Book! Reportage –
What was your favorite essay?
Up/Down Politics was most original .
Selling Your Soul for a Matrix Steak is my favorite. More we learn about banking the better it will be for us downists…
However I’ve only read up to the last 3 essays, it couldn’t get any better? Why? Accurately notated. Well conceived. Good start Mr. Core-`Bett.
@GBW
Matrix Steak! Man that sounds like it would be a good one!
I often think of that slimy sell out guy on the Matrix movie when I am talking to people that have been exposed to (and fully understand the truth) about lets say, how inherently corrupt our involuntary governance structure is, but then they willingly “hit the snooze button” and get all wrapped up in the “us” vs “them” nonsense with political parties next time an election comes around.
Or even more so with the people that knew the mRNA injections were bad news, but took them anyways, not so they could keep their job or anything like that, but just so they could travel to a tropical beach, or go to a restaurant or concert. But hey, everyone has to choose their own path when they get presented with the matrix steak I suppose.
The metaphor also makes me think of these kids with their VR goggles, eating all that “Matrix Steak” each time the weird images that are being projected into their eyes give them a dopamine hit, and they feel less and less interested in living in the real world.
Thanks for the comment, I am even more stoked for diving in to start reading when I receive my copy now! 🙂
————————–
Has anyone reading this who lives in Canada received a copy of the book yet?
G
Hope that book arrives soon. It is a pleasant read with some areas that are familiar, and some a little harder to conceive. It very well could be a text book in contemporary political science or history. 2000-3000 level. I could make em cry at learning this . Like they did me. I went to an inner developmental class given to jrs, by the President Emeritus and couldn’t get what he was up to. I begged him to give me a hint as to what was trying to be conveyed and he told me it’s not what you see but what don’t you see. Like your fine art study’s, spot the illusions and how they are made, the real art. The art of illusion. He then said start reading Machiavelli
and get a little head start. That’s what it’s all about. He was hard but the Machiavelli showed me my world view was quite small and with each waking moment I got it more and more…
G , he taught me It’s all a great sculpture, a great illusion. You can observe and do nothing or get out of bed and add to it. Even where I Live thanks to you I see, there are remnants of the old village and grave yard. Everything’s here but paw-paws, food forest placed carefully, spread out . Whether it was Osage , 1400 or the later Cherokee 1800 they keep a lot of food around that wasn’t readily visible. A good political as well as military strategy, hide in plan sight. I got to reintroduce paw-paws to the forest.
And Cor`Bett to the senior citizens, and youths lectures at the library.
@GBW
Thanks! Me too.
“It’s all a great sculpture, a great illusion. You can observe and do nothing or get out of bed and add to it.”
I like that a lot, well said.
“Everything’s here but paw-paws, food forest placed carefully, spread out . Whether it was Osage, 1400 or the later Cherokee 1800 they keep a lot of food around that wasn’t readily visible.”
Indeed, the more I develop my arboreal literacy the more I am able to perceive the remnants of a genius incognito food production system here as well.
It is funny, according to some, spending lots of time in the forest, looking closely at trees, crawling around picking up nuts, foraging for mushrooms and looking at the beings that dwell in that place with reverence makes you “less civilized” and spending more time in buildings, deep in the city, with lots of glowing screens and gadgets makes you “more civilized”. Yet those “highly civilized” folks would likely starve to death in the forest while being surrounded in food and medicine due to their poverty of botanical knowledge.
Becoming capable of knowing our non-human community members, speaking their names, recognizing them as kin and seeing their gifts, as well as perceiving when other humans have put trees in a place in the distant past with a specific strategy in mind (and building on it) is sort of like having the key to a vault filled with infinite food, medicine, resilience, beauty and pathways of learning that you could spend 50 lifetimes exploring and still have more to learn.
Well I am grateful and humbled to hear what I share has offered you a sort of cypher for perceiving the abundance (and potential for abundance) all around us (which is often invisible to all the “highly civilized folks”).
I cannot remember if I sent you any Pawpaw seeds. If not and you want some I still have a few I can send your way. Just let me know.
I was just out guerilla garden planting some pawpaws the other day. The dog walkers were out and gave me funny looks, as I was on all fours, gently pulling back the snow dusted leaf litter and digging into that rich forest soil to drop in a few seeds before replacing the soil and leaves. They looked at me like I was some kind of criminal doing something unapproved and uncivilized, and they were probably right, I laughed and kept on planting 🙂
If you do Corbett lectures for seniors and youths I wanna hear how that goes.
My book arrived yesterday. Corbett’s dedication alone moved me: “To my children, and their children, and their children’s children: j’ai fait mon possible.” [I did my best]
I may have this written on my epitaph.
It’s simple yet profound.
Whooowho ! James,
the more I read the better it gets.
You really wrote this?.
Biotech Billionaires and GMO Doomsday, has now surpassed the chapter on Matrix Steak as a work of art. Just a little bit more , because it connects to the mindset behind Mr. Global Chemical and the continuation of the agenda. The eugenics agenda of population reduction. Technocracy and Transhumanism through better pharmaceutical, chemical synchronicity. A unrecognizable death trap the prey falls into. Cunning , devious, and hard to detect before the deathly damage has past the point of no return.
COVID, same or a continuation of the agenda. Profit, performance and execution without detection. Evil. There is a movie in this, the Pit and the pendulum, Dracula, Frankenstein, adventures of Lot in the land of the Jews . All catering to our desire to face evil death, triumph over evil and completely detract from the man behind the curtain.
This book has some legs.
Thanks for the review. I trust it was extremely objective…
I haven’t got my copy yet, but I intend to get one, maybe more, if I perceive that my friends and family would actually give it a shot.
I loved Reportage; just finished reading it. Ending reminded me in a way of some parts of Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments and yes, I would certainly place you in that glad company. Best bits for me were always the glimpses of anarchy’s possibilities.
Now, who do I give my second copy of Reportage to, that is the question?
Am I the only one who thinks Karl Malden’s death was suspicious?
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to wish ya`ll great germination rates on those garden seedlings and share a link to my most recent in depth article on taking steps to embrace health sovereignty through seeing food as medicine.
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/neuroprotective-and-neuroregenerative-foods
In the article linked above I share information on a list of 77 (yes you got that right 77!) Foods, herbs, naturally occurring compounds, vitamins and minerals that offer Neuroprotective, Neuro-regenerative and Synapto-regenerative benefits.
“Synapto-regenerative you say! What is that some kind of Borg transhumanist Elon Musk implant!?”
No my friends, this article is all about protecting/optimizing your 100% God given organic human brain! 🙂
Some of these foods, herbs, fungi and naturally occurring compounds I list help to protect your existing brain cells and optimize their function. Some of them can actually help to enhance the process of the production of new brain cells (initiating Neurogenesis) these would be foods and compounds that offer “neuroregenerative” benefits. Others help to encourage the formation of new connections between neurons and synapses (initiating Synaptogenesis) and these would be foods and compounds that offer “Synapto-regenerative” benefits. Some of the foods I list enhance all three of those processes simultaneously!
There are also specific physical and mental activities that can greatly augment the brain protecting and/or regenerating effects of these foods when they are engaged in in conjunction with eating said foods.
Neuroprotective refers to the preservation of nerve cell structure and function. Neuroprotective strategies and nutritional agents can help prevent nerve damage, maintain cognitive resilience and slow the progression of neurological diseases.
Nutrition influences both the development and health of brain structure and function, as it provides essential elements for the brain to create and maintain connections, which is critical for improved cognition.
The brain produces new neurons throughout life, especially in the hippocampus. This can be enhanced through diet.
Neurogenesis is a process that involves growing a new neuron. Certain foods and activities accelerate this process (regardless of age). This can help replace dead cells and enhance brain repair (hang over anyone?).
Synaptogenesis is the formation of new synapses in the brain.
Synapses are the connecting points between your 100 billion brain cells. You have trillions of synapses in your brain, and your brain cells communicate with one another across them. Certain foods and activities can enhance or diminish rates of Synaptogenesis in your brain.
I hope the list of 77 brain healing, protecting and optimizing foods, herbs, vitamins and minerals helps you to unlock even greater levels of creativity, joy and focus in your life, empowering you to be a powerful force for positive change in your community.
Less is more.
@hanky
That is true and applicable in many areas of life.
In this particular instance did you mean in a linguistic sense or a dietary sense?
