War on Truth
By Jim Quinn
October 31, 2023
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized.
Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons… who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” – Edward Bernays – Propaganda (1928) pp. 9–10
“Axis of Evil” seems to be interchangeable, based upon who the Deep State needs to be the enemy at any given time. Bush junior first coined the phrase in his January 29, 2002 State of the Union speech when describing Iran, Iraq and North Korea. Of course, we know his Deep State handlers then falsified claims of 9/11 involvement and WMDs, to take out Sadaam and steal his oil. The barely cogent doddering old fool senator McConnell this week declared Russia, China and Iran as the new “Axis of Evil”. You notice Iran is still in the club, but they now consider two nuclear armed superpowers to be evil and enemies. Kim Jong Un must be so disappointed at being kicked out of the club.
I always thought the quote above, attributed to Orwell, was really from Ron Paul. Either way, we are most certainly living in an empire of lies, where the war on truth is relentless and never ending. As the quote from Bernays reveals, the war on truth has been consciously waged for at least a century, and probably for centuries, as the invisible government of men behind the curtain manipulate the minds of the masses with propaganda, lies, disinformation, and misinformation, in order to control and profit from the false narratives they spin. The UN, WHO, and WEF truly are the real “Axis of Evil” in our world today.
They are the front organizations for a globalist cabal of billionaires, bankers, and their armies of psychopathic bureaucrats, corrupt politicians, media mouthpieces, satanic pedophiles, and blood thirsty generals intent on blowing up the world. All three diabolical organizations are focused on implementing their overlords’ Great Reset agenda of depopulation, central bank digital currencies, social credit scores for the plebs, 15 minute city gulags, living in 300 square foot pods, forced transition to an all EV society, confiscation of firearms to insure their control, making the peasants eat bugs while they dine on Filet Mignon and lobster, and convincing you you’re happy owning nothing while they own everything.
There have been a lot of wars in the 50 years since the Deep State killed JFK in 1963. And every one has been a failure. Traditional war has accomplished nothing. Vietnam – failure. Iraq – failure. Afghanistan – failure. War on Poverty – $15 trillion of your tax dollars spent since 1965 and poverty is worse, with Democrat run urban ghetto shitholes worse than 3rd world countries. War on Drugs – over $1 trillion spent since Nixon declared war in 1971, with tens of thousands in prison and drug use at all-time highs, when taking into account Big Pharma created addictions.
War on Terror – over $8 trillion spent since 9/11, along with the implementation of a surveillance state Orwell couldn’t have conceived in his darkest nightmares, and now parents and grannies are classified as domestic terrorists. Meanwhile, real terrorists can saunter across our southern border and be transported by our government anywhere they choose. War on Covid – at least $6 trillion directly with your tax dollars, but trillions more in the destruction of businesses, jobs, and lives. And of course the proliferation of wars on CO2, fossil fuels, farmers, meat, white people, biology regarding gender, the Constitution, and common sense, continue unabated, as they all contribute to the Great Reset agenda.
The War on Truth is relentlessly fought by our ruling class and their co-conspirator minions in the regime media and Silicon Valley tyrant social media propagandists. Orwell and Bernays were contemporaries, but had entirely divergent viewpoints regarding truth. Orwell saw authoritarian governments suppressing truth as an existential evil.
Bernays was so annoyed by the Nazis giving his propaganda book a bad name, he changed the narrative and started calling it public relations. He was enthusiastically in favor of an invisible government of men manipulating the masses into thinking whatever they want them to think by obscuring the truth and employing psychological techniques to mold the beliefs of the unsuspecting masses.
Bernays‘ techniques have been taken to a new level with the advent of technology in the 21st Century. The ability to lie, misinform, fake, and shroud the truth has never been easier, especially after decades of government indoctrination in public schools designed to dumb down the masses, make them obey authority, feel rather than think, and never question the approved establishment narrative. Never has this been more true than with government reported economic statistics. If you want to see how fake the government statistics are, just go to John Williams’ site Shadowstats to get the truth.
This past week, the regime media was ecstatic about the 4.9% 3rd quarter GDP report and Biden was so excited he was drooling and shitting his pants while taking credit for our stupendous economy. What they fail to mention is government spending is a major component of the GDP calculation, and your friendly government drones added $1.1 trillion to the national debt in the 3rd quarter to artificially boost GDP. In addition, they used an inflation rate of 3.0% in their calculation. Without the artificial government borrowing and spending, and using the real inflation rate of 8% to 10% you are experiencing in the real world, and the real GDP is really -5% or worse.
The most laughable of all the fake government statistics is the reported unemployment rate of 3.8%. Only a proud Woman’s Studies graduate who has been jabbed eight times, still wears a mask alone in their Prius, and has an I Support Ukraine and I Support Israel flag in their social media profile, could possibly believe that drivel. There are 267 million working age Americans, with 162 million employed. Of course, 26 million of those jobs are part-time and another 4 million people are working multiple jobs. So, 40% of the working age population are not working. Only 50% have a full-time job. The government just pretends 100 million working age people choose not to be employed. So they don’t count.
The economy is so good, those people not in the labor force have decided to camp out permanently in homeless encampments across the nation. Shadowstats calculates the true unemployment rate at 25%. Do you think 3.8% or 25% is closer to the truth? Anyone with an IQ above room temperature realizes Bidenomics has been disastrous for the average American and is reflected in Biden’s approval ratings and consumer expectations about the future being the lowest since Great Financial Crisis in 2012. Wall Street cheered retail sales reportedly up 0.7% in September, when critical thinking people realize they are up due to inflation. Real retail sales are negative.
They need to keep you believing all is well until they decide to pull it, when they believe it is in their best interest to do so. They will position themselves to benefit from a financial collapse. They will continue to push their climate emergency tripe, even though the facts unquestionably support the opposite of what their narrative spews relentlessly. Facts don’t matter to the Great Reset disciples. But facts don’t cease to exist.
“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” ― Aldous Huxley

The climate narrative is solely designed to increase your taxes, reduce your freedom, and enrich the globalist cabal who believe they can manipulate you into doing whatever they tell you to do. Truth has no part in their agenda. The only way to defeat these psychopaths is to keep hammering away with truth, despite the hate, censorship, and canceling thrown our way.
“The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.” – George Orwell
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” – George Orwell
Society is lost in a blizzard of lies. They lied about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election. They lied while impeaching Trump twice. They lied about the “armed” insurrection on January 6 where no one was armed. They continue to lie while weaponizing the judicial system against Trump. They lied about George Floyd and BLM. They lied about the origins and risks of Covid. They lied about the safety and effectiveness of their “vaccines”. They continue to lie about the deaths caused by this toxic concoction. They lie about Putin’s motivations. They lie about the Ukraine war. They are lying about the Israel – Hamas conflict. They are going to lie us into World War 3, unless we stop them by courageously speaking the truth, no matter the consequences.
Their war on truth will fail, just as all their other self serving wars have failed. We will get no truth from the regime or their globalist overlords. It is up to average Americans to speak the truth, listen to and comprehend the truth, and become the truth which will be the only chance to stop this madness. I do believe the existing social order of psychopaths in suits will be swept away during the denouement of this once in a lifetime crisis. Before they are defeated and vanquished there will be much bloodshed, pain, and sacrifice necessary to achieve victory. We can change the earth, by holding tight to the truth. It is time to become heroes.
“There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.” – George Orwell
“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world…would do this, it would change the earth.” ― William Faulkner

Globalism in Decline
Grand larceny by any other name...
Jeff Einstein
Oct 30, 2023
Globalism is nothing new. We recognized it as the League of Nations at the Paris Peace Conference directly after World War I. And of course the League of Nations became the United Nations directly after World War II. Seems the exact same folks who get us into these wars are always the exact same folks who negotiate the peace. Makes me wonder what kind of peace organization will follow World War III to ensure World War IV.
Not new includes the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. Not new includes the W.H.O., established as a specialized agency of the U.N. in 1948. The World Bank and the International Money Fund both date back to 1944. Again, not new. Some global institutions — NGOs and corporations like the International Red Cross, the International Olympic Committee, Reuters, and the Associated Press — date back to the 19th century and before.
So no, nothing new about globalism. What’s new is the populist illusion that it’s on the rise — or so one of my readers kindly reminded me the other day in the comments section of my latest essay, A DeepMind is a Terrible Thing to Waste. He’s right: globalism isn’t on the rise. Totalitarianism and fascism are on the rise, and — as a result — populism is on the rise. But globalism — brought to us by the same folks who brought us World War I, the League of Nations, World War II, the United Nations, the war in Ukraine and countless wars in the Middle East — has been in decline since the turn of the 21st century.
Evidence of globalism’s decline is found in the commensurate broad decline in the quality of life across the Western democracies since the early 21st century. The decline in the quality of life reflects the chaotic decay of global institutions, private and public alike.
Of course, to a man with a hammer toe every problem looks like a hammer toenail. So once we identify elitist globalism as the villain (and there’s plenty of evidence to suggest it is), every subsequent headline exists only to confirm it. And nowadays we simply see, consume, and endure a lot more headlines than we did back in the quainter days of the 20th century, back when we still sat down with our morning newspaper and a quiet cup of coffee to check out yesterday’s news — just one of the meaningful rituals we abandoned like a burned out battle tank on the side of the road.
What we witnessed in the early 21st century was the rise of digital scale to manage the decay — what I call The Grand Larceny Phase — of massive global institutions, and the concurrent rise of state-sponsored default addiction to cushion the impact for the rest of us. Both phenomena had been in the works for decades. Fortunately for the global elite, both matured — perhaps not so coincidentally — at the same time.
The rise of digital scale — and the comprehensive institutionalization of our lives that rode shotgun with it — was required by the elite forces of globalism to manage the decline and consolidate for themselves the requisite power and wealth to survive it en route and thrive thereafter, catch as catch can on the way down. In essence, the power and global reach of digital scale provides our elite masters with the ways and means to steal everything that isn’t nailed down as they pillage and loot our homes, our children, our money, our freedom, and our dreams. Needless to say, they don’t call what they do grand larceny. Rather, they call themselves and their acolytes social justice warriors in the ongoing battle to secure truth, justice, freedom, and democracy — at least for themselves.
With digital scale came the unmanageable complexity of massive systems pushed to extreme, a phenomenon codified as one of media ecologist Marshall McLuhan’s Four Laws of Media: the Law of Reverse — what happens when complex systems pushed to extreme suddenly display teleologically opposite tendencies and begin to push back. All things once progressive turned suddenly regressive and chaotic in order to manage and extract maximum profit from the collapse.
Thus the same digital media technologies of scale that promised in the late 20th century to liberate and democratize us suddenly turned against us, first with passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, handing effective ownership control of the entire legacy media ecosystem to a handful of corporate behemoths — and the Democratic Party. Then again just a few years later after 9/11 with passage of the monstrous Patriot Act and the political weaponization of the entire Department of Justice.
Likewise, the same digital tools of scale that opened Wall Street to private investors en masse in the 1990s crushed them, first with the collapse of the Dot Com bubble, then again in 2008, when trillions of dollars in the private real estate and credit markets were stolen in broad daylight in the greatest criminal heist in history.
From once progressive tools of liberation to regressive and repressive tools of a massive security/surveillance state and money mill for the rich and powerful — in a heartbeat.
No longer allowed to simply live our lives — now made impossibly complex by runaway digital scale — we were suddenly required to manage them instead. But only with the help of a global managerial class, of course: the new-and-improved version of the same elite kleptocrats that brought us the League of Nations, the United Nations, the WHO, and the WEF — only now operating at digital scale. Their consumer tools of choice at the time: social media and the smartphone.
The concurrent rise of state-sponsored default addiction was merely the flip side of the same corporatist coin, deployed with the same consumer tools of choice: social media and the smartphone. As described in The Rise of Huxwell, state-sponsored default addiction was the mandatory compliance mechanism of the global elites, the Huxleyan predecessor and counterpart to the Orwellian iron-boot enforcement mechanism that emerged in full force as state-sanctioned terror with the BLM/Antifa riots and Covid mandates of 2020 — both invoked largely to end Donald Trump’s challenge to elite hegemony and put populism of all stripes on permanent state notice. The irony, of course, is that institutional decay and corruption are the very things that manufacture populism and elect guys like Donald Trump in the first place.
The same inexorable progress/regress cycle of decline and decay that beset major corporate media franchises like Reuters, the Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, 60 Minutes, CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News in recent years is already on full display in the digital media ecosphere as the massive technomedia cartel, once the repository of all things progressive, turns against us as regressive tools of a totalitarian surveillance state and censorship regime. All of the outsized personalities that once populated the cable ranks are gone now, replaced instead by a crop of anodyne and perfectly interchangeable faces — what Hanna Arendt might have described collectively as the banality of evil. Gone, too, are the audiences.
All of the larger than life media personalities with the biggest audiences — the Joe Rogans, Russell Brands, Patrick Bet-Davids, Jordan Petersons, Michael Shellenbergers, Tucker Carlsons, Tim Pools, David Rubins, and Ben Shapiros of the media ecosphere are now online as center-right populists. Some of them started that way. Some, however, started out as social progressives and/or progressive populists (to the extent such folks still exist) but found themselves cancelled or otherwise red-pilled by fiat as corporate apostates in exile. Regardless, they all wound up as populists, all firmly ensconced in the center-right heart of civil liberties and traditional family values — precisely where blue-collar workers and immigrant cultures once built middle-class homes and communities predicated on family values of faith, family, and community. Precisely where all blue-collar workers and immigrant cultures always resolve.
But thus has it always been: those of us on the center-right build homes and communities while the more progressive among us build and dismantle empires. All well and good, of course, while the empires are expanding. Less so, however, in decline. Empires in decline are far more dangerous than those in ascent. Far more autocratic and authoritarian. Far more likely to double down on failed policy as those at the top steal whatever they can while they can for themselves. And far more progressive as the fruits of empire sour on the vine. Once the demolition begins, progressive ideology takes over and finishes the job.
Digital media and biogenetics and AI are the last-gasp technologies of a desperate elite, far too busy consolidating power and wealth on the way down to manage anything effectively en route. Ideology supplants managerial competency once the narrative disappears and all that remains is power.
Unfortunately, all of the mother technologies mentioned above are also massive vehicles of institutional power, and those institutions most empowered by them will likely require at least a generation or two to unwind as they pass through their respective Grand Larceny Phases — assuming we survive them. Hence my response for now: regressive populism focused on the restoration of meaningful ritual and local autonomy.

