Happy May, everyone!
It’s a busy month here in Japan as I prepare for the REPORTAGE book launch in Osaka on May 10. As you know, Broc West will be flying in from Vietnam for the event and assistant Shaun will be there as well, so if you’re looking for a signed, limited edition hardcover copy of the book, come along and join the festivities!
Of course, that means that there will be no subscriber newsletter next weekend (May 10th/11th). So, if you’re unable to make it to Osaka and you’re looking for another James Corbett fix, don’t worry! There’s plenty of Corbett content for you to explore while we’re having fun at the book launch.
For example, you’ll want to check out this interview of yours truly that was conducted by Prof CJ of The Dangerous History Podcast. It was a great conversation, so if you like that one you’ll want to check out the rest of his podcast archives.
Or there’s my recent appearance with Ryan Cristian on The Last American Vagabond the long con of the US partisan divide, the budding Palantir control grid and how be the technocratic agenda appears to be coming to fruition.
Also, I just recorded an interview on The Free Thought Project Podcast that should be available shortly. (UPDATE: It has now been published.)
And if that still isn’t enough to keep you preoccupied, there is of course the monthly subscriber Open Thread.
As usual, Corbett Report members can sign in and use the comments below as a forum to discuss the latest news, ponder the bigger picture, share solutions and suggestions, recommend reading and viewing, or whatever else they might be interested in.
Not a Corbett Report member yet? Sign up today and join the conversation.
Dear James, I’ve been a grateful de-programmed fan and supporter for 10 years. 10 years ago I began wishing you would write it all down. “Reportage” was well worth the wait. Please James, consider exposing the grave injustices being perpetrated against the political prisoner Dr. Reiner Fuellmich. They came for Reiner…they come for us all.
Ego massage followed promptly by insincere request…fuckin’ amateur hour ‘ey.
SHENANIGANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reiner Fuellmich stole money from the committee and the lawyers he stole from had him imprisoned for embezzlement. End of story.
RiggleBug knows this, there is another agenda at play.
That’s the story. It isn’t true.
It most certainly is the obvious truth. Anyone who has been following this well knows:

LOL “Amateur hour” is your own admission that you are PAID for your toxic tantrums. I am PROUD to be an amateur. https://worldcouncilforhealth.substack.com/p/scandal-in-germany-update-on-the Shoo! Cowardly cammo clad cockroach! Shoo! What ya get fer yer Soul? 25.00 per hour? 28.00?
It seems well known by “facts & trial watchers” the operation against Reiner is 100% deep state, like you! Reiner is the Convid fraud equivalent of Julian Assange. He put together an enormous amount of lawyer documented evidence & testimonies from many of world leading experts which exposes the Convid frauds & crimes. He has been heroic. He stole nothing, he loaned money from Corona Investigative Committee (with approval verified loan documents) (& monies donated to support him/their work), and, which money was to be repaid from the near 1M EU from sale of his house. When his house proceeds came in THEN “Team Big Bro” agents were able to dishonestly seize the funds…..and seems certain”one of them” (Templin?) still has them or has stolen them w deep state assistance. Like Assange they are using “Law-fare” to keep him in prison. YES Corbett BADLY needs to “DO” Fuellmich matter!
Keep CJ Hopkins in mind as well. He’s in a similar situation – just having been sentenced to three years for dissent. Both Reiner and CJ are political prisoners. Regarding CJ Hopkins, he’s requesting that supporters who are intending to buy his new book of essays, Fear and Loathing in the New Normal Reich, please do so as soon as possible. If it achieves a high degree of popularity, the perpetrators of this abortion of justice in Germany will be embarrassed. The extent of political persecution the so-called German “justice” system is getting away with is truly shocking.
“… the perpetrators of this abortion of justice in Germany will be embarrassed.…”
Germany just classified the lefty middle AFD as far right even though they’re a popular political party…. Pretty sure they have No Shame and do not fear embarrassment

My last look’s takeaway too. i’ve no idea what the other Corbetteers are going on about… That is the shame!
Too many wicked governments so little time…
Let us all honor Dr. Reiner Fuellmich on this May the 5th, his birthday. This is his second birthday in a cage. Reiner lost his Mother while caged. His criminal jailers would have allowed him to see her, but Reiner could not subject his dying Mother to the site of him in shackles and chains. Civil criminals are NEVER tortured in this manner. 5,400 Souls honored his last birthday by gathering around the prison. Reiner was removed to isolation the day before his last birthday and not permitted contact with his wife or lawyer, or any evidence of the gathering to celebrate him. 5,400 people came, and that is with so little alt media coverage.
Reiner Fuellmich was our greatest hope for apprehending the scamdemic criminals. Reiner Fuellmich would never do anything to discredit the great works…HIS great works with the I.C.I.C. He sought to protect I.C.I.C. funds from state seizure (this was shortly after the canadian thuggery in power stole the Ottowa truckers funds). The recent sentencing outrage is proof that the criminals in charge intend on not ONLY silencing Reiner Fuellmich…they mean to break him.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY REINER FUELLMICH!
And dear James, You do so much good in this weary world. We are all so grateful for everything you do! Won’t you please consider aiming your spotlight on the plight of Dr. Fuellmich?
p.s. I’m sending you a case of troll spray…your room is infested!
pps Isja, I’m in with C.J. Hopkins Thank you!
Yes CJ Hopkins 100%- Terrible!- Evil!- A SACRIFICIAL LAMB TO FRIGHTEN & SILENCE TRUTH & DISSENT. ….even in writers of prose. “The Great Reset”= Dictatorship…..no question they are rolling it out everywhere in the West.
Fuellmich sounds quite pervy in german
7th grader retorts disqualify comment validity. (Neener! Neener!)
I’ve wondered if the sudden discussion on stratospheric aerosol injection “geoengineering” is a limited hangout.
In the below linked video, Derrick Broze interviews the authors of the book Sound the Alarm, which covers their research into the Lahaina fire.
One of the topics discussed is that stratospheric aerosol injection is part of the process of directed energy weapons, and is evident in the fires based on distinctive cloud formations.
I have long had issues regarding the claim that a plane 40,000 ft in the air observed from the ground is automatically assumed to be doing something without ever inspecting the plane, itself, and these authors are claiming that, indeed, the planes in the sky may be doing something other than weather modification.
https://odysee.com/@theconsciousresistance:7/maui-2023-fires:b
Do you remember Paraquat? Agent Orange? ect…
Are those examples of “stratospheric aerosol injection”? My memory is they are more like crop dusting.
What I am referring to is popular discussion that is intentionally focused on facts which are less significant than facts not discussed. That is what a “limited hangout” is.
I can only verify what I tested, Florida soil and rainwater and Strontium Barium and Aluminum are high, this was 10 years ago. Ive worked in labs all my life so testing is paramount to truth discovery. When it comes to media, they’re all spooks until proven otherwise, James never disappoints, one rare gem in a sea of lies.
Your comment here kind of looks like a reply to my above comment? I am aware of what people are finding in soil, but this is not the same as finding the plane performing the injections and forensically inspecting that plane.
Paul,
I must agree with your intuition on this. The carbon money is involved in this and it is potentially large money for all those involved . The facts are many. The top brass have use of it with their own agenda while managing the agenda for others. Others who set a different agenda and Lord over the science. Just think of it as an NWO apperatice with many parts and many ways to profit from it. John Brennan, CIA Director said it was his favorite. China, Russia and USA all collude on this and there is very little proof of any of its everyday use. It very well is a NWO secret Manhattan Project type…thing? It’s all bad news for freedom loving people.
No evidence can be presented in any court for any purpose. All groups that I’m aware of are operating as a limited hang out for this NWO science cabal. It doesn’t exist .
Paul: from your video:
I was not familiar with radio waves (2.5GHz) was inside the laser.
James, Would really love it if you would cover this…
https://secretprogrambehindcbdc.com/intel-drops-1-10/
This is the banking cartel’s endgame…much worse than just not letting you buy something with CBDCs as you will see in Intel Drops 20 and I think to my recollection 14 and others. Possibly the most censored and classified info on the internet. I am BLOCKED from posting this on X and FB, even Substack only let me get 20 followers!! There is also a text only link if you prefer to read rather than watch. Thank you.
BTW my email from that site was closed down – not by me. [SNIP – No emails in the comments section, please. If people are interested in emailing you they can contact me. -JC]
Following up on what I posted about in last month’s open thread, I made my own fucking video: https://rumble.com/v6sln69-what-i-can-tell-you-about-emf-and-your-body.html
Here’s a friendly tip.
Clean up your act and you could have a hit.
As it now stands your video is simply unwatchable.
How exactly is “having a hit” any concern to me?
Well maybe not a hit, but at least a successful video;
one that is watched and appreciated by many.
I’m assuming you wanted people to watch it, otherwise what was the point of posting the link?
to give people a place to access consolidated information
If people want to learn, they can learn. I ain’t here to be anyone’s friend.
“to give people a place to access consolidated information”
People won’t access your information as is. It’s simply inaccessible.
As I said, tidy up the presentation and then you might have success.
Again I’m just trying to be helpful.
You should try to get James to interview you.You should get James to try to interview you.
That would be a hoot. 🙂
Not to get into your argument but the only real issue with your video was that awful hiss over audio. I think if you used a better mic on your headset it would not be there.
You do what you like and don’t mind me (or anyone else) but it was kinda distracting.
Thank you for sharing, anyway.
20 years ago, back at the college, they were explaining that the only EMF effect on the body that is taken into account by regulation is the amount of resulting extra heat that is dissipated in the tissue due to induced currents. And then they just placed an arbitrary limit to the their imaginary model and, just like that, SAFETY.
The reality of the matter is, even if you put gruesome warning labels on phones (same as on boxes of cigarettes) nothing would change.
“The reality of the matter is, even if you put gruesome warning labels on phones (same as on boxes of cigarettes) nothing would change.”
Yes and the reality is that despite getting cancerous growths on their neck (exactly where they hold their phones) people can’t put two and two together to understand how it happened.
This happened to a tennis partner of mine.
FT
“…. Yes and the reality is that despite getting cancerous growths on their neck (exactly where they hold their phones) people can’t put two and two together to understand how it happened….”
Last time I went to the dentist the retard operating the X rays was putting her fingers on the unit in my mouth and shooting it with the x ray gun…how many times a day does she irradiate her fingers????
. And don’t get me started on them standing next to the 3d machine while they zap my head.
Even if the little hand held is super low power and the three d scanner is really as safe as they think (I doubt it) zapping yourself fifty times a day for a year is something you couldn’t pay me enough to make me do. Even getting one of those things done once a year would be insane to my mind but millions do.
👍
I told anyone who wanted to listen to keep the slab device at a distance from their body.
I visited Germany a few years back, and saw the cigarette packages with full color extremely gruesome photos of cancer. Over the top. It didn’t have an effect. Lots of smokers…
I found the recent Weinstein podcast on the core matter of informed consent quite informative

Bret AND his brother can go fuck themselves with whatever cold, hard object they deem appropriate 😂😂😂
You clearly missed the memo on those two.
Why be rude and crude in the space that James provides for proposing solutions and meaningful discussion? Why not contribute to the conversation by providing evidence that the brothers may be useful tools or worse?
Do not feed the troll.
He is a real pro…
I love Mr. Catalyst’s post at the top of this thread.
He meanly dissed the first commenter as an amateur.
Very professional, indeed.
I don’t know what change he thinks that he is a catalyst for. I know that his remarks are good at creating aggravation and stomach acid.
He is catalysing conversion of reasonably sensible discussions into the run of the mill www slop.
I don’t mind it much, really. I guess the freedom to express on this sliver of the internet does not mean much if there is nobody who is willing to challenge it.
Well he is good at that. I’d say professional level…
The evidence that lands a shit directly in the lap of the Weinstein’s has been adequately handled by Webb. If you are not aware of this you are not a genuine part of this community.
The alternative reality is that you are purely intellectually challenged (either way you tick this box).
It is indeed YOUR intent to add confusation to the narrative to ensure very few actual people post in this section so that there is more chaff than wheat.
It makes it decsively easier for us to determine who you when you pack attack like this, thank you.
What if the real goal of Green Energy was to Crash the Electric Grid to Create a ”Mass Extinction Event (MEV)?” With recent massive blackouts in Texas and Spain, both heavily dependent on Green solar and wind energy, the aforementioned is a reasonable question to ask. While both sources are highly unreliable during normal operations, what happens when a system highly dependent upon them loses all power? How do you restart the system?
Normally when one area has a blackout, it draws electrons from an adjourning area that still has supply to incrementally bring demand back online. Once it has created demand, it can then bring on an offline power plant.
If everything goes down and there are no electrons to borrow from an area still operating, you have an incredible problem. This is generally called a Black Start and no one knows how to restore the grid from a Black Start. Texas was so close to grid failure, if the huge South Texas Nuclear plant had gone offline during the ice storm a few years ago, which came within minutes of happening, it would have taken three months at least to restore the grid. And that’s with having electrons to borrow from out of state. Europe was within seconds of going down. Without that, who knows how long.
Once everything is shut down, Blacked out, how do you bring on power plants without demand and how do you create demand without supply, since the always must be exactly equal? This is the classic “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” On steroids, because there are a huge number of egg sizes (from you light bulb to a blast furnace) and many multi-ton chickens of different sizes (power plants generators) that all have to be perfectly matched all the time. How do you do it? With great difficulty. But at least you have control of fossil/nuke power sources.
What happens when you don’t have control of your powers sources? With solar and wind power, which are dependent upon variable sun and wind conditions, you have very limited dispatchable control. How do you match reasonably defined incremental load additions with highly undefined Green Energy supplies? Good question.
Solar production ranges anywhere from full power during the day to zero output at night. Wind can do the same but it doesn’t even have the certainty of solar. At least we know when the sun comes up and goes down, although we don’t know when it will be cloudy or raining or snowing. We also don’t know when the wind is going to blow. Unless you can control the sun or the wind, particularly if they’re a very large part of your generating capacity, like Spain and Texas, you have greatly increased the difficulty of bringing your system back online.
Can you even bring the system back online without other power sources? We don’t know.
We do know there would be mass death and societal collapse. Estimates of an EMP weapon taking out the Eastern US power grid typically run 100 million people in six months. Is that possibly the real goal of Net Zero? Zero survivors?
Vwh
Probably it’s more about control…they could cut it all off NOW if they wanted to.
The net zero stuff looks more like it’s a mass of people scamming the system to get free subsidy money (fed back to political types via campaign donations) who have not the foresight to care about the stability of the system that makes them rich…… no doubt a lot of it is about control via carbon credits and smart grid, but even that is not looking stable.
Sometimes you get a system of incentives that lead people with their own goals to saw off the branch their sitting on

Jimmy Boy & Corbeteers. I’m starting a petition for James to guest on William Ramsey Investigates (hey, doesn’t James have a book to shill, anyways?). He recently guested on Hrvoje Moric’s Geopolitics & Empire – a friend of the Corbett Report, to discuss his subject matter expertise in 20th C occultist Aleister Crowley.
DM him on X or reach out to him, Jim. Jimberino. Jimmy-jimmy Shakah-khan.

