It’s the beginning of September and the neighborhood is showing signs of Halloween. The season of dabbling in fear for fun is crouching at the door ready to have you. And, so are the days of government-sponsored terror. . . again.
Remember September of 2021? `The trickster in the White House backdoored the use of OSHA to ensure that all workers in companies with 100 or more employees were either fully vaccinated [with the unholy mRNA serum] or submitted to weekly testing and mandatory masking? Members of the military and hospital workers were forced to take the jab. No exemptions allowed. Never forget. Our government, spooks and all, hasn’t forgotten either.
It/They/Them created a reason for their dabbling-in-fear seasons: obsessing about personal health.
“September is National Preparedness [for martial law] Month, an observance “to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time.” In 2023, we are launching a series of discussion-based activities to help public health departmentsdevelop “whole community” plans [using martial law] that consider the impacts of social determinants of health on personal health preparedness and response.”
Tell me. If your only tool is public health admin, then is everything a potential health issue? It would seem so based on the almost unlimited scope of the CDC’s Social Determinants of Health.
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are “non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life” [where martial law could be employed]. (Emphasis mine.)
Note how overreaching and potentially meddlesome the CDC approach is to our lives. The wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life could be construed as anything including climate, guns, access to capital, what is taught in schools [CRT, LGBTQ+], how businesses are structured [DEI, ESG, tied to government, aka fascism], infrastructure [15-minute cities], religion, and much more.
The CDC, with its ties to the medical-pharmaceutical-biotech-climate industrial complex and the CIA, and with its influence on state and local government, has set itself up as pervasive authoritarian busybody/social engineers. We saw its domineering influence during season of the COVID plandemic. We will see it in this season’s government-sponsored terror.
Public health is nothing more than a mask for tyranny.
Now consider some of the track record of government agencies regarding the CDC’s Social Determinants of Health:
Mandates, locking down the economy, high energy costs, high food prices, inflation, high interest rates, and doubling the deficit with outrageous amounts of government spending – none of these government activities promoteEconomic stability. How does spending money we don’t have and giving billions of taxpayer dollars to UkrainepromoteEconomic stability? How does itmake for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Digital currency, not government spending reform, will be implemented as a means to bring about economic stability – by controlling our use of money.
Education access and quality has come down to what the Progressive teachers’ unions, the Marxist-lesbian president of the American Library Association, the deep state Dept. of Ed., and the corrupt DOJ want. And that comes down to wanting more taxpayer money, more CRT that fosters racism, hate, and segregation, more class warfare that fosters hate and division, more depravity with LGBTQ+ books and pornography, and more accusing parents at school board meeting of being domestic terrorists. And that has come down to less and less education for blacks and more and more of the blame game. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Health care access and quality has come down to dealing with less choice, hospital consolidation and mega-hospital systems all under CDC “guidance”. It has been shown to come down to CDC recommendations turned mandates by local authoritarians, COVID camps, and the mandating of vaccines – with a multitude of adverse effects – that no one should be taking. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Will you be allowed Health care access and quality if you do not have a vaccine passport? Will you be allowed into society if you do not have constant contract tracing?
Neighborhood and built environmenthave come down to defunding the police and the destruction of American cities by Democrats. No one feels safe on public transportation or walking the streets of these cities. People and businesses are leaving these cities. See Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and San Fransisco.
The open border will destroy cities. Just ask a mayor of a “Sanctuary City” like NYC Mayor Eric Adams. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Neighborhood and built environment have come down to the neglect of East Palatine, Ohio by incompetent Pete Buttigieg and the deadly incompetent government leaders of Maui. Why don’t know the number of children killed in the fires? How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Neighborhood and built environment have come down to forcing people to rent through high interest rates and WEF policies that say “You’ll own nothing and be happy”. Renters are put in a position of servitude to landlords who are in servitude to globalist governments who will decide how you live.
A neighborhood and built environment of renters will come down to unstable families, transitory communities, and insecurity involving terms and rent amounts. Maybe that’s why globalists so desire to make everyone a renter – to make everyone dependent on them. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Some hubristic moron at Axios writing that homeownership is “holding back the economy, hobbling the Federal Reserve, and exacerbating a national housing crisis” is akin to the mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson saying that carjacking is the fault of the car manufacturers. Both represent an inversion of reality and a purposeful misdirection of accountability.
Social and community context has come down to the anarchy caused by the invasion of our southern border, flooding America with hordes of economic opportunists, felons, child predators, sex-trafficked children, the sick and unhealthy, and drugs like fentanyl that have already killed many. How does overwhelming America’s social systems make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Social and community context has also come down to injustice: Soros-bought AGs releasing criminals back onto the street without prosecution, the Democrat party arresting political opponents, and stolen elections – all supported by a bought-and-paid-for media. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
As for me . . .
I don’t need or want more of the same. I don’t need or want the CDC or a government public health dept. or a globalist organization, for that matter, to tell me how to live as Healthy People 2030. The people of these organizations think you and I are sheep without a shepherd. I am not a lost sheep. Are you? Give me good non-scientism (apolitical) info and I’ll decide what to do.
If they ask me why I am healthy here’s what I would say:
Economic stability: I built my own economic stability with hard work, good choices, and faith in God.
Education access and quality: I am self-taught. I read and research. That has provided me with a quality education. I was able to earn 6-figures in an engineering field without a college degree (or DEI). I applied myself.
Health care access and quality: I go to the doctor for a yearly check up and blood test to check vitals. I pay the bill. I don’t look to TV or the CDC or to a public health dept. for my health recommendations or practices. I research and take care of myself.
I take lots of vitamin D and other vitamins, eat good food, exercise, take walks, go to church, listen to classical music, and pray. I keep Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin handy. I have never taken a vaccine.
Neighborhood and built environment: I’ve moved to where there are fewer Democrats. An area with Net-Zero Democrats would be great.
Social and community context: I moved out of the Chicago area a year ago to a community that, owing to civic pride among other virtues, respects others and other’s property.
Alive and well:
I am 70+ years old. I have never taken a flu vaccine, a COVID vaccine or had any vaccination since my mother took me to the doctor before I entered kindergarten back in the 50s.
I have never worn a mask except for five minutes to vote in the 2020 Presidential election (which was stolen by COVIDIAN Democrats).
I stayed away from stores, restaurants, churches, etc. that had mask and social distance requirements. For most people, freedom is choice. And freedom with good choices makes for Healthy People.
Healthy People 2030 sets data-driven national objectives to improve health and well-being over the next decade
Healthy People 2030 includes 359 core — or measurable — objectives as well as developmental and research objectives.
Man is born free and everywhere he is chains of public health treaties:
“The 2005 International Health Regulations (Agreement) signed by all of the world’s countries, provided that in the event of a declared global pandemic, all human, constitutional, and charter rights guaranteed by each country were to be suspended with the World Health Organization in control of the solution. This legal framework was set into motion in March 2020 when the WHO declared a global pandemic.”
By declaring health as one of the fundamental rights of every human, they have turned over our health to government oversight! What are considered adequate health and social measures? We will soon find out.

