“Isaiah work”: What are the returns on labours of love?

“Blessed is he who plants trees under whose shade he will never sit.”— Indian proverb

NOTE: This commentary grew out of a conversation initiated by a compatriot in the freedom movement. I’m taking the liberty of extending our conversation “outward” in that others in the freedom movement may derive some fresh perspective or encouragement from it. Our conversation was based on an article entitled, The Resonant Remnant, an old testament reference the obscure minority that heard the message of the prophet Isaiah. The author references the often challenging work of leaders who confront the established order. 

Modern day management theory places immense importance on the ability of aspiring leaders to orchestrate organizational change (change leadership). Hundreds of books and articles have been written on the subject, thousands of classes taught on the subject and hundreds of millions spent on related consulting services worldwide. But when it gets down to the real nitty gritty, organizations have complex inner lives of their own. Often, deeply entrenched competing interests and habits prevail and the change campaign fails short,  a victim of “organizational gravity.” According to some analyses, failures in this realm are more common than successes. Truth warriors can take some comfort in this when confronting their own lack of success in awakening others to important truths and imperatives over the last three years. And presumably, a kinder, gentler and more realistic assessment of one’s performance will in turn help ward off debilitating discouragement, regret and self-recrimination.

I need to revisit and re-think my idea of success in this truth war as much as anyone. My failure to communicate effectively concerning the vaxx threat to the health and lives of those I care about is apparent. Earlier this month, my former church reported the “unexpected” sudden passing of one of its congregants, a 68 year old gentleman who was required to be fully-vaxxed in order to attend church services. I was still grieving his loss when I learned that a Manitoba cousin had also died suddenly (vaxx likely, not confirmed). In January of 2021, I sent both of these folks a personal email sharing the results of my investigation on the subject and warning them away from the vaxx. The 68 year old gentleman was analytical in his bent and had a degree in physics, so why didn’t logic prompt him to decline the vaxx? It must be true then that Hell, is not only devoid of love, it’s also devoid of reason

It’s a hard lesson for those raised on the mechanistic Western model of how the world works. In reality however, the laws of the universe pay little attention to the principles of Project Management. In God’s great scheme of things, A plus B plus C doesn’t predictably lead to D. This is called the Age of Unreason for a good reason. In a previous edition of this letter, I shared an alternative to our logic-driven approach to winning friends and influencing Covid believers. It’s a right brain, heart-to-heart approach employing narrative and artistic media — stories, documentaries, musicals and “other”. Beyond that, in the interest of our mental health and well-being, we might also revisit the terms of reference and our expectations for our mission. What is the true nature of “truth-warrior” work? What are realistic expectations in terms of possible outcomes? 

The author of The Resonant Remnant would likely define the terms of reference for the kind of “Isaiah work” truth warriors undertake along these lines:  

Your role will be planting “seeds”, the harvest will be left to divine hands;

You won’t reach the masses, but rather a smaller remnant with ears to hear and with whom your message resonates;

Most of what you say will fall on deaf ears;

You won’t know who comprises the resonant remnant per se and are unlikely to meet its members face to face;

You can’t know the means whereby your message reaches the receptive remnant; thus, in effect you’re speaking “into the wind”;

There will be no formal or official acknowledgement of your contribution (in this life at least);

The size of the harvest won’t be known for some time — perhaps not even in your life time;

You won’t find the resonant remnant through your efforts they will find you or your message of their own accord; and

You can expect the usual hostility accorded those who deliver unwelcome messages or inconvenient truths.

This isn’t conventional selling either. As author, Eleutheroo puts it, the Internet provides for “a virtual marketplace of ideas where each can present their ideas and works, not with the intent of selling a product, but of sending out a signal that will be…received by those on that wave-length. 

“Isaiah” work has no rational appeal for ordinary men and women who are deeply attached to the hive mind. It’s too nebulous and unpredictable, too risky and decidedly unsexy. There’s clearly no prospect of achieving big time Influencer status with a large following of adoring fans and gratuitous virtue points. This work is reserved for selfless individuals prepared to plant in rain or shine in faith, deaf to the ridicule and confident of a harvest in due course. Yes, there may be the occasional word of appreciation from some member of that elusive remnant, but ultimately this is a labour of love and its operation consigned to the realm of mystery.

A labour of love is it’s own reward. And as the author puts it, the measure of its success isn’t a matter of material or numeric gains. It’s the joy and fulfillment found in living out one’s calling. This is the joy of living on that higher plane where talent, motive and mission are marvellously fused. The screenwriter for the movie Chariots of Fire (1981), captured the joy of such a partnership with the divine. The  lead actor playing the Sottish Olympic athlete, Eric Liddell, summed up his passion for running: “When I run, I feel God’s pleasure.” I doubt that it gets any better than that. Shine on fellow truth-warriors!

The Stealth and Subtlety of Propagandists: Beware the band wagon or “inevitability” con

The stealth and subtlety of propagandists: Beware the band-wagon or “inevitability” con

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes.ca September 3, 2023 rec. Sept 7 2023 (C) All Rights Reserved 

Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature…”  Genesis 3:1

“You need to understand you’re being manipulated, and if you don’t know how you’re being manipulated, you’re never going to be able to fight it.” — Mike Smith, Producer, Into the Light 

The inevitability or “band wagon” con

Mark Twain’s once observed that it’s easier to fool someone than convince the individual that he had been fooled”. The truism reflects our debilitating ignorance regarding the power, pervasiveness and pernicious nature of propaganda. Our dismissiveness in this regard is a measure of our vulnerability to propagandists and their craft. Such naivety leaves the Powers-that-Be (PTB) free to go about their daily business of distortion and deception. In a recent blog, Aussie journalist, Caitlin Johnstone cites a fellow twitter warrior who warns readers that “…the most effective propaganda is the subtlest.” From a distance, the standing rule of propagandists appears to have been go big or go home. Consider such big hits as the “Russia did it” lie, the “Middle Eastern terrorists with box-cutters did it” lie, the “lone gunman” assassin did it, “six million Jews” and the “safe and effective” lie? Logically, the big whale lies are proportionately more likely to attract scrutiny and exposure in the long haul. Conversely, our mind’s watchdogs are less likely to sniff out subtle deceptions. One example in this category of subtle subconscious shapers is the inevitably con. (“Inevitability appeal” or “bandwagon” as per wikipedia)

Our adversaries work hard to create a perception that their agenda for the masses and the plans they intend to implement in the future are inevitable. It’s clever in a diabolical sense, because it leads the victim to conclude that resistance is futile and surrender is the only option. In fact, it’s better than that. Done properly, this tactic actually pre-empts the very idea of resisting. It doesn’t enter our conscious mind, and thus we never critically evaluate it or the alternatives. Rather, we  receive it as “understood,” pre-ordained, God’s will, a foregone conclusion, a given or a done deal. It’s worked well for the most part. Things we perceive as a given bypass our cognitive filters, neutralize the will and secure our compliance without a fight. And at that point, a pliable subconscious begins adapting to the expectation. Thus we surrender without knowing it, becoming on too many occasions, enablers of an unwanted future.  

Stealth and subtlety — trademarks of highly effective propaganda

Psychological warfare is inherently war by stealth manipulation of the mind. Sun Zu understood its pre-emptive potency. In The Art of War, Zu contended that supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting. The inevitability or bandwagon appeal is a way to win battles pre-emptively. The Twitter analyst’s warning should be taken seriously as we’re engaged in a no-holds-barred information war whether we like it or not. And in this context, contrary to the maxim, ignorance doesn’t equate to bliss. It’s more likely to make you a casualty of war. On the the subject of subtle manipulation of the public mind, governments have convinced themselves that creating “nudge” units is an innovation in the public interest. An examination of the vaxx frenzy will demonstrate otherwise. It’s already evident that the behavioural insights team (BIT) influence over the UK’s vaxx policy over-rode basic human rights, public health and medical considerations. If government’s were following any science at all it was human psychology and behavioural science. Goebels would be proud.

The craft of covert manipulation involves, at the granular level, creating pretentious word concoctions, shading word meanings and strategically framing the choices presented to target audiences. This is done in order to predispose thinking and behaviour in the intended direction. The most subtle form of persuasion conveys the message implicitly rather than explicitly. (No, you never said that; you but you implied it.) And implicitly conveying the sense that the latest globalist delusion is inevitable is an effective way of penetrating unguarded minds. Hired-gun PR agencies specialize in manipulation by stealth drawing on their knowledge of human psychology, social psychology and behavioral science.

I’m inclined to add neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to the list of weaponized sciences employed by propagandists. One example is the strategic use of the word, “eligible” when it came to enticing folks to get vaxxed. Typically, the word “eligible” has positive connotations as in the case where someone is deemed qualified to participate in a competition or placed in the pool of contestants for a prize draw. Individuals who were told they were “eligible” for a Covid injection, actually were being invited to play a version of medical Russian Roulette which, depending on the batch, could leave them sick, impaired or dead. It gives new meaning to the word disingenuous. One can only hope that the same people who were injured as a result of an adverse reaction to the vaxx will also be declared “eligible” for an apology from vaxx proponents and generous compensation by their governments.

When medical fascists were trying to convince us to accept the risky experimental vaxx, they employed language that implied everyone was capitulating to the so-called mandate and accept the vaxx. (and the numbers were exaggerated for good measure.) This was implied in terms like, “the last mile” or “last leg” of the vaxx roll-out. Pro-vaxx MSM articles appearing in MSM would underline the importance of completing the “last mile” or “final leg” of the campaign. The implied message is that the mission would be would be accomplished as a matter of course. This wasn’t a matter of “if”, only “when”, and it would be sooner rather than later. Soon it would be a case mission accomplished. A thick layer of bullshit veneer was applied to give the long-planned eugenicist-inspired project the glossy appeal of a bold moonshot venture.

Oops! Like any good authoritarian wedded to the belief that the end justifies the means, the disingenuous propagandist left out such minor details as viable alternative therapies, natural immunity, a faulty PCR test, medical ethics and the human right to bodily sovereignty. Unquestioning vaxx acceptance by angst-ridden citizens was the only path forward. This intentional exclusion of other considerations and options brings to mind an observation on tyranny from Alan Bloom, author of The Closing of the American Mind (1987). It invites us to consider what the propagandist has strategically omitted versus what is being said.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

The strategic editing of reality 

Consistent with the Bloom observation, “nudge unit” bureaucrats serving propagandizing governments have little difficulty obscuring or editing parts of our reality offering choices beyond their policy objectives. Again, the Covid Propagandemic is illustrative. The globalist bullies had to convince us that Ivermectin, Vitamin D, azythromycin and hydroxychloroquine were ineffective and/or dangerous. (They were suppressed, demonized and banned for good measure.) In Bloom’s terms, the tyrants made those other avenues of prevention and treatment seem inconceivable. Once people accepted that false premise, the job of convincing them that the vaxx was inevitable became much easier. 

