Daylight on the Garden of Good and Evil

In the early chapters of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, we are introduced to the winsome character Stiva Oblonsky. With a smile and self-possessed mannerisms, he draws the attention and affections of many. He comes across as likeable, amiable and nothing out of the ordinary – as one of us. Yet, the first thing we read is that Stiva has thrown his household into chaos.

We immediately learn that he has been unfaithful to his wife, Dolly. He’s had an affair with their children’s former governess. We go on to learn that Stiva is remorseful of the exposure of the affair but has not one iota of remorse about what he has done: “He repented only that he had not done a better job of concealing this fact from his wife.”

When confronted by a note exposing his adultery, Stiva worried more about his response than about the hurt he caused his wife. The narrator gives us insight into that moment:

“Instead of taking offense, disavowing it, justifying himself, begging forgiveness, even feigning indifference – anything would have been better than what he did do! – his face, quite involuntarily (“the reflexes of the brain,” thought Stepan Arkadyevich, who was fond of physiology), suddenly, and quite involuntarily, broke into his usual good-nature, and thus foolish, smile.”

Stiva passes the blame for the mess he’s in: “That foolish smile of mine is to blame for everything”. It is his smile that first endeared him to Dolly. And now, as a response that appears to mock remorse, the smile allows Dolly to begin to see what lies behind Stiva’s beguiling demeanor.

Stiva’s evil is not the blatant action-taking evil. History has a record of such people. Rather, it is the absence of good. Stiva forgets, neglects, and fails to act. We get a sense of this in Part III, chap. 7:

“No matter how hard Stepan Arkadyevich (Stiva) tried to be a concerned father and husband, he never could remember that he had a wife and children.”

Remembering is unresolved grief. It’s not for a committed hedonist such as Stiva. He would never embrace suffering. And remembering brings guilt and guilt is suffering, so he is willing to tolerate a sense of sin to get on with life. Life’s unpleasantries are a bother. His forgetfulness is achieved with a smile and social acceptance. Stiva “was the familiar friend of everyone with whom he took a glass of champagne, and he took a glass of champagne with everyone”.

Behind Stiva’s good-natured smile is what Tolstoy described as “the liberalism of the blood”.  Stiva fostered an easy-going liberal mindset:

“Stepan Arkadyevitch took and read a liberal newspaper, not a radical one, but one advocating the viewpoint maintained by the majority. And even though neither science, nor art or politics held any particular interest for him, he firmly maintained the same views on all these subjects that were maintained by the majority and by his paper, and he changed them only when the majority changed them, or, better put, he did not change them at all; they imperceptibly changed within him . . .

“And so liberalism had become a habit of Stepan Arkadyevitch’s, and he liked his newspaper, as he did his cigar after dinner, for the slight fog it diffused in his brain.”

Reading further, we find Tolstoy contrasting the ordinariness of self-giving love, as expressed by Dolly, with the ordinariness of Stiva’s self-satisfying evil, expressed without ill-will or bitterness. Making waves would disrupt his complacency and the slight fog diffused in his brain.

For many years I’ve enjoyed reading Russian literature. Russian history has veered toward extremes – totalitarianism and atheism produced by the intelligentsia aka politically connected radical socialist atheists. Russian literature offers a window into the life and times of Russia, its people, and the thinking that led to so much suffering.

Realism abounds in the works of Solzhenitsyn, Chekhov, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. Ultimate questions and meaning of life issues are openly dealt with. No AI. No BLM, CRT, LGBTQ, pandering, no Wokey-dokey or playing with pronouns. Just serious adult things.

With Anna Karenina Tolstoy portrays prosaic good and evil, self-deception, and the nature of love – the seemingly fate-occurring dramatic love of romance vs. the committed non-trumpeting prosaic love that does good, i.e., cares for the family. With more than a dozen major characters and around 800 pages, the novel fleshes out the first line: “All happy families resemble one another; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

Once you read Anna, I think you’ll find that Tolstoy’s characters, including the absence-of-good Stiva, are not unique. You may find yourself in their stories and perhaps the impetus for change.

*****

Consider that Stiva is the first transhumanist. Look at his utter acquiescence to whatever is printed and accepted by the majority. And look at his attitude– cooly dispassionate and compliant. He’s a non-entity with a pasted-on smile.

I coined the term “pornservatives” to describe the type of person who on paper or in person looks like a good old-fashioned red-state conservative, but in practice is living a morally dubious lifestyle antithetical to anything that resembles “conservatism” or “trad” values.

Tell me, where is the wisdom when you promote experimental COVID vaccines and refuse to promote safe, effective, and cheap repurposed drugs? (REPORT) US heath officials hid urgent recommendation to use ivermectin for Covid | Sharyl Attkisson

“So [the effect of the COVID vaccine] is negative, and that continues. The magnitude of that negativity increases over time. What does that mean, folks? It literally means that the people who received that vaccine were more likely to contract COVID-19 after seven months than the people who did not. That is a fact, has the CDC or FDA ever said a word about that? No.”

Tell me, where is the wisdom of financially befitting – with tax-payer dollars –  NGOs like Catholic Charities who are doing the bidding of godless globalists under the pretense of Christian charity? Such groups aid and abet illegal border crossings which undoubtedly involve the trafficking of children, of criminals and of fentanyl? Such involvement serves to dilute and weaken the U.S. with an America hating Progressive/Globalist agenda.

Tell me, where is the wisdom when you employ out-of-control spending and money printing that leads to expected out-of-control consequences such as inflation and devaluation of the dollar?

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) has been embraced by progressives, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who see MMT as the means for increased government spending that could help finance initiatives such as the Green New Deal policy on climate change and, of course, buy votes.

MMT says that a government can basically blow as much money as it wants to boost its economy as long as that government borrows in its own currency because it can always just print more money. This allows the government plenty of room for free spending without forcing it to raise taxes. It also means it would be impossible for that government to default on its debts.

“The central idea of MMT is that governments with a fiat currency system under their control can and should print (or create with a few keystrokes in today’s digital age) as much money as they need to spend because they cannot go broke or be insolvent unless a political decision to do so is taken.”Modern Monetary Theory (MMT): Definition, History, and Principles (investopedia.com)

“According to MMT, the only limit that the government has when it comes to spending is the availability of real resources, like workers, construction supplies, etc. When government spending is too great with respect to the resources available, inflation can surge if decision-makers are not careful. (Emphasis mine)

The Failure of MMT Is Now Evident (noqreport.com)

And so it is the political decision of Democrats and Globalists to leave the southern border wide open for the infusion into the economy of low-cost workers to help finance MMT spending for such progressive legislation as universal healthcare and other public programs for which governments claim to not have enough money to fund:

During the past 25 years, low interest rates and highly expansionary monetary policy with little apparent inflation have created the illusion that a government can simply print money to fund exorbitant deficit spending with no repercussions. This core tenet of so-called “modern monetary theory” ignores the fact that deficit spending is constrained in the long run by a government’s ability to satisfy creditors. (Emphasis mine)

HB1407 is the bill we emailed you about a few weeks ago that protects parents’ rights to direct the care and upbringing, education, health care, and mental health of their minor children. The bill passed through the House at the end of February, but with concerns held by a few judges. The bill’s author, Rep. Dale DeVon, advocated hard for the bill on the House floor and thankfully, the bill passed through to the Senate.

Sadly, several groups are trying to kill this important piece of legislation, despite Rep. DeVon’s assurances that the judges who have reservations would be able to testify in the Senate committee, as well as his vow to work with them on amendments that would resolve their concerns.

Digitalization: The Spirit of the Age

“Community digitalization holds unprecedented promise. The tools, values, and organizational paradigms that constitute and follow from digitalization enable human enterprise to be organized better, differently.” 

“The promise of digitalization won’t be realized automatically; it will require a massive collaboration across societal stakeholders.”