Information spread. The human mind is exposed to it. The rise and fall of institutions is a reflection of interest. Just like gold is the true measure of currency, thoughts are the measure of man. The currency! The greed you describe so entertainingly does not come close to the greed we exhibit from mind to mind. The digital scale is merely the funnel of transport. God gives man the value derived by the thought. A system of reward or punishment. Man turns the value of thought in monetary gain. Bereft of meaning, simply a transaction. Takes yours, and mine and sells it. Just like the liver and kidney market. All this under our noses with the piper singing its tune. Greetings Jeff.

I enjoyed your article and agree with numerous of your points. I see n even bigger picture to the state of this world. I wrote a paper that I invite you to read. Here is a brief abstract and the link. Throughout the world we are all witnessing the collapse of the current world order. No matter where one looks, there is perpetual war and unforeseen calamities. Every day more people are turning away from traditional religion, and some even turning entirely away from God. Institutions that mankind has relied on for many decades and centuries are failing in part due to the ever-increasing divisions between the elected and their insatiable desire for wealth, power, and control. Within every society, divisions between peoples are increasing at an unprecedented pace whereby major cities are becoming unliveable; many people are becoming homeless, and crime is rampant. Prejudice of all kinds is eating at the hearts of men. The increase in interest rates is used in the fight against perceived inflation, resulting in many unable to keep up with their mortgage payments and end up loosing their homes. Health care is in crisis in every country and territory. Food prices are skyrocketing throughout the world and everyday more people are going hungry. Economies are on the verge of collapse, and the gap between the rich and the poor increases every day. Governments are bringing laws which severely penalize those who do not comply with government mandates, but this does not solve problems, rather it makes the problems far worse. Science and technology which in the past has served the well-being of mankind is now being used against mankind. The entire world is in turmoil and as bad as it seems today, tomorrow will be even worse. Ultimately, many people are becoming wicked and evil, wishing evil and death upon those who do not agree with them or are perceived as wanting to harm them. Now the World Economic Forum is advocating for those who do not believe in the Climate Change Crisis should be put to death. We also observe leaders of nations threatening the use of nuclear weapons to settle their disputes with other nations rather than attempting to resolve disputes diplomatically. According to Baha’i Holy Scripture, nuclear war is inevitable. Very few understand why this is happening. Most people do not want to think about these problems

