We’re in the Zone

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super-states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace. This is Mr. Romney Wordsworth, in his last forty-eight hours on Earth. He’s a citizen of the State but will soon have to be eliminated, because he’s built out of flesh and because he has a mind. Mr. Romney Wordsworth, who will draw his last breaths in The Twilight Zone.

Why were you and I born in these times? Was it so we could surrender our wills, our human agency, our property and our lives to the lies of the totalitarian state? To the lie of a “Climate crisis” sequel to “climate change” sequel to Henny Penny? To the lie of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” sequel to racist Affirmative Action? To the lie of “Stakeholder Capitalism” and “ESG” sequels to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and its endless mistrust of capitalism in the hands of simple (non-elite) humans? To the lie of  the Davos vision of “The Great Narrative” sequel to “The Great Reset” sequel to atheistic and murderous regimes such as the world’s first Marxist state the U.S.S. R., Marxist–Leninist and Khmer ethnonationalist Pol Pot’s Cambodia, and the Cultural Revolution of Mao’s China?

Were you and I born in these times to subject ourselves to constant revolution, upheaval, paranoia, mass hysteria, chaos, show trials, and purges – to allow the State to have its way with us with its lies?

In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Lies have become the pillars of our current State. The State’s lies require corrupt power structures to keep them in place. The State’s lies require double standards of justice. The State’s lies require manipulation of data. The State’s lies require violence. The State’s lies require more and more sleight of hand. The State’s lies require daily self-deception.

We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Truth requires nothing of this world to support it. Truth stands alone. Truth is not a thing of this world. Truth is power from a different world. Jesus made this clear to Pontious Pilate, the power of this world, before being sentenced to crucifixion, the State’s method to keep lies and systems of power alive.

Romney Wordsworth did the same. He spoke truth to power in The Obsolete Man. He was content to die holding on to the truth he gave witness to during his life.

I will do the same as a follower of the Way, the Truth and the Life.

You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Silence of the Masses

As learned in my previous post Fear and Loathing in Ward No 6, the self-contented interior life of Dr. Andrei Yefimich Ragin allowed him to reason away interaction with suffering and to maintain a nihilist point of view. From that post:

“The doctor extrapolates from his daily routine and reasons ‘why interfere with people dying if death is the normal and prescribed end for everyone?’ and ‘If the aim of medicine is to utilize drugs to alleviate suffering, the question necessarily arises: why alleviate it?’ With similar thoughts, he reasons away the need for himself to be involved in the lives of suffering people. Why should anyone be spared pain when ‘their lives have nothing of importance in them and would be entirely empty, like the life of an amoeba, were it not for suffering’?

Like Dr. Rabin, globalists and the Progressive Left can intellectualize away the suffering they levy on others with a self-contented interior life that keeps them detached. A thought life of neo-Marxism and the “The Science” allows them to abstract their neighbors into otherness, into exclusion, and into prejudices that speak of “oppressors” “racists”, “science deniers”, and “extremists”.

With humans put at an ideological distance away from personal concern and responsibility, it is then easy for globalists and the Progressive Left to propose sweeping reforms to fix the world. Among the most prominent “fixes” are “fundamental transformation” and The Great Narrative (formerly, The Great Reset).

With humans put at an ideological distance away from personal concern and responsibility, it is then easy to for them to say like Dr. Rabin ‘Why should anyone be spared pain when ‘their lives have nothing of importance in them and would be entirely empty, like the life of an amoeba, were it not for suffering’?

One example where we see the globalist’s dispassionate view of humans is their passionate pet project “climate change”. The climate change theory puts mankind directly in the crosshairs of “The Science”. So, the theory justifies individual suffering to mitigate climate change.

Finally admitting to the realization that intermittent wind and solar cannot hope to be feasible alternatives to natural gas, nuclear and coal continuous baseload generation, the climate schemers want us to lower our expectations going forward. Instead of them revising their “green energy” theory and plans we are told to accept a downgraded quality of life. “Would an Occasional Blackout Help Solve Climate Change?” is their answer.

Globalists and the Progressive Left insulate themselves from human suffering with a fanaticism for their problem-solving ideas. No need to lift a finger for that man lying by the side of the highway. The ideology we are proposing will take care of that.

For the Davos WEF crowd, you and I are the flyover country they jet over to powwow in the Swiss alps where they talk about how to alleviate climate change and how to make a fair and just world by curtailing access to capital and property ownership and wood-fired pizza and air conditioning and gas stove cooking and combustion engines and travel beyond a fifteen minutes and freedom and all those human things that get in the way of their plans for a better world.

 (Note: Despite the lofty rhetoric, there is no fear of God before Globalist eyes. And there is no mention of humanity’s corporate imago dei given so that man would continue to generate the good form and function of Creation over the earth. Globalists, nihilists all, find meaning in “let us make a name for ourselves. They have no Lord or master they report to.”

