Great Explanation of Where 666 Comes From

Here's a great article on the origin of the number of the beast "666". There were 36 babylonian gods. The sum of 1...36 is 666.

The symbols on the amulet look pretty familiar and masonic. It really seems plausible the Babylonian priesthood kept on trucking, and maybe existed before that empire.

The thing that got me thinking of it was the Eye Pet Goat video. It's opening scene shows a goat in a box with the mark of the Beast 666 barcode covering his third eye.

The Chinese Government Tortures People To Death and Harvests Their Organs

Many western corporations are supplicants to the Chinese government. They crow about civil rights of the LGBT community or this or that group to western audiences, but kowtow (a chinese word) to the commies in China for access to slave labor markets and the burgeoning Chinese middle class and the fake money from the Chinese central bank.

I really wasn't aware of how authoritarian China is. They have political prisoners, concentration camps, and persecute religious groups like Stalin's USSR. Every government in the world is some demonic, hellish thing, but some are actually worse than others.

China has several thousand people imprisoned for practicing a religion. They torture and execute people and harvest their organs. None of this really registers with the western public.

Tech Is Rust

We re-watched Veronica Mars about a month ago. I think that's actually a pretty good show. I'd say it's alt-media adjacent and is loaded with astrology symbolism, which I barely understand even after years of reading about that shit. 

It's relatively critical of The Beast system even though it is a product of the Beast. One of the things that's interesting about it is it's a time capsule of early 2000's technology. That was when people were just starting to be sucked into an alternate universe of screens and smartphones, but in the Veronica Mars days, they were still in a primitive, developing form. They really haven't changed much--screen resolution and processor speeds have increased, but people are still just doing the same stuff with them they were 20 years ago.

There's some inherent problem with technology that I've only begun to sniff out in my graying hair days. I think I would never have smelled it without encountering the ideas of a guy like Masanobu Fukuoka. I had a very clear thought in the early hours this morning--tech is basically a form of rust.

Almost every problem that's got a technology solution isn't really solved. It's replaced with more than one technology problem. For example, brushless motors have mostly replaced brushed motors in power tools. Also "cordless" lithium ion powered tools have almost completely replaced handheld power tools.

Brushless motors with lithium ion batteries opened up a whole new industry. All the problems associated with the older generation of tools, e.g. power cords and the need to replace brushes after years of frequent use, was replaced with a different set of problems. Now instead of replacing a brush, you have to replace failed $200 battery packs every year or two, or if the power electronics in the tool fails, which is a common problem, you replace the whole tool. The batteries are also more dangerous to property than almost any other widely used technology today. They can explode and catch on fire even when not in use, which is rare, but does happen.

The replacement of one set of problems with a different, larger set of problems also results in a bunch of make-work activity and resource depletion. Charging the batteries wastes power. The batteries self discharge. The batteries can easily overheat. The batteries require a management system (computer). To generate lots of power and torque requires large batteries that are easily as bulky as a cord, and ultimately, the tools are significantly slower and less powerful than a corded counterpart. 

 Technological advancement is really a misnomer. Technological expansion is a better description. It absorbs human life time and the resources of the earth as it expands.

Tech is Our Pyramids

This is the age of  Hermes. His adherents worship tech and money as their gods on Earth. The computer is the house of their god. Tech is our pyramids.

Our Wampum and the Big Flip

The most astonishing historical fact, in my opinion, of all extant history is how quickly the Iroquois Indians became dependent on money and luxury goods--it happened almost immediately after the first contact with European Settlers. Later on the United States' citizens became dependent on little money tokens to exploit the huge natural resources of the country. It's almost impossible to comprehend. In both cases, it was a clash of two civilizations that had no understanding of each other.

The Little House on the Prairie world of small towns and school houses and churches really couldn't comprehend the world of sodomite bankers and stock markets, and systematic lies and exploitation. Similarly, the natives couldn't comprehend the 17th century version of the Beast System.

The same thing can happen in reverse. A new civilization and consciousness can come in and wipe the Babylon Butt Fucking Banker system off the face of the new world just as mysteriously and easily as the Indians system was wiped off the continent.

NYC Human Rights Commission/Inquisitors

I had no idea NYC has a "human rights commission" or what that even means. Commie Canada has one. It's the body that fines and imprisons people for saying "nigger" or "faggot" or for reading a holocaust joke out loud... supposedly. I'm not sure how many people they've actually prosecuted or sentenced to hard labor in the Maple Forests. I think they rely on the threat of prosecution and the appearance of "authority" rather than the force of law, but maybe I'm wrong.

Anyway, the federal system in the US cuts both ways from a liberty and freedom point of view. A jurisdiction like NYC can try to override the 1st amendment, but will invariably fail after much time is wasted on a court case. It can also trump abuse from the federal gov't on behalf of citizens. Either way, the system gets what it wants--conflict and annoyance.

It really looks like the US is going to split up in some real way in the next several years. The big cities are parasitic centers of corporate commerce and sodomy. The rest of the country is home for families. The corporations are getting more political and in the opposite direction of the nation. The corporations are weak, physically, but have a lot of money tokens from the banks.

The politics of the corporations and cities is insane and makes no sense. It's like they are deliberately picking a fight. I'm still sticking with my white flight model, but maybe it'll become more conscious and antagonistic as institutions and cities become outposts of ideological and political nonsense.

Celestial Voyages YouTube Channel

I've been listening to the "Celestial Voyages" YouTube channel lately, which is an astro-mythology/astrology channel. The channel's proprietress has deep knowledge on the subject. I've dabbled in it for the past several years, but am a rank amateur.

The celestial mythology symbolism and terminology is everywhere in our culture today, and has been for thousands of years. The Game of Thrones, for example, is some version of that mythology. If you're not clued into the symbolism and terminology, the videos probably won't provide much useful information. After multiple years of studying this stuff, I can grasp some of the concepts, but miss many of the details.