The Roots of Radicalism and the Structure of Evil
By Edward Curtin
October 31, 2023
My title is redundant for a reason, since the root of the word radical is the Latin word, radix, meaning root. For I mean to show how the use and misuse of language, its history or etymology, and ours as etymological animals as the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gassett called us, is crucial for understanding our world, a world once again teetering on the edge of a world war that will almost inexorably turn nuclear as events are proceeding. If our language is corrupted, as it surely is, and political propaganda flourishes as a result, the correct use of our language and the meaning of words becomes an obligation of anyone who uses them – that is, everyone, especially writers.
The United States government exists to wage war. In its present form, it would crumble without it; and in its present form, it will crumble with it. Only a radical structural change will prevent this. For war-making is at the core of its budget, its raison d’être – 816.7 billion for the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act alone – a deficit-financed sum that tells only part of the story. This amount that finances the military-industrial complex and its blood money is for a country that has never been invaded, is bordered by friendly neighbors, and is oceans away from the multitude of countries its leaders attack and call our enemies. The U.S. wages wars around the world because killing is its lifeblood, its structural essence.
In writing of the misuse of language, George Orwell wrote, “It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.” So with these words Orwell slyly places us within the enigma of the chicken and the egg, a conundrum or paradox that relates to my theme in a weird way, but which I will directly ignore.
By radical I do not mean the widespread political usage as in radical-right or radical-left or radical meaning one who plays the role through dress or demeanor. I am using the word in its primary meaning – a radical is one who is rooted in the earth, which means everyone. Everyone therefore is mortal, human not a god, and comes from the earth and returns to it. Everyone is radical in this sense, although they may try to deny it. And the more one feels alive the more one senses one will die and doesn’t like the thought, therefore many tamp down their aliveness in order to reduce their fear of death. The best way to do this is to disappear into the crowd, to become a conventional person. To act as if one didn’t know that one’s political leaders were in love with death and killing and were not obedient cogs in a vast systemic killing machine. Maybe the unconscious assumption is that these “leaders” can kill death for you by killing vast numbers of people and make you feel someone has control of this thing called death.
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who stood strongly against the Vietnam War and marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., put the basic sense of radical well when he said:
Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. . . . get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.
To be radically amazed that we exist is to be equally amazed that we will die. And there’s the rub.
Yesterday I got in our car and drove away to meet a journalist friend. It was evening and my wife had previously used the car. I had just spent time following all the dreadful news about the massive slaughter by Israel of Palestinians in Gaza, including the death of more than 3,000 children whose numbers are climbing fast. Visions of those children and babies played havoc with my spirits, and I kept thinking of my own children and the love and tenderness that comes with being a parent. A musical cd that my wife had been listening to started playing. The case was on the console. It was Sacred Arias by Andrea Bocelli. He of the majestic voice was singing Silent Night. I was overwhelmed with tears by his passionate words:
Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
round yon Virgin Mother and Child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
sleep in Heavenly peace!
sleep in Heavenly peace!
I saw nights in Gaza as Israeli bombs burst and shattered everyone and everything to bits, all the holy infants, the children and adults.
I felt beside myself with grief, a U.S. citizen driving down a safe country road contemplating the savagery of my nation and its support for the Israeli government’s brutality and mass killings of Palestinians for all the world to see on screens everywhere.
I felt ashamed to live in a land where justice is a game reserved for rhetoric alone as it joins in the massacre of the innocent, as it always has, now together with the apartheid Israeli regime.
I thought of all the compromised politicians who pledge their allegiance to the killers, Biden and all his presidential predecessors, now including the aspirant Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a man with a conscience on many important issues whom I have supported in his quest for the presidency, but a man whose conscience has abandoned him when it comes to the Palestinians, as Scott Ritter has recently documented. I have privately urged Kennedy to reconsider his “unwavering, resolute, and practical” support for the Israeli government following the Gaza breakout of October 7, but to no avail. In fact, I have been trying to get him to withdraw his unconditional support for Israel since the summer when he withdrew his support for Roger Waters, marched with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach in the Israel parade in NYC, and allowed Boteach to say that Sirhan Sirah had killed his father without correcting him since he knew it was an egregious lie. My failure in this regard deeply saddens me.
I felt betrayed again – perhaps you will call me naïve – as when I was young and last put my trust in voting for a US presidential candidate in 1972. I thought I had learned to radically grasp the systematically corrupt nature of the U.S. warfare state. Now more than three weeks have passed and Bobby Kennedy has remained silent, only to ask for our prayers for the victims of the mass shooting in Maine. For the Palestinians, not a word. Although he considers the Israeli-Palestinian situation complicated, there is nothing complicated about genocide; it doesn’t necessitate long analyses and discussions with advisers. The facts of the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza are evident for all to see, if they wish. Bobby Kennedy has turned away. And I have now sadly turned away from him.
I remembered the Gospel words I heard long ago about the fulfillment of the words of the prophet Jeremiah: “A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loudly lamenting: it was Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted because they were no more.” But this time it is not the Jewish Rachel, for Herod has assumed the name Netanyahu and his U.S. allies, and the weeping ones are Palestinian mothers and fathers. Nothing can justify such slaughter, not the terrible killings of innocent Israelis on October 7 that I denounce; not the fear that the birth of messengers of peace might strike into Herod/Netanyahu’s heart – nothing! Seventy-five years of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians continues apace. The Jewish child Jesus, the radical preacher of love and peace for all people, didn’t die on a private cross, nor do the Palestinians. So it goes.
I thought of the indescribable sweet wonder of holding your baby in your arms while realizing how many Palestinian parents have been holding their dead children in theirs. Rage welled up in me at the obscenity of those who support this and those who shut their eyes to it and those who remain silent.
I realized that as a Christian I am baptized into the human family, not some special in-group, which is the opposite of Jesus’s message. Every child is holy and innocent and to massacre them is evil. And to remain silent as it happens is to be complicit in evil.
Yes, to be radical is to be rooted in the earth and to realize all people are part of the human family, each of us made of flesh and blood and therefore sisters and brothers deserving of justice, peace, and dignity. But this is just a first step in the grasping of the full dimension of the radical vision. It can end in fluff if a second step is not taken: to use our freedom to uproot ourselves from the conventional government and mass media propaganda and mind control that clouds our understanding of how the world works. This takes study and work and an understanding of the historical and systemic roots of all the alleged “unprovoked” violence that ravages our world.
Thus the existential and socio-historical merge in the radical vision that allows us to grasp the structures of evil and our personal responsibility.
Today that obligation is clear: To oppose the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians.
Otherwise we are guilty bystanders.
War, Famine, Financial Collapse | Every Engineered Crisis Is A Cover Story For A Larger Globalist Crime Or Power Grab
By Mike Adams
October 31, 2023
Every crisis currently being engineered is designed to cover up a larger crime or power grab being committed against humanity by the globalist elite.
It takes many years of experience of studying and exposing globalist deception in order to see this pattern. The really "big picture" analysts who see this clear as day include Alex Jones, Steve Quayle, David Icke, Paul Craig Roberts and myself, among others. Each of us has been covering this for 20+ years. In that time, we've seen the same playbook repeated again and again: Engineered crisis -> Emotional manipulation -> Reaction -> Globalist end goal. (Often simplified as "Problem-Reaction-Solution" or Hegelian Dialectic.)
9/11 was an engineered event. It was designed to manipulate the American people into supporting a "war on terror," which unleashed the surveillance state that has been (illegally) deployed against the American people to this day. 9/11, much like Oct. 7 (Israel) was a planned stand down event to achieve a heinous act of terrorism against our own nation so that the government and military could justify onerous actions they wanted to take all along.
The Oklahoma City bombing was another such event. Note that a daycare center in the targeted building produced stories of "blown up babies," which echoes exactly what we're hearing today regarding Israel and Hamas. Any time babies are mentioned, you should strongly suspect emotional manipulation and falsely engineered of events. (The current fiction being pushed by pro-Israeli sources is that Hamas cooked an Israeli baby in an oven. This is supposed to provoke outrage among the very same Americans and Israelis who openly condone butchering babies in the womb, by the way, in case you were keeping track.)
The end goal of Oklahoma City was to achieve nationwide gun confiscation. This came shortly after the Assault Weapons Ban was passed by Congress and signed into law in 1994. That law expired in 2004. AR-15 sales have exploded ever since, and now anyone arguing that citizens don't need firearms to defend themselves is rightly seen as an oblivious idiot... especially after Oct. 7th.
Today, The Powers That Be (TPTB) need a financial collapse to obscure their decades-long financial crimes of printing currency, looting the American people's bank accounts (and pensions) and manipulating financial markets to keep themselves enriched while the working masses remain enslaved in a cycle of poverty. If not for all the currency counterfeiting operations, most Americans would be quite well off, being able to reap the rewards of their own labor, without the burden of inflation tied around their necks. But if a financial collapse can be blamed on Russia (or China, or Iran), then the criminals who carried out this mass theft can point their fingers at a scapegoat and get away with the entire thing. A nation of consumers who can't do basic math will be none the wiser.
Covering up the vaccine death jabs and invoking domestic terrorism to position your government as your savior
Similarly, these same power hungry globalist-run elitists need a military draft (and large war casualties) to cover up their vaccine jab deaths. There's nothing like war to obscure the shocking number of young Americans who are dropping dead from injected bioweapons. That's why war in the Middle East is a certainty: The globalist elite need a mass casualty event to obscure the vaccine bioweapons fatalities so that sharp statisticians (like Ed Dowd and his partners) can't find any more signals in all the (death) noise.
As we have repeatedly covered with war correspondent Michael Yon, the wide open borders across the Southern USA are meant to allow radicalized Middle Eastern terrorists to smuggle weapons and soldiers into the United States. By provoking rage among all those who follow Islam (by carrying out genocidal mass bombings of civilians in Gaza), western leaders have calculated they will set off terrorism attacks against domestic U.S. targets such as infrastructure and civilians. This, in turn, provides the pretext for Biden to both declare martial law and even potentially cancel the 2024 elections. The more fanatic the bombings, the more power the government takes "for your protection."
These are just a few examples of how engineered crisis events are used to obscure crimes and seize power. Peace is the enemy of all this, which is why anyone calling for peace right now is labeled either a Putin stooge or an anti-Semite. Peace can never be allowed to intervene in the goals of the globalist elite who plan to exterminate humanity (global depopulation). But to achieve that, they need total control, disarmament of the civilian populations, destruction of the Bill of Rights, control over all online speech and sufficient social support as they commit genocide against humanity.
Everything you are seeing unfold right now is engineered to achieve those goals. That's why the IDF was ordered to stand down on October 7th, for example. It's why George Soros is funding pro-Palestine college groups to chant radical anti-Israel slogans in order to invoke a free speech crackdown by conservatives such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. This is a playbook that's being run against humanity, with easily predictable results since human neurology is easily controlled by governments, media and the invocation of hatred. This is exactly why fictional stories like "Hamas beheaded 40 babies" had to be created and passed off as facts -- because they invoke the emotional reaction that's needed for governments to justify genocide against humanity as a whole.
Remember: What they are doing to Gaza right now is just the opening chapter. The entire human population is next in line...
Every engineered crisis is launched to cover up a crime or a power grab to be used against humanity
Here's a summary of the most notable crisis events being engineered right now as cover stories for larger crimes carried out by the globalist elite:
- FINANCIAL COLLAPSE covers up the government's financial crimes and explains away mass poverty by blaming America's enemies for waging "currency wars." It also provides a convenient narrative for governments rolling out Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) while eliminating most mid-level retail banks, concentrating financial power in the hands of a few globalist banks like Wells Fargo, JP Morgan and Bank of America.
- A MILITARY DRAFT covers up skyrocketing vaccine deaths among America's youth, blaming their deaths on war (with Islam, most likely). It also covers up the deaths of vaccinated active duty military personnel.
- DOMESTIC TERRORISM (from radical Islamic border crossers) justifies calls for domestic martial law that enables government to attempt nationwide gun confiscation while claiming to be "protecting" the citizens. Watch carefully how upcoming acts of sabotage, terrorism and mass death in the continental United States will be carried out with whatever weapons the administration wants to ban: AR-15s, "ghost guns," arm braced AR pistols, high-capacity magazines, etc.
- MARTIAL LAW, meanwhile, halts elections and ends any real political reckoning for the same Democrat regime that rigged 2020 and plunged America into inflation, war and despair. That's why Biden regime officials operate without any sense of accountability. They never plan to be held accountable for anything. Real power means never having to rely on the will of the voters to approve of anything you're doing. These efforts are aided by the spineless GOP that still won't demand paper ballots... and who therefore will be clobbered again if there is an election in 2024. (Republicans can only play the role of losers, not leaders, and their only real loyalty is to Israel, not America.)
- FOOD INSECURITY is spreading across America thanks to food inflation, geoengineering (weather weapons) and routine sabotage of America's food infrastructure (food production facilities, grain storage, etc.). This crisis is engineered to force people onto government food stamp programs which will of course be merged with CBDCs and vaccine compliance, so that the only people allowed to enter grocery stores and receive government-allotted food handouts will be those who take the required jabs and don't criticize Israel.
- MASS HOMELESSNESS of the American people is being engineered through spiking home mortgage rates and unaffordable rent. Millions of Americans will lose their homes (which will be taken over by Blackrock and various banks) to live in tent cities that are already being set up in Chicago, NYC and other locations to house illegal immigrants. In a shocking "trading places" event, the illegal migrants will be gifted the homes previously occupied by Americans, thanks to various government grant programs that are already favoring migrants over U.S. veterans, for example, with generous handouts and free housing. In effect, the tent cities of migrants will be swapped out with destitute Americans, while the migrants live in the homes that Americans can no longer afford. Millions of Americans will end up living in tent cities, entirely dependent on government handouts of food and (limited) shelter.
- GEOENGINEERING / WEATHER WEAPONIZATION is used to destroy cities (Acapulco, for example) and obliterate crops and water supplies, ultimately forcing large masses of people into 15-minute cities where they are monitored, controlled and killed off via vaccines and violence. Through weather weaponization, a "global Holodomor" is being unleashed against humanity, making it increasingly difficult for anyone to achieve food self-reliance and thereby resist total control efforts of the globalists. Two outstanding sources on this subject include Dane Wigington (GeoengineeringWatch.org) and David DuByne (Adapt 2030).
There will be no peace and no abundance because that does not serve the interests of the globalists who are working to exterminate humanity
In all this, remember that globalists are actively working to depopulate planet Earth by exterminating billions of human beings. That's why there will be no peace, no abundance and no freedom in our world until these globalists are defeated. Some people believe the "white hats" will defeat the globalists. Others think Christ will return and defeat evil, and that all good people will be "raptured" out before the total collapse gets under way. Both viewpoints are probably wildly optimistic. My guess is that the suffering has only begun and we are far from any victory against the anti-human forces that currently dominate planet Earth.
In a recent interview with Greg Hunter, cycles expert and analyst Charles Nenner said that in this war cycle, around 2 billion human beings will be killed (1/4 of the world population).
I have similarly predicted that due to engineered famine, war and financial collapse, we will see anywhere from 1 - 4 billion people killed in the next decade, mostly through starvation, violence and war.
The silver lining is that even those of us who see the globalists succeeding (so far) with their extermination plans also agree that they can't kill us all. There will be survivors, and it might be half (or more) of the current human population. The real question for you, dear reader, is whether you wish to join the survivors. Doing so requires real preparation, since the globalist elite are engineered shortages and crisis events that are designed to leave you destitute, hungry, desperate and homeless.
How to be among the billions who survive, even as billions more are exterminated
Here are the key areas where you need to prepare.
FINANCIAL SURVIVAL: Get out of the fiat currency system as much as you can. Look at gold, silver and privacy-oriented crypto (like Monero) as solutions that will likely hold value much better than fiat currencies.
FOOD SURVIVAL: Have a significant backup food supply, plus the ability to grow your own food in a sustainable way. This means understanding soils, compost, seed saving, permaculture and more.
KINETIC SURVIVAL: Own and train with firearms for self-defense. Stockpile necessary ammunition. Consider ballistic protection vests. Keep it legal.
MEDICAL SURVIVAL: Own a quality, non-electric water filter. Stockpile necessary first aid items, including topical anti-bacterial treatments such as isopropyl alcohol, povidone iodine, chlorine dioxide, etc. Safrax.com sells chlorine dioxide tablets that are dry, portable and very affordable. I would not face a pandemic without those tablets.
OFF-GRID SURVIVAL: Make sure you have backup energy sources. I own a tractor with a winco PTO generator attached. With this setup, stored diesel can be converted into electricity (diesel can be stored for many years).
COMMUNICATIONS SURVIVAL: Make sure you have backup comms gear. HAM radio operators are well equipped. Consider satellite comms such as satellite phones and Bivy sticks (satellite-based text messaging).
Above all, stay informed and be ready for what's coming, because it's clear the globalists are driving our world to war, starvation, financial collapse, terrorism and extreme dislocations. I fully expect to see American refugees fleeing collapsing Democrat-run cities, for example. Food banks will be overrun. Online ammo sales will likely be banned under martial law. Gold, silver, seeds and ammo will become common barter items at the local level, with crypto fulfilling the role of transactions at a distance. The life savings of most people (bank accounts, pensions, entitlements) will be utterly wiped out. Only those holding real assets (gold, silver, land, ammo, etc.) will survive the financial apocalypse that's being engineered.
You will see mass starvation, violence and desperation across a collapsed America. This world war has only just begun, and the evil is just getting started. That's probably why Martin Armstrong told me this cycle of collapse doesn't end until 2032.