Bas Boorsma, quoted above, offers the promise of a better tomorrow by fostering digital enablement of our communities. His words can be found on a Thunderbird School of Global Management webpage.

There, Boorsma, professor of practice and author of the revised and well-intentioned New Digital Deal: Beyond Smart Cities. How to Best Leverage Digitalization for the Benefit of our Communities tells us that if we were “to focus on collaboration, strategy, and vision – and forge the rudiments of a New Digital Deal” it would “help us mitigate the current [COVID] crisis as well as the ones that will follow, and to ensure the societal resilience and well-being of tomorrow.”

Elsewhere, Boorsma specs out 20 Building Blocks of Successful Community Digitalization with an imperative that “Connectivity, solutions, architectures, cyber security and data need to be managed comprehensively in order for a community to not end up stuck in silos and to be sufficiently future ready” .

Looking past the “unprecedented promise” of community digitization and “the Art of Connecting Everything” to the implications for end users, would community digitalization be a blessing or a bane?

What “values and organizational paradigms” would follow from digitalization? Do they come from the collaborative “societal stakeholders”? Would “human enterprise be organized better, differently” via community digitalization? By whose standard?

What power does community digitalization give to collaborative “societal stakeholders”? Could such power corrupt them? Could absolute community digitalization corrupt them absolutely? If none of these inquiries concern you, these questions should at least alert the reader to the specter of technological control not only of public space but also of private space. This is the agenda of the technocrats and stakeholders of the World Economic Forum and their Great Reset.

One would expect a School of Global Management to promote a unified theory of world digitization. One would also expect such a school to concern itself with making sure that the world in crisis mode can count on digital technology that is not compromised by digital divides and digital disruptions.

From the webpage:

Digitalization (also called digitization) has become increasingly important through the COVID-19 pandemic as people rely even more heavily on digital technologies to stay connected, informed, and safe. The pandemic has also highlighted how vulnerable many systems are across society. Even in wealthy nations like the US, many communities, governments, hospitals, and schools were underprepared to leverage technology to deal with the pandemic.

From an end user perspective, during the aforementioned “crisis” you and I were locked down and forced to rely on digital devices to relate to the world. Along with communities, governments, hospitals, and schools, we received orders and instructions from the commissars of COVID scientism. Crisis-leveraged communication technology was well-prepared to disseminate societal divides and disruptions.

Federal and state mandates fragmented communities, decoupling associations within work, church, family and the neighborhood. People were driven to their devices – to community digitalization – wherein the focus was on one small thing – COVID. With one voice, mass communication platforms via digital technology delivered constant fear porn and repeated promptings.

End users were coached to fear COVID with words like “deadly virus” and “pandemic”. They were lectured over and over to fear alternative voices and alternative medicines and to cling to the state and pharma-sponsored authorities. To sustain fear, the media deployed data gathered from pan-digital sources. COVID case numbers and deaths were posted in the corner of a news screen and dribbled across chyrons. COVID commissars, obsessed with party loyalty, supplied the media with repeated promptings and slogans such as “Flatten the curve” “We’re in this together” “Get the vaccination” “Wear a mask”.

With one voice, mass communication platforms via digitalization delivered mass formation psychosis to the end user.

 . . . the corona crisis was primarily a psycho-social phenomenon that marked the transition to a technocratic system, a system in which the government would attempt to claim decision-making rights over its citizens and, step by step, take control of all private space.  -Professor Dr. Mattias Desmet  The Psychology of Totalitarianism 

Humiliations galore! That and more are the implications of community digitalization made manifest during the recent “crisis”.

We learned of the push toward technological tracking and tracing of populations. Of digital vaccine passports. And of the digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record (DCVR). You save it on your phone and use it as proof of vaccination wherever you go.

Consider the coming digitized social credit score, a social ranking generated via social media databases. Data showing your will to conform to the globalist directives will determine whether you are in or out of the stakeholder society. An algorithm, not personal knowledge, will determine whether you are ‘worthy’ of access to a host of things and even worthy of buying a car, a home and even groceries.

In tandem with a digital credit score, digital currency will replace anonymous cash. The Biden regime is already moving in that direction. Community digitization will make it possible for societal stakeholders to know your every purchase along with monitoring and censuring “unacceptable” speech and behavior.

Digitization, via apps, AI, smart devices, cameras, and satellites, will monitor and control finances, spending, energy use, vaccine status, and conversations. End users will be monitored night and day.

One can expect a swarm of digital “influencers” – decimators of globalist propaganda.

One can expect more stolen elections where machines are involved.

One can expect the “everything” app from transhumanism accelerant Elon Musk.

One can be expected to be treated like data, like a stream of bits needing to be directed, and not as a human. Dehumanization is a product of digitization. The digital world is flippant and shallow and without regard for the human using it. I don’t want a digital ID and a relationship with another digital ID. I don’t want simulated reality.

One can expect the relationship of parents and children to be further separated by digital technology.

If digitization is omnipresent and technology is leveraged, what do you think the World Economic Forum dominionists will do with One World community digitalization? One can readily see, based on the recent COVID mass formation experience, that digital communication systems are able to focus worldwide attention on a manufactured “crisis”. And with each “crisis”, social engineering of the “you-have-no-choice” totalitarian order follows.

Climate change is the crisis du jour. This “crisis” is being leveraged through digital communications. End users are being forced to make sacrifices for a green agenda meant to stave off a climate crisis that many scientists say doesn’t even exist. The green agenda is bringing about a global recession and famine.

Keep in mind that the same people who want to digitize your life want to track your every move – on the web and physically. They want to monitor your purchases, your thoughts, and your associations which might lead to pre-crime. Show them the man and they’ll show you the crime.

Keep in mind these same people also promote lock downs, vaccine passports, open borders, abortions, bail-less release of criminals, antifa, BLM, gender confusion, homosexuality, CRT, queer theory and redistribution.

With total interconnectivity, end users can expect total subjugation to the spirit of the age. Think Big Brother and the Ministry of Truth and Ministry of Love as depicted in Orwell’s 1984. End users can also expect to be subjected to evil machinations akin to organizations such as N.I.C.E. depicted in C.S. Lewis’ That Hideous Strength.

As for me and my devices, we will not follow the spirit of the age. We are already well-connected.

And the Searcher of Hearts knows what the spirit is thinking, because the spirit pleads for God’s people according to God’s will. – the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Roman church 8:27

*****

Ah, the promise of a better tomorrow with a New Digital Deal today. Where have I heard of a New Deal before? Oh yes. It was involved in mitigating another crisis, a crisis created and sustained by the government – the Great Depression. (Download Great Myths of the Great Depression pdf below for an overview of the causes of the Great Depression which include the government’s disastrous manipulation of the money supply via Keynesian economic theory and its terrible interventionist policies.

The Time Has Arrived

In a recent post remembering Queen Elizabeth II, I asked “Please let me know if you know of any other such female public figure today.”  Queen Elizabeth II symbolized the good, the stalwart, the faithful. She was a touchstone for basic human decency, for her country, and for the Christian faith.

At her Coronation in 1953, The Queen was anointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. She took an oath to “maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England”.

Though she was the head of the Church of England, Queen Elizabeth acted and spoke with secular common sense.

Has another formative and no-nonsense woman come on the scene? Apparently. The Leftist media thinks so and is terrified. The media, with one voice, labels her “far right”, “fascist”, “Mussolini”.

This woman, Italy’s first female prime minster, speaks in clarion terms of the family, of preserving the good, of basic human decency, and of Italy-centered nationalism. She doesn’t speak globalist gobbledygook. She speaks in human terms and with secular common sense.

In order to bring about “One Health”, WHO makes a pact with many nation states. WHO goaded them with “A pandemic’s a pandemic, no matter how small”. But the citizens of Freeville want nothing to do with WHO – “No, nothing at all”.