The general idea is that the universe is not what it appears, and certainly is not strictly material. We're plugged into a system, basically, that has a manifestation in us, and in the stars, planets, sun and moon. The system doesn't operate on language--it operates on something else. It's more symbolic and poetic and prosaic, and in fact symbols, e.g. the symbols of astrology, are a better representation of the language of the universe and they speak directly to our unconscious mind. The planets and the sun and the moon are not just rocks and gas, they're alive and conscious and are components of this system.

How Tech Eats Civilization from Within

We have a large strawberry patch in the garden. Two seasons ago, it produced a lot of strawberries, but most were destroyed by slugs and snails. This season we took our 4 ducks to the garden every morning and they almost completely obliterated the slug and snail population. I think we harvested 90%+ of the strawberries that grew this year.

The ducks provide pest control, fertilizer, and eggs. We treat them like pets, so they get snacks and treats, but even with their fairly extravagant organic feed, their food costs are minimal. The "natural" approach to solving problems usually follows that pattern. It's really just grouping elements together to produce a new stable equilibrium. It seems plausible that grouping more components would yield an ever more stable system.

The "tech" solution, an engineered approach, works significantly differently. Since the components are all dead they require human labor as well as energy from some finite source to operate. They also create their own problems, e.g. needing maintenance, which spawns another ring of tech with all the same problems.

While the natural system tends to produce byproducts that are useful, e.g. the duck manure, the tech system produces harmful garbage and consumes energy.

Tech is really a vampire in disguise.

Contempt: An Emotion That Precedes Action

The promotion of trannies as super important is the weirdest public meme thing I've seen in my life. It's a tiny portion of the population. The whole subject is trite, and superficial in the extreme. It's a life of playing dress up. It's a basis for a million dopey hollywood productions. Now the same people are trying to turn it into top flight drama? It's impossible to take it seriously.

I suppose if it's as coordinated as it appears to be that's really the point--it's sort of a low grade attempt at mass humiliation to provoke a response. At the corporation I work for, for example, employees had a "course"--just some shitty video--that included gender "identity" as a topic, complete with the absurd pronoun choice bullshit. At that moment any respect I had for the business vaporized.

Contempt for institutions, especially for the government, is a liberating emotion. It really means the status quo is done. 

Agriculture and Fear Based Mind Control

When I was growing up there was a daily reminder that the nuclear apocalypse was right around the corner; it could happen any day! Once the Soviet Union crumbled, even though the chance of a nuclear exchange or accident probably increased, that fear porn went on the back burner and the threat of "islamic" terror was pumped out there, which culminated in 9/11. That eventually ran out of steam.

It seems lately the fear game turned inward in the United States and is based on lowest common denominator crap like race. Whites are constantly sniped for this or that thing by a rabble of babblers. Jews are kept in constant terror by their demonic "leaders" that they'll be holocausted any moment. Blacks are kept in fear by their demonic "leaders". It's all the same thing. People are divided into camps and the leadership, who is the biggest parasite and danger to each camp rouses fear about those other ones.

I'm not even totally sure what the purpose of the fear tactic is. People are mostly preoccupied with their day to day struggles and barely think about those fear themes. Even though there's a constant fear campaign about this or that, it rarely comes up in a person's day to day life. It is an effective tool in shaping rhetoric and choices, however. It sort of forms a horizon of possibilities.

I think our agricultural civilization is fatally flawed and is somehow the basis for all this mind control shit. That's hinted at in the Bible and various myths and legends. Something is desperately wrong with agriculture.

Trump the Dancing Bear

I've been pretty successful at ignoring the political circus. I don't know who Trump represents. I do have a pretty good idea who the establishment GOP and democrats in Washington represent--they're literally a collection of all the worst people in the country. I'm over the insane idea that any of those people are there to do anything worthwhile. It's almost impossible, apparently, to stop them from continuing to do bad things to the nation. I'm also over the idolotry of worshiping the founding of the US or reverence for the founding fathers. The weird similarity of the US flag to the flag of the British East India Company should give anyone pause on that score.

In spite of that skepticism, it's pretty interesting to see the retarded democrats take the bait to attack Trump and try to impeach him..... over the corruption of the Biden family. Trump plays an oafish public character and uses oafish rhetoric. It's the same ploy as Hamlet.

Weirdly, the ghouls in the democratic party fall for his portrayal over and over again in spite of being burned time after time. (The Trump administration might just be the plot of Hamlet.)  Trump takes the advice given to Hamlet "put an antic disposition on" to mask his intent--revenge for the murder of the United States? For some reason the typical Democrat, and apparently even the party leadership can't deal with Trump's personae. They are moralists who rely on shame tactics, and they can't seem to touch Trump.

Now the Democrats in the house have taken the bait offered up by Trump's people to hold impeachment hearings on the Biden family corruption (link to wikipedia article that keeps being edited, lol). It boggles the mind. I can't imagine how they intend to proceed with this freak show.

It's also pretty weird that the Democrats decided to label Trump racist bigot homophobe over and over again. Where did all that come from? It seems to be steadily diminishing their moralistic standing.

The impeachment will probably be the end of this iteration of the shitty democratic party the same way Bubba Bill's impeachment was the end of that iteration of the shitty GOP, which was a bunch of weirdos and frauds. Almost every politician at the federal level in the 1990s was just a corporate/banker globalist whore.

I probably won't pay much attention to the impeachment show. It's painful to watch the stupid democrats speak--they don't play at being dolts, they are. I'll watch if Trump goes to testify, which will be some great theater.

Tranny Corporate Propaganda is Weird As Fuck

Mattel has a new gender neutral doll which they're now selling--maybe--or maybe it's all some weird PR stunt.

Somehow all these brainwashed corporate people flipped a switch and started pushing this thing that nobody cared about or wanted. Some minute portion of the population suffers from gender dysphoria. It's similar to the size of the population that wants to cut off their leg or arm because they think it's trying to kill them.