It was as if the globalists’ cowboys were contracted to conduct a round-up at “the ranch.” The cowboys cracked their whips (made threats) and shouted (fearful consequences) to startle the herd get feet moving in the right direction. If added carrot shaped enticements like a return to normality and privileges to increase the appeal. Before it realized it, a large segment of the herd was psychologically and emotionally fenced in. Then the cowboys drove their subjects like cattle into the corral and down a narrow chute where they could be systematically injected/and branded/ID’d before being released back into the herd.

The Great Reset or Greater Expectations? 

As we’re bombarded with an increasing volume of toxic propaganda regarding the Great Reset, Central Bank CBDC’s, Smart Cities, (fake) Climate crises, 5G surveillance, ID implants, Russia and more Covid injections, watch for the subtle signs of the inevitability or band wagon con. This covert mind-warping technique is an inherent feature of globalist programming. The corollary of the opening Mike Smith quote is that once you know the magician’s tricks, you need not remain captivated by his sleights of hand.

Transhumanism’s psychopathic hucksters are good at projecting a confidence that belies the reality. Its aspiring high priests like Yuval Noah Harari and Ray Kurzweil, the “Singularity” salesman, exude a presumptive atheistic arrogance. Perhaps it’s linked to an underlying god delusion. If the advocates of totalitarian transhumanism possessed an ounce of humility, they would know that their plans for humanity are far from inevitable. The more likely outcome is that an awakening humanity will reject their not-so-great Great Reset, look up and pursue a decidedly more uplifting vision. Clear-headed liberty-seekers realize there’s nothing subtle about the choices facing us. 

“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! (Deuteronomy 30:19)

The Art of War Revisited: Unleashing a “right brain” strategy to breach the matrix

The Art of War Revisited: Unleashing a “right brain” strategy to breach the matrix

“We cannot confront bigots with nukes and battleships. But our talents, our muses, and our hearts are here, with us, ready to join the battle.”  (Andre Vltchek) 

Matrix: “a term describing  a controlled environment aor situation in which people act or behave in ways that conform to roles pre-determined by a powerful person(s) who decides how the world is supposed to function.”  (Urban  Dictionary)

Confronting the formidable power of the propaganda machine

As the whine of the engines propelling the Big Propaganda Machine grows louder once again, we’re taken back to the perplexing question of how to awaken an entranced segment of the population captivated by its illusions. It’s not a trivial question. I suspect most members of the freedom community aren’t prepared to surrender more territory nor newly-awakened friends, family and acquaintances to the control of globalist Powers that Be (PTC). Propaganda is the latter’s specialty, weapon of choice an means of control, so the matter of how to overcome its mind-altering influence over humans is central to the question of who will prevail in the current information war.

Few of us have pondered the enormous influence of propaganda over the lives ordinary citizens. Russia-born American, Andre Vltchek, philosopher, investigative journalist and film maker (1963-2020) did and considered it an existential threat to humanity. Based on his observations as a globe-travelling investigative journalist, Vletchek felt that much of the confusion and chaos he witnessed could be attributed to the fact that the world is inundated with Western propaganda. The passage of time has only served to confirm his analysis. The propaganda-driven vaxx frenzy is convincing proof. One source estimates the toll from Vaxxageddon at 20 million deaths and more 2.2 billion vaxx-related injuries worldwide. The fact that this depopulation campaign continues to this moment is a perverse tribute to the power of propaganda. It also underlines the urgency attached to the mission of finding an improved approach  to breaching the matrix and awakening the propagandized. Clearly, the above numbers are more than enough to warrant labelling propaganda a“weapon of mass destruction” of the first order. 

The frustrating limitations of a “facts and figures” counter strategy

Pausing to periodically assess the success of our counter insurgency and our war strategy is essential. The thrust of our approach for the past three to four years has consisted of researching, documenting and publishing a litany of lies, human rights abuses, and criminal activities attributable to the PTB. We fully expected that the hard evidence revealing that the SARS Cov 2 pandemic is a diabolical global conspiracy would be persuasive enough to figuratively awaken the dead or at least the sleeping. It wasn’t. By way of illustration, I shared two substantive research papers containing the findings from my personal investigation into the Pandemic-Vaxx narrative with more than 225 contacts. This included family, friends, acquaintances and former colleagues, many of whom are professionals in the fields of dentistry, family medicine, pharmacy, finance, education, the clergy and law. As of this date, I’m hard pressed to recall more than one or two who have responded along the lines of “Thanks for the alert, I’m now seeing what you reported.” I wasn’t seeking anyone’s agreement with my findings per se, but what did surprise me was the decision by some “professionals” to not even peruse the papers, let alone discuss the findings. A pastor working on a masters degree and a nurse assigned a role in rolling out the vax, both responded to the effect that they wouldn’t be reading my research paper. It appears that following the science actually means submitting to the propaganda. 

No doubt many other concerned freedom seekers urgently shared independent red pill analysis of the manufactured pandemic and vaxx campaign with family members and friends up until the point that the latter, like me, were told to stop. It’s been both discouraging and perplexing to say the least. So, given the limits of a factual or evidential approach, I was intrigued by an article by Vletchek entitled “How to fight Western Propaganda.” Perhaps he had the antidote. Vletchek frames our challenge this way:

“When the most powerful and the most destructive force on earth employs all its persuasive might, utilizing everything from the mainstream media to educational facilities, in order to justify its crimes, when it spreads its poisonous propaganda and lies in order to oppress the world and suppress hope, do we step back and begin endless and detailed work on precise and objective narratives? 

My simple application to the Covid-vaxx narrative is that bringing Covid-fixated family members, friends and acquaintances face to face with reality will require more than presenting them with hard facts and figures. Yes, we probably have enough evidence of medical malfeasance and monstrous daily Cabal wrongdoing to fill libraries and keep lawyers busy for decades. And it’s growing by the day. But seemingly it’s not the stuff that appeals to the propagandized masses living in a (fabricated) reality somewhat detached from ours. To borrow a well-worn rural Saskatchewan response to lost travellers seeking directions to their destination, “You can’t get there from here.” It’s increasingly clear that those trapped in the Matrix cannot or do not process facts and logic. This may in part be a matter of the way humans are wired. Cognitive scientist, Roger Schank says: “Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories.” This is completely consistent with Vletchek’s call for a more emotive strategy employing powerful narratives to reach the entranced. 

Obviously, there’s a need to prioritize our targets. Many, if not most Vaxx Zealots may be beyond reach — by  humans anyway. Realistically then, it’s a question of how to more effectively engage those who still possess eyes capable of seeing and ears capable of hearing, The qualification here is that we’ve learned that the eye can only see what the mind is prepared to comprehend. And the individual’s mind sets boundaries concerning what it’s prepared to comprehend. Unsurprisingly, it retreats when presented with uncomfortable truths presenting a threat to their worldview. The retreat is triggered by at the cognitive dissonance headache or shock that results when paradigms clash. I compare it to the way livestock retreat or avoid contact with an electrically-charged pasture fence. They don’t like to get zapped. 

The call for a “right brain”- powered counter strategy 

Daniel H. Pink’s book, “A Whole New Mind” (2005) explains humans are literally “of two minds” in that our brains are divided into left and right hemispheres. While we use both hemispheres to do things, they have different capabilities. The left hemisphere is “sequential, logical and analytical.” Engineers, software programmers and data analysts draw heavily upon its capabilities. The right hemisphere is “non-linear, intuitive and holistic.” The right with its capacity for inventiveness, empathy, joyfulness and meaning is what is most relied upon by “artists, inventors, designers, story tellers, caregivers, consolers and big picture thinkers.”  

It’s not surprising then that Vletchek, a film maker, investigative journalist and philosopher would call for what amounts to a more “right brain”-powered strategy to overcome the propaganda-induced spells of the PTB. 

Or do we confront lies and propaganda with our own narrative, supported by our intuition, passion and dreams for a better world?” 

“To win over billions of people, we have to inspire them, to fire them up. We have to outrage them, embrace them, shame them, make them laugh and make them cry. We have to make sure that they get goose bumps when they see our films, read our books and essays, listen to our speeches.” 

Rather than trying to persuade the skeptical with logic, Vletchek’s approach would seek to connect via feelings at an emotional or spiritual level. We don’t try to reason with people who are drowning or under an hypnotic spell. Perhaps we shouldn’t expect to reason with those subjected to what is perhaps the most intense and sophisticated psy op in human history. 

While Vletchek wasn’t speaking to events of the last four years in particular, he saw the propagandized as poisoned or anesthetized. He advises: “We have to detox them, make them feel again, wake up natural instincts in them.”  

There may be some value then in thinking differently about those who reject our claims. Would our response be more effective if we viewed opposing Covidians as in a similar state to those suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, indoctrinated by a religious cult or experiencing a form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? Are they comparable in some sense to wounded prisoners of war (POWs)? Viewing truth-defying Covid believers differently naturally prompts a reframing of our mission. Rather than it being one of persuasion via discussion and debate, it then become one of reviving and resuscitating people suffering from prolonged exposure to mind-altering toxins. 

Clearly, some segments of the population are more resistant to propaganda-based warfare and more resilient when it comes to recovering from its adverse effects than others. (I believe about 25-30% of Americans either rejected the vaxx outright or quit at two; the Canadian number may be a bit lower.) Vletchek’s call to wake up the “natural instincts” of the propagandized seems appropriate. In a different context, it brings to mind the contrasting behaviour of two categories of mothers. On the one hand, the protective “mamma bear” confronts educators regarding the sexualizing and indoctrinating of her children. And, on the other, the cultural Marxist-indoctinated mother voluntarily wheels her children into the public library for a tranny grooming session. (Chances are her porch is decorated with a blue and yellow UA flag.) And some, apparently suffering from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, eagerly bathe in the reflected public attention her child’s gender transitioning saga gets on her social media accounts. The futility of trying to reason with the deeply propagandized in the latter category seems as obvious as the impairment of their natural maternal instincts. 

Unleashing our moral imagination 

For each of us, finding the courage to speak out publicly was Step One. Shaping powerful narratives that meaningfully convey truth to captives of the Covid illusion takes something more. It requires the kind of moral imagination Andre Vletchek calls for. It’s the kind of right brain-fuelled creative output that inspires, outrages, embraces, shames, ignites laughter, and induces tears. The intended outcome is the same whether the medium is books, films, essays or speeches; it’s to revive spirits, revitalize the senses and foster spiritual healing. 

We’ve already glimpsed how powerful the awakened moral imagination can be. Our meme-writers have been skewering our unscientific, delusional controllers for some time — often brilliantly. Satirists like JP Sears and Babylon Bee entertain while reducing our tormentors to the size of laughable Lilliputians. New films are awakening audiences to the nature of the Deep State’s propaganda-built matrix. In 2020, Mike Smith released his “Out of Shadows” documentary, “an expose on how Hollywood and MSM manipulate the masses by spreading propaganda throughout their content.” In August of this year, Smith followed up with Into the Light, “a movie made to bring to surface that psychological operations are present and active in today’s society.” The appetite for docu-films like this and films like Call of Freedom is likely to bring other players into the alternative movie field. Last week, a high profile individual in the liberty movement mentioned in passing that he’ had recently attended meetings with other like-minded individuals to discuss the kind of film projects a re-invented Hollywood might undertake as the old one decays. 

