Bridging the Politically-Manufactured Covid Divide with Differing Family Members and Friends at Christmas

Like so many of you, I’m a member of a “Covid-divided” family. My wife and adult children embraced the official Pharma Covaxx narrative and seemingly assigned me to the category of the mentally- confused. Like so many of you, I’ve struggled in my attempts to bridge that divide and get it right. Getting it right means figuring out how to reconcile some powerful competing pulls. On the one hand, I’m a retired futurist with a deep-seated inclination to forewarn others regarding imminent threats. I’m also a father and grandfather with an equally deep-seated protective instinct. And on the other hand, I respect the right of every adult to make his or her own medical decisions. This has double-pronged implications of course in the case of my two adult offspring who, as parents, also make decisions for four young grandchildren.

Knowing my kids or grandkids could be damaged for life or worse by the vaxx, it’s been difficult to exercise polite restraint. I told my Covid- convinced son that it’s the equivalent of expecting him to exercise restrain if his three year old daughter casually walked into a busy street to play. I’m not aware of any handbook that instructs us on how to graciously straddle this chasm. How do you simultaneously operate in a “hard” reality with real world consequences and a fuzzy fabricated illusion to the satisfaction of the latter’s captives?

In the absence of such a handbook, I’ve been improvising as I go. For the most part, my tone has been relatively calm — even matter-of- fact while my adult kids play a medical version of Russian Roulette. The two of my three children who are parents are well-educated sharing about five degrees between them. So, I initially thought they would be moved by hard evidence regarding the Scamdemic. Accordingly, in early 2021, I shared with them two heavily-referenced research papers that I had drafted on the Covid-vaxx campaign.

As the months turned into years, I concluded their was no point in hiding my outrage regarding the soulless criminality of the Scamdemic. I told the parents that my grandkids aren’t Pfizer’s guinea pigs. And to reinforce the point, I added that if either of the parents authorized any additional vaxx injections for their kids, the parents would get no consideration in my will. (I decided that when God renders his judgment on my conduct, I would rather be found as having been overly-protective versus unduly detached.) Beyond this, I said my home would be open to family displaced from theirs and repeatedly assured my kids of my love and prayers.

So far, my approach has elicited chilly, angry reactions, emotional distancing and threats to completely sever communication with
me. While things may be occurring beneath the surface, there are no visible signs of a crack in my offspring’s defenses. I’m not tormented by it; I can sleep at night. But to some degree, I still ponder my moral dilemma. The recurring question is, how do I fulfill my obligations to loved ones while respecting the right of adults to make their own decisions, particularly as it relates to our grandchildren.

Martin Geddes, a young author, former IT programmer and blogger, writes with real empathy for those caught up in the moral maelstrom. He is one of “us” having experienced Covid-related alienation and hostility from family, friends and former colleagues. And because he has a public profile as an author, his buffeting has been even more intense. Geddes has discovered the intellectual approach is ineffective when it comes to reaching those on the other side of a debate. He puts it succinctly in the title of a recent blog: “Intellectual answers don’t fix spiritual problems: Throwing facts and logic at people working from a limiting paradigm just divides us.” (I’ll return to the concept of a “limiting paradigm” later.) Geddes quotes Jacques Ellul regarding the relationship between education and propaganda and receptivity to propaganda.

Central in Ellul’s thesis, is that modern propaganda cannot work without “education”; he thus reverses the widespread notion that education is the best prophylactic against propaganda. On the contrary he says, education, or what usually goes by that word in the modern world, is the absolute prerequisite for propaganda. In fact, education is largely identical with what Ellul calls “pre-propaganda”— the conditioning of minds with vast amounts of incoherent information, already dispensed for ulterior purposes and posing as “facts” and as “education.”

Well, so much for what’s often thought of as a “good education.” It’s an issue for another day, but in my view, a good education would have majored in how to think, how to investigate reality, how to weigh critical questions and how to discern between truth and lies. It would have produced relentless seekers of enduring knowledge and wisdom. I’m not laying the entire burden at the feet of formal educational systems as I may have come up short as a parent. Ellul’s critique of education and Geddes’s insights provide additional perspective on the persuasion challenge.

Geddes concludes:
“If we seek to persuade others that they may have bought into popular lies, then it has to come from a humble spiritual place, and not an intellectually overpowering one.

So what might it mean to “come from a humble spiritual place”? The following self-prescriptions come to mind.

Engage at a human level, and let the facts follow: During my career days, I sometimes facilitated group seminars. That’s when I encountered the axiom that, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”. It’s a good reminder thatour “mandate” as truth tellers isn’t about impressing with our knowledge. So why are we sharing our understanding of Covid-vaxx realities with others? The only good reason is that we care about them at a personal level.

Admit you’ve been fooled in the past. Places could have been reversed and I could have been standing in the shoes of the person opposite. My grandmother used to say, “But for the grace of God, there go I.” The Golden Rule applies. Before I finished high school, I’d already consumed the JFK “lone shooter” government story line and the official 1969 US moon landing narrative. In the case of the latter, I had also dismissed the sole dissenting voice in my circle. When my best friend, “Hank” told me that his uncle, a retired Navy man, told him the moon landing had been filmed in a studio, I didn’t pause. My smug conclusion as a teenager regarding Hank’s uncle was basically, “I guess the poor guy just can’t keep up with the rapid pace of technological progress.” Oops!

A month or so ago, I read an account of a “deathbed confession” of sorts by the father of a member of the US military. According to the son, his dad was a member of the military security staff at the airport where the moon landing was staged… in New Mexico if I recall correctly. His dad described a scene of trucks hauling tons of sand into a hanger to be used in creating an artificial moonscape. (I have a lot more respect for dissenting opinions today.)

Consider that each of us has a “limiting paradigm” or worldview that is blind to some aspects of the larger reality. We truly don’t know what we don’t know. German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer once said: “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.” Candidly, I fall into this trap on a regular basis. Thus, we often find ourselves “blind-sided” by unanticipated developments taking shape beyond our line of sight.

Acknowledge that none of us “owns” the truth. All genuine and thus enduring truth is God’s truth. If this is the case, we night view our job as that of responsible stewards or conveyers of particular knowledge or truth at particular times as a sacred trust.

Remember that all human understanding is flawed. Thus, the unspoken disclaimer is: “This information is subject to change.” As
we have seen, this also applies to some aspects of our understanding of the Scamdemic deception. So, it means dealing graciously with each other as we work through the haze.

Recognize that Covid Scamdemic truth isn’t your ordinary
garden variety stuff. It’s explosive and for most people potentially worldview-shattering. If the persons opposite accept my version of Covid reality, they will never view complicit politicians, government authorities, the medical–pharma industry, corporate media and many of their favourite politicians business leaders and cultural influences the same again.

There will be no going back. Their world will have changed forever. Even more unnerving is the question of what moral decisions this knowledge will require of them. They may have to resign their jobs and risk loss of financial independence, valued relationships and cherished lifestyles. Given that, it’s not surprising that many individuals avert their eyes and cover their ears when told the vaxx is injuring and killing millions of people. The truth is a massive disruptor.

Accept that whether someone changes their personal conviction on a matter like the Covid-Vaxx phenomenon is ultimately a spiritual matter. There’s always some mystery as to how things work in the spiritual realm. I was reminded of this by a story of how a Christmas carolling campaign at abortion facilities in the US had changed some mothers’ minds about aborting their babies. The members ofthe carolling project tell of how particular women have responded to their presence and singing by turning around and walking out of an abortion clinic. It’s described as a “change of heart” because it involves communication and connection on a spiritual frequency.

The Christmas Truce tells the story of another Christmas carol breakthrough and the bridging of differences at Christmas in WWI in 1914.

The Germans began by placing candles on their trenches and on Christmas trees, then continued the celebration by singing Christmas carols. The British responded by singing carols of their own. The two sides continued by shouting Christmas greetings to each other. Soon thereafter, there were excursions across No Man’s Land, where small gifts were exchanged, such as food, tobacco and alcohol, and souvenirs such as buttons and hats. The artillery in the region fell silent. The truce also allowed a breathing spell where recently killed soldiers could be brought back behind their lines by burial parties. Joint [religious] services were held.

I’m not one to suggest one sugar coat or compromise the truth to make it more palatable to resistant minds. And I may never fully resolve my moral dilemma regarding my competing obligations to family. But, a hard “just-the-facts” intellectual approach

to persuasion regarding Covid and the vaxx, or concerning any number of other big subjects, will likely be unproductive. Geddes’ recommendation that we come from “a humble spiritual place” is an important prerequisite. To me, that means acting on the highest of motives (love for others) and acknowledging our own humanity — to ourselves at least — before beginning the conversation. It can also mean accepting the idea that convincing others is beyond us and ultimately lies in God’s domain. That takes a load off.

