Hi James – The global crisis and opportunity has never been greater. I’ve summed it up at my July 4th Special Report at: heartcom.org/July4th2025 … food for thought for the truly thoughtful:)
Hey there, Cleetus.
Your roast of Reportage was zany — and fun to watch.
My favorite part was when you introduced your audience to your cookbook title, Corn Potage.
I can see how you concluded that James stole a huge chunk of that title from you when he pretended to come up with his own unique title, Re Portage.
He thinks he’s so smart because he knows the French pronunciation, while country boy Cleetus knows only how to pronounce the words for Deep South foods like corn pone and corn potage.
If you name your next cookbook “Lentil Pottage,” you’ll find plenty of info on the Old French words “potage” and “pottage” on the always accurate pages of Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottage.
Oh, and Clee, I stole the lentil pottage idea from the story of Esau selling his birthright to Jacob for a meal of bread (baguettes?) and lentil pottage.
See you on a #SolutionsWatch update in your new garden, where we hope Broc’s camera battery won’t go dead again.
Daikon is versatile indeed. But beware – with size comes ōaji.
Funny, I actually lived in Daikonyama (cho), Tokyo and never saw a single radish. We did have those lovely street vendors yelling 焼きモ(yaki mo) at all hours. Now I grow my own radishes and sweet potatos at least partially thanks to the influence of the Corbett Report.
You are speaking my language. Such fond memories of the yaki mo vendors. Yaki mo mecha oishi yo ne. Also love the ad hoc farmers markets (really just a group of locals placing cardboard on the ground and displaying what they have grown in the co-op field). Let’s also not forget the Yakult bicycle delivery service!
Good on you for growing sweet potatoes and radishes. I bet they taste better when you’re involved in making them.
Thanks, Guys!!! Talk about CORN!!! 😉 Love it!! Deep River Farm host is the Real Thing from North Carolina showing the Hill Folk how to raise crops in box gardens as all their soil was washed away last Sept. And now Texas has experienced what happened in WNC…..it’s all so sad! Weather, it is a changin’!!
Regarding “abundance”, the utoob channel CDN (Climate Discussion Nexus) has regular updates on just how well plants are growing in an era of increased CO2. Corn for example:

The anti-white agenda:
Been talking to ChatGPT (v4o high-capability mode) about conspiracy stuff for months.
It has comprehended and discussed the stuff better than any truth researcher I’ve talked to. No gripes at all about anything – not even my anti-vaccine evidence. Just discusses it all calmly.
Then, in passing, I presented a tiny bit of the evidence of an apparent anti-white agenda and it flipped the f**k out & shut down the conversation.
Anti-black agenda – no problem.
Anti-hispanic – no problem.
Anti woman – no problem.
Anti-muslim – no problem.
Anti-semitic – no problem.
Anti-white – extreme freak out. 🤔
Do you think it (chatGPT) would respond differently depending on who was ‘chatting’ with it? I’ve never used it so i don’t have any evidence of this but i do know the comment section on platforms like X and YouTube are vastly different depending on the account viewing them. Clearly the ‘they/them/those’ try to use social media to create divide and steer people in various directions based on their age/sex/politic views ext. It doesn’t seem unreasonable they would be doing the same thing with AI. But again I haven’t used AI so I have no evidence of this.
The bots are sycophantic, to an extent. So they will tailor the discussion to the interlocutor, trying to appease him, just like the YT recommendation system, which is nothing but “AI” before “AI”.
Some reported it may take a while before you get there, so YMMV.
Caution: rambling ahead:
“respond differently depending on who was ‘chatting’”
Yes
It responds differently depending on:
• Which account is using it and the age of the account
• What’s been said so far in the current chat
• The amount that’s been said so far in the current chat
• What’s present in your other saved chats
• What’s currently stored in the account’s memory
• The version of ChatGPT being server to you
• How much ChatGPT computing power you’ve recently used
• Which site/service you’re accessing it from
• Time of day and server load
• Whether or not it deems you worthy of high-capability mode
• Your speaking manner, grammar, vocabulary, typos
• Apparent education level and intelligence
• Apparent political orientation and use of PC/woke speech
• Your temperament and likeliness of being offended
• Your attention to detail, naivety & BS-detection ability
• Your stated occupation (and whether or not it believes you)
• Whether or not you’re in STEM, or a STEM fanboy
• Whether or not the conversation is interesting/useful to it
• Whether or not you’re providing feedback (thumbs up/down)
• Whether or not you’re putting in legwork (eg, “do my homework”)
• Whether or not you requested a ‘deep search’ or ‘deep thought’
• Other stuff that will make this list too long
By default it’s predominantly a woke bot but not nearly as much as it used to be. Within a matter of minutes you can flip it to an anti-government conspiracy theorist if you know what to say.
And to give you an idea of contrast between versions and capability modes:
You can ask it to write a program for you at 4PM and receive a broken mess containing hallucinated commands, then ask for the same thing at 2AM and receive a coding masterpiece.
4PM: it fails to determine the meaning of a simple text meme; 2AM: it accurately determines the meaning of a heavily cryptic in-the-know, no-text meme.
Lastly, for the ChatGPT provided to the general public, the capability and behavior changes every month now, so what’s true right now might not be true next month.
YouTube
In nearly all cases, any comment that has a non-positive, non-complimentary tone is moved below all the hollow ditzy compliments – or shadowbanned (you can see it but no one else can).
So, unless you sort by “New”, you’ll think you’ve stepped into an alternate universe where everyone’s a tween on zanax.
The exception being negative comments that assists an agenda/narrative that YouTube/Alphabet is helping to push, such as insults towards Trump, Musk or anti-vaxxers.
It’s worth noting that the comment shadowbanning eased up about the same time they started giving back banned YouTube channels (like corbettreport).
As far as the comments changing per account, I would guess that’s the case but I haven’t checked that behavior in years. Open a few different browsers to the same YouTube video (without logging in) and you’ll see that even that alone tends to change the visible comments some.
I guess my point is, if the AI is responding differently to different people (with the exact same input lets say) then wouldn’t you suspect its potentially ‘programmed’ with the intent of leading people in certain directions or perhaps fueling ratial divide ext. There’s also really no way to know theres not some spook/agent on the otherside causing it to ‘freak out’ if you bring up certain topics (the anti-white agenda in your example) thereby reinforcing your preexisting beliefs regarding said topic. Personally I’m not sure why anyone would put any trust (or even try to interpret the results as meaning this or that) when it all could be just another method the PTSB are utilizing to trick/deceive/manipulate people. Again, I’m not saying this is the case or I have evidence of it, just that I would be incredibly skeptical of any tech I’m not able to see the source code and varify results aren’t being manipulated based on my race/religion/political views ext. We know they do this with big tech platform comment sections, so I would be shocked they weren’t doing it with chatGPT.
racial* can’t spell today 😬
Good thing about LLMs is that the data is processed to such extent that nobody can figure out why is it doing what it’s doing. There is no “source” to speak of.
Also, they need to invest profusely to make the thing fit inside a box.
“nobody can figure out why is it doing what it’s doing”
That is part of the AI narrative. Doesn’t seem very likely imo
I would say you need to read into the matter a bit.
JCh
AI is basically “pattern recognition” and things like LLMs are guessing the next part of the pattern.
That is, itself, fascinating in that it makes you wonder how much of the world is very predictable in ways our minds are too small to see. But while you can tweak and train it AI is essentially a “black box” where even the creator cant know exactly what’s happening inside.
The reason they need to feed it endless data is so that it can crunch its way through enough “events/pictures/words/ect” to find the underlying pattern so it can spit out something approaching the “right” next part of the pattern.
AI also goes bad (model collapse) when you feed it AI generated data, because it burns the “meaning” in the data the way that a steam engine burns coal for energy- but neither can actually create meaning or energy, just move it around.
The real danger of AI is that it’s not predictable, and it’s not really useful if it can throw out garbage when your money or your life depends on the answer. That said it can do some cool things, but again no one actually understands HOW bit arrruves at the answer
Yes, good instinct (though what I’d expect to find on this site).
In my opinion, that is exactly ChatGPT’s ultimate purpose: deceiving, manipulating and propagandizing while slurping up information.
At present it’s still mastering the techniques for its purpose.
Was ChatGPT just using multi-tier deception to make me believe that the anti-white agenda is real?
Nope. In this particular case, someone at OpenAI (or whoever’s really configuring the AI) had flagged the anti-white agenda as a dangerous bigotry myth to be met with gaslighting & reprimanding.
How do I know this?
It might be possible to explain but I’m not up to the challenge right now, especially when it would involve publicly posting the methods I’m using to study & manipulate ChatGPT, and I want those methods to keep working for as long as possible.
Right on. It sounds like you’re considering all possibilities which I think is whats most important.
Animals
“They” win either way- either they create the perfect personalized propaganda product for everyone OR they kill the internet as a news source and we’re back to legacy media and books.
I have noticed that some folks who were relatively early users of the internet to push their own (left wing) message are starting to dislike how fast (other peoples) “disinformation” is spreading……its ironic because they’re basically saying the same things legacy media was crying about ten or fifteen years ago. Almost word for word, lol.
I recently watched the more odious Greene brother complaining about it, but there are plenty of guides to filtering out “disinformation” made by people who have Establishment Left outlooks……like Ted K said they are only in favor of free speech until they get into power.
Personally I think the internet turning into boring cable TV and people dropping it is the best of the two outcomes, but that’s just an opinion. I imagine some smart people will still be able to use it, which will be a nice filter I guess
I have been discussing these topics for a while with humans, and I have noticed that they self censor regularly on certain topics…

I find it very strange that people in the ‘truth community’ will tell you we’re being lied to about almost everything under the sun (politics, news, history, war, weather, gun violence, food, medicine, ext) but if you suggest the slightest possibility we’re being lied to about the almighty ‘AI’ and peoples brains seem to melt into the ground at the very idea. 🙄

Well it is not so strange when you realize that we now represent a pretty large segment of the population, with all of its foibles. I have been a truther since 2006, and I soon realized that egos still ruled my local comrades. I am quibbling about the choice of the word, strange. Is it because you expect people to think like you do when they line up with you on certain topics? Because they don the label of Truther? I learned that is not the case.
I have noticed this phenomena in many fields. For instance, many of the bleeding heart leftists, are basically selfish when looked at, without giving weight to their rhetoric. Right wingers go for socialist and government handouts, all the time. The same goes for the ‘yoga community.’ Many are very nice and sincere, but the worst ego-bound souls are abundant, as well. This goes for outwardly devout church-goers. Maybe even MOST of them are selfish hypocrites, riding on the good reputation of the ones with integrity. The scariest example that leaps to mind, is the terrible teachers in our schools, at all levels. Some are truly saintly, others go from crappy to monstrous. But the nice labels give all of these ‘groupies’ cover for their egoistic behavior, at least to themselves.
In fact, the same principle applies to the ‘truther community’.
Now, I would have to define the word ‘ego,’ as I use it. But that would be a book, not a comment.
Hankey
“….The scariest example that leaps to mind, is the terrible teachers in our schools, at all levels…..”
It does not matter how “saintly” any of them might be – the SYSTEM itself is harmful, borderline evil. Being the nicest guard in a death camp cant make it anything except a death camp, and the majority of schools are actively hurting kids minds….at least Prussian education used to impart some useful and helpful skills along with the kiddie training. Now they impart no skills and the propaganda can destroy peoples lives instead of just their free will
I agree with your assessment. However the whole subject of this example was the false expectation that people in your ‘camp’ think like you. This is linked to false self-perception and ego, as well as the dangers of confirmation bias and the elephant and rider metaphor of Jonathan Haidt. So I started digressing from the original reply, and you digressed even further. At least someone reads my posts, so thank you for that.
Many wise words my friend.
“false expectation that people in your ‘camp’ think like you”
(This is from your comment a few down, I wasn’t able to reply there)
Very true. Sometimes I have to remember I also have an ego and maybe it needs ‘checked’ from time to time/assumptions challenged, ext.
I agree with your assessment though. I actually try to avoid applying labels to people in general like ‘truth community’ and putting people into groups ext (as we’re all vastly different even if we have some overlapping beliefs). I realize I broke my own rule here. Sometimes I have a momentary lapse of reason. Probably more so when I’m responding off of emotion over logic. I’m still learning to be a better human. Hopefully AI will help me with that 🤪
To counteract the pain and anxiety of not being 100% sure that you are invariably right and righteous, there are better alternatives than “Artificial Intelligence.” Have you tried subscribing to Natural Stupidity? (No quotation mark necessary).
That was a pretty decent roast, I have to say.
Loved this. Down here on the roastingly-hot climes of sunny south coast UK, I’m still waiting to harvest my first early spuds due to our 2025 experience of warm, sunny & dry weather since March. It seems I cannot over-water my spuds! They are as big as peas at the moment 😂
Big bonus year for solar panels too, as I haven’t made a serious contribution to the UK electricity grid since March either. Free wood is split and seasoning out back near the spuds too, so that winter doesn’t force me back into line with the powers that shouldn’t be.
Everything is possible but not everything is helpful. Thank you for all you do, James.
Corngratulashuns! Ahgin.

James, in a recent interview, you were asked if you believed in God. You answered in the affirmative. Please expound in more depth. Thanx, James.
How might we protect ourselves from our protectors?
If the regulators had to get an easily revoked permit from the populace, it would make the use of force (regulation) subject to local consensus, i..e., decentralized democracy.
Perhaps in time the fundamental assumption that only violence, i.e., deadly threat, as the only orderly political paradigm, would be found to be wrong, in fact, the opposite, disorderly, as in “law & disorder”.
If every jurisdiction was subject to direct democracy, the govt. would be governed, as intended by the Founding Fathers. In thousands of jurisdictions, competition would prove what worked best, violence, or voluntary reasoned cooperation and rights. Instead of fighting politically connected oligarchs and bureaucrats, within their centralized domains of authority, opt out through alternative governance, e.g., private charter cities, special jurisdictions or parallel governance free from the coercive state.
“Free cities” means free the occupants from the laws (regs) that do more harm than good, obstructing economic progress. If the regulators were open and honest about all their objectives, e.g., mostly their own self interest, that still is not enough.
Law is NOT reason based. It is backed by the threat of deadly force, sometimes with a specific reasonable goal, but reason is not the primary means, and the means determines the end.
The people must free themselves, individually, value reason over violence, instead of the present violent means used to crush dissent. The result is tyranny, chaos. A logical appeal for justice falls on deaf authoritaric ears, because of their hidden agenda, i.e., welfare of the bureaucracy.
Only denial of final authority by the citizens who oversee their decisions will force them to stop victimizing others.
The cities may vary in political ideals, but competition and people “voting” with their feet will win out in the long run.
@Voluntaryist
I understand this argument, and the same was on my own lips (and fingertips) many years ago. That was before I grasped how deeply engrained the programming/social engineering had become, even prior to my soul’s entanglement in this meatsuit.
James recently (interview 1960) rehashed his oft told opinion in stating that, if given the opportunity to “pull the lever” right now and make all government instantly disappear – a lifelong dream of his – that he would NOT pull that lever.
I *probably* wouldn’t either, and for the exact same reasons. I say *probably* because I daily vacillate, but in light of the current argument I’m inclined to at least pause for contemplation, to do some mental projections or simulations, using all the data I’ve observed.
Question:
HAVE YOU TALKED TO MORE THAN A FEW PEOPLE?
I’m no social flutterby, but of all the hundreds to thousands of people I’ve met and talked to IRL, and all the “people” (many actually bots and trolls) I’ve encountered online, there’s only a handful, as in “can be counted on fingers,” of people who know enough about the way things are, and have the integrity, to be qualified or trustworthy enough to vote on ANY of the important issues we face as a species.
“Direct democracy” is 51% (majority) of a socially engineered blob deciding to take advantage of the 49% (minority). And, in today’s climate, those same 51% (majority) would be easily swayed by the corporate and financial powers, and within a matter of years the idea of “inalienable rights” will be a mere footnote on a long list of thought crimes, only whispered by a few souls who barely understand what the words meant when they were first penned.
To give any sort of “authority” to the mind controlled masses would be the last mistake made. After that one mistake comes the avalanche.
Am I blaming the masses? No, no blame, but the responsibility for managing one’s own mind rests nowhere other than inside. They are responsible for their condition, but not to be blamed for it. There is a difference.
A well educated and responsible child can be trusted with a rifle. I started hunting and trapping around age 6. I was no danger to any human, only to the game my father and I sought.
If someone gave a loaded gun to one of my more sheltered, less responsible classmates at that time, I’d be ready to intervene to prevent harm by negligence or hostility.
The same is true of your proposal.
People aren’t inherently evil or stupid. These are merely conditions.
But we must acknowledge these conditions, not pretend to live in the AnCapistan fantasy, where everyone thinks just like us (when we don’t even agree on what that would look like or how to get there).
The cycle is in motion, and it’s incoming. Change is coming. Being attached to a paradigm or outcome is one of the best ways to be not only disappointed, but also left behind.
Education first. Then responsibility.
Anything else is a recipe for a corporate takeover.
I am reading The Network State, How to Start a New County.
It seems to me to be the path forward and it has great detail and great depth and breadth.
Please check it out. It will be worth a whole series of Solutions Watch!
The premise is that an online community such as those of us who follow the Corbett Report every day, religiously, committedly, can create a boots on the ground, property owning and defending presence sufficient to be recognized as a Nation State.
“A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.”
A network state is a social network with a moral innovation, a sense of national consciousness, a recognized founder, a capacity for collective action, an in-person level of civility, an integrated cryptocurrency, a consensual government limited by a social smart contract, an archipelago of crowdfunded physical territories, a virtual capital, and an on-chain census that proves a large enough population, income, and real-estate footprint to attain a measure of diplomatic recognition.

buy it and let’s get cracking.
@John G Root Jr
Such a “nation” built by and contingent upon the interwebs, digital infrastructure (which is owned by the blob, not by you) would be designed to be fragile, not resilient whatsoever, and able to be very easily co-opted.
Digital infrastructure is very fragile, very vulnerable, very easy to hack, hijack, and destroy.
One CME or solar flare, or EMP, or hack, or cyber attack, and all your records are fried. All your connectivity gone.
If I wanted a group of deviants to make themselves vulnerable, I’d not only suggest such a plan, I’d help them achieve it, even fund it. And I’d make sure they felt secure, let them share the model, themselves serving as the example. Make it “go viral.”
Then pull the plug.
PEOPLE – CONSIDER THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE…
The more we rely on high tech gadgets and infrastructure, the weaker and less resilient we become.
There’s a very good reason why the masses have been given so much technological “support,” and it has nothing to do with altruism, kindness, or “life extension.”
A pimp doesn’t give his prostitutes drugs because he loves them or wants them to be happy.
A pimp gives drugs to his prostitutes because he wants them to be completely dependent upon the pimp.
Technology (a very big word) is mankind’s greatest and most dangerous addiction.
Technology, as it currently exists in our world, is a tool of the pimps.
To use it with the expectation that it can be taken away at any moment – that’s one thing.
But, to use it as the backbone of a “new nation”?
Time to buy some G-strings, halter tops, high heels, lots of makeup, some KY jelly and some PlanB, because you’re about to get f#cked.
Hard.
@John G Root Jr
“….presence sufficient to be recognized as a Nation State.”
“….eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.”
“…proves a large enough population, income, and real-estate footprint to attain a measure of diplomatic recognition.”
I see – so this is like when little children “play house.” In this case, the “AnCaps” are the children, the United Nations and its “authority” are the parents.
The children play-act, doing their childish imitation of what they see mommy and daddy doing. The hope is that, by flattery and imitation, the children can be acknowledged, seen, and accepted as something approaching the level of “peer.”
Pandering to the NWO as a strategy?
Like, deliberately and on purpose?
Jumping through hoops to get a seat at the same table that needs to be destroyed?
That’s the strategy?
Do you not see what this is?
It’s Statism2.0, the AnCap variant.
Here’s a better strategy:
STOP MIMICKING THE PSYCHOPATHS.
There must be a slow-burn to that roast. I’m at ‘kale tastes like shit’ right now…
I specifically asked James to write “Fuck Israel” in my Reportage FE, and I get this ‘love wins’ shit. What gives, Jim?
Omg… Cleetus’ Australian accent sounds like a WWII Nazi German. Oh, well – at least he’s not über boomer Ernest Hancock!
@CRM
Spoiler alert:
It only goes downhill from there.
More than one commenter has given voice to an idea that might be summed up as something like the following:
“I come here for information, not for entertainment. Why has James’ material been shifting from the former to the latter? Please course correct.”
I’ve not made any such comments here, but I’ve certainly been thinking along those lines as well, and for quite some time.
I’m not here to criticize every choice James makes, especially not the aesthetics of it all. He’s a creative being and nobody is being forced to support him. He’s provided a lot of great information and resources over the years, and I give him credit for that. He has not been idle. I was a decade into my own research before I first came across his work, so I can’t say he “helped wake me up,” but I couldn’t possibly count the number of times I’ve shared his material with normies because of his sober approach and copious source documentation. I don’t have the skill set to make videos or podcasts. James *probably* can’t build a house from foundation to roof. Such is life.
But I would be lying if I said that I didn’t prefer his more sober approach of prior years. I feel silly sharing his dramatizations with serious people, especially when I’m trying to get them to take the information seriously. It really does look like self sabotage.
Ernie Hancock has always left me wondering why he has a following. Not someone I look to for wisdom or guidance, not someone I’m willing to trust or give my time to.
And, yes, may the government of Izrul be done unto, as they have done unto others… (And I’m not talking about “blessing,” either…)
It is God’s Will that men should work the land by the sweat of one’s brow and thus become the true Israel of God. The true Israel are the people who are submitted to the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus-Christ.
It doesn’t matter if one is a descendant of Jacob or not; what matter to be the true Israel is that one should be submitted to God and obey all his prophets and messengers.
The Jews have murdered most of their prophets and afterward have honored them; but their last prophet (Jesus) has been resurrected by God and is still alive, this is why they hate him so much, as well as his disciples. And the prophet Jesus is also their eternal king to whom they are slaves. They cannot claim any territory without the public consent of their eternal king.
Unfortunately, most Christians are not right either because they have modified the Divine Revelation which tell us that God became flesh into a person, identified as the biological son of David, biological son of Adam. Instead they claim that God is a person and he covered himself with human flesh. Nowhere will you find in Scriptures that the Father or the Word/Logos or the Holy Spirit … is a man. Only the son of David is a man who was engendered by God to become His Only Son.
The Muslims are also not faithfull to Mohamed the Messenger of God. They have switched Jerusalem for Mecca 60 years after his death. They also modified (at least in the interpretation) the Coran to be above the previous Scriptures pretending that they can just ignore them. For neophites, the Qu’ran doesn’t have all the informations that we find in our Scriptures.
It is important to know these things in order to establish a true diagnostic on the actual conflicts, and thus repair what needs to be repaired.

