discusses the geological basis for Biblical events such as the Great Flood, something that has by now entered the mainstream via interviews like this that I’ve linked to before. It was classified in 1966, seemingly prior to its publication, and declassified (in part) fifty years later in December 2016, when a ‘sanitized copy’ was released by the agency, with entire pages still redacted from the middle of the text. No full versions appear to be available to the public. Having skimmed through the book, I don’t agree with all of Thomas’ claims or perspectives (especially the mechanisms of cataclysm that are detailed) – nor with the widely viewed coverage by the Bright Insight channel (link) – but he does touch on many important themes which are probably the basis for the ongoing censorship.

Aside from the book’s building of a case for a real Great Flood event, some of its classified portions appear to move into detail of non-Biblical/non-canonical geological events such as the sinking of continents by said cataclysm(s), which obviously runs counter to conventional assumptions. Other historical features, such as the destruction of Atlantis and its location at the Richat Structure in Mauritania – where several hundred feet of sand would have swept into the previously sea-and-island region of the Sahara, burying the city and civilization – are also completely at odds with contemporary understandings of geology (specifically, with regards to catastrophism, which appears to be correct due to problems with radiometric dating models, versus the prevailing uniformitarianism), and like the cataclysmic events discussed in Thomas’ book, Atlantis’ placement at Richat (facilitating its movement from legend to reality), which is backed by considerably more evidence than any other Atlantis theory, has been blacked out and boxed out from the substantial academic discourse on the topic.

Whether Thomas’ thesis, which I haven’t read yet, is correct is another question. The main significance here is that fifty years ago intelligence agencies were compelled to suppress inquiries of this nature, and that even today they are not comfortable allowing them to air, and neither are the private sector intel proxies of YouTube, Facebook, etc., who have demonetized and deleted users who so much as touch on the question that commonly accepted anthropology may be wrong, that an ancient civilization was wiped out, and this may not be ‘our first rodeo.’

The ‘mainstream’ i.e. establishment-funded geological position is that there have never been any worldwide, cataclysmic events, therefore all changes and formations must have taken place over hundreds of millions and billions of years. But there are also ‘catastrophist’ geologists who assert rapid, near-instant build-up of the geological column, which could put the [known portion of] Earth’s geological history in the tens of thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands of years. As for a corroborative indication of age like carbon aka radiometric dating, it maxes out at about 80,000 years, after which the age becomes conjecture based upon external factors, e.g. where the item was found, rather than on its remaining carbon isotopes. I’m not making a statement on the Earth’s age, but it is notable that vast evidence exists for a worldwide cataclysm approximately 11,500 years ago, yet the still-uniformitarian, ‘consensus’ position relies on complete and total denial and dismissal of this and any other remotely recent cataclysm (i.e. any in the last ‘few million years’), on ignoring and marginalizing evidence rather than confronting and explaining it; and also on intel-agency censorship, apparently; circumstances which at the least should raise one’s eyebrows through the ceiling.

In the Trans-Atlantic Deception post I showed how some of the most damning exhibits of evidence are kept in storerooms, hidden from public view by extremely wealthy collectors, or even destroyed or disfigured in some cases. Though I already suspected it, outright classification has shown to be another vector to obscure the past.

So am I a Bible literalist now? No, but I do think certain legendary or mythological events may be in essence real, and put into their forms for ease of storytelling, with names and details changed and perhaps interchangeable with those of other religions in some instances, and with distortions of the facts of the event occurring through the passage of great amounts of time and the frequent splintering off of languages and theologies; as opposed to their always being allegories or mere fables. Many people seem to either discount them altogether or swallow them whole, where the truth is likely in between.

3/26/19- The Establishment Media Exists to Propagandize and Control, Not Report

I’ve said this within longer posts, but to understand why ‘the media’ (i.e. ‘mainstream,’ establishment, etc.) does what it does, promotes agendas no one wants, spends all its time on issues no one or only a small minority cares about, you need to understand what they actually are.

It’s obvious to anyone these days that the media regularly issues propaganda; but it’s not just that, they arepropaganda: it’s the primary reason they exist. The reporters, while surely well meaning at lower levels, and their investigations are just the cover story. They are in essence PR agencies for the power structure, not journalistic enterprises.

The last objection before confronting this fact is that the media are journalists, just not respectable ones: that they’re governed only by views, attention, and money – presumably meaning that of their audience.

They aren’t, or at least don’t have to be. Their money comes from corporate sponsors, the owners of many of whom also own the small handful of media conglomerates themselves, or in any case have heavily overlapping interests. It’s a closed-circuit funding mechanism that has nothing to do with the people, their values, or their desires. If no one watches, no one subscribes, no one believes, and no one cares, they will still get money from their advertisers/owners, and still be able to renew their broadcast licenses, put on slick productions, and shove ‘the messaging’ down our throats on a massive scale.

Of course there is a point where it just doesn’t work anymore, and we may be there already, but the size of the gap between a reality and an illusion of informational authority can be difficult to discern. Even if a person doesn’t believe, if he or she believes that others believe, that in itself is a powerful thing.

3/24/19- After Thirty Months, the Trump-Russia Hoax Finally Peters Out

Mueller’s ‘special investigation’ cost $25+ million and the subject hogged the media / propaganda coverage for two-and-a-half years (link to funny and disturbing ‘mashup’ of media talking points), since the intense coverage of ‘Russian meddling’ began well before Trump was even elected. The Mighty Wurlitzer and its many echoers flatulated a mind-boggling 533,074 articles on the subject, 93% of them accusatory / negative. (And I have little doubt the wind-down was held off to coincide with the start of 2020 election coverage, which has by now gotten fully into gear.)

The wide-ranging probe found that ‘the Russians,’ i.e. thirteen individuals from Russia who by all inquiries and appearances had nothing whatsoever to personally do with Trump, spent around $100,000 on social media (link) – i.e. the fixer-upper bungalow you drove by this morning, or what Rachel Maddow makes every 3 days; or Hillary in the first 7 minutes of a Goldman Sachs speech – a piddling amount when unknown billions are spent unofficially and officially on each side, and where Wall Street alone spent at least $2 billion to influence the election (20,000 times more than $100k). That’s it; and that Cohen and Manafort committed tax violations that had nothing whatsoever to do with Russia or Trump.

It could probably be construed that groups from just about any medium or large foreign nation, ‘the Canadians,’ ‘the Koreans,’ etc. lobbied for a political candidate. A single foreign interest, e.g. a global corporation based in X nation that might be affected by a tariff, regulation, or some other policy change, would in a heartbeat and in all likelihood did spend a comparable or much greater amount to ‘influence the election.’

Meanwhile, Biden’s family are up to their eyeballs in politically enabled Ukrainian wealth gotten in the midst of the Crimean dispute, and the Clinton Foundation did indeed collude with the Russian government for an amount more than 1000x larger than the aforementioned, non-Trump-linked parties spent (link) (link).

Whether or not, or to what extent, Trump is ultimately part of a bigger establishment game, is there anyone left who denies the ‘conspiracy theory’ of a Deep State or permanent government, which the media is an integral part of and which (whether or not it was part of some plan) throws a tantrum any time it doesn’t get what it wants, and fights tooth and nail to block it?

The dreadful question is, what will the media-intel complex’s next propaganda theme or distraction be? Now that ISIS is gone, a major false flag blamed on ‘sleeper cell,’ allegedly Iran-linked ISIS members? With any luck, they will cool it for a while and make an attempt to at least act like real journalists and sweep together their pulverized credibility, though sadly I’m not holding my breath.

3/21/19- New Zealand Blocks URLs That Discuss Fake Christchurch Shooting

In terms of external perceptions, there were few countries that could confidently sport the ‘developed’ label more than New Zealand, not that I was ever convinced; but that veil has dropped. A few days ago the government began banning URLs, not only of those who were sharing videos, but merely allowing discussion of their dubious ‘event,’ in some cases just in the comments sections (e.g. Zero Hedge). The move was claimed to be needed to ‘protect consumers.’ (In the US we’ve had censorship for years via the fake-private, intel-bedfellow social media and search giants, but at least lip service is paid by the government, and websites themselves aren’t banned.)

Censorship is for the dumb, desperate, and/or in decline. Formidable, talented regimes have, at least historically, been able to win hearts and minds and produce effective propaganda. That Western governments are increasingly resorting to it is both promising and worrying.

Frank Zappa once very truthfully said: “The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, pull back the curtains, move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” The illusion is disappearing in the West, and free-range ‘consumer’ serfdom is coming more clearly into view.

The willingness of ‘developed’ governments to take over the electronic and information realms at the drop of a hat and dispense with free-speech should highlight the importance of restoring paper ballots. A government that is willing to censor – not to mention far more outrageously stage or fake the events in question themselves – cannot be trusted to hold legitimate elections. Without the ability to spread information and mobilize our fellow citizens in real elections, we can’t call ourselves a democracy.

3/20/19- ‘Homo Floresiensis’ and Earth’s Forgotten Peoples, Living and Dead

The Trans-Atlantic Deception post documented the establishment’s hiding of the worldwide extent of ‘black’ ethnicities, including in America. Some of these groups – e.g. in India (Gond), Thailand (Mani), and the Philippines (Aeta) – are still with us [i.e. in their original identities], numbering in only the hundreds or thousands. Another hidden story, though, which may or may not be related, is the centuries- or perhaps millennia-long worldwide extinction of small or ‘pygmy’ peoples.

The mainstream narrative consists of two parts: one, that there are African pygmies, and secondly, that there was an unrelated, long-extinct ‘hobbit’ race called homo floresiensis that existed on one small island of Indonesia, who supposedly came to an end 60,000 years ago. But many other parts of the world have far more recent pygmy legends or realities, including Taiwan, China, India, Myanmar, Australia, Polynesia,Japan, Spain, Morocco, England, Scotland, Scandinavia, and possibly Poland and parts of Eastern Europe, along with the aforementioned negrito peoples throughout Southeast Asia and Oceania, who I would include with them. Folklorist and antiquarian David MacRitchie documented a very short, long-bearded, dark-skinned race in early English and Scottish histories, described similarly to the extinct-as-separate-ethnicity Ainu people of Japan and said to have populated the British isles, if not broader Europe, prior to and for a time after the arrival of Caledonians aka Aryans. Many and disparate histories suggest the general timeframe we are dealing with – as far as last contact with these peoples – is 0 to 2,000 years in the past, not the abstract, more politically digestible 60,000.

MacRitchie believed pygmies of the British isles and their interactions with the first white migrants from Asia were the basis for European and worldwide fairy, dwarf, and elf mythologies. Since the most palpable indications of these peoples are in island nations, inaccessible forest and swamp areas, and remote mountain regions, it seems certain they were on the mainland also, perhaps everywhere, but went extinct there sooner. A stunning example is from Australia, where the existence of pygmies throughout Queensland (link), and their genocide or ‘extinction’ in the 1950s and 60s, has been completely blacked out (link), with most of the population then and now, even historians, unaware that it took place; though not too stunning, as Americans remain just as or more unaware of aspects of our past.

One of the last living pygmy societies outside Africa are the Taron people in the Himalayan region of northern Myanmar, who average 4’3″ in height. The Derung people of China (likely the same word, via pinyin) are said by some to be related, though they aren’t as short in stature. Their story is tragic: they chose extinction in recent decades when baby after baby was born with congenital mental and physical problems, and though they recently numbered in the dozens are today fewer than five. What went wrong after thousands of years? Was it natural, or intentional as in other places?

Historical accounts tell of common characteristics across pygmy cultures: peaceful, harmonious, clever, musical, resourceful, stable, healthy and not congenitally ill; not utopian but nevertheless described as the preceding; yet subjected to hatred, discrimination, slavery, and genocide (ongoing in Africa, often at the behest of corporate interests) upon contact and infiltration by larger humans. Parallels with Tolkien’s hobbits are strong, and I suspect that the author’s works will turn out to ring truer than believed, whether as a closely conforming, intentional allegory of the not so distant past, or, I’d even leave open, an unseen reality somewhere in the present, call me crazy if you want; the latter isn’t my belief, but I leave it an open mind. It’s peculiar that the extent of these small-person societies is never mentioned in anthropology or history, from the high school level through university. To me, this all all bears consideration and investigation as humanity steams along and imperial means continue justifying nebulous, dubious ends. I could draw some connections to ‘big-ism’ (i.e. the notions of a mild big/tall supremacy of sorts, which I consider to be unfounded since in both group and individual senses, there is no size between say 4′ and 7′ where, assuming normal proportions as the pygmies have, any basic human survival functions become disabled or enabled, and there are both advantages and disadvantages of being short, medium, and tall; not to imply that survival ability is how I think people should be valued), problems with American culture, and the need for perpetual growth, but that tangent would be the subject for a longer post. Whatever this neglected history’s implications and broader relationships, its being known is important.

3/19/19- Christchurch Video Footage Strongly Suggests Another Fake or Engineered Event

People who downloaded the Christchurch video footage have been charged by NZ authorities, and a man who shared it was charged with a felony and is being held without bail. Someone I know, having seen crime videos before, decided to watch the first minute or two, and as expected, its joining dozens of other events as a hoax of some kind seems certain.

Anyone familiar with first-person shooter games knows that since the earliest days of Wolfenstein 3D, an ever-present, characteristic feature has been the ability to pick up weapons or ammo off the ground, which are just waiting there for the player. The video begins with the man getting ready to enter, a frame many have seen. He ‘shoots’ one man at the door, then walks in. It’s clear no shooting elsewhere has occurred, yet 30 feet into the building is a high-capacity magazine just lying in the middle of the hallway, in plain view, as it would be in a video game. The shooter intently stops, picks it up, and loads it into his gun, perfectly mimicking the movements and perspective of a video game shooter, then continues on.

I’ve described the other indications of fakery but the totally unnecessary magazine stunt was enough to tell us this was a hoax, or staged event of some kind; again, they are messing with us. The reasons may be many, and I’ll leave you to ponder on them.

3/18/19- The Fake Shooting Lottery

The alleged NZ shooter’s politics are closest to the Green party, and his past would seem to indicate great interest in and appreciation for foreign, particularly Muslim societies and cultures. Yet on the left, podcasters lament the growing danger of alt/far-right xenophobic white nationalists. On the right, talk hosts scratch their heads and muse whether bogeyman ‘leftists’ engineered the attack [a real, deadly one] to vilify right-wing ideology, where again, the shooter isn’t really on the right. A third possibility and likelihood is that the shooting and shooter are fake, and that events like these never or rarely make sense because they are constructed in randomized, wheel of fortune or lottery fashion, or written like Family Guy episodes.

Draw a ball from each of the following bins:

Politics: Centrist-strong left/Green-strong right

Sub-category: Anarchist-totalitarian-moderate

Ethnicity: White-black-Hispanic-Asian

Religion: Christian-Muslim-Jewish-Buddhist-Atheist

Sexual orientation: Straight-gay-trans

Age: Young-Middle-Older-Old

Attack method: Bombing-shooting-knife attack-vehicle attack

Attack venue: Sporting event-mall-concert-church-synagogue-mosque

After debating whether or not it was a terrorist attack and airing reports of multiple shooters, adding a sense of 3-D reality to the 2-D fakeness, we’ll announce this week’s winners:

Centrist moderate gay Buddhist Asian 70-year-old shoots up a concert.

Green totalitarian trans atheist black 20-year-old bombs a mosque.

Right-leaning moderate straight white Christian 45-year-old goes on truck rampage in church parking lot.

The message:

Anyone and everyone can suddenly ‘snap’ and turn into an ‘active shooter,’ and then off themselves in a bathroom stall. Be wary of your neighbors and count on the government for protection. Keep safe by staying indoors and interfacing with TV/internet instead of other people.

As these events unfold, which is taking longer as the censorship of discussion and amateur reportage gets tighter and tighter (YouTube is now not only removing virtually all videos questioning the event’s authenticity, but on the few they allow to stay up [link; safe for work; haven’t watched all and don’t necessarily endorse, just posting to show YouTube response], are also blocking discussion by shutting down comment sections, hiding view counts, and disabling sharing), I always initially leave open the possibility a given event is fully real, or a ‘hot’ Gladio-B-style staged event, and am speaking generally. But with 90-95% or more of them inorganic in one way or the other, the chances of this and any future event being genuine are extremely and increasingly slim.

There’s a reason why they’d produce these events in such a strange fashion: one is to not seem too predictable or formulaic. But the main reason is that while certain groups are targeted at certain times, the enemy must ultimately become everyone, since these events are only the means to the means of total tracking and surveillance to an end of total enslavement: stifled dissent, impossible rebellion, unlimited taxation and inflation, unchecked social engineering.

3/16/19- The Mandela Effect: A Simple Explanation, Leading to Some Complicated Questions

In parts of the ‘deep conspiracy’ realm where things like valid questions around the Earth’s shape and origins are asked, a frequent topic is the Mandela Effect, which you can look up if unfamiliar. It’s an interesting phenomenon, but involves no ‘glitch in the matrix’ or some such. All anyone has to do to prove that, as well as one can expect to prove anything, is to find someone with an attic full of old things, look for that physical VHS tape, children’s book, etc., and see what it said then and says now; theory dashed.

What I view as the likely correct explanation for the effect is that people have a tendency to make things their own. Recounting popular restaurants, bars, or stores in my past, people had a strong tendency to alter the name slightly, in a way that rolled off the tongue better, something which may have also come from the configuration of the sign and prominence of certain words. Though my own examples are escaping me at the moment, a place called ‘Romano Pizza’ might turn into ‘Romano’s.’ ‘Ray’s Mexican Restaurant and Taco Stop’ might become ‘Taco Stop,’ with the true, full wording forgotten and ignored even though it has been right on the building all the while. All it takes is one person to make the twist and it can snowball into permanence.

A question potentially pertinent to this is why certain combinations of letters and words delivered in a certain fashion are more appealing, so much so to completely wipe away their true, actual arrangement. In the vein of the potential role of non-human mathematics that was discussed in the recent post, it seems possible that languages themselves may be operating on unknown principles, and even have been inspired or planned by non-human elements. This may seem a long stretch and to have ‘escalated quickly’ (which itself is a Mandela example, the original Anchorman phrasing different in cadence from the meme, which puts the emphasis on the word that) into conspiracy talk, but a cursory glance at coding systems like gematria and isopsephy, subjects unfortunately co-opted heavily by disinformation agents, will show that there is most certainly something there, even in cases when nothing should be, i.e. that Modern English words match for concepts that predate Modern English or even Old English. The same might be true of music, that not only the artist’s whim but some unknown code may be unconsciously accessed and at play, perhaps one beyond the reach of conscious human intelligence. A related point is that Leibniz theorized “music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting,” which is far too reductionist for me but seems to carry some validity.

3/15/19- Christchurch NZ Shooting: So Far, Apparently Fake or Staged

As noted many times, the crime category of mass shooting, like airplane terrorism, has been made up out of whole cloth by the shadow government of the US and other Western countries to achieve social and political objectives. The overwhelming majority are not organic, with a few copycats making up the remainder. The events never benefit the alleged terrorist group, only the government. Right out of the gate, there are several indications something is amiss, and that this is engineered-as-usual already seems exceedingly likely. I’d usually classify it as fake, but in this case I leave the door open for staged, since the shadow government that rules the West has historically had no qualms with killing Middle-Easterner civilians in large numbers.

1) All discussion of the alleged shooting that does not conform to establishment narratives is being censored, as has become the norm in the wake of fake and staged events.

2) All video of the alleged shooting has been removed from streaming sites minor and major alike, with it available only in torrent form from suspect websites. There is no law against publishing video of homicides, evidenced by the thousands and thousands of videos on YouTube that show lethal police shootings, hold-ups, gang hits, etc. Not only this, but the government of New Zealand has asserted that sharing or even viewing evidence that the massacre occurred is itself terrorism.

3) Text of the alleged manifesto has been removed from the internet, leaving us with no insight to a motive.

4) Many viewers who were able to see the footage before it was removed report that it appears to show blanks being fired towards people lying on the ground, with no blood, exit wounds, debris, or any other reaction, which has been an M.O. in other ‘mass casualty’ drills, like the fake Las Vegas shooting.

5) Images of the event I’ve seen thus far reflect past drill-cast-as reality events: blasé emergency workers, lack of emotion by bystanders, and no visual evidence a crime has been committed, only that emergency personnel are present at a scene.

These situations are tricky, because I don’t think anyone wants what border on snuff films to be normalized or legalized. But sadly we live in a context where:

1) Any person who is willing to confront the evidence knows, with 100.0% certainty, that certain parties in the US and other NATO nations have faked and likely continue to fake ‘tragedies’ like shootings and bombings, among other kinds, then use the events as pretexts to strip the citizenry of important rights and liberties. Shadow government elements within the democratic government are at the very least complicit in these events’ cover-up, if not, as is more likely, staging them themselves, probably under the cover story of classified training exercises for greater preparedness, at the expense of public deception.

2) Unlike in crimes of the past, the government and media refuse to provide the public with any indication, other than their word, that said events did in fact occur as reported. For example, police in Nice confiscated all CCTV video of the alleged truck attack, while showing the public no video proof it happened (having myself been there, the official story is completely and utterly ridiculous) and Connecticut banned the release of any photos or video related to the fake Sandy Hook incident. In the most recent event, we have not even been shown the face of the alleged killer post-arrest.

Given that provably fake events have repeatedly been used to strip rights, the public interest of verifying that the events actually happened far outweighs any offense there might be to the sensibilities of the alleged victims’ families or the citizenry at large.

3/4/19- Bernie Would Get Trounced by Trump

Delusional fervor that ‘Trump is scared of Bernie’ and that Bernie will sail to a landslide victory has been gaining in intensity in recent weeks.

If you look at the primary turnout in states where Bernie beat Hillary, it is tiny relative to the general electorate (e.g. Minnesota, where only 5% of the adult population, and probably a large majority of Bernie supporters, participated in the Democratic primary; few states exceeded 10-12%, meaning only 3-8% or so of adults in a given state took the step of voting for Bernie) and even tinier in terms of electoral-vote heft. Like libertarians, Progressives make up at most 15% of the population, probably closer to 10%. Their concentration is high, even at majority levels, in bluest neighborhoods of deep blue cities of blue states, but these enclaves, from where Bernie fever seems to be sustained, hardly characterize the political and ideological climate of the country at large.

In most of the US, few people will vote for someone who openly identifies as a socialist, and who clearly still sympathizes with relatively ‘full-on,’ failed, large-state socialism in Cuba, USSR, etc. Contrary to hopes on the left, anti-interventionists on the right are probably much more likely to vote for Trump than Sanders, as long as he stays out of war. If Trump were to face Bernie, ‘nose-holding’ would abound and you’d probably get a 60-40ish outcome nationwide; maybe a little better, but in any case, a sound defeat. These doubts don’t reflect my stance on socialism, which I don’t hold as necessarily, absolutely a bad thing, though on the scale of the US it would be; they reflect our political reality, viewed from outside of the two-party circus.