There’s immense room for creative media production capable of “inoculating” our kids and grandkids against the predatory grasp of demonic forces. Liberty-minded blogger, Brandon Smith, convinced of the need to engage youth, has committed to “producing conservative/liberty movement entertainment content to compete with woke Hollywood.” The teaser for his “coming soon” graphic novel, “Mountain Hollow”, looks like it would intrigue the kid in me.https://alt-market.us/update-alt-markets-first-graphic-novel-mountain-hollow-will-be-published-soon/  

A fellow truther recently informed me about the Brave Books venture. The website tells us that Trent Talbot (founder and CEO) “saw the inappropriate content being pushed upon children and realized the need for a wholesome alternative. He left his career as a practicing ophthalmologist to found Brave Books and the rest is history.” As a first time author of a kids’ book myself, I share Talbot’s conviction regarding the need to provide children with wholesome alternative content. 

Breaching the walls of the Matrix 

Klaus Schwab of the WEF may brag that his organization has penetrated the cabinets of client governments, Canada’s included. 

I take heart in the idea that the walls of the PTB’s Matrix aren’t built of concrete and steel. Rather I think of them as composed of a densely-woven thatch of lies and false narratives in a continuous state of decay. Thus, they are even more penetrable. And as the lyrics of Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem” suggest, nothing can block the infiltration of “the light”. 

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack, a crack in everything

That’s how the light gets in.

No state narrative comprised of lies and deception, no matter how often it is recited, can withstand a steady, well-aimed barrage of truth over the long term. The PTB propagandists know that, and that’s the reason they’re working so frantically to find new ways to censor, cancel and de-platform. To paraphrase the Jack Nicholson movie line: They can’t handle the truth.

It’s a long term struggle, but the Resistance appears to be breaching the barricades and reaching expanding audiences. Some media productions like Smith’s films are exposing the operation of the Propaganda Machine itself. Success is more than a matter of audience numbers. Sometimes the victory is simply in bringing a once-hidden subject like child trafficking to the fore and into the public conscious. In that process, a predatory criminal activity once deemed undiscussable in polite company becomes visible and discussable. And each time one of the PTB’s dark, dirty secrets is exposed to sunlight, the enemy get weaker and its position less defensible. (As we’re discovering, that’s not the PTB’s only similarity with vampires!)

The uptake and reach of Smith’s Out of Shadows is noteworthy and suggestive of a growing appetite for truth. Smith reports that it had “over 100 million views” in the first year and was translated into 24 languages, something he describes as “a God thing.” It makes the Great Awakening seem like less of a dream and more of a possible reality in our life time. Moving forward, the freedom camp’s call to arms is part invocation and part exhortation. It’s a call for heavenly help mobilizing an army of inspired creative writers, artists, producers, actors and entertainers. And it’s a call for talented artisans to infuse the truth-to-freedom message into a wide array of media content, publications and public presentations. To these folks we say, give us your most moving and entertaining plays, musicals, movies; your most informative documentaries; your most gripping kids’s tales and graphic novels; your most hilarious stand-up routines and sharpest satire; and your most poignant stories and powerful speeches. 

Andre Vletchek has passed, but he leaves us with this rousing reminder of what we must bring to the struggle against oppression. 

“But before we win our final battles against imperialism, nihilism, fascism, exceptionalism, selfishness and greed, we have to fully and effectively utilize our most powerful weapons: our visions of a better world, our love for humanity, our passion for justice. 

Thank-you, Andre. Well said.

No Surrender! Finding serenity, freedom and meaning amid tyranny

No Surrender! Finding serenity, freedom and meaning amid tyranny

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes.ca (c) All rights reserved, August 2, 2024

“But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be in dread.” I Peter 3:14 

There’s no denying the Powers-that-Be are engaged in a brutal no-holds-barred war against humanity. Nor is there any denying it has taken a heavy toll on hearts, minds and bodies. After seven years of intensive psychological manipulation, it may be useful to ask how others historically have remained sane and whole in the midst of prolonged war and captivity. Nietzsche’s famous line: “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how”, comes to mind. To paraphrase, one who has a purpose in life can endure almost any misery. 

Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neurologist and psychologist (1905-1997) and author of Man’s Search for Meaning (1946) drew strength from Nietzsche’s dictum during his own imprisonment in multiple concentration camps in World War II. In fact, he made it and his surroundings a matter of personal study. He discovered that prisoners “who did not lose their sense of purpose and meaning in life were able to survive much longer than those who had lost their way.” I would add that maintaining a positive view in term of a possible future can also be important. Frankl made a habit of visualizing himself giving lectures to receptive audiences in the future. He concluded that many prison camp deaths were more appropriately attributed to loss of hope and meaning than a lack of food. There’s something instructive in Frankl’s personal tactics and findings regarding the significance ofa sense of purpose  and meaning for those in oppressive circumstances.  

At times like this, it’s natural for our escapist impulse to emerge; “Just make it all go away….please!” we may pray on occasion. But that’s not the Creator’s approach to refining the human spirit, nor is it Frankl’s formula for finding meaning. The latter asserts that “man’s freedom is not freedom from, but freedom to” confront life’s challenges and find meaning in the process. Frankl describes three sources of meaning: work, loving relationships and suffering. “What man actually needs”, says Frankl, “is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him.”  

Well, we’re about as far from a “tensionless state” as I can imagine. Seemingly, it’s during oppressive circumstances like ours that it’s most important to seek clarity as to who one is and what his or her mission in life is. It’’s not simply a matter of keeping hope alive and sustaining our mental health and well-being. It’s also a matter of our ability to contribute to the cause, a matter of performance. Sun Tzu (The Art of War) linked knowledge of self, along with knowledge of the enemy, to success in battle. “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” 

Logically then, clarity regarding oneself and life mission can: 

  • reduce vulnerability to distraction, self-interest and malaise (as Frankl suggests).;
  • focus the mind and our efforts, thus enhancing our contribution;
  • enable an individual to transcend pain and hardship; and 
  • bolster confidence and contribute to well-being and personal satisfaction.

The emboldening effect of a sense of purpose is clearly illustrated in the lives of individuals that have surfaced in the current struggle against tyranny. We’ve seen numerous resisters take bold action in defence of ordinary people, despite the personal cost. The nurse who substituted saline solution injections for the risky vaxx comes to mind. While I seek to avoid “fandom”, I’m buoyed in spirit by the examples of those who put their employment, lifestyle, reputation, relationships and in some instances their life on the line. This includes both high profile names in research and medicine like Tenpenny, Merrick, Cahill, Yeadon, McCullough, Bridle, Hodkinson, Trozzi and countless others who dared to defy the regime. 

I’ve heard it said that the most powerful man or woman in the world is the one who needs nothing. Their values and sense of purpose (or divine calling) is such that these individuals can’t be bought. In the case of the Great Covid Deception, they demonstrated their independence. They didn’t need social media “influencer” payola, approving “atta boy” and “atta girl” back pats from superiors, applause from colleagues, the camaraderie of vaxx cult members, approval of family and friends, Big Brother’s false assurances of safety and security, the affirmation of spouses nor special privileges from the state. Nada! They are anchored by a deep understanding of who they are and their assignment and guided by closely-held values and moral principles. 

Perhaps it’s this powerful anchoring which enables these resilient individuals to pivot when their situation requires it. For much of their lives, the four Brunson Brothers, (American trumpet players), believed their role was entertaining with their brand of trumpet music. But their musical careers never took off. In recent years, they have taken on a new challenge. The four brothers and committed patriots, none of whom are lawyers, have brought a pivotal case to the US Supreme Court. The decision could have massive implications if the court determines that members of Congress failed to fulfill their oath of office and investigate the situation when the integrity of election results is in doubt. (See 2020 US election)

The Cabal/NWO coup of 2020 has shattered world views and shaken many out of life-on-autopilot. We’ve had to face the figurative “man in the mirror” and decide what’s of ultimate importance. I recall reading about a soft-spoken Australian man who was subjected to a lengthy interrogation by Australian “gestapo” in 2020. He spoke calmly and clearly regarding his stance in support of fundamental human freedoms and his willingness to die defending them. I’m sure that the Canadian pastors who have been imprisoned for keeping their churches open during the lockdowns have thought a great deal about their respective missions in life. The heat of this conflict has, in many respects, been clarifying. Some may recall hearing the personal declaration of a defiant Oklahoma MD in a 2020 Vaccine Choice Canada interview? His statement, “I was born for this fight” continues to resonate. It doesn’t sound like the sentiment of someone reconciled to enslavement. Rather, it’s indicative of an individual who relishes his assigned role in an undertaking of major historic significance. 

No one knows with certainty the duration or the outcome of the great struggle that now engulfs humanity. We’ve been told that we can expect some very disruptive events to unfold in coming months and with it, potentially significant casualties. For now at least, continued tyranny can be expected. So, in Frankl’s terms, freedom from that reality seems remote. But if we embrace his understanding that genuine human freedom is freedom to …, our outlook is very different. Has there ever been a greater opportunity to exercise the freedom to love and serve others, speak truth, stand for peace, seek forgiveness, call for justice, repudiate evil, expose darkness and deception, demonstrate courage, rally the faint-hearted, nurture health and healing, protect the innocent, comfort the grieving, and imagine and create the new…? The possibilities in this agonizing and momentous struggle are endless.

What’s Going on with the Church? Is the “Wheat” Being Sorted from the “Chaff”?

What’s Going on with the Church? Is the “Wheat” Being Sorted from the “Chaff”?

A torturous spectacle

Call me jaded, but there are really few things occurring in the public square in our Upside Down world these days that surprise me. And that includes both the in-you-face expressions of evil and the political contortions of left-leaning, woke Christian churches to accommodate them. But I won’t deny it can be difficult to watch. RT recently reported that self-described “activist pastor”, Quentin Caesar (who goes by she/he pronouns), declared, “God is Queer” in his speech at the closing ceremony of the German Protestant Congress in Nuremberg. Speaking to attendees of the Evangelical Church Congress, Caesar declared that “now is the time to say” that “black lives always matter,” that “God is queer,”and that migrants must be welcomed to Europe, among other liberal affirmations.”

The article goes on to say that Caesar’s views aren’t unique among Protestants. An Anglican church in London held a drag queen performance for local “LGBTQIA + communities and other marginalized people and groups.” The author adds that a Protestant Church in Sweden replaced an Adam and Eve altar piece with one showing homosexual couples in suggestive poses.

Gigi de la Torre attended Washington DC’s pride parade and among other things, noted a “religious” presence; specifically, representation by a number of churches. One of the groups was Washington DC LGBT Catholics. Another identified itself as “United Methodist Churches of the National Capital Area.” The groups’ signs and posters carried such messages as: “Queer and Christian,” “God is love,” “God is a dyke,” and “Trans joy is a miracle.” 