At a most difficult time in our history, I pray that the members of the freedom movement will be a powerful uplifting and unifying force in a fractured world. Christmas time is as good a time as any to rise above differences and reach across divides (Covid or otherwise) in the spirit of the season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. —Peaceful Warrior

The Covaxx “test” — the gift that keeps on giving?

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes21C (c) December 8, 2022. All rights reserved

“The last two years have not been a medical emergency, but a test of critical thinking skills and the ability to discern between liars, thieves, money whores, and the forces of evil versus truth tellers and those committed to freedom, liberty, and the forces of good.”  — Jim Quinn

Jim Quinn (cited above) sees the last two (plus) years as a test of our ability to think and discern. I think of the tumultuous experience as providing us with a novel kind of litmus test — one that indicates to all the world who is complicit in globalists’ dark plans for humanity and who, in contrast, stands for truth and freedom. Ultimately, it’s probably a human challenge, a character shaper, a useful revelatory “tool” for those with the eyes to see and more. 

Readers will recall that in the July, I took them on an imaginary visit to the annual weekend conference of the fictitious World Liars Association. The conference culminated in an evening banquet where the coveted Liar of the Year award was bestowed on a deserving recipient. The award went to Justin Trudeau. His fallacious testimony at the Emergencies Act Inquiry has since confirmed his status as a smear artist and gas lighter of the most malicious kind. His deputy PM, Chrystia Freeland has demonstrated a similar talent. Their joint  “sh*t-smear of the trucker convoy as a security threat is right out of the Cabal-Deep State handbook. Mercifully, the Great Covaxx litmus test has exposed them for what they are. 

In contrast, courageous truthers shine

The Covaxx test appears to be be equally effective in revealing truth, truth tellers and authentic leadership. It appears to signal who among us possess a functional moral compass and genuine compassion for humanity. Some of those who surfaced on my radar this week aren’t well-known, and that in itself should encourage us. We can repel the darkness every time we act honourably and choose integrity, truth and transparency over criminality, lies and secrecy. And in the process we will shed some light — light that will inevitably draw those who were once entranced by the propaganda machine and have become disillusioned. Here are some folks who have been providing some of that good light. (I don’t know them personally and am relying on the accuracy of the alt media reports on their activities.)  

Nathan M. Wiley: (a former Phd. student at Western University at the Centre for study of theory and criticism.) 

I use the adjective “former” because Mr. Wiley was so outraged at the criminal conduct of the institution that he withdrew. His December 1, 2022 letter of withdrawal begins: 

“A pedagogy of shadows for muzzled students will only produce masters and doctors of superstition” 

Wiley’s letter further reads…

 “Never before have I witnessed such proud unthinking and cultlike compliance with irrational and demonstrably pseudoscientific diktats as at the Theory Centre. Without exception, every faculty member at the Theory Centre with whom I interacted during my tenure as a graduate student has expressed irrational bigotry toward those who have wisely refused mRNA injections. Without exception, they have declined to examine arguments that undermine their psychological and scholarly investments in the myth of a “deadly pandemic,” final salvation from which, they piously if not zealously believe, can only be accomplished through the continuous and indiscriminate – and if need be, coercive – injection of much of the human population…”  

….Without exception, Theory Centre faculty have refused to engage in critical questioning, analysis, and discussion concerning Western University’s segregationist policies and murderous mRNA injection mandates…”

Wiley concludes:

“There is nothing further for me to learn from such a faculty. I have spent much of my time as a Western student informing my peer and professors of the realities behind these institutionalized superstitions. I have done so to the utmost of my ability, as my conscience has required.

I have entered a request for voluntary withdrawal from the university via the student online portal. As of today, I no longer regard myself as having any affiliation with Western University other than as an outspoke witness, from September 2021 to the present, of its Crimes against Humanity.” 

I’m giving Mr. Wiley an A+ for his stand because:

• he has applied his ability to reason and his research and analytic skills to assess the official Covid narrative and found it deficient. 

• he has acted on his values and conscience and presumably, out of concern for their health and safety, informed his colleagues and professors of his findings, despite what is likely enormous pressure. 

• he’s subordinated the “sunk costs” associated with his educational investment, the value of his Phd scholarship and any other penalties Western or other Universities may attach to his decision to act on principle. His withdrawal letter uncompromisingly tells truth to power and confirms his role as a witness to Western University’s crimes against humanity. 

In the heat of the Covid test, Mr. Wiley has revealed who he really is.

Jennifer Sey: (former Chief Marketing Officer and brand president, Levi Strauss and Co.): 

Jennifer Sey and her husband did their homework and knew that the 2020 Covid data coming out of Italy was skewed as the median age of death was over 80 years. They also knew that school lockdowns were damaging for children. So Ms. Sey pushed back against the public school closures. In September of 2020, she was warned her resistance would be considered “speaking on behalf of the company,” implying she was potentially risking reputational harm to Levi’s. (Does one’s personal life end at some point when they work for a large corporation?) 

Remarkably, it turned out that colleagues that were being critical of Sey had taken their children out of public school and enrolled them in private in-person schools. (Smelled like hypocrisy.) Yet, around the new year in 2022, Sey was told there was no longer a place for her in the executive suite. She resigned in February of 2020 after almost 23 years of service with Levis.

Sey subsequently turned down the $1million severance package offered to her. She rejected the offer because it contained a non-disclosure agreement preventing her from discussing the terms of her departure, something she found unacceptable. Sey isn’t just courageous, she’s an articulate critic of “woke” culture.

“This pose of wokeness, it’s a cloak they wrap themselves in to signal virtue … to hide greed, corruption, keeping all the good stuff for themselves,” she said.  

Well said, Ms. Sey!  https://www.sott.net/article/474961-Wokeism-is-costume-elites-wear-to-signal-virtue-and-hide-greed-corruption-Former-Levis-executive

Some others also shone in the relative darkness of the Covaxx era.

Naomi Wolf (author, entrepreneur)Wolf recently took a stand on behalf of Yale University students. In defence of their right to non-coercive vaxx -free education, she declares: “I cannot believe I’m standing outside these walls saying, ‘Don’t coerce minors and young adults into damaging their lives and submitting to an illegal injection that violates the Geneva Conventions, that violates the Nuremberg Code, that violates the Hippocratic oath, that violates basic human rights — so these kids can pick up their education.’ Don’t do it.” https://vigilantfox.substack.com/p/youre-violating-them-dr-naomi-wolf?

Gerard Rennick (Senator for Qeensland, Australia) In a 10 minute speech, Senator Rennick confronts cynical fellow Queensland senators with the number of excess deaths, and vaxx injuries, the “safe and effective” lie, the human costs and the repugnant nature of vaxx coercion. https://rumble.com/v1z1nyq-australian-liberal-senator-exposes-excess-deaths-and-vaccine-injury-coverup.html

In conclusion…

Nathan Wiley, Jennifer Sey, Naomi Wolf and Gerard Rennick are a few among a growing number of bold truthers who recently caught my attention. We might never have known of these folks or been inspired by them were it not the Covaxx conspiracy saga. They caught my attention not because of their name, education, physical appearance or politics, but because of their commitment to restore the truth in the midst of a desert of lies. And they have earned our attention because of their willingness to pay the price for their dissent. It’s true. The last two plus years haven’t been about a medical emergency at all. 

Beyond the incalculable pain they have inflicted, the criminal engineers behind the Covid conspiracy have unknowingly gifted us with something very powerful. The experience has tested our critical thinking, discernment skills and character in what can best be described as a crucible moment. Over time, more people have developed the eyes to see the actors and minds to grasp the big picture contest. Each week it seems that more naked emperors are exposed while hidden truths are revealed. No man-made lie detector or other tech gadgetry could ever approach such effectiveness or output. As Christmas approaches, I wonder if the figurative “Covaxx test” will prove to be the proverbial gift that keeps on giving. 

Bless you Scamdemic — considering the spiritual alchemy that transmutes pain into wisdom

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes21C (c) October 23, 2022 All rights reserved

Transmute: to change something completely, especially into different and better. (Cambridge Dictionary)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-4) 

The suffering-learning paradox

My boss and I were on a work-related field trip north of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan circa spring 1984 when he abruptly steered our half ton truck to the side of the road. Dr. “J”, a 55 or so year old native of Sask and specialist in livestock predation had spotted something and it wasn’t a predator. He got out of the truck and retrieved what turned out to be a 24 or so inch length of two by four lying on the edge of the ditch.

