November Open Thread (2024)

by | Nov 3, 2024 | Articles | 27 comments

Ahhhh, November! The air is turning crisp, the beautiful fall colours are dappling the leaves and people everywhere are settling in for a beautiful winter filled with family gatherings, holiday celebrations and peace on earth.

. . . But for some reason you’re stuck in front of a device reading this on a screen right now. So, as Broc and his wife welcome their new child into the world (congratulations, Broc!) and video production at The Corbett Report slows down for a bit, feel free to discuss the latest news and information from around the world here.

So, what’s on your mind this month? Do you want to dissect the pending adoption of the WHO’s pandemic agreement? Or perhaps you want to pontificate on why the powers-that-shouldn’t-be are scrubbing the internet right now. Or engage in a pointless internet argument about the meaningless sideshow (s)election circus.

Or maybe you’d just like to share a great organic pumpkin pie recipe. Or explain your passion for soap carving. Or tell a funny joke.

Whatever you want to share with The Corbett Report community, this is the place to do it.

If you’re not a member, you can sign up today and join the conversation.

  3. Hi James,

    I have recently re-discovered the beauty of RSS and are now appreciating again the eficacy that allured me 20+ years ago.

    The approach to subscription news is, I am sure, close to your overall message and you show it by providing an RSS feed yourself.

    Platforms of today act not jus as aggregators, buyt also as suggestors of content. Much like network TV, these platforms decide which content they think should be consumed next.

    RSS on the other hand, gives you back the power to decide which content you will get next. The simple act of choosing your authors frees oneself from corporate decisions, be them staff or algorithm based.

    Algorithm-based platforms can still be useful, every now and then, to discover new authors. It is, sadly, too easy to rely solely on them for your daily feed of information.

    I would like to remind people that they can subscribe easily to content they like and consume it at their own pace. It takes a little more effor THAN just relying on an established plaform, but, I THINK, will pay back in ease of mind.

  4. Hey everyone, hope you all are having a beautiful autumn so far if you are in the northern hemisphere.

    Here in southern Ontario, we have piles of organic pumpkins for sale at farmer’s markets for next to nothing so today I am making a huge pot of pumpkin soup.

    Here are some pics:

    https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-75313919

    I am using some 1$ organic pumpkins we got from a local farm yesterday to make a big batch of pumpkin curry soup with regeneratively farmed wildrice, garden fresh Hopi Red Amaranth (seeds and leaves), Egyptian walking onion bulbs, Goji berry leaves, Stinging Nettle, homegrown turmeric rhizome, homegrown ginger rhizome and many other veggies, herbs and spices.

    I have a big 20 liter stock pot simmering away (which will have cost us no more than 8 dollars to make, a couple bucks for the pumpkins, a few for the wild rice and two for the red onions i included) and it is smelling heavenly.

    This nutrient dense soup is rich in both anthocyanin and beta carotene (making it Ocular-Protective, Radioprotective, Osteoprotective as well as innate immune system optimizing) this will be something we can enjoy through the winter and thanks to having taken advantage of seasonal abundances and cultivating many other ingredients at home we will have only paid pennies on the dollar for each nourishing bowl.

    If you still have pumpkins available at your grocery stores or farmer’s markets where you are, don’t let them go to waste! 🙂

    (i`ll add links to the health benefits of pumpkin and other specific ingredients I included in this soup below for those interested in learning more).

    and Congrats on the new family member Broc! 🙂

  5. I’d just like everyone to know I thank and applaud each one of you who decide to NOT participate in the election scam and “vote” for your favorite puppet on Tuesday! I think most of us on this board know its all a trick every 4 years to give the masses the illusion of choice and control over this nation/world. They try to convince us so hard with their politicians, business leaders, and celebrities, but we know it all to be a false ritual. An illusion.

    But just know, you do have power in your daily lives to effect positive change. The choices you make do matter and have an impact in your personal life and the lives of your friends, family, and local community.