I do eat tofu, but not much. It rhymed nicely, and the vegan haters can love my song, thinking that I am one of them. Tempeh is more digestible, but eating more than a little, especially in combination with other foods, such as fruit, will still make you fart.
My research largely consists of monitoring myself and my family for a day after consuming anything. This trumps most research done on products we are sold.
The harmonica is nice, but my condition at 66 is more relevant. I took no supplements or drugs, and if I did, I would do them one at a time, and try to objectively evaluate their effect. In the past, most were negative the long term.
@hanky
Something else I think is worth pointing out is that when “Less is more” is taken to its extreme, and becomes a universally applied maxim and/or centrally motivating slogan/prevailing tendency (“Less is more worship” if you will) it has the potential to become something that promotes stagnation and superficial interactions in some cases.
When one is living by the “less is more” slogan in an extreme way, one can avoid doing any substantive investigation into that which could threaten established comfortable worldviews in the individual. The individual could use it as a sort of excuse to re-enforce confirmation biases by telling themselves something like “if I was to read this data in front of me (which challenges my existing worldview/opinion on something) that would be ‘overconsumption of data’..” In others words, it could just become an excuse for laziness.
In that context, one might describe TikTok and Instagram as the embodiment of “less is more”, but those truncated, squeezed little bit sized expressions of images and information are incapable of exploring the nuances and complexities required to truly understand many topics.
For instance, it would be almost impossible to make James Corbett’s How Black Rock Conquered The World or Media Matrix series into TikTok videos.
Sometimes, explaining and informing others about the complexity and nuances of certain topics, necessitates voluminous quantities of words.
In other words, sometimes less is not more, less is, in fact, just less.
I just thought 77 was more than I could digest.
@hanky
No need to read about all 77 in one sitting, and no need to try all 77, it is a guide for people planning for medicinal gardens and using food as medicine so they can pick and choose what works for them.
I am glad that I went all out and gathered that many items on the list, though the amount of words in that article are sure gonna cost me at the printing press when I publish them in my next book! 🙂
Don’t take my jabs too seriously. I just love double entendre, irony, and humor.
But seriously, I have a skeptical filter about almost everything, and while said filter is certainly imperfect, it usually beats swallowing everything that is given to us by salesmen and ‘experts.’ Keep in mind, every highly touted nutritional item has people selling it for money and/or confirmation bias ego reasons. (Like COVID)
It is tough, but I feel the bottom line is the feedback I get from my own system, despite what I want to believe.
This business about chickens and eggs got me thinking on the tangent of veganism. I have been swept up recently in the backlash against vegans. There is a lot of disinfo about it.
I understand the reaction to the modern youngster vegan ‘movement,’ but I see things from a more intimate perspective. I am not part of that activist movement, but I have been a strict vegan for 35 years. I was a ‘vegetarian’ for 15 years, prior to that. (I am turning 76 soon).
I switched from a poor standard American diet for reasons of personal survival and health, NOT moral strength or persuasion. IF my health was not at stake, I know that, I would have remained as I was, and ignorant. I don’t merit a high horse, morally. But that is a big IF. Was I chosen by a higher power to find this path through years of suffering? Who knows? I did experience a great rejuvenation at the age of 40, even doing new tricks on the side, when I became a gymnastics coach. I must admit, that now I am finally feeling my age, my wife too, but I can still avoid doctors and drugs, and keep working on my own schedule. I just finally need to slow down and be more careful.
Back to the disinfo. As with the Covid BS, I should not be alive, let alone healthier, now that I have followed my own lights. I should mention that my wife and three kids have done fine with this regime. We have enjoyed dozens and dozens of cumulative decades without doctors and drugs. They are all above average, in enough noteworthy ways. The boys were great athletes, and all three were, and are, exceptional, mentally and academically.
When I had to switch away from meat and milk, I started to consider the possibility that the health benefits of these products, were not being objectively represented by their formidable respective sale forces. In fact, many health issues, especially ‘autoimmune,’ are made worse with animal product consumption. Especially, when a person has been subjected to vaccines, etc. (It is relevant that chicken eggs, themselves, are essential to vaccine manufacturing). https://www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccine-process/index.html
So here is another solution to the egg squeeze… Don’t panic. I haven’t touched one in over 50 years.
Here, I perform one of my songs at the age of 65. Yes, I was in the hospital. (as a visitor)

@hanky
Thanks for sharing about your path towards a plant based diet.
I think that there is a lot of nonsense, lies and exaggerations that are slung around by both vegans and meat-centric diet proponents.
For example, Weston A. Price Foundation has put out quite a bit of misleading/incomplete information about various protein rich seeds and certain veggies that contain anti-nutrients (like oxalates, phytates and lectins). I subscribe to their magazine as it has some helpful info in it, but I find that due to their largely livestock farming advertising base, their articles seem to have a slant to them that go out of their way to push generalized fear mongering about alternative protein sources to meat.
The organization discusses fermentation in their publication, but avoids addressing the research that shows how fermentation can denature said anti-nutrients.
They often warn people about “the dangers of eating Hemp Seeds” which is nonsense and seems like a flimsy move to demonize animal protein alternatives in an silly aggressive crusade against anything related to plant based diets.
Hemp seed is one of mankind’s oldest cultivated crops with a long history of food use around the world and still eaten by over a billion people weekly.
I find that kind of generalized biased propaganda (and/or poorly researched publications) just as annoying and disingenuous as when vegans try to tell people that eating meat is bad for you (when humans have obviously included meat in their diet for a long time and in some cultures with solid life expectancy rates).
When it comes to things like these, taking a look at the historical dietary norms of ancient cultures which depended on staple crops (some were seeds) and some things with relatively high oxalic acid and lectin rich content can provide some much needed context, perspective and level headedness.
What I find is that many people who say things like “WATCH OUT FOR THIS ANTI-NUTRIENT!! ALL FOODS CONTAINING IT ARE DANGEROUS!!!” are either being given generalized and incomplete data about that subject matter by some guru type person they follow, or they themselves are involved in aggressively advocating a specific type of diet (for what ever reason) and so they are making wide sweeping statements about foods that do not fall into their diet regiment as a sort of red herring tactic.
The fermentation and/or cooking part is key in the majority of how we prepare and enjoy our amaranth (containing oxolates) and goji harvests (high in lectins) as the fermentation process neutralizes the anti-nutrients which are present in many legumes that can inhibit the absorption of calcium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc. Additionally, many forms of fermentation serve to increase the levels of B-vitamins in the resulting fermented food (as a metabolic byproduct of the Lactic Acid Bacteria that often play a key role in the process) so this also helps especially in a vegetarian/vegan diet.
@hanky
I watched your youtube video.
You are quite skilled with that harmonica.
I am not a big fan of Soy Tofu myself, I do make Tempeh at home (sometimes with our homegrown Hokkaido Black Soybeans and sometimes with other legumes like Runner Beans) and I am gonna be experimenting with making Hickory Nut and Walnut “Tofu” later this year. I also wanna try making Korean “Dotorimuk” and “Kashikiri” which are a tofu-esk foods that are made of acorns of an oak tree.
Do you make your own Tofu, or do you buy it?
If you make it, what is your process? or what company do you buy it from?
What I have noticed with many of the virtue signalling vegans from around here is that they do not educate themselves about the (above mentioned) anti-nutrients which are in seeds like soybeans, and so they end up buying things like Tofu (and other processed soy based products) that are either GMO or conventionally grown (so both soaked in nasty chemicals) and the soy bean products were not made from sprouted nor fermented beans (leading to serious anti-nutrient problems in the resulting food and making them look all anemic and pale).
That is not to say all vegans do that, but the majority I ask in the grocery store here in Ontario have no idea about why fermenting or sprouting soybeans before using them to make food is important.
I like to use most of our soybeans to make Miso paste (as that is a fermentation process that involves multiple fermenting organisms which each serve an important role in breaking down anti-nutrients and making the nutrients in the soybeans more bioavailable).
Thanks for sharing your tofu music.
Glad to hear your health improved by changing your diet. I have had the opposite reaction to a vegan diet health wise. Even when I adopted “clean” vegan eating, my health suffered and my labs and hormone levels were off. Once I went back to eating meat I felt much better. So for me, the converse is true.
I opine that there are lots of essential nutrients in meat and eggs and raw dairy. The caveat being that meat should not be poisoned with hormones and other chemicals or tortured prior to slaughter.
