  1. David Icke decades ago brought to light the use of Problem, Reaction, Solution in the control of people.
    In that light the web, the government, and cable news are doing their parts in bringing out all the “bad” things that are and have been done seeking the “Do something” of the Reaction to pull off the preconceived or planed “Solution.”

    The convenient timing of 6 million Epstein files is no coincidence when the ICE madness is in the forefront of the public’s mind, as well as the bombing of Venzulian sailors using the made up “Narco Terrorist” BS, and all the various ways of watching us, and on and on. Just like they release things on a Friday to get out of the short lived “news cycle.”

    Indeed women were brutalized and deserve their time in court but they won’t get it.

    If you look at what Congress is NOT doing then it is obvious….
    Our history is our foreseeable future, since neither the beliefs and practices, nor the controllers profiting from it have changed.

    Without a collective NO from the people it will be bad business as usual.

      That is a nice packet… The collective No. I have thought all morning about why YouTube, tick tock , Facebook,ect.ect. have opened the corrals of the wild conspiracy therapists. It’s a dump, much like the files dump of Epstein. Too much information to absorb in the bracketed attention span of the people who would take the time to read the dump. By the time it’s correlated, absorbed and formulated to the existing frame work of cultural justice of the injured party; the world has moved on. A beautiful technique to dilute the possible prosecutorial power of the agora. Poisoning the judiciary. Retribution and vengeance never formulated as an palliative to curb those behaviours in the future. Fair play has systematically been removed from the American culture . Where did it go , and how was it disabled?
      You have said how little TV you where exposed to. During Cov19 a common observation I made was the more information I provided to my near hysterical friends to calm their anxiety, the people all wound up turning on the TV, first for the evening news then to running the TV half a day the to having those 56″ big screens on 24 hours. All were on CNN.
      I pointed this out to them. They never turned it off during my wellness visits , nor did they turn it down. Several turned it up. All went to 24~7 .The most bizarre behavior I’ve ever seen. Untill recently. Your collective No is being assembled again
      But the No is from the wrong direction and from the wrong perspective. The No seems to be from the over saturation of to much information. Not from a TV but the hand held communication device, the desk top screen . Untill and When all these affiliates, more being created and started up weekly, form a singular Network , like the original models of the past will we ever know what No can mean.
      This formate isn’t doing what is needed it’s repeating the past. As you indicated, bad Business as usual.

        >>That is a nice packet…>>
        Not sure what that means but thanks.

        >>I have thought all morning about why …Too much information to absorb in the bracketed attention span… By the time it’s correlated,…the world has moved on.>>
        Precisely. The controllers may be sociopathic but are quite brilliant with their knowledge of human psychology/behavior that has led us to this current mess. The loss of critical thinking skills and more “Egregore” or collective group mind think from the pop culture poisons are being successful unfortunately.

        For some it will just be conspirtainment, for others who’s fragility is thin they may dig deeper in their various neurotic behavior from preppers to whatever.
        Hell, it even has us talking about it :-/

        >>…Fair play has systematically been removed from the American culture . Where did it go , and how was it disabled?>>
        Indeed. Their weapons of mass distraction/confusion from the media and entertainment biz are powerful. The CIA’s 1960 introduction of “Conspiracy Theory” into the lexicon was an atom bomb level move.
        Far too many people want to “get over” or “prank” others rather then seek some common intellectual/philosophical common ground.

        >>…During Cov19 a common observation I made was the more information I provided to my near hysterical friends…the people all wound up turning on the TV,… All were on CNN.>>
        Just as I mentioned above. We can only do what we can do as cliche’ as that sounds but is true.

        When you offer your excellent insights here on TCR you really don’t know just how many lurkers are being inspired but it is very necessary to behave without any preconceived expectations, outcomes.

        >>I pointed this out to them…Your collective No is being assembled again>>
        Indeed, I believe from my observations that the very weapon of distraction, confusion of the controllers and in spite of all the narcissistic, ego driven blog gurus seeking likes and $$, a thread of consciousness is being elevated.
        In my case the Tartarian and Mud Flood evidence, not opinions, is a world wide event enabling people to “peek under the tent” where are true history is being hidden.