Peddling for the sons and daughters of Abraham, Issac and Jacob ey?
It’s the oldest psyop in the land.
Humanity will need to leave this behind if it wants “freedom”.
No surprises that it is a lawyer peddling it. Nice little clique that band of merry (mainly) men.
Thanks. Will check out same. Have enjoyed Mr. Hrvoje M.’s political analysis before.
Hadn’t seen anything on the Smiley Face Killer in a while. …can’t recall when it was. There is a book somewhere… Must be supper time!
Hrvoje’s all right. He’s in the James Corbett, Patrick Wood, Technocracy vein of alarm, which is fine. I tire of the ‘Hitler was an evil occultist’ and the ‘muh Nazis were the bad guyz’ narrative myself, which you’ll get in that conversation between Hvorje and William.
William Ramsey is one of the top notables for Smiley Face Killers content, and has a book on the subject. I don’t think he’s narrowed down a culprits thesis, though. Maybe he thinks its (far-right occultists like O9A), but some of the pepetrators of this type of crime M.O. (trans ‘cat killer’ ‘Scarlet Blake’ [good luck finding his male name-of-origin]) fit a Leftist political profile, I would think.
https://x.com/WilliamRamseyIn/status/1884097540578238513
i have seen Hrvoje a few times on Monica Perez’s show. He seemed okay once i got used to his accent or he got a different mic. The last show he told us what was going on in his part of Mexico. That was pretty good.
Thanks for the warning. Still have not listened. Garden improvements are taking a lot of time this year.
i also tire of Mr. H. & muh-Russian/nazzy stuff. Often throw out a, Mr. Stalin before folks can spew a Mr. H…
Many thanks for the link and all! Had no idea what was “O9A.” Never heard of them before. Also the vocab of “acceleration.” i had been wondering for a couple of months.
i learned a good many things behind your post. Came across this article of weird cat killer case. The author picked a name from among many. The JKRowling tweet i ignored back whenever is explained.
https://www.mercatornet.com/how_the_british_media_attempted_to_cover_up
Yes. i agree these freaks of nature are a product of the lefty fascist. Can’t help but get the distinct impression any right leaning fascist type will be focused upon & used to cloak Tavistock, academia, and other gov sponsored malice. Cost of going full circle in the fascist world.
i like those boys on the right, but i hate fascism. Still wondering, Where do i fit in politically?
I think this is the book you want

Yes, If I got the title right the book linked is the one those two detectives wrote when they discovered the phenomenon.
Yeah, it looked familiar or relevant after a read of the synopsis. I think Ramsey has referenced them or maybe even spoke with one of them. I think it was the ‘proto-SFK’ theory text. Thanks. I referred that text to Ramsey, but he may already be familiar.

James, you always do a stellar job when it comes to peeling back the layers of facts behind significant historical events and people. But here’s one topic that might be a tough nut to crack.
“What the hell is Israel”
We hear the narratives. “Israel is a biblical promise fulfilled.” “Israel and the US have a special partnership, like an aircraft carrier in the middle east”.
Even if those ideologies were true to some people, it doesn’t explain why a secular Jew, Theodor Herzl, would advance Zionism or a banking family, the Rothschilds, would help fund it’s creation. It doesn’t justify the Zionists’ collaboration with the Nazis. It doesn’t explain the immense loss to the US, both in dollars, security, and morality to the point of self destruction. (Note, the USS Liberty attack, Israeli involvement in 9-11, wars with Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, and maybe Iran) The known influence and direct infiltration into the US government is alarming, yet apparently widely accepted. Trump even stated one of his goals was to increase control of Israel on Congress.
Yet, Israel could not exist if it wasn’t for US funds and military support. As Matt Walsh, a conservative commentator quipped “Since Israel relies on US taxpayers to exist, maybe it doesn’t really exist as a country”.
So what is Israel really” Is it some manifestation of a “Global Nationalism”, a perpetual project to channel and consolidate global banking, trade, surveillance, and control?
Your thoughts James?
Jeb
Not Mr Corbett but here is my two cents
From what I have read the British Empire liked the idea initially because it would break up the Ottoman Empire and give them a “colonial” outpost with friendly Jews in the Middle East….. they turned against the idea which is why Jewish terrorists murdered British soldiers (and bombed the family of an officer returned to the UK) during the post war period. I doubt you can find it but the “Empire Warriors “ doc series had one on Palestine.
Personally I’d say Isreal is the living embodiment of Jewish power in the western power establishment of the period it formed. I would say that like most big projects it had many players making it happen for their own (sometimes competing) meanings.
“….We hear the narratives. “Israel is a biblical promise fulfilled.….”
That particular lie is a very well crafted psychological op performed mainly on Americans via “The Schofield Bible” which basically turned in its head two thousand years of Christians knowing that Jews are their enemies.
Religious Jews pray daily for the death and destruction of Christians (not even kidding or exaggerating)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkat_haMinim
Pete Quinioes (freeman beyond the wall / Pete quinones show) read aloud Isreal Shahaks book “Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years (1994)” on his podcast…. It’s up in parts and also complete in one file. It’s on Anna’s archive too if you like to read, Israel has some VERY VERY weird laws and quirks.
It’s also a pretty good place for Jewish folks who commit crimes to go to to avoid prosecution.
Mr Quinoes also did a thing on ten Schofield Bible and how it came to be a thing, but many folks have done work on that.
To understand why something is created look at what it has led to. Any investigation requires much conjecture.
Israel is ultimately about division and to that end, future unity.
If you want to understand who is responsible, write yourself a list of industrialist bankers on all sides of the narrative.
Yup! You’ve said it like it is, and add their willing, often unthinking minions, who also help things along.
Duck said: “…which basically turned in its head two thousand years of Christians knowing that Jews are their enemies.”
The first Christian zionists were called “Puritans.” They fled England and landed in Massachusetts in the 17th century. So it was Christians before Jews like “Herzl” who were the first zios.
Do you actually know any Christians who know Jews are their enemy?
bleak
“…Do you actually know any Christians who know Jews are their enemy?…”
Historically YES, the vast majority.
In the present day….Yes, but Not Many.
In the present day the Vast majority of American Christians have had their thinking warped by the (jewish funded ) Schofeild Bible commentary and the vast majority of people live under the influence of the Post War narrative created by the holocaust. Its been said that most people worship the religion of (classical) Liberalism, even if they go to Church, and its not exactly wrong to say that.
in the past
The Bible itself quite clearly uses ‘jews’ as a pejorative, the most ardent persecution of the early Church was done by jews – the early Christians were almost all Former jews.
Julian the apostate cooperated closely with Jews because he disliked Christians for his own reasons, (the story of the attempt to rebuild the Temple is kinda wild….the jews wanted it rebuilt to disprove Christianity since the destruction of the Temple and the tearing of the veil was a sign of the end of their covenant that they were not fond of.
The Catholic Church when it grew into a somewhat temporal power passed rules restricting the activities jews could do, at first mainly TBH, in Spain where there were a large number of jews in the lands reconqured from Muslims.
The Church of those times really only was alerted to what jews did when a Convert to christianity told them what was written in the talmud (such as the daily prayers for the death of Christians (Still practiced TO DAY), blasphemies against Mary and the story of Jesus boiling in shit in hell)…. This led to the famous “Trial of the Talmud”
You are correct, the Puritans were the ones who wished to allow Jews to reneter England, though there APPEARS to have been a judalizing movement active in early Protestantism. There is also a big jewish presence in
Communism (Neo-Cons are Trotskites who flipped)
MK ULTRA dr’s (and psychology in general)
New Age movements (which are now very mainstream )
Kabbalism and magic (today and probably in the magical revival of the renaissance)
to name but a few
If you want a full breakdown see Dr EM Jones “Jewish revolutionary Spirit” – he is Uber Catholic and kinda disses all protestants but his history is very good and fully sourced so you can check what he says.
“Historically YES, the vast majority.”
You mean the “Judeo-Christian” religion? That one? Yes, there were periods when Christians rejected Jews but not the majority then or now. Christians were and are hoping that Jews will convert which is crazy.
I don’t disagree with you overall though. The “talmud” trial is interesting.
bleak
There is no such thing as ‘judeo’ Christian – the modern jewish religion is a mishmash constructed by babylonian Rabbi’s AFTER the destruction of the temple by the romans.
“….Yes, there were periods when Christians rejected Jews but not the majority then or now. …”
I disagree on this, in the PAST Christians REALLY did not like jews- who only existed in very small pockets and only on the sufferance of the King or Prince who had a use for them.
Until Napoleon made jews regular citizens the ONLY country that allowed then normal legal staus was Englans – thanks indeed to the Puritans, who found they actually did not like jews as much when they actually met them in real life. (See Jewish revolutionary Spirit by Dr EM Jones)
The reasons for this dislike varied, from underhanded practices, or jews tending to do things harmful to christian (such as collaborating with muslims in spain) or their habit to spreading heresies and blaspheming…. this last tendency BTW outlasted the middle ages and was why they got pogromed so much in Russia by regular folks.
There were hardly any jews around for christians to actually meet thru very long periods, but most christians did not like them very much (and would periodically attack them for their criminal, antisocial or religiously blasphemous behaviors) and the
very large number of times
jews have been accused of murdering kids for their blood (in many different places and times) is explored in the scholarly book by ARIEL TOAFF in’Blood Passover’ ,or the wider ranging “Blood ritual by Philip de Vier.
The sheer range of the same accusations, crossing culture, history and politics makes me think Toaff is right about there being a small cult inside judaism that does such things.
But anyway, like I said, until the last 200 odd years jews were legally separated from Christians in MOST places, and while they did indeed flourish in the early US they were by no means popular with people until the Schoeflid Bible and the Holocaust propaganda reshaped peoples perceptions….sadly they pretty much always do the same things when allowed to.
Duck said: “I disagree on this, in the PAST Christians REALLY did not like jews…”
That’s fine. I’m wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
“(See Jewish revolutionary Spirit by Dr EM Jones)”
Looks interesting. And massive. I’ll probably never read it. Not probably.
“jews have been accused of murdering kids for their blood (in many different places and times) is explored in the scholarly book by ARIEL TOAFF in’Blood Passover’ ,or the wider ranging “Blood ritual by Philip de Vier.”
Looks interesting. Less massive. More affordable.
AI denies it all. Blood libel, the fate of Jesus (PBUH). AI says it’s only some rabbi’s having a bit of solipsistic wordplay at the expense of everyone and no one understands us.
I know AI is lying.
I’m so tired of even thinking about them (the deathly things) not to mention seeing them butcher the Palestinians while the world (like the Arab nations) watches and plays games.