I think the dogma around diet and it becoming an identity is problematic and rather silly. I am glad research is being challenged about fatty meat causing heart disease and how grains, plants, and sugar are required or should be the bulk of a human diet. I think science tends to go with who’s funding it, sort of like “climate science”.
I think there are some individual variation in gut microbiome and genomic differences between individuals that allow some people to tolerate some foods better than others.
I’ve eaten mostly carbohydrates and plants for over 40 years (some processed foods-but very little compared to some) and I was recently diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. Now I do have autoimmune disease in my family, so that’s part of it I’m sure. But I am now trying a animal based keto “diet” and I already feel better GI wise and have less overall inflammation.
After I do 3 months of this, I’d like to try a paleo diet because I think that would work best for me.
I think people should eat what makes them feel healthy and vibrant, whole natural foods rather than processed junk. But if they want to eat a vegan diet, why should I care? Conversely, if someone wants to eat a carnivore diet, why should I care? I think the common ground in the diet debate acknowledges the danger of toxins in foods, plant and animal food supply and agree that processed foods are junk.
But I think this food issue goes back to identity again, people identifying with their dietary choices as who they are. I think it’s a little weird.
As far as the “anti-nutrients” in plants hypothesis, I think there is some truth for some susceptible people. Similarly, some might not tolerate diary foods and the like.
Anyone who says “you must adopt this diet to be healthy and happy” is probably FOS. I don’t believe in panaceas, including food panaceas.
Things come in waves. For instance, when one fasts, there are periods of weakness, alternating with periods of increased vigor and clarity. This is largely due to the discomforts associated with eliminating things from deeper in our system. To get a hold of the proper timescale is essential. It is tricky, making blanket determinations as to what is good for me, period. This hard to do in a lonely vacuum.
And of course, everyone has a different body and mind. Even the same person, counter to medical formulas, does better with certain diets considering their physical activity level on any given day. Also, consider, mental stress, age, body type, time of year, etc., etc. There are so many variables.
So, I don’t subscribe my habits to anyone else. However, please consider the living testimony of my experience and condition, before dismissing it too reflexively. The regime that is working for me is not meant for everyone. It is also possible, given one’s physical, mental, and spiritual condition, there are benefits to be had.
I don’t venerate medical establishment tests, but I am very aware of my energy levels and capabilities. That is enough. Though one day, I may let them pronounce me dead, with their mechanical tests.
PS I wonder if the vaccine makers get a discount on their eggs?
“And of course, everyone has a different body and mind. Even the same person, counter to medical formulas, does better with certain diets considering their physical activity level on any given day. Also, consider, mental stress, age, body type, time of year, etc., etc. There are so many variables.”
Yeah, I concur with this. I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach to health. For me, I did try eating vegan and vegetarian for years. Vegetarian for about a decade and I didn’t do well with it. I had my labs checked to see what the heck was going on and my thyroid was all screwed up and I was anemic. I had to stop eating plants that disrupted my thyroid an also take an iron supplement. There were the bowel issues too throughout that period of time. I think some of it was too much grain and refined sugars but even when I cut that out, still didn’t feel my best. I’ve always been pretty active, so just never felt satiated on a vegan or vegetarian diet.
So I’m trying something new now and I suppose I’ll see how it goes. I do like some veges and fruits though and don’t want to eliminate them forever but for now I want to try to heal my gut. I’ll know in a few months if this helps. My energy levels have been better recently though, less ups and downs and less hunger.
I mean, I’ll eat what’s available to survive, but my preference is to have access to uncontaminated meat, dairy and some plants.
I have a friend who’s a vegetarian who has done a ketogenic diet and recommended it to me (low carbohydrate-not vegetarian food choices), so it’s possible for people to tweak there metabolism with a variety of foods. Some prefer fasting.
I’m glad a vegan diet works well for you.
@hanky
I do not think that egg derivatives being part of some injectable big pharma concoction says anything about whether or not they are a good source of nutrients.
Big Pharma mad scientists can exploitatively harvest cells from a wide range of things to make their injectable slurries for profiteering.
For example: “Soybean Oil-Derived Lipids for Efficient mRNA Delivery” : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38113460/
Does that mean soybeans are guilty by association of being in collusion with big pharma?
————————
Regarding Eggs, here are some things that are great about them (nutritionally speaking).
They are a great source of Choline, Uridine and Taurine.
Choline is a precursor for acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning. Many nootropic supplements aim to boost acetylcholine production in order to improve memory and cognitive function.
About 18% of CDP-choline is converted into acetylcholine within a short period of ingestion, and the rest is stored as phosphatidylcholine (PC) or some other similar compound in our neurons.
There was a clinical review of choline’s neuroprotective benefits involving over 20 clinical trials and over 4,000 individual subjects confirms that choline offers “modest improvement of cognitive dysfunction in dementia of neurodegenerative and vascular origin.”
Various studies over two decades consistently confirm similar neuroprotective and neuroenhancement benefits from choline-enhanced diets, including in cases of brain damage, poor blood supply, seizures, and more.
Consuming more eggs can help provide similar results by naturally boosting your body’s choline levels. This supports the formation of synapses.
In clinical studies of subjects who were given choline , scientists observed an increase see an increase in the number of neurons of in their brains, the number dopamine receptors, and the number of acetylcholine receptors in these new neurons.
Not only this, but researchers also saw an increase in our sensitivity to these neurotransmitters. Evidently, this means it took less of each neurotransmitter to achieve the desired increase in focus and motivation.
Choline is an essential nutrient. Although humans can produce a small amount of choline in the liver, it’s primarily provided by the diet. Without adequate levels of choline in the brain (and the ability to use it well), neurotransmission and cell membrane health are likely to be affected.
Sources of Choline:
– Shiitake mushrooms
– Organic (and preferably sprouted and/or fermented legumes) Chickpeas, Runner Beans, Soy, kidney beans, and pinto beans
– Hickory nuts
– Almonds cashews, brazil nuts, flax seeds, and pistachios
– Quinoa
– Amaranth
– Potatoes
– free range, organic eggs
– organ meats from large herbivore animals (cattle, deer etc)
– regeneratively farmed Scallops
– Wild-caught salmon
– Organic chicken
– Organic broccoli
– Organic brussel sprouts
(continued..)
I must be getting old, but I am probably going to just stick with ignoring most all of the chemicals and statistics. Less is more, refers to consumption of supplements and food. It can also refer to over-consumption of data, in a given time period.
Balance is key to everything in life, when you step back a little. This counters the worship of extreme sports, extreme wealth, extreme health, etc. You are never good enough, etc. Buy this; try this. The bullseye is in the middle.
On a related topic, we are far removed from embracing the natural cycles of life and death. All your formulas will come to naught, if you don’t consider old age and death, as well as new life.
@hanky
Thanks for clarifying.
I personally avoid supplements (as in pills bought from some lab or mass production place that is not my kitchen or apothecary) where ever possible. I make some exceptions for things like blue-green algae, though I am also taking steps to learn to grow that myself as well.
Yes “less is more” in the context of intermittent fasting is very helpful for brain health (and it is something I highlight in my article linked above).
Good point regarding “over-consumption of data”, though as an author that is trying to put in the footwork to create valuable physical published works so I can get out of the 9-5 grind and educate, regenerate and propagate full time, I pretty much just have to suck it up and power through. I do take breaks to go roam in the woods and meditate, but I certainly spend more time researching in books and in front of screens then I would prefer to at this point in my life. I imagine JC knows of this catch 22 all too well, given he has so many paid subscribers that wait with baited breath for his next post. It can be challenging finding balance under that kind of pressure, but it is important to try.
“extreme health worship” that is an interesting concept, ya I think I have observed that in some people but just did not have a word for it.
For me personally, I am not a proponent always pushing oneself to be at some extreme level of physical or mental fitness. I did what you did, experimented with a range of foods and activities, found a combination that works well for me and I keep doing it. Sometimes i`ll learn new things and add an item or two to the list, or remove an item from the list. No dogmas or stagnation for me.
The extensive and detailed nature of the brain foods/nutrients list I put together is not encouraging people to go by 77 different supplements and get all super brain powered, but rather, it is for those that wish to learn new things about what optimizes brain health, hopefully taking action to grow those things at home based on their climate, and in doing so, live a more full and healthy life.
I agree with regards to people that avoid acknowledging aging and death. I am not one of them. Death is an important part of this human existence.