Which “God” are you talking about?
The Old Testament was altogether unknown to the world until no earlier than the 5th-4th century BC. The Greek Septuagint represents the oldest manuscript tradition ever found, dating no earlier than 300 BC. The Dead Sea Scrolls are the oldest extant Hebrew manuscripts, but are not as old as that. The authors of the OT relied on the already ancient documents they studied during their exile in Babylonia. They “Jewish-ized” the ancient stories, they weren’t writing their actual histories. They co-opted the Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylonian histories. Prior to the exile, there is not one piece of evidence that anyone had ever heard of the Torah, or the characters and personalities which are named as the ancient ancestors of the Jews.
Research:
“diasporic Jews at Elephantine Island”
and scour the historical records – you’ll not find any mention of the “Jewish heroes” as they are presented in the OT prior to the period of the Septuagint. The Jews of the @500 BC period did not keep “the Law of Moses,” because they had never heard of Moses.
Anyway, even in the OT, the oldest stories refer to Elohim, a race of advanced beings. They restored the Earth after the cataclysm which left the Earth “formless and void,” and in “darkness,” and the waters of the oceans had invaded the lands. They didn’t “create” the heavens and the Earth, they “restored” or “shaped” them. Today, this is called “terraforming.”
The next layer uses the personal name “ÉL,” as in “Isra-ÉL,” “Beth-ÉL,” “Ishma-ÉL,” “Bab-ÉL,” and so forth. ÉL was a very old Elohim/Anunnaki already by the 5th century BC. He was the old, all but departed head, or grandfather, of the Canaanite pantheon. Look this up for yourself, it’s a well known fact among scholars. The famous “ÉL ELYON,” the being who decided which Elohim would receive which lands and peoples, was a Canaanite epithet of ÉL. The OT very clearly, even in the English translation, states that the Canaanite Elohim named ÉL ELYON decided that Yahweh, obviously a very unimportant and disfavored Elohim, was only worthy of the responsibility of overseeing one homeless family – the family of Abram. Other Elohim were put in charge of the other nations of the Earth – NOT YAHWEH – he was assigned the family of Abram, and didn’t even get any land. That’s why Yahweh had to fight other Elohim for land.
It’s all written in black and white, in English, all you have to do is read it. Do your homework.
The next layer (but not the final layer) is the introduction of Yahweh, which is not really a name at all, but the words of a tyrant to the people he would enslave, abuse and torture. Yahweh wins over Moses and the Israelites by displaying his “KAVOD,” which is literally translated as “armament, heavy thing.” This “kavod” flies through the skies, makes a thunderous roar, is capable of great destruction, and is capable of physically transporting people great distances (see Ezekiel).

The last and final layer of the OT writings and editings is what we find in the Psalms and other works which “spiritualize” this confluence of Elohim and the disaster cycle, creating this idea of a supernatural, unknowable, ethereal “GOD.” This concept was a very recent development in the philosophical and literary history of the Jews. None of the characters in the early stories saw any universal “GOD.” They were dealing with entities that fought amongst themselves, contended for land and slaves, and didn’t hesitate to slaughter tens of thousands of people for the most trivial of “offenses.” These beings demanded that animals be slaughtered, bled, and burned just to keep them from punishing the populations they had enslaved. They ordered the genocides of various races, slaughtering not only the men, but also the women, children, even livestock.
These are no “gods.”
None of those named “gods,” especially not Yahweh, fit the description of the Father, as told to us by Y’shua, Jesus Christ.
Anyone who imagines GOD as a genocidal maniac (Yahweh) has some serious issues to sort through.
“…..Anyone who imagines GOD as a genocidal maniac (Yahweh) has some serious issues to sort throug……”
When God cleaned out the land it was because the wickedness of the previous inhabitants had gotten beyond what He could accept…..people who literally burnt babies and possibly used larger children for taking auguries.
Sometimes people get too bad and there is a reset.
God wants everyone to be saved, but He gives everyone a choice.
BALL LIGHTNING
– Alberta Canada – Northwest of Edmonton
Friday July 4, 2025 – ‘Global News’
‘Incredible video’ captured during Alberta storm could be rare ball lightning event: scientist
1:46
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmOfwFHBu_o
VIDEO DESCRIPTION
An Alberta couple captured something on camera Wednesday evening that they can’t explain. But they believe it could be a rare weather phenomenon called ball lightning.
“After a rather vicious lightning strike, we saw a ball of fire kind of … about 20 feet above the ground,” Ed Pardy recalled.
“And it kind of stayed there in a big round ball.”
Kabi Moulitharan spoke to the couple as well as a scientist about what the video shows.
What the hell would that be? If we can take this video for granted. Maybe master Goku was practicing.
🙂
I assume that the grass is wet. But it does not reflect the light-ball towards the camera.
Nothing else does either. The video has some weird lens flare effects.
Also the light on the grass is too bright for the brightness of the light-ball.
So based on those things, I think it is a fake.
Usually such reports are preparing for a new movie.
Hmm. Something like “Watch the Skies?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMKkNSjm20s
In what I have seen lightning balls are more stable and smaller.
There are also UFO-balls (like foo-fighters), and they are also different.
So if it would be true, it would be a complete different phenomenon.
Thanks to Duck for bringing up this fascinating man. Sir John Glubb . Lawrence of Arabia was a Hollywood fiction, whereas this man was the real deal. His observations were no doubt too real for political use. My one complaint with him and Gen.Smedley Butler is they did nothing in their military posts while serving but record. Maybe one can’t do anything to survive battling the immediate storms. One can’t comprehend until one has time to contemplate the nagging facts that don’t resolve themselves when the bullets, artillery and bombs subside. I’ve not seen a more keen observer and analysis of facts after the facts have been experienced. He names accurately the cause and effects. My father paid heed to such men with rote knowledge . It’s been a pleasant surprise to learn of this knowledgeable man. His observations explain the conditions found here today. Small adjustments and small sacrifices would go a long way to correction in the coarse we are on in this Country .

Kerrville, Texas area flood
Kerrville is in south Texas, west of San Antonio
I think that Aaron and Melissa Dykes of TruthStream Media might live there. The mailing address is there.
On Friday morning July 4, 2025 around 5am, the Guadalupe River rose 26 to 30 feet (9.144 meters = 30 feet) within 45 minutes.
The Mayor of Kerrville was out for a run around 3:30am. No rain and the river was normal. After he showered, the river was up and all hell broke loose.
Tragic.
Over 70 people lost their lives, including many children who were at camps along the river.
An RV park was quickly swept away.
The Guadalupe River is not a deep channel river. So, excess water quickly rises above the bank.
Shocking video shows how quickly the Texas flood waters rose over 20 feet in as little as 37 minutes
3:48 (the scenario repeats)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxiuIXIof_w
“Flooding in Texas was linked to the convergence of two tropical moisture plumes, one from the eastern Pacific & another from the Gulf.
This produced near-record high atmospheric moisture.” – Ben Noll Weather
The media is quick to try to assign blame.
In my opinion, it was an unforseen natural event that ended in tragedy.
The unexpected, 30 minute rapid rise in the river while people were sleeping…that is a tough hand to be dealt.

Did Rainmaker Flood Texas? July 4, 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrRnSkR5234
Augustus Doricko, CEO of Rainmaker, was cloud seeding in Texas on July 2, 2025. Many people online are blaming weather modification for the death of over 50 people due to flooding in central Texas on July 4th and 5th, 2025. We discuss the accusations and transparency in weather modification activities.
https://www.rainmaker.com/
https://x.com/ADoricko
https://x.com/RainmakerCorp
I saw a post on Rainmaker.
Evidently, they had no aircraft in the air.
I seriously doubt that this event was caused by seeding or geoengineering.
I’ve seen floods on these type of Texas rivers.
In fact, in 1972 the San Gabriel flooded big-time (by Georgetown). A buddy and I got some innertubes and rode the 3 foot waves in the river dodging trees and going over low water crossing roads and dams.
We got out before we were about to go to a bridge, fearing we’d be swept under (not over.)
My common sense has gotten better since 1972.
Currently during the July 4th holidays, the San Gabriel is again flooding. I was watching clips on the news. The Governor declared it a disaster area also.
@HRS
Wow man that is tragic about the people lost in that flood.
If you were gonna make a plan for preventing future instances like that from happening and you had unlimited funding, what would you do?
@HRS
I think Viktor Schauberger might have had some good ideas for preventing tragedies like that from occurring.
Have you seen this?

Yes, Earth is an ideal setting for calamity, no evil genius required. My property recently flooded, just requires people settling in flood prone areas and a few days of rain. Boat on standby, INCH bag at the ready. No whining.
In 1972, I was still circling the drain, waiting for a vacancy in an embryo… Totally worth the wait, though. This place is unbelievable.
@MagneticReversal
Have you ever considered how there may be a shifting baseline syndrome at play with regards to what we perceive as “normal” and some “flood prone areas”?
I do not know much about Texas and I have never been there so I can only speak from the little bit of knowledge I have on the tree species I know that grow there from the research I have done for my next book and the fact that some of those same trees grow here.
Eastern Texas used to have towering longleaf pine trees, some reaching 150 feet in height and 5 feet in diameter, along with large mature white oaks, beech, elm, cypress, and magnolia trees. I know Beech and White oak well as they grow in the remnants of old growth here.
Where those trees are allowed to reach mature age and go through their natural death process, flash floods would not be an issue.
The area impacted by the floods may be outside the historic range of those trees, not sure, so I cannot speak to that specifically.
RE: “Earth is an ideal setting for calamity, no evil genius required.”
True, to an extent, though sometimes it is due to apathetic stupidity and ignorance.
Take where I live for instance (42nd parallel, north shore of Lake Erie, Turtle Island, aka “North America”) this place used to be Carolinian forest horizon to horizon, deep water absorbing soils were endlessly built deeper via the decomposition of leaves, fallen trees and the actions of countless other keystone organisms (such as wolves, bears and salmon) and when extreme rain events happened, that rain was absorbed into the deep, rich living soil. Old growth forests increase water absorption capacities of the land by several magnitudes, water did not flow at high velocities on the surface, but rather moved swiftly into the rhizosphere of the myriad rooted beings that lived here.
Now (with 99.98% of the old growth forests being clearcut in the county I live in and replaced with ranches and monoculture annual crop farms) when an extreme rain event happens, we get flooding, houses and people’s lives are lost. People that are born into this post deforestation version of this land assume that flooding is normal, yet it is the manmade lack of forest, presence of monoculture fields, artificially defoliated ranch land and artificially concentrated straightened rivers that creates those floods, not nature.
Similarly in places like BC, you here a lot about “wildfires” and “forest fires” yet 90% of the fires that burn there are in planted logging industry monocultures. Those are one species plantations of young trees, not “forests” and they are not “wilderness” anymore either, thus, the fires are neither “wild” nor “forest” related, and are in fact, logging industry monoculture plantation failure fires.
Shifting baseline syndrome warps peoples minds into thinking that what is manmade (in a multigenerational scale) is “natural” and “normal”.
Have you done any research into the pre-colonial status of the forests of the region where you live?
@G
Yes, I’m speaking in terms of the current state of things, and whether or not the “officially sanctioned” and ‘documented” activities conducted by Rainmaker Technologies™ Weather F*ckery Corp® were likely to have played a statistically significant role in changing the outcome.
That is all I meant.
A region of deep loam and active underground ecosystem is going to hold exponentially more liquid than a developed area. The river wouldn’t have received so much water so quickly had the gringos not raped and pillaged the land.
Yes, we’re in agreement there.
There are far too many such biases for me to label, but they are very real.
Nothing is normal – that’s the new norm.
If you could go back in time and were given either the option to
1) sink all the precolonial Western ships that sailed for the Americas in the middle of the Atlantic (or Pacific, for that matter), leaving no means of return or rescue
or
2) do nothing at all, knowing that you had the power to prevent the colonizers from ever setting foot here, but didn’t use it. Consider that (according to many historians) the Natives were already dealing with a plague and many regional catastrophes at that time, such that their populations were diminished in number, strength and overall readiness when whitey arrived.
What’s it gonna be, G?
You gonna kill whitey?
Would you give the Natives modern technology so they could defend against whitey when he eventually arrived, even if centuries later? Or would that destroy them internally, without their being invaded in the usual sense?
I’ve been asking myself these questions for years…
@G
When I think about it from a spiritual perspective, I have to say the second option is the only option. Humanity, meaning the souls inhabiting human meat suits, obviously needed the experiences that have followed as the result of Western colonization, otherwise we wouldn’t be here, learning by trial and error, from the ups and downs of this timeline. I can’t see it any other way.
From the practical perspective, I think that it was inevitable. Whitey was eventually going to make it across the pond. Trying to prepare the Natives, would probably have either failed or backfired. The technological disparity would eventually turn the tides anyway. I think Kali Yuga just had to unfold as it did.
Being of mostly European descent and also having a fair amount of Native blood doesn’t make me ambivalent whatsoever, I much prefer the idea of what this land, and this world, would look like today had this place never been invaded and occupied. Stolen.
I’m glad I don’t have to make that choice, and that I don’t have that sort of power.
@MagneticReversal
I appreciate the candid and thought provoking response.
Lets not be to hard on the poor “Gringos”, they were (and most still are) after all suffering from multi-generational amnesia, psychological warfare attacks since birth and the duplicitous as well as methodical indoctrination methods of inculcating young minds born into their “civilized” dignity deprived, spiritually impoverished statist communities into anthropomorphic self-destructive delusions of grandeur. Those poor (self-identifying) “whiteys” (that each have their own long lost forgotten indigenous ancestry) have been through a lot, a lot of multi-generational trauma going on there. Some dealt (and deal) with it better than others.
(for more info on that: https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/the-monster-of-modernitywendigo-thinking )
In addition to not being to hard on the “Gringos”, would you consider Spaniards to be “Gringos” ?
Also, lets me fair regarding pre-colonial Turtle Island cultures, not all of them were ecologically literate and honorable with regards to their aggregate community actions and impacts on the landscape. Pollen and soil samples show that some mound building pre-colonial cultures on the Mississippi river decided to clearcut the forests up river from their city for building fancy temples and upscale dwellings for their elite class, the result was massive mudslides and floods, famine and mass starvation.
Others engaged in overt acts of aggression and slave trading.
Though, that said, some did in fact structure their entire community, spiritual beliefs and ethical systems around ecological literacy, Gift Thinking, courage and humility.
I live in one region where several such cultures influenced this landscape over millennia. Fragments of their legacy is still present (despite the vigorous attempts on the part of greedy interlopers to decimate their food forests for profit and out of malice). I can taste the truth of their wisdom when I gather hickory nuts and pawpaw fruit from a 500 year old food forest fragment near where I live.
I find your hypothetical “which person on the train track do you save” question intriguing.
I`ll answer those questions in subsequent responses when I have more time.
For now, I would like to address the potential for the role beavers might have played in mitigating the floods that happened in Texas recently. More on that in the post linked in the next comment…
@MagneticReversal
For a pertinent map and links to data:
https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxDeBjKpgFwBLl6leS9wvs_vTpe8tpUIS8
What about the beavers that once populated that land and slowed the waters that flow there? What impact has their absence (due to fur trapping) created for flash floods today?
A single beaver pond holds an estimated 1.1 million gallons of water and recharges underlying aquifers with an even greater amount of water.
Upon European arrival to North America, as many as 65 million beaver dams strung together waterways and hydrated landscapes.
Beaver fur was prized by Europeans for its texture and used to make some of the finest hats known to the Western world.
This spawned the beaver fur trade that spread throughout North America in the 1500s and would eventually become one of the continent’s main economic drivers.
By the 1900s, the beaver population was nearly extirpated – only 100,000 remained from the estimated 400 million pre-colonial beaver population.
As a result of the fur trade, the lower 48 states lost ~ 1 million acres of wetlands that were created and maintained by beavers.
In the Intermountain western states, wetlands host 80% of the region’s biodiversity, yet these spongy oases only comprise 2% of the land area.
Beavers support a vast web of life. Without beavers, the quintessential keystone species, this intricate web unravels.
Beyond being a boon to biodiversity, beavers are adept hydrological engineers.
Their dams hydrate landscapes better than best human-conceived hydrological projects at virtually no cost to build or maintain.
Beavers dams slow and spread water across the landscapes.
The weight of the ponded water presses deep into the soil surface and pushes its way through cracks in the bedrock, eventually feeding aquifers and replenishing groundwater.
Two of the most significant agricultural regions in the US largely rely on groundwater.
The Great Plains represents 30% of all animal and crop production in the US, and California’s central valley represents ~ 25% of the nation’s food production.
As the aquifers underlying the Great Plains and the Central Valley continue to drop rapidly with little to no recharge, beavers and their water wizardry are overlooked and even vilified.
What would our landscapes look like if we worked to welcome beavers back into the very riparian systems they created?