(lulu dot com). Get it while you can.
bleak
“….“(See Jewish revolutionary Spirit by Dr EM Jones)”
Looks interesting. And massive. I’ll probably never read it. Not probably. ….”
Its broken down into sections by time period….you can take it a bit at a time pretty easily.
“….ARIEL TOAFF in’Blood Passover’ ,or the wider ranging “Blood ritual by Philip de Vier.”….”
As to a sect of jews murdering children, I really DO think there must be a kernel of truth in it – certainly such things have happened across time, even in the modern world there are murder cults, and jews from the middle ages to the modern world are in a uniquely suitable culture for such a sect to survive for centuries, since they had such an insular life for so long.
The Dude who wrote “Blood Passover” was an actual academic, and if i recall correctly a jewish guy who would have had no reason to slander his own people were he not reporting facts. Cetainly the Talmud is full of blood curdling hatred of non jews, so i can imagine that some people took it literally at times
“So what is Israel really? Is it some manifestation of a “Global Nationalism”, a perpetual project to channel and consolidate global banking, trade, surveillance, and control?”
This hits pretty close to the mark Jeb, yes.
There’s also the Noahide Laws which were enacted in the US in 1991 but other than an annual ‘education day’ there hasn’t been any enforcement. Even stranger, Canada also had Noahide Laws enacted in 2008 I believe. There is some who believe when they are enforced Christians will be killed for believing in the Messiah.
I am not James, but I always thought I had a reasonable answer to your question. Feel free to ignore my idea, as I do not have as many stripes on my shoulder (though a mite older).
Israel’s primary purpose seems to be an outpost for American and European powers in that oil-rich region that also has the Suez Canal. But it is obviously also important for the ‘Powers That Be’ to keep conflict, war, hatred, polarization, etc., on a constant boil. The Israeli people and their neighbors are pawns in this game. This is very dark, but we here know that is well within the playbook of warmongers and Empire fans. (I remember listening to a PBS show, decades ago, describing how they were discussing giving the Jews a homeland in Alaska in the late 40’s, which sounded much more like a win-win if you weren’t a warmonger). But on the bright side, blowing things and people up, and building more bombs is good for the economy.
Hankey
There is a novel based in the fictional Alaskan Jewish area
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yiddish_Policemen%27s_Union
It was kinda not that good a book tbh so I stopped reading it before the end….lookingbat the blurb I should try again
The PBS radio show I heard was reviewing that book, and referred to the actual events.
Humanity is waking up, but not necessarily faster than the rollout of endless false flags and crises. The time when reality lines up well with the rosy pictures of society and government, that we are fed in our youth, seems quite a way off. Cumulative progress is slower than we would like. Every step we take forward, towards Truth and harmony, is offset by large steps by liars and manipulators. They really have the advantage when it comes to emotional motivation of the masses. Panic and hate and war are tools in their arsenal that are quite formidable psychological levers.
Hankey
“….Every step we take forward, towards Truth and harmony, is offset by large steps by liars and manipulator….”
That’s true – but it’s also that human nature has certain characteristics that lead us to repeat the cycle. “Progress “ is never permanent in human efforts.
Large numbers of people don’t give a fig about truth and only want Harmony for the personal benefits they get from it…. When harmony does not serve them it will always get jettisoned…. I think it was Catherine Austin Fitts who said that if they took all the crime out of the economy normal people would be pensionless and broke
There will always be war because some resource people want will be limited….. and Wants increase as fast or faster then Goods can.
Even people as wealthy as they are today (do we really have “poor” people when no one starves in the west) will often get their knickers in a twist when someone else has more then them…. The elites are a symptom not the total cause of this evil
Yes. That is why I say, this can’t change dramatically overnight, or even in our lifetime. But there is really no proof that an improvement in this direction can never happen. We are evolving, and I say that we are in a dark period, as I define it. This is where lies and coercion hold sway. Yes, our history books indicate that this is quite standard, but some things are different now. Lots of it seems even more ominous, but there is a balance of sorts in the fact that we can communicate more easily and more people than ever know that we are all in one basket, so to speak.
I know that I don’t know. So, in this case, if only for sanity’s sake, I see a possibility of healing, even at a societal level, even if I cannot delineate details of a mechanism for that. My analogy is my own human body, which does heal, but I, nor the medical researchers, really know why or how at the deepest level.
I agreed with your first point, and I tend to also agree with your final remark, “The elites are a symptom not the total cause of this evil”. The real enduring improvement must come from the grassroots, up. There will always be a misguided criminal element, who will gravitate towards levers of power. Our best hope lies in everyone understanding the nature of truth as well as understanding the functions of ego. But tackling that paradigm is even more daunting than bringing down powerful, often hidden, elites. Definitely seems like a long term project. God help us! It is ironic that my personal philosophical musings look at the long term, even beyond my lifetime. I was always a sprinter, not a marathoner. But learning new tricks is the essence of human life.
Hankey
When you say “healing” what do you mean?
“Healing” would assume that the state your desiring is the NATURAL state of man….and that something happened to break that state.
That is a supernatural outlook because it’s not a Historical one- in human history humans have always acted rather like they do now…… now I personally believe in the Fall of man, in the Garden, and that human nature was changed by it. That explanation would leave zero ways for humans to heal their nature without divine intervention.
“….Our best hope lies in everyone understanding the nature of truth as well as understanding the functions of ego….”
In the physical world we live in that simply can Not happen…. If the average IQ is 100 you must recon that many many people are below that (and IQ is no promise of loving Truth either) but how would you get stupid people to value Truth over Bread?
What you are saying is that human NATURE will change at some point- there is no path in nature for that to happen. There will always be bad people because badness PAYS OFF a lot of the time.
You can not construct a system in the physical world where that’s not true- certainly you can not make such a system and have people possess free will and act of their own choice.
I accept that it is difficult for people to change. The alternative often touted, Government deciding everything for us, is not the answer. There are alternative forms of government – for example Jamahiriya.
What it takes in a democracy is for the “good” people to consistently hold the “bad” people to account….i.e democracy is not a free ride.
I don’t think a higher IQ is required to be “good” or moral, in fact the opposite may be true as the wealthier and more invested in the system have the most to lose and the intelligence and money to outsmart systems.
While the rest do tend to look to guarantees of financial/other forms of safety (even over individual freedoms, as we have recently seen).
Not that I am necessarily advocating representative democratic government is the best way. It requires our participation, but this is indirect participation and can easily be thwarted under the pretence of taking our views into account (e.g. 1. making submissions to a senate committee regarding a proposed law, which committee itself is chosen by and as a representative of the larger parliamentary body, further weakening representation of the people; e.g. 2. limiting terms of reference for parliamentary inquiries…….etc..).
Individual freedom (which goes hand in hand with individual responsibility), consequently, becomes paramount.
The less government/authoritative powers, the less corruption can take hold. As consistently demonstrated (gov) regulatory bodies become corrupted, for example, with revolving doors between the authority and the industry they are supposed to regulate.
The average person does not necessarily have to miss out in a freer society as, for instance, it has been asserted that when institutions were not permitted to make money (interest) out of lending money (usury) – thereby, amongst other things, enabling the financing of wars – and which usury is said to have been historically struggled against (including possibly by Napoleon) in ages where it seems people could see the bigger picture – without usury (and need of tax) the people were said to be wealthier and spent less time working. This assertion would need further investigation as I have only recently come across/been reminded of this specific information.
Zoecr
I can’t reply to your post so putting this here
“… The alternative often touted, Government deciding everything for us, is not the answer…”
True… that is a False Dichotomy based on two errors
A) the idea that government is DIFFERENT from the people (most of the time it’s a reflection OF a the people who get exactly as much tyranny as they will put up with)
And
B) That people can ever exist totally free of coercive rule (they can not because such a condition invites some group to impose itself on the people)
In fact I blame a lot of this issue on the fact that from the Boomers onwards people have lost the historically normal idea that Government was a necessary evil… instead people have turned into idealists who think Gov is their buddy OR who think it’s ONLY a bunch of thugs who grabbed power.
All governments require legitimacy which they previously had to earn by providing service (normally law and defense) in return for their big slice of the pie….absolute kings absolutely lost their crowns for failing in either of these two tasks.
So Yes, you’re right that it’s the people’s job to hold them to account but people have degenerated. They have lost the civic virtue needed to hold their leaders to account and thus get leaders even more debased and disgusting then themselves.
That’s why we will never see a return to the constitution- the people who made and lived under it are gone.
As to IQ True, it’s no marker of virtue but it IS needed to understand and make good choices. Stupid people and people who don’t have the right character are totally unsuited to rule themselves and will end up getting ruled.
That is why democracy always leads to tyranny, only a tiny number of people are actually capable of making decisions based off more then “that looks good FOR ME and f the rest”
Your definition of healing is pretty hopeless. As far as an individual body, I can see it as a state where things function smoothly, without telling us something is off. From very painful to just naggingly worrisome. The same can be said of a healed society. A HEALED SOCIETY IS MORE IN LINE WITH TRUTH AND REALITY. These things nourish a society; lies poison it. This is my twist, but most of us here would agree. In fact, most everyone, everywhere, would at least give lip service to this statement.
Of course, the histories that we are given, and the characteristics of ‘human nature’ that we derive from that, warrant pessimism. But, I still know that I don’t know.
What do you, personally, do with this certainty that we are doomed to repeat foolish patterns?
Hankey
“….The same can be said of a healed society. A HEALED SOCIETY IS MORE IN LINE WITH TRUTH AND REALITY.…..”
Again to call the state you desire (where all society is focused on things like truth) “Healing” would need that condition to be the NATURAL state…..
But you yourself agree it’s NOT the natural state, but one you AIM AT.
Using the word healing misleads because the conditions you desire are NOT the natural state of human society.
“…..These things nourish a society; lies poison it. …”
This is clearly NOT a the case.
If truth made a society stronger (by nourishment) then the strongest society would be the MOST TRUTHFUL….. the strongest society would dominate and replace the others. People would flock to it.
Why then do we have so many other kinds of society????
While there is a germ of truth in what you say here it’s not near as simple as you say and IMO you have a wrong understanding of what Truth is.
“….This is my twist, but most of us here would agree. …”
Most people are wrong about most things most of the time.
“….In fact, most everyone, everywhere, would at least give lip service to this statement….”
No.
That is untrue…. Most of history is full if societies where people believed “truth” was what the powerful wanted it to be.
We have had a small interlude where Christian ideas thinly veneered regular human ideas (such as you would see in Ancient Rome or Greece where being Right was derived from one’s Might.
“….What do you, personally, do with this certainty that we are doomed to repeat foolish patterns…..”
Actually I am just writing up an answer to G’s essay and will likely link to CS Lewis short essay “importance of chivalry” which gives a pretty good overview of what CAN be done…. But even this is (like all human endeavors) a cycle that goes around.
We’re all Ozymandus at the end of the day…. Only God builds something eternal.

It seems that I am the naive Pollyanna in this discussion. This is quite ironic, as I am widely considered the horrible cynic. First it was for questioning 9/11, etc. Now it is for questioning Trump and the Trump shot.
We agree on a lot. I am just not as sure as you are that the ‘natural’ state of man involves an immutable and eternally intransigent dishonesty.
Hanky,
Somewhere north of here a percolating thought developed. And an old conversation I recalled about a man.
It was part Veindictis Prime’s video he made on EMF. He began by explaining language. Context,syntax, ect.ect.
I see how it could be crucial to communicating science and understanding the truth. Material things .
And along the way someone asked “what is Israel” Well, like bad science it’s based on a lie, but in history, not science , historical truths are codified by metaphors, fables, parables, allegories and fairytales, axioms develope.
The two thoughts of science and history come together in the Torah and KJV leaving Metaphysical ideas behind., set aside with the history lesson shouldn’t be ignored. Making science the grifter. Yet it is used and by the Zionist who have co-opted the Israelites. Nutandyahoo refuses to look at all of history. Pride will lower ones monstrous and mountainous ego by entropy as well as karma. The story of King Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel is lost on Ol’ NuttyYahoo . This I say from experience and history but what do I know? I wouldn’t know how pride could poison a man like NuttyYahoo without knowing the man and I have known him since 1992. My Philly Jew friends didn’t trust him. Pride , the sin of pride best describes Israel and NuttyYahoo wants someone to worship him as God. And even if it is Metaphysical my Philly Jew friends all hoped Nutty would get his comeuppance someday.
Nutty Yahoo. That is catchy!
I am pretty certain that I agree with James, that the public political figures, even this one, are secondary, at best. I is quite obvious that they are implementing the “Greater Israel” land grab project, despite all the smoke and mirrors from the press.
Progress towards sanity may not be permanent. But it would be nice to see, even if it is doomed to inevitably evaporate. All things must pass. I will be gone from this stage(of Life) one day. You too.
The technocrats may harbor dreams of immortal utopias that sound like hell to us. They see their desired state of society as something permanent. I don’t.
I appreciate your earnest replies. At least someone reads my ramblings. We happen to agree on a lot, but that is not the central point of my appreciation. If you agreed with everything I write, that would be useless and boring, as well as non-educational.
Hanky,
You have become a fine writer in the evolution of becoming a philosopher . You have arrived.
Free will is mentioned and used above notoriously as an excuse to do. Men do evil things. It’s a choice. Free willers today rarely know they can not do also. To go against the animal magnetism of fear and loathing of life, to go against the heard mentality ; for example, To not kill is just one thing that a person can choose not to do. G. Edward Griffin explained the importance of the individual in an interview the other day. Wish I could leave it here but alas…it’s gone. He spoke as clearly as you did above . How our forefathers knew what not to do , first was Government should not tell men what to do knowing freewillers with any power will become corrupt so they made sure to tell men in power what they could not do. They are dead and gone now, but their example is still living .
You may not know all but you know more than most Hanky don’t sell yourself short . You are not all hat.
I think this was the interview of G.Edward Griffin. I hope.
https://www.youtube.com/live/BJhTA4kvwGA?si=jmcWpqyUgH3FzCg1
I am pleased to hear that my writing has resonated with someone. Most of my writing is in this comments section. I just started doing it a lot a few moths ago. I watched the interview with G. Edgar Griffin. I always learn something from him. To be compared to him is quite wild. I am not nearly as deep as him on the political subjects. I agree with him about the ‘healthscare’ industry. I have been very staunch on that front for half of a century now. When I say, “I know that I don’t know,” I am giving myself a compliment not denigrating myself. If you are sure about things that are, in reality beyond your ken, then you are playing the fool. Something to do with the Dunning Kruger effect. Was it Mark Twain who said, ” Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”?
Hey everyone! JEP and JC inspired me to write an essay which I have titled
“Implanted Sociopolitical Identities – weapons of mass destruction delivered through trojan horses of the mind”
(the post explores the ultimate 5th generation warfare tool and the mother of all psyops which is so omnipresent its ubiquity renders it invisible to the majority of humanity.)
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/implanted-sociopolitical-identities
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read it and comment (either here, and/or on substack) to promote constructive discussion.
The inception of the essay linked above began here:
https://corbettreport.com/nwnw585/#comment-175119
G
1
Firstly I would like to (Partially) AGREE with the premise that created sociopolitical identities (SPI, for space) are used as means of control.
I disagree with much of the subtext of what the essay says in that it ‘appears’ to
a) Reject national identities as unnatural
b)Suggest that there is something unique about the creation of SPI today
c) Suggest that we can escape SPI into a state of nature
d) Suggest that removal of SPI will create a peaceful world
“…..You were not born.. American (nor were you born with any other statist regime based designation) you were born a human being (imbued by the Creator of all things with an unrepeatably unique and magnificently beautiful eternal essence that some call a “soul”)
and then everything else was learned/programmed into you along the way….”
Firstly the “blank Slate” is NOT true.
Personality traits and IQ are at least 50% genetic and passed around inside family’s (and by extension clans) which give them pre-dispositions toward certain behaviors. Adopted children tend to reach levels closer to their Birth parents then those who raised them….thus your genetic inheritance will shape the kind of culture you fit into. Not all cultures suit all people.
Secondly – Identity operates on layers
The identity as Canadian CAN be as ‘real’ as any other, the disgusting Yurval Harari correctly identifies the “myths” (social machinery) that make them exist. They exist because they serve a real world job – making an environment (or farm if you like) for you to live in relative safety.
These social machines (like life support machines in human city in “the Matrix”) CAN NOT be turned off without killing the people that use them to stay alive. National SPI is just a new layer of the system described next section
@Duck
Thanks for taking the time to share your views in several in depth comments.
I like your abbreviation, except, one would need to differentiate between organic (aka spontaneously occurring) SPI and forcibly Implanted SPI (or “I-SPI” if you like). Our other discussion regarding the Prussian connection and the government “education” system ties into this as children are inculcated into and have the nationalistic SPI implanted into their psyche via forcing them to sing songs, see flags as representing part of their identity and hear stories about all the wonderous things their country and government has done in history class. Thus, it is not just a bio-regionally and place based culture specific SPI (that serves to connect an individual to a community of humans and non-human beings which have direct reciprocal relationships with them) but rather, an imperialistically constructed, artificially imposed and coercion (carrot and stick/peer pressure/mob mentality) enforced implanted SPI.
Then there is hijacked SPI (or “H-SPI” if you like) such as what I discussed with regards to the “sustainable” and “green” propaganda from governments that attempts to infiltrate existing innate capacities in humans to care about the environment, the integrity of the biosphere and the well being of those they share their community with (human and non-human beings) and commandeer those intrinsic human qualities of compassion via distorted greenwashing narratives.
RE: “Reject(ing) national identities as unnatural”.
Nation states (statist regimes with centralized governments claiming to rule over a geographically defined territory and enforce “the law” within that region using violent coercion) as we know them today, are a relatively new phenomenon within the larger scope of human history.
You can describe nationstates as “natural” if you like (I really do not care if someone wants to cling to that notion or not) but one thing is clear about their modus operendi and the results they create, these are immoral, systemically corrupt and degenerative systems for organizing humans.
I explored many of the reasons why that is the case in this post:
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/why-involuntary-governance-structures
Our host has also published voluminous, well referenced and excellently expressed works on the topic of the degenerative and unethical nature of involuntary governance and statism (some of which I will link below).