I was a relatively recent Manitoba import to Saskatchewan in the process of learning how deeply the Great Depression, the “dirty thirties”, had impacted our neighbours to the West. It wasn’t limited to infecting Dr. J  with a “waste not, want not” conservation ethic. I realized the Depression’s hardships had silently shaped the politics of my adopted province and the psyche of a generation.

An earlier illustration of the instructive and potentially life-changing influence of suffering is that of Alexandre Solzhenitsyn, the Soviet dissident and author of The Gulag Archipelago (written between 1958 and 1968). In Solzhenitsyn’s case, imprisonment in the gulag was transformational. He wrote: 

“Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. He explained, For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul. 

Solzhenitsyn wasn’t alone in concluding pain could be a pathway to maturity. His experience echoes the opening quote from the book of James in scripture. And Greek playwright, director and composer, Aeschylus (525-456 BC) also saw suffering as a prerequisite to learning and acquisition of wisdom. 

“He who learns must suffer, and even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.” 

Solzhenitsyn gained his freedom — from prison and subsequently the bonds of his earthly life. It’s the citizens of the West who are now captive. Ironically, some individuals have even fled to Russia seeking to escape the West’s immersion in corporate fascism. And while Solzhenitsyn’s personal journey was on an upward trajectory, our society has been moving in the opposite direction. Some observers like political philosopher, Allan Bloom, issued warnings of a coming crisis back in the 80’s. (See: Closing of the American Mind: How higher education has failed democracy and impoverished the souls of today’s students, 1987). Did anyone listen?

Reaping what we have sown 

An intergenerational cause-effect explanation for cyclic societal decline was provided several hundred years ago by Arab scholar, Ibn Khaldoun, (1332–1406). It’s both good and bad news.On the one hand he asserts: Hard times make strong men. Strong men make good times. Less appealing and more descriptive of our current state is his corollary, Good times make weak men. Weak men make hard times. It’s an uncomfortable thought for Westerns who have a near sacred commitment to pursuing material prosperity. Yet, here’s Khaldoun suggesting that it’s not sustainable, inevitably giving way to moral decrepitness and decline. It seems we are reaping what we planted a generation or two earlier. 

Didn’t our Boomer generation, like the generation before, decree that our children should never have to experience the imagined hardships that ours did? (Yes, I had to endure wearing some used clothes and outdoor toilets in early youth, but beyond that I’m hard-pressed to think of what they were.) Didn’t we conclude children were too fragile to be allowed to fail a grade or lose a race and that competition was harmful? Did we really expect that a generation of over-protective helicopter parenting and indulgent coddling would have no negative side effects? Even before the Covid coup, a public school teacher expressed her concern to me that grade school kids generally lacked resiliency, something that presumably neither parents nor educators were adequately cultivating. 

Rising rates of depression and suicide among our youth suggest many are infected with a debilitating fragility. It doesn’t end with graduation from high school. Consider the infantilism of “snowflake” university students who seek security in designated “safe” spaces stocked with crayons and colouring books. Escapism appears to be a theme. Does the embrace of gender fluidity or “furries“, for example, provide relief from fears and insecurities? 

My tentative conclusion then is that our societal decline to the current state is in part the consequence of our own beliefs and doing. Our aversion to pain and hardship as adults led us to over-protect our offspring, denying them critical learning experiences. This has delayed the maturity of a generation. If Solzhenitsyn and Aesthylus are right, there are no short-cuts to wisdom or spiritual maturity for any of us. And the repository of divine wisdom isn’t hackable. Some learning, like the waste-not want-not conservation ethic of the Great Depression, despite the discomfort, must be etched on individual and collective memories. This is the hardship-to-wisdom alchemy our society has yet to embrace. But now that we’re here, what can we do? 

Turning painfully learned lessons into wisdom (and action)

I have three modest general suggestions for those who give credence to the hardship-to-wisdom alchemy of the Great Scamdemic. The first is to accept that suffering is an integral part of human existence. Dr. Jordan Peterson has been bringing this fact of life home to us for some time. 

This in turn, means we must be prepared to honestly ask ourselves what the purpose of our pain and suffering is…and face the answers. This includes the possibility that we are misguided or heading down the wrong path. Simply framing life lessons objectively in itself may require a shift in mental posture from angry resistance to reflection. The members of Vaccine Choice Canada did just this and identified 40 lessons members had learned. Paraphrased, the first five appearing on the list are:

– Governments are untrustworthy; they lie. The truth (e.g. “Safe and effective”) is typically the opposite of what they are telling us.

– A healthy society is based on a strong spiritual foundation

– The mainstream media should never be trusted

– A society of fearful people is vulnerable to corruption and manipulation.

– Too many people lack the initiative to think for themselves and investigate the facts for themselves.

Other VCC members cited: the corruption of political leaders, the prevalence of evil and its lies, the betrayal of our country by its citizens, the apostasy of the church, the importance of vigilance, the centrality of our birthright of free choice, the infantilization of society and the personal growth that’s resulted despite he hardships of the last two years. 

I encourage every individual and freedom group to engage in such an exercise. Once we are clear as to the lessons and their implications, we can consider which warrant strategic responses and what those responses might be. This could mean developing counters to pervasive propaganda, the spiritual deficit, corrupt politics, controlled media, deceived and disengaged youth, Big Pharma-colonized public health system and so forth.

Some actions will be defensive and others offensive in nature. The focus of the latter will be on creating alternatives to existing in institutional structures, business models, services and communities. Establishing home school education groups capable of graduating a generation of well-trained and equipped truth warriors, for example, would fall into this category. (And it would buttress our society against a repeat of the recent mass deception.) There’s a great deal more to be said about strategic actions in this and other categories. Suffice to say, there’s never been a more appropriate time to grow strong men and women. 

The chemists of old sought an alchemy that would turn lead into gold. Ours is a nobler and more achievable cause. We will commit to the proven alchemy of turning adversity into spiritual maturity, wisdom and judicious action. Many, (myself included) have suffered and lost a great deal over the last two years in particular. So for some it may be difficult to muster the conviction of Solzhenitsyn. But with God’s grace, we might all one day say: Bless you, Scandemic; through you I’ve gained remarkable insights into myself and my world that otherwise would have eluded me.

Savouring those uplifting breaths of fresh air

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes21C October 6, 2022 (c) All rights reserved

God knows harried resistors like you and I get weary. We have been subjected to what’s likely the most intense and lengthiest propaganda campaign and psy op in human history. A friend with a deep grasp of global politics has reminded me that we’re playing against “the pros” not the farm team. He’s right of course. The propagandists waging the information war truly are professionals with specializations in PR and perception management, behavioural psychology, linguistic programming and esoteric features of fourth generation warfare. And their infusion of the diabolical, the Luciferian twist, adds a powerful “X“ factor to their brew.

The inversion of truth and reality has immersed us in an upside down world —an Orwellian-Huxleyian surreality, and navigating its many deceptions is exhausting. The terrorizing, hypnotizing and gaslighting by the Powers-That-Be has taken a toll on all of us to some degree and likely the unsuspecting in particular. Like someone crossing a parched and sweltering desert, I welcome a watering at any oasis and a breath of fresh air. Unexpected encounters with like-minded compatriots in this desert can be just that, providing an uplift of one’s spirit like nothing else can. I’ve recently enjoyed several of these to the point that I’m almost feeling guilty.

A couple weeks ago, I had tea with a young woman who was working toward her certification as a paralegal in a TO law firm. (I will refer to her as “K”.) I carefully ventured into the realm of how the Covid campaign had divided families and communities, including mine. K identified immediately and was unapologetic regarding her rejection of the official narrative. I inquired as to where she acquired her habit of questioning. She told me her mom was insistent throughout her upbringing that her four daughters think for themselves and question everything. And that included the the Covid-vaxx pitch. Robust family debate and banter were a norm in her home life and family interactions. (another point of identification for me.)

In 2021, despite the fact that a relative, a high ranking MD in the US medical establishment called and urged her family members to hurry and get vaxxed, K’s mom had demurred. Her response was something to the effect: “Let’s just slow it down. We’re going to think this through and check it out, before making our decision”. The origin of K’s independent streak ran deeper. It seems that her mom’s learning toward free thought came in turn from her parents. At this point in our conversation, I’m sure that my “God- bless-the-rebels” grin was apparent.