Put in no nonsense terms: Christians, more than any other group, give materially, physically, and yes, spiritually, to meet the needs of humans. Globalists and Progressive Democrats have ideological and political programs – “Let’s throw money at that” “Let’s call people racist and white supremist” “Let’s divide people into classes and make them at war with each other.”)

What I am trying to convey is that there is a way of thinking that reasons that suffering and death are going to happen anyway so why not let both happen as a means to a sociopolitical end.

Since March of 2020 and the pandemic that Anthony Fauci (“The science”), Francis Collins (NIH) and others made possible by illegally operating a bioweapons program in a Wuhan China lab, I’ve posted many times about what elitists/globalists have been up to. You won’t find these things mentioned in the legacy media. Like WH press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, legacy media is paid to obfuscate, deflect, create absurd narratives and pronounce “conspiracy theory” when things get too real. So, again, let’s now take a look at one of globalist’s anti-human projects you won’t hear about on TV.

Globalist elitists were up to population control in the 60’s. We see their proposed measures (below) at work in our society today.

The 1969 Jaffe Memo, allegedly written by eugenicist and Planned Parenthood Vice President Frederick Jaffe, listed various strategies needed for achieving population control. Among the Proposed Measures to Reduce U.S. Fertility: alter the ideal family, increase homosexuality, encourage women to work, increased taxes, compulsory abortions, and payments to encourage sterilizations and abortions.

No BS. Below, a link to a deep dive into the “US Federal Government global population control/depopulation agenda, as well as the similarities to various activities known to have been performed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, World Health Organization, United Nations and other non-governmental (and governmental) organizations.”

“. . . the top 10 methods “they” are using to reduce human population down to a “manageable” amount, at which point those remaining (apparently including the heirs to the fortunes of those driving this bus) will all live in a “utopian society”.

Population Control and Official USG Policy (substack.com)

There are multiple ways to reduce population beyond what is shown on the 1969 Reduce U.S. Fertility chart:

-the promotion of transgenderism, another form of sterilization,

-child trafficking, a means to destroy the body and the mind,

– open the southern border allowing in tuberculosis,

-open the southern border allowing in fentanyl, criminals, and terrorists to have their way with us,

-euthanasia,

-sending cluster bombs to Ukraine,

-cashless bail in Democrat cities allowing criminals to go and kill again,

-premeditated acts of terrorism such as COVID-19,

-create mRNA vaccines that have debilitating effects on fertility and deadly results,

-keep low-cost repurposed drugs, that are highly effective, from being used, e.g., Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin

-biological and chemical warfare perpetrated on the human race,

-creating fear porn about a climate catastrophe so that couples won’t consider having children.

Among the many other de-populating-the world projects, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is working to discourage private ownership of homes – “You’ll own nothing and be happy” ~ Whatever you do, don’t pass anything (home, farm, business) on to your children and keep the fertility cycle going. Besides, you’ll be a nomad eating bugs and won’t have time to have children.

Jane Goodall

What do the elitists fear with increased population? Widespread hunger?

The massive amount of money going to Ukraine could be used instead to fund hunger relief projects across the globe. The Fauci grant money funding bioweapons research could be used to produce arable farming land. The billions in advertisement money going to cable news shows that lie to us could be redirected to feeding orphans and supporting inner city families.

What do the elitists fear with increased population? An increase in undesirable races and peoples?

“Arguing whether we have under or overpopulation is unhelpful and distracting when, in reality, there is very little we can do to influence population growth. Worse, these arguments often have racist, eugenicist undertones. Overpopulation arguments frequently originate in the global north and aim at reducing fertility in the global south (developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America), where the majority of the world’s black, brown, indigenous and multi-heritage people live.”

8 billion people: why trying to control the population is often futile – and harmful (theconversation.com)

What do the elitists fear with increased population? Human activity driving a climate crisis? Too many carbon footprints?

“As this short history of failed predictions reveals, prominent environmentalists have been using fears of famine and ecological disaster to promote a population-control agenda for many years. Recent claims that man-made global warming might be yet another disaster to be laid at the feet of population growth are no more credible.

“The Armageddon scenarios put forward by climate change alarmists are greatly exaggerated. Even if global population growth had not slowed, the human impact on climate has simply been too small to reliably measure against background variation. Further, the net impact of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is expected to be a positive for at least the next century. The benefits of modest warming – on crops, heating expenses, human health, and more – exceed the costs by a wide margin.”

Fear and Loathing in Ward No 6

“In the hospital yard there stands a small lodge surrounded by a perfect forest of burdocks, nettles, and wild hemp. Its roof is rusty, the chimney is tumbling down, the steps at the front-door are rotting away and overgrown with grass, and there are only traces left of the stucco. The front of the lodge faces the hospital; at the back it looks out into the open country, from which it is separated by the grey hospital fence with nails on it. These nails, with their points upwards, and the fence, and the lodge itself, have that peculiar, desolate, God-forsaken look which is only found in our hospital and prison buildings.”

Ward No. 6., a story by Anton Chekov, opens with this description of an outpost hospital 150 miles from a train station. This provincial hospital with a lunatic asylum annex, worlds apart from “sane” society, is the setting for the reader to examine the disturbing dehumanization taking place in Russia and, perhaps, everywhere else.