Be prepared. Be very prepared. The days of government-sponsored terror are here again. All heads on deck.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. More of the same (“pandemic” response ’20, ’21, ’22) and Healthy People 2030 will be imposed on us. Say “NO!” to all of it.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Crisis propaganda will be used again and again in the media to foment fear.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. The media’s paid-for and proposed answer to fear will be to trust the talking heads of the CDC and public health departments, vaccines, boosters, and “the science”.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Outsider public health control of our personal health looks benign on the surface BUT understand – the impetus is to obtain more power and control over the individual. What began to take place in March of 2020 should be a clarion wakeup call. The 2005 International Health Regulations (Agreement) is nothing but a license to control you and me. See the world conquest programs of the WHO and WEF. The loss of buying power is another way to control people. And so are surveillance drones.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Do not comply with mask mandates when they are foisted on you, your children or as a passenger of planes and public transportation.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Depopulation and Degrowth are rising movements within the COVID, Climate and Capitalism Alarmist groups. Don’t be depopulated or degrown by any means, including submitting to vaccines.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. 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.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Be ahead of the curve with your health and knowledge. Here are some treatment resources and information:
17,000 SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICIANS: Data shows the Covid Vaccinated are more likely to become infected or have disease or even death if they have been vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated people. It damages your heart, brain, reproductive tissue and lungs.pic.twitter.com/F6nMk3pN2p
“This 25-minute video explains in detail the mechanisms of action for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, as well as highlighting some of the known risks. If you wish to have a better understanding of the technology or wish for a refresher on the tech, as well as to learn a bit of cellular and molecular biology – this is a great primer. So, sit back, relax and open your mind to a bit of science.”
Opening chit chat – the climate change narrative. Then discussion about the impact of COVID restrictions and the new era of COVID nonsense. Then DAVOS Watch about elites have planned.
“With this vignette, I can tell you as a doctor I will refuse to sit in lockdown and wait for a vaccine. In 2020, Kortepeter et al published a paper highlighting potential treatments and future vaccines. Not mentioned is hydroxychloroquine which other papers have proposed as being a useful first empiric approach. Among the immediately available products in the world to consider that are known to be safe—would be hydroxychloroquine and favipiravir, a Japanese antiviral used for influenza and COVID-19. The other strategies shown in table are futuristic genetic agents or products with unacceptable toxicity such as remdesivir. Early therapeutics and high-quality supportive care which is commonly not available in poor African countries hold the promise to reduce mortality for this sporadic illness.”
The inflammatory properties of the nanoparticles used to ferry mRNA; N1-methylpseudouridine employed to prolong synthetic mRNA function; the widespread biodistribution of the mRNA and DNA codes and translated spike proteins, and autoimmunity via human production of foreign proteins, contribute to harmful effects.
This paper reviews autoimmune, cardiovascular, neurological, potential oncological effects, and autopsy evidence for spikeopathy. With many gene-based therapeutic technologies planned, a re-evaluation is necessary and timely.
This study provides an in-depth account of various cardiovascular adverse events reported after the mRNA vaccines’ first or second dose including pericarditis/myopericarditis, myocarditis, hypotension, hypertension, arrhythmia, cardiogenic shock, stroke, myocardial infarction/STEMI, intracranial hemorrhage, thrombosis (deep vein thrombosis, cerebral venous thrombosis, arterial or venous thrombotic events, portal vein thrombosis, coronary thrombosis, microvascular small bowel thrombosis), and pulmonary embolism.
“Never forget, Lobotomies were once “Standard of Care” for rowdy young boys and other “unmanageable loved ones” and was celebrated by main-stream media as a breakthrough… It’s possible that a doctor of that time may have told an anxious mother about to allow her son to have his brain damaged to “Trust the Science”” Dr. Ken D. Barry
I watched him park his black Mercedes. I watched him cross the parking lot. He was angry talking on the phone. I watched him sneer at a man get out of a car next to his. I watched him looking at his watch. I watched him enter the home. My son Edward.
I watched over him in my belly. I watched him at my breast. I watched his first steps. I heard his first words.
I heard his loud voice from my chair by the window. I heard my name. I heard “Five minutes.” I heard the front desk “Over there.”
I watched him come over. I heard “Mom, I’m here.” I felt a kiss on my head. I smelled cigar and bourbon. I saw my face cringe in the mirror. I saw him look in the mirror. “Sit down,” I said.
“I don’t have much time,” he said.
“Where you off to?” I said.
“My new business Going Beyond Inc.,” he said.
“What’s that?” I said.
“Human enhancement technology,” he said.
“What’s that?” I said.
“Life extension. Changing and improving humanity with technology,” he said. “Well how you been?”
“I’ve been here where you put me,” I said.
“I asked how you are,” he said.
“I’m eighty-seven years old have trouble reading, hearing, walking, eating, pooping, Jim is gone, and my only child has business to attend to,” I said.
“I come as often as I can get away,” he said. “Besides,” he said, “I pay them good money to look after you when I’m not here.”
“You better get on with it” I said. “Things are not improving here.”
I saw him place a twenty-dollar bill on the lamp stand.
“Have them buy some of that candy you like,” he said.
“I’ll rent a son,” I said.
I watched him look in the mirror one last time. I felt a kiss on my head. I smelled cigar and bourbon. I heard “Bye mmmm.” I watched him walk away.
I heard his loud voice from my chair by the window. I heard “Next month” “Keep eye on her.” I heard the front desk “Oh, she’s not going anywhere.”
I watched him leave the home. I watched him cross the parking lot. He was angry talking on the phone. I watched him looking at his watch. I watched him look over his car on the passenger side. I watched him get in his Mercedes. I watched him drive off. My son Edward.
Joe Vukov, Associate Professor of Philosophy and the Associate Director of the Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage at Loyola University Chicago, helps to explain the pitfalls of both extremes—on one side, the transhumanists (who embrace technology as a way to become more human) and on the other, the neoLuddites (who shun certain kinds of technology)—and begins to clear a path somewhere in the middle.
Like a thief in the night, artificial intelligence has inserted itself into our lives. It makes important decisions for us every day. Often, we barely notice. As Joe Allen writes in this groundbreaking book, “Transhumanism is the great merger of humankind with the Machine. At this stage in history, it consists of billions using smartphones. Going forward, we’ll be hardwiring our brains to artificial intelligence systems.”
“Let us not be charlatans and let us state openly that you can’t figure out anything in this world. Only fools and charlatans know and understand everything.”
There’s an old curse that goes something like “May you live in interesting times.” Well, we certainly live in interesting times. High drama, not peace and tranquility, seems to be what is desired by many and readily offered by “fools and charlatans”. Our world is vexed with constant convulsive commotion.
Why would some seek the dramatic instead of peace and tranquility? I’ll answer with conjecture so as to not be considered a fool or charlatan: there seems to be, by the amount of anger and discontent portrayed in the media, to be many unhappy people in the world.
Could it be that unhappy people have a need to remain unhappy? Could it be that unhappy people thrive on passion-evoking conflict to give them something to rage against and to feed their emptiness? A melodramatic life has a history – a story of critical moments that can be exploited and readily referred back to. The unhappy never let a crisis go to waste. And misery loves fellow travelers.
A prosaic life, on the other hand, has no dramatic history. Someone I just came across on social media noted the difference:
“When I look at the world on social media, life has never been worse. When I look at my real life (family, career/finance, general enjoyment, etc), life has never been better.”
Is high drama readily offered by “fools and charlatans? Here’s Bill Nye: “It’s very difficult to tie any specific weather event to climate change, but if you like to worry about things, this is a great time.”
“After Tropical Storm Hilary hit California this week, MSNBC ran to TV children’s show host Bill Nye to hype climate change, a typical move by the far-left cable news outlet. . ..
BILL NYE ON CLIMATE CHANGE
"People like to throw around the expression 'new normal.' It's not going to be normal, it's going to get worse and worse, probably," @BillNye says of landmark tropical storm #Hilary.
Dog bites man. Not news. Man bites dog. Front page news.
Westerly winds dry out non-native grass on Maui. Not news. Downed power line sparks wildfire. Westerly winds cause rapid spread of wildfire. Climate Change!!!!
Below, some of the Lies for the Taking being served up for the frustrated unhappy people who desire to bring everyone down to their level of misery. (Conjecture?)
(See previous posts for links that debunk many of the lies coming out of the mouths of “fools and charlatans”.)
The Lies of the Climate Concerned:
We’re all gonna die unless . . .
King Charles III has launched a catastrophe countdown clock. It will tick until 2030, a year in which he predicts “serious consequences” if the world doesn’t effectively address “climate change.”
“As President Joe Biden prepares to visit Maui, the Hawaiian island devastated by the deadliest wildfire in U.S. modern history, lawmakers and climate groups are begging the White House to do more to prevent future climate-related disasters.
Their argument: If the latest environmental catastrophe won’t spur the president into action, what will?”
Here’s Tedros, Director-General of the World Health Organization, with more climate crisis fear porn to bring about centralized control.
The Lies of the Optics Concerned – Maui:
“While en route to Maui, three weeks after the wildfire that devastated the Hawaiian island began, White House spokesperson Olivia Dalton said President Joe Biden will “make sure that he communicates to that not only have we been there since day one, has he been there since day one.””
During his speech in Milwaukee, the president appeared to forget the name Maui, referring to the island as 'the one where you see on television all the time.' 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ pic.twitter.com/Ao5DWp8PJb
NEW: President Biden once again tries to make the Maui fire that killed ~500 people about himself by telling a story about how he almost lost his corvette in a house fire.
You can always count on Biden to tell a story that didn’t happened.
Judge Jeanine Pirro GOES OFF over Biden's visit to Maui:
"He has a lack of empathy, he is egocentric, he has got a condescending smirk whenever anybody asks him a question from the press, he is lying, and he's narcissistic." pic.twitter.com/wCbzLvDtpe
Dr. Gottlieb is connected to the FDA, to Pfizer, to the CIA, and more. See Dr. Malone’s article at link below for more on the “pretty concerned” Dr. Scott Gottlieb.
Dr. Malone writes . . .
“Propagation of Fear porn based on fake news and hype is now a validated method for Big Pharma to control governments and their populations. But are people buying it this time around?
“One of my primary care physician colleagues wrote this to me yesterday:
“Who would’ve thought that Covid would resurge as a concern for so many! I’m getting bombarded with calls and request for ivermectin, folks who are testing unnecessarily. Absolute panic out there once again.