I actually like your prefixed version of SPI better. I will have to write them down when I get back to the Pond. They are kinda similar to what I was thinking but clearer.
“… Thus, it is not just a bio-regionally and place based culture specific SPI (that serves to connect an individual to a community of humans and non-human beings which have direct reciprocal relationships with them) but rather, an imperialistically constructed, artificially imposed and coercion (carrot and stick/peer pressure/mob mentality) enforced implanted SPI.…”
Yes.
That is true, but they are just another layer of the same machinery as lower level social organization. That makes them more unstable and more prone to being spun up artificially but does not IMO make them unnatural.
Re the nation state- the issue is that the modern “state” is rarely a nation of ethnic/culturally linked people. It’s more like an Empire. A 2nd problem is that a single national identity used to be created by the rulers rather then by media controllers who desire to become rulers (as we see today) and what we have now is much less real or stable then say an American or British identity if the 1800s
I would argue that “Empire” of this kind is NOT new- the Middle East had Empires in the Bronze Age and the Romans had an Empire that ate local cultures (like Gaul which lost its own language except in outposts like Bretons in favor of Latin)
These ancient empires moved people around to disrupt ethnic ID (hence Samaritans in the Bible were imports to conquered Israel) and we see the same process wiyh mass migration into the west today.
Modern nation states do the same thing,mushing ethnic identity into national….we may not LIKE this but it’s not unnatural like a pure ideological state.
Re morality- I did jot include my thoughts on that. Will post in separate box.
Continued “ethics” of state Ian
“…. on the topic of the degenerative and unethical nature of involuntary governance and statism….”
The underlying weakness of calling stateism INHERENTLY bad (it’s often bad in practice) is that as far as I can see it’s based on the Non Aggression Principle (NAP)
A second failure of this POV is to assume that morals change outcomes- plenty of horrible people can kick my ass for bad reasons. I may be moral but my ass is still kicked…being moral does not make me win.
NAP sounds very nice in theory but has no existence if it’s own in the physical world…. It is a weird derivative of Christian theology. Pretty much no pre Christian thought there was anything wrong with aggression against out groups, not do you see the NAP in nature….. in fact the NAP is basically what nietzche would have called Slave Morality of the weak- the strong have no need for it.
See link at end for CS Lewis alternative to the rule of the strong over the weak.
In nature we see a lot more Game Theory type balance of terror behavior- the game theory guy is alleged to have had paranoia but Paranoia is one of the most common mental upsets BECAUSE it is actually somewhat useful to be hyper aware of threats….violence is generally ONLY STOPPED BY FEAR IF COUNTER VIOLENCE
In practice the reason we have empires and nation states is because these social organizations WIN in competition vs smaller groups….this may not be good in the Very long term (acc to Ted-K) but small groups are defeated in detail by big ones.
Thus in the real world we see what CS Lewis would call a cycle of Barbarian conquest- weakness by soft living- new wave of barbarians…. In the four page essay linked here says that without Chivalry nothing else CAN happen.
But as he pointed out Chivalry is ART not NATURE.
https://archive.org/details/the-necessity-of-chivalry
@Duck
RE “I may be moral but my ass is still kicked…being moral does not make me win.”
I would say that an obsession with always winning at any cost is a clear path to becoming a tyrant and/or subservient and complicit with tyrants.
Take a look at the greenhouse grown plant analogy I offered in another thread regarding the fragility such conditions create, one could describe the perfectly protected plant, living in coddled, windless, bugless, soil-less, artificially lighted conditions as “winning every time” (as the plant fulfills its biological function of reproduction and the greenhouse baron profits from selling the resulting produce). However, that “winning” comes at a high cost (the plants are totally dependant, flimsy and they produce nutritionally depleted, superficially pretty and yet toxic “food”). Such is also true of the fragility that statism breeds in the helplessly dependant humans that are farmed in those systems as tax chattel.
Taking risks and facing the experience of “losing” builds character, offers opportunities for growth, humility, learning, reflection, increases resilience and can increase anti-fragility and intelligence.
An obsession with winning can breed mental fragility, subservience to morally bankrupt systems and flailing about always trying to justify the atrocities of centralized systems, so that one can do mental gymnastics and convince themselves and others why it makes sense to keep on choosing to identify as one of the “winning team”.
G
“…. I would say that an obsession with always winning at any cost is a clear path to becoming a tyrant and/or subservient and complicit with tyrants….”
Not saying you’re wrong.
But NOT valuing winning generally ends in being enslaved, stolen from, or extinct.
I have heard the Right wing described as “beautiful losers” because everything they claim to care about is being taken from them…. It’s nice to be right, but if your right while naked in a slave block is it really preferred over being free and wrong????
At the end of the day even IF the American Indian had been the most moral, upright, holy type in the world they ended up with their kids in state schools and living in filth and degradation…..maybe winning IS important????
Another example
When Mr Pilato had pests I was derided in the comments for suggesting gassing them….. would Mr P be more moral if he eschewed doing such violence and let his wife and kids live in a ruined house??
What if a pedophile moves next door to you and your kids??? Is it a silly obsession with winning if I decide to run him off by any means necessary so he’s not near my family???
Regarding the NAP in this situation-
Am I more moral to do nothing effective and leave my kids at risk??
@Duck
(continued from above..)
RE: ” Suggest that we can escape SPI into a state of nature”
That is a misrepresentation of what I wrote in the essay.
I did not suggest or talk about “escaping” into “nature”, rather when I spoke of first identifying (and then severing ties to) I-SPIs (implanted sociopolitical indentities) and instead either nurturing ancestral knowledge and animistic worldviews to take their place and/or engaging in active ethnogenesis to create a more organic (bioregionally relevant, community scale applicable, voluntary, ecologically literate, equitable and honorable SPI and nurture that to become how one defines their culture and group identity) I was talking about resisting, actively boycotting and sabotaging statist regimes (and oppression and violence based centralized religious institutions) via taking action where ever we find ourselves now. No running away or escaping involved, rather, guerilla tactics used to create unstoppable groups of decentralized (peaceful) seditious, resilient and capable humans, able to live by the 7th generation principle, while also improving life, living in service of life and undermining the authority, influence and perceived legitimacy/worth of immoral centralized institutions in the present through people living by example.
That is what my Biocultural Refugia initiative is about. Empowering motivated individuals to become biodiversity enhancing, centralized government/corporate oligarchy subverting/boycotting, physically skilled communities that take steps to embrace food and health sovereignty (severing ties to I-SPIs and H-SPIs and instead seeding new cultural expressions and traditions based in integrity to take hold locally, aka creating regenerative Parallel Societies).

@Duck
Regarding your statements about “Firstly the “blank Slate” is NOT true.” and various genetic predispositions.
I disagree with the majority of your views on how you seem to think we are slaves to our genetics.
There are certainly proclivities passed down via parental lines and ancestors, but the rigidity you suggest as far as being stuck with those genetic proclivities is false.
We have learned a lot about genetics in the last couple decades pertaining to epigenetics that is not accounted for in your statements.
I touched on some of that data in my article on Fertility (which James and I discussed recently in a Solutions Watch episode).
Here is a link to a pertinent section of the article:
https://open.substack.com/pub/gavinmounsey/p/fertility-and-reproductive-health?r=q2yay&selection=1153ea4b-40a5-42d1-a121-ad7899644eb9&utm_campaign=post-share-selection&utm_medium=web

Response to no2
My apologies if I misunderstood your take about escaping false SPI. I will reread later.
As to genetics – I do not wish to suggest that we are “slaves” to genetics.
however the is fact that we are dealt a fixed genetic hand in terms of predispositions to certain types of personality and behaviors, as well as upper IQ limits. This does NOT mean that we lack free will but it DOES place constraints on what we can actually achieve.
I doubt that you would suggest that a culture where the people have a predisposition to violence and IQs in the hundred range can remain the same if you swapped the next generation with people with a less violent predisposition and IQ in the 80s.
IMO human nature is driven by basic incentives shared by all (food, status, mating , etc) FILTERED thru their genetic cut off point (no schooling will bring IQ up by 20 points) and also filtered thru the coping mechanisms of their culture.
Sorry, but the Blank Slate is the root of the evil idea that you can change man to make him into anything. I can’t even do that wiyh chickens…..Thankfully Blank Slate is not borne out by practice or we’d be over run with philosopher kings and New Soviet Men.
Were this not the case Technocracy would actually be possible.
As to epigengentics – it activates genes but can not create potential not already there. Mainly it’s a reversion to old type (like pigs becoming boars when feral) I have a small dog born to a feral dog and she is trying to revert to Dire Wolf, lololol
I agree with you when you say:
“however the is fact that we are dealt a fixed genetic hand in terms of predispositions to certain types of personality and behaviors, as well as upper IQ limits. This does NOT mean that we lack free will but it DOES place constraints on what we can actually achieve.”
IQ and other traits like height and eye color and such do have strong genetic influences.
Although I would like to point out that in the case of IQ and intelligence in general, there are still lots we don’t understand about how environment influences potential.
I really hadn’t looked into IQ disparities in much depth prior to a few years ago and so I had believed the average was actually higher than it is. I was kind of shocked when I actually looked into the validity of genetic factors and group differences. This is probably because in public schools and even at the university level, we are taught “blank slate” theory. That we are all the same.
Having said that, IQ score is not a metric for the value of human life. I’m not saying you are suggesting this, but I just wanted to point this out.
cu.h.j.
No, thats true, IQ is in no way the measure of human value- that comes from people being made by God.
On the other hand it does set the maximum levels a person can operate at, or at least operate at easily and naturally.
The Blank Slate is attractive because it gives hope to the, rather evil, lie that anyone can be or do anything….its like the Unabomber said when someone says “They CAN be the same” what they are actually saying is “They CAN be as good as US…. IF they act exactly LIKE us” without realizing that not everyone wants to be a white middle class professional and live that kind of life…. it really is the worst kind of racist and supremicist thinking to imagine that everyone wants to “be me’.
Middle Class Whites are the worst for that, they really imagine that everyone wants what they want and that only their ‘way of being’ is correct….I used to knock around with some scummy people in my youth and realized that they live the scumbag life because THEY LIKE IT.
I imagine blacks in Africa, and Indians, like the way THEY do things now, even if it appears wicked and stupid to me. THIS guy Jayant Bhandari is an Indian and thinks their horrible too (link Pete Quiones, but he was on Watchman privacy Podcast too) so the best think for people to leave each other alone as much as possible.

The big thing whites ought to get round to seeing is that we neither OWN nor OWE foreigners. Its pure hubris IMO…as the guy in the interview said people just hate you for making them live at a level they dont belong at
“On the other hand it does set the maximum levels a person can operate at, or at least operate at easily and naturally.”
Yeah, I think this is probably true. This is also true for artistic talent as well and other natural gifts some humans have that others do not.
When my husband was in his 20s before he pursued a degree in physics, went to music school, he had to drop out towards the end because as he said “I just didn’t have the ears”
He said he realized that although he was a good amateur he could never be a professional musician. He just couldn’t operate at the level that the naturally gifted could and no amount of practice could give him what they had.
My husband also worked with a lot H-1B visa foreigners at his job and he told me at least half of them weren’t very good, but they were cheap which is why they were hired.
I started the video you linked and when the Indian guy mentions Europeans being generous and kind to foreigners here in the US, I would have to agree with that.
Some people who have never traveled abroad to other countries have no idea that foreigners are shunned in some countries and will always be outsiders. I know someone who lives in Taiwan and he says he mostly hangs out in an ex-pat community because foreigners are shunned and are viewed as outsiders and that will not change.
Oh, the Indian guy is interesting. On the topic of fake credentials, I actually had that happen with a nurse in my hospital around 2021. It was during Covid when travel nurses could make $8000 per week. There was a nurse who came to the department who did not know basic things and at first some of the other nurses were pretty nice and tried to help her out but it became obvious that she had no clue what she was doing and was dangerous.
It turned out she had used another nurses credential and she was actually a CNA. I was shocked someone would do that, but it does happen.
cu.h.j
“… It was during Covid when travel nurses could make $8000 per week…..”
I’d be tempted to pretend I was a nurse for 8 grand a week, lol.
That said I have known people who got big money easily by sneakery, and not one of them ever kept hold of it long term…..I’ve seen it a few times but one dude talked himself into a job he knew he wasn’t suited for and had he saved his money until they fired him he could have had a nice little investment wad, possibly enough to cushion him for life, instead he spent it as fast as it came and ended up with nothing but a fun ride.
I have a relative who is on disability and other benefits and OUGHT to have more ready cash then me but is always broke. I have no idea what he spends it since he has nothing very nice either. That said he is kinda a nut so he may very well make it into paper cranes and burn the notes, lol.
“I’d be tempted to pretend I was a nurse for 8 grand a week, lol.” Yeah, I understand the sentiment but the insanity of doing this in an emergency department where there is a lot of technical expertise required was very stupid on her part. I mean she had some basic knowledge because she was a CNA but did not know the fundamentals of working in an emergency room. It was obvious after about a week that something was amiss.
Had she tried traveling in a different department, or a setting like a nursing home, maybe she could have gotten away with it.
cu.h.j
Thats true, but I guess when you get greedy its easy to miss what an awful idea an exciting get rich quick scheme is, lol.