Chekhov wrote the story with reformist concerns after he visited a far east penal colony of the Russian Empire – Sakhalin Island.[1] Chekhov’s aim was to survey the prisoners and publicize their conditions. His compiled notes became the book Sakhalin Island.

Chekov, as guide, invites us onto the premises of the provincial hospital and into its mental ward. He would have us understand suffering in the presence of it and not in the abstract. So, he has us listen in on conversations between Dr. Andrei Yefimich Ragin, who is in charge of the hospital and asylum, and inmate Ivan Dmitrich Gromov.

With a phrase similar to Dante’s opening of the Divine Comedy – “abandon all hope, ye who enter here” – Chekhov forewarns us about our entry into Ward No. 6: “If you are not afraid of being stung by nettles, let us go along the narrow path.”

As we follow our tour guide, he shows us the hospital’s neglected and unsanitary conditions and then introduces us to the brutish Nikita, who I consider one of the “nettles”.

“The porter, Nikita, an old soldier wearing rusty good-conduct stripes, is always lying on the litter with a pipe between his teeth. He has a grim, surly, battered-looking face, overhanging eyebrows which give him the expression of a sheep-dog of the steppes, and a red nose; he is short and looks thin and scraggy, but he is of imposing deportment and his fists are vigorous. He belongs to the class of simple-hearted, practical, and dull-witted people, prompt in carrying out orders, who like discipline better than anything in the world, and so are convinced that it is their duty to beat people. He showers blows on the face, on the chest, on the back, on whatever comes first, and is convinced that there would be no order in the place if he did not.”

After walking past the cluttered pitiful state of the entry-way conditions and the fearful porter, we enter the annex.

Here, the “walls are painted dirty blue, the ceiling is as sooty as in a hut without out a chimney . . .The wooden floor is gray and full of splinters.  There is a stench of sour cabbage, smoldering wicks, bugs, and ammonia, and for the first minute this stench gives you the impression of having walked into a menagerie.

“The beds in the room are bolted to the floor. Sitting and lying on them are men in blue hospital dressing gowns, wearing nightcaps in the old style. These are the lunatics.

There are five of them in all.”

Chekhov describes the inmates and then begins to focus on the two protagonists, inmate Ivan Dmitrich Gromov and doctor Andrei Yefimich Ragin. We learn about both from their dialog. As we listen in, we soon begin to wonder who the patient is and who is the doctor.

Early in life Ivan Dmitrich Gromov was severely flogged by his father. His mental state became more unstable with personal misfortunes. Later in life he sees convicts being led away by armed guards. This was not an uncommon sight for Gromov to witness. But this time he reacts with pity and unease and transference. He begins to conceptualize that like the convicts, it is also his lot in life to be clamped in chains and punished for some crime. This inordinate thinking, a persecution complex that becomes a paralyzing fear of some random moment someone will come down on him for something, lands Gromov in Ward No. 6. He tells Dr. Ragin that he has “persecution mania.”

Though he’s an inmate because he’s out of touch with reality, Gromov is very much in touch with the mental anguish caused by his fixation and the physical pain delivered by the blows of Nikita. Ward No. 6 reinforces Gromov’s cycle of fear and pity.

Dr. Andrei Yefimich Ragin, on the other hand, is not in touch with the human condition. Passive and cynical, he is unable to bring reforms to the hospital.

In conversations with Gromov, Ragin justifies his indifference to others’ plight by suggesting that everything is subject to chance. For instance, he posits that there is no difference between wearing a doctor’s smock and an inmate’s smock.

To further justify his coolness to the human condition he references Ecclesiastes – “it is all futile, senseless” – and quotes Marcus Aurelius: “Pain is just the idea of pain: make an effort of will to change that idea, reject it, cease to complain, and the pain will disappear.” The inner self should dictate one’s experience according to Ragin.[2]

The doctor’s inner self has him ignoring the unsanitary and detrimental conditions of Ward No. 6 and the plight of his patients. Dr. Ragin “knows such surroundings are torture to feverish, consumptive, and impressionable patients, but what can be done?” His stoic outlook of mind over matter is, in practice, one of heartless neglect toward others.

He increases suffering, instead of relieving it, by remaining aloof and disconnected from it. He has intellectualized reality to justify his inaction and seeks further intellectualization to relieve him of his post’s boredom and purposelessness.

Adding to the doctor’s disinterest is what our guide tells us: “probably in no other place is life so monotonous as in this annex.” As one day is no different than another in this outpost hospital, Dr. Ragin becomes disenchanted with his doctor routine.

When he first came to the hospital, Dr. Ragin “worked very diligently. He saw patients every morning till dinnertime, performed operations, and even practiced obstetrics. . ..  But in the course of time the work unmistakably wearied him by its monotony and obvious uselessness.”