It's beyond bizarre to see this crap roll out all over the place. How is it even possible? It's coordinated by some little group that seems to be anonymous. It must all be done through the financial system. All the corporations are just the outposts of the banking system. It's hard to believe they're all so thoroughly controlled, but I guess they are.

The System is Weak; You are Strong

I frequently wonder who or what group crafted the movie The Matrix. The movie came out in 1999 and is really one of the root sources for alt-media commentary. It's sort of the Genesis book of the truther movement.

The Matrix is manipulative propaganda. As I've pointed out many times in the blog, we're in an age that resembles The Reformation period. The establishment is a corrupt cesspool (as it always is) and the culture is stagnant because every institution is infiltrated and controlled and serves a centralized group. The same thing happened back in the 15th/16th centuries. Every institution in Western Europe was a satellite of a corrupt oligarchy that revolved around catholicism and everyone knew it.

The Matrix questions the nature of our reality in a really fundamental way. A guy like Quantum of Conscience, or me owes our entire body of thought to that movie in some part. While I started thinking of the topics I cover in this blog back in the 1980s, when I was old enough and had a sufficient knowledge base to do so, it probably wasn't until The Matrix that it seemed plausible to alter reality via thought.

I think we're in the midst of a revolution of thinking. For the deep dive, check out the YouTube channel "Celestial Voyages" which delves into the old, old interpretation of the changing of ages from the astrological/alchemical perspective. There's a small army of people who are working on the same topics... all at the same time... without knowing it.

Is it coordinated via mass media mechanisms, or some other source?

At any rate, the big message is you are strong and the system is weak and growing weaker by the day.

EULA's Versus Crafstman Tools

Back in the 70's and 80's a large portion of Sears stores were dedicated to Craftsman tools. It was the "cool" part of the store for boys. Once you got done with the boring mall trip for clothes, you could browse the aisles and look at all the shiny wrenches and socket sets, garden tractors and snowblowers. I bought my first big set of socket wrenches and other tools from the Sears store I went to as a kid a few years before they closed the whole thing down.

Craftsman tools, of course, had the famous lifetime guarantee. If you broke a wrench, they'd just replace it at the store for no charge, no questions asked. You didn't have to sign a pile of paperwork to join the program, or go online and register your phone number and email so you'd get spam everyday. The broken tool said "CRAFTSMAN" and they'd replace it--even if it was 15 years old. It was that easy.

Contrast that with the tech world today. Every shitty little useless app you want to install on your phone comes with a multi-page contract about how the fags at the company that made the app plan to abuse you. I don't mean "fag" as in homosexual, but fag in the middle school pejoritive sense of the word, which is appropriate to tech companies today.

They're almost all asshole companies that are scamming and scheming to abuse their "customers", from the giant Facebergs down to the rattiest little app company. The truly bizarre thing is they provide almost no value to anyone compared to Craftsman. I have an old POS Craftsman lawn tractor, probably from the 1980s that I use to mow our lawn and haul stuff around our property. I use and abuse that thing and it still runs without a hitch. My stupid smartphone has more problems after a few years than a nearly 40 year old tractor with many moving parts that's used constantly for things it was never designed to do.

Watching YouTube Implode in Real Time

I started watching YouTube for HowTo videos and woodworking/homesteading stuff, and gradually started watching it for entertainment too. We watch it sometimes in the evenings instead of watching some random crap on Netflix or some other streaming site. We never, ever watch cable TV or local TV channels and it's great. I'll never watch that crap again, and frankly I'll probably stop watching and paying for the streaming services like Netflix, which is really shitty and overly expensive for what it is.

Anyway, I watch a broad selection of YouTube channels on a bunch of stuff, from esoteric and occult topics, to news analysis, car repair, to pop culture/entertainment crap. As my interest in YouTube increased, Corporate YouTube started trying to squash all the producers of that stuff I'm watching.

YouTube has been crushing little channels one by one, and just stomped on one I actually watch. Many of the mom & pop little people who produce YouTube content took the ad revenue ticket from YouTube, and are now regularly getting their income slashed, or cut off altogether by YouTube for rando corporate bullshit reasons.

YouTube has been shifting its focus away from independent mom and pop channels to corporate garbage, because the advertisers want corporate content, because they're corporations. YouTube seems oblivious to the reason it has an audience in the first place. PEOPLE HATE CORPORATIONS.

There's such a huge difference between a piece of art or a video that's been made by a real person, versus one that's been shit out of a corporate thing. I think the audience for the corporate stuff is shrinking rapidly.

It seems pretty obvious that YouTube is on a one way trip to being a second rate version of Netflix, which is already pretty crappy, so YouTube will be like shit squared. Corporations need specific garbage as a carrier wave for their brainwashing/sales pitch... really its sales pitch. For some reason everyone, all at the same almost, tuned off that frequency. I don't think corporations will be able to mimic the thing that people get out of the product of individuals. It's going to be interesting to see how all this plays out.

The Pygmie Crane War

Robert Sepehr's YouTube videos are all pretty interesting and entertaining. His recent video includes a short discussion of the Pygmie versus Crane war. (there's actually a lot of material out there on the subject). The scientism explanation is the legend describes bird migration.

The history curriculum in school today is really a religious teaching. It's an explanation of how this world came to be, and implies this world is the culmination of string of necessary events, and that the corrupt, crony establishment scumbags of today are the culmination of thousands of years of human effort--things have never been better.

The thing that's emphasized over and over is civilization is important and eternal, while we are unimportant and temporal. We're gone in the blink of an all-seeing eye. The reality is the opposite.