RE: “The identity as Canadian CAN be as ‘real’ as any other, the disgusting Yurval Harari correctly identifies the “myths” (social machinery) that make them exist. They exist because they serve a real world job – making an environment (or farm if you like) for you to live in relative safety.”
It can be real if we adopt it and perpetuate it internally (as well as externally) yes, however, I do not intend on doing that. Rather I intend on doing the opposite (highlighting its corrupt and immoral origins, illuminating its modern day hypocrisies, subverting and sabotaging the Canadian governments means of thieving from the people that live here and creating viable alternative SPIs via living by example, as well as encouraging others to do that in their own unique way which aligns with their specific needs and moral compass, so that people can divest from the I-SPI of being “Canadian” if they so wish).
I think that claiming people in the modern day statist regime of Canada have more “relative safety” than those that lived on this land in pre-colonial times is a myth.
As Corbett Report member “mkey” astutely pointed out in this comment: https://corbettreport.com/dissent-into-madness-the-weaponization-of-psychology/#comment-148057
Westernized, so called “civilized” cultures sacrifice the old, the poor, the young and everything in between every day and in droves.
“Bloodshed and sacrifice. All day, every day, industrial scale.”
It may be true that in pre-colonial times, if you lived in certain areas of this region now commonly referred to as “Canada”, you would have had a higher chance of being mauled by a large predator animal or perhaps being skewered with an arrow or taken captive by a marauding raiding party of one of the several more aggressive indigenous cultures that lived here at the time (as opposed to someone living here in present day) but it is also true that back then you would not have any risk of being beaten down or mugged by corrupt police (as I have been), kidnapped by police to be help in prisons for profit or targeted by large scale, covert, eugenics operations, using big pharma, poisoning the water, air, food and minds of people.
As I said to mkey in the comment thread linked above, When I really think about it I would prefer a war club over the head and/or an arrow in the chest as opposed to the sickening, nefarious and pure evil process of being convinced you are safe and then drugged to death by a bunch of brainwashed cold hearted industrial medical staff.
I would rather face death honestly and knowingly.
Also, even if you could prove that living in a statist regime is “safer” than not, I would argue that a “safer” life does not equal a full and meaningful life. In fact, I would argue that an obsession with safety, ease and comfort is one of the most deleterious mental illnesses that plagues modern western civilization (especially in techno-optimists like JC described in his Algocracy podcast and Stockholm syndromed “mommy and daddy government will save us and make everything all better” types as well).

Re Canadian national identity
“….. It can be real if we adopt it and perpetuate it internally (as well as externally) yes, however, I do not intend on doing th……”
This agrees with me then- no false SPI can actually work long term.
The fact that you “choose” a different one is more indicative that you value FREEDOM, not that these SPIs are wrong. You are only able to value freedom because you are able to exist outside of the main group thanks to the material gains if the modern world. Olde Tymers did not have that choice because if the community rejected them they died.
Not making a moral judgment, just an observation
Re safety “in the farm”
Do you really think that people who exist one hunt from starvation are “safer” then you are when your worried about thug cops?
Do you really think thug cops kill more people then raiding parties or feuds did in ye olden days?
Do you really think you have more or less chance of early death by hunger disease or violence then a guy in the pre industrial world???
I do NOT suggest farm life is perfect, it’s not, but in terms of early death and access to resources Industrial Society HAS delivered just as agricultural society delivered before it…. Sure hunter gatherers were taller and stronger but that was because if you were small and weaker like a Neolithic dirt farmer you died.
The dirt farmers had worse lives, but more of them could exist and they could afford to be smaller…they ran the hunter gathering into less desirable land thru numbers and technology……..that is the trap of technology TBH. It WORKS even if it makes some things worse people will use it.
I would argue that “an obsession with safety “ DOES lead to Mental illness, but what Moderns call danger is nothing like pre-agricultural or pre-industrial life was like.
@Duck
RE: “Do you really think that people who exist one hunt from starvation are “safer” then you are when your worried about thug cops?”
There are fallacies built into your question.
Within the vast spectrum of diversity of cultures that existed here in pre-colonial times (which you tend to like to generalize as all being the same people with the same tendencies and ways of living) many of them were actually advanced horticulturalists and regenerative agriculture experts. Some of the cultures here were more nomadic (seasonally migrating to get their food from predominantly hunting) but they were not the majority.
I study the exant (and still functioning) remnants of the food systems of the peoples of the Eastern Woodlands here where I live in person. I take soil samples from the fragments of food forests that are left, I identify species distribution in old growth trees (in some instances working with ecologists that take core samples of those trees for counting growth rings) and I taste the food that is still produced by these manmade ancient forest ecosytems.
No amount of dismissive and ignorant “hunter gatherer” rhetoric is going to convince me that the people here 300-500 years ago were “primitive” and “one hunt away from starvation”. I can read the forest here and see how much food it produces (and would have produced given more ideal annual care of brush burning etc). I have read the accounts of the Jesuit Preists and French military officers that interacted with the pre-colonial peoples of this region and witnessed their food production, storage and town structures. The people that lived here had a food system that was far more advanced and reliable than any European agriculture system, and they were described as having longhouses with baskets filled with nuts and dried fruit for the winter.
In reality, the colonial peoples were much more prone to starving due to their ecological illiteracy. Also, modern day humans in this region now eat typical diets that are inferior to the diet of a person living here 300-500 years ago.
For more info on some of the specific pre-colonial foods that were cultivated and stored to allow for food abundance, nutritional excellence and reliability in the diet of people here in pre-colonial times, read:
https://open.substack.com/pub/gavinmounsey/p/shagbark-hickory-carya-ovata?r=q2yay&selection=80fb984f-9ed6-4f0c-a3d4-5dd67bd81d6d&utm_campaign=post-share-selection&utm_medium=web
So … just to pin you down….
Do you think that pre industrial people lived lives as safe as they do now?
I already addressed how some things are worse. I don’t say everything is better, (it’s not)
But
Can such systems provide the level of safety from disease starvation and violence we enjoy in the modern world???
Can it provide it to the number of people alive TODAY??
Again, it’s not say that modern life “on the farm” is good, but people go along with it for the same reason my chickens dont escape. Regular food and general safety….the fact that we look down on that today shows how much of those things the farm has provided
@Duck
I`ll answer your questions when I have more time.
“Pinning me down” will have to wait until another day.. been going steady propagating baby trees and planting big trees and gonna be going steady for many days ahead.
For now, i`ll say this, since beauty is (as well as perceived quality of life, how fulfilling a life is, what one sees as meaningful in life and many other variables of that nature are) in the eyes of the beholder (and all things are relative) what may seem “better” to you, is, in fact, perceived as the opposite by another.

“…..When I really think about it I would prefer a war club over the head and/or an arrow in the chest as opposed to the sickening, nefarious and pure evil process of being convinced you are safe and then drugged to death by a bunch of brainwashed cold hearted industrial medical staf………”
Again, I never suggested that the modern world was wonderful and perfect. It’s not.
I was showing why people allow themselves to live on “the farm” or “the plantation” (or whatever metaphor you prefer) and the reason is the same one that stops my chickens escaping to freedom.
I must also ask how many people you have seen die unexpectedly from having their skull spilt open by a war club? I am sure the twitching was very unpleasant to watch
Also while an arrow CAN kill cleanly sometimes , other times a projectile can leave a man rolling around for a bit. Not very pretty.
I imagine that getting an infected gut wound was pretty awful too (that’s why cowboys were scared of those funny mouse caliber gambler guns you could carry up your sleeve)
While I DONT think your choice is “wrong” I do think understanding WHY people made that choice is important.

Here is a video essay on slavery and the life style of the slave vs the worker.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eiS-cSUKsh8&pp=ygUWU2xhdmUgbWluaW93YWdlIHdpcmtlcg%3D%3D
While I am not going to suggest that slave life was wonderful it did provide food and safety…. And MOST slaves went along with it.
While I would never go as far as the Hillarious Kurt Saxon he did read aloud details of life in the Congo where people were basically getting eaten like chickens when captured in raids and wars.
Being kurt Saxon he suggested black people should thank whites for saving them (lolol he was a fkin nut) but he DID have a point that getting sold sure beats getting sliced up and devoured by your enemies.
Again, modern life IS NOT perfect, but the reasons people chose it are worth considering….it might be a mistake, like dogs living with us and getting turned into pugs, but it was chosen for a reason
Here is part one (of two, look on the channel)

Is this really true?
“For now, i`ll say this, since beauty is (as well as perceived quality of life, how fulfilling a life is, what one sees as meaningful in life and many other variables of that nature are) in the eyes of the beholder (and all things are relative) what may seem “better” to you, is, in fact, perceived as the opposite by another.”
Are all things relative?
I agree with you about some traits being valued more by different people. However I do think some things are objectively better than other things, especially if we are talking about quality of life.
Having purpose and depth to existence to me is objectively better than having no purpose. I suppose this is a philosophical debate, like the notion of free will.
My point is that although there is some truth to the idea that some things are relative, I don’t think it’s true that all things are.
I think having basic sanitation is objectively better than not having it. I think small farming is superior to large industrial farming, etc. As far as beauty goes, I think a large part of it comes from within.
I do get the gist of what you are saying though and I think you are striving to find something objectively better than what exists now. Regenerative farming for example is objectively better than the alternative.
@cu.h.j
Okay, then lets say “most things are relative” 🙂
My point was that some people today see skyscraper canyons (which are food deserts and biodiversity stripped) as “better” and an “improvement” on living within a biodiverse forest habitat.
Techno-optimists (like that guy with the bulbus cone head in JC’s video on Algocracy) would say that humans being brain chipped and plugged into AI algorithms to control our behavior, monitor our thoughts and condition us to do what they think is best for us, is “better” than old fashioned natural organic humans making their own decisions.
Some people prioritize solitude for major portions of their existence in this life and others like to be constantly around other humans.
Those perceptions of what is “better”, what is beautiful and what is enjoyable are subjective.
With regards to sanitation, there is a lot of half truth and propaganda out there about “then” vs “now” that is based on Eurocentric generalizations. The centers of european imperialistic statist power had horrible sanitation for many centuries and their depravity, adolescence and backwardness with regards to raw sewage led to many serious health issues.
Other cultures had mastered methods for not only safely disposing of human waste, but actually transforming it into long term highly valuable resources (such as the Terra Preta of the Amazon).
So the linear “then to now” tale of “progress” (from dirty idiots throwing their feces into the streets and poisoning their own water/air to now with indoor plumbing that flushes our waste into chemical treatment plants and then into waterways) as an example of how much more “advanced” we are is built on a combination of ignorance, half-truths and not looking at the bigger picture.
RE : “I think you are striving to find something objectively better than what exists now.”
No, that sounds like it would be a pointless effort to romanticize and cling to the past. Rather than striving to find something better than what exists now (either through looking at the past as a “lost eden” or buying into techno-optimist utopia delusions for the future) I look to the extant examples of regenerative, ethical, decentralized and scalable food and medicine systems and work to duplicate and regenerate those systems (food forests).
They are not that hard to create, it just takes persistence and patience. Those are things I strive to cultivate in my mind, and I look to both my ancestors and modern science when working to co-create alternative systems to the current plunder/exploitation based agriculture, industrial medicine, architecture and government systems.
Thanks for the comment.
I think your gifts that you share with us here are important and some of the techniques ancient peoples had to keep soil healthy is better than what exists nowadays. It’s better because it’s less harmful to the environment and provides more nutritious food. Those things can be quantified.
Now, not every ancient culture was better than the industrial culture that replaced it because we can objectively quantify why.
I think this brings up the idea JC discussed previously on moral relativism, that it is an error. He uses his gifts as a researcher, teacher and author to make the world better than what it is today.