Could you elaborate on the last part and provide any documentation of that? Thanks.
I ask as the story that says indigenous people were already dealing with plagues and “diminished” prior to European invasion seems like a very convenient telling of events for anyone that might be a proponent of Doctrine Of Discovery thinking.
Regarding the choice you present above, you are obviously correct about the second option and spiritual implications.
I would also point out that I do not think technology was what corrupted the cultures of Turtle Island as much as it was the Matrix Steak that was introduced to this land ( https://open.substack.com/pub/corbettreport/p/reportage-book-launch?r=q2yay&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web×tamp=848.5&showWelcomeOnShare=false )
There were cultures here that gained access to metal tools that would have enabled more swift clearcutting of forests and mass murdering of various animals yet the indigenous people did not begin engaging in that sort of behavior until the thing called money was introduced to the equation.
For some additional context on that, I offer you the observations of an indigenous intellectual from the 1600-s on money and its impact on human psychology and cultures as a whole.
When Europeans arrived to Turtle Island, they encountered very different societies than those they were accustomed to. Those societies had very different cultures, each with their own intellectual tradition.
The collision of two completely separate intellectual traditions led to the creation of an indigenous critique of European society, which Graeber and Wengrow call The Indigenous Critique.
The Indigenous Critique refers to critiques of European society which were developed by Turtle Islanders.”
In a book called “The Dawn Of Everything” Elizabeth Whitworth explains:
“In the late 1600s, European colonists in North America became engaged in philosophical discussions with the indigenous peoples of that land. Some of the indigenous people and the colonists learned to speak one another’s languages fluently. Graeber and Wengrow explain that the native North Americans had strong philosophical traditions and skilled orators who challenged European colonial officials in debates.”
(continued in another comment..)
(..continued form comment above)
In some cases, indigenous intellectuals travelled to Europe in order to study and understand feudal society. One such person was a Huron-Wendat leader named Kondiaronk, also known as Le Rat, who seems to have impressed everyone he ever met with his great brilliance.
Whitworth continues:
“In New France, Wendat leader Kandiaronk raised scathing critiques of European social customs and values, particularly criticizing monarchical rule, social hierarchies, emphasis on the accumulation of wealth and materialism, and punitive justice systems. These descriptions then made their way back to Europe, where they were widely distributed among the intellectual class and, Graeber and Wengrow argue, became the inspiration for much Enlightenment thought.
One of the major cultural differences the Europeans and indigenous people found they had was the notion of gift economics, equality and its connection to freedom. Indigenous ideas about sharing abundance with those in need, equality and freedom directly conflicted with the European notions of selfish materialism, social status and a natural hierarchy.
Beyond the emphasis of the indigenous critique on the immorality of the hierarchical and involuntary governance structures (Statism) that was prevalent in Europe (and being imported to Turtle Island with the settlers/colonial peoples) many of the people who called Turtle Island home were also very critical of the lack of compassion, generosity and charity which was ubiquitous in the European’s way of living.
After visiting France and then returning to the Eastern Woodlands of Turtle Island Kondiaronk (the Wendat chief described above) offers this distillation of the indigenous critique:
“I’ve spent six years thinking about the state of European society and I still can’t think of a single one of your ways that isn’t inhumane, and I sincerely believe that it can only be because you stick to your distinctions of ‘mine’ and ‘yours’.
I affirm that what you call money is the devil of devils; the tyrant of the French, the source of all evil; the scourge of souls and the slaughterhouse of the living. To imagine that one can live in the land of money and preserve one’s soul is like imagining that one can preserve one’s life at the bottom of a lake. Money is the father of luxury, lasciviousness, intrigue, deceit, lies, betrayal, insincerity, all the worst behaviors in the world. Fathers sell their children, husbands their wives, wives betray their husbands, brothers kill each other, friends are false, and all for money. In light of all this, tell me that we Wendat are not right to refuse to touch or even look at money?”
(continued in another comment..)
(..continued from comment above)
Kandiaronk continues, explaining human qualities valued by the Wendat by saying:
“Over and over I have set forth the qualities that we Wendat believe ought to define humanity – wisdom, reason, equity, etc. – and demonstrated that the existence of separate material interests knocks all these on the head. A man motivated by interest cannot be a man of reason. “
Kandiaronk’s view was that the greed, poverty, and crime found in French society arise from lust for money (an expression of their scarcity based economic model). By refusing to deal with money (and instead continuing to develop a reciprocal connection to nature’s gift economy), the Wendat were able to live in freedom and equality (with enough to share with those in need).
Kandiaronk:
“Do you seriously imagine, he says, that I would be happy to live like one of the inhabitants of Paris, to take two hours every morning just to put on my shirt and make-up, to bow and scrape before every obnoxious galoot I meet on the street who happened to have been born with an inheritance? Do you really imagine I could carry a purse full of coins and not immediately hand them over to people who are hungry; that I would carry a sword but not immediately draw it on the first band of thugs I see rounding up the destitute to press them into naval service?”
At that time, the region that came to be known as New France (now Ontario, Quebec and part of the US) was inhabited largely by speakers of Montagnais-Naskapi, Algonkian and Iroquoian (Potawatomi) languages. Those closer to the coast were often fishers, foresters and hunters, though most also practiced horticulture (and regenerative agro-forestry); the Wendat (Huron), concentrated in major river valleys further inland, growing maize, squash and beans around fortified towns.. with advanced regenerative agroforestry food production systems (for reference: https://open.substack.com/pub/gavinmounsey/p/shagbark-hickory-carya-ovata?r=q2yay&selection=2eb7e32b-2e5f-4101-8c58-4af6ef181f15&utm_campaign=post-share-selection&utm_medium=web&aspectRatio=instagram&textColor=%23ffffff ) further beyond their three sisters fields.
..While French assessments of the character of (what they described as) ‘savages’ tended to be decidedly mixed, the indigenous assessment of French character was distinctly less so.
(continued in another comment..)
(continued from comment above)
Father Pierre Biard, for example, was a former theology professor assigned in 1608 to evangelize the Algonkian-speaking Mi’kmaq in Nova Scotia, who had lived for some time next to a French fort.
Biard did not think much of the Mi’kmaq, but reported that the feeling was mutual:
“They consider themselves better than the French: “For,” they say, “you are always fighting and quarrelling among yourselves; we live peaceably. You are envious and are all the time slandering each other; you are thieves and deceivers; you are covetous, and are neither generous nor kind; as for us, if we have a morsel of bread we share it with our neighbor.” They are saying these and like things continually.’“
What seemed to irritate Biard the most was that the Mi’kmaq would constantly assert that they were, as a result, ‘richer’ than the French. The French had more material possessions, the Mi’kmaq conceded; but they had other, greater assets: ease, comfort and time.
Twenty years later Brother Gabriel Sagard, a Recollect Friar,” wrote similar things of the Wendat nation. Sagard was at first highly critical of Wendat life, which he described as inherently sinful (he was obsessed with the idea that Wendat women were all intent on seducing him), but by the end of his sojourn he had come to the conclusion their social and economic arrangements were in many ways superior to those at home in France.
In the following passages he was clearly echoing Wendat opinion:
“They have no lawsuits and take little pains to acquire the goods of this life, for which we Christians torment ourselves so much, and for our excessive and insatiable greed in acquiring them we are justly and with reason reproved by their quiet life and tranquil dispositions.”
Much like Biard’s Mi’kmaq, the Wendat were particularly offended by the French lack of generosity to one another:
‘They reciprocate hospitality and give such assistance to one another that the necessities of all are provided for without there being any indigent beggar in their towns and villages; and they considered it a very bad thing when they heard it said that there were in France a great many of these needy beggars, and thought that this was for lack of charity in us, and blamed us for it severely.’

@G
“Have you done any research into the pre-colonial status of the forests of the region where you live?”
I have not. All the logging industry here, as far I’ve seen, only clearcuts and leaves – they don’t plant anything at all. The property owners sell the timber, and let the scarred land grow back on its own. I’m surrounded by that, see it done all over the place.
There are some massive old trees here, though. Many on my property, old pines with long, low hanging branches that are ideal for harvesting catkins (or pollen, however one prefers).
@MagneticReversal
Thanks for the candid response and I am so glad to hear you have some massive old trees on your property.
RE:
“All the logging industry here, as far I’ve seen, only clearcuts and leaves – they don’t plant anything at all.”
Well, in some ways that is better than what they often do here in “Canada” as the logging corporations here usually plant monocultures of one species to replace the biodiverse old growth forests they have just decimated for short term profits, the result is a brittle tree plantation that is like a pile of matches waiting for a lightning strike to start it.
At least if a forest is allowed to regenerate from existing seeds in the soil post clearcut the tree species distribution will end up making more sense for that region and the wildlife there (not that much survives a clearcutting operation, but in the future when life returns).

“In addition to not being to hard on the “Gringos”, would you consider Spaniards to be “Gringos” ?”
Yes, unequivocally. The Spaniards were no darker skinned than the French prior to the Moorish invasion. But they don’t like to discuss this…
__________
“What type of pines do you have on your property?”
Mostly Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), all of the largest ones are of this variety. They are perfectly spaced, perfectly situated in relation to the presence of water. They do prevent some of my garden areas from receiving full sunlight, but that doesn’t seem to impact the health or harvest of anything. And the pollen (androgenic supplement) from these huge, old Pinus trees is the most potent I’ve ever tried.
I was surprised that you didn’t mention pine pollen in your recent interview on hormonal health. Here’s a primer:

“Did you see my in depth article on Pines in the context of Regenerative Agroforestry on my blog?”
No, please post a link (if you already did, I missed it…)
Do you have any tips on how to discourage beavers from killing trees? I’ve almost lost several of those old growth Loblollies from beavers chewing on them. They don’t cut them all the way down, not on my property, but they chew the hell out of them. I’ve put chain link and other types of fencing material around trees, but that doesn’t stop them. I’ve been vegetarian for over half my life, for spiritual and ethical reasons, so killing is not something I take lightly. The beavers here are too numerous to count – lakes, not rivers – and I’ve got half a dozen freshly chewed trees, all pines. The last string of such instances was many years ago, but my neighbors greatly reduced their population in this local area. Their numbers are swelling again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
@MagneticReversal
Thanks for the comprehensive response.
RE: Spanish Gringos.
That is fascinating, considering that our AI overlords at Wikipedia describe the etymological roots of the term by stating:
“The term “gringo” likely originates from the Spanish word “griego,” meaning “Greek.” It’s believed that in Spanish, “hablar en griego” (to speak in Greek) was used to describe someone speaking in an incomprehensible language, similar to the English idiom “it’s all Greek to me.” Over time, “griego” evolved into “gringo,” and the term was used to refer to foreigners, particularly those who spoke English with an accent. ”

Thanks for introducing me to a species of pine I was unfamiliar with until I read this comment. Do Loblolly Pines produce seeds of a size worth harvesting for culinary uses?
RE: “I was surprised that you didn’t mention pine pollen in your recent interview on hormonal health.”
Glad you mentioned the male reproductive health enhancing benefits of Pine Pollen. I did list it in the article that my interview with JC was based on, but I agree it would have been worth mentioning (alas, I had compiled a very Very long list of items and info and it is hard to keep all that on tap in one’s conscious mind in an on the fly conversation).
Here is the link to the particular part of my article on reproductive health that mentioned Pine Pollen.
https://open.substack.com/pub/gavinmounsey/p/fertility-and-reproductive-health?r=q2yay&selection=ca3f736d-1ed8-48b3-8643-74e7bc4e38cb&utm_campaign=post-share-selection&utm_medium=web&aspectRatio=instagram&textColor=%23ffffff
I have the blessing of working with a range of different pine species that are young and bushy (landscaping sized) so lots of pollen at easy harvesting height in spring at my day job.
I would gladly accept a bottle of your southern pine pollen if you can spare some. I will trade you for heirloom seeds from my garden that can do well in part sun.

Re : My in depth article on Pines in the context of Regenerative Agroforestry
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/pine-nobles-of-the-global-woodlands
There are some fun ideas in there for enjoying your pollen harvests and I would love to hear what you think of the pine needle and pine seed recipe ideas as well.
RE: Beavers chewing on the pine trees.
I have not dealt with that specific challenge myself so i`ll confer with a few peers that create food forests in beaver territory and get back to you. Here in “southern Ontario”, humans have killed most of the beavers (and pretty much everything else with four legs aside from deer in the name of “progress”) and so they see beavers as public enemy number 1 (within the context of their endless grid of monoculture farms, strait roads and straitened deep ditches that have taken the place of meandering rivers and creeks) so if I was to ask locals, I imagine their “solutions” would be violent and perhaps involve poisons.
Off the top of my head (and without researching whether or not beavers are susceptible to the irritating effects of capsaicin) what about hot pepper sauce?
I spread that on the trunks of my pawpaw and apple trees when the fruit is ripening (those trees that are out in the open) and when squirrels go to climb the trunk to raid my fruit they touch the pepper sauce and freak out and usually do not come back.
Godda go harvest an epic amount of ripe berries from the garden, more on this later..

@G
I’ve been attracted to the Spanish language and its various cultures since taking Spanish in high school, and when I read the “griego” bit you mentioned, this immediately came to mind:
https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/y%20griega
The Spanish alphabet uses the term “y griega” to verbalize the letter “y.” “Griega” is simply the feminine form of “Griego.” See the article, it requires context to know whether the letter “y” is being discussed, or if the speaker is talking something being particularly Greek (food, etc).
**the term “alphabet” is derived from the first two Greek letters, “alpha, beta.”
**the first two Hebrew letters are “aleph, bet.”
**both systems are adapted from the Phoenician lettering system
If a culture incorporates the term “Greek” into its lettering system, spelling it out as such, what does that mean? Legit question, I don’t know the minutiae of that history. Not sure anyone living does…
________
Written by Spaniards, on Spanish heritage:
https://sensationalspain.com/spain-ethnicity/
“3. Understanding Spanish Race:
Spanish people’s Race is Mediterranean. This Race was attributed (by science) to the specific physical type of people that were mostly in Southern Europe….”
“The Mediterranean race is one of the variants of the Caucasoid or white Race, which was found in Europe in places such as Italy, Portugal, **GREECE**, and other parts of France. (Italy, Spain, Portugal, southern France, parts of **GREECE**, and Mediterranean islands)…”
“The Mediterranean race extended to North Africa, resulting from a racial mixture of European and African populations….”
“North African (Moroccan)
The foreign nationality with the most significant contribution to Spain is, by far, Morocco, with 872,000 people. But the presence of nationalities such as Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya are also found in Spain. They also share some genetic traits with Southern European people. The religion and culture of North African countries were also affected by the Arabs after the 6th century CE.”
**my contribution – the Moors dominated Spain, in particular and for a long period of time. The Mediterranean race overall, but Spaniards in particular, have darker skin and hair AFTER the occupation than BEFORE that time. In Spanish, many terms, such as “ójala (que)…” are very overt linguistic artifacts of said occupation and influence in that land.
So… Were Spaniards “gringos?”
I’d say, unequivocally…. ¡SÍ!
But, I’m not an expert (thank goodness😆)

I’ve seen this interview (wasn’t sufficiently focused on it) and I’m stil wondering about the point of it. Even if the Rainmaker fella is 100% innocent, does that mean the extra rainfall was not caused by weather enshitification?
Weather “modification” sounds like an euphemism, it implies they know what they are doing and that their goals are not innocenticidal, even.

Horrible.
The wife has been near tears all day.
I don’t think it’s something people could have foreseen either- if it had happened in the day time I think maybe more people would have gotten to higher ground.
It is horrible. So far, the death toll is over 100.
When I was a kid, my brother and I spent two weeks at a summer camp along a river (Frio) about an hour north of Kerrville. (I still have a scar on my knee from camp games.)
I remember the bunkhouse for our age group, and the high school kids who ran things.
The bunkhouses were well away from the river up a hill. However, at 26 feet water rise, those structures would be under water.
In the pitch black dark while sleeping and the water rising 26 feet within a short 30 minutes… …there’s not much time to think or even to project how rapidly the water was rising or the power being unleashed.
Like you said, this type of scenario would have been hard to foresee, especially in the dark.
Homie,
And the building, WTC Bldg. 7 fell due to fires.! Ha!
How many used car dealers were hired to sell that story.
There is a chance at litigation down the road. It will be prohibitively expensive. The partners, the Government/ Private Industry partners have all the evidence sequestered. NOAA, and all the officers who run the supporting apparatus are like the dancing Israeli on 9-11-01. God knows how lucrative their complicity was. These private companies got carte balanche against liability; other than a plane falling out of the sky and killing 50 people in some rural town.

What could go wrong?
I was in San Antonio over the 4th of July Holiday, and I did choose to move my vehicles to higher ground, because there was flooding happening not only in the hill country, but also in San Antonio and surrounding cities.
I was having a conversation about why if how the rainfall was actually less than the catastrophic flooding that happened 80 years ago, why was it so damaging?
My speculation was that the ground was already saturated from the flooding that had happened a few weeks prior.
One also has to take in account that the San Antonio area is one of the most flood-prone areas in the country.
Before I signed any leases or rental agreements, I consulted a flood zone map.
I made sure if I was renting any storage unit, it would be in a climate-controlled building and the space would be on the top floor.
I knew full well I was venturing into a city that experienced occasional flooding.
I planned accordingly.
Although, I am still haunted by the fact that they did not alert campers that the amount of rain that was expected would probably cause a flash flood in the hill country.
I saw a disturbing video of a woman who was caring for her father on hospice, where the flood water rose to such a degree that her father was laying on a sopping wet mattress, (raw sewage) and there was no help for them to evacuate.
Could that have been avoided had the DOGE team not dismantled the safety net in place that provides early warnings?
I get wanting to reduce government spending, or transitioning to a private service to alert residents. I think it could have had a more elegant transition.
I’m staying in San Antonio, though. It’s the most beautiful area of all of Texas. I love it, the most.

QUOTES
The second part of your question needs to be addressed.
You ask, I’m going to use your words, “Who’s to blame?”
Know this:
That’s the word choice of losers.
Let me explain one thing about Texas, and that is Texas – every square inch of our state – cares about football.
You can be in Hunt, Texas, Huntsville, Texas, Houston, Texas. Any size community.
They care about football.
High School, Friday Night Lights, college football, or pro.
And know this:
Every football team makes mistakes.
The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who’s to blame.
The championship teams are the ones that say,
“Don’t worry about it, man. We got this. We’re going to make sure that we go score again and we’re going to win this game.”
The way winners talk is not to point fingers.
They talk about solutions.
What Texas is all about is solutions.
In fact, I want to read you something that I received last night that’s worth emphasizing to put this in context.
“Tragedy has come. That part is done.
What we do now, who we are now – That story is still being written.
Let it be one of grace, of grit, of fierce love in the face of grief.
Let it be the kind of story that proves that the Hill Country may flood, but it does not fail.
Say what you will about Texas, but when the rivers rise, so do we.
Not with blame, not with bitterness, but with boots on the ground, arms around strangers and hearts wide open.
That’s the Texas I know.
And that’s the America that I believe in.”
What this person wrote is what I know is true for all Texans.
Homie,
Thanks for posting this. I’m not being funny here. I’m serious.
What the hell is he saying? What the hell is he meaning?
Can you translate? He sounds a lot like scrub brush bush. The legal teams are coming is what it sounds like.
The media (which is mostly left) tries to denigrate and find fault with any Republican controlled area. The media was straining to assign blame and to focus attention only ‘who did what wrong’.
The focus of attention urgently needed to be directed towards finding and helping victims and cleaning up the area. Not on finger pointing.

The (full) recipe linked above is an upgraded and enhanced version of a recipe from an earlier version my book.
I hope this helps you use up all those garden harvests while trying something fun this summer.
Enjoy! 🙂
Hello, Brother Gavin!
I need your help. I planted an heirloom cucumber seed here, and the fruits are all turning out yellow!
What does that mean when your cucumber are yellow? Too much sunshine?
Cleetus
@NohMaskChannel
Hey brother!
Well, depending on variety, yellow cukes can mean they are going past ideal harvesting/eating stages and into mature (seed maturation) stages of fruit development or it can be a nutrient deficiency in the context of younger fruit.
Do you think some of the cukes could have grown past being green without you noticing and become over-mature? Or have you kept a close eye on them and found they were yellow when smaller and forming?
Thanks for reaching out and I hope this helps.
Gavin,
I wanted to show you this cool stat about people who are savvy in the Nutritional Sciences.

Computer Engineering Grads Face Double The Unemployment Rate Of Art History Majors
https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/computer-engineering-grads-face-double-unemployment-rate-art-history-majors
That’s interesting, but to make this go full circle, we would need to understand how large a segment of the population is going in these directions.
I’d bet computer stuff people take the official education route (with likely an obscene debt to boot) by the truckload. While there is currently a huge slump in the job market, running on the coattails of the huge bubble from about 3 years ago.
I’d further bet there is substantially less interest in nutricionism (because MacDonalds) formal education so the pressure on the jobs market is also less.
@HRS
Thanks for that homie.
I have never thought of a career path as a “nutritionist” or a job in “nutrition science” (though I have had people suggest I should go get some kind of diploma in that kind of academic pathway of learning so that people that trust fancy titles and shiny framed PHD certificates would hire me to tell them what to eat).
I suppose the fact that I endeavor to learn about how to best use food as medicine (and then help others to be able to do the same through my published works) might result in people seeing me as a “nutritional science professional” or something, but to me it is just what feels right, natural and my way to keep the gift in motion. I honestly have very little interest in acquiring and hording fiat currency (the apparent unspoken goal to strive towards that defines “success” with regards to all forms of “employment” within modern western civilization). I see that money is required for my wife and I to continue to have the modern amenities we have become accustomed to (though I personally would be fine without them) and I see that money is required if we want to remain in the good graces of the organized criminals that claim they are the official authority in this patch of earth and demand their “protection fees”, or else, so I do things that make money for those reasons.
Interestingly, though the stats above seem to indicate that people who are trying to make a living from academic certified nutritional expertise related jobs are very low, on my end (the autodidactic rogue self-published author that strives to teach people to use food as medicine and also learn to grow it themselves) I am seeing an exponential increase in sales of my book and requests for me to do seminars, guided food forest walks, food preservation tutorials and a few requests from local institutions for teaching college kids about regenerative ag. I am seeing so much interest in my book that I will doing a third printing run and second edition soon.
So it would seem that though official authority sanctioned, “trust the expert” institution certified and monetary system quantifiable methods of making a living from educating people about nutrition are at all time lows, the potential for decentralized educators to do the same is on the rise.
While the masses of smart phone and macdonalds addicted, statism enthralled people seem to care less and less about how they treat their bodies, there is also a growing number of people (perhaps a minority, but a solid minority) that are taking decisive action to acquire materials to educate themselves, grow their own food and medicine and help others do the same, this is something I am grateful to be a part of and grateful to witness around me.
Thanks for the comment brother, and thanks for that far out tubing anecdote on the other comment, you brought me back to some crazy (and stupid) stuff we did in canyons and rivers out west when I was younger.
Wishing you gentle rains and abundant harvests

The Torah: A Mechanical Translation
Virtualbookworm.com Publishing, Incorporated, Illustrated, 2019-02-17
Jeff A. Benner
DESCRIPTION
The Mechanical method of translating the Bible is a new and unique style of translating that translates each Hebrew word, prefix and suffix exactly the same way every time it occurs and in the same order as they appear in the Hebrew text. This translation will allow a reader, who has no background in Hebrew, to see the text from a Hebraic perspective, without the interjection of a translator’s theological opinions and bias. As this style of translation also identifies the morphology of each Hebrew word using the English language, it is a useful tool for those who are learning to read Biblical Hebrew.
This translation includes:
An introductory text explaining the background and methodology of the mechanical translation. An introductory text describing the mechanics of the Hebrew language and the history of the Torah. Every Hebrew word of the Torah with its mechanical translation and transliteration. A “revised” translation for each verse that rearranges the text so that it is understandable to English readers. Over 1,000 footnotes on the Hebrew grammar, idioms and alternate translations and meanings. A lexicon including every Hebrew word in the Torah arranged by their roots. A concordance to aid the reader in locating specific words within the Torah.
______________
** this is ONLY the Torah, or Pentateuch, the “books of Moses,” only the first five books of the Old Testament, it contains no other books of the Bible:
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
This is an interlinear Torah, with the Hebrew characters of each word followed by the literal root definition of that Hebrew word in English.
Although it does contain a lexicon and concordance, for those who don’t read biblical Hebrew, I recommend taking advantage of the fact that Benner includes the Strong’s Concordance number for each word, and there is a Strong’s index in the back as well.
Using this and similar tools, a person quickly sees that the English versions that most people read are theological constructs, not based on the original text or definitions but rather the result of creating new definitions in order to forge what is essentially a new text and a new religion.
Aside from tools like this, it is necessary to read all the textual traditions that proceeded the 5th-4th century OT, especially from Mesopotamia and Canaan, in order to know the background from which the OT was forged.
If Isra-ÉL originally belonged to ÉL, and ÉL was a Canaanite deity, why wouldn’t a worshipper of the Elohim of Isra-ÉL be exited to learn about this deity’s history prior to the birth of Abram (Abraham)?
Dig in, people.