“To further the suggestion that another lockdown scare is in the forecast, yesterday the US Department of Health and Human Services announced funding of $1.4 billion to “support the development of a new generation of tools and technologies to protect against COVID-19 for years to come” according to a press release” (Emphasis mine.)
How do we prepare for the typical fall flu season? With “a physician that will help you determine the correct dosing of Vitamin D3 and zinc, as well as be willing to prescribe multi-drug, early treatment protocols against COVID, and one that isn’t going to pressure you or your family into unnecessary shots.”
“We employ doctors who aren’t afraid to utilize effective, simple, and safe treatments for viral infection through the intelligent use of prescription medicines that have been around for years, and in some cases, decades. By focusing on the pathology of the toll that viral infections take on the human body, we’ve discovered that some off-label medicines can be more consistent, effective, and safe than new experimental treatments.”
“We’ve already been over everything you need to know about “Eris” here. Long story short, “Covid” is just another made up name for the flu, and the “variants” are coats of paint they slap on the narrative to try and keep it looking fresh.
“In that same article I theorised Eris’ existence was a need to keep Covid alive, and that is part of it…but I also missed something obvious: The next round of Covid “vaccines” hits the shelves next month.” (Emphasis mine.)
The Biden administration has announced a plan to encourage all Americans to receive a Coronavirus booster shot during the upcoming fall season to respond to an apparent wave of infections.
Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noting a rise in virus-related infections and hospitalizations, the White House highlighted that the overall infection rates remain relatively low.
“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the overall levels of COVID-19 in the country are very low. (Emphasis mine.)
Santa Monica, which is in Los Angeles County, has an extremely low rate of COVID-19 hospital admissions.”
“Positivity rates for the COVID-19 test are similarly low across the country, including in California.”
But that doesn’t stop fools and charlatans imposing mask mandates and people going along with the drama.
Do Not let them do this to your children. Say “NO!” to masks and mandates.
“College students and others across America should be preparing for mass protest against mask mandates citing a First Amendment right to engage in political speech, which refusing to wear a mask can be construed as in any environment attempting to mandate it. The second they mandate wearing a mask, it’s a political issue, so refusing to wear one in such a condition can be construed wholly as a political statement. The First Amendment provides strong protections for political speech.” – James Lindsey (Emphasis mine)
The new Covid regulations are a test. Are we unified in our distrust of them? Will we fight each other? Are we still controllable? Will we take it? Overreact? They will come in waves of escalating provocations that take more and more while making less and less sense.
“A brief list of some of the COVID lies we have heard over the last couple of years (with thanks and acknowledgment to Dr. Scott Atlas):
-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has a far higher fatality rate than influenza virus by several orders of magnitude
-Everyone has a significant risk of death from COVID-19.
-No one has immunity, because this virus is new (“novel”) and so expedited vaccine development and deployment is essential.
-Everyone is dangerous and spreads the infection
-Asymptomatic people are major drivers of the spread of disease.
-Locking down- closing schools and businesses, confining people to their homes, stopping non-COVID medical care, and eliminating travel will stop/eliminate the virus.
-Masks will protect everyone and stop the spread.
-Immune protection can only be obtained with a vaccine.
-Natural immunity conferred by infection and recovery is short lived and inferior to vaccine-induced immunity.”
“Who was responsible for these lies?
Deborah Birx (who was trained by Anthony Fauci).
She wrote virtually all official White House guidance to state Governors.
This usurped constitutional authority of states to set public health policies.
Not a lie: “The President took office determined to move beyond these failed trickle-down policies and fundamentally change the economic direction of our country.” (Emphasis mine.)
No conspiracy theory: Bidenomics is high inflation and high interest rates – for Democrats and Republicans; people going back to work after COVID is not creation of new jobs.
The U.S. dollar has been so mishandled and degraded under the Biden regime – by Janet Yellen, Jerome Powell and Congress – that countries are turning to other currency.
There’s a pervasive attitude held by many Washington insiders – respectability. Put in a turn of phrase from Princess Bride, they would say “We are men of respectability, MAGA doesn’t become us.”
The “respectable” hoity-toity see themselves as morally and intellectually superior over the rather distasteful hoi polloi. They are disconnected from the common folk. They relate to them with contempt, with sneering media comments, and through opinion pieces – prescriptions as to how the little people should think and act – like them.
The “respectable” see themselves as lofty and undeniably important – as ruling class. Washington and the media abide them because they are controlled opposition.
Who are these “respectable” people? They include National Review writers, Bill Kristol, David Harsanyi, George Will, Jonah Goldberg, David French, Mike Pence, Indiana Senator Todd Young, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Chris Wallace, and Bret Baier.
Three presidents – Nixon, Reagan, and Trump – were threats to the administrative state that had incubated during FDR’s three terms and has grown enormously since. The administrative state reacts aggressively when its tentacles, that reach into all sectors of society, come under attack.
And so it was that Nixon was assailed with Watergate and left office. Reagan’s focus on the Cold War may have been the reason why Washington didn’t mess with him.
Today, with unjustifiable impeachments and indictments, a hostile constantly sniping media, and a stolen election, Trump has been mercilessly attacked by the leviathan administrative state that wants not only to maintain its status quo but, even more so, wants to increase its scope of influence over every citizen.
The “respectable” people mentioned above are in on the attack. Justice for them is that which leaves them feeling smug.
‘You’re Wrong’ With Mollie Hemingway And David Harsanyi, Ep. 59: ‘Rich Men North Of Richmond’
The Lies that Indict Saying Contesting Elections is a Crime:
Common knowledge. Hillary Clinton contested an election. Al Gore contested an election. Stacy Abram contested an election. Amy Klobuchar contested an election. And others. None of these were indicted.
“The victims this time are Trump and his friends. But it could be you next time, and it will be. “A boot stomping on a human face forever,” as Orwell said. Again, it’s happening now, and it can kill America as we know it.” (Emphasis mine.)
“The Democrats are so far out of line that I can barely comprehend it. They’ve created an incredibly tenuous racketeering charge and indicted lawyers who were legally representing their clients for practicing law. This is beyond the pale.
“The Democrats and the Fulton County DA are criminalizing the practice of law.”
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness. You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice, nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his lawsuit.
— Exodus 23:1-3
If you have been on the receiving end of a lie, you know that lies are meant to manipulate. We’ve recently seen that lies pervert justice and indict. We’ve also seen that lies are involved in stealing elections, defrauding voters and dividing the public.
Lies used politically are meant to produce homogenized thought. Lies were used during COVID and now with the Climate Crisis narrative. And what better fear porn drama can be conjured up than a campaign to “combat online misinformation” (that works to keep truth from getting a foothold)?
Who better to deliver the fear porn drama of lies than know-it-all “fools and charlatans” or as they’re called today “the experts”? They were paraded out for the COVID “pandemic” and for the Climate “crisis”. And now for the COVID “variant crisis”.
If you accept and submit to the lie, you’re in the club. If you reject the lie, then the lie has set you up to fail and power sweeps in to “correct” you. If you don’t accept the lie, you’re considered to be an extremist, a cult member:
John Kerry now says you’re in a “cult” if you disagree with his views on climate change. pic.twitter.com/ymDh3bAK4c
Lies set you up to fail – being called names, being indicted, exclusion, etc. – if you do not accept them.
Lies blend contexts, as if they were the same thing, e.g., slavery at one time in the U.S. and all whites are racist.
Lies project onto others. (Watch CNN & MSNBC for examples.)
Lies create anxiety. (“Is he or she telling me the truth? What should I believe?)
Lies oppose human growth and well-being.
Lies destroy the spiritual growth of others and work to preserve and protect a sick world, the world of the unhappy.
When a lie is found out you may find yourself cursing the lie and the liar. Or you may vote for more lies and more drama, interesting times being desired.
“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
Mask mandates will not fly; tell your lawmakers we will not comply.
Mask mandates, and even Covid jab mandates to attend school seem to be returning in some states. And the rumor mill is churning that even more are coming down the pike from the Biden administration.
Regardless if these rumors are true or not, or if more colleges and more hospitals follow suit, one thing remains the same: We will not comply.
Mandatory medicine and mandated interventions such as social distancing and mask-wearing have no place in a free society. Citizens have the right to make responsible decisions about what is best for themselves and their children based on their own unique circumstances.
Email your lawmakers now to urge them to do their part to make sure that mask-wearing remains voluntary. Use link below.
I sent the following Word Doc, composed from the Stand For Health email to lawmakers, to the Governor of Indiana and Indiana’s Health commissioner. Use the document to send to anyone in your state that needs this message.
The German government has embarked on an advertising campaign to brand mothers as ‘climate killers’. You absolutely know that this is all part of the ‘depopulation agenda’.
The only solution to the alleged “Climate Crisis” the Left will accept is Communism. What a surprise.
Property tax means you never own your property. It means you rent it from government.
Truth, beauty and happy go together.
By the Riverside by Belgian artist Emile Claus 1920
Impending doom. It’s in the mouths of Climate Change activists and environmentalists. It’s in the mythos eschatology of those who want to return to primitive times – proponents of the axial age, the age of a dark green religion and Degrowth. It’s in the marketing of the WEF, WHO, and ESG. With a select focus on impending doom, the need for sweeping “solutions” follows. And with sweeping “solutions” follows chaos and destruction.
I have previously posted about the WEF, the WHO, and ESG. Let’s now take a brief look at the thinking behind Degrowth with its impetus of impending doom.
On economic anthropologist Jason Hickel’s web site we learn that “The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown and ecological collapse” and “There is only one solution that will lead to meaningful and immediate change: degrowth.”
On the Degrowth website we find a definition (with sweeping conjecture):
“Degrowth is an idea that critiques the global capitalist system which pursues growth at all costs, causing human exploitation and environmental destruction. The degrowth movement of activists and researchers advocates for societies that prioritize social and ecological well-being instead of corporate profits, over-production and excess consumption. This requires radical redistribution, reduction in the material size of the global economy, and a shift in common values towards care, solidarity and autonomy. Degrowth means transforming societies to ensure environmental justice and a good life for all within planetary boundaries.” (Emphasis mine.)