My more recent breath of fresh air came in the form of an extended weekend trip to a small village in rural Ontario where free spirits were rallying together to nurture the growth of an “intentional community.” The host, along with some of her neighbourhood guests, was a committed freedom seeker. Other invited guests were exploringthe possibilities. Some guests had been callously displaced by the state-sponsored purge of employees who opt for natural immunity. Ready or not, these folks were forced to reach down deep, say goodbye to well-paying jobs and comfy urban lifestyles and venture into the unknown. A musician joined us outdoors Sunday afternoon in the sunshine. It was moving to watch a tranquil spirit of unity encompass the gathering as he played his soulful selections including Ben E. King’s Stand By Me.

My travel companion and I took up a lady who I will call “J” on her offer to put us up at her home overnight on Monday. “J” retired from her career in the health sector under vax coercion and pursued a freer, more independent lifestyle in the country. Yes, there was a matter of making do with less, and there had been frustrations with features of her home that needed attention. But she was improvising and quickly learning new skills. She had surrendered her urban life and in return, acquired her own piece of the Canadian Shield with an abundance of lakes, trees, and wildlife out her backdoor. She had become a part of this Great Outdoors and it a part of her. And her friendships and her community were more meaningful than ever before.

On the morning of our departure, I stood outside J’s home intoxicated by the fresh morning air, the sunshine and the landscape. How could I take it all in? How could I take with me the stunning panorama of red, yellow and orange-leafed deciduous trees and towering spruce and pines backdropping her home? I tried to inhale as much of the scene as I could. It was a heaven-sent moment of awe — a breath of fresh air that I couldn’t afford to squander.

The Why and How of engaging our children and youth in the current struggle

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes21C All rights reserved (c) 2022 (Nov 5-22)

One of the many advantages that I enjoyed growing up on a family farm was the experience of working side by side with my parents — my dad in particular. Granted, it was often in an apprenticing role or as lead “gopher” (“go-fer a …”) and there were times when the work seemed endless. But on other occasions, like when we were building corals, repairing fences, or hauling livestock, the father-son conversations were often engaging and in some cases, life-changing. In many respects, these conversations laid the foundation for my standing skepticism regarding the motives of the establishment. And they also shaped the lens through which I came to view the official Covid narrative 50 years later. (Thank-you, Dad)  

Very few kids growing up today have such an opportunity to work directly with their parents. And many lack the opportunity or motivation to discuss and debate the lessons of parents’ and grandparents’ life experiences. A once common means of transferring the insights or wisdom of one generation to the next may have now become a relative rarity. So, how well are day care providers, public schools, university educators and social media influencers doing the job? There’s a growing sense among Boomers that educational institutions and other key social influences have to varying degrees betrayed us, our children and our grandchildren. Rather than faithfully transfer the legacy values of Western culture to our children, these institutions have abandoned them. The idea that the current generation can reach new heights by figuratively standing on the shoulders of the previous generation is delusional.

The intergenerational disconnect 

The disconnect shows in the dismal drift of Gen Y’s and Z’s to woke politics and cultural Marxism. Many, perhaps a majority of those enthralled by leftist politics became true Covid believers and zealous promoters of lockdowns, regid compliance with unlawful government dictates and mandated toxic injections. And today many remain our critics and political oppressors. It’s ironic isn’t it? Parents and grandparents are engaged in a life and death struggle to recover cherished freedoms on behalf of a generation with an anemic commitment to them. 

Perhaps, as I suggested in last week’s commentary, well-intentioned Boomers and Gen X parents overprotected their children from unpleasant but essential truths. One of them is that democracy isn’t a spectator sport; eternal vigilance is required. Thus we’re facing the unintended consequences of our neglect. Woke universities turn out fragile, angst-ridden graduates convinced they must be protected from ideas that make them uncomfortable. Today, the intolerance of cancel culture and the insecurities of the hive mind prevail. And when the corporatocracy’s pandemic boogey man was inflated with MSM propaganda, the woke obediently lined up for their treatment. “Rugged individualism”, to the extent it ever defined Canadian ideals, has been replaced with dependent fragility and deference to (fake) authority figures.

The other facts of life 

Effective parenting requires that we wean our kids off socially-approved myths in timely fashion. There’s Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fair and the stork that deliver babies. To end the process there however, is to leave ever more debilitating myths intact. The list includes benevolent government and oligarchies, “free markets”, “ free speech”, independent mass media and, in our case, Canadian national sovereignty. Candidly, Canada is a captive nation. Postponing exposure to such hards truths (reality) isn’t an act of kindness as it actually delays spiritual, intellectual and emotional development and the acquisition of political smarts. There is a valuable offset to the loss of youthful innocence; it comes in the form of a growing understanding of the inner workings of the larger material and spiritual worlds. 

Parents tend to think of the “facts of life” in terms of sex and biology. But there’s another set of “facts of life”. This one is integral to their moral and political education and even more essential to the future health and well-being of our offspring. Yes, (son or daughter), there is Good and Evil in this world and its important to learn to discern between the two. Dark spiritual forces, masters of deception, assisted by their earthly servants seek to enslave us and destroy all that is good. Other, benevolent spiritual forces are also at work, collaborating with humans intent on bringing divine love and light to the world. Those in this camp aspire to live on a higher plane. The Creator gives us a choice. As Bob Dylan lyrically put it, “You’re gonna have to serve somebody. It might be the devil or it might be the Lord. But you’re gonna have to serve somebody.”

Why educate/engage kids and youth re the current struggle

Sure, we will want to avoid overwhelming our children with adult problems and the world’s deepest darkness and perversions. That said, the Covid Vaxx con has clearly demonstrated that perpetuating socially-approved myths and living in denial is dangerous. In fact, it can be deadly. So, let’s take a closer look at the “why” and “how” of constructively and instructively engaging our children and grandchildren in today’s struggle. I can think of six reasons for doing so.

To warn of possible dangers 

Today, it’s not just sexual “stranger danger” predators we must warn our children of an early age (luring with puppies and candy). The Covaxx Deception taught us we must also teach kids to avoid “health agency” perverts in white coats bent on injecting them with DNA-altering concoctions with promises of ice cream or trinkets.

To cultivate moral discernment 

Many in the freedom camp regard moral and spiritual discernment as the foundational element of a child’s education and development. Cultivating our children’s capacity in this regard is the equivalent of gifting the individual with a compass for navigating their life journey. Whether one falls for deceptions like the Great Scamdemic or not, can to a large degree be a matter of how well their moral compass works. The best of those compasses can turn the upside down world we now inhabit right side up.

To equip kid’s for their self-defense

Children of non-conforming parents would have quickly realized they are different because they were treated differently by those around them. To the shame of the public school system, many of these kids were blamed, ostracized, ridiculed, isolated, coerced and fed fashionable superstition and lies. This would have been painful, and depending upon their age and maturity, difficult to process. (Many adults have buckled under such pressure.) In light of this, caring parents, will be equipping their children with truthful explanations and factual information, thus shredding the official “Scare-demic”. This in turn will enable kids to process the truth, take ownership of their situation and when ready, engage in defence of their stand. They will inevitably surprise us. I’ve seen videos of nine or ten year old students challenging school boards as clearly and convincingly as any adult regarding the formers’ mask fetish. 

To counter psychological distress. Psychologists have told us that the best counter to prolonged psychological distress and its maladies is action. Again, this isn’t a spectator sport. Adults struggling to deal with Covid psy op anxiety are often best advised to roll up their sleeves and get involved in the cause of freedom. We immediately feel better about ourselves and more confidence when we begin to exercise agency over our lives. I’m sure the same is also true for our children and youth.

To counter efforts by our adversaries to recruit our children to their cause 

We should never underestimate the determination of our opponents. Covid profiteers have adopted a win-at-all-costs attitude, thus justifying their use of propaganda to win the hearts and minds of our kids and recruit them to the dark side. They have already exploited the popularity of Santa Claus, the Elmo Doll, Sesame Street characters and popular heroes in their campaign. Last week I reported on a collaboration between Marvel Comics and Pfizer designed to convince impressionable minds that the good guys are compliant vaxx recipients and promoters. 

To develop their talents and abilities and grow resilient truth warriors

The Covaxx con and globalist attempt to herd the masses into the Great Reset corral is history-making and world-changing. We can either drift passively amid these currents of change or exploit their energies to grow a generation of resilient truth warriors. 

Forward-looking educators will see grist for the education mill in the many related developments bombarding us today. Let’s use the heat of this crucible experience to draw out the interests and mould the talents of our children toward careers in re-inventing education, medicine, law, communication, governance and a plethora of other professions and institutions. 

