Degrowth Me Not

Impending doom. It’s in the mouths of Climate Change activists and environmentalists. It’s in the mythos eschatology of those who want to return to primitive times – proponents of the axial age, the age of a dark green religion and Degrowth. It’s in the marketing of the WEF, WHO, and ESG. With a select focus on impending doom, the need for sweeping “solutions” follows. And with sweeping “solutions” follows chaos and destruction.

I have previously posted about the WEF, the WHO, and ESG. Let’s now take a brief look at the thinking behind Degrowth with its impetus of impending doom.

On economic anthropologist Jason Hickel’s web site we learn that “The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown and ecological collapse” and “There is only one solution that will lead to meaningful and immediate change: degrowth.”

In a book review of Jason Hickel’s Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World, we are told that the book will “serve as a gloomy yet crucial reminder of the truly existential catastrophe life on Earth is facing.”

On the Degrowth website we find a definition (with sweeping conjecture):

“Degrowth is an idea that critiques the global capitalist system which pursues growth at all costs, causing human exploitation and environmental destruction. The degrowth movement of activists and researchers advocates for societies that prioritize social and ecological well-being instead of corporate profits, over-production and excess consumption. This requires radical redistribution, reduction in the material size of the global economy, and a shift in common values towards care, solidarity and autonomy. Degrowth means transforming societies to ensure environmental justice and a good life for all within planetary boundaries.” (Emphasis mine.)

Elsewhere . . .

What is ‘degrowth’ and how can it fight climate change?

The cure for a changing climate could be a stagnant economy. (Emphasis mine.)

Degrowth, at its essence, is an alternative to capitalism, [Timothée]Parrique says. But what it absolutely is not, he says, is a planned recession on purpose. Not only does pausing economies for a moment do pretty little for the climate crisis (look how ineffective COVID-19 was at reducing emissions long-term), but it also hits the poorest and most vulnerable people first. 

“Parrique says to picture economies like people with metabolisms—when you’re young, you need to eat lots of food, and as a result, produce lots of waste, to get big and strong. But if you keep eating like a rapidly-growing human well into adulthood, that’s probably not the healthiest way to be. As an adult, it makes more sense to balance out your diet for sustaining your body’s current needs.”

And . . .

Economic growth is leading to overconsumption and climate change. Degrowth argues that shrinking our economies can have benefits.  Degrowth – BBC Worklife

What does degrowth mean? A few points of clarification (columbia.edu)

Degrowth Buzzwords: Beyond Growth, Net Zero, Absolute Zero, Emissions, Sustainability

In short, degrowth, “an alternative to capitalism”, is communism. Degrowth is Marxism with Malthusian planning. Its outworking is as a Communist death cult. Its premise: Too many people and too much consumption means the end of Mother Earth. So, you must stop living, i.e., become Net Zero, to produce a sustainable earth.

Degrowth is Communism – YouTube

Degrowth is Communism – New Discourses

Is Degrowth something new or has its death-force always been around? Look around and see how human life has been handled and is now being handled.

Degrowth is Anthony Fauci prohibiting Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin – highly effective low-cost repurposed drugs -being used to treat COVID and save lives.

Degrowth is using Remdesivir to treat COVID patients in hospitals.

Degrowth is sending COVID-19-positive patients into nursing homes.

Degrowth is an mRNA vaccine that produces deadly adverse effects.

Degrowth is digital currency – the means to limit consumption.

Degrowth is ESG deciding who has access to capital.

Degrowth is forced social transformation.

Degrowth is employing a pandemic psyop. The creation of fear leads to submission to Degrowth “solutions”.

Degrowth is employing a climate crisis psyop. The creation of fear leads to submission to Degrowth “solutions”.

Degrowth is the WHO, the UN, and the WEF – globalists organizations that want complete control of life on earth.

Degrowth is inflation, Biden’s Green energy tax imposed upon Americans.

Degrowth is engineered scarcity. “You will own nothing and be happy.”

Degrowth is population control using abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, euthanasia, and bioweapon pandemics.

Degrowth is sending billions of tax-payer dollars over to one of the most corrupt nations on earth while Biden offers $700 to Maui residents.

Degrowth is wasting billions of tax-payer dollars for unreliable renewable gizmos and not using the money to build reliable nuclear reactors.

Degrowth is creating stifling economic conditions leading to exhaustion, despair and suicide. (Suicides reached an all-time high in 2022.)

Degrowth is incompetence, lack of foresight, neglect of infrastructure, not clearing brush and flammable grass, letting things go. (See Maui headlines below.)

Last century there were those who wanted to change the world to their vision of the world. Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao used fear to generate “cooperation” towards those ends. In the process of social transformation to produce results, millions were killed. Little wonder that the entry on ‘mass killings’ under Communism may one day be deleted. The entry won’t help the “reduce inequality and share national and global income more fairly” Degrowth narrative.

The gospel of Degrowth has all of last century’s collectivist trappings and propensity to snuff out life for the sake of a “sustainability”. The reach of last century’s tyrants didn’t cover the earth. Today, digital technology covers the earth. So now a message of “impending doom” and Degrowth “salvation” will reach across the globe and bring death and destruction to more lives. And that’s because . . .

Degrowth, like Marxism, is a God-less perspective. There is no mention of God in its prospectuses. Degrowth takes no account of God or of God’s providential care of His creation or of humans as the collective image of God acting as agents to continue to bring order and function to creation as they work with God. Degrowthers want none of that. They are their own gods.

Degrowthers, as did Marx, picture human existence after everything has been “rectified” through long struggles, a series of historic processes, and transformation of circumstances and men, to be something like that of carefree Eloi sitting around with the lion and the lamb eating fruit and reading poetry.

If we “picture economies like people with metabolisms” then Degrowth is a deadly virus.

The sub-title of my blog: Walking around on Resurrection ground. These words are not some sappy sentiments. These words speak of an eye-witnessed historical reality – God, very God, is personally involved with His creation. Jesus, in going to the cross, gave us the example we are to follow – not employing an authoritarian program of Degrowth (the wisdom of this world) but choosing the paradoxical path of self-denial leading to true life.

We are to put off our old self, which belonged to our former manner of life that was corrupted through deceitful desires, to find true life. Doing away with lack of self-control, covetousness, greed, etc.  has implications not just for the individual but for the world.

“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, they must give themselves up, and pick up their cross, and follow me. Yes: if someone wants to save their life, they must lose it; and if anyone loses their life for my sake they will find it. What use will it be, otherwise, if you win the world but forfeit your true life? What will you give to get your life back? -Jesus, the gospel of Matthew 16: 24-26

(Over a loudspeaker) “Professor Smith, you’ve been brought to this college auditorium, not to deliver the lecture you’ve prepared, but to stand before the student body, your colleagues, alumni and the governing board to answer for your lack of unity with the people sitting in this room.

“Professor Smith, you would not be here if you were not guilty of something. We wouldn’t go after an innocent man. Face it. We know everything about you. But for every problem there is a solution, Professor Smith. I’m sure you can discover a solution!

“We are here to help you resolve the tension you now face. It’s up to you to explain yourself. If you confess you will be treated with respect.

But if I confess and renounce everything I believe to be true then I can live to fight another day. Just not today. But if I do that, I put my life into their hands.

“That is not a crime. It is, in my view, protected political speech. Presidents routinely lie on matters great and small. Many of those lies cost citizens dearly, from “keeping your doctor” under ObamaCare to losing your life in Vietnam.

“These words did not sit well with local journalist Darya Sipigina, who was the first to publish videos from the sermon, along with a Facebook post in which she blasted Kurach’s words as “shocking.” “How is this even possible a year and a half [into the conflict]?” she asked in her post, while accusing the Uzhhorod Greek-Catholic Church of a lack of “respect for those who defend the Ukrainian land and die for it.”

“Possibly the most insane example of a Clown World struggle session was that inflicted on the staff of Sandia National Laboratories, a contractor involved in constructing America’s arsenal of nuclear weapons.

“These workers were subjected to a struggle session in the guise of diversity training, during which the white males on the staff were made to apologise for their white privilege. They were also made to acknowledge a connection between white male culture and mass killings. This closely mirrors how educated people were made to apologize for all the ills of the world during the Maoist struggle sessions.”

Remember the two years of the COVID struggle session? The globalist overlords and are planning another pandemic/struggle session. And the Biden regime is going to soon announce a climate emergency – another struggle session.

A struggle session uses fear (fear of isolation is used among other tactics) to tear down perceived systems of power, e.g., whiteness, maleness, Christianity, tradition, science, so that only ideology and those in power remain. Power, not truth, is sought after these days. For, it is believed that power can decide what is true.

Acton Institute: Bishop Robert Barron speaking on “The Philosophical Roots of Wokeism.”

“I will argue in my presentation that “wokeism” is a popularization of critical theory, a farrago of ideas coming out of the French and German academies in the mid-twentieth century. Until we understand its origins in the thinking of Adorno, Horkheimer, Derrida, Marcuse, and Foucault, we will not know how critically to engage this dangerous philosophy.”

The following quotes are from Hypocrite hector by Anthony Daniels | The New Criterion

A review of White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo & How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi.

“DiAngelo has apparently made a career of anti-racist struggle sessions in which ordinary employees of various organizations must confess publicly to their racism however hidden it might be, as university professors, primary school teachers, doctors working in slums, etc., had once in China to confess to bourgeois propensities and counter-revolutionary ideas. They may never have uttered a racist sentiment, they may never have been rude to a person of another race, let alone violent towards one, they may have friends of other races or even be married to a person of another race, but they carry racism deep within them like Original Sin, with this difference: there can be no redemption from it even after having read DiAngelo’s book and attended her struggle sessions.”

“One is reminded of the type of psychoanalysis which after thirty years of hourly sessions four times a week fails to get to the root of the analysand’s problem, let alone solve it, because it doesn’t even know what the problem is. But failure is also an opportunity, because, like psychoanalysis, the more anti-racist training fails, the more it is needed.” 

“By demonstrating how bad a person she is, DiAngelo demonstrates how good a person she is. A story that she relates towards the end of her book illustrates to perfection her self-satisfaction and moral grandiosity that masquerade as confession of sin.”