Swedish journalist, Peter Imanuelsen reported that he had walked into a church in Norway and discovered a wall hanging at the front of the church where the image of Christ was superimposed on an LGBT flag. Shocked at what he calls ‘absolute heresy”, Imanuelsen asks: WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CHURCH??? 

I’ve been asking myself the same thing. Specifically, why have so many Christian churches and church leaders eagerly jumped on the LGBTQI+ bandwagon (along with a lot of other cultural Marxist causes)? The question has played out in my personal life as my former church here in Ottawa has bought into the trend.

A love affair with “wokeism” or cultural Marxism

Its love affair with woke ideology and causes appears to have begun prior to my arrival in 2016. By 2019, it had become too hard for me to stomach. It seemed that the (stealth) seeding of cultural Marxist memes into church prayers, sermons and the congregational lexicon was dishonest and incompatible with tenets of the Christian faith. I miss the fellowship, but in some respects my departure has been liberating. I no longer have to confess the fashionable fake sin of “micro aggressions”, acknowledge my inborn white racism and “white fragility” (courtesy of Robin D’Angelo) or pretend to fear imaginary “white supremacists.” It frees me to focus on some of my real sins like inaction in the face of evil. Going along in order to get along with evil isn’t a virtue. There are just too many occasions when I’ve sat and waited for divine intervention or someone else to step up when I should have.

But, back to the matter of what’s going on with the church. What’s prompting so many to jump into the pool of orgiastic LGBTQI+ Pride fandom, applaud fake justice causes like BLM and march in lock step to the drum beat of authoritarian vaxx zealots? I can think of  four maladies that may be afflicting progressive churches, their leaders and their congregants.

Lack of spiritual discernment: In the age of deception, or any era for that matter, the ability to discern between the virtuous and the Luciferian counterfeit is essential. But it needs to practiced on a regular basis. Perhaps these churches once possessed this ability, enabling them to discern between darkness and light, and it’s has atrophied from lack of use over time. This in turn, has left them spiritually blind and deaf, lacking eyes to clearly see and ears to hear. It strikes me as a case of Elephant (in-the-room) Blindness,” because the militant depravity of the dark side is hard to miss. And their memes and slogans aren’t exactly subtle. How much discernment does it take to parse a message like that coming from LGBTQ+ marchers in the NYC 2023 Pride event: “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children”? 

Ignorance (and laziness): It’s hard to overstate the importance of doing one’s due diligence regarding the latest ideological fashion peddled by the Powers-That-Be. So, how many woke churches that leapt onto the BLM bandwagon for example, actually researched the political backgrounds of its leaders, BLM’s anti-traditional family manifesto, the source of BLM funding, the use of donations or even black leaders’ impressions of the cause. And even now, long after the false high of George Floyd’s veneration has dissipated, how many of those that bent the knee have a clue as to what it was really about? Do they care that the autopsy revealed that Floyd had actually died of a drug overdose? Do they care that reportedly not a single dollar raised while black and white businesses burned was directed to community improvement projects. (But thanks for playing, suckers.) 

I once tried to alert my church pastor and librarians to the likelihood that a book recently added to its lending library was thinly-disguised Western war propaganda. I supported my claim with a dozen or so references. Since Mennonites had historically adopted a passivist stance during wars, it seemed ironic that a Mennonite church was providing war propaganda to its congregants. But no, I was told the book should remain on the shelf; it was fine. Later, I tried to alert the church to the fact that the LGBTQ+ political cause could no longer be considered a matter of oppression, thus no need for sermonizing. And still later I provided heavily-documented evidence that the Covid vaxx narrative was a dangerous scam threatening the lives and health of congregants. Seemingly nothing has registered.  

Vanity: My re-reading of the Emperor’s New Clothes as an adult revealed something I had missed as a child. The con described in the 186 year old fable was ultimately a pitch to human vanity. The story reads in part: “The fake weavers in the story said their cloth  was more beautiful that any other cloth BUT it could not be seen by just anyone. Only people who were smart and the most excellent could actually see the magic cloth. People who were not smart and not excellent —well, they could see nothing at all.” 

So those who claimed to see the emperor’s new clothes were instantly deemed smarter than the rest. The biblical Eve is said to have been seduced by the promise that she would become like God. Big Pharma and its minions promised the masses that getting vaxxed  would confer a variety of privileges that lesser humans, specifically anti-vaxxers, would be denied. And pledging loyalty to the LGGTQ+ flag, it appears, elevates one to the lofty company of the virtuous to enjoy the fellowship of other woke cult “believers”. Ooops…they all fall short of the rule in business: under-promise and over-deliver! In reality, any cause which purportedly confers special privileges or special status (more virtue, or intelligence) is an appeal to human pride or vanity, something James Wood (Rev.) calls “the food of fools.” 

A grasp for renewed relevance: The root of the progressive church embrace of cultural Marxism may go deeper than a felt need for greater societal acceptance. It may reflect an unspoken yearning for renewed relevance in a 21st century societal context. The church, once a central pillar of the community is Western society, has been gradually pushed to the sidelines over the last 50-60 years. The technological Utopians have to a large degree declared it irrelevant. Governments have usurped aspects of church ministry in the realm of charitable services, and criminalized aspects of pastoral ministry. (One example is counselling in the realm of gender dysphoria.) In light of this, some churches are perhaps yearning to regain relevance in the eyes of the public and dwindling congregations. Perhaps Progressives believe that embracing cultural Marxism and advocating for its causes will enhance their denominational “sex appeal” — figuratively speaking of course.

The likely after-effects of the affair 

The excitement of the illicit love affair eventually wears off, leaving the straying partner wondering what the attraction was. The lurid affair between progressive churches and cultural Marxism is likely to have a similar outcome. The thrill will wear off while disappointment, guilt and shame linger. It’s said that before Satan destroys his victims, he first degrades them. Perhaps this was a feature of the diabolical plan to spiritually neutralize vulnerable churches from the outset. Seduce them with false promises and allow the resulting guilt and shame to distance them from God’s love, something which typically leads to spiritual paralysis. 

What is the likelihood propagandized churches will rebel against their programmers and return to the core of the faith? It’s probably not as great as one might hope, for multiple reasons. The most obvious reasons are pride and shame. Less obvious is the possibility that church leaders and congregants that bought into the “get vaxxed” Covid propaganda may be sedated. One medical observer, Dr. Tau Braun says, “I have become more and more certain….that the fundamental reason for the vaccine was as a tranquilizer.” If true, lethargy, not righteous rebellion against the political fashion du jour can be expected. I say this because progressive churches tended to equate vaxx “mandate” compliance with Christian obligation in spite of the risks attached to the injection.

Straddling a barb wire fence 

Meanwhile, at a practical level, the contradictions progressives are seeking to straddle are painfully inescapable. For example, do progressives advocate for “trans rights” or do they advocate for the rights of children, including a child’s right to be protected from political indoctrination? Which mantra will it be…”Protect trans kids”, or Protect kids from trans (exploitation, medical mutilation, and predation)? Now that the marketing campaign for pedophilia is well under way, will progressives feign blindness to the addition of the next gender/sexual kink to the expandable LGBTQ1AA+ alphabet? Will they continue to blissfully celebrate with LGBTQI+ Pride” a year from now or awaken to challenge the inversion of the moral horizon? You don’t have to be a cowboy to know it’s painful to straddle a barb wire fence. And there is no neutral ground in this all-out spiritual war.

Winnowing winds 

What’s going on with churches? The desperate pursuit of acceptance and “love” in all the wrong places by so-called “progressive” churches is beginning to read like a cautionary biblical parable. At least one of its lessons can be drawn from an analogy with harvest and its central task — separating the kernels of ripened grain from the chaff. Following the threshing of their harvested crop, ancient farmers used the wind to separate the grain from the chaff in a process called “winnowing”. (A modern farm combine uses a fan-generated current of air.) The Luciferian-weaponized cause of the day, whether it’s based on BLM, LGBTQIAA+ or something else, is like a winnowing wind blowing across our society and our culture. Thus, it’s not just religious leaders and church doctrines that are being sifted and sorted in the process. It seems like every personal belief system, ideological construct, political brand, organization and institution is being exposed to divining winds. Are we in the midst of a great, God-ordained winnowing? It seems so.

“For the winnowing fan is in his hand and he purges his threshing floor, and he gathers the wheat into his barns, and the chaff he will burn in fire that is not extinguished.”(Matt: 3:12)

Deconstructing and Countering the “Conspiracy Theorist” Smear

June 28, 2023

Deconstructing and Countering the “Conspiracy Theorist” Smear

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes.ca June 28, 2023 (c) All rights reserved

The old “conspiracy theorist” smear is clearly a favourite weapon in the on-going war of words. The term is now more than 36 years old and part of the lexicon of a third generation since its coinage. It’s remarkable, but it doesn’t appear to have lost any of its original potency despite having been used on a regular basis since its origin. The fact the invective is still an effective tactic for silencing dissent explains its continuing popularity with propagandists. They wield it like a bull whip. Whooshtt — just crack it a few times in the direction of the crowd, and people nervously retreat to the safe confines of the Establishment’s approved narrative. Crack it a few more times and they start regurgitating the term themselves to affirm they are on side with the official story line. (Oh no, I’m not one of those crazy, tin-foil hat people).  

A conversational road block

Over the past three years, many of us have been trying to engage family, friends and acquaintances in serious conversations about the “plandemic” and the risks of the vaxx. We were concerned that they could be caught up in the tide of relentless media propaganda and persuaded to line up for the shot. But we often encountered psychological barriers and emotional barriers; many were hesitant to even consider the possibility of an alternative explanation. You may have been rebuffed with something like: “conspiracy theories don’t really interest me”. Or perhaps the person justified their decision by saying, “Sorry, I’m not a conspiracy theorist.” The implication here is that anyone proposing an alternative to the official state-approved narrative (you included) is a “conspiracy theorist.” At that point, does one simply surrender the individual to the all powerful Propaganda Machine? Or just ignore the toxic term and push on, risking abrupt termination of the conversation and/or damage to the relationship?

In early 2021, I made a mental list of all those I might persuade to consider the risks linked to the experimental Covid injection. A gifted young man of 16 or 17 years from my church came to mind. If I could keep him from becoming canon fodder in the information war, I would. So I gave “Shawn” a telephone call. I’d just barely led into the reason for my call when he signalled he wasn’t one of those conspiracy theorists regarding the vaxx. An immediate “oh shit” pang hit me in the gut. It was as if Shawn had been pre-emptively inoculated against the truth by Big Pharma propagandists. What to do? I decided to stop mid-stream and alert Shawn to the ploy he had unconsciously fallen prey to. The next part of our conversation went along these lines:

Me: Do you know the origin of the term you just used? 

Shawn: What term is that?

Me: “Conspiracy theorist”… Here’s a bit of history as to how and why the term was stigmatized and why it matters. 

(I subsequently offered a brief explanation regarding the use of the term and encouraged him to exercise restraint concerning the vaxx.). Here’s the fuller version of that history according to Mark Crispin Miller.