The “how” of engagement  

While I haven’t researched it any formal sense, I sense that parents and perhaps home school educators are uncertain as to how and how much of today’s reality they dare introduce into kid’s lives. Thus they sometimes speak in whispers in the presence of their kids. While there’s clearly a need to consider a child’s stage of development and emotional and intellectual capacity, partitioning our reality at some point become counterproductive for the reasons discussed above. And when it comes to the How, creativity counts. 

1. Parental modelling. Kids instinctively imitate adults and learn by “diffusion.” Parents can silently model what being a responsible truth warrior and vigilant and caring community member means. Whether you are actively discussing such things aloud with them or not, rest assured they are observing and absorbing. Importantly, parents can be a calming force amid the craziness in this children’s lives.

2. Open family discussion and friendly debate. My parents never bought into the notion that kids in adult company should be “seen and not heard.” Consequently, some of my most important learnings occurred at the kitchen or dining table. Encourage your children to do their own research into the facts and invite their analysis. The news of the day provides lots of raw material for exploration. The development of life-long analytic and debating skills can begin at home. 

3. Participation in family activities. While there are no doubt some age considerations here, experiential learning is powerful and enduring. Confucius observed the power of participation: “Tell me and I will forget, show me and I may remember; involve me and I will understand.” 

Kids who join their parents in freedom rallies and other pro-freedom activities are learning, through participation, things that will otherwise never be fully grasped. Children contributed in a meaningful and poignant way to the “quality” and family tone of the 

Canadian truckers protest. Many of them experienced in a tangible way the encroachment on democratic freedoms and the struggle of courageous parents intent on upholding them. 

 Somewhere in my social media travels, I encountered the following example of a spontaneous family “protest” (judgment reserved). 

“We tried to take the kids to the beach in Michigan early in lockdown and they had a chain across the entrance with a sign, closed by order of the Department of Homeland Security, so we got a nice picture of the kids pissing on the sign…” 

 It may not be your style, but as the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words regarding the evils of the Department of Homeland Security. Incidentally, I recently read that responsibility for the US vaxx plan was transferred at some point to DHS. 

Not all family educational activities are protest-oriented; some are focused on replacing the old with the new and better. Our food supply comes to mind. Engaging kids in growing and preserving garden produce in the family garden presents a lot of opportunities for channeling youthful energies while growing their knowledge and skills.

4. Formal education processes (k-12, college, university)

The opportunity for youth learning and engagement will vary depending upon the educational environment. Public schools and many post- secondary institutions have been colonized by cultural Marxists (making them indoctrination centres). 

Private schools and home schooling models on the other hand, can offer myriad opportunities for learning and engagement in the truth-freedom-justice struggle. As a former educator I can imagine, in the right educational settings, the learning possibilities associated with coursework and assignments in many pertinent subject areas. I’m thinking of: Media, PR and propaganda, Citizen journalism, Democracy and dissent, Corporatocacy, Transhumanism, Awake versus woke politics, Technocracy and tyranny in the Brave New World, Promise and perils of A.I-driven Globalism, History’s top10 world-changing false flags, The injustice of social justice, and Utopian illusions.

5.  Edutainment: The worlds of youth-oriented TV, movies, magazine and book publications and electronic games are too vast to overlook. In a politicized world, much of the content falls into the “edutainment” category, a hybrid of entertainment and education. Our adversaries in the current information war are systematically exploiting this realm with their predictive programming and various other forms of “soft”  propaganda. The dark side is prepared to weaponize almost everything and anything in support of its cause.

We will either learn to exploit forms of edutainment to draw youth into our struggle or leave the field to the regime. The goal is is to inform and inspire a next generation regarding the good versus evil drama we’re living. Are we ready to seriously invest in it’s cartoonists, authors, artists, screen play writers and documentary film producers within the ranks of the freedom movement. 

The children’s book, How the Prime Minister stole freedom is illustrative of one sub category of edutainment. I’ve been inspired for a life time by the young hero featured in The Emperor’s New Clothes. Alt economist, Brandon Smith, is launching a comic book (see his ad for an artist here: https://alt-market.us/odd-request-help-wanted-looking-for-comic-book-artist/) Comedians, satirists, playwrights and musicians has been given a big canvas in the post-truth era. Many of the Baby Boomers’ favourite musicians like Bob Dylan and bands like Buffalo Springfield, and Credence Clearwater Revival rose to prominence in the anti-war protest movement of the sixties. Van Morrison and Eric Clapton kicked off musical freedom protest in the current era with their collaborations, Stand and Deliver and Where have all the rebels gone? Indeed, where are they? 

Final thoughts 

I wonder how many tragedies have arisen from unnecessary and self-imposed ignorance in the last three years. How many young children have been forced to endure the indignities of “pandemania” and yet remain ignorant of the reasons for their parents’ stand and incapable of explaining it even to themselves. How many teens, shielded from the critical truths regarding the Great Vaxx deception by well-meaning parents, have succumbed to the propaganda campaign and became enthusiastic spreaders of its lies. 

There are no guarantees as to the outcome of course, even if you do openly discuss the central issues of this era with your children. But an important audience for freedom-minded educators and parents may be right in front of them. It’s a longer term strategy, but engaging children and youth in our, and ultimately their struggle, could yield a crop of passionate defenders of our freedoms in the future. Perhaps it’s time to initiate the conversation about the other facts of life with the kid sitting across the kitchen table from you. Or, perhaps it’s time you finally wrote that kids’ book.

The journey to freedom begins with destroying the globalist’s war narratives — past and present

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes21C November 22, 2022 All rights reserved (c)

“If you can control the stories humans are telling themselves about the world, you control the humans, and you control the world.” — Caitlin Johnstone

“History repeats itself because no one bothers to learn its lessons” — Henry Makow

Our problematic remembrances of world wars

I’ve become increasingly ill at ease with our historic accounts of major wars and our official remembrances of them. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not opposed to honouring those who unselfishly sacrificed their lives for others. It’s perhaps the highest of human motivations. The spiritual significance of self-sacrifice (“No one has greater love than a person who lays down his life for his friends”) has been etched in my mind since the day I saw a movie version of Charles Dicken’s Tale of Two Cities in grade school. 

The first cause of my discomfort with our official war remembrance ceremonies is that they provide a platform for hypocritical politicians, allowing them to bask in the reflected honour the public confers upon veterans. Consider that many of these same politicos in today’s context are the ones who betrayed our country (and thus our vets) to globalist powers like the UN, WEF, WHO and the CDC. The sight of Canada’s leading traitors posing before our war memorials and presumably pledging “never again” even as they betray us and fuel new and widening wars, is nauseating. It’s duplicity in plain sight. 

And then there’s the problem of our collective conceit that we have honoured vets by remembering the harsh lessons of war. When did we ever remember the bloody lessons of war? Certainly not in the 20th century. You’d think the hard truths about war might have had some staying power coming, as they did from someone in the know. Marine Major General Smedley Butler, author of “War is a Racket” wrote in1935:

“I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I suspect I was just part of the racket all the time. Now I am sure of it.” 

The world had 4-5 years to ponder Butler’s candid confession and then, perversely, WWII commenced in September 1939. World War II battle deaths are estimated at 15,000,000 and civilian deaths at 45,000,000. And yet, I count 26 blood-letting conflicts around the world since WWII and up to the current Russia-UA conflict. In light of that kind of devastation, how does one account for the fact that in 2022, millions of Westerners enthusiastically waved the “Stand with Ukraine” flag and supported weapons shipments and/or NATO intervention. It’s a stunning indictment of both our defective intergenerational memory as a society and an equally alarming tribute to the power of war propaganda. 

Ah yes, propaganda is a persistent problem. Our world war narratives are infused with it. I seriously doubt the officially-approved mythology makes a suitable footing for world wide pursuit of peace. Does the majority of people grasp the insidious nature of propaganda? It could be the cause of our collective amnesia. Aussie journalist, Caitlin Johnstone, warns us that the global Powers-That-Be (PTB) use narratives or official stories to control the minds of the masses. Johnstone says: “If you can control the stories humans are telling themselves about the world, you control the humans, and you control the world.” And the beauty of it is, we humans think the views implanted in our heads are our own, not those seeded by our controllers. It’s clever, isn’t it?