What is ‘degrowth’ and how can it fight climate change?
The cure for a changing climate could be a stagnant economy. (Emphasis mine.)
“Parrique says to picture economies like people with metabolisms—when you’re young, you need to eat lots of food, and as a result, produce lots of waste, to get big and strong. But if you keep eating like a rapidly-growing human well into adulthood, that’s probably not the healthiest way to be. As an adult, it makes more sense to balance out your diet for sustaining your body’s current needs.”
Economic growth is leading to overconsumption and climate change. Degrowth argues that shrinking our economies can have benefits.Degrowth – BBC Worklife
Degrowth Buzzwords: Beyond Growth, Net Zero, Absolute Zero, Emissions, Sustainability
In short, degrowth, “an alternative to capitalism”, is communism. Degrowth is Marxism with Malthusian planning. Its outworking is as a Communist death cult. Its premise: Too many people and too much consumption means the end of Mother Earth. So, you must stop living, i.e., become Net Zero, to produce a sustainable earth.
Is Degrowth something new or has its death-force always been around? Look around and see how human life has been handled and is now being handled.
Degrowth is Anthony Fauci prohibiting Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin – highly effective low-cost repurposed drugs -being used to treat COVID and save lives.
Degrowth is using Remdesivir to treat COVID patients in hospitals.
Degrowth is sending COVID-19-positive patients into nursing homes.
Degrowth is an mRNA vaccine that produces deadly adverse effects.
Degrowth is digital currency – the means to limit consumption.
Degrowth is ESG deciding who has access to capital.
Degrowth is forced social transformation.
Degrowth is employing a pandemic psyop. The creation of fear leads to submission to Degrowth “solutions”.
Degrowth is employing a climate crisis psyop. The creation of fear leads to submission to Degrowth “solutions”.
Degrowth is the WHO, the UN, and the WEF – globalists organizations that want complete control of life on earth.
Degrowth is inflation, Biden’s Green energy tax imposed upon Americans.
Degrowth is engineered scarcity. “You will own nothing and be happy.”
Degrowth is population control using abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, euthanasia, and bioweapon pandemics.
Degrowth is sending billions of tax-payer dollars over to one of the most corrupt nations on earth while Biden offers $700 to Maui residents.
Degrowth is wasting billions of tax-payer dollars for unreliable renewable gizmos and not using the money to build reliable nuclear reactors.
Degrowth is creating stifling economic conditions leading to exhaustion, despair and suicide. (Suicides reached an all-time high in 2022.)
Degrowth is incompetence, lack of foresight, neglect of infrastructure, not clearing brush and flammable grass, letting things go. (See Maui headlines below.)
Last century there were those who wanted to change the world to their vision of the world. Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao used fear to generate “cooperation” towards those ends. In the process of social transformation to produce results, millions were killed. Little wonder that the entry on ‘mass killings’ under Communism may one day be deleted. The entry won’t help the “reduce inequality and share national and global income more fairly” Degrowth narrative.
The gospel of Degrowth has all of last century’s collectivist trappings and propensity to snuff out life for the sake of a “sustainability”. The reach of last century’s tyrants didn’t cover the earth. Today, digital technology covers the earth. So now a message of “impending doom” and Degrowth “salvation” will reach across the globe and bring death and destruction to more lives. And that’s because . . .
Degrowth, like Marxism, is a God-less perspective. There is no mention of God in its prospectuses. Degrowth takes no account of God or of God’s providential care of His creation or of humans as the collective image of God acting as agents to continue to bring order and function to creation as they work with God. Degrowthers want none of that. They are their own gods.
Degrowthers, as did Marx, picture human existence after everything has been “rectified” through long struggles, a series of historic processes, and transformation of circumstances and men, to be something like that of carefree Eloi sitting around with the lion and the lamb eating fruit and reading poetry.
If we “picture economies like people with metabolisms” then Degrowth is a deadly virus.
The sub-title of my blog: Walking around on Resurrection ground. These words are not some sappy sentiments. These words speak of an eye-witnessed historical reality – God, very God, is personally involved with His creation. Jesus, in going to the cross, gave us the example we are to follow – not employing an authoritarian program of Degrowth (the wisdom of this world) but choosing the paradoxical path of self-denial leading to true life.
We are to put off our old self, which belonged to our former manner of life that was corrupted through deceitful desires, to find true life. Doing away with lack of self-control, covetousness, greed, etc. has implications not just for the individual but for the world.
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, they must give themselves up, and pick up their cross, and follow me. Yes: if someone wants to save their life, they must lose it; and if anyone loses their life for my sake they will find it. What use will it be, otherwise, if you win the world but forfeit your true life? What will you give to get your life back? -Jesus, the gospel of Matthew 16: 24-26