The Attraction of Doom/Fear Porn

There are shitloads of people in the United States who are afraid the UN is going to take over the country. The globalists have taken over the government of the United States over the last few decades. Their takeover, however, was done by a pile of paper and calling people names and bribing and blackmailing total dirtbag politicians. The UN is really pretty feeble. The federal government of the US is actually pretty feeble too, compared to the entire population. (go watch the Welcome to the Rice Fields video on YouTube for the meme) The corporations are feeble too. A few bulldozers and an excavator or two could knock out any of the silicon valley companies.

People like Doom Porn though--weirdly they like the idea of being helpless and swept along in a tide. I was a fan of financial world doom porn for several years after the 2008 crisis. I think a major component of the attraction is the sense that you are one of the ~few~ people in the know, even though maybe hundreds of thousands of people read the same stories and watch the same crappy YouTube videos over and over again. Eventually I got tired of the same shit over and over again. I also realized precious metals is basically a racket. In the real world, nobody uses them. Similarly, in the real world, nobody uses bitcoin. You can find maybe a hundred people in a metro area of millions willing to trade their goods for bitcoin.

The doom porn makes people's lives feel more significant for some reason. The idea that we're at the end of days is eternally appealing. Next time you get that feeling, look out the window at some sparrow blithely going about his day. The sparrow has a better sense of what's real than you do.

It's pretty interesting that the sense of doom is prevalent when we're ostensibly the most prosperous. Maybe the system itself promotes the doom porn to keep people on the hamster wheel, sucking down cheetos and beer, and watching escapist garbage on TV.

The People The System Promotes are Trainwrecks

While I was still on twitter several new celebrities suddenly started showing up on social media and YouTube all at the same time. One of them was Jordan Peterson. I didn't pay any attention to the guy and only made a mental note that his sudden notoriety was weird. Now the guy ends up in rehab with a big publicity story around that. I'm not going to research it. I don't care. He's not important.

He's an interesting example of how the "system" promotes people who are inevitably deeply flawed in some way. Perhaps the desire to be famous and keep taking the steps to be famous is like a filter that selects a certain type of person. Or maybe it's nepotism and cronyism that drives the fake notoriety of a tiny group of people with the same severely inbred family tree and they all suffer from the same afflictions and desire to perform like little monkeys.

Regardless, the system promotes people that advance it. Everyone whose a public celebrity, especially the "academic"/"intellectual" types work for the system, not themselves. They actually don't have ideas of their own per se. They have ideas that correspond to what the system wants or needs.

Why is It Difficult to Know and Obtain What We Want?

The concept of linear history is a centerpiece of the primary and college education of children. This concept is baked into the Christian religion and is maybe where it originated. In prior eras, everyone knew and accepted that civilizations come and go like annual leaves. Today, you can browse a catalog of ruined, forgotten civilizations via google images. Everything is temporary. The system, though, really wants us to believe it is eternal and that it is big and we are small and insignificant.

One of the elements of the movie Dances with Wolves that's a good depiction of real life, is how Costner's character really doesn't know what he's doing out on the frontier. On some deep level he knew he had to be there, but didn't figure out why for a long time (it's a three fucking hour movie). He didn't know why the wolf was there all the time, either.

Our ancestors spent the vast majority of their time in a natural setting where the cues of nature were immediate and in their faces all the time. Their family and extended family approximated some prototype of civilization, but even that was probably more of a reflection of the natural order of human life rather than some type of system. 

In that circumstance, the immediacy of the natural world probably reduced the role of language in life. People's experience must have been more direct and also more readily shared. That type of knowing and understanding has been totally swamped by civilization and language.

Language has the illusion of high information density because there's such an emphasis on it by the system. The reality is language has very, very low information density. A book like War and Peace has less information than one crummy JPEG image for example.

A modern western human is convinced, however, that they know and even act via language. They even think they're really smart because of that. However, what they don't understand is the system itself made them believe that. It put their consciousness into that word and symbol prison.

A person today, for example, might live in a huge McMansion with a 0.1 acre lot that's mostly covered with concrete. They'll be in a neighborhood with 200 similar homes. They'll have $1M in debt, but when they look at a bank account and see $100,000 on the computer screen they'll feel at ease and wealthy and secure. They'll think, "aha, I can go to the beach vacation and spend 6 months of my savings in a week... that'll be very relaxing."

Similarly, a person who lives in a trailer who has no debt, owns their car, their home, and has a 10 acre lot might look at a bank account screen that shows only $500 and will feel poor, and frantic.

In the above examples, even the cues of common sense are gone, let alone the cues of nature. The person in the McMansion will feel closer to the goals set out for them by the scripts of civilization itself and might feel more fulfilled because they're entirely a creature of the system. They might have a middle management job, for example, where they sit in meetings all day feeding the system.

Anyway, the reason it's so apparently difficult to get closer to what we want and who we are is because our consciousness has been sucked into a place in our brain that has very little access to that. It's really quite remarkable.

Planned Obsolescence and Our Retarded System

The dishwasher engineers build a product that will break after a certain number of hours of use. Their management team does a fist pump when they sell a machine, "Ha ha ha! I tricked you. Now I have more money!" The engineer takes his share of the ill gotten gains and goes and buys a coffee machine that breaks a few months later, "Ha ha ha! I tricked you!" says the coffee machine engineer and management parasites. They take their ill gotten gains and go and buy a lawnmower that has plastic parts in the engine to save some money, "Ha ha ha! I tricked you!" cackles the engine manufacturer. Look at all the money they all saved!

The Fucked Up Calendar

We still deify the god damn Caesars today. Not only is there a salad named for those psychopaths, but the calendar is fucked up. July and August were inserted without updating the rest of it.... probably on purpose. For example we're in September as I write this (Sept=7), which is the ninth month, October = 8, etc...

Caesar still has a cult. There are a bunch of college professors that basically worship this character from the days of yore. It really makes no sense.

If we want to keep the Latin bullshit in our calendar as an homage to old timey mediterranean civilizations, why not just name the months for their corresponding latin-y sounding month names?