“Apart from the massacres, deaths and famines for which communism was responsible, the worst thing about the system was the official lying: that is to say the lying in which everyone was forced to take part, by repetition, assent or failure to contradict. I came to the conclusion that the purpose of propaganda in communist countries was not to persuade, much less to inform, but to humiliate and emasculate.”

“The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”

― Zbigniew Brzezinski, 1970 quote from Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era

A totally controlled society will arrive in the next few minutes. It will be made possible by advanced digital technology that asserts “almost continuous surveillance over every citizen” and maintains “up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen”. Authoritarians will take what we have allowed and use it for their purposes.

Note the last bit. “Computational intelligence” is AI or “Artificial Intelligence” (Thank you Kamala Harris!).

Digital gizmos, marketed to the end user as a means of greater control, convenience, and increased productivity and efficiency, will be used by a centralized system that is contextually aware of the end user and will “respond according to pre-established rules or through “computational intelligence.”

The “more controlled society” will be here in the next few minutes. Our individual privacy will be obliterated in the next few minutes. Smart devices will turn on us. Our future is being programmed for us. The digital controlling apparatus – a Big Brother police state with “pre-established rules” – is being completed as I write this.

Why isn’t any of this all over the news? Why aren’t we hearing about FedNow and the July launch of the central bank digital currency infrastructure? Why aren’t we hearing about 15-minute cities and social credit scoring systems like what is being used in Communist China? Why aren’t we hearing about being controlled with digital currency, digital IDs, biometric IDs, facial recognition, biased AI, and one’s internet history? Isn’t the media supposed to be exposing what is actually going on?

“The way things are supposed to work is that we’re supposed to know virtually everything about what they [the government] do: that’s why they’re called public servants. They’re supposed to know virtually nothing about what we do: that’s why we’re called private individuals.”

Digital IDs and CBDC.

“WASHINGTON — In June, the WHO announced it is looking to adopt the European Union’s Digital COVID Vaccine Certificate (EU DCC) model for its proposed “Global Digital Health ID” as part of the new pandemic treaty. Furthermore, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is beavering away on a plan to establish a global Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which when combined with a Global Digital ID will transform the way the international, national, state, and local economies function; enable non-representative, unaccountable, centralized, global governance; and promote the establishment of a social credit score like that oppressing citizens in Communist China.

Already in Europe, many of the proposed policies in the text are being rolled out by public health agencies and institutions. For example, the use of a “European Digital ID,” initially intended to track COVID vaccine status is rapidly expanding — and becoming mandatory — for many services like banking and transportation.”

Let’s take a close look at the Life Skills of the administrative state.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. — Four staffers at a Brownsburg elementary school, who investigators say told a 7-year-old student to eat his own vomit or failed to report the incident, have now been terminated or have resigned from their position with the school.

At a Brownsburg Community School Corporation meeting on Monday night, the school board approved the termination or resignation of four staffers involved in a lunchroom incident where a special-needs student was mistreated and subjected to eating his own puke.

According to court documents, the lunchroom incident occurred on Feb. 16, although the school said officials weren’t aware until the late evening of April 12.

According to the Brownsburg Police Department, Seymour advised a 7-year-old Life Skills student that, if he vomited, he would have to eat whatever he threw up.

The child, on a tray provided by Taylor, indeed vomited, at which point Kanipe provided the child with a spoon.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. — A law firm representing the family of a 7-year-old special needs student who was told to eat his own vomit by school staff at Brown Elementary revealed that the student’s family wasn’t notified about the abuse until two months later when media reports shed light on the incident.

[Attorney Catherine Michael of Connell Michael Kerr LLP] said the family has only been provided limited information about the abuse but was shown a video that shows the child being provided a spoon by Debra Kanipe, a Life Skills instructional aide at Brown Elementary. In the video, both Kanipe and Sara Seymour, a Life Skills teacher, stand on each side of the student as the child is told to eat his own vomit off a lunch tray. (Emphasis mine.)

The attorneys for the special needs student in Brownsburg say this whole situation is part of a much bigger problem.

You may remember the story of a seven-year-old boy at Brown Elementary School who police say was forced to eat his own vomit by two school staffers on February 16th, all while three others stood back and watched, never reporting the situation.

Attorneys for the family, Catherine Michael and Tammy Meyer, say this doesn’t surprise them and isn’t anything new.

“Special education abuse is actually becoming far more common,” says Catherine Michael on WIBC’s Kendall and Casey show, “we’re talking about this case now, but Tammy and I have handled many cases where unfortunately, it’s not caught on camera.”

Don’t ESG On Me

“As you know in fashion, one day you’re in. And the next day, you’re out.”

If you have watched “Project Runway” then you’ve seen a small elite group of fashionistas evaluating who’s in and who’s out based on which design and designer aligns with their values. A runway is used to showcase contestant’s designs, designs created within a strict set of rules and with a limited budget and time. When I recently reviewed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scoring, the above saying and Lifetime’s design competition came to mind – as Project ESG.

Project ESG contestants are scored by select groups as to whether their organization operates within a strict set of guidelines that align with their values. Project ESG also has runways: main street and financial statements.

“Project Runway” contestants are scored based on their creative flair, good structuring, demonstrating diversity in design skills, and the sustainability of their designs -conforming to, attuned to, or characterized by the latest trends in fashion.

How Project ESG Contestants are Scored

“Environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, is a type of financial investing where factors beyond financial considerations are considered. Companies are scored by fund managers based on varying, and undefined factors.

The environmental perspective includes anything that contributes to carbon emissions and climate change, such as energy, water, and waste management, ventilation/air quality, materials sourcing and management, and supply chain management.

The social perspective addresses the relationships and reputation a company has with its stakeholders, such as employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, human rights and community relations, and labor practices.

The governance perspective is the internal system of practices, controls, and procedures that a company uses to govern/manage itself, such as business model resilience, risk management, legal and regulatory compliance, due diligence, and meeting external stakeholders’ needs.”

Sustainability, ESG And ISO Are Key To A Competitive Strategy | CGBC (cgbusinessconsulting.com)

“A credit score communicates a consumer’s ability to pay back debt. A bond rating provides context for an issuer’s ability to meet financial commitments and avoid default. Similarly, an ESG risk score gauges a company’s performance on ESG issues and exposure to ESG-related risks. They are calculated against a set of ESG metrics and may be expressed on a number scale or through a letter ranking system. . . (Emphasis mine.)

ESG contestants are scored on ESG issues which span everything from cybersecurity to climate change to diversity, equity, and inclusion . . .

Organizations with a good ESG score are thought to be better equipped to anticipate future risks and opportunities, more inclined to longer-term strategic thinking and to prioritize long-term value creation over short-term gains. As such, the consequences of a substandard score can be momentous.”

ESG Scores and Ratings: What They Are, Why They Matter

(Prioritizing long-term “value creation”? Whose values are being prioritized?)

Project ESG Scorekeepers

An industry of ESG “raters” has sprung up to rate companies’ Project ESG bona fides.

“Producers of ESG scores are varied, just as the types of ESG scores are. Nevertheless, we can categorize them based on the nature of their organization:

-NGOs. Carbon Disclosure Project is an example of an NGO that produces ESG scores.

-Financial services firms. Bloomberg, MSCI, FTSE Russell and S&P Global are examples of financial services firms that publish ESG scores.

Companies have also started producing ESG scorecards for themselves.”

Every rating agency, irrespective of whether they are issue-specific, category-specific or general, uses a similar methodology.

As mentioned above, Project ESG scoring occurs when the contestant’s designs walk the runway. Showcasing LGBTQ+ deisgns on the main street runway is one in-your-face way to improve a Project ESG score. The bulk of Project ESG’s points, located on financial statements, are noticed by accountants and the suppliers of capital, loans and credit lines, i.e., Big Banks.

If you offer your company’s stock publicly you are impacted by accounting standards. The SEC directs that your financial statements reflect ESG disclosures to investors and the capital markets, including climate-related disclosures of climate risks among other risks.

Propelled by the planetary emergency and the drive for transparency, global sustainability reporting standards and ESG disclosure regulations are coming. Boards and C-suites should prepare now, and could find new opportunities to create value.

Heads Up — Do ESG Matters Affect Accounting and Financial Reporting Today? (May 26, 2021) | DART – Deloitte Accounting Research Tool

Why Not Project ESG?

Why oppose Project ESG when environmentalism, climate change, and social justice are some of the criteria on which a judgment can be made on a corporation contestant?

Why oppose Project ESG when it’s said to foster in its contestants an increasing focus on corporate purpose, accountability and operational resilience and strengthens environmental, social and governance?

Why oppose Project ESG when it’s not a competition platform but rather a platform where contestants are eliminated based on “progressive” challenges posed to them?

There’s more to Project ESG than meets the eye.

Here’s what Heartland Institute Research Fellow Jack McPherrin and others at Heartland have to say:

“At its core, ESG is a social credit scoring system that ideologically aligned elites and subservient bureaucratic authorities have developed to “reset” the global financial system to their advantage, fundamentally transforming society in the process. This is accomplished by altering traditional frameworks of evaluating businesses and assessing investment risk.

“Rather than determining the creditworthiness and value of a business or industry based upon objective measures such as profit, return on investment, consumer demand, and other material performance measures, ESG’s architects seek to judge entities based upon subjective and difficult to quantify social and environmental goals. These objectives typically have little or nothing to do with business success in the marketplace based on consumer demand expressed through their purchases.” (Emphasis mine.)

And, with regard to his well-researched paper documenting ESG’s becoming “one of the gravest threats facing the free societies of the world today.”, Jack McPherrin writes

“ESG is an insidious threat to individual freedom and economic progress, as this important paper explains. ESG efforts threaten everyone’s retirement, their ability to obtain and maintain credit, and even to have bank accounts and do business with banks. A cabal of political and financial elites are using social credit scoring in the form of ESG to enforce docile acceptance of the progressive social and economic goals they favor.” (Emphasis mine.)

One major aspect of Project ESG program that has driven many away is the matter of return on investment (ROI). Investors want a positive return from their shareholdings and not losses, e.g. KSS, TGT, BUD, produced by highly subjective elements that Project ESG scoring dictates. Investors have placed their capital into a corporation to grow their investment and not for drama and virtue signaling.