        >>But the No is from the wrong direction and from the wrong perspective.>>
        Perhaps, we will see won’t we? 🍿

        • FYI~ EJ D
          Packet hasn’t changed much since the early 1800. It is a power packed word… James Fenimore Cooper’s first successes in literature was about a Packet Ship Captain, his adventures and admiration for liberty, freedom and the rule of law, at sea or land. It highlights the integrity of the messenger that delivers the packet of data without corruption of the original by third parties. However the contents can be a pack of lies but the delivery was not. The integrity of the delivery is today somehow confused with the integrity of the contents of the packet. Stupid people do stupid things.
          To day ,if you care to look ,

          Packets of mail , integrity of mail and the morality of mail hasn’t changed much but the contents of the package has.
          Your packet seems to be honest and intact as is the delivery. Rare thing today, a nice packet.

            Good summary. Less about what it is and more what it is about on a social level.

            It also reflects what I call Internectuals who cut and paste web stuff they really know nothing about but are just in that Confirmation Bias reality of selecting information supporting their views, ignoring contrary information.

            >>Your packet seems to be honest and intact as is the delivery. Rare thing today, a nice packet.>>
            Thanks a rare compliment here for me, appreciate it.

  2. Thank you for this interview. I do also want total freedom for all but, like you say, I can find few who can comprehend what no government would look like except for bad things.

    I do also use RSS feeds to follow the websites I am interested in, and I learned that from you, so thank you for that valuable advice too. I purchased a software-free PC and uploaded a Linux OS to it; my PC has no camera, WiFi, Bluetooth because I don’t want those things. I hard wired it to my router and have wired headphones. All my software is free open source stuff. I love it.

    You are not talking into the void if one ancient English woman manages to follow what you say and agrees with you enough to take action. I am finding my tribe slowly but they exist.

    All the best from the cloudy cold climes of the south coastal area of the UK.

  3. I think one of the biggest takeaways from the files is that Epstein was motivated not by Zionism but buy ethnic Jewish supremacy, talking frequently about the “Goyim”. I think this mindset contributed to his narcissism and interest in eugenics; he thought his ethnic heritage made him and some of his cronies (Branfman, Wexner, Black, Maxwell, etc.) better than everyone else. When people think they are superior to others, they can rationalize doing evil things to them.

    • Ancap

      Kevin McDonald “culture of critique “ is the book that really goes into how Jewish ethno narcissism has let them coordinate and shape movements wiyhoout needing to do much central planning.

      • Thanks for the recommendation (and for the Le Cercle one as well). Just from reading a synopsis, I think it could make sense that Ashkenzai Jews developed a high in-group preference/ethnic narcissism since they were discriminated against. Similarly, there is a guy named Gregory Cochran who believes Ashkenzai Jews are so intelligent because they were not allowed to own property in the Middle Ages and thus could only have cognitive jobs. According to the theory, those who were not intelligent enough for a cognitive job could not sustain themselves and have children, resulting in a community where only the most intelligent had offspring.

  4. Just to mention that me too I want total freedom and sovereignty; I read the brothers Karamazov twice, one of my favorites! and actually bought the episode you were talking about when Jesus came back to earth and the Inquisitor incarcerated him because people cannot handle freedom on a cd to listen to while driving. I also gave it away multiple times, never got a reaction. I know, peoples eyes glaze over when you talk about freedom…I am behind with my RSS feed, nor have I uploaded linux, I am digiphobe and old, but I know that’s no excuse, reading OLDVAL up here…

    • Hey Claudia

      We’d really be better off the internet altogether. I also have a Linux based smartphone and a dumb phone too which I can switch my SIM card into when I need to (ahem) ‘prove’ I don’t have a smartphone. No point in getting older if we don’t get wilier too.