“This is a catastrophe beyond imagination and the response of the State governments has been appalling. Surprisingly, local rescue workers have high praise for the FEMA response team. They are doing the work the State government refused to do. Instead of transparency it looks like the outside world is being fed disinformation by the local government in order to down play the scope and scale of the disaster.” (Emphasis mine.)

Struggle session example #2 – lacking awareness of wrongthink:
Thoughtcrime per Thought Police:
“New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said Wednesday during an interview with Yahoo Finance that he “will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country”
“In an attempt to talk about respect, unity, and solidarity centered around the American flag and the national anthem, I made comments that were insensitive and completely missed the mark on the issues we are facing right now as a country,” he said. “They lacked awareness and any type of compassion or empathy. Instead, those words have become divisive and hurtful and have misled people into believing that somehow I am an enemy. This could not be further from the truth, and is not an accurate reflection of my heart or my character.”
“Special counsel Jack Smith revealed four felony charges against Trump on Tuesday, including three conspiracies and one count of obstructing or attempting to obstruct an official proceeding. Prosecutors allege Trump continued to peddle lies about the outcome of the 2020 election despite knowing that he lost.
“These claims were false, and the Defendant knew that they were false,” the 45-page indictment read. “But the defendant repeatedly and widely disseminated them anyway—to make his knowingly false claims appear legitimate, create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger, and erode public faith in the administration of the election.”
Not going to happen. And, per Constitution legal scholar Jonathon Turley:
“Trump followed the advice of a second, albeit smaller, set of lawyers who told him there was a basis for challenging the election.
“That is not a crime. It is, in my view, protected political speech. Presidents routinely lie on matters great and small. Many of those lies cost citizens dearly, from “keeping your doctor” under ObamaCare to losing your life in Vietnam. Criminalizing lies in campaigns because of the spread of disinformation or disorder is a slippery slope that vests unprecedented power in the Justice Department.”
Struggle session example #4 – disseminating wrongthink:
Thoughtcrime per Thought Police:
“During a Sunday prayer, the priest asked God to “work a miracle and bring these great peoples together: Ukraine and Russia.” He also beseeched the Lord to make Russians and Ukrainians “stop exterminating and killing each other” and help them “build the kingdom of heaven here, on Earth” to eventually “ascend to the skies together.”
“These words did not sit well with local journalist Darya Sipigina, who was the first to publish videos from the sermon, along with a Facebook post in which she blasted Kurach’s words as “shocking.” “How is this even possible a year and a half [into the conflict]?” she asked in her post, while accusing the Uzhhorod Greek-Catholic Church of a lack of “respect for those who defend the Ukrainian land and die for it.”
“A call for peace between Russians and Ukrainians has landed a Ukrainian priest in hot water. Roman Kurach, who serves with the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, has had to apologize publicly after his words prompted an intervention by some Ukrainian journalists and sparked what the local media called a “massive scandal.””

Struggle sessions and re-education camps.
Is the following happening where you work? Are you told, under threat of dismissal, to believe lies? Are you forced to do DEI and CRT Training – told to believe harmful nonsense under threat of dismissal?
“These workers were subjected to a struggle session in the guise of diversity training, during which the white males on the staff were made to apologise for their white privilege. They were also made to acknowledge a connection between white male culture and mass killings. This closely mirrors how educated people were made to apologize for all the ills of the world during the Maoist struggle sessions.”
“One specific kind of public humiliation is what’s called “The Struggle Session.” It was a punishment reserved for people who committed wrong-think. The point was to publicly degrade the person until they swore allegiance to the Communist Party. Their focus is on the elimination of the power base and/or class position of enemy classes or groups. It was also a warning to everyone watching: If you don’t bend your knee to communism, you will be destroyed.”
Mao’s formula for transforming society- unity, criticism, unity- underlies DEI, social emotional learning and more.
“They start from a desire for unity, and they are taught a contrived notion of right and wrong through criticism and struggle so that we can arrive at a new, contrived unity on a new, contrived basis. Everyone outside of the desire for unity is an enemy of the people.” ~Mao.
“Richard Wurmbrand was imprisoned and tortured for 14 long years in a Communist Romanian prison. . .
“Not only did Richard undergo physical torture, but also brainwashing. According to Richard the brainwashing went like this, “Communism is good! Communism is good! Communism is good! Christianity is stupid! Christianity is stupid! Christianity is stupid! Give up! Give up! Give up!” For 17 hours a day, Rev. Richard went through this brainwashing with his faith intact.”
Struggle sessions or denunciation rallies were violent public spectacles in Maoist China where people accused of being “class enemies” were publicly humiliated, accused, beaten and tortured by people with whom they were close. Usually conducted at the workplace, classrooms and auditoriums, “students were pitted against their teachers, friends and spouses were pressured to betray one another, [and] children were manipulated into exposing their parents”.
At what point, exactly, does one risk one’s comfort, one’s career, one’s safety, and even one’s soul, for a matter of principle?