If a corporation’s CEO, CFO, COO, CIO or another suit wants to donate a portion of their huge salary to some social cause they are free to do so. They are not free to do so with my shares. They should not buy carbon offsets with my investment dollars. When I sell my shares, I will use the profit to support my social values.

I’ve told the portfolio manager overseeing my retirement funds that I do not want any of my funds invested in ESG companies. “Don’t ESG on me,” I said. She responded by saying that many of her clients have said the same thing.

The same objection to Project ESG applies for public and pension funds. Find out where your state is with ESG. Your state can impose an ESG Insurance Shareholder Restriction:

A bill to prohibit insurers or holding companies organized under state law from including ESG proposals in a proxy statement or implementing an ESG shareholder proposal. 

Other aspects of Project ESG, beyond financial considerations, are being rejected:

“Nearly every ESG system includes three primary themes: climate change mitigation and associated climate and environmental goals and actions; promoting social justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives; and reforming corporate governance. A common fact of the many different ESG systems currently in use is that each of them contains highly subjective elements.” Jack McPherrin (See 2023-ESG-ReportvWeb-2.pdf (heartland.org) page 15 for the social metrics.)

Project ESG elites talk of stakeholders (designers) finding new opportunities to create value. The values to be created are Project ESG elite values. But I do not share those values.

I reject the notion that there is a climate change crisis. See previous posts for more.

I reject the trendy “value” of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) over the classic value of merit. I value honesty, trustworthiness, compassion, decency, respect for life, good environmental stewardship, taking responsibility for one’s behavior. Fulfilling quotas on company boards doesn’t add value to the company, the consumer or the stockholder. Fulfilling quotas only adds Project ESG points. (Note: Kamala Harris was a DEI pick for U.S. VP. Do you see any value in the pick?)

I reject Project ESG’s corporatist government design as the means to bring about the common good.  Free market capitalism with individuals freely making tradeoffs works toward a common good.

I reject Project ESG’s social engineering by elite design checklists.

I reject Project ESG’s design authority – globalist dominionism that assumes positions of power and influence over all aspects of society and government that will produce a global serfdom heavily reliant on Big Brother’s social credit scoring.

I reject the basis of Project ESG’s evaluations: scientism and scientific socialism. I remind you that scientism is “the opinion that science and the scientific method are the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality”. Scientific socialism is Marxian socialism made more rigid and deterministic by Friedrich Engels. I reject social engineering and the mechanistic determinism that eliminates human contingency.

I thereby reject the notion that only physical matter and its motions are real and that everything—nature, history, even human thought—is reducible to matter moving in accordance with the same timeless “iron laws” of motion.

I reject utopian socialism.

I reject Project ESG’s dictatorial control of life’s designs. I reject severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. Life is more than a checklist, more than a deterministic program designed to produce certain outcomes. I reject fascism.

Why do we need Project ESG? For the drama of who’s in and who’s out? To market the ideology of having wealth, power, and influence become increasingly concentrated in the hands of a select few oligarchic individuals and institutions promoting ESG and their new economic ideology of “stakeholder capitalism”?

What’s the rush to change the world? Why is there a hue and cry and John Kerry’s nasally nostrums about “fixing the climate” now? Because a few people say we need to “act now!” and their demands are constantly repeated on state media? There is no climate crisis but there certainly is a concerted effort being made by elites to change the social climate via a Great Reset. (See previous posts for more.)

Why a Black Mirror approach of unending pursuit of scientific and technological advancement?

Why do we need to change what is working? And there is much that is working. Capitalism works. Nuclear energy works. Traditional marriage and the nuclear family works. We notice the loss when what works is sidelined and corrupted by social planners who tell us there’s a better way.

And, what about Chesterton’s fence, the principle that you don’t destroy what you don’t understand. Reforms should not be made until the reasoning behind the existing state of affairs is understood. (See below for more.) One should not be rewiring society without a knowledge of history and of what circuitry works.

And there’s this: without God, the world looks to itself for a moral compass, hence Project ESG. Elites consider those under them to be lost sheep designers who need a global shepherd to direct them.

Without God, humans look to the world for drama to give meaning to their life. Many people rely on the media and social media to give meaning to their nihilistic existence. Hence, increasing paganism.

Without God, humans look to the world for identity and affirmation. Hence the vitriol and rage when gays, trannies, drag queens, and the like are not affirmed in every conversation. Project ESG makes sure that narcissism is affirmed with its DEI metrics.

Without God, Project ESG and the Great Reset look like paths forward for humanity when in reality they are paths toward the subjugation of humans under totalitarianism. The murderous history of totalitarianism will repeat itself if the elites have their way.

Project ESG judges believe they own the future and not just their future, your future. They believe they can fashion the future by refashioning you.

Like Project Runway, Project ESG is a game show with a few elitist judges determining whether you are worthy to be involved in their world. Contestants will learn whether Big banks find them Project ESG worthy of capital to survive.

“As you know in ESG, one day you’re in. And the next day, you’re out.”

They Believe they are entitled to special treatment or privileges.

They are excessively controlling.

They refuse to accept criticism.

They think they have all the answers.

They feel superior or invincible.

The Parable of Chesterton’s Fence « Meridian Magazine (latterdaysaintmag.com)

The great and wise G.K. Chesterton once wrote, (from Chesterton’s 1929 book, The Thing, in the chapter entitled, “The Drift from Domesticity)”:

“In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”

Born in Chicago, I lived in the Chicago area for 69 years. Last year I moved to Indiana. I had enough of Illinois Democrats, high property taxes, insane COVID mandates, and “fat cat” Governor J.B. Pritzker.

For many years I bought the Sunday Chicago Tribune solely for the comics, the crossword and a column by John Kass.

“Until summer 2020, his opinion pieces regularly appeared on page 2 of the main news section of the Tribune, instead of on the opinion/editorial pages; this is the spot formerly occupied by Mike Royko.

 . . . In June 2021, Kass took the buyout offer at the Chicago Tribune, after 38 years at the paper. In his final column, he announced his writing could continue to be found at johnkassnews.com. “Wikipedia

I read Kass’s columns because he was an objective journalist who spoke in no uncertain terms about the “Chicago way”. He wasn’t a Progressive mouthpiece like the rest of the Trib’s columnists.

(John Kass, also a lifetime Chicagoan who at one time studied film at Columbia, also recently moved to the “free state of Indiana”.)

Here’s a “Kasso” podcast about Brandon Johnson, the communist mayor of Chicago, and about Ukraine:

“On this episode, John’s younger brother Nicholas Kass, a retired American diplomat with over 30-years of experience -focused on Aegean/Eastern Mediterranean issues, takes a deep look at how we got to a war of attrition in Ukraine and whether or not this instability puts the future of NATO at risk.”

2. Vaccines convincing the public that herd immunity was conferred by mass vaccination instead of natural immunity in the backdrop of proliferating global disease spurred on by the industrialization and travel (globalization) of the 21st century.

3. Environmental and food estrogens (xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens) entering the human population through water (birth control), clothing (polyester, etc), and food derivatives (unfermented soybean products like oils, fillers, and mylks).

4. Social engineering promulgated by governments and the ruling class in order to condition the world to globohomo: a flat, homogeneous, global serfdom heavily reliant on big government and fully prepared for a massively consolidated western corporatist government.

Barrier to Entry

“In 1982 there was a crisis. A depraved madman had laced many Tylenol capsules with potassium cyanide. The ensuing deaths and shock at such a malicious and evil act swiftly brought an industry and FDA forces to action and together started enforcing strict guidelines for tamper-evident packaging.”

What is Tamper-Resistant Packaging?

By now, June 2023, you are used to tamper-proof and tamper-resistant packaging making packaging physically harder to open. Current regulations require that all OTC human drug products be packaged in tamper-resistant packaging. Requirements of the tamper-resistant packaging (TRP) regulations covering most OTC products were published by FDA in the FEDERAL REGISTER of November 5, 1982.

Per the Code of Federal Regulations CFR § 211.132 :

“A tamper-evident package is one having one or more indicators or barriers to entry which, if breached or missing, can reasonably be expected to provide visible evidence to consumers that tampering has occurred.”

If you have children, you are also aware that . . .

“Child-resistant (C-R) packaging, also referred to as “special packaging,” is used to reduce the risk of poisoning in children via the ingestion of potentially hazardous items including certain prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, pesticides, and household chemicals.”

Child-Resistant Packaging | Consumer Healthcare Products Association (chpa.org)

“Barriers to entry” promote product safety, i.e., no disastrous events, and the integrity of the product, i.e., quality control.

In 2021 there was a crisis. Depraved madmen began lacing humans with mRNA-altering-aborted-fetal-cell permeated vaccines. Tampering with human subjects had occurred.

The clinical trials for the mRNA jabs were shut down after two months. The FDA approved the mRNA jabs even though long-term risks and complications hadn’t been properly assessed. The ensuing deaths and lack of shock at such a malicious and evil act swiftly brought an industry and FDA forces to action and together they doubled down and began recommending boosters shots, shots for pregnant women and shots for children. (The effects of the vaccines are being properly assessed now by others not tied to Pfizer and Big Pharma.)

The Biden regime mandated the COVID-19 vaccination tampering for a large swath of the American workforce who told to take the jab or wear a mask and be continually tested. If you were in the military, you were told to take the jab or be relieved from duty. Religious exemptions were not allowed.

(In 2021 I worked for a major engineering company that was a federal contractor. The Biden regime mandated via OSHA that any federal contractor with over 100 employees had to impose the jab on their employees or make them wear a mask and be continually tested. I put in a religious exemption. I would not take the jab or wear a mask or be tested. I didn’t want to be tampered with. My company wisely allowed me and others to work from home.)

Remember the concerted push to break through the barrier to entry, the tamper resistance, so that humans could be laced with the untested mRNA-altering-aborted-human-fetal-cell permeated vaccine?

We agree based on trial that a “barrier to entry” promotes product safety, i.e., no disastrous events, and it promotes the integrity of the product, i.e., quality control for OTC medicines, household chemicals and food products. But what about “barriers to entry” to protect the life and integrity of the nation and its citizenry beyond packaging? What about “barriers to entry” that protect Americans from anyone wanting to tamper with America?