A World Where Genocide of Civilians Is Not Only Accepted, but Cheered!
By: Gary D. Barnett
November 2, 2023
“In Gaza, some of us cannot completely die.
Every time a bomb falls, every time shrapnel hits our graves,
every time the rubble piles up on our heads,
we are awakened from our temporary death.”
~ Mosab Abu Toha, Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems from Gaza
I wish I could say that this world of genocide, democide, torture, terror, and slaughter of innocents was something new, but of course it is not. The story of mankind is one of horrible brutality, and it is never-ending. The latest atrocity is the ethnic cleansing and slaughter of innocents in Palestine, and the majority are children. This is the purposeful slaughter of Palestinians at the hands of the Zionists; this after 75 years of ruthless savagery levied against them. My comments here are in no way meant to support Hamas, or any State, government, or terrorist organization, but then that is repetitive, as all States, governments, terrorists, and those who control them, are cut from the same cloth, and are pure evil. That is the nature of all States, organized ruling governments, and criminal terrorists.
Because of the history of man, many would think that his natural state would be that of evil, and given what has occurred over thousands of years, one might be justified in accepting this conclusion, but I think it is much more complicated than it appears. On the other hand, one comment I hear consistently, at least by Americans, is that most people are basically good. I think this incorrect as well, so where does that leave us? It seems to me that the natural state of man, at least psychologically, is more sympathetic and peaceful than is evident, but the stoking of hate and division by very nefarious forces, and the purposeful instilling of great fear, has been voluntarily accepted by the majority, and this has caused constant turmoil among nation-states, leading to horrendous nationalism. Because of this intentionally structured antagonism among peoples, constant war has been the result, and this has led to a common behavior that would be best described as dual hatred. What is meant by this statement, is that governments and rulers are certainly evil, but due to the intentional instilling of nationalism, the majority supports State evil due to false ‘patriotism,’ apathy, and fear; this greatly enhanced by the collectivist nature of nationalism.
We live in a ‘modern’ world where the bulk of populations, if given the opportunity to do so, will more than not, choose non-aggression, but they are willing to turn their heads in the face of brutality, war, and carnage instead of facing the truth. Human nature is fickle, and a spectacle of inverted logic. When one is confronted with a death of friend or family, there may be a cry of agony. When a small group of innocents is mercilessly slaughtered by horrendous means, torment may occur. But when thousands or millions are murdered by States and their armies, a heavy fog of indifference takes over the psyche, and a cloak of silence spreads, covering the crowd. One might say that this is just a protective mechanism, but in reality, by remaining silent, it is an acceptance of evil, which is in and of itself, evil. Until this is understood, evil will reside not only in those who perpetrate this terror, but also in those who stay silent and support or condone it.
First and foremost, there is no real war between Israel and Palestine, there is only war against Palestine. There is no war against Hamas, at least not in any conventional sense, because Hamas was created, built, funded, and supported by the Zionist Israeli government and Mossad, with the assistance of the U.S. government and the CIA. This is also true of groups like ISIS and al Qaeda. The Palestinian people have no military, no navy, no tanks, no rockets, and no arms. They are virtually helpless civilians, mostly children, locked inside a completely walled concentration camp, that is heavily guarded by the Israeli military and Mossad. They are relegated to throwing rocks at Israel’s world class military that consists of advanced weaponry that qualifies as the third most powerful military in the world. This is a slaughter and genocide of these people for political, geopolitical, and monetary purposes, and is nothing more than intentional, unbridled, and inhuman wrath against a persecuted population.
What is so confusing is that this torturous brutality, land and property confiscation, mutilation, starvation, and humiliation by Zionists against Palestinians, has gone on relentlessly for the past 75 years under the guise of a false claiming of a long-inhabited territory; all in the bogus name of defense of a forced Zionist State. But in the bright light of truth and honesty, this has been only offensive and unrestrained aggression. Zionism is not Judaism, it is a tyrannical political cult bent on power, control, and the elimination of Palestine in favor of a singular ‘Jewish’ State.. Zionism is colonialism, pure and simple, a political/nationalist movement, formed and plotted for the purpose of taking over lands of the peoples in that region, and by any means necessary. This plot was decades in the making, with deals solidified with Nazi Germany, the U.K., and the U.S. According to Jewish historian, Ilan Pappe, “Zionist leaders were well aware that implementing their project would necessitate the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinian population.”
This is a very deep and complicated subject matter, and this short essay is obviously not meant to be an historical accounting of Zionism, but it is vitally important to understand the background of this heinous movement that is not what it has always been falsely portrayed to be. There is no innocence in Zionism, as would be true of any brutal and violent nationalist movement.
The bottom line is this: We are witnessing the unrelenting genocide of a people at the hands of the world powers. It is being sold as a defensive effort due to aggressive terrorism by Hamas, an Israeli created organization, used as a patsy, whether accepted or not by the casual observer, to allow for the long-planned and final elimination of all Palestinians from their homelands. But it is so much deeper than this implies. The West, especially the United States government, the CIA, the U.S. military, and the entire U.S. military industrial complex, among many other Fascist corporate partners, are in full support of this genocide. What this means, is that the U.S. population, the masses if you will, are complicit as well in this inhumane, immoral, and brutally evil plot to slaughter and murder an entire people. They are after all, at least a majority, condoning it through taking sides, and allowing the funding of this murderous rampage with their own tax dollars stolen by the government they support.
Geopolitically, this becomes a springboard for regional or world conflict, all for the purpose of continuing the drive toward a one world government; a secret global governing cabal, which has the one goal of attaining total power and control of all populations. Depending on the agendas sought, the involvement of powers due to this plot, could include Russia, China, Iran, the entire Middle East, the U.S., the U.K., and all of NATO. One can just imagine the carnage possible in the future due to what is deceptively claimed to be a struggle between only Israel and undefended Palestine. It is anything but that, but by framing this as a localized regional conflict, the masses of plebiscites will take sides, thus allowing the rulers and their enforcement monsters, to assume a much larger aggression, and one that will affect everyone on earth.
How can any accept this horror? How can any not speak against it, and refuse to support any factions and nation-states, instead of embracing the plight of all innocent victims, regardless of sides? Condemn all who harm the innocent. Condemn the governments and rulers, and their murderous armies, who stoke and perpetuate this violent assault on civilians. People have the ability to live together in harmony, but governments have no ability to live in peace, because the only mission of ‘authority’ is to attain power and control by any means necessary in its rule based only on the dominance of others. Reclaim the higher ground as individuals, and completely eliminate and destroy all forms of government and rule, as war is their health, fear, violence, and killing are their tools, and elimination of dissent is their only means of survival.
“We will expel the Arabs and take their place. In each attack, a decisive blow should be struck resulting in the destruction of homes and the expulsion of the population.”
David Ben-Gurion: Zionist and first Prime Minister of Israel–Letters to his son, 1937

The global majority is shocked by the hypocrisy of the West in the Israel-Palestine conflict
By Valdai Club Programme Director Timofey Bordachev
November 2, 2023
We in Russia are very fond of appealing to such a concept as the “global majority” – these are countries of the world that link their development to the main trends of globalization, but are capable of expressing their own views on fair forms of international order. Up to now, this notion has been expressed rather discreetly, which is explained by our common participation in a system of relations in which Western countries not only played a leading role, but were also able, until a certain point, to come up with relatively optimal solutions for everyone. Recent events, however – especially the crisis in the Middle East – may open a new chapter in the perception of US and Western European policies by most of the world’s countries and create new conditions that will make a return to the previous world order impossible.
Israel’s confrontational policy does not directly threaten Russia, the US or China – the great powers of the modern world – and they will not be crossing swords over the future of the Middle East region after the events of this autumn. But it would be short-sighted to underestimate the damaging impact of certain features of the West’s chosen position on the credibility of the US and its allies in the eyes of the global community. This means that the conditions under which the international order of the future will emerge are becoming more complex. Let us try to summarize how the countries of the global majority, especially the Islamic part of it, might assess the actions of our American adversaries, their allies in Europe and, most importantly, the consequences of all this for international politics.
As a result of recent discussions with colleagues from the majority countries, it can be said that the most succinct characterization of US behavior is a simple statement: The West is destroying its own previous achievements. The arguments for this assessment go something like this: In recent days, a wave of demonstrations in support of the Palestinians besieged in Gaza has swept the world. While Western leaders have repeated, like a mantra, boilerplate statements of full support and willingness to go to any length for Israel, their own citizens, not to mention the populations of Muslim countries, have protested against a unilateral violent solution to the conflict. These peaceful and so far few actions can reasonably be seen as harbingers of more complex processes that are emerging in the face of the short-sighted policies of the White House and its supporters in Europe.
The most important thing that worries our colleagues in the majority countries of the world is that several narratives that had virtually disappeared in previous years are back on the agenda: The US and the Christian countries of the Old World are primarily responsible for the suffering of Muslims and their destruction in wars and conflicts; they also provoke confrontations that lead to economic crises, hunger, and unemployment in developing countries.
The emergence of such a perception of the West is a complete reversal of the enormous diplomatic efforts made in recent years to strengthen its moral authority. Never mind comments from the likes of EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell about “gardens” and “jungles.”
No one denies that the US and Western Europe have done much to develop the global market economy. But now, as we can see from the assessments we have heard, they themselves are ruining their own achievements. A large part of the world’s population has become convinced of the boundless cynicism and duplicity of the political elites that the vaunted liberal democratic system has placed at the pinnacle of power. Concerned about the current electoral situation and how it will affect their own career ambitions, the present masters of fate don’t hesitate to throw away the enormous achievements of the past years in building trust in international relations and balancing interests at the global level.
Few people now remember how much work has been invested by American and Western European diplomats, governments, and public organizations in supporting various social development programs in Muslim countries, establishing inter-religious tolerance, protecting human rights and promoting other values of the civilized world. The result of the uncomplicated political maneuvering of recent weeks has been, at the very least, an increase in terrorist threats, as confirmed by the numerous warnings issued by the authorities of the United States and other countries to their citizens. A state of extreme polarization and sustained radicalization of citizens’ views on religious grounds promises to become the order of the day.
In the future, there is also the possibility of direct Western involvement in a military conflict in the Middle East, which risks becoming very bloody for all participants. I should note that we in Russia are much less aware of the dangers of a possible new division than those colleagues who live and work in Islamic countries, which are particularly sensitive to the challenges of religious radicalism and extremism.
Therefore, the policy of strong support for Israel by the US, and subsequently, the EU, is not only a threat to peace in the Middle East, but also a potential source of tension in a large number of states.
Another concern of the global majority is that the current tense situation in the world will no longer allow anyone to project military force with the same impunity as in the recent past, when world powers recognized each other’s “red lines” and respected their opponents. The development of the conflict in Ukraine, accompanied by the unrestrained and open pumping of arms, has ended one of the most successful chapters in human history in terms of building peaceful coexistence between former adversaries. The achievements of dozens of years of development of mechanisms for non-proliferation of arms and implementation of common controls and confidence-building measures have not only been lost, but are irrecoverable. Most countries associated the realization of their basic development goals with the international reality that emerged after the Cold War. It now seems utopian. And it is with this realization that this lost experience will be assessed in the training of new generations of diplomats and military officers.
It is with great bewilderment that leading Western media outlets around the world are reporting in a self-censoring manner, with content tightly controlled on social media sites. Countries that have been subjected to severe hardship and external criticism over freedom of expression sometimes find it hard to find decent words to speak about the standards in reporting the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. The West’s current collective policy on the international stage is increasingly undermining the once phenomenal successes of its soft power. The world of Western fashion and the film industry, which aggressively promotes non-traditional values, is now attracting less and less interest in most countries. The American Dream and Hollywood, instead of inspiring enthusiasm, now often provoke rejection and misunderstanding. The “mainstream” in Western Europe, driven by Washington, is also losing ground.
The world is seeing that, in the West itself, more and more ordinary citizens are asking how much officials across the ocean and in their own countries care about their well-being. The rise of right-wing and left-wing forces and the utter failure of centrist parties speak volumes about the growing dissent against the current state of affairs.
The success of the 20th century, gained through enormous sacrifices, exhausting competition, and long term planning, was forgotten in the two decades of the early 21st century.
Such a wasteful dissipation of its achievements in international politics is leading to the rapid bankruptcy of the West, which easily received the most advantages from the previous system.
Such a squandering of stability and its benefits is certainly unaffordable and not to the liking of the countries of the global majority. It is also unlikely that a situation – in which the West is simultaneously facing the threat of terrorism, involvement in a hot conflict in the Middle East, and geopolitical and geo-economic confrontation with a group of influential world powers – will excite the masses in Western countries.
It is high time to think about the direction in which the construction of a new world order is moving: This is the concern of the majority of the world’s countries, which don’t seek to destroy existing rules and norms, but rather want them respected as the basis of international stability. And we in Russia must take these approaches into account even more than our opponents in the West.