Civilization is Bad For You and Your Children

We just watched the movie Dances With Wolves. That came out the first year I was in college (1990). I think I even saw it, maybe even in a theater, but it didn't make much of an impression because I barely remembered anything about it. It's not a great movie, and it's pretty hackneyed in some ways, and novel in others.

The movie, for example, portrays the civil war in the United States as a sort of spiritual ruination of the country, which is a novel take to me anyway. Costner's character (I'll just call him Costner) emerges from that destruction and goes to the frontier, really to escape the United States and civilization. (back then you really could do it... today you can in Alaska, maybe.) He's not really conscious of what he's doing though. He continues to play the role of soldier even though the Union Army forgets he exists. He gradually integrates into the Sioux tribe via a series of "accidents" and slightly supernatural interventions (e.g. the wolf who won't leave him alone).

The movie really shows the concept of "Grow the Man/Shrink the Beast" very well. Costner gradually turns into a more complete human by shedding his systemic roles, including his name and becomes Dances With Wolves. It also portrays the demonic nature of the system, but in a fairly hamfisted way.

When my ancestors encountered Rome around the time of the psychopath Julius Caesar--why is July still named for that asshole--they reportedly were living the same pastoral lifestyle as the indian tribes of today. Europe was graudally 'borged into a new version of the Classical World's butt fucking/slavery/usury model. My ancestors went from chasing deer to chasing gold and silver too.

It's quite possibly, and maybe even likely that the civilization beast is lurking everywhere in the world. The portrayal of the frontier in the US as pure deletes the role of human choice in maintaining that world.

The Americas had big Empires, evil priest freakshows, and the whole rest of it. The idealization of the Sioux deprives them of the notion that the consciously chose to live the way they did for generations maybe like the Amish make conscious decisions to live the way they do today.

Civilization has its good points, but in many ways it's pretty evil and destructive not only of the natural world, but of humans. It makes people dumber and dumber and smaller and smaller. I wouldn't be surprised, for example, if Atlantis didn't really disappear, but the people turned into literal Pygmies with low IQs tens of thousands of years ago.

The Complete Human Being

Civilization tempted people into relying on language and systems for survival many thousands of years ago. Today, the thing people call "intelligence" is really the set of skills associated with language and symbols. It's a tiny portion of the skills humans have, though, and even just a small portion of the cognitive abilities we have.

I think the Beast exists entirely within the symbol world. The technocracy is the Beast system on steroids. I think the computer really is a way for this extra-dimensional thing to get a real existence in our 3D world. The computer is also a way for people to shed more of what makes them human and move more into symbol world from the 3D world.

As I'm getting older, I am more prone to eye strain. By the afternoon after staring at a computer screen for several hours and driving home from concrete, glass and steel world, my eyes can be pretty tired. When we take the dogs for a walk in the evening sometimes I'll close my eyes to give them a rest and let the dog steer. It actually works well at a park or on a trail.

I noticed, lately, when I do that I can sense the relative position of nearby objects from the level of the background noise, sort of like a crappy version of Daredevil. (my favorite comic book as a kid) Obviously, it only works when there's background noise and when there are relatively large sound reflective surfaces close by, so it's a fairly worthless, but seemingly trainable skill. There are some people who claim they can do echo location like a human-bat, but I haven't been able to do that.

The non-verbal, non-symbolic cognitive abilities of human beings surpass the symbolic reasoning, language part of the brain in scope. Almost all our schooling and training, though, focuses on verbal and symbolic reasoning. The language human is incomplete and really sort of stupid and weak. He's a minion of the Beast.

Growing The Beast or Shrinking The Beast

I've been listening to several of the chapters of the "book" that's serialized on Quantum of Conscience. The idea of the city, or civilization as an egregore, or a creature on a different plane of existence has been sniffed out by many people over the years. I think QoC does a good job fleshing that idea out.

The idea that we feed the beast, Matrix style is an old idea as well. I think QoC's summary--that this system is designed to turn us into Smeagal from the Lord of the Rings is a novel idea.

What we feed to the system isn't energy in the physics sense, but maybe the essence of what makes us human in the first place: our soul.

It might be difficult to determine exactly what feeds and grows the system. I feel, quite unfortunately, that my 9-5 tech job feeds and grows the system. Tech basically is the beast; it makes life more complicated and sucks people's time away without supply any nourishment in return. The people who work in tech might actually be able to shrink the system and the beast with a concerted effort, however. Similarly, as individuals they can do things in their on life to shrink it, e.g. paying off their mortgage. That almost certainly is like a tactical nuke against the beast.

As a basis for making moral choices about day-to-day life Amish style, growing or shrinking the beast is probably a good basis. We might even be able to intuit what grows or shrinks it, because we know what will grow us or turn us into Smeagal.

How to Reconquer Your America

I almost got sucked into researching the saudi oil facility bombing bullshit. I think those types of "events" or stories are mostly aimed at absorbing people's attention and intent. Somehow we're all supposed to get wrapped up in the drama of what some inbreds in the middle east are going to do with their sand, oil and salt water. Or even worse, we're supposed to wonder what the freakshow in the White House is going to do in  response. How many Persians are they going to murder? Is Trump really for America or is he a blackmailed, controlled puppet of some psycho jews, or is he just some freemasonic actor?

The media, and even most of the alt-media tends to externalize our internal struggle. The United States as a whole is really a reflection of our internal world. Unfortunately, most Americans are totally debauched and degenerate now. They spend their time watching satanic Netflix shows and looking at porn or social media.

If you can wrestle your attention away from that shit and build, and work on making your internal world a heaven instead of hell, that's how you reconquer the United States.

Everything That's About to Happen In the Middle East is Fake

So.... the Saudis with piles of US pew pew hardware and military advice had an oil "facility" "destroyed" by an Iranian drone.. actually by a Yemeni drone. So Iran is supposed to be a new technological super sneaky, super power... with the GDP of 75% of the state of Ohio. Or maybe it was Yemen with its deep third world, war torn country GDP that build the super sneaky tech that took out an oil field... The Saudis, in spite of multiple years of war against neighboring Yemen didn't think to defend their most valuable resources against homemade drones.