Remember the two years of the COVID struggle session? The globalist overlords and are planning another pandemic/struggle session. And the Biden regime is going to soon announce a climate emergency – another struggle session.
A struggle session uses fear (fear of isolation is used among other tactics) to tear down perceived systems of power, e.g., whiteness, maleness, Christianity, tradition, science, so that only ideology and those in power remain. Power, not truth, is sought after these days. For, it is believed that power can decide what is true.
Acton Institute: Bishop Robert Barron speaking on “The Philosophical Roots of Wokeism.”
“I will argue in my presentation that “wokeism” is a popularization of critical theory, a farrago of ideas coming out of the French and German academies in the mid-twentieth century. Until we understand its origins in the thinking of Adorno, Horkheimer, Derrida, Marcuse, and Foucault, we will not know how critically to engage this dangerous philosophy.”
A review of White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo & How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi.
“DiAngelo has apparently made a career of anti-racist struggle sessions in which ordinary employees of various organizations must confess publicly to their racism however hidden it might be, as university professors, primary school teachers, doctors working in slums, etc., had once in China to confess to bourgeois propensities and counter-revolutionary ideas. They may never have uttered a racist sentiment, they may never have been rude to a person of another race, let alone violent towards one, they may have friends of other races or even be married to a person of another race, but they carry racism deep within them like Original Sin, with this difference: there can be no redemption from it even after having read DiAngelo’s book and attended her struggle sessions.”
“One is reminded of the type of psychoanalysis which after thirty years of hourly sessions four times a week fails to get to the root of the analysand’s problem, let alone solve it, because it doesn’t even know what the problem is. But failure is also an opportunity, because, like psychoanalysis, the more anti-racist training fails, the more it is needed.”
“By demonstrating how bad a person she is, DiAngelo demonstrates how good a person she is. A story that she relates towards the end of her book illustrates to perfection her self-satisfaction and moral grandiosity that masquerade as confession of sin.”
“Apart from the massacres, deaths and famines for which communism was responsible, the worst thing about the system was the official lying: that is to say the lying in which everyone was forced to take part, by repetition, assent or failure to contradict. I came to the conclusion that the purpose of propaganda in communist countries was not to persuade, much less to inform, but to humiliate and emasculate.”
No struggle session here. They’ve gone straight to the slaughter. Coming to a neighborhood near you?

“In almost every death certificate that identifies a covid vaccine as a cause of death, the CDC committed data fraud by not assigning the ICD 10 code for vaccine side effects to the causes of death listed on the death certificate.”
“The TIME article’s writer, Molly Ball, gleefully makes claims that a secret cabal joined forces across the country to stop Donald Trump from winning re-election, using methods such as manipulating legacy and social media coverage, getting elected officials to change election laws, and using a network of big business and union workers to manipulate voting machines, vote counts, and to push back against anyone questioning the integrity of the vote.

“For peaceably assembling to petition his government for one day last year, Ristau says, he was threatened with the removal of his security clearance and government confiscation of his retirement nest egg, kids’ college funds, and other life savings.

There are many subjects I’d like to post about. As an autodidact I have a wide variety of interests coupled to a driving impulse to look outside the box marked “that’s all you need to know”. Art, music, literature, economics, business, research on Scripture, and science have been touched on in my posts. But because of the threat of tyranny on the horizon, I have been posting about matters crucial to life on this planet.
The situation on the ground is not looking up. This post, a break from my current posts, takes a look up with the help of the James Webb Space Telescope and astronomy.
After retiring at the end of last year I joined the Indiana Astronomical Society to learn astronomy. Through IAS I attended the following livestream: Exploring the Universe with the James Webb Space Telescope with Caty Pilachowski, Ph.D.
Caty Pilachowski is an observational astronomer, using large telescopes in Hawaii, Arizona, and Chile to study the chemical evolution of stars, specifically how the compositions of different populations of stars differ from each other due to different histories of star formation. She studies rainbows of starlight to identify and measure the signatures of different chemical elements to determine how much of those elements each star contains. Before joining the faculty at IU in 2001, Caty worked at the national observatory in Tucson, where she helped to build the 3.5 meter WIYN telescope that IU astronomers use for their research.

“Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look for formulas and easy answers, and to begin to think multidimensionally, to glory in the mystery and paradoxes of life, not to be dismayed by the multitude of causes and consequences that are inherent in each experience — to appreciate the fact that life is complex.” ― M.

“The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”
A totally controlled society will arrive in the next few minutes. It will be made possible by advanced digital technology that asserts “almost continuous surveillance over every citizen” and maintains “up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen”. Authoritarians will take what we have allowed and use it for their purposes.

Biometrics, facial recognition systems, eye sensors and voice scanners record and track our unique physical characteristics. We have allowed our personal data and privacy to be plundered with our use of Smartphones, Smart home technology, and telemetrics in our cars. Smart devices are designed to interact with their environment using context awareness.
“Context-awareness is a system or system component’s ability to gather information about its environment at any given time and adapt behaviors accordingly. Cameras, microphones and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receivers, radar and LIDAR sensors are all potential sources of data for context-aware computing. A context-aware system may gather data through these and other sources and respond according to pre-established rules or through computational intelligence.”
Note the last bit. “Computational intelligence” is AI or “Artificial Intelligence” (Thank you Kamala Harris!).
Digital gizmos, marketed to the end user as a means of greater control, convenience, and increased productivity and efficiency, will be used by a centralized system that is contextually aware of the end user and will “respond according to pre-established rules or through “computational intelligence.”
The “more controlled society” will be here in the next few minutes. Our individual privacy will be obliterated in the next few minutes. Smart devices will turn on us. Our future is being programmed for us. The digital controlling apparatus – a Big Brother police state with “pre-established rules” – is being completed as I write this.
Why isn’t any of this all over the news? Why aren’t we hearing about FedNow and the July launch of the central bank digital currency infrastructure? Why aren’t we hearing about 15-minute cities and social credit scoring systems like what is being used in Communist China? Why aren’t we hearing about being controlled with digital currency, digital IDs, biometric IDs, facial recognition, biased AI, and one’s internet history? Isn’t the media supposed to be exposing what is actually going on?
“The way things are supposed to work is that we’re supposed to know virtually everything about what they [the government] do: that’s why they’re called public servants. They’re supposed to know virtually nothing about what we do: that’s why we’re called private individuals.”