For the common good, shouldn’t there be a barrier to entry at our southern border? Why is our southern border porous? Why is the Biden regime lacing our country with fentanyl that poisons and kills Americans? Why did the Biden regime end rapid DNA testing at the border? Why was this “barrier to entry”, which protected immigrant children from abuse, removed?

And why is the Biden regime allowing in the criminal element from other countries? Why is the safety of Americans and integrity of America being tampered with? Because depraved madmen – globalists all – want to lace our country with low-cost workers (and supposed Democrat voters) and with immigrant women and children to be used for sex trafficking. Because depraved madmen do not care about the safety of American citizens nor about the integrity of the U.S.

Why are our children being tampered with in public schools? Because depraved madmen want to lace our children with poisonous indoctrination. Because depraved madmen want to break through the parental “barrier of entry” that protects children from all manner of societal evil. Because depraved madmen want to groom children and traffic them for sex.  Because depraved madmen want them to grow up and become useful idiots for the gospels of CRT and climate change.

Why are the Biden regime and many of our representatives willing to turn over U.S. sovereignty, a “barrier of entry” that protects our nation’s integrity, to the World health Organization and the World Economic Forum? Because they are depraved madmen who want to lace Americans with the poison of a New World Order. Depraved madmen will forcibly break through any tamper resistance to their ideological programs.

Tell me. Are you hearing anything in the media or from your representatives about the coming National Digital Health ID being implemented by the Federal Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology? It looks like the “barrier of entry” to our health privacy will be smashed even though the HIPPA Security Rule defines “confidentiality” to mean that e-PHI (electronic protected health information”) is not available or disclosed to unauthorized persons. Depraved madmen want their way with you.

Most U.S. Citizens have no idea of what is being tampered with under the guise of public health safety and “for a new era of global responsibility and cooperation”? Why are these things not talked about openly? Why are these things off of the radar of our representatives?

Why do our representatives in Congress protect everything except our Bill of Rights? Our right to privacy? Our right to free speech? Our freedoms? Our Constitution?

What I’ve learned over 70 years and especially since 2020 is that you cannot trust the government, the media, many judges, and some political candidate to maintain our Constitution’s “barrier to entry” that protects our free speech, our privacy, our due process, and our freedoms. Each of these has had their integrity “barrier to entry” broken through. They are all compromised. But these must know, in no uncertain terms, that you will not be compromised, that you will not be tampered with.

Here’s Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament, with words you must heed:

Tell your representatives by email, letter and phone repeatedly that you want nothing to do with the following:

Environmental and social governance (ESG) for your state’s finances. (I told my retirement funds financial consultant that I do not want any of my funds invested in any ESG funds. She said that many of the clients have stated the same thing.)

Digital currency replacing physical currency

A National Digital Health ID System

The World Health Organization. Trump had pulled us out of WHO control, and the Biden regime put the U.S. back under WHO’s thumb. Tell your rep that you want the U.S. out from the WHO.

The World Economic Forum (Dear God, save us from elites – “omnipotent moral busybodies”.)

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” – C. S. Lewis

As individuals within a family, a church, and a community, we must become Tamper-proof and Tamper-resistant. Say “NO!” to digital IDs, to digital currency, to the WHO, and to the WEF. So “NO!” to the media – turn it off. (I stream Home – Real America’s Voice News (americasvoice.news) for the signal, not the noise.)

We must not become porous, letting in the lacing influences of depraved men. Depraved men? G.K. Chesterton makes it clear: “Take away the supernatural and what remains is the unnatural.”

We must champion freedom of choice and bodily autonomy.

We must champion parental rights (we do not co-parent with the government).

We must champion and protect data privacy – health, financial, location, etc. – no matter how much pressure is forced upon us to break through privacy’s “barrier to entry” with the ploys of public health safety and a climate change crisis. Resist. Resist. Resist.

2023 and there is a crisis. Depraved madmen are attempting to lace our lives with their madness. Be the barrier to entry.

I believe the main reason for the lies about the novel virus is a desire for total predictability and control, with the clearly articulated intention of transforming society; beginning by dismantling the financial system through lockdowns and furlough, while the immediate practical goal of lockdown was to provide the causus belli for injecting as many people as possible with materials designed not to induce immunity, but to demand repeat inoculation, to cause injury and death, and to control freedom of movement. I’m sure they’re pretty content with getting at least one needle into 6,000,000,000 people. . . .

As I always say, I cannot know much for sure. I don’t have a copy of the script of this, the greatest crime in history. But, whatever Covid actually is, I don’t believe that what was called influenza disappeared conveniently in early 2020. It’s another lie. It’s what they do. It’s all they do. –Dr Mike Yeadon

The Science Made Me Do It.

A short time ago I came upon a social media post by someone with an “atheist” handle. He put out an unexpected terse comment in a thread about space science. It was meant to mock Christians: “Christians pray to man-made gods”. So, I responded.

His defense of such a claim and against the scientific claims I had made toward evidence of a creator, which included fine-tuning and the anthropic principle, was based on quotes from his man-made gods: Neil deGrasse Tyson and Sam Harris. He ended our back and forth with a dismissive comment.

I relate this to show that scientism – “the opinion that science and the scientific method are the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality” (Wikipedia) – has become the defense strategy in cosmic trials deciding “What is true and who says so”.  A recent cosmic trial involving the COVID, nee influenza, pandemic, saw the scientism strategy used to defend the criminal takeover of humanity with its appropriation of “What is true and who says so”.

A man who declared “I am the science” – Anthony Fauci – was the star witness for the defense. On the stand Fauci said “The science” was behind everything he said and did. And that’s why he was “calling the shots” about how COVID should be handled. And though substantive claims had been brought against the “The science” triggering a trial, unprecedented action by the court prohibited witnesses for the other side to take the stand to support their claims.

Extensive amounts of scientific evidence to the contrary had been blocked from the trial, including the Great Barrington Declaration. Key plaintiff witnesses, including medical doctors and pathologists, who would testify against the claims of “The Science” were threatened with loss of licensure and censored. Outside the courtroom they were labeled “science deniers’ and “conspiracy theorists”.

The jury wasn’t sequestered. Its members watched the mainstream media where COVID was presented 24/7 as a public health crisis and “The science” as the world’s savior.  They heard that obeying “The Science” would lead to “flattening the curve”, “ending lockdowns”, and its vaccine would “stop COVID in its tracks”. Under that influence and the fear of the same repercussions the key plaintiff witnesses suffered, the jury ruled in favor of Fauci’s “The science made me do it.” They ok’d a power grab by the local, state, and federal government and the CDC, NIH, and Big Pharma.

As a result, people were told what to do with their bodies, their relationships, their social activity, their businesses, and their churches. And they were told, in essence, that science and the scientific method, in the hands of a select few, was the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality. As a result of that, power and wealth accrued for the winners of scientism’s trial.

Is there a “Climate Change Crisis” is the next cosmic trial and the outcome has already been rigged in favor of science and the scientific method in the hands of a few. Expert witness testimony opposed to the defense’s “Climate Change Crisis” propositions will not be given a hearing. The media is on the payroll of “Climate Change Crisis” defense team.

The truth about the world and reality is being altered with opposing testimony being censured and the promotion of a climate change “consensus”, a consensus that is based on crystal ball climate models generating position papers often paid for with grants that expect a certain outcome if more money is to flow. And though TV meteorologists forecast weather only 5 or 7 or 10 days out, climate activists predict apocalyptic events in terms of years. Reality is being altered with an environmental version of the Late Great Planet Earth.

With a looming “catastrophe” on the horizon, the climate cult has been hard at work making climate converts – young people who will catastrophize about a climate crisis.

“How dare you!”

“Catastrophizing is a cognitive distortion that prompts people to jump to the worst possible conclusion, usually with very limited information or objective reason to despair. When a situation is upsetting, but not necessarily catastrophic, they still feel like they are in the midst of a crisis.”

Catastrophizing | Psychology Today

Getting young people to catastrophize about man-made climate change will motivate more money changing hands for wind farms, solar panels, and a lot of other undisclosed causes, including financing dictators. You see, climate scientism is not about the climate. It is about wealth redistribution. It is about taking tax payer money and throwing it around (no doubt for a cut). Those involved will defend their actions: “The science made me do it.”

“If they were honest, the climate alarmists would admit that they are not working feverishly to hold down global temperatures — they would acknowledge that they are instead consumed with the goal of holding down capitalism and establishing a global welfare state.”

Another Climate Alarmist Admits Real Motive Behind Warming Scare | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis – IBD (investors.com)

And . . .

(OTTMAR EDENHOFER, UN IPCC OFFICIAL): “First of all, developed countries have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community. But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole.” (Emphasis mine.)

UN IPCC Official Admits ‘We Redistribute World’s Wealth By Climate Policy’ | Newsbusters

Scientism, a God-free worldview, has no moral constraint. It is not even constrained by the scientific method. It is more in line with Gnosticism:

“It’s only when we pass from Science to scientism, the belief that Science has, and must have, all answers, that we reach gnosticism.”  Scientism Is Gnosticism – by William M Briggs (substack.com)

Scientism is readily used by manmade gods who believe they have esoteric knowledge to commandeer reality, and therefore human life and property, for their clever ideas.

“Systems have arisen in history where science ceased being science, yet nevertheless operated under the guise of science. As [Eric} Voegelin identifies, these include, but are not limited to, Marxism and National Socialism.” Gnostic Scientism and Technocratic Totalitarianism • Patristic Faith

Scientism accepts that evolution’s “survival of the fittest” explains the struggle for individuals and societies and that it explains all phenomena of the physical world and man’s agency politically, economically, psychologically and socially. Central planning attempts to direct “the struggle” with scientism-endorsed ideology.

Yes, scientism – “the opinion that science and the scientific method are the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality” – turns out to be the explanation for treating human beings as lab rats in social engineering projects. Scientism’s mutations of Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” led to eugenics, sterilizations, and exterminations in the past. Scientism’s manmade gods will lead us down the same paths.

Science and the scientific method in the hands of a few who are linked to globalism (WEF, WHO) and linked to the medical-industrial complex, the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, the climate-industrial complex, and the bio-industrial complex will bring about the “Great Reset” thereby altering the human race and the landscape with its “truth about the world and reality”. And they will say in their defense “The science made me do it.”