Maybe gas will be $6.66/gallon tomorrow. I don't believe any of it. It's all lies.

I'm hoping the skepticism about anything to do with our short, hairy, violence and fraud prone middle eastern brethren is as deep and broad as I think it should be after almost 20 years of murder and mayhem sucking the soul of the US dry.

I'm also hoping we just walk away from the crappy empire whore. People might be shocked at the unraveling of the phony-ass paper stock market, but maybe we'll actually start thinking about what's important and natural instead of trying to chase funny money and lies.

'Stache Bolton Bombed Saudi

A few days after 'stache Bolton got fired by Trump, Yemen bombs Saudi Arabian "oil facilities" (at least there were some pictures of something burning somewhere), when the markets are closed of course. I'm pretty sure it was 'stache himself that blew that shit up.

All over YouTube comments, there are ~real~ totally legit, non robots, complaining about the possibility of $6 gas.... Always with the 6--I wonder why. Maybe it looks like a dick? Is it that retarded?

If the US gets conned into a war with Iran, buckle up buckaroos. Time to complain to the congress and to the Trump again to try to keep us out of that mess.

The World as a Trick

In many religious traditions, the material world is viewed as inherently corrupt, and even satanic or evil. It's a soul trap. The thing we really are is temporarily put into a body of flesh and made to forget its true existence. (The Bourne Identity is a presentation of this idea. Jason Bourne wakes up in the water unaware of who he is or where he came from, and actually returns to the water in the final movie.)

In that movie, his "creator" really the person who made him (imprisoned him in a new chemically enhanced body) is a CIA minion. A whole cast of demons serve that devil and Bourne has to fight his way through to find the truth of his "birth" into this realm. (It's the same story as The Matrix or Conan the Barbarian.)

Materialism in the philosophical and in the common use of that word is really the embrace and worship of this world. It's a rejection of the idea that the spiritual and unseen world is the "true" home of man. It's the religion of the Establishment, even the various churches are fundamentally materialist and corrupt. The huge buildings and bank accounts of various denominations of Christianity testify to that.

Materialism tends to expand in a life of economic "success". Even though I live relatively "frugally" for example and am working to build a "natural farm", even the modest infrastructure and small house consumes almost all my free time. Counter-intuitively, trying to "escape" the beast system and simplify my life is a full time effort. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong.

The Fatal Flaw of The Debt Money System

The US has had a number of financial systems. The central banking lizard model installed in 1913 has already been rebooted numerous times. The current version "globalism" has a pretty severe flaw. Since it's a debt money system, it requires a constant expansion of the money supply to function. Consequently it needs a constant expansion of "markets", really it needs things that can soak up the confetti money at the rate it's produced. Tech and investment in undeveloped areas of the world are ideal for soaking up confetti money.

The makework activities of tech--building new generations of electronics shit and new software, or the most makework activity of all--data mining--are really good for soaking up confetti money. Electronics gadgets aren't really resource intensive. They're human labor intensive, but they don't require too much energy or raw materials to produce compared to industrial goods or infrastructure. Software and data analysis require a minimal amount of energy, and just require some minion to do the typewriter monkey impression 40 hours a week.

The debt money system relies on people being totally passive and following along with this retarded, shitty system. It requires them to not wake up that the new iphone is no better than the previous iphone. It requires them to not realize that it's stupid to buy a new car, and that drinking apple juice from China is like drinking a glass of poison.

Since the system requires constant expansion, it's very sensitive to marginal and minority movements, like the truth community, or the alt-media or whatever you want to call it. Really only a relatively small handful of people have to wake up to how stupid it is to buy a new car, or how dumb it is to go into debt to get a college degree for the system to start to fall apart.

That said, the young people are the most likely to kill the system more from necessity than choice. It's really a generational con. Since wages haven't kept up with inflation, but asset prices have, it doesn't make much sense for the young generation to play. I don't think the system can adapt to accommodate them because it's inherently maladaptive. It's really like an old city with old infrastructure that's worthless.

The boomers who have pensions or savings basically have a bunch of paper claims on future production that can only be financed through further money-supply dilution. The future production would be made by young people who would have to work for relative slave wages for those claims to be realized.

Shills like Andrew Yang raise the specter of "automation" (like the 1933 Technocrats Magazine did) to try to keep the young people on the banker plantation. I doubt that propaganda will work.

The paper claims are going to be worthless. It's really hard to imagine, or try to game out different scenarios for how or when it unfolds, though.

Quantum of Conscience YouTube Channel

If you're one of the people who regularly look at my blog, you would probably like the Quantum of Conscience YouTube Channel. He's also trying to get a perspective on the nature of our reality. I found his channel via Owen Benjamin.

Cow Fart Lies

There's a new fear-porn propaganda meme: insects as food. The message in that meme is the world is so overpopulated that we need to eat insects to avoid global climate change and the other catastrophe du jour. One of the pieces of "evidence" they cite to support the insect meme is that cows fart, and that's going to destroy the world.

Prior to settlement by Europeans, there were an estimated 30-60 million bison in the United States. Now there are about 30 million cows. A point I make over and over again in my blog is that our agricultural system might by the original sin, pandora's box mistake our ancient ancestors made, and we keep making, not because it's causing climate change, but really it seems like a kind of foolish, self-defeating activity. If anything, there were more bison or other mega-fauna herbivore critters prior to the 1600's than today.

The gut bacteria of bison were probably converting as much plant matter into methane as cow gut bacteria do today. If the cows and bison weren't there, the plant matter would be breaking down in other ways.

The propaganda criticism of the system by the "left", however, isn't aimed at improving anything. It's just stupid lies by grifting psychopaths.