“To a WHO with a needle, everything looks like a pandemic” Freeville citizens say to themselves. They refuse to join the collective One Health World Order. They want to remain citizens of Freeville. So, they make as much noise as they can so that their voices can be heard. WHO creatures respond.

Biden, commander-in-chief jackass, listens only to WHO and ignores the cries of the citizens of Freeville. He said that he would kick the mayor of Freeville in the teeth if he didn’t join the collective. And the other animals who are in cahoots with WHO are furious that the citizens of Freeville do not want to join their collective. They protest. “Why should they remain free and their contagion affect us?”

Wild asses threaten to kick up a storm in Freeville. Donkeys say they will bray loudly in Freeville so as to drown out the voices of its citizens. And rhinos make it a point to needle them until they give in.

The mayor of Freeville, a rhino himself, is very, very afraid of what might happen. He wants to join the collective. But the citizens of Freeville with one loud shout say “NO!”

Now, I wish I could tell you that Biden Hears a WHO! ends well for the citizens of Freeville. Alas, the spectacular citizens of Freeville are forced into the “One Health” collective. They lose Freeville and their citizenship to WHO and say with all their might “A human right’s a human right, no matter how small”.

The WHO To Discuss Global Pandemic Treaty At World Health Assembly May 22-28 (forbes.com)

“The global pandemic response had relatively little coordination, little unity . . .

In a commentary published in The Lancet on May 16, a team of authors, most of whom are from the U.K., wrote that “the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted profound weaknesses in the global governance of health; inadequate preparation, coordination, and accountability hampered the collective response of nations at each stage.” They asserted that “Changes to the global health architecture are necessary to mitigate the health and socioeconomic damage of the ongoing pandemic, and to prepare for the next major global threat to health.” They indicated that “success will require clear demarcations of responsibility with a parsimonious role for international institutions. Although a pandemic treaty or alternative new instrument or process cannot solve all that is wrong with global health, it can deliver targeted improvements if supported by effective and clear global governance.” (Emphasis mine)

In my opinion, based on currently available information, Monkeypox is a virus and disease which is endemic in Africa, emerges sporadically after transmission into humans from animal hosts, and is typically spread by close human contact. It is readily controlled by classical public health measures. It does not have a high mortality rate. Unless there has been some genetic alteration, either through evolution or intentional genetic manipulation, it is not a significant biothreat, and has never been considered a high threat pathogen in the past. -Dr. Robert Malone

Unfair for the Common Man

A dictionary defines “workaround” as a strategy or technique used to circumvent a defect or other problem in a program or system. Applied to politics, workaround describes a solution to a problem that bypasses the normal or established process which is considered to be obstacle to a desired outcome.

Progressives, with their aversion to the normative and Western tradition, see the Constitution, Christianity and common sense as problems that require workaround solutions. So, a strategy of the-ends-justify-the-means is employed by Progressives to produce a desired outcome – “Change we can believe in”. 

These outcomes are often generalized and peddled with high-sounding platitudes: to save the planet, to ensure public health and public safety, to bring about social justice with diversity, equality, and inclusion.

The Left’s workaround solutions invariably involve forcing functions – a process or constraint that coerces a certain outcome. The Left’s outcome skews normal off course never to return.

The Obamacare individual mandate was justified using the Constitution’s commerce clause as workaround. The court decided that any decision to not to act related to commerce is an act and a person can be therefore required to do what the government says you must do. Wow.

The Left’s most in-your-face work around and forcing function: the stolen presidential election.

Joe Biden, once his junta took over the office of president, shut down oil and gas lease sales from the nation’s vast public lands and waters. The decision, based on computer models of climate cost estimates and not on reality and certainly not on the needs of Americans, ended America’s energy independence. And this after the economy was shut down with despotic COVID mandates.

Americans – everyday folk driving to work to feed their family, low-income families struggling to make ends meet, supply-line truckers requiring diesel fuel to deliver goods –  are now forced to pay for oil, gasoline and diesel fuel at record high prices. (Heh, heh. That will teach Americans to stop using fossil fuels!)

By comparison, Americans were energy independent, working and flourishing under the previous “Orange man bad” administration. Now, Americans of all color, gender and creed are suffering high inflation, food shortages, diesel shortages, price hikes, baby food shortages, the ignominy of the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, a southern border overrun by who knows what, and the stiff-armed indifference of a globalist agenda under an illegitimate president. Forced upon Americans is the inept Joe Biden intent on surrendering America to globalism by whatever means necessary including the Great Reset.

Work arounds have been used by the Progressives all along to produce the outcomes they so desire – sweeping, overly broad power for the actualization of their elitist utopian dreams.

A crisis provides the opportunity for workarounds. A crisis of late has Progressives plotting a way to keep their beloved workaround– the killing off of offspring at will – in place.

Fearing SCOTUS overturning a ruling of the unconstitutional declaration of Roe v Wade – that a woman has a Constitutional right to abortion – Democrats recently talked of packing the court. Not so recently, President Roosevelt, frustrated with the Supreme Court, talked about the same work around.

When Roosevelt-directed laws of the New Deal program had been struck down by unanimous and near-unanimous SCOTUS votes, he talked about adding justices to the court. That did not happen thankfully.

But Roosevelt did expand the size and scope of the U.S. government and its role in the economy. The expansion has continued and its Leviathan tentacles workaround to reach into our daily lives and even into our bodies.

In September 2021, the Biden regime directed the regulatory authority of the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to write a rule requiring employers with at least 100 workers to force employees to get vaccinated or produce weekly test results showing they are virus free.

OSHA fast-tracked and bypassed their rule making process using a type of peremptory decree called “emergency temporary standard”. The ETS is supposed to protect workers from a “grave danger” i.e., excuse of emergency to regulate first and explain later.

OSHA had never used this authority to mandate a vaccine of any kind. (And why did they not mandate highly effective protocols like Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin?)

January 2022, the Supreme Court blocked the enforcement of the sweeping Covid-vaccine mandate that would have impacted 84 million Americans. The majority concluded that Congress had not given OSHA such broad authority to enact a de facto vaccine mandate. While OSHA has the authority to regulate workplace safety, justices reasoned, in this case, it was attempting to use that authority to issue a sweeping rule to address a public-health issue in which the threat is not limited to the workplace.

In a previous Supreme court case, “a group of Alabama real estate agents asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to block a federal moratorium on evictions that was imposed because of the COVID-19 pandemic . . .

The Alabama Association of Realtors urged the Supreme Court to intervene on an emergency basis and lift that stay order, telling the justices that “Congress never gave the CDC the staggering amount of power it now claims.”

The staying opinion stated “We expect Congress to speak clearly when authorizing an agency to exercise powers of vast economic and political significance.”

Congress, our supposed representatives in our constitutional republic, are handing over to agencies – the “administrative state” – overly broad powers.  (This is likely done by our reps so as to distance themselves from their henchman.) If our courts were to adopt a posture of utter deference to claims of emergency, they’d leave OSHA and the “administrative state” in a position to order around the nation by diktat. (See 2021-2022)

The latest work around is incredibly alarming and a call to action!

The latest work around is a threat to the sovereignty and sanctity of your body!

Congress, our court system, our nation’s sovereignty and our own health choices will be circumvented by the Globalist World Health Organization (WHO). Globalists – driven by the will to power to control everything and everyone like the machinations of an evil villain in a James Bond movie – want world domination. They will start with control of your body.

You see, the Globalist One World Order considers you to be their property to do with as it will to save the planet, to bring about world peace, and blah, blah, blah.

The Biden Regime is handing over our nation’s sovereignty as you read this post. Like all evil, it is happening in the shadows. You won’t hear about this in the subservient media.

