This is a necessary but depressing read. I feel so helpless & scared but angry & defiant too. I do wonder if we really are a majority against the woke/hive mind Army. A covidiot friend just told me last night that she is going to hold off on her FOURTH jab to wait for the new Moderna one coming out in the Fall. Im almost to the point that I don’t want to be friends w/ any of these people who believe this s#!+ after everything that’s coming out now.
We are not an absolute majority, in fact, of the total population, we a small minority. The difference becomes if we are Organized and Active. 5% of America is 15 million people. If we all committed $1,000 that would be 15 billion dollars. If we were Organized, Active, and Committed, we could turn the whole ship around.
This is the best put together in a beautiful plain language overview of the situation I've come across. I wish I was smarter so I could convey better
just how much I enjoyed reading it, how much I appreciate it. Sure, we know
what's going on, sure we are in some ways functioning in an echo chamber,. naturally seeking support and acknowledgement, proof that we're part of a bigger community not individuals going insane. Reading your piece reinforced
this realisation for me in a very strong way. Thank you!
No other choice. They aren't afraid to be on the offense, ever. Even if we, as generally "leave me the fuck alone" type people don't want to go on offense, we have no choice but to at least stand and defend. Otherwise we're as much a part of the Woke movement as they are.
From my perspective, the woke movement is just the pendulum going the other direction. For almost 40 years the 'moral majority' had their day in the sun, putting their boot on the necks of others. The woke movement is just blowback from that and the pendulum going the other way, as it always does.
Sounds like an interesting book, I have not heard of the authors before.
One thing I do greatly fear is what I think I heard someone call generational memory. For example, today's youth knows nothing else but being surveilled basically 24/7. Their phones are tracked. If they drive, the car is tracked. Video camera's everywhere, etc. This is normal for them, and they are fine with it. Similarly, I read somewhere not long ago a parent and kids were watching a cop show from the 70's or 80's, and the kids asked the parent why the cops were being so nice. The normal state of things for them is to see cops bashing heads in, and they are also ok with that too, or at least, they are very ok with submitting to that authority so they won't get theirs bashed in. So when I am old, and they are in charge, I'm not so sure I'm going to like all the things that are completely normal to them and they are fine with. Hope I made sense.
Well, I'm going to talk back to you, too. The faith meaningful to you is also one built on that hive-mind thingy.
I'll say as I have before. We are a hierarchal pack-animal species, and it's just that our packs are a bit bigger than is usually manageable by the Alpha Pair, so we cultivate lots and lots and lots of Sub-Alpha Pairs and send them forth to enforce.
Everything becomes a religion with its holy rituals and received wisdom and sanctified acolytes and Revered Leaders in service to an Unknowable Undefinable just slightly out of reach, but the faithful are encouraged to keep striving, they'll get to touch It soon.
Please show me someone who doesn't believe that their truth is Truth.
Wokeness fills the void created by the abandonment of the gorgeous rituals, music and celebrations created to satisfy the yearning in every human being for order, beauty and surety. There's a reason why every religion says you cannot say the holy words in your vernacular, the magic incantation can only be activated by words from archaic tongues which we will make clear to you.
That's why every liberalization in the practice of any faith results eventually in a miserable dissatisfaction leading, eventually, to what people think is just a secular lifestyle.
People need mystery. They will create it where it doesn't exist, because a life without magic is horribly void.
i find humour to be an under-rated and crucial weapon against the narratives, Ricky Gervais recently took a comical genius axe to the woke, Dave Chappelle took a good swing at gender and this guy attacks the covid bs in the most entertaining stand up show ive seen in years https://youtu.be/bItcoUb5xsw
"A small political party quickly captured the political system of Germany and then unleashed horrors untold."
this is a laughable attempt to obsfurcate what actually happened in Germany.
If you really don't know any better well, that's embarrassing for you, and if you do know better, well...
If you really want a lecture about the history of the twentieth century, I am probably not the best person to do it for you.
There are many high quality documentaries. You could watch the ten hour epic "Europa; The Last Battle"
You could start with James Corbett and his Corbett reports about the history of where we are. If you don't understand what actually happened in the two world wars, you can't understand anything else.