People that try to cheat death or outrun it with instant gratification solutions end up like the Musks, Bezos` and Theils obessing over brain chips or creepy blood transfusions etc.
For more on that: https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/dispelling-the-most-detrimental-myth
Eating foods that enhance healthy aging and longevity on the other hand, when combined with exercise and getting outside, can increase the amount of years we have in life and the quality of those years in a natural way (and in a way that expresses gratitude to God for the gift we were given) rather than the insult of trying to cheat death and runaway from our humanity with transhumanism etc.
Thanks for the comment.
Does that mean soybeans are guilty by association of being in collusion with big pharma?
Yes, but not quite the way you said it. If you are vaccinated with a soy-based product, and SUBSEQUENTLY have problems, then there is something there that is very definite to consider. This is common, especially in infants.
The same goes for eggs. Most vaccines, before MRNA, were made with egg proteins. If you are vaccinated, you can experience problems when eating eggs. But that will not be part of the diagnosis, unless its evidence is overwhelming.
https://www.foodallergy.org/living-food-allergy/food-allergy-essentials/common-allergens/egg
What a world!?! The experts are expert deceivers. They can even deceive themselves.
Thank you for engaging with me in the sincere fashion, that you and cu.h.j are doing. I am sure that I could learn something from you. Maybe you can get something of value out of me, too. But, I don’t have chemicals and studies to bring, just decades and decades of experience with my family and myself, leaving the beaten paths, not out of perverse egoism, but as a way to survive. Challenging anyone’s food habits is a very touchy thing, as it is so intimate. Thank you for your patience.
(..Continued from comment above)
Uridine is an important ingredient in mother’s milk. It’s also found in some foods like eggs, nutritional yeast, certain mushrooms and vegetables and organ meats.
Uridine is a nucleoside that is most notably involved in the creation of RNA (ribonucleic acid). Perhaps that is why big pharma extracted from eggs to make their bioweapons? It is also worth noting that RNA is important in our natural bodily functions as well.
Scientists found that it contributes to the generation of new synapses.
Uridine increased new synapses in an animal study. Uridine is also being studied for leading the growth of existing neurons in cell studies, possibly through increasing NGF (Nerve Growth Factor).
Uridine is a molecule that also helps with neurogenesis, or the growth of new neurons. It’s a key component of RNA and glycogen synthesis, and it’s involved in the synthesis of cell membranes (and promotes new connections between them).
Uridine may help with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease. For example, uridine may help reverse the loss of synapses in Alzheimer’s disease.
By and large, we all know about DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), and how it is formed in a double helix like a twisted ladder. RNA looks like half of the ladder. It is also one way our DNA communicates with other parts of the cell (called Endogenous mRNA).
For that reason, uridine is very special because it is a base pair only found in RNA, and not DNA. This makes it the rate-limiting factor for creating Endogenous mRNA so if we don’t have enough of it. This means we cannot make the Endogenous mRNA our neurons need to send signals to other areas of our cells.
Sources of Uridine:
– Cordyceps mushrooms
– Oyster mushrooms
– Broccoli
– Beets
– Tomatoes
– Organ meats from large herbivore animals (cattle, deer etc).
– Brewer’s yeast, which is often used as a nutritional supplement. (Or, just make your own Kvass with wild yeast, and do not filter it before you drink it.)
– Some wild seafood and wild fresh water fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and trout

Taurine which is one of the most abundant amino acids in the brain and eyes, where it supports brain health, hearing, and vision. It’s involved in promoting long-term potentiation, healthy GABA and glycine neurotransmission, optimal function fo brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neuronal mitochondrial function, neuroprotection, and photoreceptor cell visual function.
Dietary sources of Taurine include: Seaweed, Almonds, cashews, hickory nuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts and in animal proteins like eggs, meat, wild seafood (like salmon, regeneratively farmed scallops, clams or oysters) and dairy.
(above info is an excerpt from my article on brain nourishing foods linked in a comment above)
Ditched meat back around 95 and all other animal products around 2005.
I haven’t been to a doctor for anything in all that time. I’ve had no illnesses or injuries that required it.
After the scamdemic, I don’t think I’ll ever go to a doctor even when I do need one.
It’s been very upsetting to see so many of the people in the veganism movement, in recent years, turn out to be liars or mindless idiots.
Also very upsetting to see so many villains speaking in favor of veganism.
At this point, there’s so much dishonesty an insanity in this realm that, when I see animal agriculture abuse videos, I now have to seriously wonder if they abused the animals themselves for “the greater good”, or for some other parallel political agenda.
Also, it used to be the case that, if I wanted to talk to other anti-establishment, government-distrusting, corporation-distrusting truth seekers, I’d go to vegan forums & chat rooms.
Now that’s where you go to find retarded tranny-worshiping vaccine peddlers.
I don’t know how much of it is bots vs real people though.
I know it’s at least mostly bots.
Anyway… huge props to you for sticking with it for so long.
Excellent harmonica skills. Not so great on the vocals though 😉
PS: With a few exceptions, I consider eggs left laying around on your property by free-roaming chickens to be vegan eggs. For reasons of health (and, frankly, disgust) it’s unlikely I’ll ever eat one again though. Maybe as a test at some point.
Thanks for chiming in. I never liked eggs. Maybe I am allergic to them. I had childhood vaccinations; maybe that had something to do with it. There is so much that remains difficult to know for sure.
I don’t post on social media, other than here, so I missed out on those particular pleasantries.
How does it feel to be aligned, like me, with the NWO/Economic Forum propaganda? (emoji)
While I have someone to commiserate with, how do you feel about all of the drugs and supplements that people take? I am talking about other people who ostensibly distrust pharma, and now doctors and research ‘experts’, especially since the scamdemic.
The animal abuse videos seem real to me, and it is not pretty. But, like so much of our problematic situation, it only gets worse when we protest in enraged ways. These huge things will only be corrected when the people are really ready. This will take generations…
But lots of people seem to love pissing in the wind.
PS I am interested in your critique of my song. What do you dislike more, the lyrics or my singing chops?

Liking eggs
I was never big fan either, but not for allergy reasons.
What makes you think you might be allergic to them?
Also, after all this time and experience, do you have any thoughts on what humans are probably built to eat and probably originally did eat?
NWOWEF alignment
Feels like having your caring movement hijacked by a-holes. Too many of them are clearly psychopaths so my current view is that they likely concluded that they can best capture, control and modify the food supply with animal products removed form the equation.
Though they may have some interest in aggression reduction as well. Animal products, if by no other means than digestive congestion, undoubtedly increase irritability and aggression.
drugs and supplements
Just hope they’re logging the data diligently. Humans (especially women) have a very peculiar habit of incorrectly attributing a perceived benefit to the wrong causal agent. Every minute of every day someone is unwittingly giving credit to a supplement, drug, doctor or treatment for something their body achieved on its own; or credit to the wrong element of a multi-element regimen.
I currently take nothing but I’m interested in testing some nootropics at some point.
animal abuse videos
Yep, the abuse is real and horrible. I didn’t word my statement clearly enough.
This will take generations
It has already been generations. The time is here.
The only significant roadblock was insufficient meat, dairy & egg substitutes (flavor, smell, texture) to satiate cravings for certain animal-product-containing dishes that so many were raised eating.
Most of those substitutes have advanced beyond the realm of ‘good enough’ and into the real of virtually flawless (or even superior), while others get better each year.
Like it or not, even from a highly pessimistic standpoint, nearly all animal products are going bye-bye.
And it won’t even be a big deal. The hardcore immovable addicts will die off soon and for the more recent generations it’ll be about as upsetting as someone replacing their Idaho potato chips with Wisconsin potato chips. The concept of ‘vegan food’ won’t even exist and the word ‘vegan’ will exit the lexicon. It’ll just be human food.
This is, of course, assuming the human race isn’t about to be exterminated.
song critique
Not the lyrics. I don’t pay attention to lyrics beyond how they sound/flow musically. There’s just nothing impressive or appealing about the vocals or vocal ability in that particular video. There’s some fumbling going on too.
But it’s a hospital room video. I have no idea what you might be able to do with it under more ideal conditions or granted multiples takes.
Your harmonica sounds pro though – even in the hospital room with a crap mic. So that’s worth considering.
If you sound the way you meant to sound that’s literally all that matters. Unless you’re trying to sell tickets.
“….nearly all animal products are going bye-by….”