The following is from the article #StopTheWHO: How You Can Take a Stand Against International Health Regulation Amendments

Key Issues to Understand

On January 18 2022, the United States Department of Health and Human Services proposed amendments to the IHR. These amendments give control over the declaration of a public health emergency in any member state to the WHO Director-General – even over the objection of the member state. The Director-General communicated the text of the proposed amendments on 20 January 2022, via a circular letter to State Parties.

The proposed IHR amendments also cede control to WHO “regional directors,” who are given the authority to declare a Public Health Emergency of Regional Concern (PHERC). Moreover, the proposed amendments allow the Director-General to ring an international alarm bell, by unilaterally issuing an “Intermediate Public Health Alert (IPHA).”

Properly understood, the proposed IHR amendments are directed towards establishing a globalist architecture of worldwide health surveillance, reporting, and management. Consistent with a top-down view of governance, the public will not have opportunities to provide input or criticism concerning the amendments. This, of course, is a direct violation of the basic tenets of democracy and can be compared to the separate new pandemic treaty. (Emphasis mine.)

Do you understand? A public health emergency may be a virus or climate or gun ownership or your opinion. . . anything that Globalists conjure up. You thought the last 2+ years were bad under the “public health emergency” workaround diktats? Just imagine if the World Health Organization (which serves the interests of Globalists and the CCP) is given the authority to run our lives! Do you have any idea how people are treated in China? Communism is a workaround forcing function of humanity done not for the sake of the common man but for the sake of adherence to the few.

“When I say that evil has to do with killing, I do not mean to restrict myself to corporeal murder. Evil is that which kills spirit. There are various essential attributes of life — particularly human life — such as sentience, mobility, awareness, growth, autonomy, will. It is possible to kill or attempt to kill one of these attributes without actually destroying the body. Thus we may “break” a horse or even a child without harming a hair on its head.

Erich Fromm was acutely sensitive to this fact when he broadened the definition of necrophilia to include the desire of certain people to control others-to make them controllable, to foster their dependency, to discourage their capacity to think for themselves, to diminish their unpredectibility and originalty, to keep them in line. Distinguishing it from a “biophilic” person, one who appreciates and fosters the variety of life forms and the uniqueness of the individual, he demonstrated a “necrophilic character type,” whose aim it is to avoid the inconvenience of life by transforming others into obedient automatons, robbing them of their humanity.

Evil then, for the moment, is the force, residing either inside or outside of human beings, that seeks to kill life or liveliness. And goodness is its opposite. Goodness is that which promotes life and liveliness.”
― M. Scott Peck, People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil

The Great Beset

Over the river and through the woods

To New World Order we go.

Globalists know the way

To impose their sway

Through despotic control

Inclusivity, sustainability, resiliency — these are all terms that Schwab himself used when he declared in June, 2020, “Now is the time for a great reset.”

If I told you that there are bad actors who want to take over the world, you might shrug me off as someone who has watched too many James Bond movies. Well, the SPECTRE of something wicked this way comes.

There are movers and shakers toil and trouble makers who want to make a name for themselves and have a towering influence over you. The following (italicized) quotes are from the World Economic Forum Website

There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative.

Who are the global stakeholders? They are not you or me. We are the ants in the WEF ant farm. The global stakeholders are those with the most influence – “top innovators, market shapers, disruptors, . . .”.

And from the WEF websiteForum Members are a key group of business stakeholders that engage in public-private cooperation with academics, government and civil society to improve the state of the world.

Forum Members are those who come to say “How did I live without the world economic forum?” Just take a look. And, here is one of WEF’s propaganda videos: DAVOS 2020: MAKING A FAIRER WORLD

You and I will not be involved in global stakeholder top-down decision making. Those aligning themselves with the World Economic Forum do NOT care about Democracy, vox populi, and sovereign nations. The WEF stakeholders deem themselves sovereign, in the order of a Lenin or a Mao. The global stakeholders will ‘represent’ the working class with totalitarian dictatorship, political repression and eventually mass killing. You have to break eggs in order to improve the state of the world!

Are you OK with a group of godless elitists deciding what is fair, just and equitable? Are you OK with their free-floating morality that says “my body my choice” for abortions but not for vaccines, that bans travel from Africa but doesn’t ban COVID-carrying illegal immigrants traveling across the southern border, that says “you must wear a mask in restaurants” but I don’t have to when I eat at the French Laundry, that says your carbon footprint must be reduced but we use ours for the good of the world at COP26?

Are you OK with a one-size-fits-all-except-for elites vision for the world?

Consider that global stakeholders are forcing a narrative of a COVID crisis and a vaccine solution onto the world population. Sickness is profitable and health is not.

“. . . the inoculation of people with an experimental genic serum that provokes a weakening of our natural immune system represents a very grave crime, because it turns ordinary healthy people into chronically ill people, and consequently into customers of the health care companies and private care. This situation hugely inflates the profits of the globalist élite and brings a general impoverishment of the population.” Archbishop Vigamo

Have you ever heard Saint Fauci say that the best way to build your immunity and to fend off COVID is to take Vitamins C and D, Zinc, and Quercetin, to lose weight, to exercise . . . and use HCQ or Ivermectin for early treatment. No. Saint Fauci is a global stakeholder in SWEFTRE. He wants you to focus all your attention on the globalist’s Big Pharma solution and learn to not think for yourself at all.

Consider that inept Pete Buttigieg, the Biden regime’s secretary of transportation and supply chain disrupter, is an example of the Peter Principle and Build Back Better. The cackling V.P. Kamala Harris, is another example. The Biden Build Back Better regime is rife with incompetence. And it appears that when you are incompetent you double down on “being right” and hope for a different outcome. This has been true of Democrat mayors and Governors.

Are you OK with a group of godless elitists deciding what is fair, just and equitable?

Do you want to repeat what collectivist/communist Russia, China and other godless totalitarian countries have done to its people in the name of fairness, justice and equity?

Does anyone think that by repeating the same evil over and over again that good will eventually be produced? Clearly, Progressives think this way.

It is the Progressives who are urgently needed by WEF to cooperate in managing the direct consequences of the (manufactured) COVID-19 crisis. They are the ones recruited to take part in world domination. WEF is using a template similar to that of Spectre: launch an international surveillance network to mastermind authoritarian control across the globe.

For purposes of this post, let’s call WEF’s “collective and collaborative” global fascist association SWEFTRE or Special Economic World Forum for Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Their mastermind is the “Strong Man” (See the Gospel of Mark 3:27).

What does improve the state of the world mean? From the evidence of the past 20 months, it means exhausting and exploiting mankind with financial and social upheaval to a point of surrender to the global criminal organization’s power.

More from the World Economic Forum website . . .

The Context

The Covid-19 crisis, and the political, economic and social disruptions it has caused, is fundamentally changing the traditional context for decision-making. The inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems –from health and financial to energy and education – are more exposed than ever amidst a global context of concern for lives, livelihoods and the planet. Leaders find themselves at a historic crossroads, managing short-term pressures against medium- and long-term uncertainties.

Friends, it is the stakeholder disrupters of SWEFTRE and their “fundamental transformation” decision-making imposed on us that has caused the political, economic and social disruptions, NOT COVID-19. SWEFTRE stakeholders now mantra us that Build Back Better will fix the inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems.

Don’t the inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems –from health and financial to energy and education represent, represent freedom of individual response – human agency – to SWEFTRE disruptions? And when people have a choice, don’t they choose to fix inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions on their own?

To SWEFTRE, individual agency is source of the short-term pressure and medium- and long-term uncertainties. Humans are the problem. So, the need for fundamentally changing the traditional context for decision-making means “flattening the curve” of human agency with a hammer and sickle.

Our ‘empathetic’ benefactors at SWEFTRE want us to buy into the notion that they are fundamentally transforming the world (i.e., removing your God-given rights, your choice and humanity, and subjecting you to their world order) amidst a global context of concern for lives, livelihoods and the planet.