    So get out there and DON’T VOTE! Cheers!

    Take care of yourselves everyone! You got this! Whatever struggle it may be right now in life, just remember, you got this!

  6. Suggesting to You to consider “The Power of Suggestion” – Part 1 of 2

    The Amazing Kreskin stated in a 1973 interview,
    “Using suggestion, I could never make someone do something he didn’t want to do.
    But it’s different in a crowd.
    Psychologists don’t know why, but somehow the level of morality is lowered and responsibility is lost.”

    That statement struck me…especially after different related contexts…

    James Corbett has often mentioned aspects of the related phenomena surrounding ‘suggestion’.
    EXAMPLES:
    ~~~ First Follower: Leadership Lessons from Dancing Guy: (3 min)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW8amMCVAJQ
    ~~~ The Bystander Effect
    The bystander effect describes a seeming paradox: the more people who are around to help in a given emergency, the less likely that any one individual will actually stop to help.
    https://corbettreport.com/solutionswatch-bystander/
    ~~~ Circa PLANDEMIC era (July 2020 – James Corbett on The Filter Podcast)
    QUEUED VIDEO – 25:46
    https://odysee.com/@corbettreport:0/filter-corbett:9?t=1546
    Corbett mentions that “What we believe is important” to the Powers That Should Not Be. They need to ENGINEER CONSENT. And it is easily recognized by most Anarchists/Voluntaryists that the broad public have been engineered to consent to the established system.

    –BACKSTORY and more CONTEXT–

    I think that John Malkovich is a pretty good actor who sometimes plays interesting roles. So, I watched “The Great Buck Howard.” It was an okay movie, but the ending script caught my eye. “Special thanks to The Amazing Kreskin who has entertained audiences for decades and whose career inspired the character of Buck Howard.”
    “The 2008 movie The Great Buck Howard is based on the experiences of writer-director Sean McGinly, who worked briefly as Kreskin’s road manager.”

    The Amazing Kreskin
    While I might have heard the ‘Kreskin’ name in the past, I knew very little about the person. So I had to read up on him.
    The Amazing Kreskin, (born George Joseph Kresge; January 12, 1935), also known as Kreskin, is an American mentalist who became popular on television in the 1970s… … He has always presented himself as an “entertainer,” never as a psychic, who operates on the basis of suggestion, not the paranormal or supernatural.
    From 1970 to 1975, Kreskin’s television series The Amazing World of Kreskin was broadcast throughout Canada on CTV and distributed in syndication in the United States. The series was produced in Ottawa, Ontario at the CJOH-TV studios. An additional set of episodes was produced in 1975, billed as The New Kreskin Show. He appeared on The Tonight Show 61 times from 1970 to 1980.

    • Suggesting to You to consider “The Power of Suggestion” – Part 2 of 2

      In my opinion, we have to take “The Amazing Kreskin” for what he is: a PERFORMER, a mentalist who utilizes suggestion.
      Any performer is involved in marketing themselves. Kreskin certainly does that.

      On Aug 15, 2022, at the age of 87 years old, via his YouTube Channel, The Amazing Kreskin says:
      “I’ve met many interesting people, performed over 25,000 shows, and yes, even tuned in on the thoughts in the minds of over one million, but then who’s counting.
      Now, I’m telling you what REALLY HAPPENED.
      Welcome to Kreskin’s Amazing Experiences.

      Kreskin continues:
      “My work of course deals with the mind. I perceive people’s thoughts and I influence their behavior.
      Now I want to stress something, because this could become controversial in the news in the next few weeks:
      I’m not a healer. I have never claimed to be a healer…”

      Then he describes an anecdote of how a person’s disability went away.

      ENDING NOTE:

      Any suggestions?

  7. I’ve been trying to spread this around, as I find it quite thorough and informative.
    A long read for some (49 pages) with summary, visuals, and tables included; I think it’s a valuable perspective which can be a stepping stone as we progress from oppressive statism to individualism and voluntarism.