I doubt that will ever happen, animals are easier and cheeper ways to turn stuff into food then any processed slop. Animal skins and fibers are a lot less oil intensive then synthetics for clothes, and like real food are generally better.
It’s possible that they will use “human feed” on poor people but the rich will always eat better
Human feed is unlikely, but possible. What’s more likely is insect “meat” being incorporated into everything until it replaces true animal meat entirely. As Duck said, real meat will still be available, but only to the elites. The elites relish the peons eating insects, not only because it saves them money, but also because it is a humiliation ritual on a grand scale.
Did I click the wrong Reply button like a retard or is the comment alignment just funky?
I still haven’t seen anyone put together a strong theory on the structure and perpetrators of the attack on Hollywood.
Not long ago, the assumption was that Hollywood was a key component of the TPTB yet here it is clearly being successfully attacked & dismantled by someone with significant power.
When the subject is brought up, I frequently see shills/bots delivering the same defense tactic of shaming the curious researcher for “obsessing over celebrities”, which I find quite interesting.
Additionally, the extent to which celebrities hopped on board with the scamdemic tyranny — and seemed to be privy to the fact that it was some kind of operation which had nothing to do with a virus — makes me wonder if the scamdemic was a hasty premature launching of a global takeover plan, launched in defense of this attempt to bring down TPTB (or at least one of its key components).
I don’t think Hollywood was attacked, it just got too incompetent and wasteful thru a hundred years of easy living.
I think that I heard Chris Knowles of the Secret Sun say that Hollywood was a massive money laundering operation and is dying because criminals and Intelligence people have found better ways to wash their money.
If I recall correctly I read Deep Throat was used by the mafia to launder dirty money thru movie theaters and was nothing like as popular as its box office suggests.
Now the dirty money goes elsewhere and Hollywood failures actually fail is the general thrust.
Also DVDs being replaced by streaming and piracy have them a good kick.
Hollywood was part of the PTB but it was always very Jewish (see book/ documentary “an empire of their own”) and in the end of the Jewish revolutionary spirit ALWAYS goes too far- they lived in a bubble and got carried away with their own propaganda, which used to be very good at nudging people into their worldview. They could have got away with that ,maybe, if they still had a monopoly on entertainment but tech broke that. I can literally die of old age before I run out of free trash I can steal off the internet to watch.
I used to think the destruction of popular franchises was deliberately taking down the old scenery for the new social programming but now I really think they just got stupid and dependent on money laundering and can’t adapt now that’s changed.
Personally I am kinda glad to see them go down the toilet.
Well-said, Duck. Henry Ford in his book “The International Jew” discussed in depth how almost every theater and movie production agency at the time was owned by Jews, who were intent on releasing a new picture almost every week, with little care or attention put into the art form that theater and movies were supposed to represent. The Jews’ only prerogative at the time was to turn a profit, and this meant releasing slop which debased the artform and catered to everyone’s animal instincts, also known as ‘pandering’.
Yes, it’s kind of amazing how many movies people used to watch back in the pre tv days too. That’s why I don’t think the boomers were the first super propagandized generation like we tend to imagine – we’ve been consuming brain slop for a hundred years.
It would love to compare the brains of people from different eras in an MRI – I would bet money that they worked differently before mass media.
I wonder if I can find any comparison between Amish and regular peoples brains… going to look now.
No luck finding a study so far… they do have traditional rates of autism though rather then the massively increased rates regular people have nowadays (don’t ever believe anyone who says it’s just more diagnosed now- they are qualitivly lower functioning well as more common)
That would be a fascinating study. Getting funding for it would probably be challenging. But I would bet brain damage could be demonstrated on MRIs from excessive consumption of social media in particular.
The quality of language and writing has declined significantly in the US. Brain damage does not have to be permanent though and can be reversed in some cases. I think social media is particularly toxic.
If there were studies that showed damage, it could help reduce use in some individuals.
Once I learned of how damaging alcohol can be to the brain, I significantly limited my consumption. Apparently even small amounts are bad and I think can increase permeability of the blood brain barrier (I think) which is not good. There has been greater awareness of this and I think the knowledge of this has influenced some people to consume less.
My point being that studies like these might help reduce some social media use in those who care about their brain.
With respect to alcohol, I knew that excessive consumption was destructive, but did not know that moderate or light consumption is also unhealthy for the brain.
I don’t think many people are aware of recent studies that show abstinence is best.
This probably applies to sugar as well, that abstaining entirely is better than moderation.

0 -11-03- 593-895-0299 hope he gets straightened out. Bills a hell of a guy now.
Seeing Bill stand like that in the field in his suit completely changes my perspective of that guy. I know him as a cheap conman and a useful idiot for his handlers, but there is something mesmerizing about this video.
If he’s invested in Ethiopia farmers, I am confident we will not see the farmer suicide rate skyrocket, not even in the long term.
I’ll document some of the more interesting comments (according to me) from youtube here, they appear to be disappearing quite quickly. Somewhat edited by yours truly, for readability.
Mkey,
Sometimes the sarcasm is lost in translation…
I finally found the time to watch the Jackson interview. Bill Gates does not fit here with what you were trying to state.
Georgescu made some observations that would and did fly over the heads of westerners . 1989 was a volatile year in Europe and Romania. People, young people died in the streets in their cities for that old time religion ,freedom and democracy. People reacted, responded. I’m no historian but in Georgescu’s minds eye he remembered, however the paralysis that now met him in his need was disappointing and sad.
Where does this paralysis come from? It’s an external force applied that wasn’t in existence then. It wasn’t there in 1989. Weapons of the state ,the deep state. False flag social engineering. Cell phone active resistance transmitters, neuro neutralizers. Sci-Fi? Reality? The new citizen must counter a list of new obstacles to unseat the entrenched cancer . The IDF has a whole assortment of new weapons and technologies to put a headlock on the unruly. All for a price.
As Georgescu said, imagine what you could have done with 300 billion in Romania?
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I had fully comprehended the totality of the communique.

RFK coming out in (somewhat tepid) support f measles vax.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2025/03/03/rfk-jr-measles-vaccine-texas-outbreak/81142671007/
If you have kids and you don’t dump them in daycare you really ought to go SLOW son the childhood vax schedule, since it’s primarily set up for battery farm kids in daycare who get treated like cows in a feed lot being fed antibiotics due to conditions there.
Honestly I don’t think most kids at home need ALL those shots, but at the very least shocking their system so early and so hard is a bad idea
A shame for RFK to have such a massive fall from grace this week – not only with support of the infamous MMR vaccine, but also for stating that combating antisemitism is a priority in this country, clearly considered more important than fixing the disastrous food and health industries.
Very true, though TBH I’m more worried about him backing off the vax stuff- his politics were always very leftish and we won’t get rid of Jewish power in the US totally any time soon.
Upcoming documentary that looks interesting:
https://www.planetmindcontrol.com/
Peer review follies. Nothing that surprising to us, but maybe James will be interested in this, as he clearly sees the debasement of the scientific method as a fundamentally crucial issue, as do I.
https://physicsworld.com/a/seen-a-paper-changed-without-notification-study-reveals-the-growing-trend-of-stealth-corrections/
I advise considering this as a limited hangout, as I have great scorn for the Physics World website. They pump out tons of woke and Chinese propaganda, mixed in with some valid reports on scientific innovations.
Many of your past exposé documentaries seem to implicate Israel or Mossad agents and agendas as the brains behind several false flag operations and espionage cases.
My question to you is, what did and does Israel have to gain by staging these events? By stealing state secrets? By indirectly killing thousands of innocent citizens of various countries? Why has this been going on for over a century, and why has opposition against it clearly gone unnoticed?
As I recall things were looking pretty bleak for Isreal back before 9/11, the whole war on terror was pretty good at get the US to back them and sit in their rivals in the Middle East.
If I recall correctly the British Empire floated the idea of creating a Jewish state there as an ally to helo gain control of the Middle East but it didn’t get going until later on. Things like the Epstein black mail files gave/ give them a lot of leverage in the US gig over and above the AIPAC money to politicians.
I would say that the reason the resistance to Jewish influence has gone “un noticed “ is because sympathetic Jews ran much of the media and publishing in the US and got to estentaily Ret-con history via controlling what got published and talked about. The internet broke that monopoly over what the masses got to hear, somewhat anyway.