The weaponizing of “conspiracy theorist”, “conspiracy theory”

Mark Crispin Miller is a professor of media studies at New York University where he teaches courses in propaganda. (Ironically, the university administration is engaged in a court battle with Miller regarding his speech rights.) Miller was recently interviewed by Greg Hunter of  USA Watchdog. Here’s a transcript of a portion of that interview where Crispin Miller describes the historic, shrewd  weaponization of the words, “conspiracy theory,” and “conspiracy theorist” by the CIA. 

“A turning point for lying to the country was what happened in the aftermath of the JFK assassination in Dallas, Texas in 1963. MCM explains, ‘There was the smashing success of the CIA’s drive to make ‘conspiracy theory’ the phrase of choice, to dismiss inconvenient notions, to dismiss taboo ideas. . . . In 1967 . . . the CIA sent out its memo ‘1035-960.’  It’s online and anyone can find it.  It instructed all the CIA station chiefs worldwide to use their propaganda assets and friends in the media . . . to start attacking the writings of these few investigators who started to raise really good questions about the Warren Report, concerning the assassination of JFK in Dallas. . . . Their problem was people pointing out the Warren Report was completely incredible.  It was laughable. . . . The Executive Summary of the Warren Report didn’t seem to bear any resemblance to information in the other volumes.  There were all kinds of contradictions within it, and it didn’t make any sense.  They were basically calling for a new commission.  

What did the CIA do?  It got its people to mount a covert propaganda drive where politicians and journalists started to take potshots at these critics.  They called them ‘conspiracy theorists.’  This term was never used before 1967* . . . and what it meant was you are crazy. . . . There were many (CIA) talking points in this memo.  One was you were echoing communist propaganda and that kind of thing.  This was a wildly successful operation, and it did not stop. . . . That phrase would continue to be used and was used after the assassination of Bobby Kennedy.  It was used after Martin Luther King’s assassination.  It was used during Iran Contra. . . .  conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory, it was used certainly after 9/11 . . . .and now if you quarrel with an outcome in an election, you are a conspiracy theorist. . . . To be called a conspiracy theorist is a form of mockery.  It’s the whole tin foil hat thing. You are kind of crazy.’”

*Note: Miller subsequently elaborates saying the US press had used the term conspiracy theory occasionallybut not “systematically” or,  presumably not in a weaponized way before 1987. He suggests that the term, conspiracy theorist had not been used prior to 1987.

Challenging the use of CIA epithets 

The “safe and effective” lie is sustained by the constant barrage of “conspiracy theorist” “conspiracy theory” smear attacks on those who dare to challenge it. And because of the protection given to the lie, millions of vaxxed individuals were injured and died world wide. This diabolical war of words has already produced more casualties than many previous kinetic wars. The casualties will continue to mount as long as the victims remain illiterate regarding of the rhetorical weaponry being used against them. 

The next time a family member, friend, acquaintance or someone in public office glibly uses the term conspiracy theory to disqualify your claims or uses the term conspiracy theorist to discredit you, I urge you to immediately confront the use of the term. Why give a free pass to the glib recitation of a CIA-invented invective? Again, there are lives at stake. What is a reasonable tact? I suggest that you counter with two simple questions: Specifically: “Why are you introducing an old CIA smear into the conversation?” And, “wouldn’t we stand a better chance of getting to the truth if we respectfully debated the actual evidence?” 

We’re approaching the 60th anniversary of the assassination of JFK (November 22, 2023). We can honour JFK’s memory by standing firm in our resolve to uncover and share the truth in all matters, including his murder, and by remaining unmoved by the “conspiracy theorist” insult. Consider it a badge of honour. As the satirical axiom goes, “Yesterday’s conspiracy theory = today’s conventional wisdom.”

“Remember my children that all the Earth must belong to us Jews, and that the Gentiles, being mere excrements of animals, must possess nothing.” — Mayer, Amschel Rothschild on his deathbed, 1812 (as quoted in a May 2023 Henry Makow report) 

“I know how much you suffer and how poor you are, but you are rich. I also know the cruel things being said about you by people who claim to be God’s people. But they are not really God’s people. They are a group that belongs to Satan.” (— Revelations 2:9, CEV) 

The “Powers-that-Be” jig-saw puzzle

Some people are afflicted with an insatiable desire to know the truth concerning what’s really going on in the world. They are intrigued with the “Big Picture” and players both on the world stage and behind the curtain. Consequently, they routinely ignore the official narratives and the “nothing to see” here” deflections of officialdom. In fact, they interpret the dismissive Establishment gesture as a sign that vital truths are being paved over and insist on digging deeper. I must confess that I am a life long analyst-puzzler of this variety. 

I attribute my analytic tendencies to my dad and his appetite for grappling with questions concerning the big picture politics that appeared to govern our world. My affinity for dot-connection traces back to our many father-son conversations during my youth growing up on the farm. Dad read a lot about the Illuminati and often ventured undeterred into politically-incorrect no-go zones. Thus, his questions about the machinations of the Rothschilds and their Illuminati brethren and how the world really works, ultimately became mine.

I no doubt wondered about the PTB’s unquestioned right to rule, their invisible political control system and their twisted morality. How was it (humanly) possible that while most us regarded war as “hell” and resisted it, Rothschild “banksters” and their minions systematically turned what amounts to slaughter into windfall profits? And most importantly, how exactly were they planning to herd us into the political corral of their one world order? The questions vastly outnumbered the answers. But these conversations in the late sixties and early seventies sparked a life-long quest to piece together a daunting puzzle. The problem was that some critical information pieces were missing.

After a career of more than four decades, my retirement in March of 2015 provided an opportunity to explore some of the questions raised with Dad more than 50 years earlier. Two things had changed markedly by 2015 however. First, the Internet-www had bestowed us with a treasure trove of new information. It also brought the eyes of an army of truth seekers to bear on the machinations of the Powers-That-Be. Second, their plans for destruction of Western nations and our collective enslavement under a single world government were much clearer. This plan was subsequently reflected in the form of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset initiative in June of 2020.

By 2016, the signs of the impending collapse of the  American Empire and it’s vassal states (including Canada) were inescapable. To say that I was “alarmed” was an understatement. In a state of near-panic, I emailed my list of troubling developments to the slate of Conservative candidates running for leadership of the party in 2017. Surely, some of these opposition party politicians would share my concerns. The silence was deafening. I concluded that while our democracy had been taken captive, (and all of us with it), I could and should at least publish my research findings on my website. Perhaps a future historian, sifting the ashes of our once-flourishing society, might care to know our fate. Futurescapes.ca

Symptoms of a sickly empire 

On January 16, 2018, in an essay entitled “Exposing the Empire of Lies”, I published my personal assessment of the decaying state of the American Empire. “Part A” of that assessment identified the following seven symptoms of decline and dysfunction. 

  • An unelected Deep State government; 
  • An imaginary democracy
  • Treasonous, war criminal presidents; 
  • Compromised puppet politicians;
  • A police state variety of policing;
  • Extreme surveillance (of citizens); and
  • Rigged elections

A week later, I published “Part B” listing an additional seven symptoms.

  • Frankenstein security agencies;
  • Government-orchestrated terrorism and fake terrorists;
  • Machiavellian foreign policy;
  • a CIA- infiltrated propaganda-peddling media;
  • Fake (PR fabricated) heroes;
  • Think tanks that can’t think; and
  • Weaponized weather

The inventory of symptoms was far from complete; many other signs of terminal illness were apparent. But the list was sufficient to present an overall picture of dysfunction, decline and impending death. My conclusion at the time reads: 

“Collectively they (the above symptoms) reveal an America that is compromised, corrupt, captive and controlled. Beneath the many layers of veneer we have found corrupt institutions infested with treasonous leaders and parasitic domestic and foreign interests. Collectively, they are killing the host.  

The parasites have invaded the brain of their host and turned it into a dangerous, out-of-control monster that’s bringing death and destruction throughout the world in its wake. This monster endangers us all.”

“We also find enslaved and deluded citizens. The trusting and distracted citizens of the Empire have provided plausible explanations for the implausible, glossed over the anomalies and lies, ignored their gut and given the benefit of the doubt where it wasn’t warranted. Thus, they are complicit in constructing and maintaining the walls of their own prison.” (Exposing the Empire of Lies, Part B)

The “parasite” piece of the puzzle revealed

Recent world events confirm the accuracy of my 2018 diagnosis — as far as it went. But the diagnosis stopped short of naming the parasitic forces eating the American Empire. Who or what was reducing the US, Canada and other Western nations to sickly shadows of their former selves? In 2014, intelligence analysts associated with Veterans Today (VT) magazine dropped a bomb reframing the “terrorism” problem and revealing the identity of the parasite. The setting was an international conference in Damascus on combatting terrorism and religious extremism. 

VT analyst, Preston James named the whistleblower and described the occasion. “Gordon Duff was part of a VT Senior Staff Delegation that traveled to Damascus and was in consultation with the VT Board and other like-minded individuals within the American Military and Intelligence community and other such individuals from sixty-eight different nations around the world who were at the Conference.

…This keynote address delivered by Gordon Duff was historic because for the very first time ever a Top Intel and Security Consultant publicly explained how the problem with ISIS/Daish is not terrorism but is Crime. He clarified that ISIS/Daish is a result of the Criminal Behavior of an Israeli-based International Crime Syndicate which essentially bought control over the US Congress during the last election.” (This criminal entity was subsequently described as the world’s largest crime syndicate). 

The hidden history of the Khazars

Subsequent research by VT analysts linked the Israeli-based crime syndicate to a secret chapter of history and a people called the Khazars. The latter are described as: “…a semi-nomaide Turkic people that in the late 6th-century CE established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia, southern Ukraine, Crimea and Kazakhstan.” (Wikipedia). Until relatively recently, the dark history of the Khazars was a closely-guarded secret. In a 2017 article entitled Khazarians then, Khazarians now, Preston James and Mike Harris examined Khazar history. Among other things, they revealed a cultural predisposition to prey upon foreign neighbours and an historic reputation as the “world’s greatest imposters.” 

Keeping their history and modus operandi secret from the rest of the world has been of critical importance to modern day Khazarians intent on maintaining their dominant role in the world. Secrecy is an essential basis of power. The show is over once the hand of the puppet master is exposed. James and Harris comment:

“The present-day KM knows that it cannot operate or exist without abject secrecy, and therefore has spent a lot of money having its history excised from the history books in order to prevent citizens of the World from learning about its “Evil beyond imagination”, that empowers this World’s largest Organized Crime Cabal.”   

Thankfully, Alexander Solzhenitsyn documented much of it. As Khazar history and lineage becomes known, the spell is broken and their position as controllers erodes. Because their devious quest to rule the world has largely been realized, one could argue Khazar history should be required reading for every schoolchild. Actually, the entire world must become familiar with KM origins and history, strategies enabling its ascent to world dominance, and Luciferian religious practices (including blood drinking). Clearly, humanity’s prospects for freeing itself from KM tyranny depend upon it.

One translation of a line in the biblical book of Amos 4: v 6 reads: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” The assertion takes on a good deal more meaning now in the fourth year of the KM- managed mRNA genocide. A combination of ignorance and self-imposed blindness has brought Christians — all of humanity in fact to the edge of a yawning abyss. More on this to follow.