I’d like to see Trump defeated by the right person, but I wouldn’t bet on (or desire) uninspiring Biden, corrupt Harris, or too-left Warren getting by him, nor the low-no recognition Klobuchar. Establishment darling Beto, like Obama and ‘AOC,’ smacks of manufactured celebrity. The other dozen or so have too low a chance to merit comment. Tulsi Gabbard, who sends the establishment into hysterics (with their latest tact to ignore her), is really the only Democratic candidate worth supporting, but her odds of beating back her enemies within her party’s establishment and overcoming the undemocratic ‘superdelegates’ seem very low, and if she pairs with Sanders, his official Socialist identification will sink their ticket.

So as an alternative to likely Trump re-election, that leaves a third-party ticket that’s appealing to the now-majority of independents/ambi-voters, where Gabbard or some other anti-war Democrat teams up with a well known anti-interventionist in the Republican party. Since this is really the only way out of the ‘lesser of two evils’ duopoly, I’ll keep being an occasional broken record on it until it happens. Otherwise, expect the pre-election media frenzy to end with different faces, same system, as it has for the last several decades.

3/3/19- Are the Historical Cover-up Artists on the Retreat?

The cover-up of the real history of the Americas continues on, as evidenced by an article in today’s PhiladelphiaInquirer, as well as higher-profile formats, e.g. propaganda films like Black Panther (that characterize blacks as only African in origin).

The article discusses a painting credited to Gilbert Stuart and purported to be of George Washington’s chef Hercules. The two-page article fails to offer any indication of where the painting came from, or why it was ever identified as Washington’s chef. The most likely scenario would seem to be that the painting was found somewhere near Washington’s home and someone just made it up, either for a quick profit or more nefarious reasons. That the Washington connection was made up was concluded by a panel of art historians two years ago, but for some reason their findings were held until now. Still, we must ask why they decided to publish the article at all, and cast light onto the thorny Agostino Brunias painting used by art historians to explain the Stuart-credited painting’s true origin. Are they feeling pressure from the increasing number of Americans who are onto their machinations, and releasing these kinds of limited hangout pieces to try to preserve credibility?

While they publish an image of it today, Yale’s Center for British Arts issued a memo in 1981 (link) calling for the removal of the works of Brunias (an italian artist who lived in England and later the Caribbean, where he depicted colonial life) from public venue, and sale and sequestration into the private market:

I would recommend the sale of the Brunias paintings [which sell for high-4 and 5-figure sums]…for the arguments below: 1. Brunias is not English and very, very minor . . . 4. We have the prints. . .They are not of high quality . . . 6. They have tenuous connection with British Studies but, I suppose, could, if Mr. Mellon were persuaded, be offered to the Afro-American Cultural Center (if they have anywhere to look after them) or to the Ethnography department at the Peabody . . . [memo concludes:] I do not think we ought to stub our toe over such an unimportant pebble.” [where Brunias is one of the primary sources of illustrations from this period]

Joining the countless made-up items that comprise establishment black history is the title of the Brunias painting in question. The Inquirer article, along with establishment-controlled collections like the Met, calls it ‘Free West Indian Dominicans,’ which doesn’t necessarily suggest a native origin for the subjects.

The problem is there’s no evidence Brunias ever gave his work this name, while multiple pieces of evidence establish that the original and all period editions were called ‘Free Natives of Dominica,’ which is clear and dramatically different in meaning. While the Inquirer does use the establishment-approved painting title, the article at least concedes that the subject’s hat is a ‘Caribbean headdress . . . worn by free Dominicans in the West Indies,’ (note: does not refer to DR) which is true, if incomplete; compare the headdress to those seen in the painting of the Yamasee War below. The article concludes with head-scratching, lamenting that we will probably never know anything at all about the subject. Actually, much can be easily deduced: the Stuart subject is in all likelihood a prominent Caribbean Indian, e.g. a chief or cacique, who may or may not have been spared enslavement. American and Caribbean colonial interests overlapped for centuries, so the painting’s ending up in Virginia isn’t surprising.

Though hundreds of proofs of the falseness of establishment black/American history can be found in the post on the home page, I’ll continue to add some interesting tidbits like this as I find them.

3/2/19- Some Interesting Facts on Root Canals

Strong associations exist between dental health and cardiovascular health, as well as with the incidence of a variety of other ailments, e.g. Alzheimers. Specific anaerobic bacteria profiles found in root canal infections have continuously been found to be replicated in arterial plaque, as well as in heart-attack inducing blood clots in people without significant plaque buildup. Dental infections are also strongly correlative/causative with whole-body inflammation and oxidative stress.

Despite their appearance, teeth are more akin to a spongy mass of fibers than a solid, impermeable block. The tubules that make up the teeth of one person would stretch over 100 miles if separated, and there are innumerable points of contact between a tooth’s root canals and the main canal. It thus seems difficult to impossible to isolate root canal infections (which are painless after the procedure since nerves are removed, but often continue to fester) from the body’s blood vessels, and compression of the tooth releases bacteria into the blood stream continually, making infected molars particularly problematic. Certain blood tests such as hs-CRP can illuminate if one is suffering from this.

Since both root canals and implants involve attaching metal posts to the jaw, seemingly removing the ‘natural’ advantage of root canals, extraction of the failed tooth and implantation would appear to be the preferable route. Unfortunately one has to go out of the country to get implants at a price that’s affordable to most people. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the major dental organizations fiercely insist that cheaper root canals carry absolutely no risks, just as they claimed and continue to falsely claim that mercury-amalgam fillings are harmless, with 47% of US dentists still using amalgams. There is a little known, eccentric Australian researcher who makes many compelling suggestions on how to handle amalgam toxicity, as well as on a host of other subjects (link).

Also unfortunately, supplement marketers and implant-specialty dentists have hijacked these valid points of concerns by making wild claims that dental health is the end-all-be-all and sole key to all disease avoidance, when evidence amply indicates otherwise.

3/2/19- A Clarification on Fat Consumption by Indigenous Cultures

Some of the recent posts may have suggested that a very large majority of indigenous cultures lived on high-carb diets, which is a talking point among vegan activists. The claim has some truth and may have held for a plurality of groups, if not a majority, but by no means applied to all. For instance, many ‘extinct as tribe’ [read: black] American groups, particularly in tropical, coastal areas, e.g. Florida and the Sea Islands, subsisted largely on fish and other seafood, with little plant-based caloric input.

I recently looked into the diet of the Jarawa people of the Andaman Islands, one of the few remaining hunter-gatherer groups. It reflects that of many American Indian groups, particularly those who lived in bison ranges, where muscle meat is dried and fat is stored separately, and where animal fats provide a major, valued calorie source, though high consumption of fruit and honey by the Jarawa would certainly ‘kick them out of ketosis’ on a daily basis, preserving the thorough keto debunk.

Most indigenous diets are not known, and the ‘paleo-neo-modern’ anthropological arc theorized by establishment academia has been repeatedly proven false by archaeology, so there isn’t a clear blueprint to follow. I always consider new evidence and reserve the right to be wrong, but a whole-food, high-variety, colorful, high-fiber diet including fruit, nuts, vegetables, legumes, and moderate amounts of animal foods appears to be the best path if one’s primary health values consist of a balance of vitality, longevity, and the avoidance of disease.

2/18/19- Debunking Cyclical/Situational Carbohydrate Consumption: Basal Metabolism and Resting Energy Expenditure

In my opinion I’ve fully debunked the ketogenic diet and ‘fat adaptation’ as an ill advised long-term dietary strategy akin to simulated starvation, that will almost certainly lead to early death, for whatever benefits it may or may not bring along the way (and I concede there may be some very short-term benefits for some people, depending on lifestyle and goals), and has value chiefly as a crash diet for the impatient and low-discipline obese. Fasting on the other hand has proven benefits, but while it is often mentioned in keto promotions as part of a package, doesn’t necessarily share anything at all with it in terms of daily dietary composition. I may distill and condense the scattered posts on keto, which can be found on this page.

Part and parcel with keto and at times paleo are a few misconceptions around carbohydrates. One is that carbs are not an optimal fuel source, and are only needed for exercise. Another is that fat storage primarily comes from overconsumption of carbs, and that fat consumption does not result in fat storage. A third is that insulin is not meant to be frequently produced.

All of these are false or incomplete notions that center around a disregard for resting energy expenditure and the nature of basal metabolism. The body is a furnace that constantly produces heat and requires constant energy input, and the brain needs constant glucose. Just sitting there requires about 2,000 calories a day. An appropriate level of whole-food, low/no-pesticide/herbicide carbohydrates meets these needs, while resulting in zero or negligible fat storage and few or no ill effects. Inappropriate amounts of any macronutrient – fat, carbs or protein – will result in fat storage. Fats are needed for certain body functions, but are more akin to a vitamin or mineral than some kind of superior fuel source. A diet relatively high in whole-food fats (at perhaps up to 50% or so of calories, mostly from nuts, seeds, etc., with a lesser share from animal foods) is likely fine (I myself do not eat a low-fat diet), but positing fat as one’s daily, primary fuel source is problematic. Observe the following:

1) Untold millions have lived long and healthy lives on either a macro-nutritionally balanced (moderate-carb) or high-carb diet, as seen in nearly all ancestral diets with a handful of exceptions, e.g. Inuit, where longevity was low and maladies were many. Fats were never spurned, but weren’t sought in great quantities either.

2) Exceedingly few people have lived past age 80 and few or none over 90 on extremely high-fat and/or -protein diets. To my knowledge there isn’t a single ultra-low-carb advocate, whether or not a longtime practitioner, over age 75-80. I’m not saying a very long life is the be-all end-all, since we all come to an end in this plane sooner or later, but the fact is that most people would prefer a relatively long life.

The main reasons for this are likely that:

A) Very high-fat diets (which we might define as over 60% calories) that lack fiber intake (i.e. where fats come mainly from oil and animal fats) result in excess fat metabolism into cholesterol, greatly elevating blood cholesterol and lipid levels, which oxidize and gradually result in plaque buildup, eventually causing heart disease, stroke, and the litany of problems relating to poor circulation (e.g. low immunity). Ketogenic diets amplify this effect by causing continual breakdown of emergency fat stores into cholesterol, and additionally produce ketoacidosis, indistinguishable from diabetic ketoacidosis, and the negative anion gap also seen in diabetics, which are both tied to a host of problems.
B) Very high protein diets contribute to acidosis and excessive IGF-1 levels, and are strongly linked to accelerated aging and low longevity.

Yes, subsisting overwhelmingly on refined, low/no-fiber carbohydrates is a health disaster, even more so when pairing them with zero-fiber animal foods. But that’s not what most in the ‘health community’ are talking about, aside from the McDougallite 80% starch people. And even McDougall is not 100% wrong, since the low fat content of his diet (as opposed to a diet of junk-food, fat-starch combos) can allow for higher insulin efficiency. Focusing on the effects of the worst carbs in the context of the worst diets is a simplistic cop-out, like vilifying fats as a macronutrient by associating them with a diet of Velveeta and bacon bits.

As for the idea that choosing fat over carbs will produce a leaner, more toned physique: as long as one eats moderate portions, there’s no reason for worry. Personally, my leanest periods and lowest fasting glucose have been on a moderate carbohydrate, moderate or low-moderate fat diet. When calories are burned, and they’re burned every second of the day, they’re gone, whether from exercise or lying on the couch. While sufficient amounts of essential fatty acids and a complete amino profile are indispensable, the vaunting of fat as the undisputed king of macros needs to come to an end. That my daily diet at times, now and before, would be called high-fat by some is beside the point; it’s the rhetoric – amounting to bona fide carb-phobia in some online circles – that’s the issue.

2/12/19- Ralph Northam and Virginia’s First ‘Africans’

Earlier this week controversy erupted when infanticide proponent and Virginia governor Ralph Northam referred to the ‘first indentured servants’ from Africa who are said to have arrived in Virginia in 1619. Hot debate then ensued over whether the first forced laborers in Virginia, whether slave or servant, were European (e.g. Irish) or African, when the answer is neither.

There are a few problems around Northam’s wording:

1) Blacks around the world with no African heritage, from Asia to the Pacific islands to the Americas, were described for centuries as ‘African’ and ‘Ethiopian,’ among other terms, which indicated ethnic features, not a place of birth.

2) There were some actual Africans in Virginia, and many were indeed indentured servants, not always inter-generational slaves. In the Caribbean and North and South America, many Africans came with ship crews as relatively well treated personal or household servants, rather than being stacked by the hundreds below deck as field hands, which seems to be a fabricated idea based upon one endlessly circulated sketch of an alleged slave ship.

3) Around twenty people who had come from somewhere in Maryland and who-knows-where, if anywhere, prior to that were unloaded off a boat in a river tributary near Newport News Virginia in 1619. No direct evidence, only wild conjecture, suggests that they came from Africa. Internal, short-distance transfer of native American slaves by land and over water was common and characteristic of the real American slave trade, and was in all likelihood the case here.

4) As discussed in the Trans-Atlantic Deception post, Virginia historical societies have had plaques commemorating the event changed from ’20 and odd negras’ to ’20 and odd negroes’ in recent decades, and in recent years to ’20 and odd Africans,’ a fraudulent act when the first, quoted only in John Rolfe’s memoirs, is the true wording. ‘Negras’ is significant because from the 16th through the 18th centuries, Spanish and Portuguese colonists, the largest slave-trading groups, commonly referred to American natives as negro and negra, depending on the gender, since the areas of the Americas they first encountered had large black populations. Changing it to ‘negroes’ severs the link to this period.

To put this into a broader historical context, voluminous evidence proves that:

1) Natives in Virginia and surrounding areas were already cultivating tobacco en masse, in an organized fashion

2) Europeans took over these existing agricultural installations, which were sized in the hundreds and thousands of acres, surrounded large towns and cities, and were already interconnected by road networks stretching as far north as Canada and as far south as Central America

3) The natives in this area, and the Southeastern US more broadly, as well as New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, were overwhelmingly of ‘black’ ethnicity, as universally depicted in period illustrations, with non-black natives, primarily concentrated in the Plains and Southwest (and in Latin America primarily as mixed-race peoples), a small minority there.

4) These American natives were referred to variously as ‘negro,’ ‘of African race,’ and ‘African,’ with narratives that they actually came from Africa fabricated in the 20th century.

5) As it is in most cases, the truth is nuanced and grey when it comes to the real heritage of modern-day black Americans, since ample evidence establishes all of the following are correct:

A) The slave trade story is wildly exaggerated and many aspects of it are outright made-up, but there were limited numbers of post-Columbians who were African and of no pre-Columbian American descent
B) There were pre-Columbians (apparently the first Americans) who were ‘black’ as defined today, but were not of African descent. Some are traceable only to America dating back at least tens of thousands of years, while others appear to have migrated from India, East Asia, and the Pacific islands over a period spanning approximately 600-3,000+ years ago.
C) There were pre-Columbians who were not black and of North Asian/Siberian descent
D) There were pre-Columbians who were not black and of East Asian and near-Eastern/European descent
E) There were pre-Columbians who were black and were of West African descent and/or were influenced by pre-Columbian West Africans (esp in the Caribbean but also parts of South and Central America) who arrived much later than indigenous black Americans, probably over a period from 2,500 to 600 years ago.
F) The extent of slave rape and voluntary intermixing with non-black Americans in recent centuries is wildly exaggerated, but some of the latter has occurred, mainly in recent years and decades. The huge chunk of ‘European’ DNA showing up on genetic tests of many black people with no known white ancestors is not from white Europeans, it is indigenous American DNA that is shares European haplogroups but since it is not a reference population, is classified as generic European / Eurasian. As for ‘sub-Saharan’ DNA, most of that is ‘next-closest,’ since again, indigenous black American is not a reference group and therefore is not possible to appear. See the post for more on this topic.

Because all of the above groups intermixed variously before and after European contact (after contact, intermixing with blacks by mixed race and Siberian-descent Indians became legally prohibited), most people in America today who identify as black are probably mixed from all of these groups, not to say equally, but still mixed. Notwithstanding, the evidence suggests the lion’s share of heritage is indigenous American, a fact diametrically opposed to establishment narratives.

Below is a handful of the hundreds of exhibits contained in the Trans-Atlantic Deception post, specifically those dealing with Virginia and the early tobacco industry:

A) Mid-18th century Virginia tobacco ad
B) Cigar store Indian, 1790
C) 18th century Virginia tobacco ad
D) Cigar store Indian, 1870, description reads ‘it does not depict the typical Plains Indian, but rather an Indian of the Powhatan and Pocahantas period’
E) ‘Negro,’ painting of native Peruvian by Baltazar Compañón, Bishop of Trujillo Peru.
F) Figure from Museum De Moriaan (Morian [meaning Moors’] Museum), Gouda Netherlands (its original name, later changed to ‘National Pharmacy Museum,’ now merged with other collections as Gouda Museum, the Morian portion of which primarily features pipes produced in the city to smoke newly introduced American tobacco.
G) Cigar store Indian by William Rush of Philadelphia (ca. 1790), sold for $66,000 at auction (see rear view)
H) Cigar store Indian, provenance unknown (see more)
I) ‘Tinker figurine of wood representing a standing Indian, possibly Powhatan’ (ca. 1750)
J) British Museum description: ‘Tobacco paper; a native American, holding a tankard and long pipe, leaning against sheaves in front of a barrel, a slave gathering sheaves (presumably of tobacco leaves)’ (mid-18th century)
K) ‘Native Temple of Virginia Indians’ (John Ogilby, 1671)
L) Bromley’s tobacco label (ca. 1760)
M) Paper mache cigar store Indian (ca. 1900). The description reads ‘ They appeared in front of tobacco shops, usually over doorways, and were called Black Boys or Virginians . . . Many of these figures, whether they be crafted in wood or later composite, were destroyed due to their now un-politically correct nature and today they prove scarce.’
N) ‘Tobacco Plantation’ (Richard Holmes Laurie, 1823)
O) ‘Easy Negro’ plaque, with Florida Indian headdress (1853): ‘Me’s de boy of all de nation, Me no like to work in de Plantation. Me radder sit wid friend and have a joke, And have a pipe and have a smoke.‘

P, Q) Tobacco ads, early 20th and 19th centuries

R) Full version of Oxford Dictionary (subscription only), defining the word as “a dark-skinned person of any origin. In early U.S. use usually with reference to American Indians”

(Note: Regarding tobacco in particular, there are no images of non-black Indians associated with the tobacco industry in Virginia and elsewhere prior to the late 19th century: most blacks are depicted as natives, i.e. are in native American, non-African dress, and all natives depicted are black.)

See also these highly illuminating exhibits from state laws and census reports:

A) Testimony of South Carolina cotton planter Harry Hammond to Congress, 1901, describing Yamasee Indians, formerly Guale (see Gullah), one of the larger Mississippian or Mound Builder tribes who were the predominant group in the Southeast and Midwest at the time of European contact several centuries prior.
B) 1890 US census, appendix on American Indian populations: “The Yamasee or Jamassi, were one of a small number of isolated tribes, or dark complexion, found widely scattered among the inhabitants of North and South America . Supposed to have been immigrants from Africa prior to European discovery of America. . . . If this is so, it explains why D’Alyon persisted in slave hunting about Beaufort [South Carolina] (1520), these negroes being valuable as laborers, while Indians were worthless. It were strange, too, if negroes first occupied this section where they now predominate.”
C) “The gruesome attack of the Indians on the English, in Carolina, West Indies, on 19 April 1715, and some days after, in which action the barbarians tortured many men” (depicting Yamasee War of South Carolina; Peter Schenk the Younger, 1715)
D) Negro Law of South Carolina (1848), declaring that ‘the race of slave Indians. . .is extinct [and hence the previous part of the proviso (distinguishing slave from free Indians) has no application’] since the last act was passed in 1740; in other words, black natives had by this time been stripped of Indian identity and become labeled as genericized, non-tribal negroes.

NBA Hall of Fame player and coach Isiah Thomas surprisingly was able to leak some of this true history on a live TNT post-game broadcast last year:

2/10/19- Christopher Columbus: Another One for the Fake History Bin

In the extensive post on ‘black history,’ none of which you’ll hear about this month, there were a few asides and appendices that I think merit their own posts but may have been missed by some readers. And with the talk of fake history, black and otherwise, I feel I should offer some good examples of what I mean, and this one satisfies both needs. It’s my contention that one of history’s towering figures, ‘discoverer’ Christopher Columbus, did not exist in name or likely at all, and is an imaginary or composite character meant to act as a lightning rod or effigy of sorts, to apologize for and distract from the various conquerors and slavers aka ‘explorers’ who sacked the Americas in the late 1400s and early 1500s. If he has any link to a real person whose name we do not know, it is likely a loose one.

Cristóbal Colón, Columbus’ name in Catalan, the language of Barcelona where his voyage was commissioned, literally means ‘anointed colonist’ or ‘Christ-bearing colonist.’ The Catalan word Colón, colonist or colonizer, does not come from Columbus or the age of colonialism and long precedes his birth, dating back to Roman times. In modern Castilian aka Spanish and Italian (as Cristoforo Colombo) his name literally translates to ‘Christ-bearing / Christbearer Dove,’ deriving from Latin ‘Columbus’ (dove, masculine), ‘Christus’ (Christ/Anointed) + ferre (to bear). The surname, originating from his wool-weaver father, is supposedly purely incidental, having no relation to these words.

Columbia is the symbolic name for the United States that survived as Washington DC, District of Columbia, essentially means ‘Doveland’ in Latin. Dove is an imprecise term, colloquially referring to a low-pigment variant of a rock dove aka street pigeon, or in the case of weddings and magic acts, an African collared dove aka turtle dove with a similar or same, rare white-color mutation. It is peculiar that in addition to doves, almost all the images around contemporary Christianity are white: doves, lamb (when sheep are rarely white in nature, white being a bred strain), white baptismal garments, white Communion host (representing the body of Christ), white depictions of Jesus and early saints who were in reality brown-skinned Middle Easterners, etc, many significantly darker than today’s. Do I believe this lightening of Christ and Christianity was intentional? Yes. I know this is an uncomfortable suggestion, and some might say that it’s normal for people to depict God like themselves and with Europeans having taken the conquering position, Christ became white. True, but I believe there’s also an agenda at play. The idea would be to have darker-skinned people worship a supremely friendly, generous white man while they were being slaughtered, expropriated, and enslaved by white people, in order to help short-circuit rebellion. Obviously modern-day Christians have nothing whatsoever to do with this agenda, and implying Christianity has perhaps a millennia or more of this kind of baggage isn’t meant to challenge anyone’s faith, but it does raise the possibility of dual systems: organized religion, with worldly political and economic interests, and overarching theology and spirituality. They do not exist as one, rather the latter can be said to have been co-opted and distorted, perhaps beginning at some point in the High MIddle Ages. That organized religion has been abused does not negate its worth, least of all spirituality’s. Similarly, just because some parents abuse their children hardly means family relationships are a bad thing, for an attempt at an analogy.