The doctor extrapolates from his daily routine and reasons “why interfere with people dying if death is the normal and prescribed end for everyone?” and “If the aim of medicine is to utilize drugs to alleviate suffering, the question necessarily arises: why alleviate it?” With similar thoughts, he reasons away the need for himself to be involved in the lives of suffering people. Why should anyone be spared pain when “their lives have nothing of importance in them and would be entirely empty, like the life of an amoeba, were it not for suffering?

“Oppressed by such reflections, Andrey Yefimich let things go and gave up going to the hospital every day.”

To avoid the messy, tedious, and nonsensical reality around him, Dr. Ragin leaves work early and goes home to his books and beer. He withdraws from the physical world to seek mental stimulation. As he reads he is wowed by recent medical discoveries and yet makes not one application to his own hospital. He blames society for the mess he has to deal with.

Evenings consist of conversations with his postmaster friend Mikhail, the only one in town who doesn’t bore the doctor. (Is Ragin more Epicurean in practice than Stoic?)

This routine changes when one day Dr. Ragin follows an inmate, the Jew Moiseika, returning to the annex from his daily wandering in the town. The doctor notices that Moiseika is walking around with bare feet in the winter. Inside, he tells Nikita to give Moiseika some boots for the cold weather. Dr. Ragin, we learn, is not unaware of what’s around him.

From his bed Gromov hears the doctor’s voice, jumps up and reacts with loud vitriol at his presence. The doctor goes in to see who is making the fuss about him. After Gromov calms down, the two begin a dialog that Dr. Ragin finds pleasurable: “What an agreeable young man!” The doctor, breaking with routine, visits Gromov again the next day.

The doctor encounters Gromov lying in bed holding his head in terrible pain. Gromov is suffering with a splitting headache. He reasoned over and over again since the day before that Dr. Ragin was a “spy or doctor who has been charged to test me – it’s all the same -.” Gromov’s persecution mania was triggered.

Dr. Ragin responds, reasoning that if true and Gromov is arrested and sent to prison then he is no worse off being right where he is. This response frees Gromov up a bit and the two have a bit of relaxed conversation. Gromov wishes to be in a better place – outside in “the country somewhere” and “to have a decent doctor to cure one’s headache.”

“It’s so long since I have lived like a human being. It’s vile here. Insufferably vile!”

The doctor responds, not with an antidote for Ivan’s headache, not with a ride in the country, but with a philosophical take on how to think about things – with simple equivalency.

“There’s no difference between a warm and comfortable study and this ward” and “Peace and contentment do not lie outside a man, but within him.”

Gromov questions this. The doctor continues.

“The ordinary man expects the good and the bad from external things – from an open carriage and a study – but a thinking man derives them from within himself.”

Gromov rejects the doctor’s philosophical reasoning. The doctor responds, telling Gromov that “One must strive for the comprehension of life, and therein lies true happiness.”

Gromov understands nothing of what the doctor has been saying and inferring: Comprehension? External, internal? Life is just a mental exercise, a thought experiment, detached from the tragic dimension of human existence? Gromov gets up, looks angrily at the doctor and speaks:

“I only know that God has created me of warm blood and nerves, yes, indeed! If organic tissue is capable of life it must react to every irritant. And I do react! I respond to pain with tears and outcries, to baseness with indignation, to filth with loathing. To my mind, that is precisely what is called life.  . . . How is it that you don’t know that?”

Gromov continues, commenting perceptively about the Stoics. He then asks why Dr. Ragin why he preaches Stoicism. “Are you a sage? A philosopher?” The doctor responds “No …. but everyone ought to preach it because it is reasonable.”

Gromov, the inmate, then wants to know how the doctor considers himself to be “competent to judge comprehension and contempt for suffering”.

“Have you ever suffered? Have you any idea of what suffering is? Allow me to ask you, were you ever thrashed as a child?”

“No, responds the doctor, “my parents had an aversion to corporal punishment?”

Gromov tells the doctor that his own father, “a harsh, hemorrhoidal government clerk with along nose and a yellow neck” flogged him cruelly. Sizing the doctor up, Gromov then proceeds with his analysis of the doctor, excoriating his competency to understand anything about Gromov’s life or life itself.

“No one has laid a finger on you all your life, no one has terrorized you nor beaten you; you are as strong as an ox. . .. You are by nature a lazy, flaccid man, and so you have tried to arrange your life in such a way that nothing should disturb you or force you to budge.”

I’ll stop here and leave you with Gromov’s cri de coeur and Dr. Ragin’s inability to come to terms with suffering. Even when the doctor does act to relieve suffering, he thinks that he will be paid back for his trouble. He lends his postmaster friend money after his friend suffers gambling loses. But the doctor is never repaid and soon becomes destitute. It appears from all that happens to the doctor as the story unfolds, that the doctor’s friends and associates also hold to “It’s all the same” thinking.

This story is rich with insight and worth a read. And though one may not be interested in reading a story in a Russian setting, consider that cultures change but human nature doesn’t change much from place to place or age to age.