Thirdly – SPI is natural
People ARE born in an area, into a group, and thus into an identity.
Man is a ‘political animal’ because he CAN NOT LIVE OUTSIDE OF A GROUP, as people from Paine to Aristotle have pointed out….. there is no lone person who exists free, outside of ‘any’ collective.
The basic identity is that of family. Your family are the people most likely to care if you live or die, and want good not bad for you.
The extended family of blood kin expands into the Clan or Tribe (normally with the myth that they have a single heroic progenitor) and you see the Clan/Tribe/extended family everywhere I know of that humans have lived.
These tribes, IF able will grow beyond Dunbars number (300 iirc) where everyone can personally know everyone else….thus they must have a shared set of values/rituals/beliefs/ect so that they can judge how a non known member will interact with them…..they must share a ‘culture’ and thus an identity or every interaction with a new person is unpredictable and dangerous. The awful book ‘sapients’ by Harari correctly explains this.
Tribes that can share a wider identity will be more able to keep hold, or take, resources from other tribes. Just as a truly anti-social man is almost utterly powerless against a group intent on harming him a person who was TOTALLY without a SPI group has no one else to help him. Thats why being excluded and shunned is so painful to most people- we are wired to fear it because it led to death without a group to support you.
The Nation State is just BIGGER, and requires more cultural machinery to function…. The SPI is just the cultural machinery that makes it operate and allows society to function on that scale.
However we FEEL about big scale identities the fact is that we have seen them pop up again and again, NORMALLY in the form of Empire. The ideological Nation State is a new form of this, but not very different in practice then Empire
Fourthly – WHY ?
Humans are social animals. We live in groups, the group extracts its resources (food, water, space,ect) from the environment.
The two big issues of group living are
a)How can I predict how this guy will act so we can cooperate?
b)How can I stop those outsiders taking my stuff?
Society exists to create an ARTIFICIAL environment – yes, “a farm” that humans live on , in a state of semi domestication.
However we FEEL about that its simply true that MOST people can not, and don’t want, to go back to hunter gathering. Humans LIKE living on the farm for the same reason chickens do – they get easier access to the stuff they need to live.
However much we like to pretend that less advanced cultures that lost in the global dominance arms race were ‘better’ (in SOME ways they no doubt WERE) the fact is that they were unable to compete and were marginalized or exterminated. Big cohesive groups can bring more organized violence to bear and will thus conquer those that can not, its simple economics.
3
Fifth – the falsity of many SPI
“…The sociopolitical identities most of us have proudly described ourselves with were implanted in our minds by social engineers and these weapons of the mind have been very, Very effective in achieving their intended outcomes…..”
YES…. This is true. Mass media has allowed a small group of people to CREATE whole new SPI that (unlike ‘real’ SPI) have no basis in reality.
A real SPI must have some basis in historical culture, genetic heritage, or religion. A False SPI is spun up and has no real ‘root’ in anything beyond the desires / needs of the culture controllers.
“…. These trojan horses of the mind have been used to cajole millions into supporting imperialistic wars of exploitation as well as to carrot and stick Billions into putting experimental genome contaminating injections into their bodies…..”
This is TRUE, but HAS ONLY HAPPENED BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR NATURAL SPI and are thus left open to having false ones inserted. The SPI of ‘alphabet people’ is false because Lesbians, Gays, Trans have competing interests and few common interests except that they are perverts. The SPI of Blacks or Hispanics is real, but again they have few common interests so the SPI of ‘people of color’ is false.
“……Make no mistake, these methods of mind control are weapons of mass destruction as there would be no wars if everyone refused to pick up a gun in the first place….”
True BUT there would also be no way to band together, no ‘war’, just conquest of those weak people who cant defend themselves as a group because they have no common identity.
A world without war would require a world without conflict, a world without conflict requires a world without competition for resources and that will never happen. War is natural to fallen man.
“….. implant a fabricated cultural identity based on immoral and degenerative statist and/or anthropocentric, oppressive and imperialistic dogmatic religious ideas where a genuine, intact, ancestrally grounded organic cultural identity should be able to germinate, grow and evolve naturally…..”
Who decides its ‘moral’ or ‘immoral’?
ONLY when you agree that there is a way people OUGHT to act can you judge morals.
The only two ways to judge how people OUGHT to act are
a) Belief in a personal God that sets morality
b)Belief that the Will of the Strong sets morality
As to Natural SPI’s….they will come down to Race, Religion and ideology.
CS Lewis does off an alternative with “The necessity of Chivalry” but it is, itself, dependant upon a Christian worldview to actually hold together as an idea, and even then appears unlikely right now

@Duck
RE: “Who decides its ‘moral’ or ‘immoral’?”
We are all born with the capacity to use our conscience to discern that.
This capacity may be slowly beaten out of us and conditioned to be buried under layers of programming, but it is a spark that always exists, and can be fanned to make a flame and illuminate a path based in integrity and guided by a sound moral compass going forward.
We do not need books, institutions, organized religions, governments or preachers/gurus to recognize that spark and allow it to guide us. The Creator of all things gifted each of us with the capacity to know what is right and what is wrong. Being capable of listening to that inner voice after a lifetime of mental conditioning to only listen to intellect, ego and outside “authorities” can be challenging, but it is not impossible.
I think you will agree that when wise men from the past shared things like “thou shall not kill” and “treat your neighbor as you want to be treated” these words clearly resonate with that innate spark of God given conscience within you and are definitively knowable as being based in truth (regarding universally applicable moral standards).
There are other wise women and men that have shared similar truths that we can discern to be aligned with universal truths about morality, but the important thing about perceiving them as such, comes from the realization that those truths are things we already held within us all along, and that those wise men and women that mirrored them to us in their words, were only serving as reminders of that which we are capable of accessing through looking within ourselves.
“….. RE: “Who decides its ‘moral’ or ‘immoral’?”
We are all born with the capacity to use our conscience to discern tha……”
I partially agree (and recommend CS Lewis Abolition Man for a description of this property) HOWEVER we should not that since all of human history is knee deep in blood and people DISAGREEING over morals it’s clearly not as simple as you suggest.
The other question is HOW one gets told by the Creator what is right and wrong- my FEELINGS generally tell me that stuff I would LIKE to do is “right” and moral….. it would indeed be weird if a Creator set out a moral code then just left his creations to “feel” it out (very poorly at times). Without Direct Revelation it is a poor argument IMO.
The Biggest issue is that people who go OUTSIDE air this moral framework you suggest do not APPEAR to suffer any punishment or disadvantages for doing so.
Clearly people that YOU would call immoral took large chunks of the world from people YOU would call moral…..
A) so WHAT is the value of such a morality????
B) what binding force does this morality have if I can ignore it and over run my neighbors and steal their stuff without punishment?
Interesting you mention innate capacity for empathy. I think this is probably true for most people, but there is some validity to the idea that some people are born with psychopathic tendencies. Like other genetic traits, some of this is a complex interplay between the environment and genetics, but the genetic contribution exists.
This begs the question, why would some people be born with a proneness to psychopathy? Is there some benefit to some of these traits? I mean some say we are born in the image of God. If that’s true, why do these abnormalities exist?
My point is that human beings are extremely complex life forms and there are a lot of unknowns and people fill in the blanks with beliefs.
I do think that empathy is trait that should survive in humanity and in fact has been why we (different groups and types of humans) have survived.
I believe empathy needs to be cultivated in early childhood. I recall becoming aware of my own empathy when I was about 3. That I felt bad if I hurt someone else. But my moral development was heavily influenced by my mother and my grandparents socializing me and teaching me to value honor. I don’t know if I would be the person who I am today without that.
Cu.h.j
“…This begs the question, why would some people be born with a proneness to psychopathy? Is…”
A psychopath is quite useful – CS Lewis in his 4page essay “neccescity of chivalry “ wrote about how the man who quite useful in war often has no place but prison in peace time.
You probably met a ton of them in health care, where not really caring and having steady nerves might be an advantage (insure dont want a surgeon getting nerves if he has me open, lolol)
Since I’m just reading the Iliad its an appropriate question, lol, since the mindset of those bronze age warriors is quite psychopathic tbh.
But psychopaths-
It’s not a proneness, it’s a brain defect that makes them low arousal when it comes to certain things.
They are born like that, they may or may not be violent but they WILL grow up as psychopaths. It’s not a learned behavior (I think that’s called sociopaths these days????) but a biological fault in their brain.
I was just watching something about the difference between sociopaths and psychopaths, and one researchers says just that: psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made.
There are instances of horrific crimes by children, specifically murders and there is debate regarding prison sentences. In what cases is a life sentence cruel and unusual?
I think in the case of psychopaths who have murdered people, probably should stay behind bars. In some cases maybe people can grow out of it and be rehabilitated, but some are too dangerous to get out.
Interestingly during the scamdemic, my hospital treated people on death row. I looked some of them up afterwards and I was glad there were two prison guards with them at all times during their stay. Some of the crimes were horrible.
I get what you’re saying about surgeons and some doctors possibly having sociopathic traits. You might be right in some cases, but some people just have a less sensitivity to blood and guts.
Personally I can tolerate blood and guts, but other bodily fluids make me sick.
I’ve met some uncaring and borderline unethical doctors and nurses who are just there for the paycheck.
If you are ever bored, look up “Doctor Death” out of Texas.
“…sentences. In what cases is a life sentence cruel and unusual?…”
Some people need to be out of circulation. I guess they could execute them but people are squeamish to a fault.
I think there is a valid argument in some cases for diminished capacity especially if they are children. They have a different brain than an adult and some can change.
I think a death penalty sentence is actually more expensive than a life sentence because of the appeal process.
Cu.h.j
“… They have a different brain than an adult and some can change…”
An actual psychopath (the word gets used very loosely these days IMO) can NEVER a change.
They tried training them and it just made them better at faking normal brain function and into better criminals
(See Jon Robson book “psychopath test”)
“….I think a death penalty sentence is actually more expensive than a life sentence because of the appeal process….”
That’s a CHOICE that is made, the system used to work just fine with people being strung up days , weeks or months after conviction. I don’t suggest NO appeals, but I would suggest the current system is deliberately set up to work like molasses.
Honestly I also think it should be public, if we’re not ashamed of the death penalty it should be done openly. The weird ways they kill people are also a sign of shame- hanging, shooting vet work just fine.
If they must pretend it’s a medical procedure slapping excess pain patches on someone is a lot cheeper then fussing with weird hard to find drugs
Yeah, I think the research on true psychopaths have strong evidence of it being permanent. There are people who commit murder who aren’t true psychopaths and there are some children who have murdered who might not be true psychopaths. In some cases, there’s a case to be made for the possibility of rehabilitation.
I do believe in the possibility of redemption in some cases.
I’m not against a death penalty in cases of murder and abuse. The crime and circumstances being factors to consider. I’d probably be able to carry it out personally if it were my loved one who was murdered

“….Yeah, I think the research on true psychopaths have strong evidence of it being permanent….”
I can imagine a pretty epic novel about a psychopathic Sex murderer who gets experimental treatment that fixes his brain so he suddenly feels Empathy and guilt for his crimes…. It would be super emotional as he tries to become a new man while fighting against the urges he once gave into for fun.
Man, I wish I was a better writer. It would be a super good chick book if he has a live interest too, and also get dudes interested because most guys secretly wish they could be as fearless as a TV psychopath (though in reality they are actually pretty boring, irritating people who steal crap all the time)
The Buffy arc about Spike with a chip certainly got a lot of people going on about it back in the day
To provide some technical feedback, I find this substack format with inclusions of excerpts from other articles a tad confusing. I was having difficulty understanding where does the article end. All clear up to the Smedley Butler articles and it gates a bit confusing after that point.
As far as the content itself, it is very well put together. I think I got most out of inclusion of the Zeitgeist clip. I watched that movie many time, 10 to 15 years ago, and now I realized that message shot well above my head.
It is true that once the initiate is ready to hear, a master teacher will appear to provide the instruction. I’ll spill the beans and conclude that master teachings are out there, all over the place, but most ears are deaf to them.

Zeitgeist is a psyop.
It gave a lot of truth and then went off into la la land, a lot like Alex Jones. When getting rid of rats I do the same trick- a nice sweet feeding for a while then slip in the plaster of Paris so the mix kills.
Like I pointed out before Duck, you display psychopathic tendencies. Your go-to first move is to destroy life. I’d avoid your place on Halloween. You enjoy tricks and you have no qualms slipping it in for fun? Differentiation may just be what your weak suite is in the future. Sorry you don’t get it.
Gbw
“….Duck, you display psychopathic tendencies…..”
Since you have neither met me face to face nor know me in person I doubt very much that you can make such a judgment.
Trust my word or not as you like, by Zeitgeist is a poison pill. If I recall correctly the guy whi fronted it is rather Technocratic in his outlook.
I bet you think Tim Leary was clean too, lol
But do as you will. It’s on you not me
Duck,
Im no more a doctor of psychiatry than psychiatry is a legit medical science.
However I did play one once. I was boo’d off stage for suggesting we as humans should bless the beasts and the children.
However, you don’t reluctantly kill like your neighbor south of here does. There is the difference between guilt and joy.
GBW
“…..Im no more a doctor of psychiatry than psychiatry is a legit medical science…..”
Then how can you use a term such as Psycopath? It has a specific meaning.
‘….However, you don’t reluctantly kill like your neighbor south of here does. There is the difference between guilt and joy…..”
No, those are sheep words and sheep thinking.
To a sheep even a friendly little dog looks like a baaaaaad wolf. If your gonna be a sheep you would do better following the Good Shepard rather then the gypsie with a tasty treat…. yummy sheep roast for him, eh?
But, since we started on ‘Zeitgeist’ perhaps you should consider that when someone with such a wicked and tricksy mind warns you its a trap ….. maybe they have an insight you dont?
Dont you think someone who understand nasty tricks is better able to see one then yourself? Since you are so pure and innocent?
Alternatively you could look at the technocratic ideas the guy behind it has…indeed you could look at ALL the types of people who have the New Agey thinking for the last 200 years….. but maybe you like to go off warm fuzzies more then real facts. THAT is the best trap of all
Oh 🦆,
Have you a Scottish fancy for sheep? 🐑🦆 The term psychopathy and sociopathy are as politically derived as superiority complex, revealing a possible latency. Not that I’ve meet you but I read you. As Mkey said once ” you have been active” translated from Croatian means manic.
Living by The law of the jungle one has no moral authority to anything higher than base materialism and survival instinct. Animal magnetism. You can’t kill your way into eternity or enlightenment or safety or security. Try not killing for a year, not even a fly and report back in on all that will be revealed to your monkey brain beastiality. You may come to know the meaning of life. It’s liberating, not liberalizing 🦆.
Half to three quarters of the books printed are crap propaganda. Not worth polluting your intellect. Quality in reading Duck not quantity. You drive me quackers. Sometimes. Byea-aaa-aaa-aah🦆
Gbw
“…. Have you a Scottish fancy for sheep? 🐑….”
You mark yourself as a man who has never been to Scotland- a Scot would Nut you for thinking him a Welshman with that suggestion…… this lack of precision clearly spills over into your loose use of other terms.
To use “psychopath” as a “political” term makes it a meaningless insult, uou might as well call me a sheepshagger (oh… I see you did.lol)
If you read Jon Ronsons book “the psychopath test” you will see how people like to use that term for “people I don’t like” rather then it’s PROPER use for people with A VERY SPECIFIC BRAIN DEFECT.
As to “the law of the jungle” vs “morality” I would point out that a wise man said that The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools.
But I don’t expect you to know that, because you fail to look into the people behind Zeitgeist and its ilk….anyone with half a wit would have smelled the spookery , and perhaps the sulphur.