A perennially predatory people 

Preston James and Mike Harris offer some historic insights into the character, reputation and tactics of the Khazars. “During this time (100-800 AD), Khazarians became known to surrounding countries as thieves, murderers, road bandits, and for assuming the identities of those travelers they murdered as a normal occupational practice and way of life.”

James explains that when surrounding nations (including Russia and Persia) wearied of Khazar predation on their citizens, they demanded that the latter adopt as a nation one of the three Abrahamic religions. As the story goes, their leaders chose Judaism but continued practicing their Satanic Babylonian rituals, including child sacrifice. James describes these religious practices as a a hybrid melding Luciferian black magick and Judaism into Babylonian Talmudism. 

Finally, in about 1200 AD, Russia and other nations bordering Khazaria, invaded in order to bring an end to Khazar predation. The Khazarian leadership were tipped off and escaped to the West with their fortunes in gold and silver. They laid low, regrouped under new identities and plotted their “eternal revenge” against those that had driven them from their homeland (Emphasis: “Eternal revenge”). The rest of the story concerns their strategic infiltration of positions of power and influence in every key sector of every major nation. The thumbprint of Khazarian influence can be found in corporate media, public education, banking and finance, politics and governance, entertainment, foreign policy, publishing, and Big Pharma. The descendants of the Khazarians, the Ashkenazi and their minions now rule the world. 

Cunning name stealers and imposters 

The key to Khazarian dominance has been its management of the world’s central banking system and using it to control credit, politicians, governments,  intelligence agencies and military forces. We have cited the Khazarians’ reputation as imposters or “name stealers.” This derived from their habit of killing foreigners and their families and assuming their names in order to steal their estates. This same tactic has been successfully employed by the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia (RKM) over centuries up to and including the present day. 

Preston James points to an obvious example. The Khazarians have wrapped themselves in Judaism, but actually practice Babylonian Talmudism. But the cover afforded by identifying as “Jews” and wielding the holocaust narrative like a shield has served their dark cause well. Who dares question the abusive anti-Palestinian policies of Israel, or its leaders or question the zealously promoted holocaust narrative or holocaust “industry”, as Norm Finkelstein describes it? Who dares risk the incendiary “anti-semite” smear? Until now, it’s only been the very brave. That said, this political weapon is steadily losing its ability to intimidate truth seekers and suppress the hard facts bubbling to the surface. 

Paradoxically, or perversely, the enthusiastically-applied term,“anti-semite” itself is a misnomer and involves identity theft. Why?…because the majority of Judaics in Isreal aren’t semites. But the Palestinians are.

“Recent peer-reviewed Johns Hopkins genetic research by a respected Judaic MD shows that 97.5% of Judaics living in Israel have absolutely no ancient Hebrew DNA, are therefore not Semites, and have no ancient blood ties to the land of Palestine at all. By contrast, 80% of Palestinians carry ancient Hebrew DNA and thus are real Semites, and have ancient blood ties to Palestinian Land. This means that the real anti-Semites are the Israelis who are stealing Palestinian lands in order to build Israeli settlements, and it is the Israelis who are the ones tyrannizing and mass-murdering innocent Palestinians.” (Preston James)

Jewish author, Arthur Koestler notes: “I have compiled the historical evidence which indicates that the bulk of Eastern Jewry — and hence of world Jewry — is of Khazar-Turkish, rather than Semitic, origin. In the last chapter I have tried to show that the evidence from anthropology concurs with history in refuting the popular belief in a Jewish race descended from the biblical tribe.”

Elan Elhaik, a geneticist from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, called for a rewrite of the assumptions regarding Jewish ancestry in his 2012 study. “Instead of being primarily the descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel, present-day Jewish populations are, finds Elhaik, primarily the children of a Turkish people who lived in what is now Russia, north of Georgia, east of Ukraine. This civilization, the Khazars, converted from tribal religions to Judaism between the 7th and 9th centuries.”

The RKM reflexively play the “Judaism” card, but are actually Luciferian Khazars. That’s some serious name stealing.” 

The Rothchild Khazarian Mafia (RKM) playbook 

The playbook whereby the RKM puppet-masters manage the world is ancient and well-worn. Its volumes would fill libraries. Among other strategies, it includes: infiltrating secret societies (like the Freemasons); infiltrating Christian institutions, running sex compromise operations (the Epstein model), spying, and covert surveillance, media censorship, running smear campaigns, bribery, blackmail, historical revisionism, intimidation, political lobbying, lying (and lying about its lies), political theatre, psychological projection, framing political false dichotomies (Red versus Blue politics), industrial scale propagandizing and digital and physical assassination. The “mafia” suffix is entirely appropriate when it comes to describing KM tactics.

The KM are objectively master magicians skilled in the arts of deception, disguise and distraction. If it were not for these particular talents, their nefarious plans for the destruction of (Christian) Western nations would have been exposed long ago. One of the KM’s favourites tactics is playing the “cry-bully”. Have you noticed how Israel has mastered the tactic of bullying its neighbours while simultaneously claiming victimhood? It’s like the school yard bully who bowls you over while shouting “ouch, you’re hurting me” and then calls for the principal. 

Another more subtle RKM tactic is that of high-jacking legitimate (virtuous) causes. Poverty, discrimination and racism are examples of legitimate causes the KM has attached itself to. But a closer look reveals that over time, the KM divert the charitable intent of organizations in this realm to its own purposes. The weaponization of the good is standard KM operating procedure. It’s perverse but it works. The term, “hate grifter” has been added to the lexicon to flag the deceptive moral posturing of agencies like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC) and others in the hate industry. Dr. Alan Sabrosky examines this trickery in Weaponizing Antisemitism: From Victim to Predator (below).

Another odious KM tactic is public self-injury. It’s not uncommon for police forces to discover that the latest “anti-semtic” attack on headstones, commercial property or personal property was initiated by its supposed victims. There’s no doubt some deeper pathology at play here, perhaps it’s a case of Munchausen Syndrome, as it appears to be an attempt to draw public sympathy for the Jewish brand. Suffice to say, hold the tears the next time you hear a Jewish member of the hate industry shout “anti-semitism” until self-sabotage has been ruled out.

The KM have proven themselves to be specialists at weaponing every feature of our existence and element of our society. Consider how rare sexual aberrations have been turned into ideological clubs. Look closer and you are likely to find that monetization is also at play. The daily onslaught of in-your-face transgenderism isn’t a surging biological twist or organic development. It’s a KM project being turned into a profitable industry. Perversely, the project is marketed as “care” even as confused young people are being surgically and hormonally maimed by the KM-run pharma-medical establishment. For more on the trans sleight of hand, see Daniel McAdams’ “From trans rights to trans entitlements: A threat to civil society” (below)

Futurist, Clif High describes this disingenuous pretence as a symptom of Munchhausen Syndrome by Proxy. It’s diabolical brilliance as the victims are being turned into customers for life benefitting the predatory medical industrial complex. For more on the transgender profiteers, see: “The rich white men institutionalizing transgender Ideology” (below).

 A track record of mendacity, murder and moral mayhem 

The awakened truther community must take on the massive challenge of exposing the dark history and devious criminal undertakings of the KM. This article can merely hint at the scope and depth of KM involvement in the decline of the West and its many “achievements” to date. 

Henry Makow, an ethnic Jew, states unequivocally, “Organized Jewry’s business model is parasitism.” There’s abundant evidence of the destructive influence of the extractive KM business model in both Western and developing nations. Financial analyst, Dr. Jim Willie describes the pattern of KM conquest and parasitism in developing nations like Iraq. It’s a pattern of: “invade a nation, engage in pilferage of its gold and other assets, destroy its infra-structure, then fund its reconstruction, but with the majority of funds stolen by the elites.” 

Every nation under KM control staggers under mountains of debt as the KM Babylonian Money Magick debt system collapses. Their public institutions have been hijacked and pillaged and cherished freedoms stolen. Their children are being indoctrinated by cultural Marxists and groomed by sexual deviants. It’s systemic, right across the West. Up is down, white is black, evil is good truth is censored, truth-tellers oppressed and Christian moral values displaced with Satanic counterfeits. A KM-engineered inversion prevails.

The moral inversion can be traced back to Sabbatai Zevi who declared himself to be the messiah of the Jews in the 1660’s. This self-declared messiah ordered Jews to blaspheme the Torah. Zev declared that debauchery is theology, and every word in the Torah is true in the opposite sense. Thus, “Do not kill means to kill. Do not adulter became do adulter.” For more on the history and influence of Sabbatai Zev and Jacob Frank (his successor and second self-declared messiah), see “The History of Sabbatean Jews and their relationship to Rothschild and Satanic Acts” (see sources)

Dr. Friederich Karl Wiehe makes a striking observation regarding the sexual decadence characterizing Weimer Germany at the zenith of Jewish power in Germany. Specifically: “The decay of moral values in all areas of life—the period of deepest German degradation—coincided exactly with the height of Jewish power in Germany.” (See “The Sexual Decadence of Weimar Germany.”)

Notably, it was during the Weimer era that the notorious Frankfurt School was established producing radicals intent on turning the world upside down. Today, it’s not hard to find KM acolytes committed to inverting Western traditions, values and institutions. The traditional family and Christian values have been targets for decades. California state senator Scott Weiner is a standard bearer for this mission. Weiner recently put his weight behind a bill that “would alter family law to permit courts in custody disputes to weigh against a parent their refusal to affirm a child’s gender identity, considering this in conflict with the health, safety and welfare of a child.” Parental rights and responsibilities be damned!

The descendants of the Khazarians, like their forefathers, have an insatiable appetite for blood. and power. John Kaminski attributes a litany of historic, frequently bloody, political coups to “Jewish subversion and sabotage”. His list includes: the takeover of the bank of England by the Rothschilds; the engineering of the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution (leading to the murder of 100 million Christians); the creation of Mao (murderer of 60 million Chinese); both world wars; 9/11; and the Covid pandemic. As if to put an exclamation point on Kaminski’s charges, a recent report credits Henry Kissinger with being responsible for three million deaths worldwide.

Kissinger is also a prophet it seems. Consider this Kissinger prognostication:

“Once the herd accepts mandatory vaccinations, it is game over. They will accept anything, forcible blood or organ donation, all for the greater good. We can genetically modify children and sterilize them, again for the greater good. Control sheep minds and you control the herd. Vaccine makers stand to make $billions. And many of you in this room are investors. It is a big win-win. We thin out the herd and the herd pays us for extermination services.” ~ (Henry Kissinger at WHO Council on Eugenics, 25 February 2009, since deleted from the archives in order to avoid confirmation).

Kissinger’s 2009 diabolical prediction has become our nightmare. The on-going Covid vaxx genocide will set new records. The devastation boggles the mind. A current estimate puts the total number of vaxx-related deaths at 20,000,000 and the number of injuries at 2 billion. The fact that “the authorities” have not yet brought it to a halt is a testament to global reach of KM-control. It can only persist however as long as the entranced masses exhibit a corresponding level of “Elephant Blindness” of the “elephant-in-the-room” variety. For a list of KM-orchestrated genocides, see: An abridged list of fastidiously planned genocides carried out by the Khazarian Cabal (below). 