“It’s all the same!”, first spoken by Gromov when he encounters Dr. Ragin (“a spy or a doctor”) is oft repeated and inferred by Dr. Ragin as he explains his philosophy to Gromov. You’ll have to read the story to see how the doctor’s “It’s all the same” philosophy works out. He holds on to it to the end of the story.

““Ward Six” is affective and effective largely because Chekhov makes proper, judicious, and artistic use of the very faculty that is impaired in his two heroes, Gromov and Ragin, the faculty for contemplating similarities. Their respective disorders, which are two extremes of the same continuum, prevent them from experiencing fear and pity in a healthy, moderate, cathartic fashion.”[3]

As you read Ward No. 6, ask yourself these questions:

Is “society” at fault and therefore responsible for the ills and disorder of society or are individuals responsible?

If one assigns “society” as the cause for “systemic” failures, is the individual therefore absolved of any personal responsibility?

Is detachment from reality a sign of mental illness?

Do you spend your time in the laboratory of thought and have never played baseball or wrestled with another human being?

Does lying to oneself promote mental health?

Is it healthy to be being disconnected from physical reality via drugs or the TV and the internet – supposed mental stimulants that will lessen our boredom?

“It’s all the same!”:  Is that a motto for your life? How has that worked out for you?

If we say chance or fate determines things, do we give up believing we can make a difference?

Do false equivalencies, such as occur in Ward No. 6 and that also operate in our culture, lead to mental illness?

A momentary transposition of one’s reality into another through imagination is healthy.  Day dreaming is healthy. But what about the permeant transpositions into unreality that is occurring around us today?

Have you ever asked God to heal your imagination?

(As mentioned before, Chekhov is my favorite writer. His stories (and plays) show rather than tell. Chekhov doesn’t moralize or preach.

Dr. Ragin – “superfluous man”

“The name ‘superfluous man’ refers to an important and recurrent character type in 19th c. Russian literature. It denotes an idealistic but inactive hero who is aware of and sensitive to moral and social problems but who does not take action; in part because of personal weakness and lassitude, in part because of social and political restraints to freedom of action.”

A short note on the term ‘superfluous man’ and its examples – Literary Ocean

– “usually an aristocrat, intelligent, well-educated, and informed by idealism and goodwill but incapable, for reasons as complex as Hamlet’s, of engaging in effective action. Although he is aware of the stupidity and injustice surrounding him, he remains a bystander.”

Is This Our Last Independence Day?

“One, if by land, and two, if by sea”, and three, if by One Health.

Who can forget COVID tyranny? Who can forget the constant fear porn driving people to disarm themselves of critical thinking to allow entry of the COVID narrative into their lives?

Who can forget that our churches, our businesses, our relationships, and our lives were masked and quarantined for a flu with a 99% recovery rate? Who can forget the horrific mandates imposed upon us? Who can forget the threats made to induce vaccine submission? Who can forget the severe adverse events that have occurred and will continue to occur from the untested mRNA vaccine?

Who can forget that the CDC banned the use of effective repurposed drugs – Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine – so that an “emergency use authorization” could make it possible to flood the country with the untested mRNA vaccine? Lives were lost because of this ban.

And, who can forget that before the COVID plandemic the country was rapidly bouncing back from Obama’s anti-America years?

As I write this, a worldwide totalitarian medical police state is being formed that will make the COVID plandemic’s years of oppression look like a maskless walk in the park. I’ve posted warnings about what’s coming – digital ID’s and digital currency – at least twice before. What is coming is hundreds of times more oppressive than what happened during the COVID plandemic. (They are planning to release another pandemic soon – as a test of our response and the overlords authority.)

Tell me. Have you heard about any of this in the main stream media? Have you heard anyone in the media talk about what the CCP-backed World “Health” Organization (WHO) is up to? Have you heard anyone mention digital passports and digital currency? Have you heard about One Health, a global biotech surveillance state, complete with surveillance and censorship of virtually every aspect of life on earth?

Have you heard about any of this from your rep or senators? No? Why not? Is this off their radar? Could our rep or senators be all in on global governance? Could the Uniparty, aka the Swamp, which is made up of both Dems and Republicans, be all in on the subjugation of the U.S. to global governance? Could it be: “It’s a BIG club and you ain’t in it!”

Nothing in this post is conspiracy theory. What is taking place is mostly out in the open. You can read what they doing on websites. For example, One health (who.int):

“By linking humans, animals and the environment, One Health can help to address the full spectrum of disease control – from prevention to detection, preparedness, response and management – and contribute to global health security.”

This is at least my third alarm about what is coming to our shores to destroy life as we know it. Globalist overlords are intent on redistributing money, resources, and control to themselves. They use highfalutin sales rhetoric from “ESG” to “stakeholder capitalism” to “conscientious capitalism.” But all the gibberish, for those of us not in the globalist “club”, leads to “You’ll own nothing and be happy.”

Globalist overlords are intent on using every world crisis they create (pandemics and Climate Change) to “reset” the lives of people to their own vagary. They act to crush our wills and claim our children. They tell us what to think and do from sun up to sundown, everything from “Cut carbon” to “No stone-fired pizza” to “Eat bugs” to “You’ll own nothing and be happy.” And yet most Americans love their trucks, their home, and eating real meat. Most Americans have faith in God, but the intelligentsia, aka politically connected radical socialist atheists, want nothing to do with God in any form or fashion including “In God We Trust” America.