The Opportunity

As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being.

Note: window of opportunity = “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” – Rahm Emanuel

. . . this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons.

Translation: Forget God. Forget the kingdom of God. Forget be fruitful and multiply. We at the WEF are the real deal. You have our Build Back Better happy talk and pictures of us shaking hands. We have a wonderful plan for your life!

The tentacles of SWEFTRE will reach everywhere and everyone.

Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being.

Translation: The godless few will tell the many how to live as serfs off their largesse. The Great Reset’s new social contract will force us into a bondage and indentured servitude not different from slavery.

They will shackle us with a digital Vaxx Passports and Social Credit Scoring. Businesses will be forced to serve the tenets of Woke religion: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). Your employer will use the word “behavior” in your performance reviews.

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Fed Vax Database and social credit scoring are comin’ to town

They’re making a list
And checking it twice;
They’re gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
Fed Vax Database and social credit scoring are comin’ to town

The State media is in cahoots with SWEFTRE, the source of its revenue stream. As such, the media diverts attention away from the globalist’s methods by fostering Trump, COVID-19 and Climate Change derangement syndromes. The state media is all in on vaccines, vaccine mandates and vaxx passports. The state media is all in on controlling the narrative of your life. Next up for the state media?

In establishing a great narrative, SWEFTRE is looking to assert an authoritative storyline to convince people why they need a great reset of society and the global economy.

“The Great Narrative Initiative [is] a collaborative effort of the world’s leading thinkers to fashion longer-term perspectives and co-create a narrative that can help guide the creation of a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable vision for our collective future” — World Economic Forum, 2021

World Economic Forum to Launch ‘Great Narrative’ Initiative Following the Great Reset – Business Game Changers (sarahwestall.com)

Our collective future? Yikes! SWEFTRE wants Communism 2022. This time will be different, of course. This time around there are top innovators, market shapers, disruptors and a key group of business stakeholders that engage in public-private cooperation with academics, government and civil society to improve the state of the world. Feel better now?  This time it’s world communism for the creation of a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable vision for our collective future.

BUT, if you don’t agree with the Great Narrative and the collective, you will be banished to a gulag. If you don’t agree with universal mandates and having your behavior monitored and your bank and vaccine accounts monitored and receiving DEI and CRT training, and having your healthcare come from the WHO, you will be banished to a gulag. Communists do not handle dissent very well. Read Gulag Archipelago.

You have to break eggs in order to improve the state of the world!

Like its predecessor the COVID narrative (masking, isolation and the jab), the Great Narrative is meant to replace a social bond with a digital bond. You and I are to be bonded not with each other but to what SWEFTRE dispatches through digital means including the nanoparticle in vaccines. Good luck trying to dodge the bio-bullets.

What’s true in the Kingdom of God is true for its worldly knockoff:
“If you have something, you’ll be given more; but if you have nothing, even what you have will be taken away.” (Mark 4:25)

Jesus spoke openly of gaining the mysteries of the kingdom of God, including losing one’s life to save it.

In the knockoff world of the kingdom of globalists there is hush-hush wink-of-the-eye talk about gaining power and possessions. If you die to save the world, from say a climate catastrophe, the better they look.

The Great Narrative from the father of lies is meant to supersede the Kingdom of God narrative announced by Jesus:

After John’s arrest, Jesus came into Galilee announcing God’s good news.

“The time is fulfilled!’ he said. “God’s kingdom is arriving! Turn back and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:14-15)

For the life of me, I cannot understand why churches are embracing the mandates and going along the globalist narratives. Mandates are not law and, more importantly, no Christian should obey immoral and unjust laws. Just because the words “health” and “science” are used to predicate mandates do not make the mandates moral and just. No government entity shall tell me what to do with my body, the Temple of God.

And why are churches conforming to a Progressive worldview? Is it to look empathetic? Why did the psalmist write “Let sinners be consumed from the earth and the wicked be no more”? Does church leadership think that the “wicked” are a thing of the past? What is going on with the WEF and the Great Reset is wicked. It is the spirit of the anti-Christ.

And, why are churches not preparing congregations for what is coming? Why are they still telling Bible stories and building buildings and acting like if they just go along then things will go back to normal? There will be no more normal. With this post and preceding ones I’ve given you glimpses into the agenda of the wicked. That agenda and the movers and shakers toil and trouble makers involved with it want nothing to do with God.

Pastor, priest and rabbi – this is not the time to feign normal to comfort your sheep. This is a time to get off the pew, get out from a safe space and confront the evil taking place. This is not the time hide behind a 501 C3 status. The Great Reset is upon us!

“A large number of our Christian leaders are persisting in acting as though the church is ministering during a placid time of transition, say, from the administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower to that of JFK, instead of where we actually are, which is at the stumbling, staggering, and drunken transition from Caligula to Claudius to Nero.” – anonymous source

It is time to reset: “Turn back and believe the good news!”

******

“The post-totalitarian system touches people at every step, but it does so with its ideological gloves on. This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the working class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his or her ultimate liberation; depriving people of information is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.” Vàclan Havel, The Power of the Powerless

“Mask Wearers of the World, Unite!”

“In everyone there is some willingness to merge with the anonymous crowd and to flow comfortably along with it down the river of pseudo-life. This is much more than a simple conflict between two identities. It is something far worse: it is a challenge to the very notion of identity itself.” ― Václav Havel

This past year-and-a half, did you “merge with the anonymous crowd” and “flow comfortably along with it down the river of pseudo-life”? Did you follow the flotilla of Pied pipers mesmerizing you with “the science”?

Did you socially distance, put on a mask, and have your business and office and church shut down? Did you believe that the PCR tests are accurate (Guess why there are so few cases of the flu reported)? Did you submit your body to be a lab experiment for the mRNA vaccines?

Did you go along with “the science” to get along? Did you go along with “the anonymous crowd” because, per the head mocker of the Biden regime, “if you’re not vaccinated, you’re not nearly as smart as I thought you were,”.

Do you now equate the loss of freedom and choice as a loss of your identity as a human? Or, are you still wanting “to flow comfortably along with it (the loss of your identity) down the river of pseudo-life”? Are you OK with diktats and lacking individual will? Are you OK supporting the automatism of a totalitarian system?

Now, you may say to me “it was out of fear of COVID that I persuaded myself to follow the mandates”, or, “It was out of fear of giving someone COVID that I submitted to the mandates’, or, “it was out of fear of litigation that I shut down my business, my church.”

Or, was it out of fear of thinking for yourself, acting individually, and rebuffing the diktats coming down from the bio-medical regime through the state media?

*****

The alignment of the power – globalists, oligarchs, techno-utopians, politicians, the media, the Pope, and the forces of evil – against the powerless has been the impetus for my dissenting posts over the past year and-a half. I have opposed the schizophrenic CDC guidelines. I have opposed authoritarian mandates. I have opposed tyranny – including medical tyranny. I have opposed the lies being fed us. I have opposed the sowing of fear. And, I will oppose the Great Reset mandates – from the powerful to the powerless – coming our way.

What is coming our way is a thousand times more tyrannical than what we’ve seen the past year. The “river of pseudo-life” will flow with blood. If my words have seemed harsh, critical and uncompassionate, if it appears that I am calling out people for their past behavior, then please understand. This post is meant to be a wakeup call. It is meant to shake you out of a COVID-induced paralysis to face the growing nightmare.

*****

As a nation, we didn’t start out stupefied and powerless. But over time we gave in to soft tyranny (Tocqueville). Out of fear, we have exchanged our freedom (and our identity) for false security.

Last century, for example, we accepted the New Deal and the tyranny of centralized planning – the welfare state and overreaching government. Wasn’t New Deal tyranny acceptance based on (economic) fear? Wasn’t New Deal tyranny acceptance also a “well-meaning” acceptance by the people?