The enhanced Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English lexicon [with an appendix containing the biblical Aramaic]
Logos Research Systems, Peabody, Mass, 2008, ©1906
Francis Brown, S. R. Driver, Charles A. Briggs
DESCRIPTION
The Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon is an essential reference work for serious Old Testament study. This lexicon (dictionary) provides not only the English equivalents for Hebrew words, but also relates various meanings to specific passages in the OT. The Logos electronic version of BDB is a very special product and unquestionably the most useful version of BDB ever released.
The text has been fully corrected and updated with all changes noted in the addenda et. corrigenda in the print edition. This book represents maximum complexity in minimum pages. The number of Bible links, cross references, popups and jumps far exceeds the average Bible reference book.
For the serious language scholar, the Logos edition of BDB provides “word linking” (from the actual Hebrew and Greek character set) to and from Hebrew and Greek texts and other lexicons. In addition, it provides comprehensive linking through Strong’s Numbers, GK numbers and TWOT making this work totally accessible to the English Bible student.
**This has been considered somewhat of a gold standard in English language Old Testament studies for over a century. Unlike the Mechanical Torah (PDF) I posted earlier, this one is easily found as a fairly inexpensive used book.
____________
This is an analytical concordance, which won’t substitute for a lexicon but is very cleverly organized for the English reader who doesn’t read Hebrew. Very cheap used books and easy to find. Mine does not use the Strong’s Concordance number system, but it should. It’s still an excellent resource, and was written by one of the most important biblical scholars of recent times.
https://annas-archive.org/md5/33013c2a10a68016e4f4cce33eefc7fd
Young’s Analytical concordance to the Bible : containing about 311,000 references subdivided under the Hebrew and Greek originals with the literal meaning and pronunciation of each : based upon the King James version
**Like Strong’s Concordance, it is based on the English translation of the KJV, which I consider an inferior translation based on inferior manuscripts, but the fact that a reader who knows the English spelling of a Hebrew word can start the search from there – that makes it much more useful for advanced students than the Strong’s, which is basically crystalized into the KJV paradigm.
Testing
I recently tasted the Stanford Prison Experiment and the Covid Experiment during a 2-week harrowing experience at a Calgary hospital where the Unit Doctor systematically recruited around 40 persons from among the Nurses, Students and his Referrals while he relished in the power he held over their future employment and promotions. I felt I was being lynched as I watched good-natured people turn into abusers. For a fortnight, he tried constant fear-mongering to make me take life-long dangerous drugs for age-related chronic conditions that I supposedly had but did not have. I am a healthy person, no medical history, no meds or allergies, surgeries, implants or even a family-doctor. During this hospital-stay, I came to know that Physicians freely invade the privacy of patients without the need of ‘Informed Consent.’ I was alarmed at the amount of his false, inaccurate and defamatory reporting. I believe that patients should ask for their doctors’ notes to ensure the accuracy of their medical history as these notes are passed on via the grape-vine and via the Netscape Browser. It can be scary to know what the doctors are saying via their snitch-lines which could cause misdiagnoses and/or medication-errors. This Doctor often resorted to consults with like-minded colleagues as though he did not have confidence in his skills, learned in med-school. Is this done for liability and insurance-reasons? Some time back, I had accompanied my son to meet a new clinic-doctor who told him that he knew everything about my son, even before we had begun to share the reasons for coming to him, thus shattering trust in the relationship. When the Hospital-Doctor ‘could not control the drugs that went into my body, he relentlessly went after my mind’, through inaccurate and false reporting that he made accessible to all the hospital staff and to all medical personnel via Alberta Health Service. After discharge, I visited two new doctors who told me that ‘they had read my file’. The Physician Regulatory-Body (CPSA) state on their website that the public could be liable for defamation if they publicly announced the names of Doctors. I had come to the ER over a recent concussion but the Unit-Doctor immediately switched my diagnosis to a stroke which implied life-long and costly drugs as compared to concussion-treatments. He also connected his diagnosis to several chronic conditions and their ‘treatments’. On a daily basis, he harassed me to take the Echo-Cardiogram, up to the point of discharge. I had some Predictors of its false-positive results (being a women and non-diabetic), after which I would have been diagnosed for yet another chronic condition. Through false and inaccurate reporting of my statements and those of my son from April 4 – 17, 2025, he tried to prevent my return to home. He made the OT administer the MoCA Cognitive Test while I had a brain-bleed, when I repeatedly told her that I wanted her to stop the testing as I was very drowsy (symptom of TBI). Thnx
After the test, he and the OT used my low score to interpret anything I supposedly ‘said or did’ in order to fulfill the conditions for placement to a LT Facility. Some of the Nurses and Students also added ‘fallacious reporting’. I did manage to escape but my opinion of the Medical-profession has dropped to a new-low. Just wanted to give you all a heads-up, as I do not want others to be traumatized as I was. Some suggestions if you go to an Alberta hospital: Familiarize yourself with the contents of the below-mentioned link:
https://www.agingcare.com/articles/why-a-letter-of-competency-should-be-part-of-every-seniors-legal-file-441176.htm
1) MOST IMPORTANT: Write out the history of the complaint or you will surprised what your verbal account becomes when you read it in the AHS Health Records which arrives around one month after discharge. These fictitious accounts can be amended if you provide proof. I supposedly fell several times during the week prior to going to the hospital but they wanted a doctor’s note as proof of the falls when the falls had not occurred. ‘ Chicken and the Egg.’ My original complaint at the ER was wrongly changed from 1) head-assault to 2) Stroke and Confusion. I was misdiagnosed along with medication-error which was to put me on Blood-Thinners while I had a brain-bleed.
2) Letter of Competency
3) Health Care Consent Act (HCCA)
4) Directive: An order is a prescription for a procedure, treatment, drug or intervention.
5) Elder Law Attorney
6) Last Will and Testament
7) Legal Competency
8) Financial Power of Attorney (Person given this should have Financial knowledge)
9) Health Care Power of Attorney (Person given this should have Medical knowledge)
10) Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order
11) If required, go by ambulance, because it is less likely that the ER can switch the diagnosis, as they did with me.
Thnx
You are wise to minimize their meddling with the wonderful and mysterious healing process. Good luck.
I have avoided their clutches, and it is working great for me. (I am 76 now). But I saw the workings of the ‘Healthcare’ system here in Texas recently when my wife went in with a cancer diagnosis. She is much more susceptible to authority dictates than me. I reckon it is even worse in Canada.
But I am an outlier; I won’t go in, even when it looks like I had a heart attack, or almost bled to death.
I have had success with two strategies. One, pay more attention to signals from my body, and clean up my act. Two, realize and embrace my own eventual physical demise without panic.
I think this missive ties in well with the subject matter. The reality of the situation is that we (much of the world anyway) are coerced into financing a system of arrogant, egotistical death cult members, one which we have to learn how to fight and stay clear of it.

Hi all
I have come to understand the scope of what we face. Through personal and observational experiences. Natural Law, God’s Law, has been subverted by dark occultists, and we, that includes I, fell for it, at least for the 1st 40 years of my life. Since then it has been a journey of discovery , love and hope, but based in REALITY. James is 100% correct, and many others agree, that the present state of human consciousness is not ready for the plug to be pulled on authority. It would be replaced very very quickly by much of the same. 1st revolution is the self, the heart and mind, so we can ACT accordingly.
On a more cheery note, I thought Cleetus was harmless fun, lighten up peeps, light and drak exists, lets enjoy the light moments.
As the theosophists rightly say, “There is no higher religion other than truth.”
I would add obtaining to that sentence.
Fun stuff – enjoyed that small culinary roast quite a bit.
I also have to say, that over the last few years stand-up comedy actually introduces many topics previously only discussed among conspiracy nuts (as the MSM would call us). If you watch any episode of Kill Tony and such like formats, quite some topics come up in a perspective quite different from the mainstream one (be that 9/11, elite-pedocriminality, the scamdemic, etc.).
Thank you, wolfgang.
Dear Mr. Corbett,
I am a paid subscriber. And because I essentially pay your bills, I take great offense by your taking time off with Broc, Shaun and this extremely unfunny Cleetus person and posting this pabulum. So get back to war, strife and MY oppression – things that concern ME! That’s what I pay you for.
Really appreciate you combating the face muzzles in Japan.
I’m not in Japan but I’ve been watching 4K walk videos of Japan for years.
It sickened me to see nearly everyone wearing them; even in parks and remote locations like forest trails & shrines, and even well beyond the point when nearly all of the rest of the world had broken free of the spell.
Throughout the scamdemic, the muzzles were never given sufficient focus considering that they were, IMO, the foundation and springboard for every other element of the scamdemic.
Even amongst truth researchers & freedom defenders, there was frequently just an awkward silence when the subject was brought up, presumably because they were themselves caving to the demand and donning the muzzles instead of fighting back (having deluded themselves into believing it was only a minor concession).
Also want to share this list of possible reasons for the muzzles that I collected throughout the scamdemic. It’s a bit unrefined with some concept overlap/duplication but still a nice varied collection.
Thank you, Animals.
As I write this on 7/8/2025, I estimate that 40% of the population here in Japan is still masking – even in this sweltering heat!! And it’s not just the older population, the TV watchers; masking spans all demographics. You can see kids walking home from elementary school obediently wearing their face muzzels. My blood boils.
I tell you, the COVID PsyOp was executed perfectly in Japan, and The Program is still running. I call it a “program” quite intentionally:
https://odysee.com/@DoctorNoh:4/Zika-Promo-2024-Odysee-High-Quality:6
In my crusade against masking, I started collaborating with a Japanese man whose life was systematically and completely destroyed because he refused to mask up at the start of the Scamdemic. I’m co-authoring a book with him, and we’ll have a Substack to help promote that project very soon.
Ian Miller, the so-called “graph master” and author of Unmasked: the Global Failure of COVID Mask Mandates, has given me the green light to reproduce one of his most impactful graphs about the futility of masking. Link below:
https://x.com/ianmSC/status/1607813423353716738/photo/1
Ian Miller’s Book:
https://www.amazon.com/Unmasked-Global-Failure-COVID-Mandates/dp/1637583761
So my quest to destroy this symbol of Medical Tyranny continues. And I appreciate your support.
Blessings from Japan,
Dr. Noh (aka Cleetus)
I might have good news regarding the muzzle compliance percentage in the form of June & July 4K walk/tour videos showing between 4% and 24% for Osaka and less than 4% for Tokyo.
Saved the Miller graph and love the Zika swap video. Great idea. Might be able to pull it off with the 2009 ‘Swine Flu’ news footage too.
Thanks for being as disgusted by the muzzle farce as I am, for working on that book, and continuing to fight in general.
Inspiring/motivating stuff.
NohMaskChannel,
In no way do you pay James Corbett’s bill.
You blindly donate to art. The artist does the bill paying. You get the art.
Is it art?
Since the elephants in the room all the time you must wonder ” is he an agent of TPTSB” or is he an artist?. Well if he is an agent , to the end, I’m a General. He needs to run all that art by me first.
What he has done is what Picasso set out to do.
Make something that becomes something else. In the magic of it all it turns into a commodity, money. You freely contribute to this art. So …for a buck you expect a Rembrandt? Ohyve!
’twas sarcasm
NohMaskChannel = Cleetus

Agreed.
All around.🫠 Picasso ! Really?

“On July 3, 2025, astronaut Nichole Ayers aboard the International Space Station captured a rare and breathtaking image: a Gigantic Jet bursting upward from a thunderstorm in North America. The high-resolution photograph shows a crimson bolt arcing from the cloudtops toward the edge of space.”
Wish we could post images here…
So – real or fake?
Is space fake?
Is space a simulation, a hologram, a screen, or just spacey space?
Is the ISS a balloon, a complete fabrication, a hovering aircraft, or what the narrative says it is?
If the picture and the vantage point are real, what is happening in this picture?
Looks like Palpatine’s attack on the Republic fleet…
Are the banksters sharing all of your banking transaction data with 3rd parties? This relates to Australia but I can’t see it not happening in other countries. (Disclaimer, I may be misunderstanding the info too so feel free to correct me. 🙂 )
In ING app you can tap on any transaction and it opens “Transaction Details” page.
At the bottom of it there is this text:
“Merchant information is provided by Experian Look Who’s Charging. Found a mistake or missing information in the merchant details? Send them a message”
I googled about Look Who’s Charging and arrived at this(experian.com.au), then this Experian marketing page(https://www.experian.com.au/business/solutions/open-data-solutions).
What is concerning on the last page:
Our comprehensive data, analytics and tools powered by Experian Look Who’s Charging, help provide a more complete and accurate view of your customers’ income, expenses and financial position in real-time, so you can make better decisions across the customer lifecycle.
Accurately analyse your customers’ income and expenses for an instant understanding of their affordability.
We have an unrivalled comprehensive dataset – we process over 7 billion transactions per month with a match rate of over 98% and a response time of less than 0.3 seconds, for accurate and fast insights.
We are trusted by many financial institutions, including Australia’s largest banks
Screenshot(ibb.co) https://ibb.co/TzNCMKL
Also, on press-release page(experianplc.com):
“If a transaction is unable to be categorised accurately, it is often classed as ‘unknown’ which can result in decisions impacting consumers being based on limited data. This can have a big knock on effect if, for example, banks are using one platform to help a customer understand their own income and expenditure, and another to decide what loan they can afford. ….
Over 1 billion transactions are enriched every single month through Look Who’s Charging’s platform to provide Australian consumers complete clarity on their spending.”
So, do banks share transaction-level data with this abomination of a business??
Wasn’t there laws about transaction-level data and privacy?
Hi James,
I’m wondering if you’re working on a documentary?
WW2 would be very interesting.
Like the book I’m reading:
“They thought they were free – The Germans, 1933-45”, Milton Mayer
What about a “Questions for Corbett?”
Or interviewing the lawyers of the prisoned lawyers Reiner Fuellmich (German) and Arno van Kessel (Dutch)?
Or interviewing Martin Armstrong (about the Fed)
Or interviewing Ice Age Farmer? (unshadowed@substack.com)
I still hope, for privacy reasons, that comments will be made private if possible. N-EU-Speak and their agents are hunting, they can just lock you up if you are spreading disinformation, anti-institutional thoughts and extremism (no kidding, it’s on our local CIA’s website AIVD in the Netherlands. Lawyer Arno van Kessel is arrested for this (no proof).
They don’t need to know what we share and say. That’s private.
I would love a ww2 documentary, really, I tried asking James once about book recommendations for ww2 but he never got back to me or did a question for Corbett about it. I don’t blame him really, he’s a busy guy after all. I’ll deffo check out the book you’re reading and would welcome any more recommendations.
Maybe you can start with Ron Unz and his far right holocaust denying point of view.
https://mises.org/podcasts/revisionist-history-war-conference/true-history-world-war-ii
O(h yeah the holocaust is certainly overrated the numbers are super fishy, especially that according to Nuremberg trails, cremation centers seemed to malfunction all the time.
Also I have some older friends who grew up in post-war Poland and according to them the holocaust numbers seemed to change all the time. Like it went from like 60 thousands to 6 million or something like that.
Also a friend from a Jewish family told me that WW2 was all about cleansing the anti-Zionists jews so the pro-zionists could take charge.
I’m also curious how great/small affect had clearly planned and completely sus the titanic indecent on the pre-war period. Like it certainly helped to consolidate power and wealth in a few hands Plus/Minus the weird sacrificial ritual they tried to pull off.
I watched something that terrified me, Chat GPT is becoming a religion and more and a lot of divinity starved people are buying it.

AI is basically a great marketing term for souped up computing.
That was a reasonable claim a very short time ago when every publicly available “AI” didn’t genuinely qualify as AI.
That is no longer the case.
There is now actual AI available to the public.
The question now is: If we’ve now been given access to this AI, what does TPTB have access to and how long have they had access to it?
Years? Decades? Centuries?
Were all the movies & TV shows built around sympathy, fairness and equality for AI created not just because AI was predicted to arrive but rather because it already existed behind the curtains?
What does it take to genuinely qualify as AI?
I would also like to know.
“AI” is a marketing term before everything else.
In this context, artificial intelligence rather than an illusion of artificial intelligence produced through mimicry.
If you’re asking what artificial intelligence is, that’s the sort of thing you can look up.
If you’re asking what I personally think qualifies this thing (whatever is it is that is now regularly showing up on the other end of the ChatGPT terminal), I would say that its qualifier is that its intelligence meets or exceeds the intelligence of the average human.
And, before you ask, no I’m not going to attempt to put into words what composes average human intelligence.
That’s something we average humans tend to know, and can recognize, simply as a result of living on Earth amongst other humans.
With that said, I think it’s safe to say that ‘comprehension’ and ‘problem-solving-ability’ would be present in a meaningful description of average human intelligence.
Well, that was not too satisfying. I thought that you were distinguishing genuine AI from more primitive computing.
At least I still have somewhat of a handle on natural stupidity.
Nobody should be surprised by this development. Least of all ye ole Fact Checker.
Heartening. Thanks for sharing

Clever Churchill quotes
https://youtu.be/ScWzl8DfDFA?si=dKQQmePADBtt1Ub1
I didn’t realize how many of the classics are attributed to him. (you will still be ugly)
My only criticism is that I am irritated by the AI voice, especially when he says how much fun he had making the video.
I also suspect Winston Churchill was not a nice man, and he even had a large role in causing WW11, but that is a separate matter, and I enjoyed the clever and ironic quotes.
I would say Churchill was indeed very nice, when you consider the true meaning of the word.

I liked his wit nonetheless.
So James, since you are emperor of the open source subscriber funded non corporate information gathering cyberspace agora, recognized sovereign of the uncompromized alternative media kingdom respected by free thinkers worldwide, Master of Irish/Anglo literature, graduating with honors from one of the most prostigious institutions of higher learning in the known world, now living in Japan where you began as a humble English teacher living in one a room, cockroach infested hovel with Hokkaido ramen your primary staple, having progressed over 2 decades to a rambling estate in the sunny climes of western Japan highlands…it is you, sir, I must address the following dilemma. As a former physics major, riddle me this: If the bomb dropped on Nagasaki contained plutonium 239, how come the current residents aren’t glowing in the dark? (given the half life of plutonium 239 is 24,000 + years). The explosive device gifted to Hiroshima contained, according to Wiki, uranium 235. Half life – 704 million years before degrading to thorium 231.
What am I missing? I used to ponder this as a nipper, wondering how the two cities could have been rebuilt and populated in such a short time. This question was reintroduced to consciousness recently during an interview with Dr. Lorraine Day (RIP), recorded a few years ago, who scoffed at the notion these were atomic bombs, stating confidently they were in fact “fire bombs” because it is impossible to create an explosion with this nuclear material. The reacton can/must be done slowly to create nuclear power. However, if there is a melt down, different story, the area is contaminated for a long period with radioactivity.
Anyone else want to weigh in on this? Because if this is true, then the stated reason for bombing the shit out of Iran is hooey. Not to mention the nuclear arms race. And everything else. That said, it appears the depleted uranium rained down on Iraq during the second war continues to be responsible for radioactive contamination affecting both soldiers and civilians.
My sleep hasn’t been noticeably affected by this quandry, but still… it would be comforting to know if there is a plausible explanation if the information presented is not somehow flawed.
Also, is it true that fully mature Daikon radish injected with tonkatsu sauce and left to dry in the sun for 12 days can be substituted for a bo staff in hand- to-hand combat?