  5. I remember I was really looking forward to see James’ take on the Charlie Kirk situation at the time. This was almost an unprecedented situation that shocked not only America but the whole world.

    I personally did not like or listen to Charlie either but to witness such an execution of a popular public figure streamed live via hundreds of sources certainly felt like an important enough topic to investigate, especially given the extremely shady mainstream narrative offered at the time that almost nobody believed.

    In the horrors of the event, everyone investigated. Everyone speculated. Everybody but James.

    Two days pass and I remember logging in here again to see James’ carefully crafted opinon of it. Full NWNW episode posted, 2 days after the assassination, and the story doesn’t make it into the episode, instead discussing RFK, autism and 9/11. At that point I thought this is odd. Days, weeks and months later, still not a word. Instead, lots of videos on arguably irrelevant topics.

    Fast forward to this episode, when James is asked about his take on the Charlie Kirk situation, he goes: I don’t know, am I even allowed to say this? I don’t care. I honestly have not spent one moment on it. I don’t care!

    Am I the only one who finds this odd? An independent researcher who addressed literally every single such story ever. How do you respond like this on such an important story? This is up there at the level of JFK’s assassination. He addressed that one, maybe tens of times. Why not this one? It’s just very odd.

    Never really seen him abstain like that on a subject before, and I’ve watched him for years.

    Am I reading too much into it?

    • I have noted that James has abstained from reporting on overt left-right hyped up stories for a long time. I find myself doing it, too. That is, I am often repelled, and loathe chiming in on the ginned up issue of the day…
      Things like the Kirk killing can be analyzed, and clearly have significance, but when they become the center ring act of the circus they become absurd and repugnant.
      Unless you have some solid evidence in these cases, it can be better to not speculate. Perhaps James had nothing solid enough or unique to add. All I know is that I don’t know.

      • Couldn’t agree more, not having something solid or unique to add is fair. My surprise was more with the lack of intrest on the subject.

    • Miron

      Accedemic Agent over in YouTube land did a thing about how the media was making a muchness out of notjing wiyh the Erica Kirk kiss….the subject is so full of skunkery that there is no real way to know anything for sure IMO.

      Tbh I don’t have any issue believing a weirdo gay dude went wild n shot him…though he probably had a crew of ither freaks to help him and why they have not been brought into ten story indint know. Last I heard the FBI lost his tranny lover and wasn’t looking to hard to find it

      • Of course there is a lot of skunkery about it but I don’t think this should be used as justification to avoid it. JFK’s assassination probably was full of skunkery when it happened. 9/11 was full of skunkery when it happened. Covid19 was full of skunkery when it happened. Now sure, the CK assasination isn’t quite at the same scale with some of those other events that had much more of a global impact, but you get the point.

        In my opinion, the fact that there was so much skunkery about is even more of a reason for investigative minds to bring the cold facts to the table. Not talking about speculation, although at times speculation based on reasonable evidence and probability is the best we get. The bare minimum, stone-cold facts, that’s what I personally expect of the independent minds of the investigative journalists that I follow. Especially since this particular subject had the potential to help people step out of the left-right paradigm that the ridiculous mainstream narrative was promoting.

        • I can only speculate on James’ motives. Perhaps he can only do no more than speculate on certain topics like this, and has chosen to opt out of the cacophony and confusion on this one.
          My speculations include a shared revulsion to these left-right media and online circuses.
          I think James expression of this disdain is impatient, and can seem dismissive of people who see this as an important topic. But, although he is great, he is also human and subject to emotions and pressures. If we chime in with nothing new or substantive, are we furthering the manipulative divide and conquer agendas that threaten us?

          • I would love to know what really happened with shooting of Trump’s ear, and the spraying of Ilhan Omar during a speech. Who was behind these things. Among a hundred other relevant topics. But many seem impossible to penetrate without leaping to partisan and generalized ideological stances.
            Gratefully, we are encumbered by the principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty.’ I say gratefully, as the alternative is much worse.