In April 1493 Columbus’s first letter was supposedly delivered to Luis de Santángel, the finance minister to Ferdinand and Isabella and who is said to have introduced Columbus to them and persuaded them to finance his voyage. The letter announced the discovery of the Americas (“esta carta. . .de las islas halladas en las indias” literal translation: “this letter, on the islands discovered in the Indies,” meaning the East Indies/western Oceania) and was published in a Latin translation in Rome ‘probably in May 1493.’ On May 3rd and 4th 1493, the Bulls of Donation were released by Pope Alexander VI, ordering that “that the Christian religion be exalted and be everywhere increased and spread. . . that barbarous nations be overthrown and brought to the faith itself.” This sanctioned the conquest and conversion of all indigenous peoples and their removal into reducciónes, essentially slave labor and re-education/’culturization’ camps (often euphemized as “indigenous forced labor”) that were mostly run by crown-appointed Jesuit missionaries, with the inmates classified by skin tone and ethnic features and eventually sold off as chattel slaves or released as lower-caste freemen over the subsequent decades.

If one looks into the origin theories around Columbus, there are about twenty of them, built on dozens of inconsistent, low-credibility documents. Yet these competing theories have to be taken seriously given the dubiousness of the evidence underlying the establishment/’official’ biography. I believe the identity of Columbus, while perhaps having some real basis, was for the most part invented by the Spanish crown and its associates and promoted into a salient figure across Europe/the Western world by the Vatican, the site of nearly all publishing at that time, and that the letters were likely forged or doctored after the fact in Europe (they were admittedly written in Europe, after the voyage), based on fiction and the experiences of one or multiple persons of different identities and names. To reiterate, we have an absurdly suggestive name, incomparably cloudy and contradictory birth information, indirect transmission of voyage accounts, and an obscure death. This is clearly not a completely real person. The purpose, as stated above, was to clear the way and take the blame for the thousands of raiders who would follow, and to provide a false foundation for colonial and pre-colonial history by means of a few forged letters. If issuing independently unverifiable tales from a single point of publication to fool the masses seems like a quaint characteristic of the past, consider the stream of hoaxes emanating from NASA, from the Moon missions to Challenger to Mars roving.

Like false flaggery, which is akin to throwing a paper airplane at the teacher and pointing at a friend, these are all simple, mostly grade-school-level concepts at play, but they work:

1) I didn’t break in, the door was already open / He started it.

2) Make them believe we’re gods (or closer to God than they are)

2/5/19- In the ‘Post-Truth Era,’ Real History is Quietly Replacing the Fake, Tin-Pot Censorship Notwithstanding

By now you’ve probably witnessed the frequent lamentation by the establishment media on the ‘post-truth era’ we’re supposedly living in since Trump’s election. Everything and anything is being increasingly questioned by large chunks of the population, and establishment-owned academia has lost much of its sway. Some of the questioning is ridiculous and sloppily handled, but contrary to what we’re being told, much isn’t, and some of the more extreme claims touch on worthwhile lines of inquiry, even if the detailed pictures they posit as fact rest on what are at best vague outlines or mere possibilities. Of course, I’m not remotely setting up Trump as some Moses-like figure for open-mindedness and intellectual exploration, only as a symptom of a society desperate to extricate itself from all vectors of establishment management. To try and wrap up this trend and nip it in the bud, the media needs to lock it into an easily explainable framework, so they associate it with Trump and chauvinism, and use terms like ‘bro science.’

Independent scholar Graham Hancock recently gave a TED talk that amounted to a prelude to relatively fresh, ground-breaking information on Earth’s and thereby humanity’s past. Hancock’s signature argument is that a cataclysm wiped out an advanced human civilization around 12,000 years ago, the well founded case for which washes away much of what is thought to be known about human history and anthropology, and perhaps geology. The assumption that past peoples were advanced is drawn from the fact that they went everywhere, on purpose, and knew everyone, clearly evidenced by shared symbology. Some of Hancock’s assembly of evidence can be found in this three-hour debate on Joe Rogan’s podcast where Hancock and Randall Carlson put forth compelling evidence as stand-in establishment guardian and ‘skeptic’ Michael Shermer is put to shame (link). I’m not aligned with Hancock’s points of greatest emphasis or some of the assumptions his vision rests on, and I absolutely don’t discount everything we’ve been taught about the past, but the major aspects of history and anthropology these true skeptics of history pick apart are indeed in need of examination, deconstruction, and often disposal. The obscure realm we’re left with is more real a history than the ‘settled,’ 100,000-plus-year-long narratives confidently stated in textbooks. So-called historians who remain closed to this buried evidence and intolerant of the unknown and unknowable are essentially playing in the establishment sandbox, and aren’t engaged in much more serious a pursuit than sports commentators.

The TED presentation, published on one of its many subchannels and perhaps arranged by a well meaning lower-level employee, was quickly attached with a warning that the information was ‘outdated’ and ‘outside TED’s curatorial guidelines,’ advising viewers to ignore it in favor of more ‘credible’ sources linked in the video description. YouTube channel Bright Insight, himself a leading YouTube-based source of some of this neglected evidence, covered Hancock’s talk and TED’s disclaimer well in his most recent video (link; starts around 13:45). Channels like Mystery History, with whom like Hancock I also don’t quite align myself, have become demonetized and besieged with selective copyright claims. Caught between a rock and a hard place in the information age – where internet use and digitization allows for surveillance, but also enlightenment, and where counter-messaging/propaganda has become ineffectual compared to earlier decades – ‘open’ governments of the West now feel censorship, shadow and overt, has become necessary, but its employment has been clumsy and transparent, and as always, pushes people in the opposite direction that is desired.

1/30/19- Jussie Smollett: Another Cooked-up ‘Hate Crime’

‘Hey aren’t you that fagg*t n*gger?’ [Douses with bleach] ‘This is MAGA country!’

Give me a break. This increasingly suspect story has all the hallmarks of a manufactured incident: shifting accounts, strained believability, and great establishment benefit. Who are the no-talent scriptwriters coming up with this dreck? Probably the witting and unwitting media-intel henchmen writing network TV shows, whose transparent messaging mirrors what we see in these ‘news’/propaganda-matrix features.

The question we have to ask is, are real hate crimes in the US anything more than exceedingly rare? Like school shootings and airplane terrorism, they border on being a wholly manufactured class of event, where the vast majority are mischaracterized, staged, or faked outright. If anything, ‘hate violence’ is on the wane, and the media talking point of ‘our ever more deeply divided nation’ doesn’t seem to have much basis.

I’ve been throughout the US and in many parts of the world, in countries ‘developed’ and not, and don’t think I’ve ever once witnessed a hate crime, or anything even moving in that direction, and as far as I know, I don’t know anyone who has witnessed one. Insensitive, eminently un-PC comments? Sure. Schoolyard bullying? Absolutely. As for actual violence, I believe nearly all bigots are cowards in real life, who keep their feelings secret to the grave and rarely venture them beyond the keyboard or outside close company. Were Hollywood’s version of reality to be true, [violent] hate crimes would be a commonplace, almost unremarkable street occurrence, but the only place hate crimes seem to reach us is the TV screen.

Matthew Shepard’s murder, which sparked the first hate crime legislation and which continues to be wrongly invoked, was a drug-related, possibly romance-related hit committed by two gay men and set up to look like a hate crime. A very large number of high-profile hate crimes against various minority groups have been clearly shown to be self-inflicted wounds staged for attention and sympathy, and many of the rest were lightly and often inconclusively investigated. While neither I nor anyone I’m aware of has exhaustively studied the subject, I can say that among the highest-profile, somewhere from a near-majority to large majority have been shown to be from dubious to proven fraudulent, as is nearly everything the media says and focuses on. To answer the counter-propaganda that ‘black-on-white’ hate crime is rampant relative to the opposite, I’d contend almost all of these are crimes of opportunity that have almost everything to do with risk/reward, and little to do with race.

Surely there is occasional violence against minority groups. But whenever it starts lacking it is predictably ‘refreshed’ to create the opposite impression, and whether they stage the event themselves, mischaracterize it, or blow it out of proportion, the divide-and-conquer media-intel propaganda machine is almost always behind it. Along with mass shootings, war-trigger events, and space-related accomplishments, alleged incidents of hate-based violence must move into the ‘fake/engineered until proven real’ category.

1/24/19- Riced Cauliflower + Legume = Win as <$1 Bowl Base or Side Dish

I recently tried out what is now a go-to side, or a base for stir-fry/hash-style or ‘bowl-based’ cooking: any type of bean, pea, or lentil mixed with a comparable amount of riced cauliflower (frozen, for convenience) instead of rice, plus sauteed onions (which go with pretty much everything and anything) to add some moisture and sweetness. Cauliflower is much better on the glycemic front, and serves rice’s role of absorbing flavor and breaking up the mushiness of legumes, while carrying more fiber and a much stronger micronutritional punch per calorie. A hearty portion can be added to any meal for under $1 in ingredients, almost guaranteeing reasonable healthiness (or at least health-neutrality) of the meal, unless you go out of your way to spoil it, and from there the possibilities are endless. Of course, with all the bean/legume talk, I’m not necessarily advocating every-meal or even everyday consumption of them, or elimination of rice, but it’s always nice to have some cheap, [IMO] fault-free staples to add to the rotation.

1/22/19- Chemtrails Go Mainstream; and the Catchall Hoax That Is Climate Change

Not long ago, well under ten years, chemtrails were regarded as the exclusive domain of the arch conspiracy theorist. To accuse someone of ‘believing in them’ was thought to be a great insult. And among the dim, detached, and dissonance-intolerant, they’re still in the realm of the non-existent and fantastical. But today, establishment publications and CIA directors openly call for their ‘implementation.’ Endless evidence, however, proves they’ve been happening for at least a decade or two, if not much longer.

Chemtrails are particulate chaff sprayed from planes, consisting primarily of brain-damaging metals like aluminum and barium, which are firmly causative of Down syndrome and dementia. The modern euphemism for them is ‘geoengineering.’ The ostensible goal is to block the sun to stop the greenhouse effect (though it may actually amplify it, bringing their wanted warming to fruition). Life consists of four building blocks: carbon dioxide, sunlight, water, and oxygen. The first two have now been deemed enemies of the state, in the ultimate human conceit of stopping climate change.

As for climate change, sea levels greatly go up, they greatly go down. They were 400 feet lower before, leaving a continent’s worth of previously human-inhabited land underwater. The alleged case for Climate Change is all smoke and mirrors: hurricanes have not in reality gone up, neither have tornadoes or earthquakes. ‘Disasters’ of great magnitude are part of nature’s workings. There has been no warming for 20 years now, since the brief ‘global warming’ spell of the 1960s through the 90s ended. According to bonehead climatologists the world should have ended 4-5++ times already. Some people insist ‘it’s different now,’ and I don’t entirely disagree; but the climate is supposed to shift slightly every so often, perhaps every decade or two. Due to my line of work I’m acutely aware of the daily weather, and it’s still 85-90 in the summer and 30-35 in the winter here, as it has been my whole life. It snows a few times every year, we have dry spells and wet spells, the leaves fall and grow back. Some years seasons seem short, other years long. Not much has really, identifiably changed.

The establishment (and its minions or useful idiots like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) is obsessed with Climate Change because in terms of a basis for world government, it’s the last stop before Fake Alien Encounter / Invasion, which if they fail to execute successfully, would spell their end.

Don’t get me wrong, I almost voted for the Green Party last election and strongly believe in environmental protection and restraints, and being good stewards of the Earth. Reducing pollution and conserving ecosystems are solutions. Climate Change is a tax-and-control scam. And the establishment lives and dies to scam and enslave us, not solve our problems.

Linked here is a YouTube-censored documentary Skyscratch, which provides a wealth of evidence that chemtrails have long been ongoing: Skyscratch: The Geoengineering Cover-up

1/21/19- Revisiting Indian Drummer vs. MAGA Hatters

After viewing more footage, the kids do appear to be rather douchey and likely drunk. On the other hand, they’re 16-year-olds, who tend to act like asses, exponentially so when drinking. But again, they didn’t appear to surround the drummer, and it’s an odd thing, even at a protest, to walk up to people drumming extremely loudly and singing something no one else understands, and drowning out their voices, ostensibly to ‘bring peace.’ The Indians I know wouldn’t think that’s at all a normal thing to do (if they wanted to break up a fight, they would do it like anyone else, by speaking English and attempting to calm and separate the two parties).

What exactly was supposed to happen at that point? If it was just to create a distraction, mission accomplished; but exactly what reaction is to be expected? My previous assumption that this was amidst a ceremony of some kind doesn’t appear to be true, which makes it all the more bizarre.

The drummer Nathan Phillips looks to be a full-time protester who shows up at events around the country, likely with the knowledge of or notice to the media, and picks fights with people he thinks are disrespecting Indians. In this case he was “coming from an Indian rights’ march,” a sphere that’s crawling with shadow-gov spies and agents provocateurs. Was Phillips just a ‘protest-hopping’ Good Samaritan or was he looking for a confrontation? What the reportage should really be about, if anything, is the debate between the MAGA teens and the Israelite group. Phillips had nothing to do with the arguing groups, and he and his drum could be inserted into any context of disagreement between any two groups, which makes the whole encounter smack of a setup cooked up by media-intel scriptwriters.

1/21/19- Tulsi Gabbard and Rand Paul: Join or Die [Politically]

Establishment turd Howard Dean recently condescended to Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, and in my view issued her a veiled threat, by saying ‘I don’t know what she thinks she’s doing’ in throwing her hat in the ring for the presidency (link). Armchair generals on the left and right alike have decried her calls for peace and non-intervention in the Middle East, labeling her ‘President Assad’ for resisting the repeated anti-Assad false flaggery, and attempting to seek diplomacy before bombs and nation-building.

Gabbard is by far the most palatable candidate on the left: pro-peace, pro-civil-liberties, anti-scams. She stands far above grope-happy Joe Biden (link) (see also), corrupt party henchwoman Kamala Harris, tent-fold, too-old Bernie, and the infernal Hillary. As much as I disagree with Gabbard over economic policy, I’d certainly have voted for her over Trump. (Unless Trump ends or restrains the Fed, he’ll be hamstrung from making a big impact economically. Although I have appreciated his less-interventionist foreign policy, bluster aside.)

Rand, for all his compromises, is the best of the high-profile right. He shares ground with Gabbard on war, civil liberties, incarceration and the War on Drugs, and a number of other issues: many of the most important issues, and those that the executive branch can most influence.

Both candidates apparently want to be president. Hopefully neither can be so dumb as to believe they will sail to a nomination; the odds of it being scuttled by the establishment party mafias and the highest-profile radio host and podcaster opinion makers on both sides are sky-high.

For a year or longer I’ve spammed the internet with calls for a Paul-Gabbard third party ticket to break the D/R duopoly, and it seems to have gained some traction, surely with the aid of others. Unless it comes to fruition, 2020 will be another pathetic ‘lesser of two evils’ election. If Rand isn’t interested, Justin Amash could be another viable choice, though his name recognition is far lower.

1/21/19- The Indian Drummer-MAGA Teen Affair: A Whole Lot of Nothing

I have no idea why the Indian drummer was present at the event, or what he was protesting for or against. I have no idea with what ideology or agenda the MAGA hatters were precisely aligned. I haven’t had the time to investigate, and even if the full truth is being reported, it really doesn’t matter. The kids may be disrespectful, delusional punks. On the other hand, the drummer may be senile and out to lunch; political protests, while crucial to a functioning democracy, tend to attract the unhinged. Or more likely, as is almost always the case, the truth of the matter is highly grey.

I know a number of full blooded, reservation-residing Native Americans and am very familiar with some of their ceremonies, having attended them more than once, and I believe all good-natured, well intentioned spiritual practices/actions should be treated with respect, not mocked. The percentage of Americans who would be classed as more ‘pro-Indian’ than me is not high. Were I as a young teenager approached at a street protest by a chanting Indian drummer, I’m not sure how I would react. Should I back away, should I stand and listen, join in myself? While I don’t envision myself being there in a MAGA hat, I might crack a smile just due to the total abnormality of the situation, especially if contagious laughter from friends were to spread.

There is really no evidence the kids did anything other than apparently support Trump and smile. I saw little show of unequivocal disrespect, and no anti-minority comments or chants as reported.

Aside from that, there’s a few complicating factors here:

-High school males who may or may not have had a few drinks have a tendency towards brash and often highly stupid behavior, so strongly that such behavior can be called a normal step in development, and can never be stopped in all its forms. Were it to completely stop, I would be highly concerned.

-Native American imagery and ceremony has long been co-opted by non-Indians to promote political causes that have little or nothing directly or in some cases at all to do with Native American interests.

-In a world where people actually support and vote for a murderous, traitorous political candidate for the world’s most powerful elected office, and some actually pretend she is a paragon of virtue to be admired, can you really blame simple-minded, immature high schoolers for reacting to this absurdity by swinging in the opposite direction? Such is the danger of our intellectually and ethically bankrupt political climate.

So as usual, this seems like a custom-designed/spun scenario exploited by the media-intel complex. It’s almost as if they use these scenarios, in conjunction with their frequent fake and staged events, to divide the American people. Stop being predictable pawns in the establishment media’s predictable machinations: tune them out, and turn them off.

1/20/19- The Case for and Against Legumes

This morning I came across a video by Michael Greger from five years ago (link) citing studies that, like the study from earlier this week, suggest dose-dependent lifespan increases from legumes, where every 20g added (of legumes, not fiber) was associated with an 8% decrease in all-cause death, which is consistent with the higher end of the 6-27% range below. (I don’t eat vegan or endorse all of Greger’s positions, but his channel is chock full of useful information and helps illuminate patterns by the sheer volume of content and studies reviewed). I think it’s time to take a look at the case for and against this class of plants.

The case for: A) Are among the most plentiful and ubiquitous food groups in nature and have been eaten and cultivated for as long as we firmly know anything about human diet B) Do not promote diabetes and may prevent it, where meals of 70-80 grams of carbohydrates produce no harmful spike in blood sugar and do not seem to result in any weight gain C) Reduce high cholesterol, may reverse arterial blockage, and strongly appear to prevent heart disease D) Are consumed across nearly all blue-zone (i.e. highest-longevity) cultures (with the others eating high-fiber diets) E) Characterize diets of past, culturally extinct societies marked by health and high lifespan, where in historical texts legumes are called pulse (today a less common synonym). F) Do not cause intestinal distress or gas if eaten often, as gut bacteria begin to adjust to consumption from immediately to 48 hours. If the body can permanently adapt to something within 2 days, it is indeed a natural thing to eat.

The case against: Mark Sisson and other paleo marketers carved their bookselling niche (something I bought into, and did glean much good information from) in large part from demonizing phytic acid (which means plant-ic acid), which legumes contain but where the compound is dramatically reduced by soaking, and may have benefits such as cancer protection. Meanwhile they touted nuts and seeds, which contain as much or more phytic acid as legumes and grains do, and some far more (e.g. almonds, Brazil nuts, others); because ‘Grok,’ who as mainstream / establishment historical and anthropological narratives begin to crumble may be more a fictional than factual personage. I think Sisson and the Paleo movement helped a lot of people eat better and become more knowledgeable, but at some point you need to separate the wheat from the chaff, the marketing schtick from what belongs with the broader truth.

1/17/19- The ’20/20 [Whole-Food-Based] Fiber Diet’

More on the thrilling subject of dietary fiber:

Last week a long-term, comprehensive study (link; the publication wrongly characterizes whole grains as specifically health-promoting, when only general fiber is referred to) was published concluding that a high-fiber diet (defined in the study as 25-29g/day, which is also the government’s RDA) results in a 15-30% reduction in all-cause mortality. Not only that, but that there was a ‘6-27%’ further all-cause reduction for every additional 8g/day, pretty stunning considering fiber was the only lifestyle factor being measured. I take studies with a grain of salt, since most of them, or the institutions and organizations from which they originate, carry some kind of agenda; nonetheless, they merit at least passing consideration (if just for propaganda awareness purposes), especially since this one is consistent with anecdotal experience and historical and cultural observations. For instance, I don’t believe it’s any coincidence that nearly all ‘blue zone’ cultures consume high amounts of fiber-rich fruit and legumes.

Given the extra benefits of more fiber, shooting for 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x the RDA seems reasonable without risking permanent residence in the bathroom, and should result in substantial protection against major diseases like heart disease and diabetes, potentially approaching total protection, leaving one to be taken out by accidents/homicide, rarer diseases, occupational cancers, or the inevitable end from pneumonia in old age, etc. As for less common diseases, the immune and general health effects of optimum circulation and stable blood sugar undoubtedly lower one’s risk of those illnesses too, hence the all-cause findings. It’s important to note the study didn’t look at supplemental fiber, so a tub of Metamucil or psyllium husk, while maybe doing some good, won’t necessarily confer the same benefit.

Vegetables might be supposed to stand among the best sources, but levels are lower than one would expect, and it’s very difficult to reach even the ‘high’ RDA from them alone; 5-6 servings might only yield 12-15g, with fruit containing slightly more per serving. Only incorporating legumes, or very large amounts of certain grains (which presents weight gain problems), nuts, and seeds, can get one to maximally protective levels. A strategy of getting half from whole fruits, nuts, and vegetables, and half from legumes thus seems the most reasonable, and most health-protective. A can of beans, which might be just one serving/portion to a bigger or even moderate eater, usually contains 20-30g fiber. [Since legumes, which include beans, lentils, split peas, etc., contain far more fiber, more protein, and lower pesticide residues (especially when dealing with crops with glyphosate / Roundup Ready strains) than grains, and are much more strongly associated with good health outcomes than grains, they would seem to be highly preferable. I myself eat most grains but only on occasion, and avoid wheat mainly because of the extreme gluten levels of modern cultivars, and the widespread use of glyphosate in wheat farming].

So if you stick to snacks of whole fruit and nuts, have one or two veggie-heavy meals each day, and eat a can’s worth of beans or lentils with your lunch or dinner (ideally soaked and cooked yourself), shooting for about 20g daily from each source, you should be set on the fiber front, among many others; where with only 20g from one group or the other, you may be lacking. Getting at least 20g of fiber from a variety of fruits, nuts, and vegetables also makes micro-nutritional sufficiency and broad-spectrum cancer protection likely. We can call this the 20/20 diet (or 25/25, 30/40+, depending on your caloric intake and goals). Or for the crossfitters, COBAD (can of beans; a play on the misguided GOMAD). Now that I’ve started my new diet ‘movement,’ book offers are currently being accepted; fortunately there are no products to patent or supplements to sell.

Here’s how this might look over the course of a day:

One can (or equivalent) pinto beans (31g)

6oz riced cauliflower (4g)

1.5 cups broccoli (3.5g)

5 oz dark leafy greens (5g)

1 medium onion (2g)

1 medium tomato (1.5g)

Half medium avocado (5g)

1/2 cup walnuts (2g)

1 cup blueberries (3.5g)

Half large apple (2.5g)

1 medium kiwi (2g)

Total from ‘supersources:’ 31g

Total from other: 31g

1/9/19- Thoughts on the Trump/Pelosi Wall Speeches

Contrary to Pelosi, there’s nothing fundamentally immoral about a wall per se. If there is a village of people who have consensually formed a community and choose to build a wall for defense and to regulate entry, so be it. There’s nothing fearful about one either, beyond a healthy level of caution one may have of external peoples and their intentions.