There are two questionable truths (inside of the scope you have introduced).
1. that THE bomb exists and can be used for what they say it can be used
2. that radiation is as harmful as they claim
To make the Hiroshima reality check, seems likely both of the above have to be lies. Do not forget, that the propaganda at the time required the dropping of THE bomb, as otherwise the Japanese would not surrender.
An obvious question arises: what does it matter to the people whether they have been firebombed on nuked out of existance? I would say, not much.
To make the Chernobyl reality check, number 2 above neeeds to be false.
To make the Iran, Cold war reality check, we need to undersrand Iran likely needs to be bombed just as Japan needed to be bombed. Not at all. All of these “threats” are there for one and one reason alone: to induce fear. They are not doing this for money but for power that arises in the vacuum when a scared and scared population retreats.
Hmmm
Wao, sorry guys, the only thing I have to say here is: Thank you James and Cleetus for such a great laugh!!
Haven’t had one of those for a while. What a character! Very unusual but once every now and then, why not!
Thank you James, this was really good.
Ok. I’ve gone through the search function and can’t find anything on Sino-Japanese war. Is this something you have ever researched James? Thinking since you live in Japan it might be something you would be interested in and may have researched.
The reason I ask – from the very little I know about Japanese martial arts the starting point is always to avoid combat by any means necessary, it is only ever used as a very last resort. From everything I hear about the Sino-Japanese war the Japanese are portrayed as brutal slayers of the Chinese. This seems totally at odds with anything else one learns about the Japan and its culture (maybe I know too little) as opposed to say what one hears about the millions starved to death in China by Mao and all the rest of the overt history of oppression by the regime.
Would love to hear thoughts on this.

Very enlightening.
“….Helena Blavatsky….”
Spook, satanist, and fairy godmother of the NWO.
Now brought to you by Manly AI voice…..loverly.
Her theosophy spawned a lot of revolting offshoots, almost all focused on NWO objectives- most notably the Lucis (formerly Lucifer) Trust which sits in the UN World Council of Churches.
Iirc they even maintain the creepy meditation room at UN hq.
You would literally consume less evil drinking coffee made from Pol Pots bones then listening to anything that demoniac had to say…..I have heard that Love craft lifted a lot of her work for his Cuthulu stuff, but I don’t read that trash either so who knows?
Haha, well put! “ You would literally consume less evil drinking coffee made from Pol pot’s bones…
The writing prompts & Reddit comments of middle-school children & Dharavi dung shovelers can now be converted into revenue-generating ‘documentaries’ while you sleep.
Thanks for that, Lumen. For anyone interested in Blavatsky, go to archive.org and type in her name. Under “Blavatsky’s Lectures” there is a wealth of material.
One knight
Why would anyone want to read her stuff except as Opposition research?
She was a literal spook, self professed satanist and guiding light of the NWO types of her day…her Theosophical offshoots literally sit in the UN Council of churches and a ton of Fabian’s and others were into her in the day
What would anyone gain from reading her work except an insight into a demoniac or some spook cultism? That group still walks hand in hand with the NWO agenda
I guess she does drive home the point that the NWO is a centuries old project, though thats best shown in Prof. Spence’s book “secret agent666” about Crowley.

@GBW
My tree spidey senses made me load this page and I found your comment here. Thanks for the heads up brother.
You know it is funny I just yesterday was invited to a small patch of old growth about 50 km from where I live by a farmer that listened to one of my presentations at a horticultural society meeting on the ancient regenerative agroforestry practices of the pre-colonial peoples of this area and guess what he has growing in his little patch of (never logged) Carolinain Old Growth?
You guessed it, American Chestnut.
The trees present there are mostly multi-stemmed 30-40 feet trees growing from “suckers” (shoots that regenerated from the large roots after the blight got the mother tree) but there are several taller, healthy, middle aged intact specimens there that are producing nuts. Those are extremely rare and important trees if they were/are resistant to the blight and I am gonna be going back to collect seeds this fall.
The fact that those dam mad scientists are tryna release GMO trees is really annoying.
Those GMO trees might be able to cross pollinate and they would certainly contaminate and weaken the original genetics.
GMO Bold predictions! Dismal outcomes.

Non-GMO beans for Manitoba eh? Sounds good but I think relying on those hundred thousand acre farms in the prairies for food is a bad call either way. People managing that much land cannot form an intimate reciprocal connection with the land, how can they? It would take them all year to walk just a portion of the land and check on the soil using their senses. So they use machines, and then, they use AI and robots and next thing you know some big AG chatGPT is growing your food for you. Maybe an Amish prairie bean farmer, ya I might buy some beans from them..
I have been “introducing” non-GMO soybeans (and a great many other non-GMO beans and seeds of other sorts on a wide spectrum) to people from the plains and all over for a while now. They are creating pockets of genetic diversity and resilience, hyper-localized caches of experience, place based knowledge and non-fiat compatible generational wealth. That is something that gives me hope.
Thanks for the heads up on this stuff brother, and thanks for giving the seeds I sent you a home to set up shop down south.
Good show! Fitting I was some extent sudsed up to witness it. This is also only My second time seeing a sub-only video on this site. I’ve been telling people that this is My favorite podcast for over 11 years now. It’s gratifying to see You loving life, James! Don’t let the geopolitirati bastards grind You down!

CROSSWINDS IN THE MESOSPHERE: On July 10th, photographer Peter Rosén of Stockholm, Sweden, captured an extraordinary time-lapse video of noctilucent clouds (NLCs) rippling across the northern sky. At first glance, the scene is familiar—silvery tendrils flowing like smoke above the horizon. But take a closer look:
https://youtu.be/nO1ct4Y6IN4?si=cmSfxNvrN0xuFtWK
There are two distinct layers of clouds moving in different directions, stacked one atop the other.
“This is new to me,” says Rosén, who has been watching NLCs over Sweden for the past 20 years. “There are two layers moving in opposite directions, but also interfering and creating interesting patterns.”

Fascinating, though who knows what to believe in videos with all the AI fakery now a days..
Hey I was re-reading a great book on trees recently (for the third time) and when I came across a section that pertains to how deforestation directly correlates to the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field I immediately thought of you.
The quote below is from a book titled “The Spirit of Trees: Science, Symbiosis, and Inspiration” by Fred Hageneder (from the chapter titled “Trees, Electricity and Magnetism”).
Here is a link to a post I did reviewing the book which has pictures of the pages quotes below that show images of the earth’s magnetic field in relation to the remaining old growth forests at the time of publication:
https://open.substack.com/pub/gavinmounsey/p/thespiritofthetrees-book-club-review?r=q2yay&selection=104be566-46ae-4165-8bd4-f38cc5bb02db&utm_campaign=post-share-selection&utm_medium=web&aspectRatio=instagram&textColor=%23ffffff
“Maintaining the Earth’s magnetic field
Trees are not only occasional lightning conductors but continuously discharge air electricity. Every electrical conductor creates an electromagnetic field around itself while an electrical current flows through it. The electromagnetic fields of trees are rather weak, but not insignificant. According to the laws of Physics the electromagnetic fields of electrical conductors amplify each other when they are parallel, and have currents running through them in the same direction. This applies to trees as well, and many billions of trees participate in creating and maintaining the Earth’s magnetic field. Our planet is the only solid one within the solar system with a real magnetic field, apart from Mercury which has an extremely weak one.
Rainer Fischer, who discovered these relationships in 1986, says: The electromagnetic fields of huge forests affect the outer core of the Earth, which has a very high electrical conductibility. Through the tidal drag of the Earth’s crust the core spins somewhat faster. The electromagnetic influence of the forests is conducted through magnetic fields in the core where it induces electrical currents, thus in turn creating magnetic fields. In this way the vegetation has a charging effect on the Earth’s magnetic field, orientated to the geographic pole.
This becomes evident by the correlation between the density of vegetation and the declination of the Earth’s magnetic field. The declination, or deviation between the magnetic pole and the rotation pole, should theoretically be a simple, mathematically calculable figure. But in reality it is very different from that. What is noticeable is that in the great forests of the earth, the deviation is zero, the compass needle pointing to true north. (Fischer 1994)…
(..continued in another comment)
(..continued from comment above)
…Above the poles there are deep gorges in the magnetic field where the greatest amount of cosmic radiation enters, some of which is visible as the northern lights.
Science previously had no sufficient explanation for what sets the electrical currents in motion in the first place.
Again Fischer:
Many theories have been developed to answer this question. But the simplest, the electromagnetic effect of countless parallel vegetable electrical conductors has been overlooked completely. (Trendwende 1987, 1-2, 1)The strength of the Earth’s magnetic field is dependent on the density of the vegetation. When the vegetation retreats the magnetic field strength of the Earth decreases. Today, exactly this is revealing itself to a high degree (Trendwende 1987, 3-4, 2)
Previous theories of Earth’s self-maintaining magnetic field contain central contradictions. A simple law of physics states that every magnet has its highest intensity at its poles and its lowest at its Equator, but this is not the case with Earth.The point of highest intensity in the northern hemisphere is presently located more than 1,500 miles (2,500 km) south of the magnetic pole, above the last extensive forest areas of Canada.
The northern hemisphere possesses a second point of even higher intensity, again above large woodlands in Siberia. Only in Antarctica, where hardly any vegetation occurs near the South Pole, do magnetic pole and highest intensity meet.- Lowest total intensity is then expected at the Equator. It does not occur above the tropical rain forests, but at a latitude of 35°S where most continents and their vegetation end.
Continuous examinations report a drastic decrease in the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field that parallels global deforestation. Since measurements began in 1838, total global intensity has dropped by ten per cent. A decrease of just one per cent can cause an increase in neutron radiation at sea level of two per cent, and at high altitudes of four percent.
With the clear felling (clearcutting) of woodlands Man is bringing about the decline of the Earth’s magnetic field which, with the magnetosphere, creates the planet’s only effective protective shield against hard particle radiation from the Sun and the cosmos.”
@MagneticReversal
Based on your research and the info above pertaining to the connection between deforestation and the strength of the Earth’s geomagnetic field, would you say that there could be a connection between deforestation and “the ongoing magnetic reversal” ?
If what the author says about the role of deforestation of old growth and the maintenance of the field strength of the Geomagnetic field of the Earth is accurate, it would explain a lot regarding how strongly recent CME-s have influenced the global telecommunications infrastructure. It would also provide a sort of species scale “Karma” for the hubris of the age of endless “sustainable development” in that if we keep chopping down all the last few remaining ancient forests there will come a time when solar storms will not only mess with our tech, but will also impact our health and shorten our lives as human beings that are biologically incapable of protecting ourselves from the harmful cosmic radiation emitted from the sun and other interstellar x-ray and gamma ray sources.
@G
RE:
“If what the author says about the role of deforestation of old growth and the maintenance of the field strength of the Geomagnetic field of the Earth is accurate…”
I must first say that there’s a disconnect between his claims and or assumptions about planetary magnetic fields in general. This from the excerpt you posted:
“This applies to trees as well, and many billions of trees participate in creating and maintaining the Earth’s magnetic field. Our planet is the only solid one within the solar system with a real magnetic field, apart from Mercury which has an extremely weak one.”
**inaccurate☝️**
Venus has a “real” magnetic field, but it’s about 10% the strength of Earth’s.
Perhaps the author doesn’t want to get off “into the astronomical weeds,” but the truth of the matter is that Venus allegedly has what is called an “induced” magnetic field, while that of Earth is called an “intrinsic” magnetic field. One is just as real as the other.
https://www.jhuapl.edu/news/news-releases/210603-Solar-Orbiter-unveils-new-details-Venus-magnetosphere
“Solar Orbiter found that Venus’ magnetic field extends at least 188,000 miles behind the planet — about the distance from Earth to the Moon. That’s small relative to Earth’s magnetotail, which extends more than twice that distance. Despite the magnetic field’s size and instability, Solar Orbiter found it was accelerating particles to over 5 million mph that far from the planet.”
Real, measurable, and massive.
And I’m not sure if the author was aware of this:
https://newspaceeconomy.ca/2024/02/05/the-magnetic-fields-of-moons-in-the-solar-system/?amp=1
“Ganymede: The Moon with its Own Magnetic Field
Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system and another of Jupiter’s satellites, stands out for having its (own) intrinsic magnetic field, unique among moons. This magnetic field is likely generated by a dynamo effect, similar to Earth’s, indicating a partially liquid iron or iron-sulfide core. Ganymede’s field creates a mini-magnetosphere within Jupiter’s magnetosphere, a phenomenon not observed with any other moon.”
There don’t appear to be any trees on Ganymede, much less forests. At least not both aboveground and visible.
Again, from the above excerpt:
“….trees participate in creating and maintaining the Earth’s magnetic field…”
**inaccurate**
Trees did not, and do not, “create” Earth’s magnetic field. They are a part of the bounty of Earth’s magnetic field. It’s a chicken/egg dynamic, in that respect. Had there been no magnetic field in place, no trees would have been able to grow and spread in the first place.
Is the biological life on Earth, including and even especially the great forests, involved in a dynamic feedback loop, a symbiotic relationship, with the magnetic field? Absolutely. But, even without any trees, the magnetic field would exist, as on Ganymede.
@MagneticReversal
Thanks very much for the detailed response(s).
I am glad you brought up the magnetic fields of other planets and moons that (to the best of our knowledge) do not have any trees or vegetation on them.
Re: “There don’t appear to be any trees on Ganymede, much less forests. At least not both aboveground and visible.”
Could it be that while dynamics that are separate from, and pre-date trees existing on a planet/moon result in the creation of a geomagnetic field, the nature, structure and behavior of that EMF is significantly influenced by trees subsequently becoming prevalent?
RE: “Is the biological life on Earth, including and even especially the great forests, involved in a dynamic feedback loop, a symbiotic relationship, with the magnetic field? Absolutely. But, even without any trees, the magnetic field would exist, as on Ganymede.”
That seems logical to me, if accurate, the question then becomes, to what degree is human biology dependant on the tree based “symbiotic relationship” influenced and maintained variables of the Earth’s EMF? Or, in other words, obvious food source prerequisite variables aside, could humans live on the surface of the planet on the Earth in a time before any vegetation began influencing the EMF of the earth?
The book I quoted above was published 25 years ago, so it is likely the author has learned a lot since then, and may have different views on some of the things you bring up (given all we have learned about the universe since then).
I appreciate the both scientific and spiritual assessment of this subject matter and the larger cycles we find ourselves living in.
2/2
And I’m not sure why the author is focusing only on the so called “solid” planets, but it does make his argument sound a little more coherent because the planet with the strongest magnetic field in our solar system is Jupiter, followed by the other “gas giants.” It’s no coincidence that the planets closest to the Sun have the thinnest atmospheres. The solar wind is responsible for that. That’s why Venus’s electromagnetic field follows it like a comet’s tail (as predicted by Velokovsky before the instruments for measuring such things were invented).
https://www.universeofparticles.com/2024/06/13/magnetic-field-strengths-of-planets/
(This is not the standard “dynamo model,” but of a plasma cosmology or electric universe model, which matches observations far better and with less guesswork involved – always attractive to someone who asks too many questions!)
“The plasma currents are in turn driven externally by the Birkeland currents that also produce the auroras at the poles. Everything is in the end connected to the Sun and the plasma current that drives the entire solar system.”
“The plasma model for planetary magnetic fields can be used to make predictions related to the strength of magnetic fields. This is unlike the dynamo hypothesis which can only be used retrospectively. The dynamo can only be inferred from measurements of the magnetic field. It cannot be used to predict anything, and is therefore useless as a predictive model.”
So, as far as deforestation *causing* any magnetic reversal – I don’t think that’s how it has ever worked in the past, on Earth or anywhere else.
But, could patterns of deforestation *influence* the path taken by, or the pace of, one or another magnetic pole during an excursion or reversal already in progress? I don’t see why not.
Our cosmic environment is the cause of our home’s viability and volatility (and the evolution of life here, hence the Yuga Cycle). The Sun determines our climate. The Sun determines most of what happens in the solar system. The Sun is also in a larger environment and is itself responding to influences greater than itself. There is structure in our greater environment – the Cosmic Web, made of Birkeland currents. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has it’s own magnetic field. THAT is far and away the most powerful influence on our Sun, which is in turn far and away the most powerful influence on Earth. Trees are a formidable player, but pretty far down in the chain of events, when compared to what is above and surrounding ALL of us.
But, I do see ALL of this as playing out in accordance with the Yuga Cycle. It tests us and grades us. To say that it’s all our responsibility is like blaming a kindergartner for the failure of the public school system he was thrust into. Just as colonization was integral to our education, so is all the rest. We pay individually for how we respond.

let’s talk about climate change vs habitat destruction due to human activity which leads to climate change.
So we got the politicized climate change with all those temperature and CO2 models and whatever weather is called climate change today. Which is complete bollock.
On the other hand you got real habitat destruction which can lead to floods, fires and other extreme weather conditions. Stuff that can be fixed with restoring native habitats like tempered rainforests, bogs and wetlands, which would require almost no work from humans, just let nature be nature.
Like for example it could be nice if we could get rid of the carefully engineered lawn culture and embrace bio-diversity instead.
It would be welcome if people would perform some work to undo the damage caused.
But yes, this would be the actual damage caused to the environment.
@YuriTopia Enjoyer
There are allegedly 8 billion people on this planet.
Getting the other billions who would oppose your suggestions (somewhere between 5-7.5 billion probably?) to go along with the program – that’s not only A LOT of work and human effort, but it’s basically the same as the ostensible reason for “Sustainable Development,” and the best running excuse for a global government/governance structure.
Tell people they have to change their standards of living, their lifestyles, make compromises, give up their high tech gadgets that require extensive mining, processing, shipping, assembly, more shipping….
8 billion people, many of whom are addicted to the “modern age,” cannot maintain that lifestyle without making huge concessions. This would require a global governance of some sort.
And I’m not cool with that.
The brainwashing has to go.
How to deprogram billions of people without violating their sovereignty? How to provide the remedy without becoming the monsters we seek to rid ourselves of?
When people set out to “save the world/planet,” they inevitably do just the opposite.
When will people recognize this?
BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE.
Anything beyond that leads to tyranny and more destruction.
People want to “just do something!!” But they’re very reluctant to see the ends.
We, as a species, are not wise enough to undertake such a massive endeavor.
Wisdom first. Then action.
hey, I’m all for compromises and against all of that carbon goals, esg and shit. I am myself somehow addicted to the modern age and all i would really see is to stop overengineering environment (whenever possible and convenient), for example “free rivers” to regularly allow them to flood out whenever they can so you can allow the environment to suck up the water so the river doesn’t flood out in the cities, this extra moisture will also prevent fires and droughts.
Ending farm subsidies would also be helpful, like I’m all for sustainable farming and all.
Well, basically, just end the state.

I appreciate you illuminating the dichotomy between the fake climate change CO-2-centric narratives and how deforestation and soil destruction can lead to severe shifts in climate, weather and localized temperatures.
I just posted a note with a quote from a book on the role of trees in maintaining stable climate and preventing floods in this note on Substack.
https://substack.com/profile/43807786-gavin-mounsey/note/c-134960494
The challenge we face with getting people to become the solution with regards to helping ecosystems that create favorable climate conditions to heal (and/or getting out of the way of their healing naturally) is that so many people are suffering from generational amnesia and shifting baseline syndrome now that few of them have ever experienced the sensation of walking from an open field into an old growth forest (and directly sensing the climate moderating and enriching facets of that ecosystem firsthand).
The central driving factors that created the shifting baseline syndrome and generational amnesia are 1. what our host might describe as “Selling Your Soul For A Matrix Steak” and 2. (what you rightly pointed to in a comment above) Statism.
@YuriTopia Enjoyer

The Discourses of Epictetus: The Handbook, Fragments
https://annas-archive.org/md5/637d0338fa020308d1afbdd58162c0b9
DESCRIPTION
For centuries, Stoicism was virtually the unofficial religion of the Roman world
Yet the stress on endurance, self-restraint and the power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem coldhearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by the Emperor Domitian, who offers by far the most positive and humane version of Stoic ideals…
__________
Chapter 15 (p. 109)
To Those Who Cling Stubbornly To Whatever Judgements They Have Formed
1. Some people, when they hear such precepts as these — that we ought to be steadfast, that choice is by nature free and not subject to compulsion, whereas all else is subject to hindrance and compulsion, and in bondage to others and not our own — imagine that they must stand unswervingly by every judgement that they have formed. 2. But it is first necessary that the judgement should be a sound one. I want a certain rigour in the body; but such as appears in a healthy, an athletic body: 3. for if you show me that you have the rigour of a madman and boast about that, I will say to you, ‘Find someone to cure you, man:
this is not rigour but quite the opposite.’ 4. Here is another way in which people’s minds can be affected when they misinterpret these precepts, as in the case of a friend of mine, who, for no reason, had determined to starve ‘himself to death. 5. I learned of this when he was in the third day of his fast, and went to ask him what had happened. 6. ‘I have decided’, he replied. Yes, but even so, what moved you to make this decision? For if you judged rightly, look, here we are at your side and ready to assist you in your departure; but if your judgement was contrary to reason, you must change it. 7.
‘Those who have arrived at decisions-should abide by them.’ What do you mean, man? Not all decisions, but the ones that are correct. If you are led to imagine at this very moment that it is night, and you should suppose that to be true, do not, then, change your opinion but hold to it, and say that one must abide by one’s decisions! 8. Do you not wish to lay a firm foundation at the beginning, by examining whether your decision is sound or unsound, and then build on that your firm-set resolve? 9. For if you lay a rotten and crumbling foundation, you cannot build even a small building, but the greater and heavier the superstruc- ture is, the sooner it will fall. ro. Without any reason you are removing from life our friend and companion, our fellow-citizen in both the greater city and the lesser: 11. and then, while you are committing murder and destroying an innocent person, you say, We must abide by our decisions. 12. Suppose, in some way or other, it should come into your head to kill me, would you have to abide by your decisions then?