War on Truth
By Jim Quinn
October 31, 2023
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized.
Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons… who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” – Edward Bernays – Propaganda (1928) pp. 9–10
“Axis of Evil” seems to be interchangeable, based upon who the Deep State needs to be the enemy at any given time. Bush junior first coined the phrase in his January 29, 2002 State of the Union speech when describing Iran, Iraq and North Korea. Of course, we know his Deep State handlers then falsified claims of 9/11 involvement and WMDs, to take out Sadaam and steal his oil. The barely cogent doddering old fool senator McConnell this week declared Russia, China and Iran as the new “Axis of Evil”. You notice Iran is still in the club, but they now consider two nuclear armed superpowers to be evil and enemies. Kim Jong Un must be so disappointed at being kicked out of the club.
I always thought the quote above, attributed to Orwell, was really from Ron Paul. Either way, we are most certainly living in an empire of lies, where the war on truth is relentless and never ending. As the quote from Bernays reveals, the war on truth has been consciously waged for at least a century, and probably for centuries, as the invisible government of men behind the curtain manipulate the minds of the masses with propaganda, lies, disinformation, and misinformation, in order to control and profit from the false narratives they spin. The UN, WHO, and WEF truly are the real “Axis of Evil” in our world today.
They are the front organizations for a globalist cabal of billionaires, bankers, and their armies of psychopathic bureaucrats, corrupt politicians, media mouthpieces, satanic pedophiles, and blood thirsty generals intent on blowing up the world. All three diabolical organizations are focused on implementing their overlords’ Great Reset agenda of depopulation, central bank digital currencies, social credit scores for the plebs, 15 minute city gulags, living in 300 square foot pods, forced transition to an all EV society, confiscation of firearms to insure their control, making the peasants eat bugs while they dine on Filet Mignon and lobster, and convincing you you’re happy owning nothing while they own everything.
There have been a lot of wars in the 50 years since the Deep State killed JFK in 1963. And every one has been a failure. Traditional war has accomplished nothing. Vietnam – failure. Iraq – failure. Afghanistan – failure. War on Poverty – $15 trillion of your tax dollars spent since 1965 and poverty is worse, with Democrat run urban ghetto shitholes worse than 3rd world countries. War on Drugs – over $1 trillion spent since Nixon declared war in 1971, with tens of thousands in prison and drug use at all-time highs, when taking into account Big Pharma created addictions.
War on Terror – over $8 trillion spent since 9/11, along with the implementation of a surveillance state Orwell couldn’t have conceived in his darkest nightmares, and now parents and grannies are classified as domestic terrorists. Meanwhile, real terrorists can saunter across our southern border and be transported by our government anywhere they choose. War on Covid – at least $6 trillion directly with your tax dollars, but trillions more in the destruction of businesses, jobs, and lives. And of course the proliferation of wars on CO2, fossil fuels, farmers, meat, white people, biology regarding gender, the Constitution, and common sense, continue unabated, as they all contribute to the Great Reset agenda.
The War on Truth is relentlessly fought by our ruling class and their co-conspirator minions in the regime media and Silicon Valley tyrant social media propagandists. Orwell and Bernays were contemporaries, but had entirely divergent viewpoints regarding truth. Orwell saw authoritarian governments suppressing truth as an existential evil.
Bernays was so annoyed by the Nazis giving his propaganda book a bad name, he changed the narrative and started calling it public relations. He was enthusiastically in favor of an invisible government of men manipulating the masses into thinking whatever they want them to think by obscuring the truth and employing psychological techniques to mold the beliefs of the unsuspecting masses.
Bernays‘ techniques have been taken to a new level with the advent of technology in the 21st Century. The ability to lie, misinform, fake, and shroud the truth has never been easier, especially after decades of government indoctrination in public schools designed to dumb down the masses, make them obey authority, feel rather than think, and never question the approved establishment narrative. Never has this been more true than with government reported economic statistics. If you want to see how fake the government statistics are, just go to John Williams’ site Shadowstats to get the truth.
This past week, the regime media was ecstatic about the 4.9% 3rd quarter GDP report and Biden was so excited he was drooling and shitting his pants while taking credit for our stupendous economy. What they fail to mention is government spending is a major component of the GDP calculation, and your friendly government drones added $1.1 trillion to the national debt in the 3rd quarter to artificially boost GDP. In addition, they used an inflation rate of 3.0% in their calculation. Without the artificial government borrowing and spending, and using the real inflation rate of 8% to 10% you are experiencing in the real world, and the real GDP is really -5% or worse.
The most laughable of all the fake government statistics is the reported unemployment rate of 3.8%. Only a proud Woman’s Studies graduate who has been jabbed eight times, still wears a mask alone in their Prius, and has an I Support Ukraine and I Support Israel flag in their social media profile, could possibly believe that drivel. There are 267 million working age Americans, with 162 million employed. Of course, 26 million of those jobs are part-time and another 4 million people are working multiple jobs. So, 40% of the working age population are not working. Only 50% have a full-time job. The government just pretends 100 million working age people choose not to be employed. So they don’t count.
The economy is so good, those people not in the labor force have decided to camp out permanently in homeless encampments across the nation. Shadowstats calculates the true unemployment rate at 25%. Do you think 3.8% or 25% is closer to the truth? Anyone with an IQ above room temperature realizes Bidenomics has been disastrous for the average American and is reflected in Biden’s approval ratings and consumer expectations about the future being the lowest since Great Financial Crisis in 2012. Wall Street cheered retail sales reportedly up 0.7% in September, when critical thinking people realize they are up due to inflation. Real retail sales are negative.
They need to keep you believing all is well until they decide to pull it, when they believe it is in their best interest to do so. They will position themselves to benefit from a financial collapse. They will continue to push their climate emergency tripe, even though the facts unquestionably support the opposite of what their narrative spews relentlessly. Facts don’t matter to the Great Reset disciples. But facts don’t cease to exist.
“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” ― Aldous Huxley

The climate narrative is solely designed to increase your taxes, reduce your freedom, and enrich the globalist cabal who believe they can manipulate you into doing whatever they tell you to do. Truth has no part in their agenda. The only way to defeat these psychopaths is to keep hammering away with truth, despite the hate, censorship, and canceling thrown our way.
“The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.” – George Orwell
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” – George Orwell
Society is lost in a blizzard of lies. They lied about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election. They lied while impeaching Trump twice. They lied about the “armed” insurrection on January 6 where no one was armed. They continue to lie while weaponizing the judicial system against Trump. They lied about George Floyd and BLM. They lied about the origins and risks of Covid. They lied about the safety and effectiveness of their “vaccines”. They continue to lie about the deaths caused by this toxic concoction. They lie about Putin’s motivations. They lie about the Ukraine war. They are lying about the Israel – Hamas conflict. They are going to lie us into World War 3, unless we stop them by courageously speaking the truth, no matter the consequences.
Their war on truth will fail, just as all their other self serving wars have failed. We will get no truth from the regime or their globalist overlords. It is up to average Americans to speak the truth, listen to and comprehend the truth, and become the truth which will be the only chance to stop this madness. I do believe the existing social order of psychopaths in suits will be swept away during the denouement of this once in a lifetime crisis. Before they are defeated and vanquished there will be much bloodshed, pain, and sacrifice necessary to achieve victory. We can change the earth, by holding tight to the truth. It is time to become heroes.
“There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.” – George Orwell
“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world…would do this, it would change the earth.” ― William Faulkner

Globalism in Decline
Grand larceny by any other name...
Jeff Einstein
Oct 30, 2023
Globalism is nothing new. We recognized it as the League of Nations at the Paris Peace Conference directly after World War I. And of course the League of Nations became the United Nations directly after World War II. Seems the exact same folks who get us into these wars are always the exact same folks who negotiate the peace. Makes me wonder what kind of peace organization will follow World War III to ensure World War IV.
Not new includes the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. Not new includes the W.H.O., established as a specialized agency of the U.N. in 1948. The World Bank and the International Money Fund both date back to 1944. Again, not new. Some global institutions — NGOs and corporations like the International Red Cross, the International Olympic Committee, Reuters, and the Associated Press — date back to the 19th century and before.
So no, nothing new about globalism. What’s new is the populist illusion that it’s on the rise — or so one of my readers kindly reminded me the other day in the comments section of my latest essay, A DeepMind is a Terrible Thing to Waste. He’s right: globalism isn’t on the rise. Totalitarianism and fascism are on the rise, and — as a result — populism is on the rise. But globalism — brought to us by the same folks who brought us World War I, the League of Nations, World War II, the United Nations, the war in Ukraine and countless wars in the Middle East — has been in decline since the turn of the 21st century.
Evidence of globalism’s decline is found in the commensurate broad decline in the quality of life across the Western democracies since the early 21st century. The decline in the quality of life reflects the chaotic decay of global institutions, private and public alike.
Of course, to a man with a hammer toe every problem looks like a hammer toenail. So once we identify elitist globalism as the villain (and there’s plenty of evidence to suggest it is), every subsequent headline exists only to confirm it. And nowadays we simply see, consume, and endure a lot more headlines than we did back in the quainter days of the 20th century, back when we still sat down with our morning newspaper and a quiet cup of coffee to check out yesterday’s news — just one of the meaningful rituals we abandoned like a burned out battle tank on the side of the road.
What we witnessed in the early 21st century was the rise of digital scale to manage the decay — what I call The Grand Larceny Phase — of massive global institutions, and the concurrent rise of state-sponsored default addiction to cushion the impact for the rest of us. Both phenomena had been in the works for decades. Fortunately for the global elite, both matured — perhaps not so coincidentally — at the same time.
The rise of digital scale — and the comprehensive institutionalization of our lives that rode shotgun with it — was required by the elite forces of globalism to manage the decline and consolidate for themselves the requisite power and wealth to survive it en route and thrive thereafter, catch as catch can on the way down. In essence, the power and global reach of digital scale provides our elite masters with the ways and means to steal everything that isn’t nailed down as they pillage and loot our homes, our children, our money, our freedom, and our dreams. Needless to say, they don’t call what they do grand larceny. Rather, they call themselves and their acolytes social justice warriors in the ongoing battle to secure truth, justice, freedom, and democracy — at least for themselves.
With digital scale came the unmanageable complexity of massive systems pushed to extreme, a phenomenon codified as one of media ecologist Marshall McLuhan’s Four Laws of Media: the Law of Reverse — what happens when complex systems pushed to extreme suddenly display teleologically opposite tendencies and begin to push back. All things once progressive turned suddenly regressive and chaotic in order to manage and extract maximum profit from the collapse.
Thus the same digital media technologies of scale that promised in the late 20th century to liberate and democratize us suddenly turned against us, first with passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, handing effective ownership control of the entire legacy media ecosystem to a handful of corporate behemoths — and the Democratic Party. Then again just a few years later after 9/11 with passage of the monstrous Patriot Act and the political weaponization of the entire Department of Justice.
Likewise, the same digital tools of scale that opened Wall Street to private investors en masse in the 1990s crushed them, first with the collapse of the Dot Com bubble, then again in 2008, when trillions of dollars in the private real estate and credit markets were stolen in broad daylight in the greatest criminal heist in history.
From once progressive tools of liberation to regressive and repressive tools of a massive security/surveillance state and money mill for the rich and powerful — in a heartbeat.
No longer allowed to simply live our lives — now made impossibly complex by runaway digital scale — we were suddenly required to manage them instead. But only with the help of a global managerial class, of course: the new-and-improved version of the same elite kleptocrats that brought us the League of Nations, the United Nations, the WHO, and the WEF — only now operating at digital scale. Their consumer tools of choice at the time: social media and the smartphone.
The concurrent rise of state-sponsored default addiction was merely the flip side of the same corporatist coin, deployed with the same consumer tools of choice: social media and the smartphone. As described in The Rise of Huxwell, state-sponsored default addiction was the mandatory compliance mechanism of the global elites, the Huxleyan predecessor and counterpart to the Orwellian iron-boot enforcement mechanism that emerged in full force as state-sanctioned terror with the BLM/Antifa riots and Covid mandates of 2020 — both invoked largely to end Donald Trump’s challenge to elite hegemony and put populism of all stripes on permanent state notice. The irony, of course, is that institutional decay and corruption are the very things that manufacture populism and elect guys like Donald Trump in the first place.
The same inexorable progress/regress cycle of decline and decay that beset major corporate media franchises like Reuters, the Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, 60 Minutes, CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News in recent years is already on full display in the digital media ecosphere as the massive technomedia cartel, once the repository of all things progressive, turns against us as regressive tools of a totalitarian surveillance state and censorship regime. All of the outsized personalities that once populated the cable ranks are gone now, replaced instead by a crop of anodyne and perfectly interchangeable faces — what Hanna Arendt might have described collectively as the banality of evil. Gone, too, are the audiences.
All of the larger than life media personalities with the biggest audiences — the Joe Rogans, Russell Brands, Patrick Bet-Davids, Jordan Petersons, Michael Shellenbergers, Tucker Carlsons, Tim Pools, David Rubins, and Ben Shapiros of the media ecosphere are now online as center-right populists. Some of them started that way. Some, however, started out as social progressives and/or progressive populists (to the extent such folks still exist) but found themselves cancelled or otherwise red-pilled by fiat as corporate apostates in exile. Regardless, they all wound up as populists, all firmly ensconced in the center-right heart of civil liberties and traditional family values — precisely where blue-collar workers and immigrant cultures once built middle-class homes and communities predicated on family values of faith, family, and community. Precisely where all blue-collar workers and immigrant cultures always resolve.
But thus has it always been: those of us on the center-right build homes and communities while the more progressive among us build and dismantle empires. All well and good, of course, while the empires are expanding. Less so, however, in decline. Empires in decline are far more dangerous than those in ascent. Far more autocratic and authoritarian. Far more likely to double down on failed policy as those at the top steal whatever they can while they can for themselves. And far more progressive as the fruits of empire sour on the vine. Once the demolition begins, progressive ideology takes over and finishes the job.
Digital media and biogenetics and AI are the last-gasp technologies of a desperate elite, far too busy consolidating power and wealth on the way down to manage anything effectively en route. Ideology supplants managerial competency once the narrative disappears and all that remains is power.
Unfortunately, all of the mother technologies mentioned above are also massive vehicles of institutional power, and those institutions most empowered by them will likely require at least a generation or two to unwind as they pass through their respective Grand Larceny Phases — assuming we survive them. Hence my response for now: regressive populism focused on the restoration of meaningful ritual and local autonomy.