You could try starting by reading Kurt Vonnegut Jr's famous work "Slaughterhouse 5" and simply start fresh.
Revisit what was programmed into you growing up. Germany bad. Bad man bad. Nothing else is needed. Bad man bad, made people bad. People bad did bad things because bad. deserved all they got. Except those who we needed. They got new lives, because good side good.
Even if bad.
Operation paperclip, etc.
Just try starting to realise how laughable is "A small political party quickly captured the political system of Germany and then unleashed horrors untold." as an explanation of how the twentieth century went the way it did.
Bad man was also the cause of the first world war ¿no?
Sorry about the delay.
I couldn't decide how to answer you the first time I noticed the notification. And that was late. My apologies
It wasn't my intent to minimize ALL of the other mitigating factors in discussing the 20th century, the terror of two world wars, or anything else. I'm well-versed and well-read on the 20th century. I know villains have been around since the beginning of time and abound in multitude. I know complex world issues include complex variables. Nothing happens in a vacuum, and nothing of this magnitude happens without a ton of factors.
But that wasn't in the scope of my article, and it wasn't my point. The fact is, a relatively small group within the German political system DID grab power and DID inflict horrors untold. The speed and exponential expansion of a man and his ideology going from near-obscurity and irrelevance to coming to power and nearly ruling the world is breathtaking. The ways the Nazis consolidated power in their own system was ruthless and with breakneck speed. These things are all true and accurate, and I stand by them.
Again, there's at least a century's worth of backstory, addendums, appendices, and additional main story lines, and I'm well aware of a majority of them. If I'm still missing your point, please feel free to elaborate so I can better understand you and maybe even grow and learn.
I have a natural tendency to get overexcited and defensive, so glad it came across as measured.
I just think you don't know the history of your 'small group' as well as you think. The bad man resurrected the nation from the ashes of the Wiemar republic just by reforming the money system and encouraging the people to work. People like to work. The people loved what the bad man did. Those crowds of joyous adulation weren't faking it.
Honestly, I used to believe something very different about that whole period before starting to look into it.
The bad man's crimes were banking crimes, or crimes against banks. Later on came a lot more complexicity, as banks fight back.
I can only suggest documentaries and lines of investigation, but it's a long hard road to the truth.
They say the truth will set you free, but it will piss you off first.
I don't agree with your thrust that the nazis consolidated power in a bloodthirsty way, I think they successfully transformed the country from the very edge of ruin and made it a powerhouse.
Later, as you get pushback, well who knows.
As I intimated the first time, I am a rank amateur at this stuff, but have put a lot of thought into interpreting the images and info I have seen.
I could be wrong.
Lucky I don't want to rule the world.
I would rather like there be an advanced civilisation for our descendents to inherit, but maybe it's better that there may not be.
I was just rereading your comment and mine before posting. Reading your last paragraph just rings false, because once you get an idea of the overall story (at least as it assembles in my head) you stop making heil bad man arguments altogether. There's just no real substance to that, apart from it's wartime propaganda value.
I could go on, but my thoughts are not very organised
I'd like to hear more about your resources about the "foreign materials with behaviour modification characteristics, combines with quantum technology."

Great article!

Stand your ground, in other words.
No other choice. They aren't afraid to be on the offense, ever. Even if we, as generally "leave me the fuck alone" type people don't want to go on offense, we have no choice but to at least stand and defend. Otherwise we're as much a part of the Woke movement as they are.
Do not worry about them - they have or will soon self eliminate(d):

Let's hope and pray this is the part of the pendulum that doesn't break and completely remake the clock though.
Ever read this guy's stuff? I heard about this theory/pattern idea a while ago.

Ricky is a slimy lil fella.
does someone not like his nazi jokes?
I see what you are implying :-) Appearances mislead sometimes.
you understand we brits have a warped sense of humour and love to gently press buttons, ricky is less gentle
As he's half-Quebecois.
if these were the only jokes he had, would be dandy.
maybe you need to have a look at what really happened in Germany, because you get that wrong and you just sound like one of them.
Please clarify.
Your words...
"A small political party quickly captured the political system of Germany and then unleashed horrors untold."
this is a laughable attempt to obsfurcate what actually happened in Germany.