    Well worth the read, in my humble opinion. From the great and noble, Mr G. Edward Griffin

    -side note. This is not a completed report (notes to the reader included) It was mentioned in a recent interview he had with David Knight and I found the latest rendition I could. (He hinted that this is more of an extended outline for a more comprehensive manuscript long in the works).

    • @Torus

      Thanks for the link and recommendation. I`ll take a look when I have time and see how I might be able to raise awareness via integrating excerpts or linking in my future blog posts.

      By the way, how did those wild apple seedlings do this year?

      Our elder tree had a rough year (which produced the fruit and seeds that I sent to you) with tornado warning winds ripping all the apples off before they could ripen, but our second and third year seedlings are coming along beautifully!

      I also had the wonderful opportunity to help a local group of indigenous peoples co-create a community food forest for their new community (land they fought the government to have returned to them which was being used as a for profit government park) and I donated a number of wild apple trees to them.

      Next up are pawpaw and butternut tree groves, do you guys have any of those down your way?

    • I love The Farce Feed!! My fave up to now is the post on being sued out of existence.

      • Thanks for the support!

    • @c.s.d.

      Or, I suppose (to a certain degree) the Omish also provide another alternative for avoiding the soul piercing laser of the globalized, corporate profit backed and government sanctioned surveillance grid 🙂

      Then again, given all the tens of thousands of orbital high res cameras, laser mic technologies, 3D imagining directed microwave beam systems and the prolific macro (and micro) drones in space and in the skies, perhaps even the Omish cannot escape the Orwellian all seeing eye now a days.

      Thus, I do not put much effort into maintaining the false comfort of striving for anonymity or privacy. Sure I would prefer it if there were not nasty people out there trying to harvest data on everyone and horde (and/or leverage) that data for profit or coercion but sadly we live in the world where corporations and governments put significant resources into those realms of exploitation and abuse.

      I personally chose to see the problem as an opportunity, so I choose to see the fact that I will inevitably be surveilled as a way to let the surveillance operatives do the heavy lifting for me in exposing themselves to the information I am attempting to disseminate in order to help our human family.

      That is the way I choose to turn lemons into lemonade, I know it is not perfect and if my work really steps on some nasty oligarch’s toes it may put me on a list, but I would rather live Boldy without fear, with purpose and intentionally (for a shorter amount of time) than spend (a longer amount of time) walking on egg shells, looking over my shoulder and sneaking around.

  9. FOIA’s
    The recent interview about FOIA’s prompted my attention to an interview done with you by Derrick (maybe) regarding the Massey FOIA’s to every possible government agency regarding virus isolation proofs.

    Why cannot the government find such information should it exist?

    PS Media….Mercury….Messenger…Trickster… formerly Hermes….Herm….Trans-ition zone….neither here nor there….thought, communication, intellect. Always in motion , always changing. Duality to the max. Mental Machinations. Coyote.

    Mercury was given the requested boon of being born neither male nor female
    Mercury is communication, trade, skills, and intellect. Dualistic, Flirtatious, an Air Head in Gemini. Super Adaptable.

    When grounded, in Virgo, defining, discriminating, detail oriented. Able to deal with multiple , seemingly contradictory streams
    Mercury is highly influenced by whatever it is most near to.
    I have a highly Mercurial child, who would pick up others’ accents on a dime, Mercury is a mimic. This is its Gemini/Air manifestation.

    In its earth grounding in Virgo, it can get so persnickety and anal if not tempered. It’s work of service is to apportion the harvest. Important work, which Mercury can easily take as self-importance.

    The intellect. Already fashioned by the will and embodiment, the first and second “houses” of activity, Mercury in its Air mode rules the third house. When we move through the fourth house and add the emotional knowledge of the Moon, we have Mind.
    Then you can move into the fifth house of creativity.