On Wednesday, July 26, 2023 I attended webinar Two Sides of the Same Coin – Digital IDs and CBDC.
“WASHINGTON — In June, the WHO announced it is looking to adopt the European Union’s Digital COVID Vaccine Certificate (EU DCC) model for its proposed “Global Digital Health ID” as part of the new pandemic treaty. Furthermore, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is beavering away on a plan to establish a global Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which when combined with a Global Digital ID will transform the way the international, national, state, and local economies function; enable non-representative, unaccountable, centralized, global governance; and promote the establishment of a social credit score like that oppressing citizens in Communist China.
Already in Europe, many of the proposed policies in the text are being rolled out by public health agencies and institutions. For example, the use of a “European Digital ID,” initially intended to track COVID vaccine status is rapidly expanding — and becoming mandatory — for many services like banking and transportation.”

Let’s take a close look at the Life Skills of the administrative state.
At a Brownsburg Community School Corporation meeting on Monday night, the school board approved the termination or resignation of four staffers involved in a lunchroom incident where a special-needs student was mistreated and subjected to eating his own puke.
According to the Brownsburg Police Department, Seymour advised a 7-year-old Life Skills student that, if he vomited, he would have to eat whatever he threw up.
The child, on a tray provided by Taylor, indeed vomited, at which point Kanipe provided the child with a spoon.
BROWNSBURG, Ind. — A law firm representing the family of a 7-year-old special needs student who was told to eat his own vomit by school staff at Brown Elementary revealed that the student’s family wasn’t notified about the abuse until two months later when media reports shed light on the incident.
[Attorney Catherine Michael of Connell Michael Kerr LLP] said the family has only been provided limited information about the abuse but was shown a video that shows the child being provided a spoon by Debra Kanipe, a Life Skills instructional aide at Brown Elementary. In the video, both Kanipe and Sara Seymour, a Life Skills teacher, stand on each side of the student as the child is told to eat his own vomit off a lunch tray. (Emphasis mine.)
The attorneys for the special needs student in Brownsburg say this whole situation is part of a much bigger problem.
You may remember the story of a seven-year-old boy at Brown Elementary School who police say was forced to eat his own vomit by two school staffers on February 16th, all while three others stood back and watched, never reporting the situation.
Attorneys for the family, Catherine Michael and Tammy Meyer, say this doesn’t surprise them and isn’t anything new.
“Special education abuse is actually becoming far more common,” says Catherine Michael on WIBC’s Kendall and Casey show, “we’re talking about this case now, but Tammy and I have handled many cases where unfortunately, it’s not caught on camera.”

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.

Blackrock – a totalitarian assetDr. Francis Boyle talks about bioweapons, population control.
Francis Boyle, professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law, talks about bioweapons, population reduction of “useless eaters”, the racist use of bioweapons, transhumanism.
“Information warfare conducted by the US government includes covert propaganda, controlled opposition, chaos agents, divide & conquer operations, false flags, disinformation campaigns, bad jacketing, advertising and more. These are being combined with neural-linguistic programming, subliminal messaging, nudge technology, hypnosis and propaganda.”
“Commenting on climate alarmism, [Nobel Prize laureate Dr. John] Clauser has said that “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people.””
“Yuval Harari, Klaus Schwab’s right-hand man has called for so-called “conspiracy theorists” to be banned from the Internet because of their “dangerous” belief that a global clique of elites controls the world . . .”
As learned in my previous post Fear and Loathing inWard 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”.
-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.”
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.”

Sir Francis Galton coined the term “eugenics” in 1883 which inspired fear of “race degeneration” in countries like Germany, which infamously applied many of Galton’s theories to their master race ideologies under Nazi rule.

“I strongly believe that given the technologies we are now developing, within a century or two at most, our species will disappear. I don’t think that in the end of the 22nd century, the Earth will still be dominated by Homo sapiens.” -Yuval Harari

“We get our meaning from the fact that we are made in God’s image, born with a free will to decide whether we will follow Him or follow the rest of the sheep who are following vain leaders, blind guides like Harari and Schwab, mere mortals who think they are smarter than everyone else when in fact they are pitiful human beings devoid of the discernment of God’s Holy Spirit. They are vacant souls, uttering silly human “hypotheses,” because they have no rudder to keep them on the path that leads to life, eternal life. All Harari can offer is hopelessness. Oh but he sounds so smart in delivering his dismal message.”
“This is where modern technocracy starts to resemble the old gnostic paganism where a certain elitist class of people have access to secret knowledge that the common folks just aren’t able to tap into.”
A handful of factors played in to the psychosis that led most of humanity into believing that what happened in early 2020 was worthy of the fastest rollup of power in human history, and has Congress up in arms strategizing on legislation to prevent the “next one,” surely via more centralization of power.”

“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. As with Ward No. 6, he lets readers see and hear for themselves and make their own judgements. I appreciate this way of writing. For one thing, I am not a fan of preaching. I had my fill growing up. I attended churches where preaching, and not the Eucharist, is the pinnacle of the service. I’ve moved on to an Anglican church.)
[2] When Chekhov wrote Ward No. 6, he was reading Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations. A couple of quotes from that journal apply to Dr. Ragin’s disposition: “Our life is what our thoughts make it.”; “You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

Capitalism seeks to help others through a servce or product it provides. Free Market Capitalism is the most moral and fair economic system available to man.

Socialism redistributes ambivalence and greed.