10 Things You Should Know about Scientism | Crossway Articles

*****

Nuclear power is a carbon-free and a safe energy source. Do you hear it promoted by climate-change activists? Consider that in order to use renewable energy to power the United States with all of the EVs being proposed, that about half the land area of the U.S. would need to be covered with solar panels, wind farms and electric grids. (The Sierra Club would love that! Not!) Nuclear plants take up small land areas and supply vast amounts of energy. See France’s nuclear program, for example.

Nuclear power can certainly arrest manmade climate change while producing huge amounts of reliable electricity. But it seems that scientism’s climate change gurus do not want the problem solved. Maybe, they want to revise the world to their liking using the climate change/renewable energy scam. Maybe they want the Great Reset to be scientism’s answer to all things.

“Belief In God HALVES!! What Is Happening?!!” – YouTube

You Will Be the Tradeoff

Something is looming on the horizon. Dark clouds of suffocating monoculture are forming to blanket the earth. Finite gods – the elites – have been gathering in their Geneva temple to decide how shall we then live under their shadow.

Yes, One World Governance, aka central planning, is ominous unless, of course, you like being told what to do, what to eat, what to drive, how far you can drive, how you can spend your money, that you’ll have to give up your property, when you can leave your assigned housing, what you cannot say, that you’ll have to wear a mask and be locked down and take multiple vaccines and have your digital health passport constantly updated so you are allowed to leave your assigned housing and purchase your assigned allotment of vegan and bug-based food (cf. North Korea tyranny).

Yes, One World Governance is ominous unless, of course, you are OK with elites picking winners and losers based on a social credit score and existing merely on their whim.

If you walked around with a mask on as one of my neighbors did up until the NYT came out with the February article Mask Mandates Did Nothing. Will Any Lessons Be Learned? you may one of those who truly like to be dominated by someone who does your thinking for you. Based on public behavior witnessed since March 2020, there are earthlings who like this kind of commandeering of their life. And like the rest of their ilk, they want to make sure that everyone is commandeered as well. They feel safe when authoritarian rule keeps others in check. They feel safe when others are made to think like them.

Suffocating monoculture? Certainly you are aware of political correctness and Wokeness and the censoring of public discourse. You may a victim of such suppression or the applier of such suppression via indoctrination programs such as DEI and CRT. No doubt, you are also aware of the repudiation of Christianity and all things America as being culturally fashionable.

Well, stultifying homogeneity didn’t just show up one day. It’s been on a long march through the institutions, as prescribed by the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937). The family, churches, schools, the media, and corporate and governmental bureaucracies – Marxist rhetoric and thinking has infiltrated every level of our society by its sympathizers and fellow travelers. 

Angelo M. Codevilla, formerly a professor emeritus of international relations at Boston University, wrote about the development of cultural homogeneity within the ruling class and its operation within society in his 2010 essay America’s Ruling Class And the perils of revolution.

Today’s ruling class, from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as tastes and habits. These amount to a social canon of judgments about good and evil, complete with secular sacred history, sins (against minorities and the environment), and saints. Using the right words and avoiding the wrong ones when referring to such matters — speaking the “in” language — serves as a badge of identity. Regardless of what business or profession they are in, their road up included government channels and government money because, as government has grown, its boundary with the rest of American life has become indistinct. Many began their careers in government and leveraged their way into the private sector. Some, e.g., Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, never held a non-government job. Hence whether formally in government, out of it, or halfway, America’s ruling class speaks the language and has the tastes, habits, and tools of bureaucrats. It rules uneasily over the majority of Americans not oriented to government.

And so it is that we continually hear stereotypical representations of a “Climate Change Crisis”, of “Trust the Science”, of “Critical Race Theory”, of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion”, of “LGBTQ+ advocacy”, of “Environmental Justice”, and of a “Build Back Better” future.

And so it is that behind the “in” language masking are Marxist elites who are eager to strip you of your property and freedoms and to take over the means of production – for “a better future”. (Listen to podcast below to learn about the life, death and resurrection of Marxism.)

And so it is that any questioning of the elite’s social canon of judgments is suppressed. Debate, therefore, is out of the question and “the science is settled” is the nail on argument’s coffin. Keeping people ignorant of opposing views works to produce a monoculture receptive of more reinforcing sameness.

And so it is that cultures and lifestyles (not Christian, not American) are promoted as equal. And the sexes, like our southern border with its child and drug trafficking promoted by the Biden regime, must not have a border wall.

And so it is that merchandisers communicate their moral viewpoint, aka social canon of judgments, via their products:  Bud Light, Target, North Face, Harley to name a few.

And so it is that a Christian worldview must be silenced by any means necessary. The elites believe they have gained, with institutional pedigrees, esoteric knowledge of all that is. Hence the social canon of judgments (Woke doctrine) and “the science” pronouncements. They are the enlightened ones. They are the seers. And they operate with a volitional rejection and contempt for Christianity ala Nietzsche.

(“In 1889, at the age of 44, Nietzsche suffered a psychotic breakdown and was admitted to the mental asylum in Basel, Switzerland. He was later transferred to the asylum in Jena, Germany. For over a year, Nietzsche lingered in a state of complete mental collapse, and he died in August 1900.

Today, Nietzsche’s relativism, naturalism, and nihilism continue to impact philosophy, art, and culture. His defiant rejection of religion, especially Christianity, and his advocacy of violence and self-seeking make his ideas the antithesis of biblical love and self-sacrifice.” 

What impact did Friedrich Nietzsche have on the Christian faith? | GotQuestions.org)

And so it is that in America a two-tier system of justice exists – one system of justice for the elites and for those they chose and another one for the rest of America. Justice, as practiced by the elites, is not a process of agreed-upon law. Rather, it is outcome based.

And so it is that elites label those who don’t embrace their Globalist/Marxist worldview as “extremists”, “threats to democracy”, and, with regard to the debt ceiling, “economic terrorists”. Their idea of democracy is a say-and-do-as-I-say monoculture. In other words, a “no dissent” Democracy.

“The Biden administration is doling out taxpayer money through an anti-terrorism grant initiative to a university program that has explicitly lumped the Republican Party, as well as Christian and conservative groups, into the same category as Nazis, according to documents shared exclusively with Fox News Digital.”

University program linking Christians, Republicans to Nazis granted DHS funds under ‘anti-terror’ initiative | Fox News

And so it is that the suffocating monoculture of bureaucrats is advancing and covering the earth with party-line tropes learned in educational institutions and reinforced in cultural gatherings, mutual admiration society meetings, e.g., Ted Talks, and organizations like the World Economic Forum (WEF).

(I see the WEF as akin to C.S. Lewis’ The National Institute of Coordinated Experiments (“N.I.C.E.”) as described in That Hideous Strength. “N. I. C. E.’s symbol, devoted as it was to “Technocratic and Objective Man” (That Hideous Strength, 259), was a muscular male nude grasping a thunderbolt (That Hideous Strength, p. 215).” – The Devils in Our World – Official Site | CSLewis.com

I also see the WEF as akin to the fictional criminal enterprise Spectre).

And so it is that so-called economist Paul Krugman will produce nonsense NYT op-eds about the economy revealing that he is all in with monoculture thinking. And Democrat politicians, e.g., Marxist AOC, while defending their bizarre version of reality, will spout monoculture platitudes. And professors and school boards and teachers repeat the monoculture “in” language with the result that our children repeat the monoculture “in” language and way of thinking. Businesses are requiring training programs in mastering monoculture’s dogma of DEI. (That is one main reason I decided to retire at the end of last year.)

And so it is that CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. drone on with monoculture insipidities, as they have been taught and paid for by paying elites.

And so it is today that a diverse group who have been pressed and formed to be exactly alike in thought word and deed have come off the assembly line ready to tell you that they have a solution for you. It involves central planning with you as data for the coming Clim-demic.

“Climate change is increasing both the risk of another global pandemic and the need to collaborate and share data,” said Dr. Rajiv Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation.

The Rockefeller Foundation and World Health Organization Announce Partnership To Expand Global Pandemic Preparedness in Era of Climate Change – The Rockefeller Foundation

From COVID Containment to Climate Change Containment, from Pandemic Preparedness to pandemic treaty, and from guidelines to global governance, the days when you can freely choose and make your own decisions are quickly coming to an end. With monoculture tropes as breadcrumbs, you will find yourself walking into a social engineering experiment conjured up by a consortium of busy bodies: the World Health Organization (WHO), the World economic Forum (WEF), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the United Nations (UN). All this, because the New World Order needs saving from you, independent free-to-make-decisions chaotic you.

Monoculture tropes from the WEF website (Emphasis mine.):

The World Economic Forum’s network of Global Future Councils is the world’s foremost multistakeholder and interdisciplinary knowledge network dedicated to promoting innovative thinking to shape a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable future

Sounds wonderful, eh? The idea of going along with WEF’s central planning seems so agreeable especially when fellow travelers are all the right buzz words.

Let’s take a look at what some of the WEF central planning involves:

Now, let’s look at a bit of history. If you are not into history, then at least consider that the following might indicate that your future on social media may end with death by central planning.

From 1960–1962, an estimated thirty million people died of starvation in China, more than any other single famine in recorded human history. Most tragically, this disaster was largely preventable. The ironically titled Great Leap Forward was supposed to be the spectacular culmination of Mao Zedong’s program for transforming China into a Communist paradise. In 1958, Chairman Mao launched a radical campaign to outproduce Great Britain, mother of the Industrial Revolution, while simultaneously achieving Communism before the Soviet Union. But the fanatical push to meet unrealistic goals led to widespread fraud and intimidation, culminating not in record-breaking output but the starvation of approximately one in twenty Chinese. (Emphasis mine.)

China’s Great Leap Forward – Association for Asian Studies

As you watch the following video, think Climate Change Policies. When central planning doesn’t work, humans are the tradeoff in the experiment.

Mao: “Human beings will fight nature and win.” (Mao would be great as a climate scientist. I wonder if John Kerry uses Mao’s play book)

Central planning. Why would any intelligent person would oppose it? After all, individuals plan. But hold on. Individuals freely make tradeoffs each and every day such as to what to eat, how to spend their money, etc. Central planning’s solutions, which involve a social credit score, make you the tradeoff. Do as you are told and you may live to see another day. You see, the New World covenant in your blood is the ultimate solution to the problem of humans.