Information spread. The human mind is exposed to it. The rise and fall of institutions is a reflection of interest. Just like gold is the true measure of currency, thoughts are the measure of man. The currency! The greed you describe so entertainingly does not come close to the greed we exhibit from mind to mind. The digital scale is merely the funnel of transport. God gives man the value derived by the thought. A system of reward or punishment. Man turns the value of thought in monetary gain. Bereft of meaning, simply a transaction. Takes yours, and mine and sells it. Just like the liver and kidney market. All this under our noses with the piper singing its tune. Greetings Jeff.

I enjoyed your article and agree with numerous of your points. I see n even bigger picture to the state of this world. I wrote a paper that I invite you to read. Here is a brief abstract and the link. Throughout the world we are all witnessing the collapse of the current world order. No matter where one looks, there is perpetual war and unforeseen calamities. Every day more people are turning away from traditional religion, and some even turning entirely away from God. Institutions that mankind has relied on for many decades and centuries are failing in part due to the ever-increasing divisions between the elected and their insatiable desire for wealth, power, and control. Within every society, divisions between peoples are increasing at an unprecedented pace whereby major cities are becoming unliveable; many people are becoming homeless, and crime is rampant. Prejudice of all kinds is eating at the hearts of men. The increase in interest rates is used in the fight against perceived inflation, resulting in many unable to keep up with their mortgage payments and end up loosing their homes. Health care is in crisis in every country and territory. Food prices are skyrocketing throughout the world and everyday more people are going hungry. Economies are on the verge of collapse, and the gap between the rich and the poor increases every day. Governments are bringing laws which severely penalize those who do not comply with government mandates, but this does not solve problems, rather it makes the problems far worse. Science and technology which in the past has served the well-being of mankind is now being used against mankind. The entire world is in turmoil and as bad as it seems today, tomorrow will be even worse. Ultimately, many people are becoming wicked and evil, wishing evil and death upon those who do not agree with them or are perceived as wanting to harm them. Now the World Economic Forum is advocating for those who do not believe in the Climate Change Crisis should be put to death. We also observe leaders of nations threatening the use of nuclear weapons to settle their disputes with other nations rather than attempting to resolve disputes diplomatically. According to Baha’i Holy Scripture, nuclear war is inevitable. Very few understand why this is happening. Most people do not want to think about these problems