Why Do People Buy New Cars?

I bought my current daily-driver car in 2008 after a bad car accident destroyed my previous car. I was just starting to exit the corporate consumer way of thinking back in those days, but after the accident I was too injured to do the leg work to buy a used car, or even to go to a dealer. I just bought it online and the dealer even dropped it off.

Not too long after that I realized I will never buy a new car again. It's the most glaringly obvious large scale bad decision regular people make over and over again. Over the course of a lifetime, the cost of buying new cars and trading them in versus buying used cars gets well into 6 digit territory. It's an obvious scam, so why do people fall for it?

People seem to think in terms of how much pain they can endure in the form of a monthly payment versus the total value of the transaction. The car is a utility to them, rather than a thing that they purchased and own. Their consciousness is in a pretty narrow time band--they never even step back from the daily toil to consider the net effect of their choices.

They also tend to think of unforeseen car repairs as horribly catastrophic instead of a fairly routine thing. It is a hassle and annoying to have to get a car towed to a mechanic, especially from a long distance, but generally that expense is minor compared to even one month's car payment. Depending on the car model, repairs costs can be modest.

People also see cars as a badge of status. There are many people who go into debt to avoid the appearance of being poor. Some have lingering childhood trauma associated with poverty. Some are just vain. Some people get suckered in by ads; they imagine the pleasure of owning a car is substantial.

Evidence of the White Flight Model of System Collapse

As a college//university education becomes prohibitively expensive, a steady stream of people are opting out. College enrollments are steadily declining. Since colleges and universities are debt ponzi financial institutions, many of them will go bankrupt in the coming years. The entire US economy has gone deeply into the John Law style paper world--that's a one way trip.

The people who opt out, especially those who opt out young are making a value versus price choice. The people who appear to be disenfranchised by this system are actually building its replacement, but they probably don't even know it yet.

Effeminate Aggression

A few months ago we watched a few episodes of the Satanic "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" on Netflix. There's no subtext of satanism in that show... it's overtly satanic. I didn't pick up on a theme in that show that's shared with many other relatively new productions until this morning, and that theme is Effeminate Aggression.

The whole "social justice" movement is based on that particular mood, which is why it is so nails-on-the-chalkboard annoying to many people.

In pop culture movies and TV shows, the lead characters are often satanic, or witches. They're often female (or at least look like they are) lead characters. If there are male characters in their orbit, they're gay. They're dark and subversive types. They are literally satanic characters, and they're archetypes, ironically, and weirdly enough for boys.

Yeah, Sabrina is not for girls. It's for boys. It's supposed to turn them into little bitches.

Initiation into Foolishness

Intelligence seems to be a human characteristic like height or hair color. Wisdom, on the other hand, is mostly gained through hard experience and reflection. The vast bulk of pop culture seems to be aimed at denigrating and obscuring wisdom and guides people into foolishness and vapid materialism. There are not many characters that portray wisdom in movies and TV shows. One character I can think of is Jack Bartlett on the TV show Heartland.

All the satanic secret societies seem to be purely and militantly materialistic. Wisdom, on the other hand, seems to be almost entirely about understanding what endures and seeing man's part in the whole. It necessarily diminishes materialism and the culture of "seeming".

Wisdom is tied to agricultural life and nature in the western world. Satanic materialism is part and parcel of the city life and the world of lies. The satanists today think they can unlock the secrets of the natural world and live forever like hedonist kings. The dark hero archetype in movies and TV shows is an expression of sincere doubt in satanic materialism. Even his victories are hollow.

Heartland is pretty remarkable because it's anti-materialistic. It's pretty unusual for products of the Beast system to guide people away from feeding the Beast. The characters who chase money and status in the show are all miserable. The characters who pursue virtue and home life, and pass on the pursuit of vanity are happy.

The Absurdity and Death Toll of Central Planning

Tens of millions of people died in China as it went commie. There was a famine when Mao had a campaign to wipe out 4 pests, including sparrows, which led to insects eating crops. The "one child" policy caused the abortion of countless girls, which led to a shortage of women today.

Central planning is really having some doofus like Bernie Sanders--a guy with no apparent practical skills or knowledge--deciding how masses of people ought to live. I'm 99% sure he hasn't really ever accomplished anything in his life. He's just a dipshit politician. Any farmer, teacher, plumber, engineer, doctor, etc... is more capable than him.

Canning Was Invented Before Biological Process of Spoilage Was Understood

Canning was invented in the early 1800's. There was no scientific explanation for food spoilage until the later 19th century.

Literal Satanists

Ages ago I wrote a post on the luciferians. Back then, I was thinking the practitioners of Satanism in our time view it as a metaphor. It's upside down Christianity. This belief is so common, we're immersed in it every day. The congregation of satan and the materialist world is huge--and most of the people involved probably don't really know it, and don't know there are any alternatives. Celebrity worship. Hollywood media. Sports. It's all fundamentally satanic.

I thought it's pretty likely that the people in the know aren't literal satansists. That is, it's not a religion, or an anti-religion. It's merely poetic. I've slowly warmed up to the notion, however, that they're literally satanic. They are really dumb ass devil worshipers. The pop culture--hollywood movies and TV shows and corporations and banks are like their temples.

As in any religion there are different degrees of believers and interpretations. Satanism is really a turning away and rejection from god and the natural order. So people range in belief from mere materialistic scientism and atheism to full on child sacrifice Moloch ritual psychotic behavior.

The Hobby of Western Decline. China World Probably Won't Happen.

In a prior post, I pointed out the western obsession with collapse. Around the end of the British Empire, coincidentally at the end of the 19th century, the British started to see the Empire party was coming to a quick end. Americans today are seeing the end of our shitty empire (good riddance to bad rubbish!). Everyone thinks China is going to take over next in the merchant's Empire Whore game.