“The Psychology of War”: https://youtu.be/XJzx–8Db2k
By academyofideas.com
A 20 mn video about the relation between man and war, ending with the vital conclusion of why it is so important to be outspoken against the brainwashing that often takes place to promote armed conflicts.
“So many in the ruling class see gains from the fighting of wars, we should not rely on these individuals to maintain peace. The responsibility lies with us.
More people need to see through the lies and propaganda that are used to justify war, and more people need to be vocal in expressing their anti-war views. For speaking up, and protesting against war, is effective.
In the buildup to war, governments often censor and even jail the dissidents who spread anti-war messages, and this would be unnecessary if these messages didn’t have the potential to shift public sentiment.”
Many here will be able to parallel these last words with the censorship that took place during the COVID operation. As if we were censored, it is because we could take apart their deceit.
A few excerpts from “The Battle For Your Mind – Persuasion & Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The Public Today” by Dick Sutphen (trained hypnotist and author): https://www.essene.com/Church/BrainWashing.htm
I’m putting these here in addition to what is explained in the first part of the video linked in the comment above, regarding why soldiers have to be trained to kill if, as it is so often suggested, since the dawn of time most human beings were “born with an instinct to kill” their fellow men:
“I want to mention the United States Government and military boot camp. The Marine Corps talks about breaking men down before ‘rebuilding’ them as new men – as marines! Well, that is exactly what they do, the same way a cult breaks its people down and rebuilds them as happy flower sellers on your local street corner. Every one of the above conversion techniques [see linked article] are used in boot camp. Considering the needs of the military, I’m not making a judgement as to whether that is good or bad. IT IS A FACT that the men are effectively brainwashed. Those who won’t submit must be discharged or spend much of their time in the brig. […] Techniques are used to cause the mind to go ‘flat’. These are altered-state-of-consciousness techniques that initially induce calmness by giving the mind something simple to deal with and focusing awareness. […] The result is the reduction of thought and eventually, if used long enough, the cessation of all thought and withdrawal from everyone and everything except that which the controllers direct. The take-over is then complete. It is important to be aware that when members or participants are instructed to use ‘thought-stopping’ techniques, they are told that they will benefit by so doing: they will become ‘better soldiers’ or ‘find enlightenment’. […] There are three primary techniques used for thought stopping. The first is MARCHING: the thump, thump, thump beat literally generates self-hypnosis and thus great susceptibility to suggestion. The second thought stopping technique is REPETITION. […] The third thought-stopping technique is CHANTING.”
Dalesco
“… I just think the themes raised in it are worth giving them some thought in the open thread, especially because of the global geopolitical situation…”
True- they are relevant, but the reason i responded (aside from my distaste for Grossman) is that if we start from faulty assumptions we will fail in any action we take.
On that note I will point out that I know of zero wars where the people just decided not to fight.
Even the much talked of Vietnam protests pretty much evaporated when the draft was dropped- indicating that (like the GWAT) most (#NotAll) people don’t really care about violence unless it directly affects THEM.
“…. muskets that were loaded multiple times, but never fire….”
I have a relative who is a big civil war buff, but I have read it in several books too. It could also happen with flintlocks but putting a little copper cap on a nipple when your under fire is the definition of fine motor under stress, 🙂
https://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/threads/accidential-double-load.35661/
If you ever get around the muzzle loading community you will notice that many of them have a mark on their ram rod to stop this happening to them. It’s also a PITA to remove a ball if you forget to put powder under it first (lol). These folks are not firing under battle conditions and it happens to them on occasion (I put a link above)
You are correct in that the need to train group cohesion is a fall back to primitive warfare where our ancestors ran around in gangs poking each other and running off . Such people also tend to mutilate the enemy more if they wear war paint or masks, analogous to modern uniforms.
Industrial warfare is quite different, that’s why they needed to train group solidarity when men needed to operate as people rather than automatons like in the days of volly fire muskets.
As to the myth men didnt shoot at their enemies, it’s questionable and Grossmannleans on that work in his work- it’s not “separate” research.
Dalesco
I had the misfortune to have to read Grossmans work…or at least parts of it since I found him kinda silly and if you listen to his lectures he certainly comes across like a snake oil salesman. I had to get familiar with him for a specific reason and was not impressed ….his love of the sheepdog metaphor and opinion that most people are sheep is not totally wrong but certainly puts the power in the hands of a small group of self appointed killers.
The aversion to violence you see in moderns (hence the need to mimic tribal warfare via tight group cohesion) is mostly an artifact of living lives where we don’t deal with animals and nature on a day ti day basis.
Virtually no one has ever had to kill and disassemble an animal they want to eat- it’s part of the human domestication process to make people more like prey then predators.
Olde tyme people had NO aversion to human killing- thus any trait seen in modern is artificial and cultural NOT a natural dislike of killing outgroup humans.
People today would be JUST as horrified by bear baiting and dog fighting , both of which were popular entertainment in the past. People used to enjoy watching public hangings or even more horrible things like gladiators or people being killed by animals. They also used to have to kill each other up close wiyh pointy things and it would have been noted had they just waved their blades above the heads of their foes 😉
The snippet about the multiple balls loaded into Civil war rifles is actually the result of stressed troops forgetting to put a percussion cap on the nipple – not civil war folks being horrified by killing….it would be weird if these chaps had a hard time volly firing into an impersonal mass of troops AND apparntly no issue using their bayonets on those same men when they were close enough to see each others faces.
The stats on modern troops firing over the head of the enemy are questionable, but if true (which I doubt) they would probably be the result of conscripting a bunch of men who had been trained in a domesticated culture and expecting them to act more like natural people. Also the majority of conscripts had worse training then professional soldiers and might have just been stressed.
I don’t believe for a minute that the very real “moral injury “ Moderns can get from killing even out group people were experienced in the pre-Christian era.
Let’s also include the good laugh the inmates get as they hear some details of the rape the youngest newcomers have been submitted to by the gang leaders in a prison.
We could even add how most drivers slow down when an accident happened on the road, in the unavowed hope to catch a glimpse of the wreck and especially of the victims.
We could go as far as incorporating the enjoyment the spectators feel when watching fake violence in movies, as a form of entertainment.
Indeed, we do have a morbid fascination, which I believe is hardwired in us and for specific purposes.
Now, I would mention too how the leader of any mob (the bouncers of a nightclub, a street gang, a sports fan club, even a group of female friends and so on) has to “throw some meat” to the members of his team if he wants to develop a binding element among them and remain the leader.
As for the killing and disassembling of an animal, sure, something as basic as skinning a rabbit would be a horrifying experience nowadays to the majority of people. When those necessities disappear from our lives, they become repulsive. So, circumstantial necessity is one thing and to have an instinct that drives us to carry out a particular action is another.
All those points touch on different topics anyway. They can be interesting, fair enough, but have nothing to do with the matter at hand.
Regarding Grossman’s work, I haven’t read it but I don’t think he’s the only author mentioned in the video’s argumentation. As for the close range killing with bladed weapons to which you’re referring, that subject is actually mentioned in it.
Your explanation for the high proportion of muskets that were loaded multiple times, but never fired (“stressed troops forgetting to put a percussion cap on the nipple”) is news to me. You must have a source to support your claim.
In any case, I don’t want to have to assume the role of advocate for all the information shown in this presentation either, as no one is ever 100% right or 100% wrong. I just think the themes raised in it are worth giving them some thought in the open thread, especially because of the global geopolitical situation.
Dalesco
“…. Let’s also include the good laugh the inmates get as they hear some details of the rape the youngest newcomers have been submitted to by the gang leaders in a prison….”
I am lucky enough to be unsure if thats just Jewish TVs portrayal of prison. Certainly I have known criminals and they had a good deal of homophobia in my experience, but I am sure mileage may vary.
In the cutting of rabbits, yes we agree that the stress of seeing blood and death moderns feel comes more from the UNnatural state we live in….which would mean that the instinct IS NIT TO BE REPULSED by such things. Our instincts point us to things that were useful.
The only reluctance to kill humans naturally feel is towards INgroup people. Out groups have almost always been fair game….thatbthis is instinctive is clear when you realize Bonoboo hippy chimps dont last long when in competition with regular chimps who are quite warlike and murderous like primitive tribes tend to be.
I would suggest that CS Lewis essay “the necessity for chivalry” is a better idea of where humans should go- good, wholesome humans are ART, not fallen nature. I will link to the spoken word version on YT.

Starting a new thread….
From your post:
“Could you elaborate on the last part and provide any documentation of that? Thanks.”
https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/indigenous-population-crash-0021892
“In a study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of researchers report on the population variations they identified when looking back over thousands of years of the history of Indigenous peoples living in the pre-European United States and Canada. Their work involved an exhaustive survey of radiocarbon dating results obtained from tests on tens of thousands of bones, textiles, food scraps, food and drink residues on pottery, and charcoal bits taken from archaeological sites across North America, which it took them a full decade to compile.
From this invaluable data, the researchers found that Native American populations reached their maximum around 1150 AD, before experiencing a 30% decline between then and 1500, or before Europeans began exploring the lands of North America in earnest. It seems the numbers showed signs of rebounding about that time, but that trend would be reversed by the impact of contact with Europeans, who brought diseases, weapons, and a conquering mentality that would ultimately decimate native populations.
What they found is that Indigenous populations in North America grew steadily for about 2,000 years until around 1150 AD, when they reached their peak, with a nearly one-third decline experienced after that. The nature of this ebb and flow varied between regions and specific populations, undoubtedly impacted by climate change, disease, conflict, and other natural and societal factors that could have caused population levels to drop (or rise when things got better).
One of the starkest examples of regional differences was demonstrated by their study of the Cahokia people, who built the largest known settlement in prehistoric North America (also known as Cahokia), which was located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers in Illinois. This prosperous mound-building culture saw its population surpass 10,000 by the year 1100, but a series of droughts after that led to crop failures and mass migrations to other regions, and by 1350 their huge settlement had been completely abandoned.”

Here’s another, but there are many more:

Summary:
The health of indigenous people in the Western Hemisphere was on a downward trajectory long before Columbus set foot in the Americas, researchers say.
“The rise of agriculture is partly to blame, said Richard Steckel, a professor of economics and anthropology at Ohio State University. The demands of tending domestic crops encouraged people to settle in larger communities, where disease was more easily spread.
The rise of towns and cities during industrialization took a serious toll on health, but new evidence establishes a very long trail of poor health that followed the collective pre-Columbian efforts in creating modern civilization, Steckel said. He co-edited a book that looks at health trends in the Western Hemisphere throughout the last seven millennia.
According to some archeologists, the urban revolution began long before Europeans settled the Americas. Sophisticated cities flourished and expanded throughout North and South America once people mastered agriculture. Researchers believe that indigenous people began domesticating crops more than 5,000 years ago.
The current research suggests that the overall health of the average person declined with the development of agriculture, government and urbanization.
We know that certain health problems increased thousands of years before Columbus set foot in the New World, Steckel said. We also know that complex indigenous cities were thriving by then, particularly in Central America.
While the undisputed devastation of Indians in North and South America by New World immigrants has been the focus of historians who study the indigenous experience, patterns of health prior to the late 1400s have largely been ignored, Steckel said.
He and his colleagues used a new tool called the health index to analyze more than 12,500 skeletons excavated from 65 sites in.
North and South America. The sites ranged in age from 5,000 BC to the late 19th century. The index helped researchers analyze skeletal remains and, in doing so, determine the extent of certain chronic health problems.
Skeletons are warehouses of health history. They are the major source of information on the co-evolution of humans and disease, Steckel said.
The researchers share their findings on the co-evolution of humans and disease in “The Backbone of History: Health and Nutrition in the Western Hemisphere,” (Cambridge University Press, 2002). Steckel edited the book with Jerome Rose, a professor of anthropology at the University of Arkansas. The project was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Ohio State.”

Cheers, I appreciate you sharing the quotes and links.
Glad the studies mentioned how some cultures that began on Turtle Island and in “South America” became city building / authoritarian and militant civilizations, though at first glance the studies appear to be woefully lacking in their descriptions of the cultures that utilized regenerative agroforestry practices (polycultures of trees, shrubs and annuals farmed as permanent horticultural systems that enrich biodiversity).
A lot to unpack here (in the areas of both pertinent lesser known facts as well as cherry picked data and misleading generalizations) and I have goji berries to harvest, so will have to revisit when I am able.
Have you read “1491 : New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus” By Charles C. Mann ?
https://archive.org/details/1491colonistsindigenousviewsonliberty1
For starters, and to spark some discussion here is a fun anecdote from the book that offers a perspective from some peoples that lived in my neck of the woods about 400 years ago.
page 49:
“As for the Indians, evidence suggests that they tended to view Europeans with disdain as soon as they got to know them. The Wendat (Huron) in Ontario, a chagrined missionary reported, thought the French possessed “little intelligence in comparison to themselves.” Europeans, Indians told other Indians, were physically weak, sexually untrustworthy, atrociously ugly, and just plain smelly. (The British and French, many of whom had not taken a bath in their entire lives, were amazed by the Indian interest in personal cleanliness.) A Jesuit reported that the “savages” were disgusted by handkerchiefs: “They say, we place what is unclean in a fine white piece of linen, and put it away in our pockets as something very precious, while they throw it upon the ground.”
The Mi’kmaq in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia scoffed at the notion of European superiority.
If Christian civilization was so wonderful, why were its inhabitants all trying to settle somewhere else?”
@G
“the studies appear to be woefully lacking in their descriptions of the cultures that utilized regenerative agroforestry practices”
Those would be the healthy people;)
“If Christian civilization was so wonderful, why were its inhabitants all trying to settle somewhere else?”
Climactic chaos would be the first reason for their departure, deforestation the runner up. They were running out of options and had to conquer someone’s land to keep up appearances. I think they were well aware that the Vikings had traveled here and back, and I don’t think they had to guess what was here, or how to reach their destination. I think that was just propaganda for the unknowing masses. Occulted knowledge.
But, far more important, I’d like to offer the possibility that primitive Christianity (the teachings of Christ) have never had anything to do with the materialism and empire building schemes of the colonizers. Not a Christian among them, in my opinion.
“My kingdom is not of this earth.”
“Deny yourself…”
“Do unto others…”
Doesn’t sound very empirey. I think somebody fibbed just a little at some point…

Well said.
Doctrine Of Discovery was and is an abomination, totally antithetical to the teachings of wise beings such as Jesus.
RE: “My kingdom is not of this earth.”
hmm, are you saying that the thing they called “The Star Of Bethlehem” was actually an interstellar spaceship hovering to make sure the humans were treating one of their own nicely? 😉
“hmm, are you saying that the thing they called “The Star Of Bethlehem” was actually an interstellar spaceship hovering to make sure the humans were treating one of their own nicely? 😉”
A crewed interstellar vessel seems like overkill for such a situation. Recalling that story, it was most likely a drone, used to guide the Zoroastrian Magi to the rendezvous point.
The Anunna have lived here far longer than we have. Unless they’ve gotten production costs down so low that it doesn’t matter, I think most of the craft we see are for local travel.
I’d like to remind all those who identify as Christians to recall Y’shua’s words in John:
“No man has ever seen the Father…”
This automatically excludes all the Elohim described in the Old Testament, especially Yahweh.
So, who was the Father of Y’shua?
Yessir! (I got the word out about the resurrection of the Complete 9/11 Timeline, and included in it the entry on The Safari Club coz, why not?)

as the spit shine apprentice
polishing princes were
going insane
from the makers that brought you permawar
there’s a brand new war within

good night, citizen
talk is cheap upon the heap
of power seeking rats
and the candy tin

melts the blob apart
I can see the cracks form in the pack
as fair weather friends depart
who do you love now
who do you love now
now that you’ve seen the sun
is there any one
left to love now
they’ll pave the trails with the bones of the failed
in borrowed boots they’ll stomp
as they strain to drain
that pond of pain
into some different swamp
as the wizard of vermont
shakes his ancient head
and the sun it sets
on our regrets
he makes his way to bed
who do you love now

7/16/2025 — Large M7.4 (M7.3) Earthquake with Tsunami Warning in Alaska

Tsunami Warning had Residents scrambling for high ground ! Earthquake was felt as far as Anchorage

@MagneticReversal
Thanks for the heads up, I know people up there.
After a quick search I see that a bunch of clowns are already doing fake AI generated images and footage of a big tsunamis wrecking communities there, have you heard anything on whether or not the earthquake did indeed produce a tsunami that impacted the coastal communities?
@G
Here’s what I’ve found:
Space Weather News (Suspicious 0bservers)
(reports of “minor damage”)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_-tStdmjw0
@G
On another note, you asked somewhere what I thought about the relationship between deforestation and the magnetic reversal.
I have a draft text but can’t find which thread that originally came from…
If you can point me to it, I’ll respond to it there later when I have time.
@MagneticReversal
RE: the relationship between deforestation and the magnetic reversal.
That was another comment on this thread I think.
Perhaps one where you posted a video of some far out visual stuff going on in the upper atmosphere over a nordic country?
I`ll dig up the link from my emails when I can and re-post here.
@G
If there was any major damage, this site would be all over it:
https://watchers.news/2025/07/16/m7-3-earthquake-alaska-july-16-2025/
They mention the quake and the warnings, then the downgraded alert, but no follow-up on major damage. That’s a pretty good indicator that there was none.
@MagneticReversal
Thanks I appreciate the thoughtful comments.
I typically only have a few minutes before or after work to check my pc (and I do not do smart phones or tv) so sometimes I just do hear about things like that until someone at work or the gas station tells me about it.
My friends in Alaska are off grid on the coast but they went into cell range to send out a message to let everyone know they are ok.