When you put a wall around a country of 320 million people who live under an unelected, insane shadow government that [now routinely] fakes events custom-designed to destroy civil liberties and regularly deceives and kills its own citizens, has purchased 5 billion hollow point rounds of ammo for no apparent reason, practices military takeover of mock towns that look exactly like American towns, and writes manuals for domestic re-education camps; it gets hairy. There’s also a problem with what I view as an absolute human right to move about the Earth, when you are blocking free movement from ocean to ocean.

If it’s not secretly for it, or just seeking increased division of the people, the shadow government’s opposition to the wall really comes down to one thing: suppression of national sovereignty. At any moment, the people can assume control and end it all: the monetary scam, the imperialist MIC, etc. They don’t want people believing that they have autonomy, that they control their destiny and the land they live on. If a people believe they can control their borders, they also believe they can institute a non-scam monetary system and put an end to debt bondage, and ‘take back’ their governments.

There could also be something of a domino effect, where if an American wall were built, Mexico might increase security on its southern border, maybe build its own wall. And many European leaders and populist/nationalist leaders worldwide might feel emboldened to enact more aggressive migration controls in the wake of a wall success.

Obviously we have a nationwide drug/opiate crisis (with most entering via ports, by car/truck or ship), but I don’t believe there is a migration crisis aside from the engineered caravans that could each be stopped by the military (including by marginally entering Mexico, if they refuse to do anything about it) and require no wall. I happen to have known many illegal immigrants and these days, it’s fairly unusual to hear of a recent arrival. Nearly as many have gone back to their countries to retire (or found living in the US not to be worth it) as remain here and plan to remain (with a huge percentage of those remaining fully committed to retiring in their homelands, building or having built retirement homes, etc.), let alone are coming in. Certainly, net illegal Hispanic immigration appears to be decidedly negative. The strongly positive period seems to have been from 2002-2007 during the housing boom when labor demand soared. The vast majority of Hispanic illegal immigrants who are here now (and plan to stay long-term) have been in the country for more than 10 years (not uncommonly 20+), are ‘out of the shadows’ and on some kind of track for legal residency or citizenship (and thus protected from deportation), and have US-citizen children, almost all of whom speak accent-free English and have never even been to their ancestral homeland. That ship (mass deporting the plan-to-remains) has sailed.

While I remain against the wall, I also view nationalism as one of the only bulwarks against the One Worlder agenda to erode national sovereignty and supersede nations with a world scientific-financial dictatorship, like they attempted to move towards with the failed European project. I don’t always support the nation-state and believe that in most contexts a city-state scale or smaller would be optimal, but that’s not going to happen anytime very soon and nations are what we have. Excepting violence, an ‘any means necessary’ defense against these anti-democratic forces – i.e. situational support for nationalism – must at times be adopted.

Instead of insisting on a wall and nothing else, Trump should promote and exercise national sovereignty by crafting a deal that includes a permanent removal of political and economic incentives to problematic migration: reform of welfare and tax policies (no payouts/refunds to non-citizens/-residents), voter ID, and citizenship reform (15 or 20-year delay for voting rights). If Trump refuses to consider this kind of meaningful reform, our radar should be up that something else is afoot.

1/4/19- It’s Different This Time, Until It’s Gone

In December 2016 I called for a major stock market correction. At the time the Dow was at 19,993. It shot to 26,800 by October 2018, and egg might have appeared to be on my face, but then it sunk to 21,500 bringing what seemed to be fantasy-land 15-16% annualized gains closer down to Earth. Now it’s seemingly rebounding, and some may feel ready to hang in and await the certain, if gradual, climb back up; but will there be one?

Rewinding 30 years to December 1988, the Dow stood at 2,168, after a recovery from the pre-mania 1987 levels. I vaguely remember what things looked like then and the next few years, and aside from the internet – which while aiding the world, has probably had a neutral impact on the domestic economy – they aren’t fundamentally different now. And where consumption and quality have risen in some areas, in others quality-for-money has dropped: many products are weaker, thinner, smaller, for the same adjusted price.

The question to ask with regard to the stock market is: operating on the premise that things have steadily improved, and that a gain is expected at all, what is a reasonable return to expect for taking no personal risk (no liability for company misdeeds, accidents, or debts), locking up no money whatsoever (where you can pull the rug out from the company and sell with no notice), knowing almost nothing about the companies you are invested in (e.g. index and fund investing), and doing absolutely no work? Again: risking, committing, knowing, and doing nothing. Short of being taken as a mark and fleeced for everything, which is probably the most rational expectation, I’d say it’s somewhere between -2% (the approximate return rate of cash) and +3%. What is a reasonable growth rate over a long-ish period of time? I’d say 2-3%, maybe less. The problem is that that rate in stocks has been 9%. People like to feel that they earned the money, that things are normal, when things are WAY into Ponzi territory, where a few get rich, and the rest always get rocked.

So what does a healthy 3% annual gain over 30 years look like in Dow terms: 5,255, a 75% further loss from the recent lows. Sound crazy? Well the Dow stood at ‘just’ 6,500 in 2009, before QE and the PPT stepped in and pumped it back up, perhaps much before it had hit its real low. Looking at all core economic indicators other than stocks: home prices, consumer prices, GDP, wages, they have risen by between 2 and 3% per year, equivalent to 2x to 3x after 30 years. But let’s say a 4% gain year after year was to be expected: Dow 7,031. 5%? 9,369. 6%? 12,451. 7% is 16,503, but that’s deep in the Ponzi zone.

To the 401k’ers who have reaped huge benefits – half of them based on company contributions – it’s time to count your ‘blessings,’ realize your profits, and avoid getting Madoff’d sooner rather than later. If you stay in, understand that this is gambling, not savings and investment, and this is a Fed-run casino, not a free market. And of course, if we get an inflationary scenario, the Dow number will soar while its purchasing power plummets, an empty victory. To those who will ‘stick it through,’ when the bubble gets big enough there isn’t always a comeback: in the Great Depression, stocks took 20 years to rebound. In Japan, they’re still nearly half off their highs of 25 years ago.

For believers of the Trump winning/deals narrative: even granting Trump maximum credit, there’s no softening most of this blow. On the campaign trail he himself said we were in a ‘big, ugly bubble.’ 5,000, 7,000, 9,000 Dow doesn’t mean Armageddon: for most Boomers and other retired/retiring it will just mean goodbye plans of ‘golden’ leisure, hello humble retirement of yore (i.e. 50 years ago). For the rest of us, it will just be back to the [longer] grind.

There are certainly some alternative viewpoints worth considering: that even today, there is nowhere that on all fronts (scale, track record, infrastructure, culture, language, etc.) is as business friendly as the US (probably true; but to what [rapidly shrinking] degree?); I would argue that this reality or notion has already driven the other aforementioned markers (GDP, consumer prices, etc.) to the heights they are now (80% lower than stocks). That the US military and intelligence machine has the world hostage, and any Dollar/US detractors can be punished. That the stock market is likely to be the investment vehicle for more QE, since it can be hidden from the public, where Fed purchases of real estate, food, or consumer goods would be more apparent and politically unviable. That historical scenarios (e.g. Mexican hyperinflation) suggest stocks are a great inflation hedge. All true, and perhaps countervailing forces against Dow <5,000. The question is what of these is already firmly baked into prices, and what is bubble material? I’d say mostly bubble; only invest what you can afford to lose.

1/1/19- Connect Soaring Chinese Diabetes to American Cheeseburger Obesity for a Key to Good Health

There has long raged a debate in the ‘health community’ over the primary cause of diabetes: sugars and starches, or animal fats and proteins? Substantial evidence indicates that it could be either of them. But the primary cause of diabetes strongly appears to instead be a lack of fiber. Where do you get fiber? The whole plant foods that are ubiquitous in nature: fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, legumes. In the context of high fiber, both starches/sugars and animal foods can be safely eaten.

Most vegans and vegetarians I’ve met are in better than average health, and not infrequently in excellent health. But so are most in the loosely defined paleo camp, many also in excellent health, the ones that go heavier on the veggies, fruits, and nuts, and lighter on the bacon and cheese. What members of both of the internet-warring groups generally have the most in common is a high fiber intake.

The fiber of the vegans slows glucose uptake, which prevents insulin overwhelm. Among the paleo, it flushes out excess fat and cholesterol, preventing cellular fat saturation and ‘insulin lockout.’ Typically-high paleo antioxidant consumption cuts down on the oxidation of fat and cholesterol, protecting arteries. Either diet can be healthy and not promote diabetes or heart disease if practiced judiciously. It’s my belief that high fiber, whole-food-based micro-nutritional sufficiency (which itself almost guarantees high fiber), and the avoidance of toxic compounds (pesticides, pollutants, many pharmaceutical drugs, etc.) are by far the three most important dietary factors, and are attainable in a wide variety of cuisines, modern and traditional; given them, the notion of great objective superiority of one diet/movement over another is for the most part an illusion.

But some diets are just bad. Who are in the worst health in America, to be blunt? Those who eat the most animal or oil-based fat and cholesterol – sources of which have no fiber – along with high consumption of fiber-free starches/sugars: frequent eaters of burgers, cheesesteaks, sandwiches, fries, chips, breaded meats, ice cream, etc.. Fiberless fats and carbs are each potential triggers for diabetes, but it usually seems to be these double whammies that push people over the edge. Refined starches also cause inflammation, which oxidizes animals fats and cholesterols, making them more likely to stick to arteries. This dietary subset weighs heavily in the studies that both of the above camps cite: depending on the study, they appear variously as high-meat diabetics or high-starch diabetics, when the ‘two’ groups of study subjects are almost certainly the same people, and serve to tip the studies’ conclusions in one or the other direction.

Referring back to the title, Chinese wealth has risen several fold over the last two decades. Meat consumption has gone up in proportion, with imports now needed to satisfy demand. Diabetes there has also risen sharply, to crisis levels. The cause? Copious amounts of fiberless white rice, paired with much more [fiberless] meat and less [fiber-rich] vegetables: the analog of the American sandwich or burger diet.

So how can one craft a diet avoid these fates? Look to Hispanics with their higher than average longevity, most probably due to their custom of eating beans alongside meats. What do I myself do? Try to incorporate the best of both worlds: beans and legumes ‘from the vegans,’ and healthy fish and meats, nuts, seeds, fruits, greens, and other veggies ‘from the paleo’ (not that the latter had a monopoly on fruits, nuts, and vegetables), often eaten in combination, where fibrous carbs replace the refined.

12/30/18- A Case Against ‘The Wall’

If Trump and Congress wanted to secure the border, they could easily do it: simply station 10,000 armed border agents (a third of them on the clock at a given time) in off-road vehicles every 500 yards (the proposed wall length is 900 miles), at a cost of say $1 billion per year ($100k/year total cost per agent), an amount equal to just 0.1% of the annual ‘defense’/’intelligence’/security theater budgets and less than half as expensive as projected wall maintenance costs, setting aside construction costs. Upon any entries, which could be detected by drones, large teams of border guards could swarm the group and hold them until speedy trial and deportation. This would immediately stop all illegal crossings by foot, rendering them a waste of time and money.

If Trump and Congress wanted to stop abuse of welfare, the medical system, and other public troughs, they could easily do it: just change eligibility requirements and verify SSN at application, let alone before a check goes in the mail. If Trump and Congress wanted to stop the employment of illegal immigrants, they could do so by similar means. Trump could effect these changes himself by appointing sympathizers to Cabinet positions, who could then shape new agency policy and practices.

But he and they don’t apparently want to do any of that. Like gun control – where the sought bans involve guns that kill a tiny percentage of murder victims, yet are formidable against an occupying military – isn’t about guns, but about general control of people, border control also seems to be.

The US is almost like an island. The days of Five-Eyes Canada as a haven for protesters of US policies and ‘draft dodgers’ (i.e. people who don’t want to participate in illegal wars not declared by Congress) have been over for decades. That leaves only the southern border as a practical, affordable, universally available way out. Empires rise and always fall, sometimes spectacularly. A time might come where Americans choose to move themselves and their possessions to Latin America, if only to begin the process to relocate elsewhere. If the shoe were ever on the other foot, the wall supporters would be clamoring for its destruction.

Perhaps the most important civil liberty is the right to leave, to remove oneself from a situation one doesn’t like or support, and a wall puts a potential end to that, given the wrong leadership. To those who say Trump has a mandate, obviously not all popular mandates are valid, and Trump ran on much more than a wall.

While I oppose TDS-linked, blind obstructionism, with which anti-Wall sentiment has much overlap, and I do believe there is an agenda to flood Western countries with foreign migrants – as a means to prop up the perpetual growth model with ‘fresh blood’ amid changing demographics, and introduce greater linguistic and cultural heterogeneity as a means of division or non-cohesion – there are other, less permanent ways to deal with immigration-related problems. If Trump wants his victory and truly wants to stop illegal entry and reduce its costs, there are many other ways to achieve it, and yes, they do work.

But as for me personally, I don’t support drones and armies of border patrolmen either. Solving immigration problems requires only the will of our so called representatives to remove economic (stopping welfare payouts) and political incentives (instituting voter ID and restricting voting rights perhaps for 20 or so years, comparable to Switzerland). At that point only immigrants with needed skills and/or a non-state support network will come, and immigration will self-regulate. It worked before and will work again.

The continued argument that a voter ID requirement is discriminatory is out of touch and condescending to blacks and other minorities. Maybe it applied to 80-year-olds in 1960s rural Mississippi. Today, all people who vote also have a photo ID.

12/20/18- Reuters: ‘In Syria Retreat, Trump Rebuffs Top Advisers and Blindsides US Commanders’

What appears to have happened in Syria is that the funding and management of ISIS by its Western-intelligence creators that we saw under most of the Obama administration all but stopped shortly after Trump took office, allowing Syria’s democratically elected president Assad to retake his shattered nation and begin to rebuild. The Western power structure is hell bent on a destabilized, non-secular Middle East to preserve a Western role of policeman in the region, and ISIS was their latest device.

It’s hard to cast the ‘retreat’ in a negative light. Whatever you think of his persona and red-button bluster, Trump, in terms of his actual record, has been the best president on foreign policy in almost 40 years. That’s not necessarily saying much; a mild rollback of worldwide US-led terrorism and destabilization would be enough to qualify. And Trump’s ‘rebuilding’ of the $750 billion/yr military (plus hundreds of billions more in ‘intelligence’ and security theater and veterans care costs, adding up to about a cool $1 trillion per year) offsets much of the benefit. With regards to the Kurds in the northeast, I doubt Erdogan will invade once Assad fills the power vacuum. And as for ‘blindsiding’ the troops, true support of the military is bringing them home in safety and sanity to provide actual defense to the nation they agreed to serve.

But I won’t hold my breath before the shadow government throws a tantrum and sabotages Syria and/or the wider region in hopes of drawing renewed US intervention. Staged Iran-linked chemical attack in 3, 2, 1…?

12/19/18- In the Shadows of the Shadow Government: FM 3-39.40 and Domestic Re-education Camps

Since 9/11, a hybrid fake-staged event perpetrated by American and foreign shadow-government elements in which there were no Muslim hijackers or passenger planes, we’ve seen several abhorrent, anti-American pieces of legislation and the erosion of civil liberties. For example:

NDAA 2012:

-Legalized indefinite detention and assassination of US citizens who are suspected terrorists

-No requirement to disclose why, how, or even if a person was/is detained or assassinated

NDAA 2013:

-Legalized the use of propaganda inside the US against US citizens, who were previously ‘inadvertently’ targeted by propaganda allegedly meant primarily for a foreign audience

These developments are almost universally known in the ‘conspiracy community.’ But others – chiefly in the form of field manuals and training exercise instructions, or video footage of exercises (where, for instance, soldiers storm mock American towns and arrest protesting residents) – have been mostly forgotten with the passage of time, such as the Army’s FM 3-39.40 ‘Internment and Resettlement Operations’ leaked in 2012. The field manual describes the operation of re-education camps consisting partially or entirely of domestic, US-citizen detainees. We’ve seen a lot on Chinese internment camps recently, but the US has at least one 147-page blueprint for its own. Here are some excerpts:

Psychological Operations Officer [the re-education prison warden]

3-55. The PSYOP officer in charge of supporting I/R [internment/resettlement] operations serves as the special staff officer responsible for PSYOP. The PSYOP officer advises the military police commander on the psychological impact of military police or MI actions to prevent misunderstandings and disturbances by detainees and DCs. The supporting I/R PSYOP team has two missions that reduce the need to divert military police assets to maintain security in the I/R facility. (See appendix J.) The team:

-Assists the military police force in controlling detainees and DCs [displaced citizens].

–Introduces detainees or DCs to U.S. and multinational policy. The PSYOP team also supports the military police custodial mission in the I/R facility.

–Develops PSYOP products that are designed to pacify and acclimate detainees or DCs to accept U.S. I/R facility authority and regulations.

-Gains the cooperation of detainees or DCs to reduce the number of guards needed.

–Identifies malcontents, trained agitators, and political leaders within the facility who may try to organize resistance or create disturbances.

-Develops and executes indoctrination programs to reduce or remove antagonistic attitudes.

–Identifies political activists.

-Provides loudspeaker support (such as administrative announcements and facility instructions when necessary).

-Helps the military police commander control detainee and DC populations during emergencies.

-Plans and executes a PSYOP program that produces an understanding and appreciation of U.S. policies and actions.

Rehabilitation of U.S. Military Prisoners and Detainees .

The rehabilitation of U.S. military prisoners has long been practiced . . . These new detention procedures are based on rehabilitation and reeducation programs for Islamic extremists developed in Singapore and Saudi Arabia and incorporate lessons learned from Abu Ghraib and other recent and historical U.S. involvement with detainee operations . . . The rehabilitation of detainees plays a critical role in counterinsurgency operations and benefits the overall counterinsurgency.

Military Police Support to Resettlement 10-40.

Operations typically include controlling civilian movement and providing relief of human suffering . . . The authority to approve resettlement operations within U.S. territories is at the Secretary of Defense level and may require a special exception to Title 18, USC (Posse Comitatus Act).

Agencies Concerned With Internment and Resettlement Operations

U.S. FEDERAL AGENCIES: E-1. The DOD, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other federal agencies provide support for I/R operations . . .

SUPPORT TO CIVIL SUPPORT OPERATIONS: Civil support is the DOD support to U.S. civil authorities for domestic emergencies, and for designated law enforcement and other activities. (JP 3-28) Civil support includes operations that address the consequences of natural or man-made disasters, accidents, terrorist attacks and incidents in the U.S. and its territories.

2-40. The I/R tasks performed in support of civil support operations are similar to those during combat operations, but the techniques and procedures are modified based on the special OE associated with operating within U.S. territory and according to the categories of individuals (primarily DCs) to be housed in I/R facilities. During long-term I/R operations, state and federal agencies will operate within and around I/R facilities within the scope of their capabilities and identified role. Military police commanders must closely coordinate and synchronize their efforts with them especially in cases where civil authority and capabilities have broken down or been destroyed.

Our freedoms are on the books, but so is our enslavement, buried in some executive order or manual. In the way that a police officer can legally commandeer your car in certain circumstances, provisions are in place for executive seizure of all infrastructure, all corporate and personal assets (property, vehicles, bank accounts, etc.), and indeed, all people. The various ’emergency’ trigger events can all be made to happen instead of waited for, which is why it’s so important to be able to critically analyze these events for authenticity.

And of course, just because some jokers at the DoD wrote up a manual for something by no means implies unparalleled disasters and domestic FEMA camps will come to pass, even if they are desired. To the contrary, there isn’t a single historical empire that did not miss the mark on all its grand projections and prognostications, and fail in all its objectives, sinister or otherwise, before too long; such is the nature of the power-mad at the top of the system.

Apologists might say, well what is the federal government supposed to do in the event of an emergency? Shouldn’t they at least have a plan? The federal government, even before nationwide roundups, is already completely outside its Constitutional mandate. If there were some emergency the states and their people should deal with it as they see fit. If the states allow the federal government to help, that help must observe all individual freedoms. There’s no such thing as a ‘modern battlefield’ inside the US. Land is either foreign territory ruled by a foreign power or domestic territory ruled by the Constitution, with law enforced by non-military police.

12/18/18- Nvidia Generates Human Faces That Look [Almost] 100% Real (link)

I was once told that humans lack the ability to imagine a fully original and realistic face, which seemed to be true – but apparently computers can. I don’t believe the faces are yet at 100%, enough to fool human intuition and ‘gut feeling,’ but they may be close enough to get past the casual observer or analyst.

In past posts I’ve gone through the variety of ways deaths could be faked, and identities ‘canceled’ for political or social engineering purposes, e.g. in a shooting or bombing staged just before an election, or a fake crime committed by a problematic group or personality type, etc.

It’s easy to imagine the many ways this and other kinds of deception could be aided by face-generating technology. We’ve also seen how AI can realistically animate a person in video, using sample movements from another person, or samples of past movements of the subject. Artificial intelligence can additionally fabricate speech, once a sufficient number of samples of a person’s voice (e.g. from the NSA, who ‘inadvertently collects’ all text and voice call records) are obtained.

The establishment has provably engineered hundreds of events, including dozens upon dozens that were outright fake. Given their rock-bottom credibility and advanced technological ability, fake-staged-managed until proven real-organic-unmanaged (‘proven’ i.e. establishing an evidence-based level of certainty above reasonable doubt) and suspension of judgment have to become the new model when it comes to interpreting events of great media focus and political or social impact.

12/16/18- Another Year, Another Fake Government Shutdown

Another day comes, another Mueller-Russia circus act dominates the media-intel propaganda sphere aka ‘the news;’ and as another year ends, another fake ‘government shutdown’ looms.

Local (and to a lesser extent, county) governments, via property taxes, provide virtually all of the law, order, and public-y things you encounter on a daily basis: local roads, gas and electric, running water and sewers, police, fire, EMS, schools. Bridges and interstate highways are funded by tolls and gas taxes. Seaports and airports are funded by duties, tariffs, and aircraft/vessel entry fees built into passenger ticket or freight prices. The USPS is almost entirely funded by user fees, as are state and national parks. (See recent post for more on this topic.)

So for starters, none of these things would or at least should be at all affected, since most aren’t on the federal level, and where they are, are essentially self-funding and operated in the budgetary manner of private enterprise.

But even in a so-called shutdown, which happens every few years and threatens to almost annually, the trillion-dollar ‘defense’ machine steams forward, the Treasury owners get their $400B interest payments on time, the politicians get their $200,000 salaries and huge pensions on schedule. Then what actually stops in the dreaded, frequent event of a ‘shutdown’? Only the most visible things, those that annoy the public the most, elicit the most protest, and inflict the most pain: closed national parks and monuments, slowed postal services, crowded airport security lines, etc.