For those with eyes to see, Jews are the dominant players in the Pharma industry and have played key roles in the Vaxx genocide. Larry Romanoff states: “...the major pharmaceutical companies are all Jewish, and certainly the makers of the vaccines. A Rothschild owns the huge conglomerate Sanofi, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer, and both Pfizer and Moderna are Jewish companies. As well, the largest apparent shareholders of Pfizer, Moderna and Gilead stock are Blackrock, Blackstone, and Vanguard, themselves Jewish companies. I use the word “apparent” because often shares are held in trust for the actual beneficial owners to shield them from public scrutiny.” (See: The Power Behind the Throne: https://www.bluemoonofshanghai.com/politics/11277/)

This article just scrapes the surface. KM influence is like a massive iceberg with most of its mass submerged beneath the surface. Its plans for our future continue to unfold. The path that the KM have selected for the future of humanity is A.I.-driven technological totalitarianism. KM disciple, Yuval Noah Harari wonders what can be done with the useless humans Harari and WEF friends have written out of their A.I.-driven, Utopian dreams. Undoubtedly, those seeking to have all humanity electronically ID chipped, genetically-modified and continuously monitored and mind controlled remain committed to their plans to create Humanity 2.0. 

Those wishing to examine the unique genetic origins of the KM may wish to read, The Whole Magella: How the Khazarian Cabal has effectively controlled Ashkenazi Jewry so it can rule Planet Earth from behind the veil. See in particular, My Theory of Everything as it relates to Genesis and contemporary Zionists and Jews — Part 2”. https://stateofthenation.co/?p=156511 (Christian readers are encouraged to fasten their seat belts before plunging in.) 

One of the more intriguing observations made by the author of the above is that our DNA serves as an antennae connecting us to our Creator. This brings us back to the gene-altering mRNA injection campaign. Can anyone guess why a psychopathic Cabal interested in enslaving humanity might want to mess with our DNA antennae and our soul connection to God?   

Explaining the unexplained — some mysteries solved

Plumbing the depths of RKM depravity and scope of its dystopian campaigns will take years — likely decades. Yet, even before attempting such a task, it’s clear that the KM puzzle piece explains much of what once resisted logical explanation. A quick example is the implacable anti-Russia, anti-Iran policy push of Washington’s neocons (led by descendants of the Kazars). For decades, the Neocon policy has been perennially hostile to Russian and Iranian interests. No level of economic sanctions against these countries for their supposed geopolitical “sins” ever satisfied Neocon appetites. The obvious explanation is that this is a case of seeking revenge against an old enemy. 

An article by Jonas E. Alexis first appearing in Veterans Today in April of 2023, put it this way. “Why has the COL/RKM been obsessed for over 200 years with destroying Persia (now Iran) and Mother Russia? Apparently, it is because both Persia and Russia destroyed Khazaria after warning them to stop murdering and robbing travelers who passed through Khazaria as a central travel nexus. Some insider experts believe that the RKM is still obsessed with forever destroying Persia (Iran) and Russia for their destruction of Khazaria in the 1200s AD.”

Mike Harris of VT gets the credit for unearthing the vital connection between KM history and the machinations of their descendants today. His discovery can be considered a superb example of cold case investigation. Preston James observes: “It was Mike Harris that connected the dots and made the actual discovery of the presence of the Khazarian Mafia’s secret history and blood oath to take revenge on Russia for helping Americans win the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, and their blood oath of revenge against America and Americans for winning these wars and sustaining the Union.” 

Thus, the Russia conflict in Ukraine may amount to a kind of “bookending” or circling back in centuries long Russian-RKM relations. The Russia Ukraine/Nazi/NATO conflict is a microcosm of the larger planetary revolt against RKM rule by an awakening humanity. We can think of this larger struggle as the culmination of thousands of years of enslavement and abuse. While it has physical dimensions, it’s more than that. Many analysts have described this as a spiritual war between light and dark and good versus evil.

The KM puzzle piece also explains the Zombie performance of the US Congress. It’s members — perhaps as many as 60% or more —  have been bribed, sex-compromised and thus controlled for decades. The fact many members hold dual US-Israeli citizenship with their first allegiance to Israel further facilitates KM control of Congress. See: US Congress — A Khazarian-controlled global crime syndicate below.

Another “mystery” explained is the the systematic destruction of the traditional family, abuse of all things “Christian” and celebration of fringe sexual proclivities. In retrospect, the debauchery of the Weimar era at time of peak Jewish influence is instructive and not easily dismissed as a coincidence. The parallel with today’s sexual depravity on full display during Pride month is inescapable. One again, it’s at a time when Jewish influence in corporate media, business, arts and culture, entertainment, education, politics, government and finance appears to be an an all time high. We didn’t reach this point in our collective downward spiral by accident. The Khazarian-Sabbatean-Frankist agents of moral inversion were busy working toward that end. See “Washington DC solidifies its reputation as yet another American Sodom and Gomorrah.

These are just a few examples among perhaps hundreds of “mysteries” the KM piece is solving. The mysteries solved includes a long list of murders which have now been linked to the KM, their allies including the Rockefellers and their minions. (Think JFK, RMK, MLK and more). See: Operation Baby Boomer: The Con of the 20th Century (below)

It’s now or never 

We’ve reached a pivotal point in human history. The diagnosis is clear. The once mighty American Empire is infested with a deadly parasite that has reduced it to a state of near-death. Henry Makow names the disease and its cause,  “A cancer is destroying Western civilization. That cancer is the Masonic Jewish central bankers who control money creation and consequently all social institutions. Our “leadership” represents a corrupt occult power within. We can’t even recognize it because our institutions have been subverted.”

I suggest that the unmasking of the RKM parasite, it’s goals and its methods could one day be considered the most important revelation of our time. Many, if not most in the awakened liberty-truther community have yet to come to terms with its significance. And the majority of the masses remains captive of the the RKM matrix of lies and oblivious to it. A certain sign of this is the continued widespread public acceptance of the RKM-Ashkenazi control system in all its forms and misguided reverence for the “People of God” imposters. Let’s face it; the KM-Zionist-Israeli propaganda machine is a formidable weapon of mass (mind) destruction easily rendering critical matters “undiscussable” and Zionist aggression invisible to much of the world.

This, along with a plethora of other Apocalyptic revelations on deck will inevitably be more than many people are prepared or able to digest. Remember, the eye can only see what the mind is prepared to comprehend. That said, “real” Jews, Gentiles and humanity in general will all be beneficiaries of the Parasite revelation. Thankfully, there is a growing awareness of Great KM Deception across the world, that’s reportedly taking hold among the citizens of Israel. 

The KM-Ashkenazi con has continued for far too long. It’s time for both Christians and non KM-aligned Jews to end their enabling roles and complicity in the KM deception and thus their own destruction. Zionists of all varieties including the Christian variety must come to terms with the fact the Ashkenazi Jews are not descendants of the biblical Hebrews and cannot claim modern day Israel or other territories based on a fabricated or stolen lineage. (Clearly, encroachment on Palestinian land must end.) 

It’s also time for the world to reject the “six million Jews” version of the Holocaust narrative and dispel its burden of false guilt weighting on Christians in particular. The distortion has been been effectively used to protect RKM interests, repel truth seekers and critics and keep Jews onside in a state of perpetual paranoia. Norm Finkelstein concludes that the holocaust narrative has been turned into an extortion racket. The narrative, tattered as it is, remains largely intact not because of its veracity, but because it is the gift that literally keeps on giving.

More than one source points us to a more credible estimate and more inclusive picture of the casualties from the holocaust. This one states that the total number is about “1.6 to 1.8 million Jews killed along with about 4 million non-Jews in WWII.”) See note on Holocaust below.

I would would also encourage the goyim to abandon what Lynda Burnstein Brayer, author of “Zionism, Judaism and the Jewish State of Israel” calls the “politically-concocted” “Judeo-Christian” descriptor as the implied heritage does not hold. While Christians view the old Testament and New Testament as “standard-setting texts”, Judaism does not. Burnstein Bayer concludes Judaism and Christianity do not share a parent child relationship nor an older sibling/younger sibling relationship.

I suggest that Christians have been impaired by a kind of spiritual victimology arising from their over-identification with easily-misled sheep and guileless doves. Matthew 10:16 reads: “Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves.” It seems the Christian interpretation of the paradox is skewed toward the passivity of sheep and doves. If that is the totality of Christian identity, extortion, exploitation and extinction are certainties. In light of our current captive state, the need to be as shrewd or wary as snakes is a necessary counter to the predation of hungry KM wolves.

The discovery of the explosive “Parasite” puzzle piece now visible to the world is rewriting history past, present and future. The actions taken in light of it this revelation will be critical and genuinely a matter of life or death significance for humanity. Khazarian history, right up to the current vaxx bio-war/genocide and reign of terror, tells us there are no half-ways or compromises to be made with the Satan-worshipping KM death cult. It’s time to staunch the bleeding, come together and forever purge the KM parasite and its acolytes from our midst. Until we do, humanity will remain trapped in the current nightmare and the Great Awakening an elusive dream. 

— Calvin 

A note on the Holocaust: 

“If you’re American you may have observed that soon after WWII, the Jews moved in to every city and state and began to take control of education and policy. Within 20-30 years they were able to dominate all institutions, media, and banking in the U.S. – and they did this by preying on the sympathy of Christian Americans – they took the holocaust narrative THAT far – and it worked. 

(Yes, the holocaust really happened, but not to 6 million Jews; 1.6 to 1.8 million Jews were killed along with about 4 million non-Jews during WWII). The secret is that the Jewish leaders, the Khazars, offered up their own people in this sacrifice, because their “own people” were not actually just like them, they were considered inferior by the Draco-Reptilian Khazars. Europe’s Ashkenazis at that time were already products of hybridization – by both hyper-dimensional Anunnaki, centuries before, AND actual genetic experiments (DNA splicing) – condoned by God (but practiced by a Beast who doesn’t like rules)”. https://stateofthenation.co/?p=15651

Was an inflection point in the war just reached? (May 29, 2023)

Was an inflection point in the war just reached?  

It can be difficult in the fog of war to discern if there’s been a shift in the tide, because all wars are swirling tornadoes of deception. But, we’ve seen glimpses of sanity in the last two weeks prompting me to wonder if the wind has shifted against the global establishment 

I’m the last guy in the world to prematurely declare, “mission accomplished.” And I’m not going to suggest the war is over, or even that the end is in sight. There’s always the potential for diabolical twists. (Remember the Russian parable concerning the sparrow trapped inside the frozen cow paddy in winter who “escapes” into the waiting mouth of a coyote. No, not all those who seemingly come to rescue you are your friends.) 