We were taught official versions of world war stories in grade school, and they were/are regularly retold and reinforced through books, movies, mass media and community remembrances throughout adulthood. (It’s been reported that the CIA has put its stamp on more than 600 Hollywood movies) It’s strange isn’t it, how we absorb and repeat those same stories about the causes, supposed objectives, operations and outcomes of world wars to the next generation, often without questioning. And yet our dutiful repetition of official war narratives has apparently done little to stop the conflicts and staunch the bleeding. What if we stopped re-telling those second hand, implanted war stories Johnstone says are intended to control us? What if we made unearthing the truth a top priority?

Our fabricated war history is meeting the wrecking ball

Isn’t it time to stop maintaining the narrative matrix erected by the Illuminati/Cabal/PTB? How much longer do we wish to serve as our own jailers? What if we started telling ourselves the truth? Dissident journalists and writers have been hammering at the official accounts of world war history for decades. Canadian author and social critic, Henry Makow, can be counted among the dissidents. Here are a few Makow’s “missiles”: 

The bankers orchestrated World War II to destroy the great nations states of Europe and wipe out the cream of the new generation. For example, the Soviets slaughtered 15,000 Polish officers in the Katyn forest even though the Poles could have helped resist the Nazis onslaught. 

I don’t see the Second World War as “the good war.” It was fabricated to concentrate wealth and power and to degrade and demoralize humanity. Both sides were guilty of unspeakable atrocities. 

The two great wars and the potential third are designed to bring about Illuminati one-world dictatorship and mind control. Hitler was an illuminati agent mandated to lead Germany into a catastrophic defeat in order to snuff out German nationalism once and for all, and make the Rothschild NWO. World War Two was the egregious hoax in history, follow by COVID. 

“…the smoking gun that proves the Second World War was a charade (was John Ainsworth-Davis’ book, “Operation JB”, 1996)  While most Nazis were sincere, the movement was sponsored and controlled at the top by the Masonic Jewish central bank cartel in order to kill “goyim” on both sides, increase banker wealth and power, destroy Germany, and advance world government. Assimilated Jews were also sacrificed to disguise the Gentile holocaust and to create the Jewish state last HQ of the NWO.

World War Two was a monstrous Rothschild fraud on Germans, Jews and the human race. The plunder ended up in Illuminati hands.” 

More on war in general and two current wars

The above is likely enough to cause those who blithely accepted government-approved war history as factual a big headache. And it’s just a small sample. The challenges to our war mythology could fill many volumes. Disclosures past and yet to come will likely soon obliterate the establishment’s world wars narrative. In the meantime, some additional observations will contribute to a better understanding of war in general and both the Russia-UA conflict and the current citizens’ struggle against global fascism.

– Wars are not always publicly declared nor fought in the way they were in the 20th century. Many of the operations are conducted covertly, beyond the view of the public. Forth and Fifth generation warfare rely more heavily on information, information tech, cyberspace, perception- management tactics, non-state actors and mercenaries. They also expand the number of fronts on which they are fought to include finance, politics, culture and so forth and blur the distinctions between wartime and peacetime and the military and citizenry.  

– Associated with the above, conflicts are often ignited, fanned into full-blown war and sustained by contracted professional liars (PR firms) paid hundreds of millions of dollars for their propaganda “services.” These agencies typically massage lies and deception into news, seed disinformation and stage false flags to advance their campaigns for their benefactors.

– Establishment politicians are typically puppet-servants of the Globalist Powers-That-Be (PTB) and thus complicit in promoting and propagating war. I haven’t heard the head of any political party in Canada propose we even consider withdrawal from NATO, an alliance that’s been provoking Putin and training Ukraine Nazis for years. (History appears to have come full circle in that Ukraine is the home of the original Khazarian empire founded in the sixth century AD.) Unsurprisingly, Canada’s chief globalist, Chrystia Freehand, a politician with a bona fide Nazi in her family pedigree, is a hard core “Stand by Ukraine” promoter and rumoured to be a candidate to head NATO). 

– Canada’s “white knight” self-image is an embarrassing delusion. Reality check: Our country has long been regarded as the willing accomplice, happy to hold the jacket of the world’s figurative school yard bully (the American Empire) while it beats up weaker nations. Honesty is the first step toward healing and wholeness, eh Canada? As my mother used to say, confession is good for the soul. 

– From a spiritual perspective, our earthly wars may be seen as manifestations or echoes of larger historic wars fought in the spiritual realm between the forces of light and darkness (God and Lucifer). Some consider the human death toll from our wars to be a form of blood sacrifice to Lucifer.   

– The on-going globalist Great Reset war on humanity is possibly the biggest in scope of all world wars and could produce the most casualties. Our globalist adversaries are intent on destroying our identities, our families our health, our communities, our local economies, our culture and our national loyalties. After that, it would be relatively easy to herd us like compliant sheep into their Great Reset, AI-managed future if we were to remain ignorant and passive.

Exiting the narrative matrix to fight the good fight

The last three years offers some painful insights into what captivity at the hands of global fascists looks and feels like. While their Great Reset grand plan hasn’t yet reached completion, its outline is clear to those who have awakened. For resisters, our path to freedom begins with a better understanding of who we’re fighting and the methods they use to capture and control us. Henry Makow has offered some insights regarding the former. As to the latter, one of the PTB’s more subtle methods is implanting fabricated versions of past events into the culture to ensure those stories are repeated and reinforced to the point we accept them as our own. Knowing that, let’s decide to get off the PTB’s ghoulish merry-go-round of lies as it inevitably leads to division, bloody wars and devastation. 

What about you? I’m serving notice that I no longer accept the PTB’s version of history including wars past, present and projected yet to come. I refuse to recite their narratives and cheer their fake heroes. As a resister, I’m intent on exposing their propaganda regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict and their Covaxx depopulation war on humanity which continues to this day. And truth, as best I can discern it, is my preferred weapon of choice. 

This is a call to “arms” in the figurative sense. There’s no disservice to our predecessors and war veterans in our rejecting the false war narratives that hold us captive. There’s no honour in looking the other way amid a genocide. More than 100 years ago, Canadian Lieutenant Colonel and physician, John McCrea, called out to his successors, If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields. Rest in peace, sir. With God’s help and better discernment, the Resistance will keep the faith and continue the struggle until truth prevails and our liberation is a reality.

Developing decentralized value chains — the re-invention doesn’t have to start from zero

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes21C Sept 2022 (c) 

“The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” — “Socrates”, from Way of the Peaceful Warrior

In an earlier commentary, I referenced the writing of Vaclav Havel and the notion that the way to defeat the current tyranny is by creating parallel structures. The advice echoes a quote from Socrates emphasizing a focus on “building the new” versus expending all our energy on defeating the old (above). It can be an overwhelming thought, however. Many in the ranks are tired from battling the campaign of lies, coercion and intimidation that the fascist technocracy unleashed two and a half years ago.

Surveying the devastation and knowing the extent of the collapse yet to come, one is struck by the enormity of what “building the new” might mean. Where does one begin? What new business models can be envisioned in education, health care and agriculture and food production for example, that won’t simply produce more of the same a decade from now. 

The encouraging answer is we don’t necessarily have to start from scratch. The seeds of the new have already sprouted and are taking hold in more than one sector. Parent-managed home schooling arrangements of various types are operating as we speak. A member of a freedom group that I’m part of reported that a highly respected MD has shifted his practice from that of administering treatments for illness to that of a “health coach” dedicated to maintaining health. And the interview with Texas Slim (link below) reveals the progress of The Beef Initiative.

The participants have developed a decentralized beef producer-to-consumer model that addresses many of the quality concerns attached to international value chains. The role of the “micro-processor” is integral to the system. Many of us have likely observed the disappearance of small, local beef processors with some dismay, wondering where they can find replacements. I can’t tell you at this point if the Beef Initiative model (based on the US) is being replicated as such in Canada. But Canadian beef producers are very aware of what their American brethren are up to and vice versa, so they talk and swap ideas. And the need is likely going to grow as bugs and artificial meat aren’t for everyone. Also, not everyone buys into the villianizing of the beef industry as the climate change scapegoat.

In fact, I can make the case that the optimum model of beef production requires an integration of plant and animal agriculture. This was achieved on a small scale in “mixed” farms of the fifties before “sustainable ag” was part of the lexicon. (In the interests of full disclosure, I am an animal science major, but that has never prevented me from critiquing industry practices that aren’t in the best interests of consumers, cattle or the industry itself in the long term.)

This time round, the restoration of services and replacement of broken value chains demands re-invention versus repair. My career observation however, is that despite high flown management rhetoric regarding its commitment to “organization change,” given the opportunity to do something truly new and different, most tend to opt for more of the same. The reflexive habit of seeking more of the same, presumably because its familiar, is self-defeating.