This phenomenon is known as the Washington Monument Syndrome. The term was coined in 1969 by NPS director George Hartzog, who observed that while most of the profligate federal spending continued apace after the supposed shutdown, the NPS was forced by Congress to close all Washington DC monuments, the operation of which constituted a negligible portion of the budget (the nationwide NPS budget is $3B/yr, or 0.07% of federal spending).

——-

A personal anecdote on WMS: One year not long ago during a ‘shutdown’ I was in Utah on a road trip through Zion and Bryce National Parks, and the Route 12 area. At Zion, most trailheads and lookout entry points in the enormous park were ‘blocked’ with cones and caution tape, but no rangers were present. Foreign and American tourists, who had come from great distances and were apparently emboldened by a few initial violators, almost all walked around or ducked under the tape and entered the park anyway, saw the sights and wildlife, and appeared to respect the environment and pick up their trash. As expected, no disasters occurred.

At Bryce Canyon the tact was more aggressive. Rather than manning the main, small lookout area that most tourists came for, the government-pressured NPS took the same number of armed park rangers and blocked the gate, where those same employees could have respected the tourists’ time and money (most of them were Europeans on a long awaited trip), collected entry fees, and managed the lookout point at a profit instead of a loss. Not only that, but they sent up multiple helicopters, at untold expense, to spot ‘trespassers.’ Like at Zion, most visitors followed the lead of some earlier, unknown rebel, parked next to the entrance, and streamed down an alternate path to the canyon rim, and the menacing, circling helicopters, having no way to corral the scattered tourists and no place to land on the rugged terrain, were ignored and ridiculed. Sure, to be fair, the helicopters might have been there partially to ensure that no tourists ventured deep into the park, or put themselves in danger. But had there been a more reasonable approach to the situation than a spiteful, costly, total shutdown of national parks – starting with limited access, at the least – this wouldn’t have been a concern.

12/15/18- Time Magazine Complains 40% of Americans Don’t Plan on a [Toxic, Ineffective] Flu Shot (link)

And other articles note more than half have never gotten one. Hopefully we can get the don’t-plan-to number back near 100%. I’ve never had a flu shot, and in the last ten years have gotten what might have been the flu maybe twice. Meanwhile people who religiously get the shot every year continue to get the flu routinely, sometimes more than once a season, and expose themselves to unnecessary vaccine additives all the while – mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, and many other harmful substances. The flu shot is the most toxic and least effective of all vaccines – so why is the establishment so obsessed with our getting it?

They’ve pushed the agenda through corporate pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS, who having long advertised free flu shots on giant placards outside their stores, recently upped the ante by forcing their cashiers to ask ‘would you like your flu shot?’ at the checkout counter. It isn’t mine, and no, I’ll pass.

12/14/18- Steph Curry Is Right: We Absolutely Haven’t Been to the Moon

I’ve stated a few times recently that the Moon missions were fake without attaching much evidence (which I had already done here before, further back in the post history), focusing more on Mars lately and on the why of space fakery. But in defense of Curry and in opposition to establishment-b**** commentators like Max Kellerman, who called Curry ‘irresponsible,’ a brief rundown of the strongest evidence is needed, each themselves evidence enough:

1) The original moon landing film footage was ‘taped over’ by NASA. The centerpiece of a $200 billion project(inflation-adjusted), of perhaps the greatest [fake] accomplishment in human history, and perhaps the most important [fake] video footage ever, taped over like a bad home movie? Never; give me a break.

2) The rocket and shuttle plans were ‘lost’ by NASA (see also). Many questioned whether the rockets had the fuel and thrust to reach space, and whether the shuttle could protect the astronauts and journey 237,000 miles at high speed. Well those schematics and specifications – again, the results of a $200 billion project, and the key to ‘returning’ – are unavailable, even in copy form. This is because the plans weren’t even theoretically sound, let alone successfully enacted. The rocket only needed to wow the crowd and take the shuttle out of sight of spectators on the ground, then drop it immediately into the ocean where the ‘return’ was filmed in advance and falsely presented later as live footage; it was all rushed, if enormously expensive, theater.

3) All ‘moon rocks’ outside of NASA custody have been proven fake or lost (see also). All of the alleged moon rocks held by museums or privately owned have been proven to be phony upon inspection: unique rock types from Antarctica, petrified wood from the US, meteorites. Those that haven’t been checked have disappeared. The only ‘real examples’ left are under glass, in NASA custody, and not available for independent analysis. With the moon rocks, raw video footage, and rocket plans gone with the wind, there is no direct, physical evidence of the moon landings, only cheesy film props like the lunar lander and spacesuits.

4) Unedited footage shows that NASA faked their only image of the Earth. A black piece of paper with a circular cut-out – in reality only showing a tiny portion of the Earth’s surface, which at their real altitude would have dominated their entire field of view – was used to simulate a distant blue ball with clouds, surrounded by black space. This is the only live video of Earth from the Apollo missions. In the edited version shown to the public, only a few seconds were broadcast. Why fake the shot, why not just wait until reaching a greater distance?

5) We’ve never been back. A perfect first attempt, five more of them in three years, all flawlessly executed, but no returns in 46 years and counting. Surely there would be much more to learn and explore: the geography, the geology, the mineral wealth, the possibility of telescope installations. Settling for a few [fake, terrestrial] rocks on one tiny portion of the surface and calling it a half-century is laughable.

6) The Challenger accident was faked to quiet inquiries into why we hadn’t been back. All of the Challenger astronauts are alive and well, as a recent post demonstrates. By the 1980s, people had begun to wonder when we were going to ‘go back,’ and why we hadn’t yet. The initial explanation was that it was too expensive. After Challenger, NASA was able to claim that they couldn’t put their brave astronauts at risk again, not without good reason. See Snopes’ feeble debunking (link) of the ‘fake sibling technique’ used in the Challenger incident and also employed at Sandy Hook and on 9/11.

7) Several extremely compelling clues point to Stanley Kubrick as the director. Many scenes in The Shining (1980) make reference to the Apollo missions and the stated distance of 237,000 miles, associating the number with a skeleton in the closet. In one of them (link), Danny, while wearing an Apollo 11 sweater (that he wears in no other scene), the vehicles that surround him representing ‘lesser’ earthly endeavors, slowly stands from a crouching position, as if to launch, then walks into the forbidden Room 237 (see also) (which Kubrick changed from the Room 217 in the Stephen King original), the only numbered room in the movie, where the Moon is said to be 237,000 miles away. Jack is Kubrick, and the young-woman-turned-corpse inside 237 (link; maybe NSFW part 1 part 2), whom he embraces under a Moon-like fixture, represents the payoff and his later regrets. Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut, aptly titled, was held after its completion and posthumously released on the 30th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch date (July 16th 1969, 1999, the latter date also that of JFK Jr.’s death). The odds of all this – where Kubrick is said to have nothing at all to do with it; and is not just a random person selected after the fact, but had been long fingered as the Apollo director, where the hoax needed a skilled perpetrator – are immeasurably low.

This is only a small sampling, and several dozen more major exhibits exist, such as the bizarre, shamed demeanor of the actor-astronauts at the first Apollo press conference, where they resemble blushing teenagers called into the principal’s office for misbehavior; or Neil Armstrong’s 25th anniversary speech (‘much left undone’ ‘truth’s protective layers;’ link to full version), after decades of total seclusion from the public eye. The conspiracy critics, typically self-styled champions of reason and empiricism, generally haven’t looked at any of the above evidence, let alone refuted it, focusing instead on weaker points they can explain away more easily.

We never went to the Moon and haven’t gone even 0.01% of the estimated distance, and neither we nor anyone else is going anytime soon. If we do allegedly go sometime soon, it will again be fake.

12/12/18- Can we send the authoritarian tech gurus on a permanent retreat?

Censor-happy Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey just spent ten days meditating in a cave in Myanmar. By all appearances, Jack Dorsey remains an unenlightened, authoritarian ass, like Google’s Eric Schmidt and the other establishment clowns at places like Burning Man and Esalen.

We need to break up the out-of-control, anti-democratic tech monopolies and dispense with their sold out and servile leadership; I’m sure the NSA will welcome them back with open arms. There are plenty of civil libertarians at the higher echelons of IT, and they need to be given a chance to run things in the private sector.

To be clear, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about meditation, prayer, contemplation, ‘spiritual work,’ etc., in and of themselves; but they cannot be used to aid just any purpose.

12/11/18- ‘The future’ (as the media has recently presented it, usually returning to the subject in slow news weeks) is constructed of a few predictable themes, of course with deep ulterior motives:

‘Mind uploading:’ The most frequently repeated theme. Futurists drool that if you manage to live long enough, your mind will be transferred from your dying body to a computer, then downloaded into a cyborg, making you immortal. The problem is the robot won’t be you, it’ll just be an annoying, non-human counterfeit. Your relatives will soon tire of the expensive toy and sell it for parts. The allegedly brilliant people (e.g. Ray Kurzweil) who can’t understand this are more than a few cards short of a deck.

Space travel / Mars colonization: I covered this subject a few posts down. During the fake moon missions, astronauts likely went to somewhere around 100 miles altitude (link), where the Moon has been estimated at 237,000 (and Mars 33 million). The lethal Van Allen radiation belt is at 600 miles, and blocks human travel (link); wearing an Apollo condom suit (link) won’t protect you, when a mere dental X-ray requires a heavy lead apron.

UFOs and alien enemies/friendships: UFOs were unheard of prior to the push for world government, and the number of sightings per year jumped by 281x immediately after the founding of the UN. That’s because UFOs as alien craft don’t exist or have never been seen. What have been seen are classified government aircraft meant to appear or incidentally appearing as otherworldly, with government agents and citizens fabricating the other stories. The reason the shadow government is doing this is that an alien encounter has for decades been planned to ‘unite’ humanity towards a common cause, e.g. an external friend or enemy, and usher in a world government. Few other raisons d’etre are available, with the case for ‘climate change,’ formerly global warming, once a hoped for basis for a UN-levied carbon tax, today more nebulous and less believed than ever. See post.

Sex robots: While I don’t doubt some will resort to sexbots, it’s a pathetic waste of a major part of human existence. That’s all that really needs to be said.

Cashless society/biometric security: An article about cash in Sweden – a totally anomalous nation (and just 0.1% of world population) where huge numbers trust the government (and as another anomaly, have historically done so not entirely without reason) and don’t care about privacy – comes out every week or so. Sweden’s 20% cash transaction rate is said to signal imminent cash extinction. Meanwhile the percentage of cash transaction in the rest of the world sits at about 80%, with no move towards cashlessness, and trust in politicians only declining. Biometric security and phone payments would be a disaster. If you have any kind of liquid wealth, you could be robbed or kidnapped for your all-important phone, and have all credit and debit accounts emptied. With biometrics, you’ll lose an eyeball or fingertip, if they let you live. High-def cameras can already capture fingerprint and iris structure, allowing for 3D-printer replication. At that point your security is forever compromised. Disposable, reproducible, and/or distributed security and payment tokens (e.g. PINs, decryption keys, plastic cards, cash bills) are far more secure than biometric and smartphone payment, and thus more advanced. So why aren’t they being promoted, and are instead being called obsolete? Because they won’t help enslave you. See post.

Let’s repeat: no cash (and later, microchip in body), ‘sex’ with robots, alien threats, ‘climate change,’ world government, Mars theater, promises of fake immortality. These are your permitted expectations and conversation topics. Reading between the lines of these endlessly recycled themes, the real establishment vision becomes clear: unlimited taxation and inflation via the total, unavoidable tracking and surveillance of one’s person and finances (under the guise of counter-terrorism, -piracy, etc.); restricted movement (via things like Agenda 21 and low real wages, as people fantasize about fake Mars colonization and space travel), reduced consciousness (via pollutants, pharmaceuticals), and degraded spirituality.

What the future could eventually hold if the people take more control: free or near-free energy, unrestricted travel, increased but not unlimited lifespans, local economic sovereignty, political decentralization to the desired level, the end of dangerous pollution, the end of extreme poverty and hunger. Of course, there would still be bad intentions, crime, some war, etc., but it could be better than what we have now.

12/10/18- Another Day, Another Mueller-Trump Distraction

Briefly scanning Google News this morning for the media-intel complex’s propaganda themes du jour, I saw that as is the case most days, a Trump-related, relative non-issue topped the list: this time, the Cohen-Stormy Daniels affair.

Trump is obviously a scandalous and insecure person in many ways, the kind of person who gets validation from trolling Miss America dressing rooms and serially ‘dating’ porn stars. The kind who stiffs thousands of businessmen in desperate bids to gain wealth far beyond what any sane person would ever seek. He (allegedly) drinks 12 Diet Cokes a day and wears three-foot ties. Clearly Trump has some issues, and I think most Americans know that now, and knew or assumed it going in.

(Due to widespread, TDS-related tunnel vision, we must include that he was challenged and preceded by others who had issues: a serial-contract-murdering, serial-defrauding, insider-trading, serial adulter-ing, speechbribe-taking aspiring serial war criminal; a suspected-crack-cocaine-abusing, apparently illegally immigrating, suspected-multiple-contract-murdering, sexually harassing, serial adulter-ing, speechbribe-taking serial war criminal; an accomplice in the murder of 3,000 Americans and book-signing war criminal responsible for the deaths of over 1 million innocent Middle Easterners; a serial adulter-ing, serial-raping, serial-contract-murdering, speechbribe-taking serial war criminal; a JFK assassination accomplice/cover-up artist and war criminal responsible for poisoning 250,000 US soldiers; a mass-incarcerating, massive-debt-accruing war criminal; etc. etc. Yes, this is serious, and yes, these descriptions are all basically accurate. I could back this paragraph with a few hundred citations but will leave you to do the research.)

As to whether his payment to Daniels was a campaign finance violation (a relatively minor offense which Obama was found guilty of during his presidency and only fined for, with little or no media commotion), most of Trump’s ‘misconduct’ was not known of prior to his 2016 campaign. So it is entirely plausible he would pay $130k (less than 1/60,000th of his apparent net worth; in any case a negligible portion of his leverable funds) at least in part to hide the scandal from his wife and family, including a young son, as well as to promote a positive and reasonably wholesome public image, on which major hotels and a ‘Middle America’ TV audience depended. Whether or not he would go on to win the election, his dirty laundry was exceedingly more likely to be found and aired during the campaign, hence the timing of the payment.

Short of a recorded statement where Trump says “this payment was for my campaign and nothing else,” this investigative thread is more dog dung, as is everything we’ve seen so far in shadow-government operative and 9/11-cover-up agent Mueller’s 2-year Russia circus, from the Trump-irrelevant Manafort tax charges to the apparently fake Steele dossier to Cohen and his Trump-irrelevant taxi medallion schemes. And even if some kind of damning inculpatory evidence did emerge, Trump was just donating to his own campaign, which if somehow a technical violation due to improper reporting, is generally legal, and hardly a high crime. Due to the illegitimate centralization of wealth (link), we need campaign finance reform, including a repeal of Citizens United. But until then, it’s only fair to take Trump’s violations, if they could be proven, as small potatoes.

The real question in all this is: if Trump is a relative outsider, why won’t they (i.e. the shadow government, the media-intel sphere) let him govern, and if he’s a relative insider who’s playing a part, what are they stalling and setting him up for?

12/5/18 – A Different Perspective on George H.W. Bush

In November 1963, America mourned the brutal, premature death of JFK. In December 2018, it mourned (or at least the media mourned; no one I know seemed too broken up) the only man in America who had no idea where he was or what he was doing when JFK was assassinated (‘somewhere in Texas’), even though he was provably in downtown Dallas at the time according to FBI records, staying at the Dallas Sheraton, an easy three-quarter-mile walk from Dealey Plaza, cooking up red-herring false leads for the media in typical Agency fashion (see link; first response is worth the read): CIA boss George H.W. Bush, the son of Nazi banker Prescott Bush, eulogized by a son who oversaw and likely had knowledge of the greatest crime in American history, the 9/11 false flag attacks. (see also; YouTube version banned yet again)

Bush may have been a fine father, brother, friend, etc., and there I’m sure there are fine people among his ancestors and descendants. But like the warmongering menace McStain wasn’t a good senator, Bush 1 wasn’t a particularly good president, even by US president standards: higher taxes, more fruitless wars (including the pointless First Iraq War which poisoned 250,000 veterans with Gulf War Syndrome in order to funnel tens of billions to the MIC and banks, betray former US puppet Saddam Hussein, and destroy Iraqi oil production to raise oil prices), more of the same. NWO henchman is a better term. If this kind of public life is ‘great, noble, decent, dignified, classy, honorable’ blah blah blah…what isn’t?

12/4/18 – Thoughts on the Merits of Zionism and the Future of West Bank-Gaza Palestinians

Since I’ve mentioned the thorny topic of Zionism, if only incidentally, I’ll offer my thoughts on it, considering how prominent a subject it is in the conspiracy and political blog worlds, if not much here.

For obvious reasons, differing historical interpretations notwithstanding, there is enough argument for a Jewish state, whether the land is in the Levant or somewhere else. Some Jews, like gypsies do, argue that preserving adaptability and trade-mobility have historically enabled the groups to survive longer as groups than most other nations have, and have reminded that nation-states can be targeted by external forces, or become corrupted and self-destruct, and this is an argument against a Jewish state, and probably a superior, if counter-intuitive argument for ultimate national preservation. But in a world that is blanketed entirely by nation-states, it’s hard to argue against the sovereign nation-state as the chosen vehicle.

From a legal property rights standpoint, the claim of Jews to Judea expired 1,400 or so years ago (or 1,800+ depending on perspective). My sense is that in order to have legal standing in the matter, a person must have been directly involved in a property dispute, even if just as a child of the dispossessed. Once all or most who were present for the event grow old and die, the window closes. The most generous legal interpretation might extend it a few more generations, still ancient history.

From a world-peace-and-stability perspective, almost anywhere else (parts of Argentina and Uganda were possibilities prior to the UK’s invitation to the territory after WWI) would have been better. But at this point, what’s done is done. It was founded in that place, it’s not going anywhere, and the current population had nothing personally to do with any of it. Western imperialist powers cherish the geographic choice that was made and were the first to back it, since it ensures that the West/Atlantic power sphere will perpetually be able to insert itself into Eurasia and continue to spend $1T/yr ($1000B) on ‘defense’ of the US ‘and its allies,’ with $3B/yr in aid a negligible cost of doing business. Without instability, tension, and destruction in the Middle East and thereby with a relatively stable Afro-Eurasia, the Americas risk becoming a peripheral island that lacks the geopolitical relevance of a superpower. But when the center of the game board is smashed, as it has been for decades, the edges are put together and the center becomes the Americas.

So it has been the rulers of the US and its closest allies (UK, France) – not the people of those countries, or of Israel, or the rulers of Israel – who have been gained the lion’s share of money and power from the founding of Israel where it is. Western/New World devices for Old World control or destabilization have been in place uninterrupted since the beginnings of ‘the West’ as any kind of identifiable power structure: via the Crusades (1091-1492), the age of exploration and colonialism (1492 to the 1960s), the British conquest of the Ottoman Empire in WWI (1914-1918), and before that war even ended, the UK’s Balfour Declaration in 1917, as well as the continuous acts of ‘liberation’ in other Mideast nations starting with the CIA-managed Iran coup in 1953. By supporting radical elements at every turn, removing secular, democratically elected leaders from power, and sponsoring the rise of Israel and the oil kingdoms, the US-led West has installed both its friends and its enemies in the region. Hopefully the Israeli people won’t meet the same end the other temporary geopolitical friends of treacherous Western-imperialist bastards have.

Setting aside law and diplomacy, which are frequently disregarded in military actions and group conflicts, there have been hundreds upon hundreds of border shifts and conquests in Europe and everywhere else, and while some still take umbrage at the loss of territory, most who live in these places have resigned to the outcome and moved forward, and few outsiders even mention or are necessarily aware of the event, e.g. Germans and western Poland, Poles and Lithuania, etc. Almost no nation-states that exist today were founded in an entirely just or peaceful fashion, including the US. In almost every case of national founding, some people lost ‘their’ land, and believe themselves wronged. Whether right or wrong, Jews fought a war 70 years ago (with smaller conflicts for decades prior to that) and conquered the area they hold today, in the same manner that most other states were founded. If Israelis who have now been there for 2-3+ generations have to leave or submit to a new government, the argument could then be made that all white Americans should go back to Europe or submit to new Indian-nation governance; as could countless similar arguments. War usually isn’t fair, and the war is long over.

If the Palestinian government and people recognize Israel as a nation – the PLO/PA in West Bank [sometimes] has, Hamas in Gaza hasn’t (the possibility of Israeli control of Hamas as an obstacle to a two-state solution must then be explored, where many elements in the Israeli government oppose that direction; including the possibility that the ineffectual rockets and other attacks may be false flag stratagems)- and the conquering nation, they can perhaps then exist as an independent state or as some kind of semi-autonomous, politically separate unit, without federal standing in Israeli matters since Jews would instantly become the minority. Without recognizing Israel, they risk being treated as prisoners of war of sorts. Short of indefinite detention they’d have to fight, leave voluntarily, or be expelled, which are what have been happening in slow motion. Frankly, I think voluntarily moving to another nation, Arab or otherwise, and starting over (as so many defeated groups have done) would be the best option, since Israel holds the cards and will keep the firm power advantage, and the tiny size of the habitable territory guarantees ongoing tensions. Of course Palestinians can think and do what they want, but I’m talking about the most productive path forward.

Obviously I don’t support any acts of brutality by troops at its borders, rhetoric in the vein of ‘one shot two kills,’ or any kind of external subterfuge, but these are separate issues, just as the many atrocities on the US’s hands (or the UK, Australia, Belgium, etc. etc.) over the years aren’t generally used to challenge national legitimacy, if we’re applying the same standards.

12/3/18 – Fury vs. Wilder: Yes, It Was Rigged

I’m an occasional fan of boxing and watched the Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder heavyweight WBC title fight yesterday. Fury is an Irish Traveller from Manchester UK, Wilder is from Alabama. I liked Fury and Wilder about equally, and called a late-round Wilder TKO of Fury beforehand, knowing Wilder’s punching power and will. Both fighters have great heart, are exciting to watch, and while they surely fight for money, are about more than just that (for this fight, Fury gave his whole $10M purse to homeless aid). Gab-gifted Fury had become intensely popular and widely interviewed in the podcast world in the immediate lead-up to the fight.

I’ve never seen a bigger robbery in boxing, or such indefensible, bald-faced bias in any sport in decades, maybe my lifetime (Lewis-Holyfield 1 is a frequent comparison). Fury indisputably won at least nine and possibly ten rounds. Short of a knockout, the win was clinched by the final round: I (and Lennox Lewis, Floyd Mayweather, and other boxing legends who were present) had it 108-100 going into 12: four round-flips away from a draw, which was the official verdict. Wilder’s two knockdowns in 9 and 12 were in the only rounds he won. Devastating punches, but if you get up from them, they don’t mean all that much to the score.