Today, fearful and well-meaning people, have become OK with the hard-core tyranny of censorship. Those behind the Great Reset love these people. Behind the fascia of Build Back Better is (1984’s) Room 101:  Besmirch Bludgeon Begone.

As we have seen, much of the country has fallen prostrate before mandates and “guidelines” out of fear of a so-called “public-health crisis”. Yet, COVID19 is a variation of the common cold and has a recovery rate of over 99.8 % for most people. Early outpatient treatment is recommended.

The American Journal of Medicine now (Jan. 2021) now (finally!) recommends Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, and Zinc for the treatment of Covid 19 outpatients. Had this been the protocol used in Jan. 2020, many lives could have been saved. But the powerful – Anthony Fauci, the CDC, Francis Collins and the NIH, Bill Gates, and big pharma – had other plans for the American people.

There has also been fear of litigation if not abiding by the mandates and “guidelines”. Behind all the fear is the fear of disobeying the powerful alignment that stands against the powerless.

To assuage fears, there are those who have chosen to “merge with the anonymous crowd” and have chosen to live the (COVIDian) lies given them. They have chosen “to flow comfortably along with it down the river of pseudo-life”.

The COVIDian lies include the following:

Mask wearing is effective to stop the spread of COVID; not wearing a mask puts yourself and others at risk; children must wear a mask to school.

A group of physicians from Germany, Poland and Austria, concluded that the wearing of nose and mouth coverings by children leads to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in both inhaled and exhaled air while wearing a mask.

“We suggest that decision-makers weigh the hard evidence produced by these experimental measurements accordingly, which suggest that children should not be forced to wear face masks.”

Experimental Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Content in Inhaled Air With or Without Face Masks in Healthy Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial | Pediatrics | JAMA Pediatrics | JAMA Network)

Social distancing works to stop the spread of COVID; shutting down businesses and churches stops the spread of COVID.

(Idiotic. Distance yourself from the CDC.)

You need the vaccine to protect you from COVID. It is safe and effective.

You need the vaccine to protect yourself even if you have acquired immunity.

(The CDC and Big Pharma won’t talk about acquired immunity. They have a vaccine to sell.)

You need the vaccine to protect yourself. Other protocols don’t work.

You need the CDC to tell you how to think about COVID.

You need Vitamins C and D, the mineral Zinc, exercise, sunshine and a good CDC-free doctor.

Do you realize that you now spend every waking hour thinking about what government wants and how it effects your freedom?

*****

December, 1989. Václav Havel was elected president of Czechoslovakia. On New Year’s Day, 1990, he gave his first “state-of-the-nation” address to the country on national television.

“New Year’s Address to the Nation,’ January 1, 1990

“For forty years on this day, you heard, from my predecessors, variations on the same theme: how our country was flourishing, how many millions of tons of steel we produced, how happy we all were, how we trusted our government, and what bright perspective were unfolding before us.

I assume do did not propose me for this office so that I, too, would lie to you.

Our country is not flourishing. . .. 

But all this is not the main problem. The worst thing is that we live in a contaminated moral environment. We fell morally ill because we got used to saying something different from what we thought. We learned not to believe in anything, to ignore each other, to care only for ourselves. Concepts such as love, friendship, compassion, humility, and forgiveness lost their depth and dimensions. . .. The previous regime . . . reduced man to a force of production and nature to a tool of production. . .. It reduced gifted an autonomous people to nuts and bolts in some monstrously huge, noisy, and stinking machine, whose real purpose was not clear to anyone. . ..

As I have observed the growing fascism under the alignment of the powerful with the Biden regime and its invocation of dystopia and dehumanization akin to what Havel described in his address, the title of Václav Havel’s 1978 essay, The Power of the Powerless, intrigued me.  

The essay, among others found in The Power of the Powerless: Citizens Against the State in Central Eastern Europe, explain the features of Soviet-type totalitarian systems of power as compared to the West (A comparison soon to be invalid if people continue “to flow comfortably along . . . down the river of pseudo-life).

Havel’s description of “the post-totalitarian system” he is witness to is shockingly similar to current state of affairs in the U.S.:

“The post-totalitarian system touches people at every step, but it does so with its ideological gloves on. This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the working class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his or her ultimate liberation; depriving people of information is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.”

Havel’s “post-totalitarian state” of 70’s Communist Eastern Europe was totalitarian but radically different from the totalitarian dictatorships of Hitler and Mao. Havel’s biographer, John Keane, described Havel’s “post-totalitarian state” this way:

Within the system, every individual is trapped within a dense network of the state’s governing instruments. . .themselves legitimated by a flexible but comprehensive ideology, a “secularized religion”. . . .it is therefore necessary to see, argued Havel, that power relations. . .are best described as a labyrinth of influence, repression, fear and self-censorship which swallows up everyone within it, at the very least by rendering them silent, stultified and marked by some undesirable prejudices of the powerful.

Keane’s description brings us back to the epigram of this post. The “willingness to merge” statement is from The Power of the Powerless. It follows from the shop-keeper example and questions Havel poses:

The manager of a fruit-and-vegetable shop places in his window, among the onions and carrots, the slogan: “Workers of the world, unite!” Why does he do it? What is he trying to communicate to the world?  Is he genuinely enthusiastic about the idea of unity among the workers of the world? Is his enthusiasm so great that he feels an irrepressible impulse to acquaint the public with his ideals? Has he really given much thought to how such a unification might occur and what it could mean?

What if the shopkeeper takes down his sign (takes off his mask) and begins to speak up?

Havel explores the potential of the “powerless” with an examination of the nature of power. Havel speaks of a profound crisis of human identity brought about by “living within a lie.” He speaks of political import: the individual’s moral choice for truth and in the creation of an independent life – a sphere of truth – for society even as every individual is trapped within a dense network of the state’s governing instruments. (I would add: The center of power is not the center of truth.)

(This essay has much to consider at this moment in time. It is available for download below.)

“If the main pillar of the system is living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it is living the truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely than anything else.”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless

“In an era when metaphysical and existential certainties are in a state of crisis, when people are being uprooted and alienated and are losing their sense of what this world means, this ideology inevitably has a certain hypnotic charm. To wandering humankind it offers an immediately available home: all one has to do is accept it, and suddenly everything becomes clear once more, life takes on new meaning, and all mysteries, unanswered questions, anxiety, and loneliness vanish. Of course, one pays dearly for this low-rent home: the price is abdication of one’ s own reason, conscience, and responsibility, for an essential aspect of this ideology is the consignment of reason and conscience to a higher authority. The principle involved here is that the center of power is identical with the center of truth.”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless: Citizens Against the State in Central-Eastern Europe

“Truth must be integrated with love; morality is not whole without it. Love is the greatest strength of the powerless. Unity founded on love will never be coercion; power guided by love will never be violence. Love is all-powerful and will even overcome hatred. And only love can do this!”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless: Citizens Against the State in Central-Eastern Europe

This week I received the following message from my Illinois state representative:

Yesterday, Governor JB Pritzker issued a statewide mask mandate for K-12 students. In doing so, he superseded the decisions being made at the local level, and silenced the voices of students, parents, educators and administrators. 

This authoritarian mandate is the latest attack on truth and humanity. As most people now know, masks are ineffective against the spread of COVID. Worse, as detailed above, masks are dangerous for children to wear. Do not send your children to school in masks. Masks are physically and emotionally harmful for children to wear. Defy the lie.

Other lies we are told to accept:

Critical Race Theory (CRT)

America is a racist country.

If you are white you are racist.

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. ((DEI) is meaningless virtue signaling of Woke ‘virtues.’ Consider that Chicago elected a DEI intersectional black-gay-woman as mayor. Chicago is referred to nationally by the shooting and killings that take place in its city limits. Chicago’s mayor Lightfoot, in her DEI capacity, absolves herself of any responsibility by saying “All roads lead to COVID.” Others like her say, “All roads lead to climate change.”