The destruction of our lives and all we hold dear is their creative inclination. The suits acting to “reset” our lives act in line with what Mikhail Bakunin, revolutionary socialist, social anarchist, and collectivist anarchist once said:

“The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.”

And they will creatively destroy quietly. Consider that with digital technology, no one has to be sent to a gulag or shot for not going the way of the tyrants. None of that KGB stuff needs to happen as was done in the past. Except for some public figures, there will be none of that public messy stuff that would make globalists look like Stalinists. Digital technology will do all the dirty work. Your digital device will be a KGB agent looking in on you.

Digital governance will decide if one eats, travels and leaves their home. So, when people are deprived of liberty, of choice, of movement and of hope, they will go mad. They can then be institutionalized if they don’t commit suicide first. Like Pontius Pilate, globalists can then wash their hands of the matter.

If you still doubt the extremes to which a global biotech surveillance state will deal with you, then recall the authoritarian-directed days of COVID. And look now at the two-tier system of justice under the Biden regime’s DOJ and Merrick Garland. And look at how J6 political prisoners are being treated. Each example brought together is but a small preview of what digital global governance will become.

With the extra time you have this Fourth of July weekend, I urge you to view the videos posted here. Then take action. There may not be another election.

I urge priests, pastors and leaders of the church to warn people of what’s coming and to help parishioners put a stop to it. I have no doubt that the godless globalists will restrict all Christian activity by calling it a global health “concern” (see communist China, the globalist’s role model for suppression of religion). Send a link to this post to church leaders.

Will you resist tyranny, or will this be the last Independence Day? Will you act to defend our injured, bleeding Country and insure its independence?

Present But Not Accounted For

The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus– who did the evangelists turn to for their record of these events? They relied on the testimony of several women – supporters and disciples – who had been with Jesus from the earliest days of his Galilean ministry and followed him to Jerusalem. The women were authoritative apostolic witnesses of these events in the early Christian community. Their telling and retelling of these events shaped the Gospel tradition.

The four gospel accounts variously record the women’s eyewitness testimony of the exceptional events in spite of what is alleged about a first century woman’s testimony not considered credible in a court run by men.

The gospel writers, as did other ancient historiographers, set great store in the role of eyewitnesses.[1] First-hand accounts of what was seen and heard and its interpretation were the most reliable. As a matter of record and for a connection to the sources, the identities of the women who witnessed the events of the Passion and resurrection are clearly identified by the gospel writers (see Women as Eyewitnesses below). The women were present and accounted for in the gospels.

The-Three-Marys-Henry Ossawa Tanner

Across the four gospel accounts, two or three women are noted to be at the cross, at the burial and at the empty tomb. This would fulfill Torah’s requirement (Deut. 19:15) for two or three witnesses for evidence to be substantiated.

We can be thankful that the women’s eyewitness testimonies, even if rejected by a first century court of men, provides for us today the historical reality of the extraordinary events. Those who have not seen the risen Lord are dependent on those who have such as Mary Magdalene, an apostle to the apostles, who said “I have seen the Lord!”

The women’s testimony, even if rejected by men, certainly didn’t preclude women in the community from accepting it. The women’s firsthand account of the events spread throughout the Christian community, where as many women as men, and likely more, were drawn to early Christianity. And where the role of the women as benefactors and disciples of Jesus was already well-known.[2] That a woman was commissioned by Jesus to be his “go and tell” witness – this was no surprise. The resurrection was the “Do you know what this means!” surprise.

For the women involved, it wasn’t a matter of passive observation. It involved active understanding, as Richard Bauckham, in Gospel Women: Studies of the Named Women in the Gospels writes [3]:

“It would be a mistake to envisage the women’s role of eyewitnesses as a passive one. As participants in events that radically changed their own lives, the women, in telling and retelling the stories of the events of the passion and resurrection, were also interpreting the significance of the events.”

It would also be a mistake to assume that what the women were relating had to reinterpreted and retold by men.

Again, Richard Bauckham[4] :

“I conclude that there is no evidence to suggest that the role of women in the resurrection stories has been depreciated or limited in the Gospel narratives of Matthew, Luke, and John. Where male prejudice against the credibility is explicitly evoked (Luke 24:11), this is so that it may be decisively overturned.

“Where readers may bring such prejudice to the texts, even though the texts give no pretext for doing so, again the effect of the narratives will be to refute and to reverse assumptions of male priority and female unreliability.

“. . . it suggests that within the Christian communities themselves the role of women as witnesses was highly respected. There seems to be no evidence that it became less so over time. It is one of a variety of striking aspects of early Christianity that belong to the countercultural nature of the Christian communities as societies in which God’s eschatological overturning of social privilege was taken very seriously.” (Emphasis mine.)