Fury made some controversial comments on several subjects recently. As a result he was banned from boxing for two years, stripped of his belts, and now this. I don’t fully agree or fully disagree with him, his opinions and perspective are not mine, but if we’re going to call this a free society people should be allowed to peacefully say what they think. Fury never called for violence or committed a crime. We saw this with Alex Jones, who I’m not a fan of and who I believe is a counterintelligence asset himself, and the ‘purge’ of countless social media accounts in the last few years. It has become a knee-jerk intolerance of dissent or difference and it is gravely unhealthy for a democratic society. Whether the dissent is right or wrong, ideas that can’t stand to open criticism generally aren’t worth much.

It’s my belief that people unhappy with Fury pulled some strings, and that’s why the record lies that he didn’t win. And no, I’m not necessarily talking about the ‘Zionist media’ comments; there were many potentially aggrieved parties, of all religious stripes, and his opinions on homosexuality, gender dysphoria/transgenderism, and abortion were what had him banned. Clearly there is a strong establishment agenda around these topics, one that is not in line with everyone’s beliefs and sensibilities. Again, my own opinion on them is not in either camp. YouTube has deranked comments with thousands of votes calling the judging fixed, and mainstream coverage has disabled comments.

So that’s what we’re coming to be left with in sports. Mega-corporate-sponsored everything – from stadiums to bowl games to instant replays to locker-room interviews; rigged matches, and mercenary athletes with no connection or loyalty to their host cities, chasing dollars above all else, unfree and in some cases uninterested to voice thoughts of their own, particularly on anything of remote controversy. The public isn’t helping: ‘shut up and play,’ etc.

Like most of the rest of the high-echelon entertainment world these days, a big yawn is what it amounts to; I’ve never been much of a pro sports fan, but now it’s worth even less time and attention.

It goes without saying that Alejandro Rochin is a disgrace to boxing and people of integrity worldwide. At the end of the day, Fury remains the lineal champ. For those who object, ‘who cares, he’s just a boxer,’ if you don’t think athletes, especially undisputed heavyweight champs with mouths on them can influence society, you’re not paying attention. To easily observe that this fight was in fact rigged and nothing else, just watch the first five rounds, though the whole thing is worth a watch. Rochin scored them 5-0 Wilder, while everyone (including Mayweather, Lewis) and his blind grandmother scored them 5-0 or at worst 4-1 Fury. And for those who lament a long KO count, the time from first contact with canvas to standing on feet is 9.5 seconds; this can be measured (and surely was by both sides afterwards) and is not a debatable point. Wilder’s instagram post of the count is either sped up in the beginning, or starts at the instant of the punch, and not a remotely realistic simulation of a typical ref reaction to a potential KO.

11/30/18 – NASA’s Moon Is Arizona and Its Mars Is Canada. Where Will Venus Be, Yellowstone?

I’ve pointed this out before, but like NASA’s Moon was the Arizona desert and a Kubrick film studio, NASA’s Mars is a photoshopped (merely red-tinted) version of Devon Island Canada. There is no exploration of Mars happening now, and there will be no [real] colonization in the foreseeable future. Neither humans nor spacecraft from any country have ever been to either place, at least not anytime in historical memory. Humans have only reached 1/1000th of the theorized distance to the Moon (254 miles vs. 237,000; up to 12,000 miles for spacecraft), let alone 133,000 times farther to the theorized Mars distance (254 versus 33.9 million).

NASA employees who are not in the know are unwittingly viewing footage of Devon Island, and the Mars ‘voyages’ amount to computer simulations built on mathematics derived from a mostly theoretical universe model. Things like the Mars Rover project can easily be accomplished via compartmentation, without revealing that the vehicle will rove only the Earth.

To answer objections that space-related fakery is a Cold War relic, the use of fakery by the shadow government in other arenas hasn’t gone away, and has only gotten worse.

The reasons why they are doing this are endless, but the simplest and one of the biggest is that Mars and Moon deception are just new renditions of the Divine Right of Kings: they glorify the rulers and bolster confidence in them, and sow doubt before any alternative political and economic paths

More specifically, to the extent space hoaxes are believed they empower the religion of Science, as the establishment, in the very long term, attempts to dispense with democracy and bring in a Platonic scientific dictatorship led by unelected, mutually appointed ‘experts.’

And to address the gap between the Apollo missions and present-day hoax production, see the fake Challenger incident from 1986 (which provided an excuse for the now 49 years and counting it has been since the initial fake missions, on the basis of their being too dangerous. Note: in at least some of these cases, shockingly, the people are still going by their pre-fake-death names):

11/25/18 – Revising Human History, part 1: ‘Ancestor Figures’

The photo on the left is a funerary urn from Guerrero Mexico, estimated from 0 AD to 500 AD and believed to be Proto-Toltec in origin, published in a book from 1965. The figure on the right is from southeastern Turkey, known as the Balikligöl Statue, discovered in 1993 a few miles from Göbekli Tepe and estimated by archaeologists to around 9,500 B.C.

This particularly simple and striking comparison stands among hundreds upon hundreds of exhibits that disprove mainstream or ‘consensus’ understandings of human history, including human migration and technological progression, which for the most part rest on academic theories, rather than a broad body of physical evidence.

The civilizational arc proposed in the 20th century – from Paleolithic to Neolithic, etc. – is thoroughly proven to be BS. The Beringia/Clovis-First theory has long been in tatters, with several dozen pre-Clovis sites now unearthed, some in excess of 100,000 years old according to dating methods. Certain ideas and people crossed all oceans and lived on the remotest of islands and in the harshest of climates untold thousands of years ago. They possessed knowledge and abilities official narratives say they couldn’t have, e.g. the Dogon and their astral knowledge. I believe something or someone helped them to expertly navigate and repopulate as they did, perhaps ancestral survivors or preserved knowledge from a lost, advanced civilization.

The framework that increasingly does appear to be correct is ‘pre-diluvian’/pre-Flood – where societies may well have been more advanced than our own – and post-diluvian; or pre-cataclysm and post-cataclysm if you prefer less biblical phrasing. This is not to say Flood/cataclysm timelines match those in the Bible, only that there was such an event(s). Contemporary geological dating methods indicate the most recent one was around 12,500 years ago. The rudimentary tools and technology we have found in the post-cataclysmic age appear to be evidence of relearning, not first learning.

If you refuse to at least entertain these ideas in spite of the enormous and growing tide of evidence in support of them – geological, archaeological, historical/euhemerical, etc. – you risk being less a free thinker, and more a Shermerian/Maherian zealot for the religion called Science, adherence to which is based overwhelmingly in faith in authority, rather than on confidence derived from independent understanding (the lower-case version is an intellectual pursuit that has no agenda, is never settled, defers to no imagined consensus or community, and accepts no assurances from so-called experts).

In addition to the two above, see the following pieces, which are displayed in the Trans-Atlantic Deception post. Most of them are thought to be post-cataclysmic, but all predate ‘discovery’ by ostensibly more advanced Modern (i.e. post-medieval) Europeans, some by millennia (Irkutsk Siberia (2), Easter Island (2), Nigeria, Marquesas Islands (2), Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Peru, Ukraine (2), Armenia, Ethiopia, New Zealand (2), Papua-New Guinea (2), Mongolia, China (2). These poses weren’t in any way cherry-picked; in many of the aforementioned places they are the most common form of human depiction found over periods spanning thousands of years:

11/22/18 – Re-examining the Roots of Crispus Attucks: A ‘Black’ Pokanoket Indian, and the First to Die

Coming off Veterans Day, and now amid race-pandering by talk radio and YouTube personalities about Thanksgiving and its history, it seems an appropriate time to re-examine the life of Crispus Attucks, a Massachusett Indian (likely Wampanoag/Pokanoket, who met the Puritans at Plymouth) and the first person to die in service to the country, in an eminently American way as I see it.

Attucks got in the face of illegitimate, unjust authority, rallied his fellow sailors to protest British rule (with defensive weapons in hand), and was gunned down by crown troops in the Boston Massacre of 1770. This act played a key role in tipping the scales away from hostility and towards eventual war.

Crispus Attucks is also considered an important figure in black history, in addition to Revolutionary history. Indeed, he was seen as black then, and is seen as black now. But who was he and where did he come from? That’s where the record seems to vanish in the fog. Surely there must be ample scholarship around the man, and I set out looking for it. But all I found were children’s books (link) and mostly low-caliber academic texts by little known professors (who were given book deals by big-name publishers), both of which were light on or free of primary-source citations and rigorous review of the available evidence, with some of the academic works written almost as if few would ever read them, but where as ‘credible’ sources from PhDs and known publishers, they could provide a base for a false narrative. Among early black figures, Attucks presents a particular problem to establishment historical narratives for several reasons, mainly how public and well known his act was, and how old his story is and thus close to his indigenous American roots, where most of the others lived in the 19th century, further removed from their prior identity, e.g. Nat Turner.

Attucks is an unusual name I hadn’t seen before, so I started there. From colonial dictionaries I learned that Attuck is the word for deer in the language of the Narragansett Indians and that of other New England tribes. Looking through the rather short Wikipedia article on Attucks (since completely overhauled, in spite of the onslaught of pro-establishment editors) and several other online biographies, I found it peculiar that this fact (or at least speculation) of a specifically Massachusett Indian heritage (as opposed to vague ‘possibly/likely part Native American’ [and thus mostly African] claims) were universally absent. Neither was the certainty of a more general ‘American Indian’ link put forth. If a person’s surname were D’Angelo, Herrmann, or Kim, would they be supposed merely as having ‘possible European/Asian heritage,’ or would a link to Germany/Italy/Korea be safely assumed? I searched Google and Facebook for people with the name Attucks, and to no surprise, they were all ‘African American’ people, mostly residing in the Northeast and New England.

His mother was Nancy Peterattucks, who in primary source material is described as a ‘Natick Indian’ (see Praying Indians) and a negro. But where did he get the name, who was his father? First I thought I’d see what shadow-gov Google had to say:

Yes, the same claim as the children’s books and eighth-grade-level history texts. Prince Yonger was said to be an African who arrived either from Africa or the Caribbean, was eventually freed, and lived in Framingham Mass., where Attucks lived, and may have become Attucks’ stepfather when Attucks was 14 or 15 years old. He is important because Crispus Attucks looked black, and this fact needs a clear and simple explanation. Yet an examination of Framingham histories showed Yonger arrived in Massachusetts in 1725, two years after Attucks was born in 1723, and marriage records showed he didn’t marry Nancy Peterattucks until 1737. He had two children with Nancy in the early 1740s, both of whom took the name Yonger. Other than this second marriage, where he may or may not have served in a stepfather role (not necessarily likely since teenaged Crispus may have been working in a different household at that time) nothing ties him to Attucks or his three blood siblings, or asserts or suggests paternity. Multiple town histories discuss both Yonger and Attucks at considerable, multi-paragraph length, but none state or imply at all that they were father and son, or even co-habited as a mixed family. How could the authors – none of whom were basing their claims on any counter-evidence, aside from the citation-free children’s texts, which strangely enough is where the lie seemingly originated – have missed these easily discoverable problems in the timelines? Having seen this bizarre pattern with other black historical luminaries (where empty claims – usually involving a link to Africa or some African ethnic group – with no basis in evidence become accepted as fact via the layering of low credibility texts), I knew I was onto something and spent the better part of the day exploring further. Like every other well known ‘African’ slave I have encountered, from Toussaint L’Ouverture to Mathieu da Costa to Olaudah Equiano to Frederick Douglass, Crispus Attucks was a loose thread.

Several hours of research turned up many good finds, and painted a clear picture of Attucks: a black person and a former slave, but a fully American man with zero evidence of African descent, and not just a dock worker as the secondary texts claimed, but a whaler like his tribal ancestors. I’ll go over just a few here in the interest of brevity.

From ‘Selected Writings of William Cooper Nell,’ noted 19th-century historian and abolitionist:

[Nell quoting an 1860 letter from a Natick resident, also printed in an 1860 edition of The Liberator newspaper, which read:]

“Several persons are now living in Natick who remember the Attucks family, viz., Cris, who was killed March 5th; Sam, whose name was abbreviated into Sam Attucks, or Smattox; Sal, also known as Slattox; and Peter, called Pea Tattox… my mother, still living, aged 89, remembers Sal in particular, who used to be called the gourd-shell squaw, from the fact that she used to carry her rum in a gourd shell… the whole family are said to be the children of Jacob Peter Attucks… it has been conjectured that they are of Indian blood, but all who knew the descendants describe them as negroes.” The letter continues, “his sister [Sal] used to say that if they had not killed Cris, Cris would have killed them.”

In the vein of Slattox, Pea Tattox, and Smattox: Cris = Cris Peter Attucks = Cris P. Attucks = Crispus. (In what contemporary culture, more than in others, do we see the taking on of nicknames as permanent names of sorts?)

From ‘Muster Roll of the Company . . . at Fort Massachusetts, dated March to Decemcer 11, 1749:’

Moses Peter Attucks, Cent., Negro. . . Leicester [Mass.] (an apparent cousin or uncle of Attucks)

From estate inventory of Joseph Buckminster, 1747:

A negro woman, Nanny [Attucks] (ample evidence proves Nanny Attucks lived on Buckminster’s property)

From History of Framingham (Barry, 1847): Nov. 26 1739, voted that Mr. Henry Emmes and Capt. Thomas Buckminster [former owner of the Attucks family, Attucks meaning deer] be a committee to take care of the preservation of the deer.

Eventually I came across a submission by independent scholar J.B. Fisher of Southern NJ to Potter’s American Historical Record, Volume 1, published 1872 and entitled ‘Who was Crispus Attucks?,’ which, while failing to make some important connections, noted the evidence for only Indian descent, along with descriptions of negro appearance, which Fisher wrongly took as contradictory:

‘First the term ”Mulatto” was applied very loosely up to a late date. In 1834, in the Marshpee Indian case . . . here the terms ”colored person” ”black” and Indian are all synonymous, they all mean Marshpee Indians . . . in 1763, Marshpee [a praying town, now Mashpee Mass.] was incorporated as a district in words as follows: Be it enacted that all lands belonging to the [unbaptized] Indians and [baptized Indian] Mulattos in Marshpee . . . (lengthy passage; see link)

Quoting from ‘Reminisces’ by George T. Hewes, member of the Boston Tea Party:

‘Mr. Pierce remembers Attucks distinctly, though he never saw him before. Attucks, also, who he says was a Nantucket Indian, belonging on board a Whale ship of Mr. Folger’s, then in the harbor (and he remembers distinctly the peculiar noise of a frightful war whoop which he yelled) this Attucks he cautioned to keep off, and be careful.’

Fisher was not aware of several things, established in local histories that were already written: 1) Attucks was in fact a slave 2) Attucks was in fact described by society and government as negro, as well as mulatto. 3) Most of the negroes and mulattoes there were of American descent, not African.

John Adams, second US president, from a trial where as a lawyer he defended the British soldiers: ‘The mob whistling, screaming, and rending like an Indian yell . . . a motley rabble of saucy boys, negros and molattoes, Irish teagues and outlandish Jack Tarrs . . . this Attucks had undertaken to be the hero of the night, and to lead this army with banners, to form them in the first place in Dock Square, and march them up to King Street with their clubs.’

From cross-examination in the trial transcripts: “Question: Did you see a mulatto among the persons who surrounded the soldiers? Answer: I did not observe. Question: Did they seem to be sailors or townsmen? Answer: They were dressed some of them in the habits of sailors. Question: Did you know the Indian who was killed? Answer: No. Question: Did you see any of them press on the soldiers with a cordwood stick? Answer: No.”

From an escaped slave notice in the Boston Gazette, October 1750:

“Ran away from his master William Brown of Framingham, on the 30th of Sept. last, a Molatto Fellow, about 27 Years of Age, named Crispas, 6 Feet 2 Inches high, short curl’d Hair, his Knees nearer together than common; had on a light colour’d Bear-skin Coat, plain brown Fustian Jacket, or brown all-Wool one, new Buckskin Breeches, blue Yarn Stockings, and a checked woolen Shirt”

The following is what appears to be the true biography of Crispus Attucks, as indicated by primary-source evidence exclusively:

1) John Attuck, a Wampanoag/Pokanoket Indian, is hanged by British colonists in King Philip’s War in 1678.

2) Following the war, Massachusetts Indians either flee or if they choose to stay, are forcibly organized into ‘praying towns,’ re-education camps of sorts, are baptized, and become slaves. Attuck’s wife and children are located to praying town Natick Massachusetts. Indian identity is criminalized. For example, calling oneself a Pokanoket Indian was punishable by death in colonial Massachusetts.

3) Descendant Jacob Peter Attucks, likely grandson of John Attuck, marries Indian (described also as negro) and Natick resident Nancy aka Nanny; both are slaves. They move to Framingham at some point and have four children in the 1720s, including Crispus in 1723.

4) Jacob dies, is sold off, or otherwise disappears at some point. Nancy marries Prince Yonger in 1737. They have two children in the 1740s, Phebe Yonger, and a son who died just after birth. Nancy is emancipated by her owner (all Mass. slaves are freed by law in 1780, though most are sold to the Southeast US or Caribbean first; hence the low numbers of blacks and Indians in New England).

5) Crispus Attucks escapes from slavery in 1750 and works in various places as a sailor and whaler, following in the footsteps of his nautical Indian descendants. He assumes different names to avoid detection, e.g. Michael Johnson, eventually returning to work as a whaler and dock worker in Boston, where the Massacre occurs.

Why is Attucks presented only as a black slave and ‘African American,’ and his Indian father, mother, and ‘squaw’ siblings buried? Because at that time, in the mid-18th century especially but also beyond that point, almost all ‘negroes’ and ‘mulattoes’ were simply baptized, Westernized Indians, and most Americans today who would be called black are of considerable Indian/American heritage, if not completely American in many cases, and these two things cannot co-exist in official histories that insist America was a mostly empty continent with a sparse, nomadic, exclusively ‘mongoloid’ population. There is more I lack time to go into (links to be added shortly), but this much is established: as with the most of the rest of ‘black history,’ and much of history in general, the official story of Attucks is a sham.

Below is a sampling of some of the Thanksgiving-related content from the Trans-Atlantic deception post, including this comparison of postcards from 1908 and then 1909, around the time when the Africanization and de-Indianization of American blacks began kicking into a new gear:

11/19/18 – HHS Official Daniel Best Murdered for Challenging Drug Prices, Covered-up as Suicide

(link)

HHS official and father of three Daniel Best was set to lower outrageously high prescription prices by force of government. He was found outside his apartment building’s parking garage, dead from multiple blunt force injuries to the head. Wasn’t a fall. The coroner’s verdict? Suicide. News flash: cops and medical examiners can be corrupted too. Look into Dr. Fahmy Malak.

This is how it works in most of the ‘free’ countries. Be less than acutely problematic to the rulers and buy all the official narratives, and you have nothing to worry about. Be otherwise, and depending how far and how visible/high you go and which method will work, you get surveilled, harassed, discredited, blackmailed, framed, and/or killed, i.e. suicided / ‘robbed’ / accidented / assassinated. Moles get whacked, status quo is preserved, control is maintained. That’s not at all to imply ‘non-moles’ aren’t living good lives and doing good things, but the point stands.

It must be noted that Best was a former Pfizer and CVS Caremark executive who was making $500k/yr prior to his time at HHS, so there may be more to the story. What’s clear is that powerful forces did have a strong motive to kill him and send a message to his replacement, and powerful forces did cover his murder up, presumably because they committed it.

The situation could be otherwise, where this kind of thinly veiled subterfuge didn’t work or work as much, but it would involve more of us using our brains and becoming ‘conspiracy theorists’ (which most of the rest of the world considers having a normal thought process), as an increasing number have already done (evidenced by the comments, where zero readers accept the official version).

11/17/18 – An Attempt at a Fair Look at the Trump Presidency to Date

I’ve seen references to the Trump administration being a ‘sh*tshow,’ and endless pining for the halcyon days of Obama. I don’t get it. I’m no big fan of Trump, but what specifically has happened in Trump’s administration thus far that qualifies as a disaster? Most things have actually improved slightly, or stayed the same, not that I’m content with the state of affairs.

A disaster, if you want to call it that, does loom in the form of an enormous stock price correction and bond/debt crisis (and/or a staged war-trigger event involving Iran, Pakistan, etc.), but neither Trump nor Obama will be to blame; rather, intelligence/media and banking elements (whom I often call the shadow or permanent government) will. On most fronts, the bad things Obama did, Hillary expressly promised to do in spades, so nothing much was averted there.

Economy: About equal, maybe slight advantage Trump

Obama: Avoided presiding over recession due to Fed debt monetization [i.e., increasing; all monetization is debt] via ultra low interest rates. Majority of businesspeople dreaded his lack of touch with private enterprise, where private sector résumé at age 57 remains limited to ‘chooming’ and scooping ice cream in high school.

Trump: Has avoided presiding over recession due to Fed debt monetization via low interest rates (now rising to low-normal levels), and by taking on even greater deficits than Obama. Majority of businesspeople feel like they have more of an ally in Trump, and may be more comfortable making long-term investments, whether or not the comfort is justified. Whenever the decades-in-the-making recession happens, neither president will be primarily to blame.

Hillary: About equal, since it’s the Fed’s game.

Bush: ” “

Foreign policy: Considerable advantage Trump

Trump: Ordered symbolic air strikes in Syria that killed few or none and did little damage. Has made so-far empty threats of retaliation against Syria and North Korea. Said considered forms of whistleblowing to be treasonous. Oversaw virtual elimination of Western-intel creation ISIS in Syria, helping to stabilize Middle East for first time in decades.

Obama: Expanded drone warfare to seven countries and dropped 26k bombs per year on them, oversaw eight years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan (often via mercenaries) while claiming to end those wars. Oversaw provision of ISIS with hundreds of brand-new Toyota trucks, hundreds of millions in cash, and other intel gifts. Ordered assassination of American journalist and his teenage son for ‘inspiring’ terrorism, along with untold other assassinations without due process, based on AI-generated recommendations. Allowed torture and indefinite detention of foreign policy-related whistleblowers (referred to by Obama as ‘some folks’), and prosecuted record number of whistleblowers.

Clinton: Probably far worse than both

Bush: Far worse than both

Personal/sexual behavior and misbehavior: Probable advantage Trump

Trump: Had consensual sex with a porn star while married, paid her off in disclosed settlement. Multiple porn stars who there is no evidence knew Trump turned up dead just before and after election. Several women allege forms of legal, if embarrassing conduct. Boasted about sex conquests to male journalist who was in his 20s. Wanton prosecution and investigation of Trump associates has occurred, but after 26 months there’s still no evidence Trump himself did anything illegal. Business career mixed, with successes marred by repeated stiffing of any unsecured creditors.

Obama: Sexually harassed multiple male staff at Harvard Law Review while married, paid them off in confidential settlement. Multiple gay men in church congregation and Chicago neighborhood who appear to have known Obama turned up dead just prior to election. One man alleged crack cocaine use and consensual sexual encounters while Obama was married. That the media ignored these things doesn’t make them any less significant than Trump’s, which they frothed over. Like Clinton, makes living primarily from mid-six-figure bribes/paybacks from banks and large institutions, under the guise of speech-giving.