On Zeitgeist- I don’t even need to get into their dodgy theology but just need to highlight their Political outlook.

As usual Mr Corbett has done most of the work for us plebs…. But read on later to hear Mr Joseph’s OWN WoRDS
https://corbettreport.com/the-dark-agenda-behind-the-resource-based-economy/
Here is the zeitgeist guys lecture on his planned Tecno communism Utopia
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4mkRFCtl2MI
In it you can hear Mr Joseph DESCRIBE his ideal Planned Economy with an ACCOUNTING OF ALL RESOURCES (11:30 or so) and discuss the “carryingcapacity of earth” and how it must be worked out….
The Fking CARRYING CAPACITY of YOU.
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY IN FAVOR OF THIS GUYS PLANs????
Or did you fall for the sweet talk and never bother to learn more???? We ALL get fooled but your only “a” fool when you refuse to change your mind.
Extras:
Here is a lecture by Mr Joseph. I especially like all the Marxist terms, really shows where he is coming from.
“……Joseph advocates for a new social and economic orientation, one based on sustainable abundance rather than scarcity and competition. He suggests that we must embrace technological advancements that allow for “more with less” and create a system that prioritizes resource efficiency and equity. The lecture ends with a call to action, urging creative and activist initiatives to drive systemic change from the bottom up, moving toward a post-scarcity society.….”

I would bet money that this guy is in the pocket with of the worst of the Tech Bros AND the worst of the Olde School Commies.
As to ME i am no doubt a horrible ass but I don’t particularly want you dead and ground up for biomass so I’d say that makes me NOT a your enemy.

When my post gets thru moderation you can follow the links to the words of the Zeitgeist man where he talks about how great the Techno cratic Utopia will be and how they will find the “carrying capacity of earth” (how many plebs must die)
But in the interim…..
Here is Mr Corbett and his opinion on Zeitgeist- from way back when

Larsen Andersen
GBW
As to the Utopia of the Zeitgeist movement- I would warn you that however nice the candy looks and however cute the puppies are you should NOT GET IN Yhe VAN….if telling people unhappy truths makes me unpopular I can at least remember Mr Corbetts words
“……Those who promise us a world of plenty, where we will receive everything for nothing, will always be popular with a public looking for an easy solution to all their problems. And those who warn against the dangers of utopian thinking will never be popular. They will always be cast as obstacles in the path to the ideal society, and dismissed as charlatans by the masses who are swept into revolutionary fervour, their judgement clouded by the comforting fog of utopian visions.
No, it is never a popular thing to warn against utopia. But it is nonetheless necessary.…”

On zeitgeist and the Venus project(technocracy) imagine my surprise when the Venus guy pushed by zeitgeist turned out to be a Jewish Technocrat.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacque_Fresco
WHAT a surprise!!! Who would have thought that the SAME old religious heresies would be associated with the SAME one world totalitarian ideas (AGAIN)?????
Seriously, it’s not like the Lucifer (or is that Venus??? lol) Publishing co (now the Lucis Trust) would be in the UN council of Churches AND involved in getting Occupy going???? It’s not like Theosophy has been up to its neck in NWO tricks and the New Age thinking… oh wait, It WAS….lolol
Much as I hate to admit it the crazy fundies I used to laugh at were right on almost everything.
From the article
“…..The aims of The Venus Project have no parallel in history, not with communism, socialism, fascism or any other political ideology. This is true because cybernation is of recent origin. With this system, the system of financial influence and control will no longer exist.”[5…..”

Duck,
Thanks for all that zieghiel stuff.
Carbon crap Commie tax and swaps by the biggest crooks there ever where. I don’t have the fire power to run down the role of WinRock International or ARC. But they shoehorn right into what all you have brought to my attention.
https://acrcarbon.org/
One of Win rocks managers tried to tell me some twenty years ago Ziet…was the end all be all of conspiracy truths, or some such siht. Needless to say An inconvenient Truth and Big Al Gore also got him hard for some reason.
Can you dig up some crums on Rochefeller and that Ziet…movie?
I don’t necessarily think killing mice is evidence someone has psychopathic tendencies.
I kill them too, reluctantly. I have large bucket traps out in the back of my house and in my garage because I can’t let my cats out to hunt them because of the coyotes. I need to preserve my car, my house and my health (potential Hanta virus is field mice).
I do feed the mice to vultures and crows, so don’t feel as bad about doing it.
You must have been watching the you tube mouse trap guy? He always feeds his catch to the scavengers.
I’m not sure who I watched but I did watch a youtube video on mouse traps and the bucket trap seemed efficient and quick. There are a ton of vultures out where I live and they do enjoy the mice.
As you know mice will destroy electrical wiring and insulation and contaminate a house with droppings and pee which can carry disease.
I wasn’t about to spend tens of thousands of dollars to fix damage caused by mice. I mean people can certainly try to spare the mice but I haven’t found any deterrent that works.
@mkey
Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback.
When you say excerpts, do you mean those little blurbs underneath the linked articles? I think I may have an option to shrink those or remove them if so. I`ll check on that.
I also threw the thing together in a mad rush as I have a lot of plates spinning with physical projects (and no editor or assistant or anything to make my ramblings all shiny and neat).
Ya I remember watching that Zeitgeist movie when I was apprenticing to be a stone mason in Whistler, BC. I was renting what one might describe as a walk in closet (in a house with like 7 other people living there) and I had this bunk bed crammed in there with the bed about 2 feet from the ceiling (so if I got up to fast I would wack my head on the roof) and underneath I had this tiny desk I could sit in hunched over to use my pc. It was in that ghetto little walk in closet room that I stumbled across Zeitgeist on youtube. It sparked my drive to ask some hard questions and challenge dogmas and narratives I had previously accepted.
Well said regarding the master teachings.
Thanks for the comment.
@mkey
I shrunk down the linked articles so they do not have that quote/blurb thing attached and it is just the link now.
Is that any better as far as lessoning confusion ?
Cheers
I think this is better, yes. Good luck.
@mkey
Awesome thanks for the additional feedback.
JC, maybe you can conclude your life’s work with a deep dive into the psyop that is known as the Abrahamic religions, and the syntax of their holy books?
It is, after all, the biggest deception.
Hello James and friends
I just wanted to through this video out as a possible solution watch.
Its about a half hour but the gist is you a guy walks into a city hall claiming he’s doing a documentary on organized crime. He says he been told a crime organization works out of that location and proceeds to explain how government is organized crime.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptfv-6EJAYw
This fella does not go by the name of Grande Johnson for nothing.
@anthony.b
Props to that Johnson fellow for his audacious efforts to educate and evoke introspection in the indoctrinated foot soldiers of the most powerful organized crime syndicate on Earth (which is invisible to most humans on Earth due to its ubiquity and the generational-amnesia).
One time (when a police officer was harassing a friend without probable cuase) I told the RCMP officer he was nothing more than an armed thug and bully with a badge, he reached for his mace so I bolted. I suppose I could have stood my ground, but the guy seemed like he would have been happy to mace me, baton me, or kill me and then lie about what happened (and there were no body cams back then) so I took the less honorable and less courageous route and ran away.
I like how the guy in the video you linked uses his charisma, confidence and stature to counter-psyop the statist enforcers (seeding conscious awareness of their complicity with immoral oppressive systems through his presence and questions).
I would value James and that guy exploring what he does in the context of a Solutions Watch episode (for something that is able to be applied universally in a decentralized manner). I think the size, adept verbal articulation, confidence and charisma of the guy likely plays a role in his apparent success in his audacious police de-programming / confronting endeavors so maybe it is not something that everyone (in any place) can do as effectively as that guy?
Either way, still a legit mode of leading by example and shining a light on the truth worth exploring in that context.
Thanks for the comment.
I assure you that running away was a sensible move. Talking to cops can be extremely dangerous, if you get killed they are likely to get to walk away and even if they don’t, there are plenty more people like that to follow suit.
These people are 10x worse than thugs and criminals. People at least know they are supposed to resist thugs and criminals.
@mkey
Perhaps, and I was unarmed and only 17 (with that cop being a 20 something year old with an arsenal of weapons on his belt) but I felt bad that my buddy had to deal with that scum bag alone. Thankfully he just illegally searched him and roughed him up a bit with the cuffs and nothing worse.
In another instance months prior to that episode I described above, I saw that same cop with 3 others (fresh out of the academy, very trigger happy and with something to prove) pin down a 16 year old kid that was lipping them off. They cuffed him, one of the cops stuck his knees in the kids back with his face on the asphalt, and another one busted his face up with a baton (he lost a tooth). The RCMP that they send to Whistler seemed to be a particularly nasty breed of bullies.
I just never bowed down to bullies in school so I have always found it challenging to do that when it comes to the ones with badges, though part of me also realized that risking getting murdered by an egotistical idiot with a badge just to stand my ground for moral integrity reasons is not worth it in that kinda situation.
They have killed over less in Vancouver when I was living there, groups of cops beating or tasing people to death on the street or in an airport security detention room for fun and then getting paid vacations (aka “paid disciplinary suspensions”) even after video footage emerges of them electrocuting someone to death that posed no threat to them.
I appreciate the comment.
It’s important to remember that this us vs them is the usual racket, where people are pitted against each other, while what the system is protecting when seemingly protecting the cops is system itself.
Order followers are damned, of course, but they will still be defended and thanked for their “service” by the regular folks, even in these comments sections.
Likely the only way to make progress is to have the family and friends of order followers disown them if they go down that path.
The trouble is, of course, that order follower handlers build cults and brotherhoods, as a safeguard. Attack dogs are essential to their operation and they are paying them utmost attention.
@mkey
Thanks, as always, for the concise and perspicacious observations and insights.
“The trouble is, of course, that order follower handlers build cults and brotherhoods, as a safeguard.”
Yes, well said, I have observed that. It becomes a very strong imperative among cops to “protect their own” (even when that means disappearing and/or refusing to submit evidence that implicates their buddies). I have seen this first hand.
The attack dogs part is something I also have very vivid memories of as well.
When I was 7 (and my little bro was 4) we were playing on the hill beyond our backyard sliding in the snow and building snow forts. Out of the blue a german shepard came running up, we were scared of his movements so we tried to run, but he snarled, and took us down one after another. I tried fighting him with a stick but he was strong than me. On about the third time my little brother tried to run, the dog bit him in the face (ripping his lip open). I was screaming for help but no one was nearby and our parents were inside a few hundred meters away. Thankfully, the local bus service just happened to have a bus driving by and the driver saw us being attacked and pinned by the dog and jumped out of the bus to render assistance. He disabled the dog with a shovel he had on hand and we were able to get to the house (and my brother to the hospital to sow his lip back together). I will always be grateful for that observant good samaritan bus driver.
We found out later the dog was a police dog that had failed its training but was being kept as a pet by a local police officer in the neighborhood (and the dog had jumped the fence and went on a mission to find some “criminals” to incapacitate, though, he found some kids playing and settled for those instead).
Such happenings (and much worse) are some of the potential costs of training animals to be weapons of violence.
My little bro still has a nasty scar on that lip.
@mkey
Oh wait were you talking about flesh and blood dogs? or robot dogs?
Poorly trained, egotistical, badly tempered attack dogs I was referring to are cops themselves. I was thinking in lines of the Animal farm.
@mkey
Ah gotcha! That went right over my head! haha 🙂
Ya that analogy is apt.
Thanks for clarifying.
Yeah there lots of potential here . You could call the police about a preemptive ransom notice you got from a shady organization called the irs. You could then try to see they are funded through plunder. I would love to see James explore this
Also dont be ashamed of keeping yourself safe. You can’t do any good if you are dead
Take care
@anthony.b
Cool ideas.
I like that quote the guy shared in the video about plunder.
————-
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”
– Frederick Bastiat
————-
Yes good point about staying alive to do good works, cheers buddy
yes a great quote
@anthony.b
Agreed.
I overlapped the quote onto an image of the militarized police that were storming in to beat down and silence the peaceful protectors in Ottawa in 2022 (that were standing up for their rights to bodily autonomy and keeping their jobs in the face of Big Pharma rackets) here:
https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-116178036
Gonna use that quote in more future works as well so thanks for introducing me.
@anthony.b
ps –
One thing that came to mind when I first heard the quote was how the type of plunder that governments perpetrate on people everywhere has been sort of rendered invisible in being perceived as such, due to its ubiquity and normalization.
Take the Solari Report for instance. Catherine Austin Fitts uses the term often to refer to the various Bankster schemes and/or to someone like Elon Musk, yet she appears to not see that the entire involuntary governance structure itself (wonderful constitution and excellent “democratic” voting system being upheld or not) is a system based on plunder, necessitating plunder and continually funded by plunder.
Here is one of the quarterly intelligence reports put out by CAF and the Solari team that uses the term in a central way.
https://solari.com/wrap-up/2024-q3/
I suppose for people that endorse the violent coercion and institutionalized theft that are all part of living under the rule of an involuntary government system (“democracy” or otherwise) it is sort of like being born on a pirate ship and raised to think that raiding other boats and coastal communities is just “how things are done”. Perhaps one in that situation would not see it as “plunder”, just a days work doing the thing you were raised to think is normal.
It appears to me that most people that are employed by government (state or federal) are indoctrinated, and therefore, inflexible in their approach to enforcing government policies. As an American looking in from the outside, I notice this especially in Europe, whose politicians don’t appear to care at all what their citizens really want. They are inflexible in their implementation of climate change policies, and their support for the Ukrainian war. More importantly, the idea of a “Manchurian candidate” being used solely for assassinations could be expanded into the political theater. Therefore, political leaders such as Keir Starmer, Mark Carney, Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Ursula Von Der Leyen, could indeed be “Manchurian Candidates”. Especially, when witnessing their inflexibility while they go about implementing the globalist policies they appear to have been assigned to implement.
Potus maximus narcissus detritus. A couple of days ago the Magadon spewed out an AI image of himself as Pope. Posted on his personal Truth Social platform and then retweeted on the Dogefather’s X by the White House, it appears to have caused some consternation. Now he says “Not me guv”, “I didn’t do it, but it was a great joke and my wife thought it was cute”. Trump supporters be like: “calm down hypocrites, it’s funny, get over yourselves, he’s just 5d trolling”. I am not at all offended because I am not Catholic which is another cult I have stayed away from. But I am bigly disappointed that a so-called leader of the western world is such a tantrum toddler that he would be behave, er, like a tantrum toddler. How on earth is the rest of the world supposed to take the US seriously? Time for a nappy change because the Donald is (yet again) full of shit. Why do you Americans keep electing morons when there are so many talented people in your country? – yes, yes, I know….