Tell me. How would someone who sits on some council in Geneva Switzerland know what a person living in central Indiana needs? These people are not the paraclete, one who come beside you – the Holy Spirit. These are anti-Christ figures who want to lord it over you.

Please don’t fool yourself into thinking that science and technology and mankind have so evolved that central planning and Marxism will succeed this time around. Don’t rationalize that some good will come of it. Don’t be fooled by central planning objectives.

Don’t be fooled by WHO’s One Health initiative – “By linking humans, animals and the environment, One Health can help to address the full spectrum of disease control”. Yet, with evolved science and technology, you will not be considered human. You will be data to be surveilled. And like with the untested COVID mNRA vaccine that has caused so much harm, you will become WHO’s science project. (A test of pandemic preparedness is being planned for this fall. Be prepared for more mandates.)

And don’t be fooled. The destruction of the U.S. has been planned. Our open southern border is no mistake. What’s happening is being coordinated by globalist central planners. Running the compromised Biden regime are globalists Barack Obama, Susan Rice, Eric Holder and a cabal of America haters. They direct the “fundamental transformation” gutting of America while Biden slurps ice cream, sniff girl’s hair, and proclaims “White supremacy is America’s greatest threat” (an obvious projection of his own behavior).

The administrative state – most of them are incompetent ruinous idiots, e.g., Janet Yellen and Pete Buttigieg. These functionaries and other useful idiots will destroy America with their uselessness.

The Green New Deal is central planning shoved down our throats. It’s the present cause of high inflation, the devaluing of the U.S. Dollar and national security, and is behind the $1.7Tn Omnibus spending bill of 4,155 pages that burdens the nation with crushing debt.

Yes, a One World Government is ominous unless, of course, one is apathetic and doesn’t care about being grist for the New World mill. It’s hard to believe that so many voted for the destructive Joe Biden and members of the globalist Uniparty.

Remember. Central planning has a history, past and present, of using humans as tradeoffs in its ideological project. Forcing people to live paycheck to paycheck due to high inflation is just one tradeoff. Keep in mind, elites love themselves and have a “wonderful” central plan for your life. So, what should one do?

Walk away from the WEF, the WHO and the central planning of your life now. Tell your representatives and senators that you want the U.S. out of the WHO right now. Tell them that you want nothing to do with the WEF, digital currency, social credit scores, digital tracking, and health passports. If they send you a boilerplate response then keep sending and calling in your message. So many reps are lazy and find it easy to let others, e.g., the WHO, take the responsibility. And don’t buy into the daily fear mongering in the media. Get off social media and go touch some grass.

Here’s Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament, with words you should heed:

*****

“Both constrained and unconstrained visions are ultimately concerned with social results. The unconstrained vision seeks directly to achieve those results socially – that is, through collective decisions prescribing the desired outcomes. The constrained vision considers it beyond the capability of any manageable set of decision-makers to marshal the requisite knowledge, and dangerous to concentrate sufficient power, to carry out their decisions, even if were possible.”

― Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles

“Clearly, only very unequal intellectual and moral standing could justify having equality imposed, whether the people want it or not, as Dworkin suggests, and only very unequal power would make it possible.”
― Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles

“In short, attempts to equalize economic results lead to greater—and more dangerous—inequality in political power.”
― Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions

Fundamentalist religion is the most pervasive vision of central planning, though many fundamentalists may oppose human central planning as a usurpation or “playing God. This is consistent with the fundamentalist vision of an unconstrained God and a highly constrained man.

― Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles

“There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.”
― Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles

Why I write:

“The simple act of an ordinary brave man is not to participate in lies, not to support false actions! His rule: Let that come into the world, let it even reign supreme—only not through me. But it is within the power of writers and artists to do much more: to defeat the lie! For in the struggle with lies art has always triumphed and shall always triumph! Visibly, irrefutably for all! Lies can prevail against much in this world, but never against art.”

Dr. James Lindsay speaking about woke culture and its relationship to Marxism 

Dr. Lindsay writes about his work:

I was recently asked how I sleep at night. Now, I intentionally misinterpreted this question and answered “like a baby.” I say that I misinterpreted it because the guy was blown away and uncomfortable after hearing my perspective on everything that’s going on right now with Woke Marxism and the related bid for tyranny over the West and the world.

The reason I told him I sleep like a baby is that I’m doing something about it and know I’m doing something about it. This sort of sleep-stealing anxiety comes from being nervous and feeling unable to do anything, or through the gnawing of your conscience when you know you should be doing something but can’t. If you know you’re doing what you should, it won’t chew at you and keep you up at night.

Left-wing authoritarianism (LWA) very evident today:

“Costello and colleagues conceptualized LWA as a tripartite construct consisting of three correlated dimensions: anticonventionalism, top-down censorship, and antihierarchical aggression.

“Authoritarianism can be found on both sides of the political spectrum,” Krispenz and Bertrams said. “Indicators of authoritarianism on the political left are anticonventionalism (i.e., the absolute endorsement of progressive moral values), top-down censorship (i.e., the preference for the use of governmental and institutional authority to suppress any speech that is considered as offensive and intolerant), and antihierarchical aggression (i.e., the motivation to use force and aggression to overthrow established hierarchies).””

The Problem of Central Planning | Mises Institute

“Since March 2020, we may have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country. Executive officials across the country issued emergency decrees on a breathtaking scale. Governors and local leaders imposed lockdown orders forcing people to remain in their homes.

They shuttered businesses and schools public and private. They closed churches even as they allowed casinos and other favored businesses to carry on. They threatened violators not just with civil penalties but with criminal sanctions too. . ..

Federal executive officials entered the act too. Not just with emergency immigration decrees. They deployed a public-health agency to regulate landlord-tenant relations nationwide. They used a workplace-safety agency to issue a vaccination mandate for most working Americans.

They threatened to fire noncompliant employees, and warned that service members who refused to vaccinate might face dishonorable discharge and confinement. Along the way, it seems federal officials may have pressured social-media companies to suppress information about pandemic policies with which they disagreed.”

Diabolical Comedy?

Was it a dream? A prophetic vision?

I saw myself standing before a parchment. It was Sandro Botticelli’s Map of Hell based on Dante’s Inferno. Or, was it? The illustration matched Botticelli’s – a structure of an inverted cone, like a funnel, which degrades with its nine circles to the center of the Earth, where . . .

But as I looked closer, I saw that this Abyss of Hell was a perverted version of Botticelli’s illustration. All that held what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable – the root and the branch of the good and sublime – had been torn up and thrown into the circles of punishment which spiraled downward to the mouth of the drain and into perpetual exile.

Millions upon millions had been ripped from their homes, their farms, their businesses, and their churches. For, it was determined that the abolition of property, families, and religion was necessary for the one true faith of Globalist/Marxist revolution.

Above the pit– the Overworld –was deep darkness and an overpowering stench. It was the darkest of ages, filled with ignorance and propaganda and saturated with a kind of speech that is purely instrumental and devoid of all sincerity and honesty. The smell of death arose from the wars, bio-plagues and famines.

With light shining up from the pit I saw a pair of towers called “Violence” and “Lies”. They stood at the edge of the pit, one at each end of its diameter. Between the towers along the perimeter of the pit stood the corrupt, the slanderers, the licentious, the liars, the moral relativists, the self-righteous ideologues, and fanatics of all sorts.

The mob howled and laughed as they tossed “the enemies of the people” and “those cockroaches!” into the pit. Some danced with signs: “Democracy!” “Progress!” “Revolution!” “Diversity! Equity! Inclusion!” and “No Enemies to the Left”.

I saw myself journey downward. Entering the first circle I saw many wringing their hands. Here were scientists, doctors, and academics required to work on Overworld projects in exchange for better provisions and gentler treatment than others in the lower circles. One doctor whispered in my ear, saying that if she fell into disfavor with the Overworld authorities, she would lose privileges and be sent down.

In circle 2 were people sentenced for their lust for truth and tradition. I saw one man tightly clenching a book – “The Rule of Law” – and another, the U.S. Constitution. I saw many holding onto the Holy Scriptures. Others clutched scores of classical music and others held great works of art and literature. One man held a photograph of his dead mother and father. All of the past had been banished from society, for the past was being rewritten for the future.

In circle 3 were the gluttonous. These had an insatiable appetite for “misinformation” – that which isn’t authorized and allowed by the Overworld.

In circle 4 were placed the greedy. These had kept to themselves and wouldn’t join in the Overworld marches and campaigns. They hid their money from the central bank of the Over Lords, bought and sold in the black market, and gave to the poor. Both the use of the black market and charity had been outlawed. All currency was to pass through the State for its approval and distribution.

In circle 5 I found those who had made the Over Lords angry. These were considered belligerent and useless. For, these had had a life of their own and were unwilling to collaborate and turn in their neighbors. These were also unwilling to vote in and steal the vote for the Overworld elections.

In the 6th circle held those known for heresy: deniers of “the science”, climate apocalypse deniers, the unvaccinated, the “misinformation” repeaters and those who believed in a “kingdom of God”. One of the Overworld commandments: “Thou shall not question”.

The 7th circle held those who acted with violence. These had used “hate speech” against those in the Overworld. These had blasphemed the Over Lords with memes, political cartoons, and jokes. Also held here, those who were believed to hold thoughts of animus against the Over Lords.

The 8th circle held the frauds. These can’t be trusted in the Overworld. They had said good things about the Over World up top but in private they ridiculed the Over World and called for revolt. These had been turned in by a neighbor.

The 9th circle was reserved for the treacherous. These included whistle blowers, “extremists”, and political subversives -those “truth-tellers” who spoke and acted against the Overworld regime. Those who called Jesus “Lord” were considered treasonous. All in the 9th circle were sentenced to perpetual exile at the bottom of the funnel gulag and eventual death.

When I came out of this most disturbing trance, I wrote down all that I had witnessed and understood.

There had been a radical reversal of the moral universe: evil was being hailed as “good” and “progressive” in its work of uniting the Overworld with One Ideology. The truly good was vilified as an evil that kept the “good” of the One Ideology from uniting the Overworld.