Those who suggest the priority for our medical system is more money for example, haven’t been paying attention. The footings are rotten, foundational ethics have been abandoned, and the business model makes perpetual illness profitable. Realistically, it will remain predisposed to managing (or fabricating and fostering) illness as long as it is profitable. Yes, I said “fabricating and fostering” illness — just look at the Covid pandemic-vaxx fakery. It’s bullsh*t voodoo medicine worthy of B grade sci-fi horror movie treatment. How does, “Long Night of the Zombie Doctors,” sound? But I digress.

Returning to the matter of creating robust decentralized beef value chains, what can we do? It seems it’s time to turn up the Freedom Movement dialogue with independent agri-food producers. It’s time to put our money where our mouth is. Local independent producers don’t necessarily know the consumer demand we represent. Ultimately, we are allies in the war against Big Global and its bully regime. Consumers can be co-inventors with producers and the models we might borrow from or replicate are, to some degree, “out there” or emerging. Perhaps while you’re preparing dinner today, you could listen to the Mark Moss interview with Texas Slim. (link below). Beyond that, what about intentionally connecting and integrating like-minded sustainable beef producers into our communication networks? When like- minded producers and consumers talk, good things can happen.

You’re Gonna Have to Serve Somebody

“Let each of us make a choice: Whether consciously, to remain a servant of falsehood … or to shrug off the lies and become an honest man worthy of respect …” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn 

Individuals and societies with a chronic imbalance between their inventive and technological capabilities on the one hand and moral development on the other have a serious problem. The imbalance is unhealthy at best and devastating… perhaps terminal at worst. A predictable result is the leveraging of human ingenuity for evil purposes, including humanity’s enslavement. Weaponizing human talent and technologies is a big business whether its participants admit it or not. You may recall the story of an entrepreneur who received some publicity in 2020 for his work on a wearable alarm system that would sound an alert if another worker breached his safe distance (Covid) bubble. I recall lamenting ah yes, just what the world needs — a  tech application based on fake science and the lie of a viral pandemic. Did it not occur to the entrepreneur that he may be inventing another link in the chain of human enslavement? Livestock are accorded a comparable level of dignity.  

A recruitment video distributed by the marketing department of the US army’s psychological warfare division raises similar questions about the character and aspirations of applicants and the ethics of the employer. The US army is recruiting new talent, presumably for specialist roles in designing and conducting psychological operations — even as the Great Pandemic psy op grinds on. What’s wrong with this picture? The devastating impacts of the pandemic psyop have yet to be assessed, millions have yet to be freed from its spell, and no one has yet accepted responsibility for its harms. And some appear to be planning for more of the same. 

I understand there are righteous uses of strategic deception in the defence of individuals and nations. But does anyone in the current tension-filled social-political context, really believe that a larger workforce is needed to fill roles as Deep State magicians and mass mind manipulators? One could hardly construe the staging of fake war crimes and attributing them to Russia as God’s work given the effects will be prolonging the conflict and adding to the brutality and overall death toll? Does helping security agencies stage false flag attacks like those recently featured in the US contribute to improved societal coherence and the mental health of the public or their fragmentation? Is expanding the talent pool of Deep State crisis actors value-adding in the bigger scheme of things?

Your personal beliefs and values as a job seeker, matter. Do you believe it’s acceptable to covertly manipulate the emotions, thoughts and behaviour of others in accordance with the agenda of a powerful elite? Is it appropriate to treat other human beings as unwitting research subjects, guineau pigs and pawns to be moved on a social-political chess board as directed? One could argue that the day you sign on for such work you have already succumbed to the distorting influence of the “end-justifies-the-means” thinking. An anonymous biochemist whistleblower tells of being directed by his employer one day to formulate a chemical concoction for aerial dispersal that would have the  effect of mellowing the mood of the population below. As the Bob Dylan lyric says, “You’re gonna have to serve somebody…”Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you’re gonna have to serve somebody.” I assume that it was clear to the anonymous whistleblower at that point which one of the two he was serving. 

The Covid Deception demonstrated that the Powers-The-Be are using weapons of mass mind control on domestic populations. Ordinary citizens are the target. You, me, mothers, fathers, spouses, sisters and brothers, nieces, nephews and friends and neighbours were/are subjected to the kind of bombardment by propaganda once reserved for foreign enemies. Even the young are not exempt. In the UK, BBC ads featuring a Santa supposedly infected with Covid were shamelessly used to ensnare the emotions of children. It’s hard to imagine what satisfaction there is in knowing one’s craft crushes spirits, shatters minds, destroys lives and divides families and communities. Such is the nature of Satan’s work. Shadows and darkness must be manufactured continuously in order to provide necessary cover for his treachery. 

I’d encourage every young professional with shiny new degrees seeking work to take a principled pass on working for the “deception industry.” I’d encourage instead that her or she seek more meaningful, spiritually-uplifting work. Search out employers with a higher view of humanity and the best use of employee talents and training. Consider only those respectful of personal sovereignty and individual choice. Avoid those incentivizing cult-like followership and group think decision-making. Learn to read between the lines of pretty vision statements and discern the employer’s underlying beliefs regarding the ideal human-machine relationship. Does the employer believe we’re obliged as good technocrats to submit and serve the A.I. god, or alternatively that AI/tech advances must be tamed and harnessed in service to humanity? Who and what great cause are you going to serve?  

You’re gonna have to serve somebody: (Bob Dylan, Slow Train Coming):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOK0v2QYy9Y

The use of weaponized science against natural health advocates  — Goliath vs David

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes21C © May9, 2022 All rights reserved

“He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.” — Aeschylus (courtesy, Signs of the Times)

Sometimes those of us in the Resistance get a revealing look into how propaganda is used by those leading the current information war against us. One of our group members, along with my resister sister from Winnipeg, recently called my attention to the ugly “science” of Dr. David Fisman and graduate student Dr. Ashleigh Tuite, from the University of Toronto. Dr. Fisman, a former member of the ON Science Chair, is described as a “physician epidemiologist”.

His connections, even while serving on the ON Science Chair strongly suggest he plays for Team Covaxx. His recent modelling research purports to demonstrate that unvaccinated individuals present a risk to the vaccinated. The paper isn’t just badly flawed from a technical standpoint; you could say it’s weaponized to have an injurious impact on those favouring natural immunity. Nonetheless, it somehow managed to meet the editorial standards of the Canadian Medical Association Journal. The editorial failure aside, one would hope the fraudulent study would disappear from public view and die. But that’s not how the propaganda echo chamber works. Rather, the findings were distributed via mass and social media, thus enlarging its audience reach and amplifying its impact. For Resisters fighting the Deep State propaganda machine, the latter’s ability to leverage a lie in the face of demonstrated scientific truth echoes the disproportion of the biblical Goliath versus David contest.  

Articles on Fisman’s findings were carried by both CTV and CBC. The author of a tweet carried in the weekly Ben Fulford letter commented on the packaging of (selected?) news items for various news agencies. “It’s almost like there’s a single editor passing out the same assignment to every news agency”. As evidence, he attaches an image of articles on the Fisman study being distributed to 12 agencies (see image below my name). The amplification of Fisman et al’s toxic untruth didn’t end there however. Subsequently, the Liberal Parliamentary Secretary for Sport cited the study as justification for keeping the Canadian government’s Covid travel restrictions in place. How many will be impacted by the article’s publication in the CMA journal is unknown.

Thankfully, some virtuous “Davids” ensured the fabricated science bomb didn’t get a pass within the science community. Fisman’s study was roundly criticized by Dr. Mark Trozzi and shredded by Ontario vaccine researcher, Dr. Byram Bridle. Bridle described the paper as the worst research paper he has seen in his career, and “thinly-disguised hate speech” and calls upon its authors and the CMA journal to retract it. Bridle also suggests Fisman update his social media tweet referencing his tainted study, going so far as to propose appropriate wording for Fisman’s mea culpa. It reads:

After correcting just one of the several inappropriate immunological assumptions, our paper now supports the idea that the decision to get ‘vaccinated’ confers risk not only on the ‘vaccinated’ individual but (disproportionate to contact rates) on ‘unvaccinated’ individuals too; unlike our previous conclusion, the corrected model matches real world data. Thank-you to those who chose to remain ‘unvaccinated’ since you are now selflessly serving as a buffer to the vaccinated’. We are sorry to the field of public health modeling for disclosing how easy it is for the conclusions of our models to be manipulated by assumptions that we sometimes pull out of thin air. We also apologize to the ‘unvaccinated’ people (most of whom have received legitimate vaccines throughout their lifetimes) for misleading media organizations around the the world into promoting hatred against you. Now that our model has been shown to point to the ‘vaccinated’ as the main culprits of transmission of SARS CoV-2, we implore you not to promote hatred against us like we have done to you.  