DEI is a tyrannical imposition on people and business and, for the most part, is racist in its application.)

The hugely priced Infrastructure Bill is about physical infrastructure. (The bill contains massive amounts of tax-payer money for social engineering. Its passage will place America’s children and grandchildren under a huge burden of debt, devalue the dollar and will expose America to its number one enemy – China.) Also, are you OK with having your mileage taxed?

A Plain Reading of the Times

The brainwashing techniques of the tortuous past year – the state’s coercion to make us obey irrational and inhuman restrictions, the sensory-depriving mask mandates, the social isolation, the state-instigated shaming and punishment of those not conforming, the 24/7 fear-peddling of the media, the forced subjugation to pseudo-science, the unrelenting “get-the” vaccine goading – reminded me of the O’Brien-Winston Smith struggle session in George Orwell’s 1984:

I tell you, Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party.

O’Brien later questions Winston as to Winston’s understanding of why people are brought to Room 101. Winston replies “To make them confess”. O’Brien replies “No, that is not the reason. Try again”. Winston answers “To punish them.” “No!” exclaimed O’Brien.

“Shall I tell you why we brought you here? “To make you sane! . . . The Party is not interested in the overt act: the thought is all we care about. We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.”

What has taken place the past year is also eerily similar to the mind-control techniques used on Korean War prisoners detained by communists in North Korea and China. The Biderman Report of 1956, details techniques used on prisoners (see chart below).

What has taken place the past year -the quashing of dissent – is also eerily similar to the destabilization techniques (“decomposition”) that was used in Stasi psychological and political warfare.

…the Stasi often used a method which was really diabolic. It was called Zersetzung, and it’s described in another guideline. The word is difficult to translate because it means originally “biodegradation.” But actually, it’s a quite accurate description. The goal was to destroy secretly the self-confidence of people, for example by damaging their reputation, by organizing failures in their work, and by destroying their personal relationships. Considering this, East Germany was a very modern dictatorship. The Stasi didn’t try to arrest every dissident. It preferred to paralyze them, and it could do so because it had access to so much personal information and to so many institutions.
—Hubertus Knabe, German historian

“The aim of decomposition is the fragmentation, paralysis, disorganization and isolation of hostile-negative forces, thereby providing a differentiated political-ideological recovery.”

You can read about the methods of The Stasi Decomposition here.

The 20th century handed us blood-stained receipts for the purchase of ideological conformity. These should have served as warning signs. But these signs are being taken down. History, with its own voice of dissent, is being “decomposed” by those who are taking control of the past (e.g., the 1619 Project). For . . .

Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future. ― George Orwell, 1984

2021 and the “PARTY” continues. Over my 68 years I’ve witnessed the American psyche transformed from an attitude akin to that of fiercely independent frontier folk to that of the emasculated, passive and childlike Eloi. In the process Americans have become fodder for the ruthless dark army of the “PARTY”, aka Globalists.

It is the Progressives – “PARTY” useful idiots – who use coercion and control, as documented above, to demoralize, degrade, and dispatch Americans. It was the much-ballyhooed Progressive FDR who ordered Japanese-Americans into internment camps. FDR created a milieu of fear to perpetrate this crime against a portion of humanity.

Have you noticed? For Progressives, being a U.S. citizen means doing nothing more or less than what they say. And, Progressives do not stop with removing freedom and rights of Americans. They desire the exorcism of the human spirit so that you and I may only be possessed by their collectivist ideology.

Human agency is a problem for Progressives. Your claim to be made in the image of God is a major problem for them. Your heart, mind and soul must be purged of anything that is God-resident. We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.

Over the past year we’ve witnessed how they “change them”. We’ve seen people forced to submit to the indoctrination of Critical Race Theory. We learned of the dark army’s passage of the For the People Act of 2021 (H.R. 1) – the act works to keep the dark army in control Of We the People.

We’ve learned of Megan Markle’s childish “me-me-me” worldview that was meant to be replicated worldwide. And, we’ve seen the entire population locked down when only those at risk – a small segment of the population – should have been quarantined.

We’ve seen the normalcy “goal post” moved over and over the past year (a destabilization technique). We’ve been forced to follow the (pseudo-)science of COVID pronouncements.

In truth, leftists and Democrats have become the purveyors of superstition. Their creation of a fantasy world is not because they do not believe in science per se, but because they believe more in the primacy of ideology that should shape and warp science in the proper fashion for the greater good. What prompted Paul Ehrlich, Al Gore, or Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hysterically and wrongly to forecast widespread demographic or climatological catastrophe in just a few years was not ignorance of science per se, but a desire to massage science for our own good.

. . . Fauci has rejected science, as he knew it, to mislead the public. . . he adopted the Platonic “noble lie” on occasion. – Victor Davis Hanson, Follow The ‘Science’ They Said

In this post I presented some analogies from history of what the intelligentsia – those who think they know better than you; today these are the Globalists of Davos – will do to make sure you are controlled to the nth degree so as to produce the outcomes they desire.

Now come the questions: Since we have the blood-soaked receipts of the evil that occurred in the 20th century are people now allowing it to happen again?

Where are people’s heads at right now? Are people running around in a make-believe Where the Wild Things Are world created for them by the thought-control Globalists? Is political correctness and the “cancel culture” about people preferring a make-believe world as found in children’s books? Do people relate to Megan-Markle spewing her WOKE pablum?

(What should be deeply concerning: history and now literature, which also takes us beyond our finite self-world, are now being discarded as not being relevant to one’s own “me-me-me” experience.)

Do people like being treated like children? Are there people who are perfectly content being juvenile in their thinking and playing the Eloi? A plain reading of the times would indicate this to be so.

Freedom – Everywhere in Chains

Are you less free now than a year ago?

Are you currently free to flourish as a human?

Are you currently told to wear a mask, stay home and wait for release from house arrest?

Are you being told how you can gather with your family and your church?

Are you being told that you will need a vaccine passport so that you can travel and participate in society once again?

Has your business license become a noose around your neck?

Do you feel free to make choices about dealing with COVID-19?

Do you feel free from coercion? From arbitrary power?

Are you being told how to live your life by those who do not know you?

Do you agree with the following?

“It is true that the virtues which are less esteemed and practiced now–independence, self-reliance, and the willingness to bear risks, the readiness to back one’s own conviction against a majority, and the willingness to voluntary cooperation with one’s neighbors–are essentially those on which the of an individualist society rests. Collectivism has nothing to put in their place, and in so far as it already has destroyed then it has left a void filled by nothing but the demand for obedience and the compulsion of the individual to what is collectively decided to be good.” (emphasis mine)

― Friedrich August von Hayek, The Road to Serfdom

Collectively decided to be good is principle the 18th century Swiss philosopher and French Revolution muse Jean Jacques Rousseau was after: the “general will”, as penned in his 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.

Some equated Rousseau’s “general will” with an agreed upon rule of law that would ensure freedom and equal treatment in society. This, at first glance, appears to be beneficial for society. Yet, freedom can be quickly disposed of when the “general will” becomes a demand for obedience and conformity to its rules and laws. Dictators and totalitarian leaders – Democrats, specifically – and their media amplifiers have no problem creating a “general will” and dispensing with your freedom.

As you have witnessed, the Democrats/Left define and perpetrate “general will” in their own ideological (and theological – “social justice”) terms. The Left has no desire for input from anyone else.

The Left’s concocted “general will” is hawked by the predominately Leftist corporate media as the generally accepted will of the people. And, since the lie is in the NYT and on MSNBC, CNN and now on Fox News, people get the impression that what they are being sold is the real deal. The critical race theory based “1619 project” is just one example of what is being peddled. Mask wearing is another. Salvation from COVID-19 by vaccine is another

Those who do not abide by the “general will” Groupthink are rubes, “bitter clingers”, “deplorables”, “racists”, and not worthy of a social media voice in the controlled “general will” narrative.