Present but not accounted for: women, apostolic traditioners and eyewitness guarantors of not only the Passion and resurrection events but also of the incarnation, are not included in the kerygmatic summaries of Peter and Paul.

(Kerygmatic summaries can be thought of as basically sermon outlines open to improvisation and amplification from gospel tradition influences.)

Kerygmatic summaries in sermons (Acts 2:14-36, 3:12-36, 10:34-43, 13:16-41) and in Paul’s resurrection discussion (1 Cor. 15) do not mention the role of women. That they are not mentioned doesn’t disavow the women’s roles as apostolic traditioners and eyewitness guarantors of the gospel tradition. The sermons are an overview of the gospel story meant for a crowd not aware of it.

(Did Peter and Paul have concerns about mentioning the role of women to a patriarchal assembly? Where they concerned that their message would be rejected by male listeners? It’s a real possibility.)

What may be seen as a snub, though, is not being accounted for in Paul’s resurrection appearance list (1 Cor. 15:3-7).

Here ‘s Richard Bauckham’s take on that [5]:

“. . . we should notice that the women are not in fact, as so often assumed, absent from 1 Corinthians 15:3-7. Paul distinguishes between an appearance to the twelve and one to all the apostles, since, unlike Luke, he does not confine the term “apostle” to the twelve. At this appearance, he would have assumed that other apostles he knew, such as Barnabas, Sylvanus, and James the Lord’s brother, were present along with the twelve. Now that it is generally recognized that Paul knew and had a great respect for at least one woman apostle, Junia (Rom 16:7), we must certainly also conclude that he would have taken for granted that women were included in an appearance to “all the apostles.”

(The apostle Paul calls Andronicus and Junia (Rom 16:7) “apostles”, likely meaning that they had been present at a resurrection appearance of Jesus. The name Junia was probably the Latin name of Jesus’s disciple Joanna (Luke 8:3; 24:10).) Andronicus (Junia’s husband Chuza?) and Junia (Joanna), Palestinian Jews, were likely members of the Jerusalem church before going to Rome.

Present today but not accounted for: Women as apostolic traditioners and eyewitness guarantors of the gospel traditions in today’s sermons AND women of the same caliber and devotion to the Lord in our pulpits.

We need more women traditioners, like those who followed and supported Jesus from the earliest days of his Galilean ministry and then followed him to Jerusalem and to the cross, the burial, and the empty tomb. We need more women traditioners like those who sat at Jesus’s feet and were discipled by him: “[Martha’s] sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught.” (Luke 10:39). But women today have been “roled” into submission with the weight of out of context scripture verses.

The apostle Paul, in 1 Timothy 2:14, alludes to women being deceived and about divine order needing to be observed. Does anyone think that the women supporters and disciples of Jesus were deceived and out of order? Does anyone think that women were deceived in the tomb garden as Eve had been deceived in Eden’s Garden? What I see in scripture is a reversal of status – from women easily deceived to women rightfully believed.

Paul wrote to Timothy alluding to the female only cult of Artemis (Diana) in Ephesus. The women of the cult had been deceived. The women of the cult subordinated men. Paul didn’t want that deception and disorder brought into the church community at Ephesus. Ephesus and the Diana cult were the context for “I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” (1 Tim. 2:12). Paul’s words to Timothy were of a parochial concern, intending to make Timothy be aware of what’s around him and how he could confront it.

Paul’s words to Timothy were not a universal injunction against women believing them to be unreliable in discerning what is true and good and thereby disqualified as an authoritative voice in the church. If Paul thought that, then the female apostolic traditioners and eyewitness guarantors of the birth, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus would also be suspect. That would fly in the face of reality.

Consider that throughout scripture we find that God used lowly salvation agents to bring about a reversal of status, not just for the agents e.g., Hannah and Mary, but also for Israel and the world. And, as mentioned, women – Mary and Elizabeth – were also apostolic traditioners and eyewitness guarantors of the incarnation. (Read Luke chapter 1 where events are related from a gynocentric perspective, rather than the typical androcentric perspective. Quite a pulpit!)

The narrative of women communicating the word of God is so clear in the New Testament. Women were present and accounted for in the Gospels, in the epistles and in extrabiblical sources. Today, women are being accounted for in a role, a designated role, a pre- “countercultural nature of the Christian communities as societies in which God’s eschatological overturning of social privilege was taken very seriously” role.

There are sermons and books on the roles for men and women. There are sermons and books about male-female hierarchy.

“We should leave no room for our daughters and granddaughters in the generations ahead to have confusion on where the SBC stands,” she said. “Let them know Scripture is our authority and not the culture.”’

The first century women were not feminists or liberals, though it would look that way to the legalists. They saw and reported what they had witnessed and learned. They were active in the “countercultural nature of the Christian communities as societies in which God’s eschatological nature overturning of social privilege was taken very seriously”.

Many think of Scripture and the church in androcentric terms. How could they not when they see men on a platform expounding, in male voices, what the scripture says. Have these interpreters rightly divided the word of God regarding men and women in the Kingdom of God? Have they wrongly divided men and women in the Kingdom of God into superficial roles?