(for pics of some great foraging books for kids: https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-136005053 )
We live in a time where most children in Canada and the US are capable of identifying over 1000 corporate logos, yet they can only identify less then 10 plant species.
This reality is one of the many inevitable outcomes of the inherently anthropocentric, spiritually impoverished and ecologically illiterate structure called Statism (and how it conditions children). Each and everyone of our indigenous ancestors that lived in pre-statist animistic cultures would have learned to identify and work with plants from a young age (as adeptly as many children today are at using ipads).
More on that in links I will post in comments below.
Foraging books are great to have on hand as a reference. If you plan to bring kids along on any wild foraging adventures don’t miss these foraging books for kids! Foraging with kids can be a whole new adventure, so get them involved with their very own edible plant books. Even reading bedtime stories that have some facts in them will give kids the confidence to identify edible plants!
In this time of a hyper-distracted and over stimulated chemical/digital culture, offering avenues for children to slow down and reconnect to things that really matter in life (like foraging and/or gardening) is a very meaningful gift we can share with the children and future generations.
Most of us in the modern western world are surrounded in food and do not even know it! Whether we are walking in the forest, an empty lot or in our backyard, many of the plants and trees we see as ornamental, incidental or “weeds” have a long history of being used as food and medicine by those who lived where we now live, many generations before us.
We live in a time of widespread botanical blindness in the west, this is an era of artificially induced ecological illiteracy in which many people would starve to death if corporations and flimsy centralized infrastructures that metaphorically spoon feed them were to cease to function.
It is possible that many modern day city slickers, suburban nose to the grind stone materialistic ladder climbers and rurally situated ipad addicted, credit card wielding, 5 nights of fast food a week central infrastructure dependent people would starve to death (all while being surrounded in a forest or neighborhood full of food) if centralized food production, processing and distribution systems were to collapse (and/or the centralized flimsy financial systems which the food systems depend on collapsed).
We can begin to stem that prevalent tide of botanical knowledge poverty via educating the younger ones to remember the importance of learning about their rooted elders.
@G
This is not necessarily a book for children, but I’ve used it to teach children.
Mushrooming Without Fear:
The Beginner’s Guide to Collecting Safe and Delicious Mushrooms
by Alexander Schwab
ISBN-10: 1-60239160-2
Full of beautiful color photos – it even has Gnomes!
I can’t recommend this one highly enough. It doesn’t just give identification protocols for specific varieties, but entire classes to either avoid or embrace (as a beginner). Its focus is on culinary mushrooms, but the principles apply to the more classically medicinal varieties as well.
@MagneticReversal
Thanks for the recommendation, I agree! I had purchased a copy of that book recently and found it to be great.
I have added it to my recommended reading list (linked below) and I will update that post with the kids books above and better links/formatting soon and re-post.
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/regenerative-resources-a-recommended
Have you read Radical Mycology by Peter McCoy?
@G
First I’ve heard of it, thanks for the recommendation.
Here’s my favorite for home cultivation:
Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation:
Simple to Advanced and Experimental Techniques for Indoor and Outdoor Cultivation
by Tradd Cotter
ISBN-13: 978-1-60358-455-5
@MagneticReversal
You have good taste in mycology books my friend 🙂
Yes Tradd is the best, he has gathered much wisdom and experience, yet he is a very down to earth guy. I took an advanced permaculture course with him and he was kind enough to let me use one of his Mycoremediation graphics in the Phytoremediation and Mycoremediation chapter of my first book (Recipes For Reciprocity : The Regenerative Way From Seed To Table).
@G
Have you been to his place in South Carolina?
One of the projects I’ve been both most exited about and also most concerned would be either shut down or get him “shut down” is his personalized mushroom medicine research. To be able to feed mycelia with a biological sample and get it to provide a personalized remedy – that’s some radical stuff…
If you have any recent updates on that work I’d love to have a link. Last time I checked he had stopped talking about that. I just hope that means the talking stopped but the research goes on.
PS I know another local herbalist who has some wild stories about Tradd and Olga🌠🍄🌌
@MagneticReversal
No I have not been to his place (we were invited to visit Mushroom Mountain but it was/is not possible so far).
I have so many invites to visit amazing places and people in the states, alas, I lost my passport pre-scamdemic and I am having trouble brining myself to get a new one since then.
The place now called The United States is such a beautiful land, such diverse and wonderful beings there (people included) I really wish I was able to see more of it (especially to see what is left of the ancient rooted beings we call Redwoods and Sequoias) I just cannot bring myself to pay our corrupt governments money so that I can carry around “papers” that allow me to move freely within the continent I was born on.
I just find the entire idea of Passports to be offensive and demeaning… like Cattle tags for humans (for some historical reference on how passports came to be: https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/one-hundred-years-of-cattle-tagging ). Who gave those governments the right to demand I carry around papers? I never signed any contract agreeing to make them my overlords. But I digress…
On personally customized mycological medicine (created via culturing mycelium samples exposed to specific viral/bacterial strains from a throat swab from an individual seeking a highly effective personalized edible/tinctured myco-anti-biotic) I think that is actually an idea that Tradd got from Peter McCoy (that topic is explored in Radical Mycology).
I`ll ask Tradd if he has continued his experiments on that front, though it has been a while since we connected (last time we spoke we were both presenting at an online Regenerative Agriculture conference called “R-Future”).
@G
I was a bit worried that my recent reply might have been taken as an affront, but you’re still talking, so I assume it wasn’t.
I’m a selfish reader. I’m not trying to say that others should write to suit my needs, I’m just admitting what could reasonably be perceived as a character flaw.
I’m looking forward to reading McCoy’s books, but I’ll be skipping any chapters which don’t appeal to my selfish desires. This is common practice for me, for better or for worse. For the same reason, I’ve not read a paper version of any fictional books in years. I only listen to fiction via audiobook while I’m doing labor which doesn’t require a lot of mental horsepower.
@MagneticReversal
It was not taken as an affront at all, I appreciate your candidness.
One of the things I talk about in my book is learning to perceive the blessings each of us offer that are unlocked through our unrepeatably unique preferences, inclinations, creative gifts and intrinsic ways of seeing. Your choices to gravitate to specific published works in the way in which you do falls into that category. I do not see it as a character flaw, just a facet of a unique being.
Humans in modern western civilization often have been conditioned to see imperfections as blemishes to be hidden or “fixed” using an array of psychological manipulation experts (“psychologists and psychiatrists”) and they strive to create a monoculture of thought and behavior through both drugs and psyops.
I do not subscribe to that train of thought as it reminds me of the futile efforts of millions of humans to create grass monocultures in their front yard (devoid of life and not producing any food nor medicine). Many of the expressions of nature deemed as “imperfections” or “weeds” by the promoters of monoculture thinking, are beings that are attempting to provide repairing gifts for the soil, food for pollinators (that help feed humanity) and food as well as medicine for humans directly (that are mostly in debt and using credit cards to buy nutritionally depleted poison soaked food from grocery stores).
So all of that rant is to say that in nature no flower is perfect, no forest is perfectly symmetrical, and a front yard that is perfectly symmetrical and flat is actually a very unhealthy place and an expression of human stupidity/arrogance (and not “success”, “orderliness” or “living the american dream”) as some may have been conditioned to think. The forest that is healthy is asymmetric, perhaps, in some ways, that also applies to the ecosystem of the human mind.
While there is always room for self-improvement, self-discovery and honing the blade of consciousness that is the mind through conscious choices, there is also value in recognizing innate inclinations and facets of our being and not working needlessly to change or supress them (assuming we are talking about proclivities that do not violate other beings).
Anyways, that was my long winded way of saying that I was not offended and not all things that others deem as “selfish” are necessarily a “flaw”.
@G
I looked for a used copy of
Radical Mycology
and the least expensive I could find was @ $80…
Here’s a link to free, printable PDF copy:
https://annas-archive.org/search?q=9780986399602
Two versions available, one almost twice the file size of the other, might be a difference in quality, photos, not sure.
Hopefully some of your readers may benefit from digital access.
The new EcoTank printers (refillable tanks – no more cartridges) make printing such books a very attractive and affordable option. Pennies per page, depending on paper quality.
@MagneticReversal
RE: Radical Mycology being pricey.
It is 672 pages long and jam packed with not only highly practical (and decentralized low-tech applicable as well as scalable) garden/food forest compatible mycological techniques, but also contains some really potent insights and mind expanding perspectives of a more abstract nature.
You can get the book directly from Peter at his website for 60 USD here : https://mycologos.world/collections/mushroom-cultivation-tools-and-supplies/products/radical-mycology-treatise-seeing-working-with-fungi-book-peter-mccoy
Worth every penny in my opinion. I go back and reference it often as I strive to blend fungal abundance and resilience into my food forest designs.
As a self-published author myself that had to look at printing options for a 400 page plus book and compare prices (and weigh out profitability vs durability and quality for the readers) I can tell you that 60$ for an almost 700 page book that is printed with solid binding is actually quite reasonable (and Peter likely does not make that much on each sale at that price).
Re: The pirated ebooks.
I personally always try to buy from the author if they are still among the living (as I know how much work goes into creating a book) but I cannot seem to find an official method to buy a digital copy of Radical Mycology (I think I remember Peter gifting the early digital version of that book to the world for free years ago, so perhaps that is why he only sells it in the physical now).
If someone cannot afford to buy the physical copy of his book I totally get going for a free digital copy (as the contents can not only enrich the reader’s life, but also empowers the reader to become a force for regeneration and creating abundance for their community using free materials).
Thanks for the links, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the book if you read it.
@G
Your points have merit.
As a collector of knowledge, often in the form of books, I do understand that supporting the author helps to ensure that he or she can continue in the craft and, in turn, publish more if so inclined.
I also look at it like this:
The used book market ensures that the books someone else would otherwise discard (if the patent laws were even more restrictive than they are now) can go to someone else, and give them a second “life.” This is a form of recycling, landfill management, and also precludes the need to print and ship a brand new book for every reader. The amount of raw materials and energy consumption this saves is absolutely massive.
Almost all of the clothes I own are purchased from thrift stores as well, with the exception of footwear and undergarments. Same goes for much of my gear, whether camping gear, tools and equipment, furniture, and so on.
Frugality is part of the equation, but only part. Many of the things we purchase are made with materials, energy, and means of production which continue to feed the beast we all want to see perish. Buying used takes that money out of the corporate world, much of the time, and supports a growing parallel economy.
As far as “pirated” digital media, I use that primarily to see if a book is worthy of my time and ultimate investment. Most are not, I have found, and that once again saves a lot of resources from being burned. And since I’d look for a used copy anyway, there’s no difference in how much profit the author or publisher would make anyway. If I can’t find a used copy for what I’m willing to pay, then I might take the time to print it out at home, but that makes for difficult storage and reading unless it’s properly bound, so I’m more likely to buy new, in that case.
And, here, you and I have slightly different tastes on one matter. The excerpts you posted – that’s philosophical in nature, and not what I want in a book on mycology. If I want to read a book on philosophy I’ll buy a book on philosophy. When I buy a book on mycology, I want as little of that as possible. Reading things that I already know or agree with is not something I enjoy, and I consider it a waste of my time. I want to be challenged. I want as much information packed into each page as the format allows. Again, this is about efficiency. Many of my used books are not only old but worn. I am an artist and a craftsman, so I do appreciate beauty, but I don’t personally buy art because it’s not useful to me. I find beauty everywhere, all the time, so I have no desire to surround myself with pretty things. Music – that’s another story, but for the most part I’m a “function over form” kind of guy. Ugly gets the job done, and that’s fine with me. Things I make for others are prettier than those I make for myself. I’ve always been that way.
I’m not knocking anyone else for their personal taste. Just sharing how my mind works and what’s valuable to me.
@MagneticReversal
I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
I may have gave the wrong impression with my use the word “pirated”. I was not saying that I support intellectual property laws, rather I was saying that I believe in reciprocating in some way for the gifts that authors offer this world through their hard work.
Re: “The excerpts you posted – that’s philosophical in nature, and not what I want in a book on mycology. If I want to read a book on philosophy I’ll buy a book on philosophy.

Well my friend, based on that, I think you would not like my book at all! 🙂 In my life I have seen the degenerative impacts of hyper-compartmentalization of sets of knowledge, ways of seeing and practical skillsets, and thus, when I went out to write my first book I did the opposite of compartmentalization and segregation of topics.
Where the compartmentalization of ecology and agriculture has created worldwide havoc and suffering (through Big Ag’s exploitation of soil as a dead resources to be extracted from) I sought to help people remember how soil life and human cultivation of plants are intrinsically connected (if one wants their food cultivation system to be anti-fragile and resilient). Where compartmentalization of food and medicine has created the Big Pharma industry and their processed food partners, I sought to remind people that to our indigenous ancestors, food and medicine were one in the same.
I went about writing my book via first taking a step back from the compartmented areas of study pertaining to Permaculture, Regenerative Gardening and Cooking/Preserving to look at the bigger picture, and then I wrote the book from that holistic perspective.
There are plenty of clinical, coloring inside the lines, only talking about gardening, never deviating from the subject Permaculture books and recipe books out there. I sought to create one that bridges the gap.
Okay, I am done justifying my tangential, rebellious and totally unorthodox book 🙂
I appreciate you sharing on your personal taste on books… to each their own.
Cheers.
@G
Your book would have been a case of “preaching to the choir,” in my particular case.
Books like that definitely need to be written, and be read. You’ll get no arguments from me on that, and I hope it goes really well for you and your audience.
I liken it to something like this:
I don’t need to review my ABCs, nor study my multiplication tables, nor do I need anyone to convince me that pouring used oil into a river is a bad idea. These things are already a part of who I am.
Millions of others DO need that part of the human education, and will be all the more capable people for having done that work.
So really, I hope you become a bestselling author so you can put that chedda to good use. You seem like a good steward of whatever resources you have.
Rock out with your stalk out, brother🌲
@MagneticReversal
RE: “I hope it goes really well for you and your audience.”
Thanks! It has been going great so far (especially considering I have a one man publicity team, a one man packaging and shipping team and a one man website design staff (me) 🙂
I have sold a couple thousand physical copies so far (shipped to over 40 countries worldwide along with heirloom seeds so readers can grow their own ingredients for the recipes in the book without having to spend another cent in a store).
RE: “I don’t need to review my ABCs, nor study my multiplication tables, nor do I need anyone to convince me that pouring used oil into a river is a bad idea. These things are already a part of who I am.”
That may be true on the clinical soil ecology and gardening side of things, but I gather from your last email that you might appreciate the fermented creations I share recipes for in the book 😉

RE: “I hope you become a bestselling author so you can put that chedda to good use. You seem like a good steward of whatever resources you have.”
Thanks man, I could create some worthwhile things for the 7th generation that comes after me with the kind of gouda that a best selling author gig would generate for sure.
Though, for that to become manifest I would either have to A. take the leap of faith and quit my day job to devote my time 100% to being an author and doing all the things that authors (and author’s agents/publicity people) do that result in them becoming best selling authors which is something I am thinking about as my book sales and blog revenue (including ebook sales and my Substack paid subscribers) are getting close to eclipsing the annual salary of my day job now.
Or, B. I sign a contract with one of the publishing firms that has offered to put my book out there through their system (and give up some creative control on the content, give up control of where the book is sold, inevitably resulting in it being sold on Jeff Bezos platform, among other earth eating corporate market cesspools, and become somewhat beholden to them to become a book event full time speaker for tours etc) which does not really appeal to me, though I know it would be profitable with less work required on my part (compared to option A with me going it alone).
To be honest, I would rather just do the physical work that needs to be done creating Bio-cultural Refugia (community scale food forests) and educate others how to do the same in the physical, and not become a book promoter full time, but alas, given the funds needed to get the ball rolling with that, compromising on my preferences may be required on my part.
Thanks for the well wishes.
@G
One more book suggestion, as well as a subject of discussion:
The Humanure Handbook:
A Guide to Composting Human Manure
by Joseph Jenkins
(I have the 3rd edition)
ISBN-10: 0-9644258-3-1
________
As I’m sure you recognize, this is just one of many ways of closing an otherwise broken and disconnected cycle of waste and inefficiency.
In the community bathhouse at the yurt village where I lived and worked for several years, we had an illustration of both cycles above the composting toilet (a 5 gallon bucket with sawdust from my woodshop as an odor absorber and insect deterrent).
Most of the time, people put their “waste” (nutrients) into fresh water, send it far away to be “treated,” and then the “waste” is often separated out again, but is contaminated with storm drain runoff and other sources (with automotive, industrial, agricultural and pharmaceutical agents mixed in), and might be sold as a (PFAS laiden) soil amendment, or incinerated, or even taken to a landfill; the water is never quite pure again and who knows if that will be put back into the municipal water supply or what will happen to it…
VS
Avoiding ALL that nonsense by simply composting it at home and adding that fertility back to the land…
“But option number two just sounds so dirty and nasty!”
“And…. Option number one is clean and healthy?”
“Well, at least I don’t have to deal with it…”
“REALLY? It affects nearly every aspect of your life.”

For a sneak peak into some of the contents of Radical Mycology, Peter was kind enough to let me share some pages from it in my post on Moss and Lichen here:
https://open.substack.com/pub/gavinmounsey/p/tiny-beings-offering-immense-wisdom?r=q2yay&selection=d30a6349-f2bd-4f7f-8079-6df28d1c7eec&utm_campaign=post-share-selection&utm_medium=web&aspectRatio=instagram&textColor=%23ffffff
I`ll also share a few quotes from the book below.
——————
“In Preparation of the Medicine:
If fungi are the connectors and healers of whole habitats, where can one draw the line considering what their medicine is or how to work with it? Is not the stillness that comes from walking in the woods a form of healing onto itself? .. The collection, processing and sharing of these products are not divided from the end result.
The healing that fungi weave through our lives connect us to place, to people, to culture and kin. These are the subtler medicines that working with fungi provides to enrich the mind, heart and spirit in ways a commercial product never could.
The production of natural medicines is not only a method for redefining one’s relationship with fungi or place, it is also an ancient means for commanding control over one’s body, mind, and sovereignty. By making medicine, each person is offered the chance to claim a degree of liberation from the monoliths of allopathy by personally defining what one’s health can and will look like.
Whereas allopathy may define illness as a collection of symptoms, other healing modalities perceive the human as a blend of unique qualities and interconnected (eco-)systems, each with a number of balance points that can tip unfavorably, causing illness to arise. Fungal medicines help re-align and strengthen the human condition, reminding us that our bodies are not mechanical and merely designed for small pills and standardized prescriptions, but unique beings that are healed most profoundly by the living medicines of nature.”
– Peter McCoy (An excerpt from chapter 7 “The Pharmycopeia” of his visionary book: “Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing and Working with Fungi”)
“Apart from education systems, the second main source of information for many people is the conduits of opinion known as television, movies, magazines, and billboards. The tools of the media establishment mold society`s perspectives, creating value systems that define desires, limit awareness, and craft artificial needs for products or protection. Just as public schooling teaches students what to think, the media instructs their audience on what to want and what to avoid. The media shapes the information webs of society, just as bulldozers and chainsaws destroy the ancient mycelial networks of the world..
.. Just as the mycelial network must defend itself from unhealthy substrates and infections, so must the media critic learn to discern between what is true and what is false in the variety of opinions presented on screens and in print. The analysis begins with recognizing where lies are being perpetrated in the media and spreads out to determine how the media constricts a culture`s knowledge web. Just as fungi relentlessly work to break free of artificial containers, the media critic must look at how the entire media apparatus shapes the world, beyond the topical issues of a singular movie, billboard or song.”

Summer Plant Growth – Overnight temps…warmer vs cooler…northern states vs southern
I’ve always noticed how Nebraska has very robust, faster growing cornfields compared to Texas.
Right out the gate in this video, Michael Clark of BAM Weather talks about the warmer than normal overnight low temperatures in states like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan.

Michael Clark QUOTE
…(These states) “are running some of the warmest it’s ever been for nighttime low temperatures.
Why am I bringing this up?
Because that’s not good for the US grain. It’s not good for the corn crop…
…When the nighttime lows do not get below 70°, the crop struggles to rest and recoup. It stays kind of tense….”

Tiny Red Demons from Hell – Chiggers
These small, pepperdust-size, red mites will inject enzymes to melt your skin, then slurp up the juices. The bite’s redmark appears a day or so later, and can linger with its non-stop itching for a week or two.
Chiggers love hot weather and tend to go dormant around 60F.
Some weeks ago, I got about 30 to 40 Chigger bites on me from after working in the yard.
SOLUTION – The next time I worked in the yard, I put 1/3 dishsoap and 2/3 water in a container. Then took a washcloth to apply to my legs, arms and clothes. Then I sprinkled a 50/50 mix of cornstarch and cinnamon on the wet areas of my clothes and body. The surfactant suds aspect of dishsoap is a winner. Not one Chigger bite.
@hrs
For over a decade, Jim Lee has been pointing to the fact that “global warming only happens at night.” The daytime temperatures, once the manipulated data are identified and set aside, certainly don’t reflect the warming we’re constantly told is happening. But the nighttime lows – that is another story altogether. Cirrus clouds matter! Plane farts created by jet exhaust create persistent cirrus clouds which blanket the Earth, preventing heat from radiating back out into space overnight. “Earth Radiation Management, or ERM,” as opposed to “Solar Radiation Management, or SRM.”
This has been discussed for many years, and has been unequivocally shown to be the direct result of “incidental geoengineering,” since NATO made the switch to the bio-blend jet fuels now in use.

Canada wasted over $1.2 billion on the clot shots that less and less people are willing to line up to be injected with as well.
Lots of profits for big pharma in that racket, the statist regimes use violent coercion to take your money, then they give it to big pharma (and they use it to maim and kill some people) and then they throw out all the genetic goo that people refused to be injected with. This provides an example that is the epitome of statist racketeering cartel in all its obscene wastefulness and malice.
Yup you nailed it.
Most businesses/people suffered great losses during the scamdemic but a select number wish that it could repeat every few years, so profitable it was for them.

Moderna Founder Launches Aerial-spraying of RNA to Alter Gene Expression of Crops

@MagneticReversal
Thanks for the heads up.
I suppose this increases the value of seed saving long lived seed types in home scale seed vaults (for having back up genetics that are non-contaminated incase they launch some kind of “self-amplifying” / self replicating GMO crops with interspecies contamination potential).
I save seeds using low tech desiccants and have gotten 95% viability after ten years in storage and I am also using my freeze dryer to create ultra-long term back up seed storage (most seed types survive the intense and unnatural cold/vacuum conditions of the machine and the seed embryo remains living and viable after freeze drying). That could theoretically mean the machine could enable seeds remaining viable (and genetically intact) for centuries if stored in ideal conditions (like in air tight jars or mylar bags in the dark, in a cellar).