New Full Recipe available on my blog! This one is for all you ramp foraging forest lovers out there! 😉

———–
Years ago, I got tired of all the deflation, and inflation and shrinkflation making my fiat worth very little, my grocery bills skyrocket and the amount of spinach in each supermarket bag steadily decrease (while the price goes up) so I decided to invest in nature’s Gift Economy and do most of my “shopping” in the forest and garden instead.
What I found is that when I combined some basic botanical literacy, pattern recognition, seed saving, composting, patience and foraging by the Honorable Harvest code, is that I now have access to a nutrient dense shopping list when ever I need it.
Also, unlike the corporate supermarket, the quantity (and quality) available to me in exchange for the time and energy I gift my garden (and/or the forest garden) actually increases with each passing year (not decreases) we can call this “grow-flation” if you like.
Unlike the corrupt government and their corporate partners, the forest does not charge me tax, and my investment of the currency of the Earth’s economy in seeds, wild tending edible forest plants (guerilla gardening) and helping them spread year after year means I increase biodiversity and food available to non-humans and myself year after year.
As I was walking in the woods and adjacent fields where I live and feeling gratitude for the spring time abundance I felt inspired to create a way to include all the seasonal harvests I was nibbling on and harvesting for soups/tea into a lacto-fermented preserve that would keep their nutritional essence intact while also adding probiotic goodness and fun flavors to the mix. I had been growing some peppers with grow lights in my basement over the winter and had bought a cabbage and some turnips from a local farmers market recently… the thought of a “Spring-Chi” immediately came to mind.
This kimchi recipe I linked above includes ingredients such as Nettle, Ramps, Spruce Tips, Wild Ginger, farmers market cabbage/turnip, indoor grown chilis, Atlantic Dulse, young Egyptian walking onions, Rhodiola Rosea root, goji shoots / leaves and Dandelion flowers (and more).
It is a nutrient dense fermented preserve that is packed with medicinal compounds and offers Osteoprotective/Osteoregenerative, Radioprotective (artificial EMF protection), Ocular-Regenerative and Ocular-Protective, Neuroprotective health benefits while also optimizing the innate immune system, Cardio-Protective, Cardio-Regenerative Enhancing Reproductive Health, helps with allergies, and helping Detox Glyphosate from your body.
Beyond providing nourishment and medicine for the body, making preserves that are defined by seasonal abundances such as this also offers spiritual medicine for the heart, mind and soul (more on that in the post linked above).
Happy Spring Foraging Everyone! 🙂
In case you need a reminder of the clown world we’re in and how people just get stupider with technology.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3f2bakSfF0
There’s some more repersoning for ya.
Yet another (local) peak in stupidity.
Every single one of us has the ability to change our thinking and behaviour if we so desire, even the dumbest, worst educated ignoramus, can decide to get a job instead of stealing, because it’s less painful than prison. For those of us seeing that a change of mindset on a large scale is necessary in order to stop the endless repeating of historical ‘facts’, It might strike a few, that the message most in need of being promoted is to inspire people to imagine the kind of ‘better’ life they would love to see come into existence… I’m willing to bet that the majority of people would best love a peaceful, co-operative, supportive, loving society in which to live, whilst at the same time, some, not wanting to get bored, a life with the possibility of major challenges (mental or physical) in order to find out what one is made of, if one is that way inclined… in other words the freedom to be truly ourselves (is most probably what many desire), It would be wonderful to have been brought up with a minimum of unnecessary conditioning. I say ‘minimum’, because ‘conditioning’ is an integral and unavoidable part of life, what we experience from birth onwards, and even before birth, depends on father and his health, on mother, what she ingests, how healthy she is and her emotions which release chemicals into the blood that feeds the baby, all has its effect on our biology and we all have our genetic reaction to the input, both before and after being born.
So here we are, having been born etc., and taught to ‘believe’ we cannot avoid wars, yet we constantly follow ‘leaders’ into war. Why? We have the choice not to do so. We have the choice to ‘believe’ and act differently at every level of life and if a large enough number of us (the hundredth monkey syndrome) choose to think similarly, to ‘believe’ that change towards peace, prosperity, co-operation, respect for life and the environment that gives us this life, is possible, then just as our current thinking and believing creates the current reality, a change of mindset would change that reality. Pass the message on… is my kind of propaganda.
I find it helpful to occasionally remind myself that Earth is largely a sandbox.
What we’re born into at this point isn’t ‘the world’, it’s some other dude’s creation inside the sandbox.
Cloths, school, ID cards, employment, marriage, authorities, small talk, wars, no-no words, nobel prizes, dental exams, diplomas, mortgages, groceries, labor day.
None of it is ‘the world’ even though we’re frequently told it is.
It’s some other dudes sandbox creation and, to a significant degree, we can leave it and live in a creation of our own.
It appears that will soon no longer be possible at all, but, at the moment, it still is.
When all else fails
We can whip the horse’s eyes
And make them sleep
And cry

This interview by “Germ Warfare” on UK Column might be of interest to some new Corbetteers:
The Black Nobility Are the Most Powerful People in the World
https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/the-black-nobility
Description: “Frances Leader talks about the Black Nobility, a group of wealthy families with roots going back to the Roman Empire. She explains how they built their riches by taking advantage of others, used religion to control people, and still shape global politics today. The talk shows how past and present power systems are linked, stressing the importance of understanding these patterns to grasp today’s social problems.”
Miri (of MiriAF) explores the murky credentials of “doctor” personalities in the Media and Government establishment:
https://miri.substack.com/p/dr-casey-means-business
Oh my JC (Christ, not Corbett), I fell into a mirihole for several hours this morning. Rivetting writing and it got me thinking about some local critters who got involved in the Plandemic as TV doctor dictators.
One Dr. Markotic was one of the three talking heads, and national heroes of the sordid affair, who is also said to have a “CIA clearance” from long past years, that would have made her an excellent candidate for the position.
I have no idea whether this mass murdering misanthrope ever practiced medicine, nor how to reliably confirm. However, she is on record as saying something along the lines of “times when we used to test vaccines on African children first are long past”.
Which is both brutal and poignant at the same time. Chickens coming back home to roost, ehi.

This (full) video explains more than the above clip. Cassidy, a medical doctor, is strongly pro vaccine.
Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Explains Decision to Support HHS Nominee RFK Jr.
“Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, explains his decision to support Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s nomination to be HHS secretary, despite concerns about vaccine skepticism.”

I am absolutely flabbergasted.
Dodgy DOGE
Some sobering perspectives. Please share with your Trump fanatic friends, when you are in the mood for some abuse and illogic.

That was not a bad video, but why do you care what Trump fanatics think anyway?
I’m certainly happier he is warming the seat then the other puppet, but at the end of the day even with the best will in the world, if they had it, no one can stop the coming crunch. Anyone who thinks trump or anyone else could actually save the US at this stage is just suffering from Boomerism and can be ignored.
At the end of the day Trump being in the white house IS better for people interested in keeping their freedom for the following reasons
1) Lots of Talking points that were previously kept out of the public mind are now being played lip service….even though the ruling class dont care to give it more then that this at least means more people who CAN understand can come across the ideas and history and issues that yu could only get on ‘crazy conspiracy’ sites
2) Team Trump has to at least pretend that they dont want to de-industrialize and swamp the US with foreigners – again, mostly lip service but that means that the public anger has grown enough that the ruling class need to at least pretend to care.
3) Team trump has to at least pretend to want to end the building race and culture tensions in the US….this probably wont work but it at least makes the problems more openly discussed.
ALL this means that you and anyone who actually has eyes to see has more time to prepare themselves for the next round of economic dive, coof, or Floydd riots.
If we had the other criminals in the white house we’d see ALL the same, many, bad things, but NONE of the (few) good ones…… at the end of the day no one is able to stop whats coming. The US is headed into a crappy economy, racial strife, and probably political violence and no one can stop it happening. All you can do is try to not be where the worst of it happens.
Some people wish the other side had one so we could accelerate into the bad stuff, personally I would rather delay landing in the sewer in the hope that a better landing pad shows up.
Why do I care what someone else thinks? I like the idea that everyone is at least exposed to some facts That’s why I listen to Corbett, who presents, but especially documents, things that are not in the headlines.
I am with you about calling out and opposing the woke nonsense, etc. The Trumpers were on my side, so I am particularly disturbed when they lose objectivity.
The issue the video delves into is specifically DOGE, not who you voted for. The key points are these.
1. The DOGE cuts are not actually being enacted by Congress, despite giving themselves a deadline that passed last week.
1a. Republicans are blocking their enforcement.
2 DOGE stayed away from Musk interests.
2a. Musk is the largest military contractor in the world
3. The DOGE cuts, if enacted, don’t cut our debt and tax burden, as they are exactly balanced by increases in Pentagon budgets.
So, the support of Trump is understandable, as he seems a better alternative. But blind allegiance is a mistake, and it leads to parroting polarized partisan lies. The cartoonish absurdities that the left is embracing surely cause us to react. In Europe and Britain and Canada and Australia it is more entrenched and worse in some ways. But we should avoid granting those currently in power dictatorial leeway. Hold their feet to the fire. At least be able to look at all simple facts.

“…So, the support of Trump is understandable, as he seems a better alternative. But blind allegiance is a mistake, and it leads to parroting polarized partisan lies….”
Yes, thats true.
As to the DOGE ‘cuts’ ….. is it news to anyone who is playing attention? I’ll be happy if he cuts education spending a bit (even if its just to cut off his rivals funding thru the teachers union) and kills PBS.
‘… don’t cut our debt and tax burden, as they are exactly balanced by increases in Pentagon budgets…..”
None of that matters.
Taxes dont pay for the government, at this point they could literally make NO ONE pay tax and still keep doing what they do……INFLATION pays for it as they print/borrow . Last I read only 1 out of every 3 or 4 bucks the Gov spends actually comes from Tax.
There is no way that the US will be fielding armed forces the way we do now in a decade unless something VERY radical happens to make the US a production economy again (it probably wont).
The Pentagon will never willingly cut its budget, NO ONE will. It will have to reach the point that inflation destroys everyones savings and you starve if your dependent on Social security – thats when they will try the Universal Basic Income or technocratic take over or whatever. There is almost zero chance that anything the normies do will stop that attempt (personally I think it will fail)
Literally the only thing anyone can do is try to make themselves less dependent on the system. ‘Facts and logic’ no longer matter to people when their hungry and scared, the fact that Social Security is not going to pay out much longer doesnt stop anyone demanding their slice of it.
Hmn…. I am sounding pretty bleak today
People assume that the ‘cuts’ are a done deal. Apparently not. And apparently Republicans are joining in blocking it.
It is just a bit of news that may be drowned out with hysteria from the left and confirmation bias on the right.
At least we agree the ‘news’ they feed us is pathetic.
On a brighter note, dystopia will be more musical than you imagined…

Thats actually pretty cool…. Got to admit I hate cicadas and their awful hiss when they get a mast year.
This looks like the mindset that sees everything, including us, us as robots to control like kitchen appliances and machines. The cicadas harmonized nicely, but against their will and their aesthetics.
If you hate cicadas, at least be a bit compassionate and humane, and just burn off their wings with a magnifying glass instead of subjecting them to new technological Frankenstein tortures.

‘…instead of subjecting them to new technological Frankenstein tortures….’
lol, I certainly dont APPROVE of such work, but it IS interesting – hence the ‘cool’ factor. Its like when they made those fake Dire Wolves, cool but a horrible idea.
I have to disagree about Cicadas though….. my dogs harmonize like a choir when they go off, each hitting a different tone and one keeping time with a short bark rhythm…. it is certainly self organization but I find the tune less then pleasing 😉
“…as robots to control like kitchen appliances and machines…”
The fact you CAN do something does not mean that one SHOULD do it. There are plenty of reasons NOT to treat people like that, and while I’d rather that the knowledge of HOW to do so did not exist if it is known I’d rather know it then not – if only to avoid such things as best I can.
Thank God! I was worried for a minute that you wrote a whole paragraph without disagreeing about something. Something about cicadas and dogs. That’s an apples and oranges thing. The dogs vocalize by their own will and aesthetic. The cicada thing is like someone attaching electrodes to your leg or mouth and making it twitch involuntarily in time to an alien tune. But it was money well spent, at least compared to some of the DOGE revelations and BLM.
Hankey
“…Thank God! I was worried for a minute that you wrote a whole paragraph without disagreeing about something…..”
Impossible 🙂
But on cicadas I was talking about when they pop up in a plague and naturally make that horrible hissing sound. We’re probably due another mast of them soon, IIRC they do that prime numbers of years, so its harder for their predators to sync their own mass breeding cycle to the feast
The phrase, mast season, was new to me. I got the general idea now. Here, in Dallas the pecan harvest is very obvious. One year they are verry abundant, some years no nuts to be found. Luckily, in my neighborhood there are perennial nuts, who still are rooting for Biden and even Beto.
Surely when you say mast, you don’t mean that it is simultaneous for all species, and all locales?