I’ve read inferences and assumptions as to how things are to be: The Role of Women in the Church | Articles | Moody Church Media (moodymedia.org) and Dispensational Theology | Articles | Moody Church Media (moodymedia.org). The latter includes nonsense about a “rapture” occurring – a misinterpretation of scripture which leads one to doubt the former’s “Role of Women” interpretation.

And, I’ve read even-handed accounts:  Can Women be Pastors and Preachers? What the Bible Really Says (biblestudytools.com) and Complementarianism vs Egalitarianism – Do Christians Have Gender Roles Wrong? (crosswalk.com)

Remember Genesis 2? Adam (‘adam, a generic term meaning “human person”) was split in two and Eve was formed from one half of Adam. We read that this was done to form an equal partnership that would work to bring form and function to creation, a work God started and handed over to mankind. I find this partnership emphasis continued in the apostle Paul’s writing.

As I read Paul’s letters to the individual Christian communities, as I read his explanations and guidance of how to think and relate as new creations where they’re at, I hear his admonitions: “Get your act together! The world has its way of thinking! The world has its own form and function! But you are of different stock! Think and act like it! Work together for the sake of the gospel!”

The Spirit of God has been released into the world. The Spirit of God will go where it will. Did you really think that anyone could domesticate the Holy Spirit with theology and dispensationalism and policies of roles? Sure, those things tend to make one feel safe and secure, like you have a handle on things. But as we have seen with Jesus and now with the Holy Spirit, neither one “plays” by our rules.

Finally, note that Paul wrote to the Corinthian “brothers and sisters” that God gives His gifts as He determines (1 Cor. 12:1, 11). No further distinction is made regarding their allotment.

Women as Eyewitnesses

In the gospel narratives of the Passion, burial and resurrection of Jesus, there are five named eyewitnesses and two unnamed but specified eyewitnesses: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, Salome, Joanna, and Mary of Clopas, the mother of the sons of Zebedee, and the mother of Jesus. Each evangelist mentions the women significant to their readers.

These had active roles as eyewitnesses. You see, they were there in person at the cross, at the burial, and at the empty tomb, as we learn in Matthew’s gospel account:

“There were several women there [at the cross], watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee, helping to look after his needs. They included Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.” (Matt 27: 55-56).

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary [the mother of James and Joseph] had watched the burial of Jesus. They had been sitting opposite the tomb (Matt. 27:61). They returned on the first day of the week to look at the tomb. (Matt: 28:1). There, they encounter an earthquake and an angel. They receive divine revelation: “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” (Matt. 28: 5-6). The women then receive a command to proclaim (“Go and tell”) the Lord’s resurrection to the disciples (Matt. 28: 7). As they start running to herald the news, they are suddenly met by Jesus who says “Hello!” and “Don’t be afraid” and “Go and tell my brothers that they should go to Galilee. Tell them they’ll see me there.”

The gospel of John, chapter 20, records that Mary Magdalene, after seeing the stone rolled away from the Jesus’ tomb, runs off to tell Peter and John, the one closest to Jesus, that the body was missing. Peter and John run to the tomb and check it out. Mary Magdalene must have shown them the way because she – not them – had watched the burial.

Back at the empty tomb, Mary begins crying as she looks inside. She then sees two angels who ask her why she is crying. Mary then turns and sees a figure standing nearby. She thinks it’s the gardener. The figure asks why she is crying. She explains and then Jesus reveals himself to her. Jesus then tells her “Go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I’m going up to my father and your father – to my God and your God.”

Mary Magdalene, an apostle to the apostles, went and told the disciples, “I’ve seen the Lord!” and that he said these things to her. Later, when the disciples see the Lord, they corporately say what Mary said: “We’ve seen the Lord!” Seeing is followed by belief.

Jesus told the group “God’s blessings on people who don’t see, and yet believe!”

Notice in the following synoptic gospel texts how “women” and seeing verbs are emphasized.

Matthew 27:55-56

Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

Mark 15:40-41

 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome.  In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

Luke 23: 49

But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

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.”

Elite judges? You’ll know them by their god-complex:

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.

They have a superiority complex.

They Ignore the needs of others.

They are indifferent to how their actions affect others.

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.”

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?

The Great Awakening – Global Premiere & Livestream – June 3, 2023 – From The Creators Of Plandemic (rumble.com)

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.

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.”

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.

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).””

Panning Climate Change Central Planning:

BBC: Climate change too important to be left to personal choice – Mark E. Jeftovic is The Bombthrower

“Everyone will have to ratchet down their standard of living by over 75%”

Become a sovereign individual in whatever manner suits you: own gold, stack sats, have a Plan B, work for yourself, not somebody else and for God’s sake, turn off the TV and stop subjecting yourself to the corporate media. Connect with like-minded individuals and form both virtual and real communities and networks.

The defining tension of Late Stage Globalism will not be between “left” and “right” but between sovereign individuals and collectivists, decentralization vs centralization.

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.”