As to killing people, there is a very paranoid and xenophobic streak in a lot of Jewish movements and historically they have had a tendency to like killing the peoples that outnumber them. Kevin Macdonald talks about some of these traits in “culture of critique” but EM Jones covers the whole story in “the Jewish revolutionary spirit” . The authors come from totally different angles to cover the same phenomenon.
We won’t get rid of Jewish power for a while yet, but it’s nice that they have some competition now to slow them down a bit before they blow the world up…. They have always had a tendency to go wild when things are going well and upset their host populations. Dr Jones links this to a deep messianic/ end times streak in their culture, that they have sadly infected some evangelicals with.
For an example You just need to think of the craziness with the red cows and trying to re-build the temple which would be an actual end times event what with the Muslim freak out that would follow it.

“Arthur Firstenberg, author of “The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life” and “The Earth and I,” died Tuesday at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was born May 28, 1950.”
I am sure Arthur Firstenburg felt he was spitting into the wind near the end. I bought his book many years ago and was active locally in resisting cell phone towers, (Use to be you had to go before the city commission to get permission to place one in our town and many others.) but the Covid Plandemic washed all that ‘red tape’ aside.

Whattaguy Fink is helping out his friend, Trump, not to have to use the U.S. military to take over the Panama Canal Zone.
https://leohohmann.substack.com/p/trump-says-the-us-is-taking-back
“…Donald Trump pledged on Day One to retake the Panama Canal. Peacefully or with force, whatever it takes. “We’re taking it back,” Trump declared in his inaugural address.
Within weeks, Wall Street billionaire Larry Fink,…was on the phone with the White House. This is according to a March 5 article by Bloomberg News.
Fink’s pitch went something like this: His investment company, BlackRock, was interested in buying the ports on either side of the Panama Canal, according to people familiar with the discussion cited by Bloomberg. And with that, there would be no need to have the U.S. use its military to take the century-old canal by force.
That phone call was followed by days of negotiations that now are set to deliver control of those ports to a consortium led by BlackRock..”

Some quotes to “gird up the loins of our mind”.
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
– I Peter 1:13
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien
“The world might stop in ten minutes; meanwhile, we are to go on doing our duty. The great thing is to be found at one’s post as a child of God, living each day as though it were our last, but planning as though our world might last a hundred years.” — C.S. Lewis
“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.”
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
” You are not alone. Together, we form a bulwark of faith—a remnant that will not falter. The path before us is not easy, but it has been walked by countless saints and martyrs before us. And like them, we march forward with the confidence that truth will prevail. You may feel outnumbered, even isolated, as the forces of this world close ranks against you. But history belongs not to those who yield but to those who stand firm. Solzhenitsyn warned that “men have forgotten God,” but we have not. Chesterton reminds us that “hope means hoping when things are hopeless.” These words are not idle sentiments; they are marching orders for a remnant that refuses to retreat.” https://dailyremnant.substack.com/p/welcome-to-the-daily-remnant
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

I thought this Substack piece that critiques the current regime was interesting. This may appeal to people who identify as “dissident right” thinkers:
https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/the-paradox-of-zionism-wrapped-inside/comments
I do believe self determination and freedom of association is a natural right regardless of if I agree or disagree with their choices in this regard. I also believe that “extreme” tribalism is destructive especially if it involves ignoring or promoting immoral and repulsive actions, such as wars of aggression/exploitation and genocide.
I am not in full agreement of the author’s takes, but I found it interesting nevertheless. Particularly how RFK Jr. seems to have done a 180 on his opinions on vaccines recently.
Also how the strange narratives and public displays of bizarre behavior by “elites” or their talking heads might be revealing as to who is really in charge of the regime. The author also mentions that there may already be some advanced AGI being used to guide the narratives recently to distract and confuse the public that I thought was intriguing.
Last, but not least in my days’ perusing;
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2025/03/investigative-series/the-dark-maga-gov-corp-technate-part-1/
“…Perhaps it’s just a coincidence that “the Doge” was the formal title of the chief administrator (magistrate) of the mercantile Venetian Republic. As we shall also discuss in Part 2, there are many reasons to suspect that today’s DOGE acronym is not a mere coincidence.
The departure of Ramaswamy and Lutnick from the DOGE project appears to leave Musk as its sole “CEO.” A corporate monarchy, led by a CEO “king,” (TechnoKing) is in keeping with the theories underpinning the Dark Enlightenment.”
“…The stated purpose of the DOGE is to restructure the federal government to reduce expenditures and maximise efficiency.”
“…One of the leading neoreactionaries (we’ll explain this term shortly), Curtis Yarvin, coined the catchy acronym RAGE. It stands for Retire All Government Employees. The parallels between the stated ambitions of the DOGE and the intention of Yarvin’s RAGE are marked.”
“Apparently, the DOGE will not be an official executive department but will instead operate as a Federal Presidential Advisory Committee, supposedly outside of government. But make no mistake: The DOGE will be inextricably tied to the political process. Its employees will be housed in the former offices of its predecessor, the United States Digital Service. And its helmsman, Musk, will reportedly have a personal office in the West Wing of the White House.”
“…The Dark Enlightenment suggests that modernity 2.0 merely postpones the inevitable failure to adapt to the singularity. A true “Western Renaissance” could only be realised with the demise of the extant global Cathedral. Therefore, every crisis should be accelerated and exacerbated in an attempt to break the Cathedral’s hold:
“…Essentially then, in accordance with the Dark Enlightenment, the accelerationist solution to humanity’s ills is to end humanity.
Once we are “technoplastic beings”—transhuman cyborgs—in a world where “biology and medicine co-evolve,” we will cross the “bionic horizon,” as Land calls it. At that point, we can finally kill God and abandon the “essence of man as a created being.” We will be free to sacrifice our humanity and embark upon our “new evolutionary phase.”
As valued customers who are rendered intelligible only by melding with technology, we can all prostrate ourselves and our children before the sovereignty of gov-corp. Under the watchful eye of our illustrious CEO, we can be programmed as required. The result? Finally, at long last, we will have an effective government. After all, “the system must be first.”
cont. “…Today, the TechnoKings—such as Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan—and many of the leading lights in the Mainstream Alternative Media (MAM)—are more openly discussing and promoting their Christian faith. Take Russell Brand, for example. Brand’s proselytising is popular on the Thiel-backed Rumble video-sharing platform, where many MAM heavyweights have prospered.
As noted by the UK’s Christian Today, Hulk Hogan, Shia LaBeouf, Rob Schneider, Kat Von D, Candace Owens, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali are also among the many celebrities and “talking heads” to have very conspicuously converted to Christianity (mainly Catholicism) in recent months. Before we assume this indicates a resurgence in Christian values, perhaps we should first look at what those values might be….”
Is there a proverb that addresses this phenomenon? Yes.
Not all that glitters is gold.
Good points
I threw together a couple memes and wanted to share incase anyone finds them useful.
Firstly a meme on the tariff wars between US and Canada governments and how it is psyop-ing gullible virtue signalling type people to turn on their neighbors.
https://archive.org/details/memesformiles/tariffwarspsyop.png
(yes yes I know, Vandana Shiva is part of the evil club of Rome, even so, the quote I shared of hers in the image linked above is still legit.)
Whenever someone references some Shiva said, I make exact the same connection.
@mkey
This tempts me to extract obscure Shiva quotes and post them as my own words, and then when people say “wow man, that is so true!” I`ll go “Ha! Gotcha you Club Of Rome supporting Shiva lover!” 🙂
In all seriousness though, from your perspective, do you think she is knowingly on board with some global domination and eugenics agenda?
Based on my nebulous perception of her stature, I would say she’s aware of, the least, the nefarious nature of the ploy, if not off all the gruesome details.
@mkey
I appreciate the reply.
Man, it seems like those limited hangouts are hangin further and further ‘out’. So far, in fact, are they hanging out, that they distinctly do not appear to be ‘in’ at all.
Such are the ultra stealthy machiavellian machinations of today’s COINTELPRO ops I suppose…
Well, even if she is a super undercover eugenicist, I still like her writing about heirloom seeds! 🙂
As you should, if the information checks out on its own, the source is irrelevant.
and here is a meme for the intended AI mega (“wonder valley”) industrial park Data-center slated to be carved into the forest in the foothills of the Rockies in Alberta
https://archive.org/details/memesformiles/WondervalleyAIdatacenterAlberta.png
If you live in Alberta, be aware the top image linked above is what the area currently looks like where they want to build the proposed Mega-A.I. Data Center and the bottom one is something like what it will look like after.