The Roots of Radicalism and the Structure of Evil
By Edward Curtin
October 31, 2023
My title is redundant for a reason, since the root of the word radical is the Latin word, radix, meaning root. For I mean to show how the use and misuse of language, its history or etymology, and ours as etymological animals as the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gassett called us, is crucial for understanding our world, a world once again teetering on the edge of a world war that will almost inexorably turn nuclear as events are proceeding. If our language is corrupted, as it surely is, and political propaganda flourishes as a result, the correct use of our language and the meaning of words becomes an obligation of anyone who uses them – that is, everyone, especially writers.
The United States government exists to wage war. In its present form, it would crumble without it; and in its present form, it will crumble with it. Only a radical structural change will prevent this. For war-making is at the core of its budget, its raison d’être – 816.7 billion for the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act alone – a deficit-financed sum that tells only part of the story. This amount that finances the military-industrial complex and its blood money is for a country that has never been invaded, is bordered by friendly neighbors, and is oceans away from the multitude of countries its leaders attack and call our enemies. The U.S. wages wars around the world because killing is its lifeblood, its structural essence.
In writing of the misuse of language, George Orwell wrote, “It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.” So with these words Orwell slyly places us within the enigma of the chicken and the egg, a conundrum or paradox that relates to my theme in a weird way, but which I will directly ignore.
By radical I do not mean the widespread political usage as in radical-right or radical-left or radical meaning one who plays the role through dress or demeanor. I am using the word in its primary meaning – a radical is one who is rooted in the earth, which means everyone. Everyone therefore is mortal, human not a god, and comes from the earth and returns to it. Everyone is radical in this sense, although they may try to deny it. And the more one feels alive the more one senses one will die and doesn’t like the thought, therefore many tamp down their aliveness in order to reduce their fear of death. The best way to do this is to disappear into the crowd, to become a conventional person. To act as if one didn’t know that one’s political leaders were in love with death and killing and were not obedient cogs in a vast systemic killing machine. Maybe the unconscious assumption is that these “leaders” can kill death for you by killing vast numbers of people and make you feel someone has control of this thing called death.
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who stood strongly against the Vietnam War and marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., put the basic sense of radical well when he said:
Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. . . . get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.
To be radically amazed that we exist is to be equally amazed that we will die. And there’s the rub.
Yesterday I got in our car and drove away to meet a journalist friend. It was evening and my wife had previously used the car. I had just spent time following all the dreadful news about the massive slaughter by Israel of Palestinians in Gaza, including the death of more than 3,000 children whose numbers are climbing fast. Visions of those children and babies played havoc with my spirits, and I kept thinking of my own children and the love and tenderness that comes with being a parent. A musical cd that my wife had been listening to started playing. The case was on the console. It was Sacred Arias by Andrea Bocelli. He of the majestic voice was singing Silent Night. I was overwhelmed with tears by his passionate words:
Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
round yon Virgin Mother and Child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
sleep in Heavenly peace!
sleep in Heavenly peace!
I saw nights in Gaza as Israeli bombs burst and shattered everyone and everything to bits, all the holy infants, the children and adults.
I felt beside myself with grief, a U.S. citizen driving down a safe country road contemplating the savagery of my nation and its support for the Israeli government’s brutality and mass killings of Palestinians for all the world to see on screens everywhere.
I felt ashamed to live in a land where justice is a game reserved for rhetoric alone as it joins in the massacre of the innocent, as it always has, now together with the apartheid Israeli regime.
I thought of all the compromised politicians who pledge their allegiance to the killers, Biden and all his presidential predecessors, now including the aspirant Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a man with a conscience on many important issues whom I have supported in his quest for the presidency, but a man whose conscience has abandoned him when it comes to the Palestinians, as Scott Ritter has recently documented. I have privately urged Kennedy to reconsider his “unwavering, resolute, and practical” support for the Israeli government following the Gaza breakout of October 7, but to no avail. In fact, I have been trying to get him to withdraw his unconditional support for Israel since the summer when he withdrew his support for Roger Waters, marched with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach in the Israel parade in NYC, and allowed Boteach to say that Sirhan Sirah had killed his father without correcting him since he knew it was an egregious lie. My failure in this regard deeply saddens me.
I felt betrayed again – perhaps you will call me naïve – as when I was young and last put my trust in voting for a US presidential candidate in 1972. I thought I had learned to radically grasp the systematically corrupt nature of the U.S. warfare state. Now more than three weeks have passed and Bobby Kennedy has remained silent, only to ask for our prayers for the victims of the mass shooting in Maine. For the Palestinians, not a word. Although he considers the Israeli-Palestinian situation complicated, there is nothing complicated about genocide; it doesn’t necessitate long analyses and discussions with advisers. The facts of the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza are evident for all to see, if they wish. Bobby Kennedy has turned away. And I have now sadly turned away from him.
I remembered the Gospel words I heard long ago about the fulfillment of the words of the prophet Jeremiah: “A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loudly lamenting: it was Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted because they were no more.” But this time it is not the Jewish Rachel, for Herod has assumed the name Netanyahu and his U.S. allies, and the weeping ones are Palestinian mothers and fathers. Nothing can justify such slaughter, not the terrible killings of innocent Israelis on October 7 that I denounce; not the fear that the birth of messengers of peace might strike into Herod/Netanyahu’s heart – nothing! Seventy-five years of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians continues apace. The Jewish child Jesus, the radical preacher of love and peace for all people, didn’t die on a private cross, nor do the Palestinians. So it goes.
I thought of the indescribable sweet wonder of holding your baby in your arms while realizing how many Palestinian parents have been holding their dead children in theirs. Rage welled up in me at the obscenity of those who support this and those who shut their eyes to it and those who remain silent.
I realized that as a Christian I am baptized into the human family, not some special in-group, which is the opposite of Jesus’s message. Every child is holy and innocent and to massacre them is evil. And to remain silent as it happens is to be complicit in evil.
Yes, to be radical is to be rooted in the earth and to realize all people are part of the human family, each of us made of flesh and blood and therefore sisters and brothers deserving of justice, peace, and dignity. But this is just a first step in the grasping of the full dimension of the radical vision. It can end in fluff if a second step is not taken: to use our freedom to uproot ourselves from the conventional government and mass media propaganda and mind control that clouds our understanding of how the world works. This takes study and work and an understanding of the historical and systemic roots of all the alleged “unprovoked” violence that ravages our world.
Thus the existential and socio-historical merge in the radical vision that allows us to grasp the structures of evil and our personal responsibility.
Today that obligation is clear: To oppose the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians.
Otherwise we are guilty bystanders.
War, Famine, Financial Collapse | Every Engineered Crisis Is A Cover Story For A Larger Globalist Crime Or Power Grab
By Mike Adams
October 31, 2023
Every crisis currently being engineered is designed to cover up a larger crime or power grab being committed against humanity by the globalist elite.
It takes many years of experience of studying and exposing globalist deception in order to see this pattern. The really "big picture" analysts who see this clear as day include Alex Jones, Steve Quayle, David Icke, Paul Craig Roberts and myself, among others. Each of us has been covering this for 20+ years. In that time, we've seen the same playbook repeated again and again: Engineered crisis -> Emotional manipulation -> Reaction -> Globalist end goal. (Often simplified as "Problem-Reaction-Solution" or Hegelian Dialectic.)
9/11 was an engineered event. It was designed to manipulate the American people into supporting a "war on terror," which unleashed the surveillance state that has been (illegally) deployed against the American people to this day. 9/11, much like Oct. 7 (Israel) was a planned stand down event to achieve a heinous act of terrorism against our own nation so that the government and military could justify onerous actions they wanted to take all along.
The Oklahoma City bombing was another such event. Note that a daycare center in the targeted building produced stories of "blown up babies," which echoes exactly what we're hearing today regarding Israel and Hamas. Any time babies are mentioned, you should strongly suspect emotional manipulation and falsely engineered of events. (The current fiction being pushed by pro-Israeli sources is that Hamas cooked an Israeli baby in an oven. This is supposed to provoke outrage among the very same Americans and Israelis who openly condone butchering babies in the womb, by the way, in case you were keeping track.)
The end goal of Oklahoma City was to achieve nationwide gun confiscation. This came shortly after the Assault Weapons Ban was passed by Congress and signed into law in 1994. That law expired in 2004. AR-15 sales have exploded ever since, and now anyone arguing that citizens don't need firearms to defend themselves is rightly seen as an oblivious idiot... especially after Oct. 7th.
Today, The Powers That Be (TPTB) need a financial collapse to obscure their decades-long financial crimes of printing currency, looting the American people's bank accounts (and pensions) and manipulating financial markets to keep themselves enriched while the working masses remain enslaved in a cycle of poverty. If not for all the currency counterfeiting operations, most Americans would be quite well off, being able to reap the rewards of their own labor, without the burden of inflation tied around their necks. But if a financial collapse can be blamed on Russia (or China, or Iran), then the criminals who carried out this mass theft can point their fingers at a scapegoat and get away with the entire thing. A nation of consumers who can't do basic math will be none the wiser.
Covering up the vaccine death jabs and invoking domestic terrorism to position your government as your savior
Similarly, these same power hungry globalist-run elitists need a military draft (and large war casualties) to cover up their vaccine jab deaths. There's nothing like war to obscure the shocking number of young Americans who are dropping dead from injected bioweapons. That's why war in the Middle East is a certainty: The globalist elite need a mass casualty event to obscure the vaccine bioweapons fatalities so that sharp statisticians (like Ed Dowd and his partners) can't find any more signals in all the (death) noise.
As we have repeatedly covered with war correspondent Michael Yon, the wide open borders across the Southern USA are meant to allow radicalized Middle Eastern terrorists to smuggle weapons and soldiers into the United States. By provoking rage among all those who follow Islam (by carrying out genocidal mass bombings of civilians in Gaza), western leaders have calculated they will set off terrorism attacks against domestic U.S. targets such as infrastructure and civilians. This, in turn, provides the pretext for Biden to both declare martial law and even potentially cancel the 2024 elections. The more fanatic the bombings, the more power the government takes "for your protection."
These are just a few examples of how engineered crisis events are used to obscure crimes and seize power. Peace is the enemy of all this, which is why anyone calling for peace right now is labeled either a Putin stooge or an anti-Semite. Peace can never be allowed to intervene in the goals of the globalist elite who plan to exterminate humanity (global depopulation). But to achieve that, they need total control, disarmament of the civilian populations, destruction of the Bill of Rights, control over all online speech and sufficient social support as they commit genocide against humanity.
Everything you are seeing unfold right now is engineered to achieve those goals. That's why the IDF was ordered to stand down on October 7th, for example. It's why George Soros is funding pro-Palestine college groups to chant radical anti-Israel slogans in order to invoke a free speech crackdown by conservatives such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. This is a playbook that's being run against humanity, with easily predictable results since human neurology is easily controlled by governments, media and the invocation of hatred. This is exactly why fictional stories like "Hamas beheaded 40 babies" had to be created and passed off as facts -- because they invoke the emotional reaction that's needed for governments to justify genocide against humanity as a whole.
Remember: What they are doing to Gaza right now is just the opening chapter. The entire human population is next in line...
Every engineered crisis is launched to cover up a crime or a power grab to be used against humanity
Here's a summary of the most notable crisis events being engineered right now as cover stories for larger crimes carried out by the globalist elite:
- FINANCIAL COLLAPSE covers up the government's financial crimes and explains away mass poverty by blaming America's enemies for waging "currency wars." It also provides a convenient narrative for governments rolling out Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) while eliminating most mid-level retail banks, concentrating financial power in the hands of a few globalist banks like Wells Fargo, JP Morgan and Bank of America.
- A MILITARY DRAFT covers up skyrocketing vaccine deaths among America's youth, blaming their deaths on war (with Islam, most likely). It also covers up the deaths of vaccinated active duty military personnel.
- DOMESTIC TERRORISM (from radical Islamic border crossers) justifies calls for domestic martial law that enables government to attempt nationwide gun confiscation while claiming to be "protecting" the citizens. Watch carefully how upcoming acts of sabotage, terrorism and mass death in the continental United States will be carried out with whatever weapons the administration wants to ban: AR-15s, "ghost guns," arm braced AR pistols, high-capacity magazines, etc.
- MARTIAL LAW, meanwhile, halts elections and ends any real political reckoning for the same Democrat regime that rigged 2020 and plunged America into inflation, war and despair. That's why Biden regime officials operate without any sense of accountability. They never plan to be held accountable for anything. Real power means never having to rely on the will of the voters to approve of anything you're doing. These efforts are aided by the spineless GOP that still won't demand paper ballots... and who therefore will be clobbered again if there is an election in 2024. (Republicans can only play the role of losers, not leaders, and their only real loyalty is to Israel, not America.)
- FOOD INSECURITY is spreading across America thanks to food inflation, geoengineering (weather weapons) and routine sabotage of America's food infrastructure (food production facilities, grain storage, etc.). This crisis is engineered to force people onto government food stamp programs which will of course be merged with CBDCs and vaccine compliance, so that the only people allowed to enter grocery stores and receive government-allotted food handouts will be those who take the required jabs and don't criticize Israel.
- MASS HOMELESSNESS of the American people is being engineered through spiking home mortgage rates and unaffordable rent. Millions of Americans will lose their homes (which will be taken over by Blackrock and various banks) to live in tent cities that are already being set up in Chicago, NYC and other locations to house illegal immigrants. In a shocking "trading places" event, the illegal migrants will be gifted the homes previously occupied by Americans, thanks to various government grant programs that are already favoring migrants over U.S. veterans, for example, with generous handouts and free housing. In effect, the tent cities of migrants will be swapped out with destitute Americans, while the migrants live in the homes that Americans can no longer afford. Millions of Americans will end up living in tent cities, entirely dependent on government handouts of food and (limited) shelter.
- GEOENGINEERING / WEATHER WEAPONIZATION is used to destroy cities (Acapulco, for example) and obliterate crops and water supplies, ultimately forcing large masses of people into 15-minute cities where they are monitored, controlled and killed off via vaccines and violence. Through weather weaponization, a "global Holodomor" is being unleashed against humanity, making it increasingly difficult for anyone to achieve food self-reliance and thereby resist total control efforts of the globalists. Two outstanding sources on this subject include Dane Wigington (GeoengineeringWatch.org) and David DuByne (Adapt 2030).
There will be no peace and no abundance because that does not serve the interests of the globalists who are working to exterminate humanity
In all this, remember that globalists are actively working to depopulate planet Earth by exterminating billions of human beings. That's why there will be no peace, no abundance and no freedom in our world until these globalists are defeated. Some people believe the "white hats" will defeat the globalists. Others think Christ will return and defeat evil, and that all good people will be "raptured" out before the total collapse gets under way. Both viewpoints are probably wildly optimistic. My guess is that the suffering has only begun and we are far from any victory against the anti-human forces that currently dominate planet Earth.
In a recent interview with Greg Hunter, cycles expert and analyst Charles Nenner said that in this war cycle, around 2 billion human beings will be killed (1/4 of the world population).
I have similarly predicted that due to engineered famine, war and financial collapse, we will see anywhere from 1 - 4 billion people killed in the next decade, mostly through starvation, violence and war.
The silver lining is that even those of us who see the globalists succeeding (so far) with their extermination plans also agree that they can't kill us all. There will be survivors, and it might be half (or more) of the current human population. The real question for you, dear reader, is whether you wish to join the survivors. Doing so requires real preparation, since the globalist elite are engineered shortages and crisis events that are designed to leave you destitute, hungry, desperate and homeless.
How to be among the billions who survive, even as billions more are exterminated
Here are the key areas where you need to prepare.
FINANCIAL SURVIVAL: Get out of the fiat currency system as much as you can. Look at gold, silver and privacy-oriented crypto (like Monero) as solutions that will likely hold value much better than fiat currencies.
FOOD SURVIVAL: Have a significant backup food supply, plus the ability to grow your own food in a sustainable way. This means understanding soils, compost, seed saving, permaculture and more.
KINETIC SURVIVAL: Own and train with firearms for self-defense. Stockpile necessary ammunition. Consider ballistic protection vests. Keep it legal.
MEDICAL SURVIVAL: Own a quality, non-electric water filter. Stockpile necessary first aid items, including topical anti-bacterial treatments such as isopropyl alcohol, povidone iodine, chlorine dioxide, etc. Safrax.com sells chlorine dioxide tablets that are dry, portable and very affordable. I would not face a pandemic without those tablets.
OFF-GRID SURVIVAL: Make sure you have backup energy sources. I own a tractor with a winco PTO generator attached. With this setup, stored diesel can be converted into electricity (diesel can be stored for many years).
COMMUNICATIONS SURVIVAL: Make sure you have backup comms gear. HAM radio operators are well equipped. Consider satellite comms such as satellite phones and Bivy sticks (satellite-based text messaging).
Above all, stay informed and be ready for what's coming, because it's clear the globalists are driving our world to war, starvation, financial collapse, terrorism and extreme dislocations. I fully expect to see American refugees fleeing collapsing Democrat-run cities, for example. Food banks will be overrun. Online ammo sales will likely be banned under martial law. Gold, silver, seeds and ammo will become common barter items at the local level, with crypto fulfilling the role of transactions at a distance. The life savings of most people (bank accounts, pensions, entitlements) will be utterly wiped out. Only those holding real assets (gold, silver, land, ammo, etc.) will survive the financial apocalypse that's being engineered.
You will see mass starvation, violence and desperation across a collapsed America. This world war has only just begun, and the evil is just getting started. That's probably why Martin Armstrong told me this cycle of collapse doesn't end until 2032.