At the moment, Goliath still stands and I doubt Fisman has the moral courage to issue the update. But who knows what the Bridle counterpunch may ignite. As Bridle has urged, the CMA journal could retract the study and review its peer review process. The College of Physicians and Surgeons could investigate Fisman and the harms caused by his paper, and the U of T could investigate the academic conduct of Drs. Fisman and Tuite. I’m not going to hold my breath awaiting any of these outcomes. But in the meantime, I’m delighted to know the Parliamentary Secretary for Sport is concerned about our health, because I’ve got some authentic studies for him. Unlike  Fisman’s study, these would actually help him make sense of what’s going on the real world regarding Covid-19 and the vaxx, and they would lend support to sound policies designed to protect Canadians.

Beauty and Truth — Essential Dietary Ingredients as We Stumble Toward the Kingdom of God”

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes21C, Aug 16, 2022 (c) 

‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.’ – John Keats

If the Great Covid Deception has taught me anything, it’s that there are depths of knowing and understanding that were never possible prior to this crucible moment. In retrospect, it’s clear many of the things I thought I knew — like the essential importance of beauty in our lives, I only grasped superficially. That’s not to say I haven’t long appreciated beauty in its many and varied forms. Growing up in a Christian context on a farm in rural Manitoba was a rich aesthetic experience. The tapestry of the farmscape was refreshed daily, monthly and seasonally. There were freshly-painted morning and evening skies; a succession of ripening fields of clover, alfalfa, wheat, and flax; stunning post card winter snowcapes  and occasional northern light shows just to cite a few. 

There was an abundance of music in our lives. The goosebumps associated with learning to play my part of a Moonlight Sonata duet  didn’t ever go away. My farm chores sometimes featured beauty of a different kind. On many occasions, I got to assist a cow bring her newborn into the world. Within minutes of its birth, I would witness her wobbly baby miraculously find its mother’s udder and nourishment. That kind of beauty wowed me every time. It was a rich diet of everyday miracles that intertwined truth and beauty. And I took it for granted. 

The transition from life on the farm to life at the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg) was relatively easy because campus life included so much of what I had known back home. There were herds of cattle, expansive green pastures, test plots of various grains and horticultural crops and the same seasonal agricultural rhythms I’d known all my life. To say the campus was beautiful was an understatement. And as challenging as the academic experience was, there were still opportunities for me to hang out with photographers and musicians and nurture my aesthetic sense. By third year, I was so attached to the place, I didn’t want to leave. 

The big shock came upon graduating with my ag degree and decision to accept a job offer from a livestock feed company. It’s office was located at the intersection of Portage and Main streets in Winnipeg. My new habitat was situated in a cluster of older grey brick buildings and office towers at what could have been more descriptively called the Intersection of Concrete and More Concrete. I felt an immediate sense of sensual deprivation and longing for the lush green settings of the University and the farm. I recall heading outside during coffee break one morning, determined to experience renewed contact with nature. God’s sense of humour was apparent. I had barely exited my office building, when I was shit-bombed by a pigeon. I had to laugh, but the touch of nature didn’t sustain me long. Within a couple months, I’d made my escape in search of a more inspiring setting. 

Decades later, I encountered a song with an haunting title and melody by Christian recording artist and song writer, Jim Groegaert. It was called: “Why do we hunger for beauty?” It’s a great question. Why do we? Some of the lyrics resonated with my childhood observations.

Frost on the window

Is never the same

So many patterns

Fit in the frame

Captured in motion

Frozen in flame

And in the patterns

Is there a name

Why do we hunger for beauty?

As a kid, I had noticed the same fragile, fractal beauty in the frost patterns that formed each winter on the glass of my bedroom window. And I had, like Croegaert, marvelled at the exquisite nature of the artwork that appeared unsolicited. 

Dr. Jordan Peterson brought me back to the question of our desire and need for beauty in an excerpt from a lecture entitled; “Why you should buy art.” He recalls his visit to a New York art gallery where people from all over the world inhaled the magnificence of a room of priceless paintings. What was it in the art that so entranced the visitors? Peterson explains that a (presumably beautiful) piece of art is a window into the transcendent. He elaborated…”And you need that in your life because you’re finite and limited and bounded by your ignorance and lack of knowing, and unless you can make a connection to the transcendent, then you don’t have the strength to prevail. And that’s part of the covenant …the covenant with God.”…”Beauty is one pathway towards God.” 

Peterson encourages the members of his audience to purchase art, acknowledging there’s an element of risk. Friends may notice and question or criticize. But the venturing remains important as in this process of developing our capacity for art, there’s an element of “stumbling toward the Kingdom of God.” Yes, genuine learning and discovery are always a matter of stumbling, aren’t they? That’s as it should be because it invites humility. 

While Peterson makes no mention of the Covid deception in the excerpt, the notion that beauty (or in this case, art) provides the “strength to prevail” is particularly relevant now. A year of two before the Covid deception was unleashed, I grappled with the question of how I could best survive the unfolding political oppression. My simple response was to prescribe, initially for myself, ten counter tactics. The list included things like continuing to set goals and maintaining daily routines. But the one that seems to have amplified in importance since the initial brainstorm is tactic number seven: Increase the amount of beauty in your life (music, art etc) Shortly thereafter, I took up nature photography as one means of increasing the focus on beauty in my life as a means of staying healthy and whole. Nature photography fuses truth and beauty in the same way my experience helping birth calves on the farm did. 

In retrospect, it’s pretty clear that those who orchestrated the Pandemic Deception and its dystopian 1984 control measures were seeking to defeat us spiritually. Social and spiritual — specifically aesthetic deprivation — were/are central features of their scheme. It’s dressed up of course as being in the public interest. Their goal was imposing a barren aesthetic landscape and a starvation diet as it relates to our experiencing beauty and truth. Why else would they deny access to every conceivable source of play, insight and pleasure from playgrounds, parks and beaches to live concerts, classrooms, theatres, churches, sports events and even gyms where aspirations of developing healthy beautiful bodies are nurtured?

The diabolic forces of darkness were intent on denying us any possibly opportunity to experience the transcendent, a touch of the divine or a taste of an out-of-this-world experience. The absolute thoroughness of the campaign is perverse proof of the demonic origins of the campaign. In total, the campaign proved to be far more anti-human than anything any normal human being could concoct. And then came the vaxx itself with the rumours that one of its potential effects is weakening our connection to our Creator. Based on a notion of God as our sustaining source of spiritual light, then severing that connection amounts to nudging humanity in the opposite direction of the Kingdom of God. 

As the struggle against the dark side continues, the prescriptive importance of keeping up the truth-beauty quotient in our lives remains… or grows actually. We need our daily dose to remain healthy. And just like exercising and managing our diet, we need to be intentional about it. We shall overcome because we refuse to accept a diet of thin transhumanist gruel deficient in the essential elements of truth and beauty. We will overcome as we persist in nourishing our souls.  

Beyond the matter of our personal “dietary” need for truth and beauty in various forms, is the matter of our “service” to others who may be suffering from acute deficiencies. Such deficiencies are exacerbated by daily exposure to the toxic output of the Propaganda Machine. A return to health begins with kicking the habit — the individual’s addiction to fear-laced propaganda. Replacement with something wholesome is required. I recommend sources of enduring truth and mega doses of beauty in various forms (natural, musical, artistic, spiritual…). It’s a matter of cracking open those windows to the transcendent and allowing for the healing touch of the divine. Many of us anticipate a painful period of collective grieving relative to vaxx-engineered injuries and deaths lies ahead. Understanding how truth and beauty can be essential antidotes to consuming despair will be important when we enter this period.

Not all our gestures, however well-intentioned, will be received as such. Some of our attempts at outreach may be awkward or inelegant. But that’s no reason to surrender to detachment and isolation. Let’s venture with renewed courage into the realm of bringing the light of truth and beauty to others — stumbling toward the Kingdom of God. It can be as simple as a full-faced smile, a “Good Morning”, a hug or non-judgemental listening. Who knows? If we dare lose ourselves in this journey, we may one day discover that the Ultimate Artist has fashioned something truly beautiful out of our lives.