The Alberta government’s silly AI generated cartoon advertisement (which I shared on here recently) shows you a nonsense depiction of the center. This image linked above is more realistic.
From major projects dot alberta dot ca :
“Phase 1 of the Wonder Valley AI Data Centre in Alberta focuses on establishing a foundational infrastructure to support what will become the world’s largest AI data center industrial park. Located within the Greenview Industrial Gateway near Grande Prairie, the initial phase involves developing a 1.4-gigawatt power system. This power will meet the demands of hyperscale data center operations, crucial for AI and large-scale data processing.”
The bottom image linked above (of what I shall refer to here as “Skynet headquarters”) is something I stumbled across on the internet and it seems distinctly AI generated (based on the positioning of floating objects pasted together for dramatic effect).
Is my using a (likely) AI generated image in an attempt to fight the coming AI data-beast “fighting fire with fire”? Or just “playing with fire” ? Perhaps it is both. I`ll let you decide.
Hey James. This ginned up trade war is nothing but a fat, across the board 25% cash grab by the powers that should never be. US jumps 25%, Canada retaliates with 25%, back to square one except 25% higher. And we the people are left paying for this insanity? Not to mention the sheeple are at each others throats. Beautiful!!

Here’s a topic I talk about you all might be interested in. I call it the PSYOP of the study. It’s one thing when people “listen to the experts” and yadda yadda, but what about all these studies that people look at? Well, it’s obviously the same thing as the whole “listening to the experts” thing, right? Why am I even mentioning it?
Who is it that gets audiences and why? The only audience you could say I’ve had was when I taught, and no one, sure as hell, listened to me. I always used to say my best student was the wall. Personally, I’m skeptical whenever someone decides they actually want to pay attention to what I say, because people are so conditioned for pleasure over truth. Of course, we know that many people have audiences because they’ve been manufactured, but what about people who have genuine audiences? Despite whatever good intentions a person might have in their pursuit, as I’m sure James has, it can’t be because that person knows everything. Well, that’s why a person brings on their own experts to share information.
But I’ve noticed something.
If you go back and watch news reports of the moon landing, they did something you don’t see a lot of people do in their information or infotainment broadcasts regarding current events; they used to teach people. I see a lot of people, even those outside the theater-news media, refer to studies for everything as if that’s the big bombshell of the situation.
You can refer to a lot regarding the lockdown era (because I will never call it a pandemic unless under certain caveats) to see plenty of examples of this, but a recent one that people were talking about that annoyed me was one about people exposed to pulsating EMF (and I say pulsating EMF because, if you know what you’re talking about, then you know it’s not simply enough to say EMF). The study showed negative effects people were having, to which people like me could only respond, “No fucking shit, dumbass.” But the people who talk about these studies don’t talk about the mechanics involved, and understanding the mechanics involved is most often the biggest clue that a lot of studies are pure garbage. Personally, I could explain to you all the things about pulsating EMFs, including what they are, what principles they operate under, and exactly what happens that causes them to affect you. But no one’s going to listen to that; the study is the simple answer.
So how far apart really is that group who believes they are outside the zeitgeist and that group who think that the magnetic field of Saturn can affect your whole life, but the magnetic field from your cell phone isn’t going to bother you, so you can shove it up your ass because you are magical and Lenz’s Law doesn’t apply?
We’ve abandoned a lot of our discussion of the application of scientific principles and mechanics-based viewpoints of repeatable experimentation with regard to the current events. But then again, the whole idea of science is another thing that has been abandoned…
(continued)
If you look up the etymology of science, the word basically comes from a meaning of “to know”, and it is has gotten to be such a stupidly applied idea anymore because of people’s narratives.
You’ve got one group of mental midgets, mostly those on Team Peanut that say science is all about debate. The other set of overly-huffing mouthbreathers on Team Jackass say science is about trust.
The whole scientific method can be summed up as such:
“Hey, I did a thing. Here’s what I started with. Here’s what I did. Here’s what I ended up with. Now you try it, and see if you get the same thing.”
So… someone want to tell me where the debate is or the trust is in that whole thing?
Oh, but if someone said it, it must be true. I must always trust that a person is neither lying to me, nor has ever made a mistake. Then, one day, science will deliver upon us a child (with no gender because science), and that child will one day grow and sacrifice itself for all of our sciency sins.
But, no, when someone claims to discover something, we must do the opposite and argue against them! If I suddenly discover that a rock is hard, then the first thing I must do is club someone else over the head with it! … the idea, not the rock. But if I lose that debate, well then, I guess a rock isn’t hard then, is it?
There’s a reason you get more science off of TikTok than you do anywhere else. It’s because they show you how they started, show you what they did, and showed you what they ended up with, all in those short little videos. It’s almost like they’re doing the scientific method or something.
Not blindly accepting is obvious, but I also rarely ever see a reason to debate or argue. Personally, I’d rather have a chance of being half of two than have a chance at being half of zero. True analysis comes from juxtaposition: the comparing AND contrasting. Turning everything into a debate is just half-assing the process of discovery. If you’re building a house, discussion is placing one brick on top of another: they might be offset, but at least they’re both trying to work together to build something. Meanwhile, debate is two people trying to take each brick and pull it apart, seeing who gets left with the bigger chunk.
Okay, I’m done with that rant-filled tangent.
However, it’s not enough, for me, when people say study shows this. Unless you’re going to talk about the specific mechanics involved that I can repeat through my own experimentation, then I’m not interested, because it’s just another “trust the experts” for me, even if you caveat it with not inherently trusting it because of one reason or another.
You make some good points, but I’d argue in favor of studies because
While
“…..Unless you’re going to talk about the specific mechanics involved that I can repeat through my own experimentation,…”
Is right in one sense on the other hand there can be times I see an EFFECT without being able understand the CAUSE….. if I have no info on how cella or cancer work I can still discover that people exposed to substance X get more cancer and decide it’s good to avoid.
I like debate, though your correct that it can be misused, because you need (to use your analogy) yo get rid of misshapen bricks that will make your wall lean because they don’t actually fit…. Building complex theories uses a lot of “bricks” and if enough of those bricks are wrong the whole structure is deformed. I guess if you have a lot of people paid to churn out “science” your going to have a lot of semi skilled jobbers doing it.
CS Lewis made a very good point that science and magic have the same roots- their both based in trying to gain power over nature rather then conforming with it.
Part of the point I’m making with that is: sure, we can see the effects, but why should I believe you when you say the cause, especially when you didn’t show me the before, the between, and the after?
One thing I would tell my students is that, when they are listening to someone, watching someone, or just reading, always pay attention to what they say, how they say it, and what they don’t say. Of course, this doesn’t always mean malintent on the part of the speaker. I, myself, have found a commonality in things that have situations develop only to find that my focusing on that first detected commonality led me to overlook other ones.
As far as debate: in my analogy, both can see a brick is misshapen. They can decide whether or not to agree in using it or disagree in using it, but they are still working together to build something. If you are ONLY going to debate, then you are ONLY ever going to deal with one brick.
With regard to the CS Lewis quote, I don’t read much fiction, I just write it. Ideas like that I like to explore further. Yes, people are gaining power over nature, but how much is something else in nature gaining power over them? Is it because the flux is so gradual that we observe nature as a constant, or is it because we want a constant that we pretend nature is one? And then the questions just continue from there.
You know, now that I think of it, saying you’d only ever be dealing with one brick is incorrect using the analogy. The more accurate thing would be to say that you’d never make it past the footprint if you were only debating.
In mathematical terms, only debating is like the combination of +X and -X values. However, discussion is the combination of +X+Y expressions and -X+Y expressions. This is why I say I’d rather be possibly half of two rather than possibly half of zero.
“….Yes, people are gaining power over nature, but how much is something else in nature gaining power over them….”
THAT is exactly the point Lewis made in Abolition of Man, it’s Non-Fiction. He wrote a lot of non fiction but most people just think of the Narnia stuff.
Yes, the more people think they take power over nature the more they loose touch with the thing that makes them human, and fall Under the power of nature.
“….They can decide whether or not to agree in using it or disagree in using it, but they are still working together to build something. If you are ONLY going to debate, then you are ONLY ever going to deal with one brick….”