Does any of this sound familiar in light of this past year of politics playing medicine, of mandates, lockdowns, the stolen election, and the stolen “general will”? Freedom – everywhere in chains because of the imposition of “general will”.

Collectivist’s lies may make you feel like you are in sync with the “general will.” Therein, you may feel safe. Collectivism talks of multiculturalism, of humanism, of a “better world for everyone.” Individual freedom is of no importance to collectivists.

If you care about your freedom, then throw off any attachment to the collectivist “void”. Put to death the collectivist impulse once and for all. Resurrect the human that is you. I return you to the words of Friedrich Hayek.:

“Freedom to order our own conduct in the sphere where material circumstances force a choice upon us, and responsibility for the arrangement of our own life according to our own conscience, is the air in which alone moral sense grows and in which moral values are daily recreated in the free decision of the individual. Responsibility, not to a superior, but to one’s own conscience, the awareness of a duty not exacted by compulsion, the necessity to decide which of the things one values are to be sacrificed to others, and to bear the consequences of one’s own decision, are the very essence of any morals which deserve the name.”


And

“Probably it is true enough that the great majority are rarely capable of thinking independently, that on most questions they accept views which they find ready-made, and that they will be equally content if born or coaxed into one set of beliefs or another. In any society freedom of thought will probably be of direct significance only for a small minority. But this does not mean that anyone is competent, or ought to have power, to select those to whom this freedom is to be reserved. It certainly does not justify the presumption of any group of people to claim the right to determine what people ought to think or believe.”

******

The opening sentence to Rousseau’s The Social Contract:

“Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.”

Rousseau, like many since, assumed that man is by nature a free and innocent being. He would tell you that man is not the problem. In The Social Contract he stated “Men are not naturally enemies”. He pointed to social institutions as the problem. Fast forward. Remember Barack Obama talking about the “fundamental transformation of America?”

Such a distorted vision of man is behind the ruinous ideology, i.e., Marxism, which has devasted and destroyed the lives of millions. In the effort to produce equality of results, the only equal result has been death by ideology.

Such a distorted vision of mankind is also behind the ad hoc justice being dispensed to today as “social justice.” Accordingly, people are not to be held accountable for crimes against another because of their social situation – environment is the problem, not the man. Yet, as anyone can see under ad hoc justice, a socially “just result” for the criminal does not produce an equally socially “just result” for the victim. The Left cares for one result but not the other.

As I write this, more and more of American institutions are becoming corrupted to serve the coming globalist collective. Man, who is “born free”, is willingly taking on the “chains” supplied by the institutions of the globalist collective.

Unmasking The Truth – Dr. Lee Merritt -Omaha, Nebraska

The Takeover of 2020

We can all agree that 2020 was disorienting, dispiriting and depleting. We are reeling from the noxious effects of evil unleased in the midst of a great battle:

“There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God, and counter claimed by Satan.” C.S. Lewis

2020 started on anything but a neutral ground.  The enemy of our souls, allied with powerful cultural forces – corporate media, ivory tower professors, big-tech oligarchs, and social media publishers – had taken over the cultural terrain. To hold their ground, you and I have been hit with a constant torrent of subversive propaganda to weaken our defenses. The messaging seeks to disorient, dispirit and deplete those who oppose them. It negates and zeroes out everything that is good in terms of a Creator and resets truth to be what power declares it to be. Here is a short list of the anti-human messaging:

  • The world has no Creator. You are not to be considered a creature of a good personal God. You are to be considered a chance by-product of a natural process randomly occurring out of chaos. The human world is a human construct.
  • Your life motivation, like all else in the “red in tooth and claw” universe, is the will to power.
  • Truth is what friends (and voters, viewers, etc.) let me get away with saying.
  • Science is not about finding the truth. There is no truth (we are told). Science is about the means for the will to power.
  • Christianity is at the root of all the problems facing mankind. Since we are creatures of earth, we must turn to the earth for our salvation. Ideology is to replace religion.
  • Language and what you say must be controlled because you must not get away with saying anything that smacks of truth.
  • The repudiation of reason, history, tradition, and metanarrative – rejection of anything that gives society understanding, meaning and hope as to how and why and that stands apart from ideology – allows one to rise above the aforementioned, claim the power of deconstruction and look down and mock.
  • The way forward is through self-consciousness, moral relativism, pluralism and Globalism.

Onto a minefield plotted by nihilists desiring to blast God-given life out of you, communist agitators -BLM protestors – flew in. It is clear from the Black Futures Lab donation page that the protests were sponsored by the Chinese Progressive Association (an agency of the Chinese Communist Party or CCP) among other anti-American sources.  COVID-19 – a bioweapon created and released by the Chinese Communist Party, also flew in.

Seeing a chance to claim a massive stretch of ground under the cover of crisis, western tech globalists and the Pope used the virus and their will to power. With their influence, money and authority (and the subservient corporate media) they sold “lockdowns”, a CCP containment model, as the means to achieve the Great Reset. The Great Reset is a complete restructuring of social and economic life on earth using as its model the CCP communist state.

The CCP uses biometric-technocratic surveillance of its people to keep them in line. You and I are under are to come under the same surveillance. You and I are to be made non-human obedient automatons of the Great Reset communist super-state. To enable this, the outcome of the 2020 election was manipulated.

According to Andrea Widburg “Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg may have played one of the biggest roles in swinging the election outcome.” Putting the CCP-compromised Joe Biden and the pliable Kamala Harris into office by any means necessary -election fraud in swing states – facilitates the globalist agenda.

Totalitarian globalists have taken over 2020. In doing so, they have shown that they hate populists. They have shown their hatred via the corporate media and by the evidenced election fraud. Globalists want to disorient, dispirit and deplete populist America.

To wit, Amazon, Walmart and other globalist big box stores had surging profits in 2020 while small businesses across the nation were being eviscerated not by COVID-19 but by the globalist-imposed lockdowns.

Globalists hate you and me. Globalists love non-thinkers and TV watchers. These nihilists will tell you that there is nothing to understand so why think at all?  Having power is all that matters. Those Gollums love those who have emptied themselves of resistance and follow them to Shelob’s lair.

 2020. Disorienting. Dispiriting. Depleting. On purpose. You and I are reeling from the noxious effects of evil unleased in the midst of a great battle.

Disoriented? One of the aspects of encountering evil is not being able to think straight. Confusion brought on by the repetition of lies, contradictory statements, and the layering of self-deception coupled with moral relativism produces stupor – an inability to think or act. (Shelob’s venom was not intended to kill its victims but only to render them unconscious and keep their meat fresh.) Corporate media sponsored by Globalists is the main source of confusion (and venom) today.

Dispirited? Evil is in opposition to life. Evil is not empathetic. Evil protects itself, its image. Hence, evil is opposed to free speech and to religion. Evil is opposed to redemption. Hence, the removal of meaning through deconstructionism and the cancel culture. Evil pursues a world of Absence and Nothingness.

Depleted? Evil is not simply the absence of goodness — it is actively hateful and destructive. The will to power is behind the bioweapon unleashed in the world and the election fraud unleashed in America.

The following sums up the what you and I have been exposed to:

M. Scott Peck, Psychiatrist and author of People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil defines evil as “the exercise of political power — that is, the imposition of one’s will upon others by overt or covert coercion — in order to avoid extending one’s self for the purpose of nurturing spiritual growth. Ordinary laziness is nonlove; evil is antilove.”

It has been said in clinical settings that naming something, in this case evil, gives us a certain amount of power over it. This power is not the will to power in order to control others, as the world defines. Rather, it is the power to not be overcome by evil and to resist evil in ourselves and to conquer evil with good …on the 2021 battlefield.