All Heads on Deck
September 8, 2023 Leave a comment
It’s the beginning of September and the neighborhood is showing signs of Halloween. The season of dabbling in fear for fun is crouching at the door ready to have you. And, so are the days of government-sponsored terror. . . again.
Remember September of 2021? `The trickster in the White House backdoored the use of OSHA to ensure that all workers in companies with 100 or more employees were either fully vaccinated [with the unholy mRNA serum] or submitted to weekly testing and mandatory masking? Members of the military and hospital workers were forced to take the jab. No exemptions allowed. Never forget. Our government, spooks and all, hasn’t forgotten either.
It/They/Them created a reason for their dabbling-in-fear seasons: obsessing about personal health.
Did you know that August was NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION [$Big Pharma$] AWARENESS MONTH?
And, from the CDC website:
“September is National Preparedness [for martial law] Month, an observance “to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time.” In 2023, we are launching a series of discussion-based activities to help public health departments develop “whole community” plans [using martial law] that consider the impacts of social determinants of health on personal health preparedness and response.”
Tell me. If your only tool is public health admin, then is everything a potential health issue? It would seem so based on the almost unlimited scope of the CDC’s Social Determinants of Health.
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are “non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life” [where martial law could be employed]. (Emphasis mine.)
SDOH are grouped by Healthy People 2030 into five key areas.
Economic stability
Education access and quality
Health care access and quality
Neighborhood and built environment
Social and community context
Note how overreaching and potentially meddlesome the CDC approach is to our lives. The wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life could be construed as anything including climate, guns, access to capital, what is taught in schools [CRT, LGBTQ+], how businesses are structured [DEI, ESG, tied to government, aka fascism], infrastructure [15-minute cities], religion, and much more.
The CDC, with its ties to the medical-pharmaceutical-biotech-climate industrial complex and the CIA, and with its influence on state and local government, has set itself up as pervasive authoritarian busybody/social engineers. We saw its domineering influence during season of the COVID plandemic. We will see it in this season’s government-sponsored terror.
Public health is nothing more than a mask for tyranny.
Now consider some of the track record of government agencies regarding the CDC’s Social Determinants of Health:
Mandates, locking down the economy, high energy costs, high food prices, inflation, high interest rates, and doubling the deficit with outrageous amounts of government spending – none of these government activities promote Economic stability. How does spending money we don’t have and giving billions of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine promote Economic stability? How does itmake for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Digital currency, not government spending reform, will be implemented as a means to bring about economic stability – by controlling our use of money.
Education access and quality has come down to what the Progressive teachers’ unions, the Marxist-lesbian president of the American Library Association, the deep state Dept. of Ed., and the corrupt DOJ want. And that comes down to wanting more taxpayer money, more CRT that fosters racism, hate, and segregation, more class warfare that fosters hate and division, more depravity with LGBTQ+ books and pornography, and more accusing parents at school board meeting of being domestic terrorists. And that has come down to less and less education for blacks and more and more of the blame game. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Health care access and quality has come down to dealing with less choice, hospital consolidation and mega-hospital systems all under CDC “guidance”. It has been shown to come down to CDC recommendations turned mandates by local authoritarians, COVID camps, and the mandating of vaccines – with a multitude of adverse effects – that no one should be taking. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Will you be allowed Health care access and quality if you do not have a vaccine passport? Will you be allowed into society if you do not have constant contract tracing?
Neighborhood and built environmenthave come down to defunding the police and the destruction of American cities by Democrats. No one feels safe on public transportation or walking the streets of these cities. People and businesses are leaving these cities. See Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and San Fransisco.
The open border will destroy cities. Just ask a mayor of a “Sanctuary City” like NYC Mayor Eric Adams. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Neighborhood and built environment have come down to the neglect of East Palatine, Ohio by incompetent Pete Buttigieg and the deadly incompetent government leaders of Maui. Why don’t know the number of children killed in the fires? How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Neighborhood and built environment have come down to forcing people to rent through high interest rates and WEF policies that say “You’ll own nothing and be happy”. Renters are put in a position of servitude to landlords who are in servitude to globalist governments who will decide how you live.
A neighborhood and built environment of renters will come down to unstable families, transitory communities, and insecurity involving terms and rent amounts. Maybe that’s why globalists so desire to make everyone a renter – to make everyone dependent on them. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Some hubristic moron at Axios writing that homeownership is “holding back the economy, hobbling the Federal Reserve, and exacerbating a national housing crisis” is akin to the mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson saying that carjacking is the fault of the car manufacturers. Both represent an inversion of reality and a purposeful misdirection of accountability.
Social and community context has come down to the anarchy caused by the invasion of our southern border, flooding America with hordes of economic opportunists, felons, child predators, sex-trafficked children, the sick and unhealthy, and drugs like fentanyl that have already killed many. How does overwhelming America’s social systems make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
Social and community context has also come down to injustice: Soros-bought AGs releasing criminals back onto the street without prosecution, the Democrat party arresting political opponents, and stolen elections – all supported by a bought-and-paid-for media. How does this make for Healthy People 2030? By imposing more of the same?
As for me . . .
I don’t need or want more of the same. I don’t need or want the CDC or a government public health dept. or a globalist organization, for that matter, to tell me how to live as Healthy People 2030. The people of these organizations think you and I are sheep without a shepherd. I am not a lost sheep. Are you? Give me good non-scientism (apolitical) info and I’ll decide what to do.
If they ask me why I am healthy here’s what I would say:
Economic stability: I built my own economic stability with hard work, good choices, and faith in God.
Education access and quality: I am self-taught. I read and research. That has provided me with a quality education. I was able to earn 6-figures in an engineering field without a college degree (or DEI). I applied myself.
Health care access and quality: I go to the doctor for a yearly check up and blood test to check vitals. I pay the bill. I don’t look to TV or the CDC or to a public health dept. for my health recommendations or practices. I research and take care of myself.
I take lots of vitamin D and other vitamins, eat good food, exercise, take walks, go to church, listen to classical music, and pray. I keep Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin handy. I have never taken a vaccine.
Neighborhood and built environment: I’ve moved to where there are fewer Democrats. An area with Net-Zero Democrats would be great.
Social and community context: I moved out of the Chicago area a year ago to a community that, owing to civic pride among other virtues, respects others and other’s property.
Alive and well:
I am 70+ years old. I have never taken a flu vaccine, a COVID vaccine or had any vaccination since my mother took me to the doctor before I entered kindergarten back in the 50s.
I have never worn a mask except for five minutes to vote in the 2020 Presidential election (which was stolen by COVIDIAN Democrats).
I stayed away from stores, restaurants, churches, etc. that had mask and social distance requirements. For most people, freedom is choice. And freedom with good choices makes for Healthy People.

Healthy People 2030 includes 359 core — or measurable — objectives as well as developmental and research objectives.
Man is born free and everywhere he is chains of public health treaties:
“The 2005 International Health Regulations (Agreement) signed by all of the world’s countries, provided that in the event of a declared global pandemic, all human, constitutional, and charter rights guaranteed by each country were to be suspended with the World Health Organization in control of the solution. This legal framework was set into motion in March 2020 when the WHO declared a global pandemic.”

By declaring health as one of the fundamental rights of every human, they have turned over our health to government oversight! What are considered adequate health and social measures? We will soon find out.

Be prepared. Be very prepared. The days of government-sponsored terror are here again. All heads on deck.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. More of the same (“pandemic” response ’20, ’21, ’22) and Healthy People 2030 will be imposed on us. Say “NO!” to all of it.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Crisis propaganda will be used again and again in the media to foment fear.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. The media’s paid-for and proposed answer to fear will be to trust the talking heads of the CDC and public health departments, vaccines, boosters, and “the science”.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Outsider public health control of our personal health looks benign on the surface BUT understand – the impetus is to obtain more power and control over the individual. What began to take place in March of 2020 should be a clarion wakeup call. The 2005 International Health Regulations (Agreement) is nothing but a license to control you and me. See the world conquest programs of the WHO and WEF. The loss of buying power is another way to control people. And so are surveillance drones.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Do not comply with mask mandates when they are foisted on you, your children or as a passenger of planes and public transportation.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Depopulation and Degrowth are rising movements within the COVID, Climate and Capitalism Alarmist groups. Don’t be depopulated or degrown by any means, including submitting to vaccines.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. 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.
Be prepared. Be very prepared. Be ahead of the curve with your health and knowledge. Here are some treatment resources and information:

“With this vignette, I can tell you as a doctor I will refuse to sit in lockdown and wait for a vaccine. In 2020, Kortepeter et al published a paper highlighting potential treatments and future vaccines. Not mentioned is hydroxychloroquine which other papers have proposed as being a useful first empiric approach. Among the immediately available products in the world to consider that are known to be safe—would be hydroxychloroquine and favipiravir, a Japanese antiviral used for influenza and COVID-19. The other strategies shown in table are futuristic genetic agents or products with unacceptable toxicity such as remdesivir. Early therapeutics and high-quality supportive care which is commonly not available in poor African countries hold the promise to reduce mortality for this sporadic illness.”