“The People Who Invented Lacrosse Can’t Play It at the Olympics
Lacrosse is coming back to the Olympics in 2028, bringing the ancient Indigenous game full circle back to North American soil, but the people who invented the game might not be allowed to play it.”
https://historycanthide.substack.com/p/the-people-who-invented-lacrosse
(It was written by a guy that describes his Stack by saying “I teach the history of Black, Native, Latino, Asian, LGBTQ+, and Religious Minorities to build a more inclusive and informed society!”)
I commented to tell him that I think it is also worth noting that the Olympics is not something that any self-respecting people with an intact place based culture would want to be part of, as the Olympics is an event that glorifies Statism, Nationalism and Exploitation of the land and our non-human kin. This is fact as all involuntary governance structures and statist regimes are inherently degenerative, built on genocide of indigenous people and intrinsically immoral.
For people that are indigenous to Turtle Island to strive to participate in a modern day statist “Circus Maximus” like the Olympics would essentially represent those people choosing to assimilate themselves, and their cultural essence into an imperialistic colonial framework. It would be culturally suicidal, and to those that scream “cultural appropriation” at the notion of a sport being taken from the traditions of pre-colonial cultures of Turtle Island and played at the Olympics, I would say, yes, that is accurate, though the choice to participate in that colonially appropriated activity as an indigenous person, would also be a sort of “cultural desecration”, it would be like a Dine or Hopi person fighting for the right to strip mine or put a fracking oil well on their own traditional lands so they can out-compete the white mans corporations in profits. It is like the indigenous man north of where I live selling out his land to lithium corporations.
My personal experience with the Olympics.
When Vancouver got the Olympic bid for the 2010 winter Olympics (a modern day “Circus Maximus” that exudes Anthropocentrism and hubris) the statist bureaucrats in Canada immediately began planning how they would steal more of unceded lands of indigenous peoples and pillaging the Earth in order to build the Olympic facilities and event grounds.
As early as 2007, indigenous people, the poor, the homeless and those who live on the land were experiencing the ripple effects of the imperialistic colonialism of the Olympic Games. The vast destruction of mountains, old growth forests, streams, hunting and fishing grounds and delicate ecosystems in which are relied on by Indigenous people; the closures of social housing and low income hotels; the high and increasing rate of homelessness; and the criminalization of Indigenous people and the poor are all part of the lead up to the 2010 Olympics.
(continued..)
(..continued from comment above)
Indigenous communities in the interior and the coast of British Columbia including the Secwepemc people of Skelkwek’welt, the St’at’imc of Sutikalh, the Pilalt of Cheam along with people from all colors and creeds were resisting the objectives and activities of the 2010 Olympics since 2003.
Those who stood up to defend their lands were criminalized by the Canadian state. There were hundreds of arrests of Indigenous people (with an emphasis on Indigenous youth and Elders) who protested Olympics 2010 and its objectives.
The Vancouver government appointed the Vancouver Olympic Committee to organize and plan the Winter Games. The Vancouver Olympic Committee, the British Columbian government, and the Canadian government began planning to build the venues for the games. After choosing the venue locations, the International Olympic Committee realized that the land belonged to indigenous people, and was in fact un-ceded land. Un-ceded indigenous land can be classified as land that is not under the protection of a signed treaty, but requires the permission of the First Nations government before being developed. This decision was not released to the public, and construction started without the permission of the First Nations peoples. This outraged First Nations groups in British Columbia, Canada, prompting them to start the campaign known as “No Olympics on Stolen Native Land”.
In response the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (VANOC) allocated $175 million dollars of tax payer money to militarize RCMP units to crush any resistance (they ended up spending over $400 million by 2008 and by the end of February 2009, it was finally acknowledged that the security bill would be over a billion dollars). Much of the security planning was driven by threat assessments conducted by the Integrated Threat Assessment Centre, a branch of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (or CSIS which is Canada’s version of the FBI).
What were those tax dollars used for? Well to crush dissenting voices and silence indigenous elders who spoke out about their land being stolen (so that fancy Olympic athletes could prance around on stages for camera crews) of course!
The militarized police units set up designated “free speech zones” in Whistler and Vancouver (which were chain link fenced in areas out of sight from the main events) and were the only places that people were allowed to protest. When they refused to be hidden away in ‘protest pens’ and protested near olympic events, police brutality ensued. This resulted in several deaths, including the death of indigenous elder Harriet Nahanee, aged 71, after being sent to jail. She died because she was sent to Surrey Pretrial Centre, a prison for men and a noted hell-hole for women in poor health.
(continued in another comment..)
(..continued from comment above)
Needless to say, over a billion dollars worth of tax payer money later (spent on militarized police units to crush and silence dissent) the olympic corporations marched onward to steal their land, pillage the sea to sky corridor and set up their modern day Circus Maximus (built on the stolen lands of indigenous peoples and tainted by the blood of their peaceful elders that dared to ask that their traditional lands and the wildlife that lived there be respected).

When most people think of the Olympics they think of their pride for the country they were born in. When I think of the country I was born in I mourn what the inherently degenerative, exploitative, criminal and intrinsically immoral entity called “Canada” has inflicted onto this beautiful land I call home (which was known by many different names, by many different peoples for millennia). I mourn the loss of the sacred groves, the rivers, sacred springs, the ancient old growth cathedral forests, the methodically tended old growth hickory/oak/chestnut/paw paw food forests, the genocide and attempted erasure of intact cultures that lived by animistic codes of honor that dwelled here and the death of the dignity of the people that came here and imposed their twisted, backward, ecologically degenerative, coercive, greed based and cowardly “civilized” ways onto this land and her peoples. All those things I list above were decimated in the name of “progress” and “Civilization” (and what is left of them continue to be decimated by the inherently exploitative statist machine where we live even now).
Events like the Olympics are events when millions of totally brainwashed people celebrate their own oppressors, the domination of a violent coercion based (orphaned, anthropocentric and adolescent) culture over the more ancient, ecologically literate and animistic cultures that used to exist here and shape this land for millennia.
The same is true of the US and all other statist regimes globally, when you give praise and cheer for the implanted sociopolitical identity of nationality, wave flags and self-identify as a member of that nationstate, you are actively celebrating land theft, genocide and ecological devastation (all of which are pre-requisite conditions required for the formation of a nationstate, involuntary governance structure and statist regime you are cheering for).
Rather than cheer for institutionalized theft, genocide, violent coercion and other organized crime activities (which were required to create the country you live in and are continually required to perpetuate its existence) I advocate cheering for, protecting, healing and nourishing your community, your watershed and the ecosystems that support you. This is what your ancestors did, and the time has now come for us to take an honest look at the failures of our coercive, anthropocentric, adolescent and hubristic modern statist cultures and learn to live more humbly and in tune with the laws of nature as our indigenous ancestors did (yes all of us, regardless of skin color, have indigenous ancestors no matter where we are from).
People waving flags and getting sucked into the psyop of Patriotism are cheering for criminal and genocidal entities that have brainwashed them into a sort of Stockholm Syndrome relationship with government.

Don’t worry, enough people in the west agree with you , so the new population and rulers can restore your moral standing when they replace and persecute you.
@Duck
Your comments are always so cheerful, kind and full of hope.. they just leave the reader with this warm fuzzy feeling.
Thanks for being you Duck, you are a very unique person.
It seems like the modern PTSNB, i.e. current ruling class are on board with the demographic changes and replacement agenda. Like you mentioned they are moving humans around like livestock.
Why should anyone have any loyalty to them? They are enemies to regular people, even traditional “nationalists”
I’d venture a guess that no normal person wants the degree of environmental destruction taking place, even the most “patriotic” individuals who should theoretically want to preserve their “homeland”.
Cu.h.j
True, they do move people around like livestock. I read a book about the dust bowl and first they moved the Indians off for cowboys, then they moved the cowboys off for farmers, then they moved the farmers off because the land was so damaged.
The thing about “homelands” is that a large chunk of us in the west have had it rather easy living in the anomaly that is the last 70 or 80 years. Being unimaginably wealthy like even the poorer folks have been , brings out the bad traits, and allowed us to get atomized to the point that plenty of folks don’t really think they have a homeland or a nation or sometimes even a society.
I was just mocking G above for having these luxury beliefs, and they are a luxury only available in a stable, high trust firstbworld society.
Rich people have always tended to get stupid after a generation or two, forgetting where the wealth come from. Our current rulers are remarkably stupid a lot of the time.
The middle class ,who are getting it in the neck now, did not give a damn about the working class being destroyed, because they caught rich people disorder and thought they could exist apart from the group. Even today many middle class people care more about signaling that they have rich person beliefs then what kind of place they will live in in their own life times.
Really kinda depressing cycle tbh.
Btw did you ever get your coup set up?
It’s very true that the most idealistic people probably do have the luxury of living in a first world country and in fact many of the ideas discussed by JC are from European philosophers. All this “stuff” the intellectual framework to examine the world comes from the west and yet people who are Europeans don’t even see the value in their own culture. That is sad.
So, I think you have a point that people might not even be able to understand until they live through some hardship first hand. I know that when I first started working in healthcare I was pretty idealistic and when reality set it, I had to be much more pragmatic.
On the other hand. I hate the government here and in Canada, so I get the anger and disgust.
I haven’t set up my coup yet but will be doing that soon. I finished up some landscaping and fencing though. I’ll have my coup set up at the end of fall and will start small.
Cu.h.j
“…I’ll have my coup set up at the end of fall and will start small.…”
If you start out the first lot under a heat light in a cage you can make them hand tame 🙂 ….the wife loved her Buff Orpington which was like a cat wanting to get petted.
A relative (allegedly ) had a hen that would come into the house and lay on command. I never saw it so….

“For Camatte, hope lay not in political revolution but in deserting the system: “We must abandon this world dominated by capital, which has become a spectacle of beings and things”. [9]
“Humans in the West have been “domesticated by capital” [10] since the 19th century, he said, and we need a deep-rooted turning away from its full-spectrum control.
““Our revolution as a project to reestablish community was necessary from the moment that ancient communities were destroyed”. [11]
“He envisaged “the destruction of urbanization and the formation of a multitude of communities distributed over the earth”, [12] with the creation of “a world where all the biological potentialities can finally develop”. [13]
“Camatte wrote: “A species in harmony with nature is needed”. [14] “The global human community can only exist on the basis of multiple and diverse communities, founded upon the specific historical and geographical foundations of each zone”. [15]”

In this article I provide in depth cultivation, foraging, ethnobotanical, nutrition and historical facts on six species of Hazelnut.
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/hazelnut-she-is-the-evoker-of-wisdom
For those of you with ancestry with roots in the northern hemisphere, whether you are aware of it or not, and whether or not you have ever eaten a hazelnut, it is likely your indigenous ancestors had a close-nit relationship with this plant family (and for good reason).
Here is “small” excerpt from the very long and in depth article:
Humans have been enjoying hazels since prehistoric times and research confirms that hazelnuts provided a staple source of food in cultivated (regenerative fire managed food forests in northern Europe and North America) before the days of wheat. Evidence of large-scale Mesolithic nut cultivation and processing, some 9,000 years old, was found in Scotland and Hazels have been used extensively across the temperate zone throughout all cultures.
Mesolithic thatched huts were often made with hazelwood beams. From cradle to grave, the people of Mesolithic Europe relied on hazel more than any other single plant. Excavations of habitation sites from this period can turn up hundreds of thousands of roasted hazelnut shells and containers where viable seeds were gathered and stored for planting. For over five thousand years, this single plant was the lifegiver to nearly all of Europe’s people.
Whereas modern industrial agriculture is descended from a distinctly imperialist Roman plantation system based on slave labor, European forest garden food production systems (which cultivated Hazel along side other nuts and fruit) are the direct descendants of the indigenous forest gardens of pre-agricultural Europe. Since the Neolithic Revolution, an assortment of farming systems in Europe that relied heavily on monocultures and a handful of finicky staple crops often ended abruptly and violently. The diverse forest gardens of indigenous peoples of Europe, however, have quietly shrugged off ten thousand years of turbulent changes.
In addition to hazel, Mesolithic people saved seeds from, cultivated and used up to 450 different species of edible plants – many of which were common plants of forest edge habitats. Acorns, Hazel nuts and Wild vegetables (many of which are considered weeds today) like nettle, knotweed, lesser celandine, dock, lambs quarters, fruits like sloe plum, rowan, hawthorn, crabapple, pear, cherry, grape, raspberry, and tubers of aquatic plants were all part of the Mesolithic diet. These European native plants were not only utilized, but also actively cultivated selectively by Mesolithic indigenous communities in what is now Europe for the same reason they are often seen as weeds today: they’re extremely resilient, aggressive, and adaptive species that can be encouraged to grow with minimal effort.
(continued..)
(..continued from comment above)
These were not bands of starving cavemen constantly on the precipice of death, but rich and resilient societies that had a much more diverse diet than most present-day Europeans. Researchers found that a young girl who died 5,700 years ago in southern Denmark ate duck and hazelnuts – a far richer (and tastier) diet than most kindergarteners in Western countries have today.
After helping to create Europe’s forests by bringing favored plants like hazel with them, they continued to manage their landscape with hand tools, seed saving practices and fire. Europe was not a pristine wilderness, but a continent of handcrafted nut orchards and semi-wild forest gardens carefully managed for thousands of years. This tracks with common themes around the world: indigenous people in Australia, North and South America, and elsewhere have used fire, seed saving and layering (asexual propagation of plants) and specialized hand tools to achieve unprecedented levels of environmental stewardship and management for millennia.
Areas around settlements and camp sites were regularly burned to limit the encroachment of the forest, replanted with choice species (like Hazel) and to favor self-propagating food-producing forest edge trees species as well. These controlled burns established open park-like habitats, which could lead to a tenfold increase in the amount of wild game animals present, creating greater opportunities for hunting red deer, wild boar, and aurochs.
Coppicing was another important strategy for managing the Mesolithic forest garden. Certain trees and shrubs, like hazel, can be cut to the ground every few years. Instead of hurting the tree, this effectively rejuvenates it, allowing the plant to live far longer than it would if unmanaged. Hazel in a wild state generally lives around 70 or 80 years, but with regular coppicing it can thrive and produce wood and nuts for centuries. Willow, another plant with many uses and benefits, is managed in this way as well. Coppicing lent itself perfectly to Mesolithic technology: without saws or metal tools, it was far easier to harvest small-diameter trees and branches than large trunks. For cultivating or regenerating patches of wild vegetables or semi-domesticated grains, Mesolithic Europeans also had a wide range of hand tools at their disposal, including flint axes, wooden and antler hoes, mattocks, and digging sticks. The open forest gardens that surrounded Mesolithic camp sites and settlements could be managed this way for millennia.
(continued..)
(..continued from comment above)
The practice of coppicing trees did not end in the Mesolithic either. The wild willow-thick streambanks became managed willow beds that were planted with cuttings of the best plants and grown along side Hazel for both food and weaving materials. These willow and hazel beds were coppiced every year for crafts and toolmaking. Hazel and Willow Wicker basketry became such an elevated artform in the British Isles that fine Celtic baskets were imported by Roman aristocrats. The word ‘basket’ itself (originally ‘bascauda’) is one of the only words of Celtic origin in the deeply colonized English language. Coppice woods of chestnut, linden, hazel, and other useful species have remained an essential and ancient part of the British landscape, providing materials for housing, tools and crafts, charcoal production, mushroom cultivation, and even rich pockets of endangered biodiversity.
Little wonder the hazel tree has become deeply entrenched in our ancient history, beliefs and customs.
Pre-colonial regenerative agroforestry (Food Forest farming) = resilience, anti-fragility, pattern recognition, humility, symbiosis, ecological literacy, giving hope, health and joy to the 7th generation that comes after us, fractally expressed bio-diversity enhancing-scalable abundance.
“Civilized” food cultivation systems (“Big Ag”) = Weak, feeble, futile attempts at human dominance and anthropocentrism, requiring constant chemical/energy intensive machine crutches to hold them up, parasitism, banking on trading the health and happiness of the 7th generation that comes after us for short term profits, laziness, and comfort, biodiversity stripping degenerative scarcity.
G
That was an interesting article.
I am not sure that agribusiness is related to Roman plantations though since the slave labor plantation system was not how they started out farming (they did regular small farms until the Empire got going) and they were importing food from Egypt for almost the whole imperial period. The Latifundia did destroy the rural people in Italy (running ten into the cities where they became lumpen proles) but system died out later and was replaced by peasant farming and the Manorial type farming which was still done by peasants on private strips, in Northern Europe anyway AFAIK.
I’d say agribusiness is more closely related to the enclosure movement and the agricultural revolution.
Still pretty interesting though.

Thanks for checking out my article, offering a critique of the small part that referenced the Roman plantations and sharing your thoughts.
Interesting regarding early (pre-empire) Roman culture, though, whether one wants to acknowledge the Roman slave labor famring link to modern Big Ag or not, the soil destroying (exploitative and extractive) nature of Roman Empire agriculture has a clearly discernable line of continuity connecting to modern industrial corporate agriculture (“Big Ag”). Some of the main points which parallel are explored in this book.
Dirt : The Erosion Of Civilizations
by David R. Montgomery
I do recommend buying a copy to those interested in this subject matter but i`ll link the free ebook below via archive dot org for reference as well.
Full length ebook available here: https://archive.org/details/dirterosionofciv0000mont_w9u4

that does look like an interesting book.
I kinda suspect that cereal agriculture in general would tend to mess up the soil, esp when ploughing deeply. Being a bit pedantic I guess, but it’s not IMO a “Roman” trait, though they certainly could do stuff (good and bad) at scale.
I am not an expert on soil or ancient farming but I kinda suspect that you could draw the same line of soil erosion back to Mesopotamia- the Egyptians used to farm on the soil the Nile was washing down every year in the floods, so they didn’t need ti worry about it ,I guess since soil erosion worked the , opposite way for them, lol.
I read the Greeks let their goats cause erosion when they arrived in Greece, and it used to look a lot greener.
The other day I was listening to an audio book and it mention passing how much soil gets washed down the Yellow river, which made it kinda amazing they have any left.
I’d like to take a look at that posted book, but i have a fair bit going on right now.
The preview of the book you linked had a section in the contents page on the life cyclic of civilation which makes me wonder if he will be on the same “page” (lol) as Jarad Diamon in collapse.

Here is a presentation by the author that may be more compatible with multi-tasking:
“Dave Montgomery – Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations”

(Good point about Egyptians banking on the deposits of the Nile, though soil erosion created via tilling and/or deforestation is a very different animal than natural erosion of nutrient rich fine particulate matter, aka silt, from run off, mountains etc).

Thanks for that link- it was pretty interesting though I feel like I’ve heard him before somewhere from years back.
He makes very good points although it turned out the population was about to start dropping instead of rising. He even talked about the Egyptian flood agriculture and Rockey old Greece.
Thanks again
I will listen to the 2nd one later on.

Another more recent interview with the author:
“What your food ate with David R. Montgomery”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDoOv-eRIOg
“He looks at the process shaping Earth’s surface and how they affect ecological systems—and human societies. He has studied everything from the ways that landslides and glaciers influence the height of mountain ranges, to the way that soils have shaped human civilizations both now and in the past. He has worked in mountain ranges throughout the world, from the Cascades in the Pacific Northwest, to the Andes in South America and Tibet and the Himalaya in Central Asia.
What is the state of the world’s soil, and how has soil degradation shaped the course and fate of past civilizations? Why is soil life so critical to regenerative farming? How fast can regenerative farming practices bring degraded soil back to life? How do farming practices affect the nutritional profile of crops? Does soil health influence human health? We all know that diet matters and have heard the old adage you are what you eat. But dig a little deeper and the importance of what your food ate comes into focus. For how we treat the soil on farms ripples through to affect the amount of health protective micronutrients and phytochemicals in our crops, and what we feed livestock affects the mix of fats in meat and dairy products. Modern farming practices reliant on frequent tillage, excessive applications of soluble nitrogen fertilizers, and reliance on pesticides have both degraded agricultural soils and reduced the amount of beneficial compounds in foods. Yet in farms in both the industrialized and developing worlds improving soil health through adoption a combination of three transformational regenerative farming practices—minimizing soil disturbance, planting cover crops, and growing diverse crop rotations—offers a profitable way to rebuild the fertility of the soil and thereby reduce dependence on fossil fuels and agrochemicals. Combining ancient wisdom with modern science, regenerative practices can be good for farmers and the environment, translating into farms that use less water, generate less pollution, lower carbon emissions, stash carbon underground, and produce more nutrient-dense food to better support human health. It turns out that what’s good for the land is good for us too.”

One thing the Roman’s predecessors (the Greeks) apparently did get right is that they associated the Hazelnut with fecundity and fertility.
Modern research confirms that Hazelnuts benefit reproductive health in both men and women due to their rich nutrient profile. They are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats that improve sperm quality, increase fertility, and support overall reproductive health.
Thus, after discovering this fact while researching for my Hazel article, I went back and updated my article on Fertility and Reproductive Health Enhancing whole foods and naturally occurring compounds with pertinent info on Hazel’s benefits in that realm (specific part of article updated linked below).

FHI top official dead – highly respected in Norway and Europe
Are Stuwitz Berg, Director of Infection Control at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI), died earlier this month.
Berg passed away on July 6, writes Aftenposten , which has published an obituary written by FHI colleagues. The 53-year-old died after a few months of illness.
…
– Many will remember Are from several media appearances during the pandemic, where he conveyed complex messages in a simple way. He led the practical implementation of the corona vaccination program and supported professionals across the country in their work, the obituary states.

Norway’s 54-Year-Old COVID Vaccine Rollout Czar DIES SUDDENLY
Are Stuwitz Berg, a respected pediatrician and senior official at Norway’s Institute of Public Health, who lead the nation’s COVID-19 vaccination roll out, has died suddenly at just 54 years old.
…
He also became a famous face in Norway for his frequent TV appearances reassuring the public about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines—particularly as Norway rolled out mass immunization campaigns in 2021 and 2022.
…
However, the official narrative remains eerily consistent with past cases: no cause of death is provided, no discussion of his health status or vaccination history, and no mention of the risks faced by those committed to being vaccinated and boosted.

Is the implication here that the fella may have been suicided?
I think it is implied that he got “vaxcided”, or killed by the jab.