The rainbow, a pure reflection-of-light symbol of the Creator’s over-arching love for his creation, had been forced to the ground and spoiled by the self-deified. Light was banished, sent underground and out of sight. The One Ideology was declared “the way, the truth and the life”.

I understood that the “fundamental transformation” tempest had so shipwrecked the created order and function of the world that one could say “Hell was empty and all the devils were here” in the Overworld.

I understood the Overworld as a capricious, violent, and lawless place filled with insanity and terror-imposed ideology. The true nature of reality had been subverted by a “two plus two equals five” compulsory mentality. Pamphlets promoting scientism, determinism, collectivism, and the core “ism” – materialism were handed out with the daily ration. As people fed on this “bread” and the gruel of the media, the unthinkable was normalized and so were gulag camps. Squalid personalities, whose conviction of their own vanity and power came from their urge to destroy and their grandiose talk of building a “New World Order”, ruled the Overworld with the steamroller of their ideological enterprise.

And finally, I understood that into the darkness and stench of the Overworld there rose sparks of the human spirit and the incense of prayers from the pit’s soul-destroying circumstance of suffering and repression. I understood these phenomena as the ascent of the human soul in its struggle against the forces of evil. These in the pit had not given up their souls to the Ideological Lie.

I understood that in the man-made Abyss of Hell, created to overcome the light, that night, darkness, and despair could be purged from the soul with suffering’s catharsis. I saw light overcoming the darkness. And I saw the rainbow once again . . . in the glimmering tears of the suffering, the sad, and the longing.

“Macbeth’s self-justifications were feeble – and his conscience devoured him. Yes, even Iago was a little lamb, too. The imagination and spiritual strength of Shakespeare’s evildoers stopped short at a dozen corpses. Ideology—that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others’ eyes, so that he won’t hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors. That was how the agents of the Inquisition fortified their wills: by invoking Christianity; the conquerors of foreign lands, by extolling the grandeur of their Motherland; the colonizers, by civilization; the Nazis, by race; and the Jacobins (early and late), by equality, brotherhood, and the happiness of future generations…. Without evildoers there would have been no Archipelago.”

*****

“Alexander Solzhenitsyn, in volume I of The Gulag, argued that totalitarianisms share ten things in common:

  1. Fear.  “Fear was not always the fear of arrest.  There were immediate threats: purges, inspections, the completion of security questionnaires—routine or extraordinary ones—dismissal from work, deprivation of resident permit, expulsion or exile.”
  2. Servitude.  Internal passports, legal prohibitions on buying, selling, or renting housing stock greatly limited one’s ability to escape, the right to exit was denied.
  3. Secrecy and Distrust.  “This universal mutual mistrust had the effect of deepening the mass-grave pit of slavery.  The moment someone began to speak up frankly, everyone stepped back and shunned him: ‘A provocation!’  And therefore anyone who burst out with a sincere protest was predestined to loneliness and alienation.”
  4. Universal Ignorance.  Because of number three, no one could trust the information of another, or trust another with information.  This resulted in true isolation of the right-thinking person.
  5. Squealing on one another, further eroding any trust that might exist.  Without trust, civilization proved impossible.
  6. Betrayal, therefore, became a norm.  Sons betrayed fathers, daughters betrayed mothers, husband betrayed wives, and supposed best friends betrayed one another.
  7. Corruption, as a result, became endemic, as the betrayers became professionals, earning positions, status, and wealth for their inside information, true or false.  Frequently, one informed on a person simply to acquire something the other person had or had created.  The informer then became the owner and the “creator.”
  8.  Lies.  “The permanent lie becomes the only safe form of existence, in the same way as betrayal.  Every wag of the tongue can be overheard by someone, every facial expression observed by someone.  Therefore every word, if it does not have to be a direct lie, is nonetheless obliged not to contradict the general, common lie.  There exists a collection of ready-made phrases, of labels, a selection of ready-made lies.
  9. Cruelty.  “And where among all the preceding qualities was there any place left for kindheartedness?  How could one possibility preserve one’s kindness while pushing away the hands of those who were drowning?  Once you have been steeped in blood, you can only become more cruel. . . . And when you add that kindness was ridiculed, that pity was ridiculed, that mercy was ridiculed—you’d never be able to chain all those who were drunk on blood.”
  10. Slave psychology.  The system, ultimately, made men impotent.”

The rapidly advancing totalitarian nightmare:

The advent of high-speed large volume (5G) digital technology leading to world-wide digital communications leading to almost unlimited interface will be used for totalitarian control. The advent of this technology is already being developed to bring about ultimate control via smart devices, digital health passports, digital implants and the coming Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

Previous totalitarian leaders controlled everything they could – the media, the church, the education, production, etc. – with physical terror and show trials. But they didn’t have the omnipresent terror of digital control of communications, commerce, and currency. Digital technology will be the ultimate totalitarian and will bring about the scenario above.

If the Biden regime turns over U.S. sovereignty to the World Health Organization, our health freedom and all of our freedoms, will become dependent on a few people at the WHO. Right now, I am seeing elected leaders and local governments turning over authority to public health agencies in the state. Local public health authorities do not want the responsibility or the liability of public health, so they will accept WHO’s authority.

Green energy/climate change/environmental justice tyranny. Laws are being passed, regulations are being issued from the administrative state, and the Biden regime has signed an Executive Order that will define and incumber life for Americans. We are living with an energy crisis of Biden’s own making. Inflation is just one of the destructive outcomes of Biden’s policies.

The administrative state, where the likes gain-of-function Anthony Fauci come from, bypasses laws to regulate every part of our lives.

The weaponized DOJ and FBI under Merrick Garland are assailing private citizens in their use of the First Amendment to speak against the government and setting them up for arrest.

The CIA is tracking U.S. citizens, collecting data to be used against them.

Quarantine camps, employed during COVID, will be built and used for the next pandemic – a deadly bird flu bioweapon pandemic.

Masters of the Future, Masters of Faith

Klaus Schwab, the creepy front man for the World Economic Forum, opened the annual confab of the global cabal in Davos, Switzerland with a call to “master the future.”

“We couldn’t meet at a more challenging time. We are confronted with so many crises simultaneously. What does it mean to master the future?”

“I think, to have a platform where all stakeholders of global society are engaged. Governments, businesses, civil society, the young generation—and I could go on. I think is the first step to meet all the challenges.”

Challenges? Stakeholders? Resolutions?

The WEF Declares 2023 the Year of “Polycrisis”:

Regarding the “polycrisis,” the WEF assembled an extensive matrix of threats facing the world. The top five short-term risks were the “cost-of-living crisis, natural disasters and extreme weather, geo-economic confrontation, failure to mitigate climate change, and erosion of social cohesion and societal polarization. . . “the top four most severe risks over the next 10 years are all environmental.”

Note: except for Natural disasters and extreme weather (force majeure) the “unprecedented multiple crises” or “Polycrisis” mentioned above have all been manufactured by stakeholders to produce a certain outcome.

The extensive matrix of threats facing the world are media hyped. Fear mongering using disaster scenarios and the urgency to act – without a second thought – is found in media narratives. If it doesn’t bleed a crisis narrative, it doesn’t lead.

Natural disaster and calamity are given to us to remind mankind of its powerlessness, and to turn us aside from our arrogance. But that doesn’t deter the proud.

Here in America, inflation and the cost-of living crisis is a crisis the Biden regime created with its socialist green new deal along with the ruinous overspending by Congress (see the recent $1.7 trillion Omnibus Bill). Geo-economic confrontation (wars and rumors of wars?) occurs because greedy and pompous leaders see themselves as masters of the future. The climate change catastrophe is a manufactured crisis as was the COVID pandemic. Erosion of social cohesion and societal polarization –Marxists erode social cohesion; the WEF supports race relations antagonism and the fragmentation of society.

The WEF future peddlers and predators view all of the world as one that can be controlled – reset – and mastered. They plan to do all this by 2030.

“Under the theme of ‘Cooperation in a Fragmented World’, we’ll look at how we can tackle the numerous and interlinked challenges the world is facing and find solutions through public-private cooperation.” –Davos 2023 Day 1: What to expect | World Economic Forum (weforum.org).

So, many of the same people who created the havoc and hell on earth with the COVID planned-demic and talked “Build Back Better” will be the same people “cooperating” in a public-private way to “fix’ things for the future.

Here, in three short videos, is International independent journalist Noor Bin Ladin reporting from Davos about the WEF’s “mastering the future” agenda:

“If no one power can enforce order, our world will suffer from a global order deficit.” 

-Klaus Schwab

Davos 2023: Major institutions, corporations, billionaires and governments, along with the media, are actively consolidating forces to produce a “one power” world. To wit, the FBI has been “cooperating” with big tech to purge dissenting Americans the DOJ has labeled “conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists” from public discourse. The following should scare the heck out of you:

One writer says that we should fear the Globalist American Empire more than the bond-villain-like Klaus Schwab. I agree. The GAE are more manipulative. Another writer says that All NWO Roads Lead to Israel. I also agree. And, this would comport with the what’s written in the Revelation of John. I would have no doubt that many godless and Christ-rejecting Jews are behind “mastering the future” programs. They will chose lesser gods.

If you have listened to or read any of the WEF’s grandiose word-salad propaganda, you never come across a mention of God. The WEF, you see, is a humanist and materialist anti-Christ organization. It is not aligned with “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”. Rather, it is aligned with” My kingdom come, My will be done, on across the earth as it is in my stake holdings.”

The Globalist Lord’s Prayer is a prayer for more wealth transfer. To wit, per Anthony Blinken, Secretary of State “a significant new security assistance package to help Ukraine” is in the works.

This package, which totals $2.5 billion, will bring total U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to an unprecedented approximately $27.5 billion since the beginning of the Administration. (Emphasis mine)

(Ukraine is not a U.S. ally. It’s a money laundering country. Ukraine’s border problem is Europe’s issue. Let Europe pay for guns and supplies. U.S., DO NOT escalate this fight. Nuclear war is on the table!)

“The theme of our meeting in Davos is cooperation in a fragmented world,” Klaus stated. In what the WEF calls the “Year of the Polycrisis,” Klaus declared that “economic, environmental, social, and geopolitical crises are converging and conflating, creating an extremely versatile and uncertain future.