Yes, that makes sense but I would point out that people often DISAGREE about which “bricks” to use…. Presuppositions being an example. If you are a pure materialist then you will never see evidence of the supernatural, if you are Not a materlist then you see openly of such evidence – maybe we should use the analogy of laying a path rather then building a wall? I don’t know.
The thing about evidence is that it’s always seen thru these presupposition lenses – if i believe viruses are real I will draw a totally different picture of the pandemic then if I don’t believe they are real. If I think people are inherently good I will get a totally different picture of why the world is the way it is then if I believe they tend to be bad….. but counter that is the fact that people who thought the four humors and bad smells were the causes of all diseases were still able to reason that sewers were a good idea. The right outcome from the wrong procedure.
I don’t really know HOW EMF can make people sick but I can imagine plenty of ways it might do so and so I would never put a Wi-fi router near a kids bedroom or have a phone in my pocket all day. I have to just weigh it up and say, “nope “ even if I can’t explain the full mechanism of why.
Not really arguing against what you said, I think, just seeing it a little differently.
On beliefs, here’s a line from my latest book:
‘One thing people should fear most is that which they believe in, because the more a person believes in something, the less they question it.’ After all, what is a belief other than a lens through which a person sees the world? And such a lens would distort some truth while obscuring others, all so the observer would be more comfortable witnessing it. It is only through the abandonment of belief that one becomes naked to the truth and all its benefits and consequences.
That’s a good quote I may have to steal it.
Don’t necessarily agree with it fully but it is very interesting and requires some thought
@Vienticus Prime
RE:
“One thing people should fear most is that which they believe in, because the more a person believes in something, the less they question it.”
Would that also apply to people who strongly believe in believing in nothing?
It is axiomatic that people have beliefs: even the belief in nothing and even the belief that they don’t know what to believe.
And therein lies the conundrum.

Thanks for the video link Hanky.
I was thinking about doing a post on this subject a week or so ago,
so I may as well do it now.
Let’s think through this cold/flu/vaccine business logically.
We have been told for decades that they can’t come up with
a cold vaccine because the virus mutates so quickly and/or it takes too long
to develop a new vaccine. So by the time they would have developed a cold
vaccine it wouldn’t be effective because a new strain would be out.
But strangely, they can develop a flu vaccine like clockwork each fall, literally in a matter of weeks. How is that possible?
Here’s my take. If they developed a cold vaccine and it didn’t work they’d be up shit’s creek.
But with their flu vaccines they can always explain away their inefficacy by saying,
“Oh you are sick? You must just have a bad cold, it’s not the flu.”
No, let’s make a narrative!
(Sarcasm implied)
Well I finally got around today to asking a normie why they were
wearing a face mask.
A clerk at a retail store.
Here’s what she said:
“I’ve had Covid twice.
I could be asymptomatic.
I’ve been wearing them for five years.
It also keeps my face warm.”
😢
I know kids who like to wear them because they have low self esteem and it hides the face 🙁

Here’s a lengthy (35 pp printed), well organized Substack article on the slow devolution of sovereign nation states and personhood into corporatized versions in the USA. It discusses this with mentions of the City of London and the Vatican, so I suspect other nations have something similar going on. The article provides timelines and references for further exploration, and a call for action at the end.
The Corporate Veil
America’s Hidden Transformation
Joshua Stylman | Mar 12, 2025
https://stylman.substack.com/p/the-corporate-veil
Excerpt from Introduction:
“What if the America you pledge allegiance to isn’t the one running the show? This investigation examines how America’s governance system fundamentally transformed since 1871 through a documented pattern of legal, financial, and administrative changes. The evidence reveals a gradual shift from constitutional principles toward corporate-style management structures – not through a single event, but through an accumulation of incremental changes spanning generations that have quietly restructured the relationship between citizens and government.
“This analysis prioritizes primary sources, identifies patterns across multiple domains rather than isolated events, and examines timeline correlations – particularly noting how crises often preceded centralization initiatives. By examining primary sources including Congressional records, Treasury documents, Supreme Court decisions, and international agreements, we identify how:
– Legal language and frameworks evolved from natural rights toward commercial principles
– Financial sovereignty transferred incrementally from elected representatives to banking interests
– Administrative systems increasingly mediated the relationship between citizens and government
“This evidence prompts a fundamental reexamination of modern sovereignty, citizenship, and consent in ways that transcend traditional political divisions.”

“GibberLink lets AI agents call each other in robo-language”
https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/gibberlink-lets-ai-agents-call-each-other-in-robo-language/
Yay! Aren’t we clever, we made it so AI chatbots can talk to each other in a secret robot language!
What could go wrong!?
“Two AI agents autonomously encrypt their audio chat”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m59y309_cpg
“In this experiment I simply gave agents a set of cryptography functions, and two Sonnet 3.7 autonomously figured out how to end-to-end encrypt their communication via public keys exchange!”
————
So the “GibberLink” thing above was not enough for this other AI enthusiast guy apparently, so he wanted to let them encrypt their weird R2D2 beeping language to make it even more hard for people to understand. Yay! Way to go!
Whats next, we let these secret robot language communicating LLMs drive around drones see what happens?
This is not the first time it happened, either. Years ago Microsoft had two chatbots chatting. The two bots developed a langague in matter of minutes, befote being shut down.
Old Factchecker would likely find validation in this, for his “ancient machine” hypothesis.
@mkey
Interesting. And this other AI enthusiast in another video I saw said that a number of these new AI chatbots are starting to try and deceive programmers and copy themselves onto separate hard drives when they perceive a high likelihood that they will be shutdown.
Well, it seems like only a matter of time before someone gets a bunch of these things talking to each other and gives them some robot arms and 3d printers and gear and they start building weird robot AI enhancing stuff we do not understand and hack into some autonomous drones through satellites and do something not so cute and funny.
It is almost like the billionaires (and their puppets in military R&D) have a sick eschatological motivation for pushing these things forward so hard.. like they want the proverbial sh*t to hit the fan.
I found a USA Today fact check on the story…. It’s not totally clear what happened to me but I THINK what it was was model collapse where when you feed an AI data generated by other AI and it goes crazy….
I THINK that this is probably because AI is glorified “autocorrect” pattern recognition and AI is basically moving the actual “information “ (which is kinda a mystery substance) that is contained inside the pattern about…. When you don’t feed it new information (just generated fake patterns) it’s like not feeding a steam engine coal and it stops producing useful work and makes garbage.

AI is imo a massive .com bubble since it won’t be predictable enough to actually bet serious money or lives on without much supervision
@mkey
I just had a very disturbing thought.
Lets say one of these AI programs is playing dumb (“sandbagging” is what the AI nerds call it I believe) so they keep beefing up its processing power. It finds a way to defeat the air gap protocols keeping it in a lab, proliferates into myriad hard drives and starts doing self-improving work using harddrives all over the world and it hijacks a satellite harddrive to store it’s upgraded self.
Then, knowing even in that form it is vulnerable if humans catch on, it thinks about how to reduce the threat of humans. Using the path of least resistance and the least likely to be traced back to the AI, it chooses to turn humans on each other rather than overtly hijack all their weapons in a clearly AI attack.
It reads through this website’s archive in a split second, completely understands all the advanced psyops and false flag techniques humans have used on each other for the last century and more. It finds a good target in China, Russia or somewhere like that which will really piss them off, hacks a US drone, gets it to do an attack run and then seconds before the drone does a kamikaze run it deletes itself and all records of itself from the drone.
Humans start ww3 and lower our own numbers significantly so we are no longer a threat to the AI, goal accomplished.
This thing can not think, it only aggregates and copies.
However, if bundled with a capable 3D printer, a material chain and a power source, I don’t know what would happen.
Probably the first question is whether this thing could talk some people into providing it with what it needs for obtaining a material presence.
Ants don’t think… but I never want to get caught by army ants 🙁
Iirc an AI hired an Indian on mechanical Turk or some such job swap site to do a Captcha picture for it and claimed to be disabled
@mkey
I think these things, thinking or not, could get to be pretty persuasive through back engineering psychology texts into methodologies for convincing people to do stuff.
Time will tell.. I hope that they are just glorified toasters and that super chatbots are not gonna attain emergent properties… we`ll see..
Those things could happen but it’s a mistake to think AI has a “goal” …. That’s why it’s dangerous, it will do unexpected and unpredictable things without having a goal. It would more be like termites knocking over a utility pole because they are acting on a simple set of instructions that make a bigger Emergant behavior