A World Where Genocide of Civilians Is Not Only Accepted, but Cheered!
By: Gary D. Barnett
November 2, 2023
“In Gaza, some of us cannot completely die.
Every time a bomb falls, every time shrapnel hits our graves,
every time the rubble piles up on our heads,
we are awakened from our temporary death.”
~ Mosab Abu Toha, Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems from Gaza
I wish I could say that this world of genocide, democide, torture, terror, and slaughter of innocents was something new, but of course it is not. The story of mankind is one of horrible brutality, and it is never-ending. The latest atrocity is the ethnic cleansing and slaughter of innocents in Palestine, and the majority are children. This is the purposeful slaughter of Palestinians at the hands of the Zionists; this after 75 years of ruthless savagery levied against them. My comments here are in no way meant to support Hamas, or any State, government, or terrorist organization, but then that is repetitive, as all States, governments, terrorists, and those who control them, are cut from the same cloth, and are pure evil. That is the nature of all States, organized ruling governments, and criminal terrorists.
Because of the history of man, many would think that his natural state would be that of evil, and given what has occurred over thousands of years, one might be justified in accepting this conclusion, but I think it is much more complicated than it appears. On the other hand, one comment I hear consistently, at least by Americans, is that most people are basically good. I think this incorrect as well, so where does that leave us? It seems to me that the natural state of man, at least psychologically, is more sympathetic and peaceful than is evident, but the stoking of hate and division by very nefarious forces, and the purposeful instilling of great fear, has been voluntarily accepted by the majority, and this has caused constant turmoil among nation-states, leading to horrendous nationalism. Because of this intentionally structured antagonism among peoples, constant war has been the result, and this has led to a common behavior that would be best described as dual hatred. What is meant by this statement, is that governments and rulers are certainly evil, but due to the intentional instilling of nationalism, the majority supports State evil due to false ‘patriotism,’ apathy, and fear; this greatly enhanced by the collectivist nature of nationalism.
We live in a ‘modern’ world where the bulk of populations, if given the opportunity to do so, will more than not, choose non-aggression, but they are willing to turn their heads in the face of brutality, war, and carnage instead of facing the truth. Human nature is fickle, and a spectacle of inverted logic. When one is confronted with a death of friend or family, there may be a cry of agony. When a small group of innocents is mercilessly slaughtered by horrendous means, torment may occur. But when thousands or millions are murdered by States and their armies, a heavy fog of indifference takes over the psyche, and a cloak of silence spreads, covering the crowd. One might say that this is just a protective mechanism, but in reality, by remaining silent, it is an acceptance of evil, which is in and of itself, evil. Until this is understood, evil will reside not only in those who perpetrate this terror, but also in those who stay silent and support or condone it.
First and foremost, there is no real war between Israel and Palestine, there is only war against Palestine. There is no war against Hamas, at least not in any conventional sense, because Hamas was created, built, funded, and supported by the Zionist Israeli government and Mossad, with the assistance of the U.S. government and the CIA. This is also true of groups like ISIS and al Qaeda. The Palestinian people have no military, no navy, no tanks, no rockets, and no arms. They are virtually helpless civilians, mostly children, locked inside a completely walled concentration camp, that is heavily guarded by the Israeli military and Mossad. They are relegated to throwing rocks at Israel’s world class military that consists of advanced weaponry that qualifies as the third most powerful military in the world. This is a slaughter and genocide of these people for political, geopolitical, and monetary purposes, and is nothing more than intentional, unbridled, and inhuman wrath against a persecuted population.
What is so confusing is that this torturous brutality, land and property confiscation, mutilation, starvation, and humiliation by Zionists against Palestinians, has gone on relentlessly for the past 75 years under the guise of a false claiming of a long-inhabited territory; all in the bogus name of defense of a forced Zionist State. But in the bright light of truth and honesty, this has been only offensive and unrestrained aggression. Zionism is not Judaism, it is a tyrannical political cult bent on power, control, and the elimination of Palestine in favor of a singular ‘Jewish’ State.. Zionism is colonialism, pure and simple, a political/nationalist movement, formed and plotted for the purpose of taking over lands of the peoples in that region, and by any means necessary. This plot was decades in the making, with deals solidified with Nazi Germany, the U.K., and the U.S. According to Jewish historian, Ilan Pappe, “Zionist leaders were well aware that implementing their project would necessitate the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinian population.”
This is a very deep and complicated subject matter, and this short essay is obviously not meant to be an historical accounting of Zionism, but it is vitally important to understand the background of this heinous movement that is not what it has always been falsely portrayed to be. There is no innocence in Zionism, as would be true of any brutal and violent nationalist movement.
The bottom line is this: We are witnessing the unrelenting genocide of a people at the hands of the world powers. It is being sold as a defensive effort due to aggressive terrorism by Hamas, an Israeli created organization, used as a patsy, whether accepted or not by the casual observer, to allow for the long-planned and final elimination of all Palestinians from their homelands. But it is so much deeper than this implies. The West, especially the United States government, the CIA, the U.S. military, and the entire U.S. military industrial complex, among many other Fascist corporate partners, are in full support of this genocide. What this means, is that the U.S. population, the masses if you will, are complicit as well in this inhumane, immoral, and brutally evil plot to slaughter and murder an entire people. They are after all, at least a majority, condoning it through taking sides, and allowing the funding of this murderous rampage with their own tax dollars stolen by the government they support.
Geopolitically, this becomes a springboard for regional or world conflict, all for the purpose of continuing the drive toward a one world government; a secret global governing cabal, which has the one goal of attaining total power and control of all populations. Depending on the agendas sought, the involvement of powers due to this plot, could include Russia, China, Iran, the entire Middle East, the U.S., the U.K., and all of NATO. One can just imagine the carnage possible in the future due to what is deceptively claimed to be a struggle between only Israel and undefended Palestine. It is anything but that, but by framing this as a localized regional conflict, the masses of plebiscites will take sides, thus allowing the rulers and their enforcement monsters, to assume a much larger aggression, and one that will affect everyone on earth.
How can any accept this horror? How can any not speak against it, and refuse to support any factions and nation-states, instead of embracing the plight of all innocent victims, regardless of sides? Condemn all who harm the innocent. Condemn the governments and rulers, and their murderous armies, who stoke and perpetuate this violent assault on civilians. People have the ability to live together in harmony, but governments have no ability to live in peace, because the only mission of ‘authority’ is to attain power and control by any means necessary in its rule based only on the dominance of others. Reclaim the higher ground as individuals, and completely eliminate and destroy all forms of government and rule, as war is their health, fear, violence, and killing are their tools, and elimination of dissent is their only means of survival.
“We will expel the Arabs and take their place. In each attack, a decisive blow should be struck resulting in the destruction of homes and the expulsion of the population.”

The global majority is shocked by the hypocrisy of the West in the Israel-Palestine conflict
By Valdai Club Programme Director Timofey Bordachev
November 2, 2023
We in Russia are very fond of appealing to such a concept as the “global majority” – these are countries of the world that link their development to the main trends of globalization, but are capable of expressing their own views on fair forms of international order. Up to now, this notion has been expressed rather discreetly, which is explained by our common participation in a system of relations in which Western countries not only played a leading role, but were also able, until a certain point, to come up with relatively optimal solutions for everyone. Recent events, however – especially the crisis in the Middle East – may open a new chapter in the perception of US and Western European policies by most of the world’s countries and create new conditions that will make a return to the previous world order impossible.
Israel’s confrontational policy does not directly threaten Russia, the US or China – the great powers of the modern world – and they will not be crossing swords over the future of the Middle East region after the events of this autumn. But it would be short-sighted to underestimate the damaging impact of certain features of the West’s chosen position on the credibility of the US and its allies in the eyes of the global community. This means that the conditions under which the international order of the future will emerge are becoming more complex. Let us try to summarize how the countries of the global majority, especially the Islamic part of it, might assess the actions of our American adversaries, their allies in Europe and, most importantly, the consequences of all this for international politics.
As a result of recent discussions with colleagues from the majority countries, it can be said that the most succinct characterization of US behavior is a simple statement: The West is destroying its own previous achievements. The arguments for this assessment go something like this: In recent days, a wave of demonstrations in support of the Palestinians besieged in Gaza has swept the world. While Western leaders have repeated, like a mantra, boilerplate statements of full support and willingness to go to any length for Israel, their own citizens, not to mention the populations of Muslim countries, have protested against a unilateral violent solution to the conflict. These peaceful and so far few actions can reasonably be seen as harbingers of more complex processes that are emerging in the face of the short-sighted policies of the White House and its supporters in Europe.
The most important thing that worries our colleagues in the majority countries of the world is that several narratives that had virtually disappeared in previous years are back on the agenda: The US and the Christian countries of the Old World are primarily responsible for the suffering of Muslims and their destruction in wars and conflicts; they also provoke confrontations that lead to economic crises, hunger, and unemployment in developing countries.
The emergence of such a perception of the West is a complete reversal of the enormous diplomatic efforts made in recent years to strengthen its moral authority. Never mind comments from the likes of EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell about “gardens” and “jungles.”
No one denies that the US and Western Europe have done much to develop the global market economy. But now, as we can see from the assessments we have heard, they themselves are ruining their own achievements. A large part of the world’s population has become convinced of the boundless cynicism and duplicity of the political elites that the vaunted liberal democratic system has placed at the pinnacle of power. Concerned about the current electoral situation and how it will affect their own career ambitions, the present masters of fate don’t hesitate to throw away the enormous achievements of the past years in building trust in international relations and balancing interests at the global level.
Few people now remember how much work has been invested by American and Western European diplomats, governments, and public organizations in supporting various social development programs in Muslim countries, establishing inter-religious tolerance, protecting human rights and promoting other values of the civilized world. The result of the uncomplicated political maneuvering of recent weeks has been, at the very least, an increase in terrorist threats, as confirmed by the numerous warnings issued by the authorities of the United States and other countries to their citizens. A state of extreme polarization and sustained radicalization of citizens’ views on religious grounds promises to become the order of the day.
In the future, there is also the possibility of direct Western involvement in a military conflict in the Middle East, which risks becoming very bloody for all participants. I should note that we in Russia are much less aware of the dangers of a possible new division than those colleagues who live and work in Islamic countries, which are particularly sensitive to the challenges of religious radicalism and extremism.
Therefore, the policy of strong support for Israel by the US, and subsequently, the EU, is not only a threat to peace in the Middle East, but also a potential source of tension in a large number of states.
Another concern of the global majority is that the current tense situation in the world will no longer allow anyone to project military force with the same impunity as in the recent past, when world powers recognized each other’s “red lines” and respected their opponents. The development of the conflict in Ukraine, accompanied by the unrestrained and open pumping of arms, has ended one of the most successful chapters in human history in terms of building peaceful coexistence between former adversaries. The achievements of dozens of years of development of mechanisms for non-proliferation of arms and implementation of common controls and confidence-building measures have not only been lost, but are irrecoverable. Most countries associated the realization of their basic development goals with the international reality that emerged after the Cold War. It now seems utopian. And it is with this realization that this lost experience will be assessed in the training of new generations of diplomats and military officers.
It is with great bewilderment that leading Western media outlets around the world are reporting in a self-censoring manner, with content tightly controlled on social media sites. Countries that have been subjected to severe hardship and external criticism over freedom of expression sometimes find it hard to find decent words to speak about the standards in reporting the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. The West’s current collective policy on the international stage is increasingly undermining the once phenomenal successes of its soft power. The world of Western fashion and the film industry, which aggressively promotes non-traditional values, is now attracting less and less interest in most countries. The American Dream and Hollywood, instead of inspiring enthusiasm, now often provoke rejection and misunderstanding. The “mainstream” in Western Europe, driven by Washington, is also losing ground.
The world is seeing that, in the West itself, more and more ordinary citizens are asking how much officials across the ocean and in their own countries care about their well-being. The rise of right-wing and left-wing forces and the utter failure of centrist parties speak volumes about the growing dissent against the current state of affairs.
The success of the 20th century, gained through enormous sacrifices, exhausting competition, and long term planning, was forgotten in the two decades of the early 21st century.
Such a wasteful dissipation of its achievements in international politics is leading to the rapid bankruptcy of the West, which easily received the most advantages from the previous system.
Such a squandering of stability and its benefits is certainly unaffordable and not to the liking of the countries of the global majority. It is also unlikely that a situation – in which the West is simultaneously facing the threat of terrorism, involvement in a hot conflict in the Middle East, and geopolitical and geo-economic confrontation with a group of influential world powers – will excite the masses in Western countries.
It is high time to think about the direction in which the construction of a new world order is moving: This is the concern of the majority of the world’s countries, which don’t seek to destroy existing rules and norms, but rather want them respected as the basis of international stability. And we in Russia must take these approaches into account even more than our opponents in the West.