Clinton: Far worse than both combined; stealing homes from seniors, rigging elections, a dozen-plus contract hits, and who knows what else.

Bush: Whether he’s playing dumb, and what we don’t know; those make all the difference. Probably worse than both.

Speeches and public rhetoric: Advantage Trump

Trump: While slightly abrasive, first president since Kennedy to call out media-intel complex as true (or at least aspiring/competing) ruling power, and certainly not a friend of the people. More humorous and entertaining than Obama with his canned, predictable, safe jokes. Panders to ignorant elements of population, including Islamophobes and bona fide xenophobes (not referring to support for border regulation/security). Has made some offensive statements, e.g. ‘my African Americans,’ etc.

Obama: Singsong cadence and folksy style pleasing to some, but speeches a zero-substance, bland waste of time. In most of them, Obama’s words could be referring to anything, anywhere, at any time in history. ‘It’s time we look past our differences, roll up our sleeves, and move forward.’ Snooze. Translation: Do what I want now.

Clinton: Boring, uninspired, model-establishment. Mindless, empty-vessel mantras: ‘Forward’ ‘I’m with her’ ‘Change-maker’

Bush: “

Public image: You decide

(by public image I’m referring to the type of person people expect to be president, and how the person bears on the average or median citizen’s sensibilities; these do not necessarily reflect on my personal judgment matrix)

Trump: Bad hair. Ties way too long. Marriage appears to be somewhat a sham. Shoots from the hip, not infrequently resulting in embarrassing, idiotic statements. Mixed reviews from abroad, with some liking him, and others bewildered he is president. Zero points subtracted based on illusions about what the US was (with respect to events like 9/11, foreign wars, etc., etc.; where chaos, lies, and high crimes, beneath a veneer of diplomatic decorum, were the norm) prior to Trump.

Obama: Likely to be habitual cocaine user. Marriage not much different than Trump’s, with serial adultery. Likely to be an illegal immigrant. The ridiculed ‘birther’ claims are actually very well backed. Obama A) blatantly doctored the online version of his birth certificate B) claimed he was born in Kenya for more than 15 years in his publisher’s bio, and in other media C) strongly appears to have a stolen SSN D) likely worked in intelligence in his early 20s (many indications mother Dunham was an agent), where he could have obtained fraudulent US birth/SSN documents E) grandmother and other family members insist they were present for his birth in Kenya F) birth announcement in Hawaii newspaper does not mention place of birth, and birth announcements have no independent factual basis/requirements, and are merely submitted on the word of the parents G) several other items I’m not recalling. May be dual Kenyan-Indonesian citizen with fraudulently obtained US citizenship. At this point the most common response is not to refute this evidence, but to say ‘who cares,’ ‘even if it’s true,’ etc. I obviously have nothing against foreigners, but do we really want intel agents with ultra cloudy backgrounds and fake citizenship in our highest office, on sole account of their having a pleasing vocal tone? Zero points given for illusions about who Obama actually is.

Clinton: [IMO] Untold dozens of grave felonies including capital crimes (multiple murders for hire in death-penalty states).

—

Again, I’m no particular fan of Trump, nor was I of Obama, Bush, or Clinton. But if you want to be taken seriously by half or more of the population in your criticisms (and not just preach to your choir), you have to keep things in long-term perspective, instead of oscillating between despair and complacency every four or eight years on no articulable basis.

The lesson of this tiresome exercise is that the major party mafias are an imposed duopoly, not free choice or popular representation. We need an anti-war, pro-civil liberty, left-right alliance to break it; the lesser of two evils model is a total failure, and always will be.

11/16/2018 (2) – Jim Acosta and Press-Pass ‘Rights’

In addition to being transparently agenda-driven and non-objective, as he always is, Jim Acosta was disruptive and unfair to other journalists present, in a desperate attempt to hog more time and insert his cheap political point about the obviously engineered migrant caravan, and then, predictably, about Russia.

Allowing our current political system as a given, the White House has every right to bar him on those grounds, and CNN can try their hand with another of their Op-Mockingbird propagandists. There is no obligation to entertain prolonged screaming matches and tussles over the mic at White House press conferences.

If Acosta or CNN can sue for White House access and argue Acosta’s speech is suppressed, then so can I. Press licenses and ‘hard passes’ have no deep legal meaning, and amount to a form of crowd control to limit the size and length of press conferences, and vet White House entrants for security reasons. Press conferences themselves are not legally enshrined in any way either; eliminating shadow government operatives posing as journalists from the White House does not represent a Constitutional crisis, unless there is some wider crackdown; many US presidents did not have regular press conferences.

While press licenses serve some practical purpose given the number of citizens there are, they are against the spirit of and legally irrelevant with respect to the Constitution, which makes every citizen a journalist in equal standing. The clown Acosta has no grievance more than any of us do, and his employer is an immeasurably less credible source of information than the average citizen. Again, this and the Whitaker comment are made independent of support or lack of for Trump.

11/16/2018 – Whitaker’s ‘New Testament’ Comments Were Appropriate in Context

Newsweek: “Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker Once Said Jews, Muslims, and Atheists Should Not Be Federal Judges” (link)

I know almost nothing about Whitaker. I do agree with his agenda to wrap up the Russia circus, since it is by all appearances a total hoax, waste of time and money, and a distraction from more important national concerns.

Whitaker was speaking to a group of highly religious people, of the same religion as he, and the context was a religious forum. So religion and its relation to law and judgment is going to be the vein in which he speaks. Or was he invited to the conference to put all the merits of organized religion up for debate, and give his Unified Theory of Everything that must account for all possible factors and potentially aggrieved parties?

It’s not as if every utterance a person makes in his lifetime now has to be CNN-panel, 12-hour-debate ready. Some might say, ‘It is like that now.’ I would say, no, it’s not, and that’s [part of] why Trump beat Hillary, and why Fakest News (i.e. media-intel complex propaganda) flounders and its viewership plunges to near-negligible levels.

Of course restricting the scope and complexity of commentary and suiting it to one’s audience can go too far and stray into ignorance and pandering, but that’s a separate issue, and doesn’t apparently relate to this.

11/14/2018 – Amazon HQ2 and the Sources of American Prosperity

Amazon is a retail mega-store, and the only difference between Walmart and Amazon is that ‘yuppies’ (for lack of a better term; where I myself may to some degree be one or be taken for one) mostly embrace and laud Amazon and mostly avoid and decry Walmart. At least with Walmarts, which are widely acknowledged as being highly destructive to local economies, there are some local jobs created, and local businesses that make money from them. With Amazon the destruction is done remotely, from foreign factories and Tech-Yogi corporate campuses in a handful of gov/bank-suckling cities and metros: San Fran, NYC, DC, aka the lands of no recession. The only local beneficiaries of Amazon are low-paid package sorters and van drivers, analogs of Walmart’s shelf-stockers and forklift operators, hardly leading economic figures that could empower regions and communities.

State and local politicians nationwide showed their true colors as they salivated over Amazon. They demonstrated they’re willing to pick the winners and losers, and that votes, privilege, and power are the name of their game, not representation, fairness, and equal treatment. ‘Regular’ businesspeople can go pound sand.

The ‘HQ2’ host cities are awarding Amazon up to $150k per job created. It takes far less than $150k for the average entrepreneur to create a job, and one that actually enriches the local economy or makes a relatively neutral contribution, where Amazon guts it. Many businesspeople find themselves in a troubled or relatively neutral financial position after creating jobs, as opposed to racking up $150k windfall after windfall. (Still, it must be noted that CIA & DoD contractor Amazon’s $150k/job payoffs [to erode local economies nationwide] pale greatly in comparison to the $500 million the DoD paid to train ‘four or five’ anti-ISIS fighters in Syria, who all quit shortly thereafter.)

Over the last year I’ve been in a position to get a better glimpse into what the economy is made of today, and what solvency and prosperity increasingly look like. The answers: 1) medicine/pharma [far and away #1] 2) ‘defense’ 3) gov check in mail (disability, Social Security, high-% pension) 4) education 5) civil service i.e. gov jobs 6) gov/med-contracting unions 7) insurance/gov-contracting/dependent law firms 8) banking 9) insurance. If you’re not in one of these fields, the ones near the tax/Fed faucet, your odds (unless you have a job that consists of providing various services to mostly these people) aren’t zero, but they’re stacked.

For all these occupations do and do not do for our society and economy, they are supporting or secondary economic sectors, not primary sectors. They should make up a small portion of activity, perhaps 15-20% or so total, but now make up the large bulk of it, and the overwhelming share of high-salary, high-benefit jobs. Like Amazon’s retailing, these roles and services can only exist as results of some other, more foundational economic activity. You can’t trade any of them as exports.

It’s ludicrous that a retailer that produces nothing is being held up as a jewel of the national economy, and the ultimate cap-feather of a local economy, when all Amazon does for the US is to worsen the trade deficit at the enrichment of Jeff Bezos, the empowerment of the shadow government, and the often mortal expense of ‘Main Street,’ where the Amazon customer, in exchange, gets temporary, decreasing discounts, higher taxes, higher postal costs, sneakily rising Prime subscription rates, and much lower/no privacy. As impressive as Amazon and Walmart have been from a purely tactical business standpoint (that is, in their early years – before they kissed the ring to go mega), there’s not much of a case they’re a good thing for Americans or the world.

Externally tradeable goods and services are what an economy is built on. All the poorest countries have government employees, police, teachers, doctors, lawyers, bankers. The determinant in them making $80k/yr and not $2k/yr is the exportable economic basis of the country. No exports = no power/standing. Of course, the alternative to this game is internal self-sustainability, but that’s a whole different animal; one I support, but for another discussion.

Aside from CIA dirty tricks and the menace of carpet-bombing (aka liberation) for Dollar Ditchers, what does the US rest on today? It has become an economy of threats, payoffs, scams, and schemes. As the outside world tires of us and internal morale flags, prescriptions, delusion, and escapism rise. Hopefully we’ll fundamentally reform the economy, take our due knocks, and turn course before it’s too late.

At this advanced stage, making that shift to rebalance our economy is going to mean that people do the unthinkable and vote for their principles, at the possible, eventual, temporary expense of their pocketbooks.

——–

An aside on the value of Amazon Prime. When you shake it all out, is it worth it? Even putting aside the harm they do to the domestic economy, and ignoring the stench of Bezos’ war and surveillance-loving Washington Post, probably not. You pay $115/year for ‘free’ shipping, which can take 20 or more shipments just to pay for itself. Things like electronics and stationery are usually available for about the same and sometimes lower prices elsewhere on the internet, often with free or low shipping (lower than Amazon’s non-Prime shipping). And when Amazon prices are the lowest, the difference is usually only $1-2, which again, requires many purchases just to overcome the cost of Prime. Whenever possible, especially for larger purchases, I buy for less directly from the producers themselves (where they don’t lose out on Amazon’s 15-20% cut), or from other online retailers who elect not to passionately kiss Deep State butt, track me, and sell my data. Personally, not to say I’ll never use Amazon, but I’ll be canceling my Prime membership before Amazon raids my account unannounced this winter, with a new surprise price.

11/12/2018 – Thousand Oaks = Yet Another Fake Shooting, Apparently

The presence of a ‘survivor’ of the fake Vegas massacre among the Thousand Oaks witnesses – which a researcher made note of recently – is all you need to see to tentatively put this one in the fake/staged column, where it joins 90-95% or more of such events in the US and Western Europe. Of course more evidence is awaited, but at this point it’s a safe call.

The odds of finding oneself in the midst of two of these events are essentially zero, yet many other of the fake events feature cameos by participants in prior ones. For example, a Boston non-bombing survivor showed up at Vegas. This kind of thing has already happened a half dozen times or more. What we appear to be seeing is a traveling troupe of crisis actors on what might be called the World Terror Tour.

Clearly the event producers could just recruit new participants, so why have a Vegas survivor make an appearance? Some possible answers:

1) To make it seem as if the events are so commonplace, experiencing multiple would be plausible, even normal.

2) To put absurd props in your face and see how you react, increasingly dividing the population between critical questioners and blind accepters / believers.

There was no reason to have dead Sandy Hook children sing at the 2013 Super Bowl with Jennifer Hudson either; or to put 26 Christmas trees behind the firehouse, in plain view of helicopter cameras. They like to mock us, and shock us into submission. “The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it,” etc.. Disbelieving the narrative and acknowledging fakery would require an uncomfortable paradigm shift many are not willing or able to undergo.

As I’ve offered in explanation many times, these incidents appear to be classified ‘mass casualty’ training exercises. My theory/belief is that state and local law enforcement, media, and local DHS/FEMA/FBI personnel are asked to participate, but not informed that other such drills have occurred. Participation is not really voluntary, and justified on the basis that deceiving the public is necessary to achieve maximum realism and thus maximum preparedness. Only high-level staff inside certain federal agencies would be aware of an ongoing, nationwide program. They could also sometimes just be live propaganda productions, which have been legal against US citizens on US soil since the passage of the 2013 NDAA in late 2012.

For a real-world example of this kind of broad participation see Operation Closed Campus, a planned, unclassified drill in Kansas in 2011, just prior to the wave of fake events. It was canceled after public outcry at the bizarre drill format, particularly the over-the-top, multi-level government involvement and play-acted media coverage (at which point I surmise the program went classified). Or the London subway drill which involved more than 2,000 participants with fake wounds and injury wraps.

Behind the new trend of faked events there is likely the usual one-stone, as-many-birds-as-possible M.O.:

1) The scene is managed and controlled; no inconvenient bystanders who saw too much, no unintended or unwanted human or property damage.

2) No lawsuits from aggrieved parents, spouses, etc., who make it their life’s mission to get justice and find out the truth of what happened.

3) Brings reality closer to the TV studio. Custom-written scripts, crisis actors, and green-screen media coverage replace live, ‘hot’ events.

4) Public may come to accept anything. Believe one of the ridiculous official narratives and then the next, and you’ll eventually believe anything (see Fake Aliens post).

With Thousand Oaks in particular:

1) Track and surveil vets: they’re genuinely patriotic, armed, proficient with firearms and tactics, and many know the truth of the overseas conflicts: that they’re pointless, often immoral, and wasteful of blood and treasure, hence the high suicide rates. Vets inside the US present a significant obstacle to the shadow government/’cabal’ takeover of the US that’s currently in progress, and they threaten the ‘optics’ of $1T/yr imperialism/’defense’ budget, as the Pat Tillman assassination illustrated.

2) Mix it up: clean-cut soldier, Hillary-loving environmentalist, goth trenchcoat guy, quiet non-descript neighbor. Anyone and everyone can suddenly convert into an ‘active shooter,’ rampage through a public space, and off themselves. Don’t trust thy neighbor, trust the government.

Where were the PTSD shooters after WWII, Vietnam, and the Gulf War? There weren’t any, because the PTSD Shooter is a fake character created by the media-intel complex’s scriptwriters, as the Public Rampage Shooter also for the most part is, where the vast majority of public, random mass shootings are either staged or faked outright. Thankfully, the Kindergarten Shooter is a wholly fictional character, with the staged, UK-gun-banning Dunblane Massacre and Sandy Hook as the only two historical examples.

So why stage a shooting in a gun-restricting state? The goal appears to be not heavy, nationwide gun control, which has zero chance of passing, but the establishment of shadow government agencies as the arbiters of mental health, allowing the ringleaders of the media-intel circus to decide who is sane and who isn’t, and to turn the general population into unpaid Stasi informants in service of this process.

As for the dead sheriff’s deputy and dead shooter, law enforcement and the military are common recruiting grounds and undercover positions for intelligence. Simply transfer the newly recruited or undercover agent overseas, or even domestically, with a new identity (or reversion to birth identity); old identity dead. How does $500k/year and a paid-for mansion in London or Dubai sound for the start of your new assignment? There are at least tens of thousands of people out there who operate under multiple identities, and who leave identities, friends, and acquaintances behind. These identities can be canceled and ‘die’ for political purposes.

While there hasn’t been much to go on with regard to the Pittsburgh incident, I find it odd that a man on a one-shot kamikaze mission to reduce the Jewish population would target a small, old congregation with an average age of around 75. Then there are the DHS ‘active shooter’ training activities in the area just beforehand. As I always maintain, there may well be the occasional real shooting, if only 5 or 10% of them, and there are certainly real people who indiscriminately hate Jews, so I suspend judgment on this one as evidence comes forth.

The beauty – if you want to call it that – of the fake events is that if they don’t work, as they haven’t been, at all, or if the public gets wise to them, as they increasingly are, they can just cancel the program and return to the ‘hot’ events of the past, and those in the know will let sleeping dogs lie. The question is, will they wake up and do so, or go for broke and risk losing all vestiges of goodwill and credibility?

11/7/2018 – If This Was the Election of Our Lives, How Come Nothing Changed?

Now that the smoke has cleared from the ‘election of our lives’ yesterday, I notice that all the following things, today, still promise to obtain, based on who won, who may or may not be appointed to the Supreme Court down the road as a result, etc. etc.:

1) All real property (including all public property), all possessions, and all income that are taxable and exclusively tenderable in US dollars or if not, are owned by an income-taxable ‘US person,’ as well as all government revenues, continue to be literally the titled property of the Federal Reserve (it’s written right on the paper bill, in plain English), which is owned by its private member banks (i.e. US and non-US-based commercial and investment banks), and are merely on loan, at interest, for the moment. All Federal Reserve Note money that exists is interest-bearing debt principal, and all FRN-denominated debt is ultimately owned by and payable back to the original creditors, i.e., to the creators of FRN money. The owed interest does not exist.

2) Upwards of $1T/yr continues to be spent on non-freedom-protecting military aggression and security theater, and nearly a half a trillion more (and rapidly growing) on interest.

3) Truly absurd medical prices remain the norm, where five minutes of attention in an emergency room – without ambulance transport, after a long wait – might run you a cool $1500 (with hourly-adjusted services charged at about 2,200x the minimum wage), and where a night or two in a hospital, with maybe an hour of actual treatment, might set a lower-wage person back a year’s take-home pay. Of course no one actually pays these instant-bankruptcy prices, but they allow the insurance and corporate-health cartels to set the rules of the health game.

4) As do truly absurd education prices, where a decreasingly valuable bachelors degree might put you $100-200k in the red in non-dischargeable, interest-bearing debt, before you can even think about a house, car, or food on the table. Of course no one actually goes without food to pay student loans, but it’s another axe over our heads, to keep us fearful and obedient.

5) The national debt soars past $20T at a clip of $1T/yr, with tens of trillions more in unfunded liabilities, making promises of Social Security and Medicare for any Americans under age 55 or 60 (if not older) completely and utterly empty, and claims of solvency, good faith, and credit a fantasy.

6) The real value of the Dow sits at 5-7,000 (as the bubble number stands at 25,000), just a rate-hike pin-prick away. And that’s assuming there has been consistent, solid growth every year since the 1980s, where many might argue a real decline or flatline has occurred. Again, a mere realignment of stocks with growth trends in CPI, real estate, GDP and other core markers means a catastrophic 75-80% plunge, annihilating scores of trillions in never-was, 401k paper wealth.

7) Faked and staged events abound, chemtrails fall, and rates of cancer, dementia, once-rare allergies and immune disorders, reproductive and hormonal issues, and other manner of ailments steadily rise.

In other words, the average citizen in ‘our democracy’ continues to be held firmly by the _____, while being ______ up the ___, big-league/bigly. The above observations aren’t doom and gloom, they’re just the absence, or partial rollback, of delusion.

Yes, I too met ‘my civic duty’ and voted. I sat in front of the computer checking results, as Fakest News played on the TV in the background. And as I did that I thought, as I have many a time and many a year back, that this is about as real and long-term-relevant as professional sports, which I also enjoy on occasion, and which are covered by said News in an increasingly similar fashion.

To be clear, I voted only on the tactical basis that my five-minute detour to do so might be worth the inch of difference it could make, and as I indulged in the media coverage, I held no hope that any of the above items – the ones that actually matter – would change.

We could have real and well founded hope and optimism, we could take the power back overnight, we could reform our monetary and foreign policy, but it would require the tiny handful of decent people in Congress, not the vast majority of corrupt hacks, to be elevated to the top (and yes, fan-boys and girls, your local Congressperson is in all likelihood one of the paid-for hacks). It would require that the citizens popularizing these politicians and ideas not be shadow-banned, openly banned, and worse by the media-intel shadow empire.

And to rise above the partisan fray is going to require the left and right to compromise and form an anti-imperial, pro-liberty third party, not remain divided and gloat over meaningless, alleged victories at 51-49/49-51 margins every two years.

11/3/2018 – The FDA: An Attack Dog for Pharma, and Little More

The disgraceful FDA has been making headlines in the past few weeks:

‘After failure at federal level, FDA pressures states to ban kratom [which safely helps 5M users quit opiates]’

‘FDA approves synthetic opioid 10x more powerful than fentanyl’

‘FDA approves synthetic marijuana extract for medicinal use [while supporting ban of plant]’

The FDA is little more than an attack dog for pharma and needs to be abolished. This warning letter to ‘Front Range Kratom’ provides some clear insight to how the abominable, Tenth Amendment-violating agency operates:

The claims on your website and social media sites establish that the above-mentioned products [mine: dried leaves with no additives] are drugs as defined by section 201(g)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(B), because they are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. As explained further below, introducing or delivering these products for introduction into interstate commerce for such uses violates the FD&C Act.

This succinctly elucidates the FDA’s official, foundational stance: that nothing from nature is good or works, only synthetic, patented, bank-owned products are/do. Food doesn’t affect health, it’s just calories. Diseases don’t have causes, they just exist. If you want to manage or reverse them, you have to buy drugs, and the ones we favor. And if you dare to say otherwise, we’ll spy on you, SWAT-raid you, shut you down, seize your product, and send you to prison.

Obviously nothing could be further from the truth. With few exceptions, synthetic vitamins are ineffective and sometimes cause disease, while whole-food micronutrients support critical body functions and prevent illness. Psychoactive plants are as a rule good or relatively innocuous, while synthetic psychoactive drugs are almost universally net-negative and often disastrous. Changes in diet can transform health and prevent disease, while prescription drugs merely manage symptoms (very often the result of bad diet), and their innumerable side effects can trigger new illnesses.

The FDA’s cover story is that it’s all for your safety. Given the revolving door with pharma, the bald-faced fraud perpetrated in its campaign against kratom (see post below), and a huge number of other indications, we know that’s bull, and that any honesty and protective action are only incidental, mere costs of doing business in its mission to protect patents and profits.

10/29/2018

As for how the below post applies to the Pittsburgh incident, I can’t say. I had no time to view live coverage, and in the preceding months and years the entire sphere of official-narrative criticism (who would often point out glaring holes in narratives, unconvincing acting performances, etc.) has been slowly dismantled by the tech giants, namely Google/YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, as well as by Paypal and other funding services. The only channels left standing on YouTube appear to be fed-infested militia honeypot groups, with any independent voices having their videos blocked from upload and channels IP-banned. Sure, there are commentators like James Corbett who have independent websites, but he and other higher-profile outlets shy away from talk of full-on fakery, likely to preserve their mainstream viewership, which seriously deflects the pertinence of their content.