Some surprising and encouraging signs nonetheless, are: 

  • RFK’s truthful framing of the US corporatocracy crisis;
  • CNN’s airing a truthful reference to the Durham report;
  • a headline from the typically war-mongering NY Times declaring: “The US should be a force for peace in the world”
  • more medical and media whistleblowers coming to the fore; 
  • Canadian parents pulling their kids out of public school rather than submit to “LGBT..QRST and sometimes Y” indoctrination; 
  • Dr. Jim Willie (in his financial “Golden Jackass” newsletter) says: “Take hope as victory is near. Numerous positive vectors are evident. Several stakes have been put in the heart of the globalist cabal”; 
  • Five Republican counties political parties in Florida passed resolutions declaring …all mRNA ‘vaccines’ “biological and technological weapons”;  
  • more institutions are rejecting transgender therapy and surgery for minors;
  • a report that Germany is turning against the EU’s Green New Deal; and 
  • the relentless French resistance to Macron’s rule, etc.

I’m not suggesting any of the above is a reason to relent or relax. I’m certainly not suggesting that you slow your preparation for the disruption and transition ahead. The struggle for truth, justice and liberty continues unabated, revitalized with a few fresh breaths of air. 

Breaking the Vaccine Industry Bubble

Breaking the vaccine industry bubble… 

Calvin Mulligan, Futurescapes April 14, 2023 (c)

The most intriguing interview I heard this week was one conducted with an awake MD (“Dr. X”) who went undercover and attended a vaccine industry conference recently held in Washington DC. His goal in attending was to chat with participants in order to gain some insight into what they were thinking. Since he was venturing into the reified environment where “vaccine hesitancy” was probably regarded as either a sign of diminished mental capacity or a sin, Doctor X framed his questions as one of “them”, a true believer. His observations were telling to say the least.  

One troubling observation is that when Doctor X engaged with some physicians, he discovered they weren’t aware of the Covid injection harms recently reported in scientific journals. (So some of those who presumably chided dissenters for not “following the science” are not following the science.) Such ignorance can only serve as a source of temporary bliss, however. Imagine the cognitive dissonance that will overtake these individuals when an Oregon doctor’s research on vaccine correlations with childhood diseases becomes known! 

When a forum discussion turned to the subject of overcoming resistance to the Covid injection, Doctor X offered what he thought was a common sense suggestion. Specifically, why don’t “we” invite some of those dissenting professionals to join us and share their concerns. While Dr. X detected some quiet support for the suggestion among those in the audience, the moderator, presumably in alignment with conference organizers was quick to dismiss the suggestion. 

By the end of the first day, Dr. X concluded that conference attendees were sincere in their belief that they were helping the world and their cause a righteous one. Seemingly, they simply didn’t know what they were doing. Wow!

Dr. X’s observations certainly explain some things, like why Canada’s own Dr. Makis is reporting dozens of sudden deaths among Canadian physicians. In short, they drank the Kool Aid. They were naive, trusting believers, infected with a pathogen ravaging the body and reputation of a decaying medical-pharma industry. It also explains why my interior designer told me in late 2020 (before the vaxx was available) that two MD friends had already recommended it to her. In retrospect, it’s always good to ask the question; “Based on what?” in response to such a facile recommendation. 

Dr X’s account also explains why the medical profession continues to act as if it inhabits an alternate universe regarding the devastation caused by the Covid injections. (Lessons in how to at best, ignore, or at worst contribute to an ongoing genocide.) In fact, much of the industry does inhabit an alternate reality. The conference participants who dismissed the idea of dialogue and debate with dissenting colleagues are intent on pulling up the drawbridge and reinforcing the walls of their mental fortress where confirmation bias and group think prevail. Does this also suggest vaccine industry professionals suffer from delusions of white coat grandeur? In any case, while dismissing competing views may be the way of the “Wokeys,” it’s the opposite of what defines genuine scholars and true professionals. The latter would instead be inviting the questions and relishing rigorous debate. 

Doctor X’s report regarding his venturing into the vaccine industry bubble/matrix is both sad and angering given the fact this criminal enterprise has destroyed millions of lives worldwide. I recall a phrase from an old Bruce Cockburn song, “If I had a rocket launcher….” My paraphrase of the line would read, “If I had a truth cannon, I’d bombard the vaccine industry matrix of lies until it collapsed in a heap of rubble.” Can we at least pop its protective bubble?

Destruction, in nature, frees up space and nutrients to support new growth. And in that regard, I’d like to hear more about what the Canadian Health Alliance describes as “a parallel, integrated healthcare system, grounded in sound ethics, informed consent and freedom of choice.” I’d like to believe that this capsule description contains the seeds of much-needed change. It’s clearly time to consider how we can grow an alternative health care system free of the toxic influence of the vaxx industry.

Avoiding the monkey trap: the pain and the possibilities in letting go

Avoiding the Monkey Trap: The pain and the possibilities in letting go

Calvin Mulligan, March 9, 2023 Futurescapes in the 21st Century (c) all rights reserved

The group of aspiring preppers were reviewing their progress in preparing for the possibility of a major disruptive event in their lives. In today’s world, the “disruptive event” could be any one of several developments. It could, for example, be an EMP (electro magnetic pulse). An EMP would immediately shut down our country’s electronic infrastructure including our communication networks. Such a scenario could in turn require the prepared to abruptly vacate their homes as the social environment deteriorates and services collapse. (The story told in the book, One Second After by William R. Forstchen (2009) is premised on an EMP attack on the United States by a foreign enemy). One member of the group who I’ll call “Rob”, perhaps more mentally prepared than some of the others, urged his colleagues to get their act together and pick up the pace. He empathized that he had as many reasons as anyone to hold on to his current existence including his home and a fleet of valuable restored vehicles. But at the same time, he had accepted the fact he may have to leave it all behind at some point. 

Our struggle to confront big change

As a member of this group, I continued think about Rob’s comment. Having served as a futurist during my career, I was well aware of the tendency to adopt a “wait and see” posture even as threatening storm clouds build on the horizon. But what is it that predisposes this kind of denial or near paralysis in the face of obvious danger? A day later, it clicked. A lot of us resist coming to terms with the possibility of catastrophic change because we struggle to let go of the familiar and comfortable. 

We naturally resist the idea that in the current social and political context, we may have to let go of many of the amenities that are part of the good life we’re grown accustomed to. We’re attached to a lot more than homes and vehicles of course. There’s the prospect of leaving behind family members, friends, colleagues, businesses, financial interests and the familiarity of our community and facing an array of unknowns. It actually goes deeper than that. Ultimately, it means letting go of our plans for the future we imagined, plans that we may have lovingly crafted over several decades.  

Like many of you, I’ve had some up close and personal experience with letting go. While I had envisioned a “happy together” future for my wife and I, she had other plans. Our differing perceptions regarding the so-called “pandemic”, the vaxx and what it required of us was a decider. My decision was to share the results of my personal investigation of the fake pandemic and the dangerous vaxx with as many of my family members, friends and neighbours as I could. For her, that was clear evidence that I had experienced a mental breakdown, and time for her to exit our marriage. In the current taxing environment, grieving the loss seems like a luxury fraught with dangers I dare not risk. 

The necessity of letting go 

If we think about it, while the circumstances may differ, each of us has some prior experience in letting go. You may have had to let go of a job, when a former employer went bankrupt, or when you were laid off as part of corporate downsizing or government cost-cutting. You may had to let go when your employer restructured and asked you to take on an entirely new role. You might have had to let go when a loved one in your family passed. Or you may have had to let go when an accident left you with a debilitating injury. We often don’t have a say in the matter.

The obvious conclusion is that letting go is an essential if we are to move ahead in our life journey. Lingering in the past can give way to toxic regret, self-recrimination and resentment. And that becomes too much dead weight to lug into the future. Letting go frees the mind and spirit to come to terms with new realities and to recreate. The challenge isn’t exclusively human. The foremost management authority of the 20th century, (one of my intellectual mentors) Dr. Peter Drucker, considered letting go to be the essential discipline of successful organizations. Drucker put it this way:

“The first policy — and the foundation for all others — is to abandon yesterday.” (Management Challenges for the 21st Century, 1999)

On another occasion he observed: “If leaders are unable to slough off yesterday, to abandon yesterday, they simply will not be able to create tomorrow.”

And further…”It (innovation) also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do; to abandon rather than defend yesterday.”  

Drucker makes it clear that for organizations it’s either a case of sloughing off yesterday or certain death. The typewriter companies of the 20th century  famously clung to their product lines well beyond their respective best-before-dates. All of them were eventually overtaken by the computer revolution and their products relegated to the status of business antiques. Forbes magazine made this observation regarding the passing of Smith Corona: “Things might have been different had the company found the courage to shuck off its legacy”, as if channelling Peter Drucker himself. 

The Monkey Trap 

There’s an analogy in the natural world illustrative of the risks of holding on too long. It’s called the “Monkey trap.” It is said you can trap a monkey by putting a nut through a small hole in a gourd. The monkey reaches in and grabs the nut, but then his fist won’t fit back through the hole. Greedy monkeys will literally let themselves be caught rather than let go of the nut.”

A human equivalent is what’s metaphorically described as golden handcuffs. These are “benefits, typically deferred payments, provided by an employer to discourage an employee from taking employment elsewhere.” These benefits keep employees tethered to employers and roles long after the job satisfaction has evaporated. They may even predispose “handcuffed” employees to engage in practices inconsistent with their values. 

The possibility of embracing something better

I’m not suggesting a wholesale abandonment of every attachment in our lives. That would amount to throwing out the proverbial “baby with the bath water.” Westerners must protect vital spiritual and cultural legacy assets from the raping and pillaging by the Powers That Be and their obsessed minions. Some things are worth fighting for and even dying for. But it may be time to loosen our grip and even abandon completely many of the shiny bobbles and cheeply-veneered enticements of the culture.

It’s an opportune time to ask ourselves what things will be of enduring value in the next chapter. It may be time to reorient our personal vision and mission. I suspect that many in the freedom movement are delighted to discover God is offering them a higher calling and greater service to humanity. I asked a friend how many opportunities he had had to save another human being’s life before the Plandemic compared to the opportunities he now has to warn others away from injurious or deadly pharma prescriptions. No comparison.

I recently shared the thought with Dave, another member of our group, that letting go in psychological, emotional and physical terms was the real challenge. He laughed, saying that he had come to terms with that some time ago. Dave had experienced a succession of professional career assignments, earning at times what he described as “ridiculous” amounts of money. He had travelled widely and now reconciled himself to the likelihood his life could change dramatically. In anticipation of coming disruptive social, political and economic developments, he had liquidated some savings and purchased a remote piece of forested land, his new “happy place.” He recalled one of last summer’s best moments — sitting in the front entrance of his modest make-shift abode, basking naked in the warm sunshine. Sitting there, immersed in the unspoiled beauty of nature, he had never felt so free or alive in his entire life.  

Uncertainties are ever present, and Dave knows his decisions aren’t risk-free. But from this vantage point, it appears that he has escaped the lure of the monkey trap. Or, put in Caesarian terms, he’s waded in and crossed the proverbial Rubicon. Have you?