The resolution of uncertainties is a very human concern. For the WEF and its Globalist cabal, resolution of uncertainties entails wealth transfers, complete digitization of life, monitoring every move, purchase, and association. We will eat and live as we are told. This will be our Orwellian future under the “masters of the future” unless we say “NO!” to their every incursion into our lives.

I cannot know individual motives. I can only base my opinion on messaging and methods and the obvious.

Let’s start here. The WEF has an underlying set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe. The WEF has a “global order” moral code to govern the conduct of human affairs. As you will learn, globalist morality will be compulsory.

Any institutionalized system that practices, with ardor and faith, a cause, principle, or system of beliefs and creates disciples is a religion. The WEF has obvious characteristics of a religion. (Even the godless have to believe in and worship something.)

The Global Order religion views the world through a materialist lens. Its practitioners employ a faith in means – the means to an end, as in seizing the means of production. Such is their communistic bent. They will take control of businesses for “the greater good”.

What we are witnessing now, via the WEF, is a “cooperative” takeover of businesses. But once the New World Order is fully established, those who think that they will remain in control of their businesses will find out that another, perhaps a DEI candidate, will be in charge. NWO party commissars will be in charge to teach party principles and party loyalty.

The Global Order religion will use everything in their stakeholder power to force a New World Order in our “hyper partisan, hyper polarized time”.

The Global Order religion is not a new way of thinking about and managing mankind and civilization. “Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains” is the opening sentence of Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s (1712–1778) essay The Social Contract.

Rousseau, like many since, assumed that man by nature is a free and innocent being. Man, he insisted, was born with the potential for goodness but civilization, with its envy, self-consciousness, and competition has made men bad. 

Fellow philosopher Voltaire charged Rousseau with primitivism, accusing him of wanting to make people go back and walk on all fours. One will find similar noble savage myths in the environmental movement’s talk of the Axial Age and the Dark Green religion (see Iain Proven’s Convenient Myths: The Axial Age, Dark Green Religion, and the World That Never Was)

When institutions are fixed, Rousseau believed, mankind will respond in positive social ways.

Today we hear of “systemic racism” and the need for “change we can believe in”,  “fundamental transformation” and a “Great Reset”. As more and more American institutions become aligned with the globalist collective, it will be out with the old and in with the new Global Order religion.

And with each transition we see the perverse irony in the WEF’s “rules-based order” and the consensus implied in The Social Contract of Rousseau:  man who is “born free”, is to take on the “chains” imposed by the institutions of the globalist collective for a better “future”. With each transition we see that globalist utopia means global dystopia.

For the Christian, the materialist view of the world is way too small and incomplete. Christians view the world through a much broader lens. The wide-angle lens includes both the physical world and, by the operation of faith, “the things that can’t be seen. After all, the things you can see are here today and gone tomorrow; but the things you can’t see are everlasting.”  (2 Cor. 4:18).

It is a down-to-earth view that includes man, not as an innocent being, but man as corrupted by sinful choices and yet redeemable because of Christ. It is a view that sees that the whole of creation is groaning as it waits for redemption. It is a elevated view that sees the Kingdom of God and the restoration of the cosmic order.

The Christian views the material world relation to the transcendent. For one example, read the poem God’s Grandeur by Gerard Manley Hopkins.

Faith, as described in Hebrews 1: 1-3, is the means to bolster our confidence about things we can’t see or see as puzzling reflections in glass (1 Cor. 13: 12). Faith is the means to see past, present and future in the hands of the One who is the same yesterday, today and forever.

With confidence bolstered we can move out from a dark cave-dwelling existence of disturbing shadows – the Shadowlands – and look ahead into the broad daylight and Reality. We faith it out as did Abraham:

“Off he went, not knowing where is going.” . . .  “He was looking ahead, you see, “to the city which has its foundations, the city of which God is the designer and builder”. (Heb. 11:8, 10).

Did Abraham really imagine a city such as that? We don’t know. We do know that tent-dweller Abraham who lived under a starry canopy had been promised descendants as many as the stars . . .. “the designer and builder” of all that is above would make sure of it.

Challenges? Stakeholders? Resolutions?

Christians deal with challenges not by making others do want we want as the WEF is proposing. We face challenges head on by faith. Read Hebrews 11. There, we read of people whose faith transcended the threat of pain and death by political mercenaries.

Christians are stakeholders in both the seen and unseen. We seek resolutions to a disordered cosmos. And so, we pray, we faith, we work. We pray, we faith, we work.  We pray, we faith, and we work every day.

Who holds the future? Not those called to “master the future” by the World Economic Forum. Masters of faith know Who holds the future and act accordingly.

Why were you and I born in this space and time? It was to know the grace and love of God in our times and to hold the world, the flesh and devil in check.

“God leads us step by step, from event to event. Only afterward, as we look back over the way we have come and reconsider certain important moments in our lives in the light of all that has followed them, or when we survey the whole progress of our lives, do we experience the feeling of having been led without knowing it, the feeling that God has mysteriously guided us.” -Paul Tournier

And this is one of the most crucial definitions for the whole of Christianity; that the opposite of sin is not virtue but faith. – Søren Kierkegaard

*****

The imagination plays an important part in faith. It should be no surprise to a Christian that the media militates against imagination leading to faith. The media images and sounds are from a world moving in the direction of the NWO. The media constantly lies, telling us to deny what know to be true. The media is paid to do so.

Protestants have banished images from their religious practice. And yet they fill their lives with media images. Huh. How can faith take hold without a holy imagination?

More on this in another post.

Indiana’s Todd Young voted for respect for Marriage Act

“gays just want to get married” – Isn’t that what many conservatives have no problem with.

Todd Young, Indiana’s senator, you replied to my message speaking against the “Respect for Marriage” Act saying that you voted for the Act to give married gays “dignity’. I replied that you don’t know the LGBTQ community. Gays discharge dignity to live their lifestyle. You virtue signaling fool!

According to a copy of the 17-count indictment Townhall has obtained, the adoptive dads allegedly performed oral sex on both boys, forced the children to perform oral sex on them, and anally raped their sons. . . .

William admitted to forcing his 11-year-old adopted son to perform an act of sodomy, a.k.a. “oral copulation,” on him “with the intent to satisfy his own…sexual desire,” reads a sworn affidavit filed in support of William’s overnight arrest back on July 27. . . .

An updated criminal affidavit says the child sexual abuse was filmed by William’s husband Zachary, “with whom he routinely engaged in sexually abusive acts” on the boy. Zachary, the household’s breadwinner, confessed to being the cameraman, and authorities allegedly found a folder on his cell phone—labeled “US”—that contained videos of William sexually abusing the child.

When Communism Wins, You Lose

“Ungodliness with discontentment is great gain” -a statement that seems to define the attitude and religious practice of the Left. Both mindset and praxis find their motivation in the communist confession of faith.

Ungodliness? “. . . communism is that stage of historical development which makes all existing religions superfluous and supersedes them.” We’ve seen the Left solemnize sex and sodomize the sacred.

Discontentment? “. . . we also see that the development of the proletariat in almost all countries of the world is forcibly repressed by the possessing classes and that thus a revolution is being forcibly worked for by the opponents of communism. If, in the end, the oppressed proletariat is thus driven into a revolution, then we will defend the cause of the proletariat just as well by our deeds as now by our words.” One can find the revolting “oppressed proletariat” on social media. There, you’ll find them whining, complaining, pillarizing, and plundering all day long.

By fomenting a what’s-yours-is-mine discontent with the possessing classes and picking winners and losers, communists “… work to replace the existing social order by community of Property”. 

The most recent example involves divvying up the spoils of taxation: Biden Announces Student Loan Relief for Borrowers Who Need It Most. The communist regime signaled to 43 million borrowers that they should be discontented with their chosen plight – student loan debt. Therefore, taxpayer money (Community of property) is to be doled out to the “winners”, communist converts and votes being secured in the process.

The forced redistribution of private property is essential to the revolution of communism. Taxation makes it readily possible. As taxpayers, we are now being forced to pay for a bill we didn’t owe. And that makes Americans losers now and in the future.

Consider that the Biden regime is sending more taxpayer money to the corrupt nation of Ukraine- $3 Billion This while many veterans live on the streets. Biden is on par with Putin with his blatant disregard for the overall welfare of citizens of his own country.

Americans are burdened with direct taxation and with the indirect taxation of inflation created by government spending (not by Putin). It is tax-payers Who Need It (relief) Most. :‘A Tsunami of Shutoffs’: 20 Million U.S. Homes are Behind in Energy Bills

Picking winners and losers. During the COVID plandemic as it worked to replace the existing social order through social engineering, the media made it a point to show that winners wear masks, socially distance, get the jab and basically do what they are told. Losers were the unwashed unvaxxed masses who did not follow “the science”. The media presented Joe Biden saying “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

Don’t forget. It was the communist Biden regime that directed OSHA to force the vaccine mandate on the public, as if we were community of Property under state control.

Picking winners and losers. During the 2020 presidential election, the state media and those who stole the election (“defenders of democracy”) decided that communism was to be favored over forms of Christian nationalism.

What is the aim of the Communists?

Answer: To organise society in such a way that every member of it can develop and use all his capabilities and powers in complete freedom and without thereby infringing the basic conditions of this society.

 How do you wish to achieve this aim?

Answer: By the elimination of private property and its replacement by community of property.

Dividing people into winners and losers – the oppressed groups and the “privileged” oppressor groups – for the purpose of abolishing differences between estates and classes through the abolition of private property is the stated mission of the church of Marx. Community of Property will somehow set all of us free to be all that we can be – under the state’s control of course.

Preaching discontent of one’s situation and with others is essential to the ministry of the church of Marx (CRT is just one example.). Without discontent there is no communist religion. And without murdering millions of people in the name of that religion there is no great gain – for the ungodly Marxists.

You will want to hear Mark’s insight regarding nuclear energy.

Mark works tirelessly to prevent early closures of nuclear plants around the world and has attended the UN climate conference in Glasgow as a delegate from the American Nuclear Society. His efforts span the globe, working to save nuclear plants from Germany to California. 

Mark holds an MPhil in Nuclear Engineering from Cambridge University and degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Russian Language and Literature from Oklahoma State University.

In this episode, Mark and Aaron discuss the differences between France & Germany, the complexity of the US electric grid, and reasons for hope.