But to return to the issue of whether or not Pittsburgh was engineered in some way, manipulation wouldn’t necessarily mean no one died. As we saw with 9/11 and dozens of incidents before it (as well as more recent incidents like the Sikh temple shooting, a false flag event where real killings appear to have been carried out by military contractors of some kind), the shadow government, who has murdered well over 100 million people directly and indirectly in the last century or so alone, has no qualms about real death. But again, it has recently become more difficult for often second-hand commentators like myself to form judgments one way or the other, since any non-establishment ‘front-line’ analysis has been purged from all the major social and search platforms also known to many as the internet.

In that vein, there was a Paypal-aided shutdown of Twitter-alternative Gab (characterized as neo-Nazi by some websites, which wasn’t my impression of it; most of the content I saw a year or two ago seemed to be Breitbart-ish in politics) less than a day after the event, based on the alleged shooter’s membership alone; yet his membership on the major networks prompted no such shutdown.

— Oct 2018

If you just can’t come to terms with the reality that many of the media-featured ‘tragedies’ of late are death-free, faked events (and thus the human props in them are, in at least some cases, indeed actors), and wouldn’t spend any more than a minute even entertaining the notion, this video, perhaps the most damning single piece of evidence out there (among thousands of compelling exhibits between all the events), is for you (YouTube version here: /watch?v=kfsInwOGdxM). It allegedly shows ISIS member Brahim Abdeslam blowing himself up at a restaurant in the alleged Bataclan attacks in Paris, where 130 were said to die. The bomber vaporizes from the explosion’s force (the article reads, ‘there was so little left of Abdeslam’s body, that forensic officers had to rely on a tiny portion of finger print to identify him’) — yet glasses, ashtrays, and people – feet and in some cases only inches away – escape completely undamaged and unmoved (what is actually occurring I can’t say; a small firecracker inside a down pillow, overlaid by a CGI Abdeslam?).

The odds this could happen are precisely zero: fakery proven, conspiracy theorists correct, naysayers and vigil attendees duped. Yet mass delusion, while on the sharp decline, persists. As Mark Twain said twice in his autobiography, ‘how easy it is to make people believe a lie, and hard it is to undo that work again,’ or for the unverified/paraphrased version, ‘it’s easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.’ Yes, I’ve railed on this general theme a hundred times, but we live in a country full of 6-month historical memories and 8-second attention spans.

TSA unveils plan to mugshoot, fingerprint, and eye-scan all foreign and domestic travelers (If you haven’t been abroad recently, as of several years ago citizens of certain countries were made to submit to a mugshot and fingerprints upon entry. Then about four years ago, it became foreigners from all countries, and for about three years now, all Americans returning to the US are mugshotted upon entry, and the camera terminal also contains a fingerprint scanner. It was already clear, but the TSA now acknowledges plans for biometric entry and exit for Americans, as well as for domestic air travel (and later, maybe bus and train rides, even highway driving).

The shadow government has been treating us more and more like prisoners over the past several decades, and this is why I oppose a wall. There are many other, less permanent ways of regulating the border. More often than not, walls have been used to keep an oppressed people in, rather than foreigners out.

The 4A-violating TSA needs to be abolished immediately. Its existence and antics are based almost entirely on one staged shoe bombing, one staged underwear bombing (where said bomber was escorted through security and onto plane with no passport), and two cartoon airplanes. Neither deep-state page Obama nor Trump-knows-best are the answers to this lunacy. Instead we need reasonable leadership who understand the importance of civil liberties, e.g. people like Rand Paul and Justin Amash on the right and Tulsi Gabbard on the left, ideally together as a third party, which is probably the only way any of them could rise above the establishment idiocy and win.)

Paul Craig Roberts banned from Twitter (I’m not a fan of all of Roberts’ work, but most of it is relatively on point. His exile from Twitter shows that the long arm of social media censorship has reached further and further into the mainstream. As Jimmy Dore, whose channel may be next to go, just predicted, the recent purge might have less to do with political correctness, and more with a pre-emptive silencing of opposition to war with Iran (and let’s hope not Russia). The trigger for war? Perhaps a fake or real nuclear/dirty-bomb attack on a US city, or that of a US ally, falsely blamed on an Iran-sponsored terror group.

Unless the tech giants are broken up as monopolies, there’s little that can be done about the clampdown other than to fully recognize what is occurring, that most of the online discourse, let alone the laughable news media propaganda, is increasingly controlled and unrepresentative of society. That way the credibility and relevance of the sold-out court commentators and intellectuals who are left standing will continue eroding away, and lose (or having already lost) the critical mass needed to sway public opinion.

This is why grand plans always – without any historical exceptions – fail, the ‘inevitable’ futures proclaimed by the rulers never come to pass, and the power-mad dupes who bought in end up on the real or karmic gallows. They lose touch, get impatient and over-confident, and squeeze too tight.)

— Oct 2018

Let’s take a quick look at the likely phony package bombings. First, the bombs were exceedingly poorly made and none even partially detonated, so we can rule out any intention to kill. Furthering that point, it was clear that none of the packages would be opened by the actual targets, but low-level staff at best. So a false flag of some kind – i.e. a deed performed by someone other than the supposed: in this case, an imaginary right-wing terrorist – can be safely assumed. To narrow down on a culprit, cui bono, who benefits? Certainly not Republicans, libertarians, Greens, not Antifa, no one benefits at all but the ostensible targets themselves, establishment Democrats, and intelligence and media figures. Being ‘bombable,’ to quote Seinfeld, generally means you’re important, relevant, radical, imminently dangerous; establishment Democrats are none of these things; conversely, they’re boring, predictable hacks who most Americans, left and right alike, just want to retire and go away.

Let’s consider what the non-bombings might have at least been hoped to result in: A) justifies increased security theater and surveillance [check] B) makes the population look divided, and the political climate chaotic [check] C) makes Republicans and people opposed to the media-intel complex look unhinged and dangerous [check] D) makes corrupt, core-establishment stooges look like heroes, martyrs, revolutionaries [check] E) galvanizes Democratic voters into turning out and bringing the media-imagined, unlikely ‘blue wave’ to fruition F) makes the midterms into some earth-shaking saga, when unfortunately, few candidates from either party with any promise or street cred have even made it past the primaries [check].

Anyone who does not weigh or at least entertain all of the following nuance when debating the complex issue of immigration in the context of migrant caravans, that:

1) there is a shadow govt aka media-intel complex aka deep state 2) the many caravans strongly appear to be shadow-govt ops 3) the migrants’ homelands, both in Latin America and the Middle East, have for decades been ravaged by the US surface and shadow govts, with an enormous death toll, at the behest of Western/US corporate and banking interests 4) immigrants of the past did not have to pay $15k in legal fees and wait many years in limbo; they merely signed a book, got checked for disease, and entered 5) people born on this Earth have the God-given right to peacefully travel and trade where they will on it 6) legitimate democracies and other bona fide, consensually formed communities have the right to regulate permanent settlement in their territories 7) people born on this Earth do not have the God-given right to collect welfare and other state benefits or vote themselves those benefits, things most immigrants of the past did not do 8) there would be less need and more money for these social programs if the banking system weren’t siphoning off a larger and larger share of the economy, and taxes were spent wisely

… is part of the problem, not the solution. All that said, I don’t oppose Trump blocking the clearly engineered march, based on points 1 and 2 alone.

Under FDA pressure, Ohio moves towards kratom ban (The zero-credibility, bought-and-paid-for FDA has waged a years long battle against the Southeast Asian tree kratom, lobbying for DEA scheduling to no avail. Plan B has been to pressure states, most recently in Ohio, one of the states worst hit by the heroin epidemic. The FDA has built its case mainly around 44 ‘kratom-related deaths’ since 2011, all of which involved ‘other factors,’ including a gunshot wound to the chest, a fall from an upper-storey window, and cocktails of highly lethal prescription opiates; for instance, tramadol, which was ingested alongside kratom in nine ‘kratom-related deaths,’ a single prescription drug, has killed at least 30,000 in the US alone over that time, **about half as many as violent homicide has;** several other deaths involved fentanyl.

Aside from its fraudulent death claims, the FDA’s remaining basis for a ban is that kratom, a leafy plant in the coffee family, is ‘opiate-like’ since it interacts with opioid receptors; but so do wheat and cheese. I’ve never taken kratom, but it seems to be safely helping its 3-5 million users manage pain and break free from prescription opiates, and there are no deaths attributable to it. That the shadow govt-owned FDA is willing to lie about kratom and kill tens of thousands per year in order to protect pharma profits is far from shocking, and sadly par for the course. Ben Swann has put out several good exposés of the FDA’s machinations on his YouTube channel.)

We all know the shadow government is behind these contrived Latino immigrant caravans. What’s happening is obvious: cash-rich shadow gov pays off the cartel coyotes (themselves intel assets/allies), who then offer free or heavily discounted transit for migrants from select regions, where people who don’t have $100 to their names suddenly have their $5-10k toll paid and decide to make the move. Unfortunately, entire nationalities get put into the crosshairs as a result of the bad PR. But it’s just another day for Fakest News aka the media-intel complex: staged limo crashes, manufactured migrant marches, fake shootings and bombings, CGI airplanes, distorted histories, fraudulent wars, the list is endless.

Over a long period of time, I have compiled significant observational evidence on one of the main points of contention in the ultra high vs. ultra low carb debate, about which diet is better for diabetes prevention. I’ve never eaten a high-carb diet (if defined as 80%-plus caloric share), but a clear pattern has emerged that when my carbohydrate levels have been higher, my fasting blood glucose has been significantly lower, as well as post-prandial (post-meal) sugar, on the order of 15-20 points lower, suggesting improved insulin function. During times when my diet has had the most fat and the least carbs, my blood sugar levels have been the highest, though still not in prediabetic range, and when dietary carbs and sugar levels (from fruit etc.) have been high or highest, blood sugar has been low or lowest. Granted, these were mostly whole-food carbs (mainly fruit, legumes, tubers), and there was little flour, sugar, or other refined carbs present. But I’m fairly confident that excess fat (let’s say near or above 60% of calories) can interfere with insulin response, that insulin efficiency improves when carb levels are normal, and that whole-food fruit sugars – in amounts that would give Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer aneurysms – do not lead to diabetes.

If I had not also been restricting refined carbohydrates and eating large amounts of fiber, the highest-fat diet likely would have contributed to long-term risks of both heart disease and diabetes, and therefore cancer. A certain fat level (80%-plus a la keto) may be too much for fiber to handle, hence the persistent long-term CV risks/death toll even with high fiber and vegetable intake. So back to the original question: does fat cause diabetes or does sugar? Both can. Fat without fiber does, sugar/refined carbs without fiber does, and fat and sugar together, eaten without fiber (all the junk food classics), cause it the most (explaining the Chinese diabetes spike, as fiberless white rice is paired with more and more meat).

This is why I suspect animal fat has been blamed for diabetes, because many people who eat the most meat eat the least fiber; meat by itself, unlike nuts and seeds, lacks fiber and must be intentionally paired with it, and many fail to do that. Fiber, which you will get more than enough of just by eating a whole-food diet, is not just an optional tool for regularity, but an indispensable macro-nutrient that plays a key role in the prevention and reversal of all the most common diseases.

As established well enough below, the NY limo crash was a faked event, in which either no one died or everyone was already dead. Why car crashes would be faked was also covered (not that the why even matters when the what is physically impossible).

In this utterly insane circus of a political and informational context (one that Hillary would enthusiastically keep in place), hopefully the Bill Maher-loving, self-styled science and fact-checking champions on the left will finally start to see why people were willing to take a gamble on Trump, when comparing him to the bizarro world that is already upon is. But no, instead they’ll probably call the fact of limo fakery (a clear-cut beginner’s case with very many analogs of greater complexity and implications) ‘batshit crazy,’ and continue on in smug delusion.

A frequent theme here (discussed in depth in Fake Aliens post) has been the manipulation and manufacture of events with the aim of stretching the bounds of what is believable, so that anything will be believed and the world will truly become a stage, as much as it already is. I’ve also discussed the varied sources of ‘cancel-able identities’ that can serve as fake victims. This applies to all kinds of tragedies, not just ‘active’ shootings and public bombings: for just a few among the dozens to hundreds of examples (beyond the obvious and thoroughly proven in Sandy Hook, Boston, Orlando, Nice, Vegas, etc.), the Cassidy Stay murders did not happen as reported or likely at all, the Trayvon Martin incident is highly suspicious and appears at best to have been a set-up of some kind, and there are strong indications the Christopher Dorner manhunt was a training exercise.

Last year there were 34,439 fatal car crashes in the US, resulting in 37,461 deaths (1.08 deaths per accident), and surely all but the tiniest sliver of crashes are real in every sense. The recent NY state limo crash is an exception to that. The owner was an FBI informant, had links to [almost invariably Western intel-engineered/run] terror groups, no bystanders seem to have witnessed it other than to say they heard an explosion, and federal agents, mainly the NTSB, took over the investigation. The SUV reportedly hit another, much smaller SUV. It didn’t hit a brick building, train, or mountainside. Equal and opposite reactions dictates that in terms of force (mass over velocity) exerted, the moving and stationary objects in a collision are interchangeable. If a sheer rock face moving at 120 mph hit an SUV, you could imagine there being no survivors.

It’s just not believable that not one of the 20 would luck out and survive in this case, if just in the hospital for a few hours or days. But all instantly dead, without even long-shot attempts to resuscitate? I don’t buy it. In the single side-facing perspective of the vehicle (SeeBS report linked; the ridiculous animation is a must watch; see also video comments) that is available, no portion looks badly damaged, not even the windows. OK, so this is clearly a fake, but why fake car crashes? Distorting the public’s belief standards for car crashes is important (especially in the age of hackable, self-driving cars), since staged accidents, often plane or auto, are a common method of taking out shadow-government opponents (in addition, the more varied the fake scenarios are, the more thorough the dumbing down is). It is convenient to them if the publicly will uncritically accept every tale of an accident, and head to their local candlelight vigil to be filmed by news media.

While I don’t make any claims on Kanye’s mental health or lack thereof and wouldn’t be caught dead in a MAGA hat (not into cults of personality or pre-packaged viewpoints), pretty much everything he said during Chris Rock’s taped SNL monologue (described as awkward by heavily medicated Pete Davidson and others), and during previous rants, was accurate. That abuse of boys, girls, and women is rampant among the same male-dominated ‘elite’ who engineered MeToo (if you are blind enough to dismiss this outright, start with the banned/canceled film Conspiracy of Silence: The Franklin Cover-Up).

That there has been a long-running, primarily Democratic party scheme to weaken and break up black (and white, Hispanic, etc, but especially black) families, and to have a government check in the mail take the place of husbands and fathers (and sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, neighbors). Whether these policies have racist and anti-family, anti-community motivations or not, those are their obvious effects.

There are definite echoes of Michael Jackson’s important speech that large parts of schoolbook history are indeed a fictional fraud, where rarely heard truth was cast as unhinged rambling. Most anything that the establishment and its Hollywood minions in good standing decry as terrifying, horrifying, batshit crazy, demented, sick, awful, dark-hearted, etc, etc, bears at the least some consideration, if it’s not self-evidently true.

Greek president to remind Germany of €280 billion in war reparations (All’s fair in love, war, and neofeudal debt-currency scams, and like begets like. Everyone needs to go Iceland on the out-of-control EU and its phony debt claims. Italy and Austria seem like the next to jump the Euro currency zone, meaning they’ll effectively be out from under the EU thumb, like the ‘members’ in Eastern Europe are and will remain, ignored timelines of the undemocratic, meaningless Maastricht treaty notwithstanding.)

Study Confirms that Humans Recognize 5,000 Faces (Other studies show that the average person can associate about 500 names with people at any given time. If I don’t know your name and face, you aren’t yet my friend, and you certainly don’t represent me, nor I you. Does that mean we share nothing? Absolutely not. But when it comes to the worldly and the corporal, human beings have their limits: names, faces, dollars, subjects / constituents, and it is vain in both senses to think otherwise.

Tribe, village, town, city-state should be the target range for human-scale political systems, where all or most power sits. Allow power to move beyond the capacity of men and you start to get monsters, more and bigger. Sovereign or mostly sovereign political units can share common laws and standards with other units to facilitate trade and travel, and join in enormous, unincorporated confederations (or ‘unconstitutional,’ as Tolkien called it), but the bigger the constituted unit gets and the more that is ceded to the top of it, the worse things will always get.)

I previously mentioned Joel Fuhrman as the single best high-profile nutritional voice for people without the time or patience for independent research, and I stand by that. Fuhrman’s ‘nutritarian’ approach and ‘G-BOMBS’ (Greens [including crucifers]-Beans-Onions [and other alliums]-Mushrooms-Berries [cherries, and other polyphenol-rich fruits]-Seeds [and nuts] mnemonic provide a simple and effective blueprint for whole-food micro-nutritional sufficiency and broad protection against cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, that when taken with moderate amounts of meat and fish, also resonates with the traditional cuisines of most high-longevity cultures, as well as with what is available in most of nature.

Walking through a habitable ecosystem, the foods you will encounter overwhelmingly consist of greens, wild garlics or onions (allium genus), fruits (most often berries, currants, cherries), fungi, nuts and seeds, and one or more staple carbohydrate (acorns or chestnuts, easily processed legumes and grains, starchy tubers, tree syrups), as well as herbs and spices. Obviously other food types should be included, but if you build your daily diet around a fairly even balance of these categories, it will be very hard to go very wrong; a recent example: large serving of greens, stewed beans with onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms, moderate amount of high-quality meat; snack: walnuts and blueberries.

Eliminating both fruit and legumes deprives the diet of important fiber and phytonutrients and throws off normal macro balance, necessitating excess fat consumption to fill the caloric void, where I would define imbalance as anything much below 30% carbs (~180g/day) and above 50% fat (~125g/day), and with that profile most of the fats better be whole-food, fibrous kinds (e.g. nuts, seeds, avocados).

Vice producer: “There were people who were paid by organizations like [‘women’s advocacy group’] UltraViolet, to try to harness that energy in a way that would make those viral moments that we ended up seeing.” Paid to make viral moments. In other words, this and almost everything else in the media-intel focus is propaganda, as has been long known: the narratives, the staged photos on front pages, the WMDs, chemical attacks, etc.

Now the media is trying to say they technically aren’t paid protesters since they weren’t paid for this job, even though they agreed to do it for money, and have likely been paid in the past for the same work. Fine, they’re fake protesters, protesting on behalf of a fake victim. Do alt-right outlets and cointel shills in the conspiracy realm also employ fakery? Sure. Did Trump? I would guess, yes. But two or 10,000 fakes don’t make a real.

Kudos to Trump for ‘doubling down’ and calling a spade a spade: Ford is by all appearances a lying political operative, and the claims appear well enough to be a complete hoax. To all assault victims who have stories with fewer holes than swiss cheese, aren’t the daughters of high-level CIA agents, haven’t authored papers on self-hypnosis to ‘create artificial situations’ or spent decades teaching at psych-intel hotbeds, haven’t provably faked multiple phobias and trauma symptoms, haven’t lied under oath about polygraph-passing expertise, haven’t waited 36 years until the eve of your accused’s professional culmination that you and all your friends happen to be viscerally opposed to, don’t talk in a highly affected way that looks just like unwatchably bad acting, and haven’t accepted donations of $800k from GoFundMe alone, I sympathize with you and encourage you to come forward. Instead of clawing at the Supreme Court’s doors, victims and deluded protesters should be at Ford’s, given the perhaps unprecedented damage she did to past and future efforts to report sex crimes.

The Kavanaugh-Ford affair has highlighted a crisis that is occurring in this country and is a frequent topic on this blog, and it’s not about political division or gender relations. It is a bigger epistemological crisis, having to do with credulity and the standard required for belief. There will always be some scheme or ploy to move us in the desired direction. If the citizens cannot distinguish apparent fact from apparent fiction, and are unable to weigh evidence and make informed conclusions, democracy is gone and schemocracy, the rule of schemers and scammers over dupes, is in effect.

Regarding the logical non-sequiturs put on display: that people have personally been victims of assault or abuse, as unfortunate and unjust as that is, or that they can relate to [apparently fictional] stories of victimhood of other women has nothing whatsoever to do with whether Kavanaugh should be Supreme Court justice, unless there is also a preponderance of reasons to believe Kavanaugh is himself an abuser, and there wasn’t, at all. The discourse around confirmation, in sadly predictable fashion, morphed into a MeToo story-sharing forum and general protest against assault, without any hard examination of the evidence (probably since there wasn’t much to examine) that would make these things relevant or not to Kavanaugh.

Those who opposed Kavanaugh on political grounds, myself included (mainly on civil liberties, as I oppose all the other justices; while also opposing his attempted railroading on likely bogus allegations), must focus on reforming politics (or ignore/boycott it altogether), not shutting down mental processes and wilfully becoming pawns of the powerful. If reform is possible, the last half-century has shown that it will come through unity, compromise, thoughtful debate, and common ground, not ridicule, attack (or avoidance), and go-nowhere minority platforms (e.g. Progressivism, libertarianism). In the absence of that, the pathetic 4-year cycles of post-triumph complacency from one side, and indignation, dread, and revenge from the other (when all the while, the same core policies continue) will keep replaying.

Documentary from Hearst/Fox/Disney-owned Vice about ‘black identity extremists’ who are being harassed, surveilled, raided, and jailed without bond by the FBI and DHS today in COINTELPRO fashion (an illegal FBI program that included outright assassination of black activists, as well as multiple attempts to extort MLK into suicide just prior to his murder by the shadow government, among thousands of other high crimes) for legal self-defense initiatives that amount to a neighborhood watch organization. Haven’t yet watched and I imagine it’s rife with subtle propaganda, but it discusses an important topic.

Through a mistake in the mail I get a copy of the comical, thoroughly entertaining ‘Intelligence Report’ from the Southern Poverty Law Center every quarter. One issue contained a map of ‘hate groups’ (most or many of which are and have long been headed and heavily populated by federal agents). As corporate-left groups like the $400-million SPLC continuously tout their anti-racist credentials and rally blacks and people of color towards the Democratic cause and away from ‘old white men,’ it’s worth noting that in the report there were 4x times more ‘black nationalist’ groups listed than any other kind of group (some of the other categories were white nationalist, environmental, animal rights, [non-black] Native-American nationalist), and that a large percentage of the organizations appeared to be religious and historical societies, not political groups.

Any person or group asserting any kind of sovereignty/independence or seeking a fundamental change to the status quo (including its historical narratives) is an extremist or hate group to the bank-owned corporate left (and right). Same as it ever was, the rulers hate dissent; don’t be fooled by the new labels and new divide-and-conquer tactics.