            PS This is only more of a problem now, as we can’t even trust video and audio to be authentic, and free of Ai tampering.

            PPS Idle speculation has become a problem in its own right, with the glut of things to hear and read. The overload is actually a problem that the sketchy social engineers have learned to leverage into apathy and paralysis.

        • miron

          true, but at the end of the day speculating when we dont actually have good information is often a waste of time. The question about Charlie Kirk might be

          Do it matter?

          In what way has it changed events going on?
          What outcomes will this lead to?

          Those questions matter a lot more then if it was the sodomite or the Isralis or the CIA or his wife or whoever else pulling the trigger.

    • I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before his alleged assassination, but I think it should not be ignored because it appears to be part of a psyop that is pushing ‘Christian’ Americans to be anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and anti-Jewish.

      The assassination was analyzed by Russianvids and it appears to have been yet another staged event.

      ‘Popular’ commentators like Candace Owens (a new age Catholic) and Tucker Carlson (a Kabbalist wanna-be Catholic) are saying Charlie Kirk was turning against Israel before his alleged assassination. They are also saying things about Jews that are deemed by some to be ‘anti-semetic’ (of course any criticism of Israel or Jews is labelled as such).

      At the same time, there’s a video The Eighth Front: Israel at War with Reality in which Netanyahu says “it’s called the Jews against Rome”, and he says the new Rome is the United States. The battlefield is social media. https://republicbroadcasting.org/news/the-eighth-front-israel-at-war-with-reality/

      Was the Charlie Kirk psyop orchestrated to get people to make comments about Israel and Jews that they will be punished for in the future?

  6. Instead of using the RSS feed, I bookmark the website I find interesting, and check it everyday (or when necessary). I don’t think this is a hard task. I thought everyone did it that way. Isn’t “checking your bookmarks” essentially the same as “checking your RSS Feed”?

    • RSS is better because you can just hit your feed reader or pod catcher rather than book marks. But that’s just my opinion, if it works for you keep doing it 🙂

  7. Who-the-fuk-is-charlie-kirk ? That is and has been my stance on that poorly executed theatrical production since day one. Especially after slo-mo watching the shared clip where, while his bad-actors-club possi hog-carried him – sans drips, drops, or any sign of blood stain – to the suv, I saw that Kirk was in total control of his mostly 90-degreed (that is, pointed straight up perpendicular) half-assed flopping feet. Unless of course rigor mortis had already set in. Ohhp, I’m sure. Just like there was no ‘blood’ splattered anywhere but on his plain white tee because his ‘killer’ severed the one arterial vein of the neck that somehow doesn’t allow blood to escape post puncture.

    Oh . my . gawwwd.

    All said, I would have been both disheartened and disappointed had you directed your attention and aligned your thoughts with the lamestream, as well, a surprising number of independent journalists – many of whom are seemingly still obsessed.

    Instead, I find myself thrilled over you having voiced your thoughts in this interview.

    Simply stated: “I don’t care.”

    Touché!

    And thank you, James!

  8. James,
    I guess I am part of that fraction of 1% who totally agrees with you.
    We need no ‘authorities’ or ‘government’, we should be responsible for and take responsibility of our own lives.
    Love your work
    Thank you

  9. Maybe I can help regarding the reason why over 99% of the audience “bafflingly continues to come back to The Corbett Report, despite not truly, actually believing in voluntaryism and freedom”: they perhaps think it isn’t necessary to agree on absolutely every single point in order to seek the truth (?) I’m only guessing, of course, but they might even think this is a place where facts matter more than opinions.

    Because if we’re going to debate about political opinions, mine is that it’s the very notion of ideologies that should be discarded, which is – I can assure – an even less popular idea: you literally upset all and everyone! To me, the concept of an ideological tribe is yet another illusion. Anyway, this is my position but I won’t impose it on anyone either.

    • Mr Corbett is a great journalist and digs up a lot of interesting stuff. I don’t agree with his political ideas all that much but I respect his research skills a lot