I was a believer in that prophecy, too. Now, I'm a skeptic. The Chinese have been poised to dominate the world for thousands of years, but they haven't. What's going to change to make that happen? All the masons and financial wizards trying to butt fuck the west into feebleness, and the east into an expansion-cosmopolitan-empire-mindset probably won't succeed. Subversion and subtrefuge and social engineering only go so far.

The "one world" culture is really just the shitty cosmopolitan homo world culture. There are distinct, ancient cultures and lineages that are tied to geography the same way there are cosmopolitans who are genetically tied to money and no land. For example, at some point in the not too distant past, my ancestors were running around in waist deep snow chasing deer and elk and mammoths up and down fucking mountains and glaciers. They developed long limbs and strong cardiovascular systems and passed that down the generations. Today, I do farm work on the weekends for a hobby that'd probably kill many people through exertion or accidents, and I'm way past my prime. I do that stuff because I'd otherwise be bored and sullen after sitting in an office and staring at a computer all fucking day. I can just barely stand it.

The merchant-globalism world empire systems come and go. They're really fleeting. It's very unfortunate that people fall into that game over and over again. They forget they're basically always at war with the fucking sea people.

If the United States gets out of the merchant empire game at peak power, it'll actually be a huge benefit to the United States and the Western Hemisphere, if not the West as a whole. It seems implausible that China would fill that Empire Whore void. They might have trouble being a hegemon in Asia, which is more like pre-WW2 Europe and chock full of ethnic strife and national divisions. Their literal cousins in Hong Kong don't even want to go to the Commie Party.

The vision of China world is probably just a fantasy of the anti-western 5th column who lives in the west.

C.H. Pearson Foretold Today in the 1890s

All I can say is holy shit. Charles Henry Pearson basically 100% predicted today's world in the 1890's--a period that was really similar to today's world.

http://www.historyandpolicy.org/policy-papers/papers/china-globalisation-and-the-west-a-british-debate-1890-1914

...western-directed Chinese growth would bring a Pearsonian denouement in the west, destroying industry and agriculture in the west to a large extent and turning Britain into a service economy dominated by financial capitalists who would control Chinese and world development. Clarke, who was probably also influenced by J. A. Hobson, who in 1891 had had associated western development of China with British de-industrialisation, accepted Pearson's prophecies as inevitable. Kidd, who felt that the financial heart of this new west would be in the United States rather than Britain, resisted them- arguing that a new united, protected British Empire with minimum standards for labour, could avoid the fate Pearson predicted, retain its industrial structure and challenge the USA for global hegemony in the 20th century. Not surprisingly, he vigorously supported Joseph Chamberlain's campaign for white imperial unity when it began in 1903.

How to Be A Complete Human

In all my years of school, no teacher ever discussed how to be a complete human being, or how to even think about that problem. It's really the most fundamental problem people face day in and day out. In the United States today, the most celebrated people are often the worst, partial humans there are. The celebrities, politicians, etc... are usually so hollow and narcissistic that they end up as someone else's puppet. They recite lines rather than have their own ideas, for example, and appear to be kept under control via blackmail and bribery.

There's almost no counter example in anyone's life. The entertainment and news media is almost entirely in the business of promoting those empty, narcissistic people, and sells the dime-store version of that life as the "consumer" lifestyle. Most families replaced whatever tradition and knowledge they had on the subject of "life" with the Hollywood abomination teaching.

It's a truism that materially poorer people are more complete human beings. It's also sort of mind bending, and soul haunting that the human beings of the stone age were maybe the most human and that agricultural civilization was a fundamental error.

The Bible Isn't Old

The United States I grew up in 40-ish years ago is significantly different than the United States of today. A nation and its people is always at odds with an Empire. The Empire is evil. It always is. It makes use of the worst aspects of human nature to achieve its ends, so it's repugnant to everyone. Most people want to pursue a good, virtuous life, even if they miss the mark more often than not, and even if they horribly miss the mark, but wish they didn't. The Bible is actually relatively young compared to all the iterations of Empires. At least thousands of years of Empires rose and fell before the Bible was compiled.

Advice in the bible that seemed archaic a few years ago, now seems timely, like it was written yesterday. For example Deuteronomy 22:5

A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God.

There are admonitions against tattoos and body modification as well. It really isn't apparent why all this stuff is in the Bible until you see the Empire needs men to put on women's clothes and needs people to be getting tattoos. The natural law, which is what the Bible seeks to codify (which might be a problem in itself), is orthogonal to the interests of the Empire--an alien will that's imposed on the people.

There's no Empire that's in accordance with the natural law. The Empire is necessarily an abomination.

Non-Systemic Organization

Methods of agriculture and gardening are probably built into our genetic memory. For example, the idea of making a "bed" for the plants and grouping the same kind of plant all into one place is somehow encoded in our brain and body the same way a squirrel knows to stash nuts in a tree. The reason people do that is to make the harvest less labor intensive. People tend to devise systems around a specific version of "efficiency"--usually labor efficiency.

Nature doesn't do that, obviously. If there's any single principle to cite, it'd probably be energy utilization. It seems like nature just makes use of all available energy--if there's a niche where a plant can live, it will grow. Some gardeners and farmers follow that scheme to the degree they can. It makes the plants more resistant to pests. However, even in those schemes, quite a bit of area will be left fallow compared to a natural meadow for example, so only a fraction of the sunlight will be utilized.

Nature also builds on what we'd think of as "failures". A tiny tree that only lives two seasons improves the soil. An ancient beech tree that collapses and wipes out four other trees improves the soil and makes more niches for animals to live. The apparent chaos makes more complexity and room for life in a smaller area.

The way people plan, and carry out plans is built on language. Language, as pointed out in many posts on my blog, is a form of lossy compression--really driven by the same concepts of efficiency that shape our genetic memory of gardening. A "failure" for a human is really lost time. For us, there's really no grand scheme, we rarely have a feel for the whole, and our place in it. A farmer who depended on a crop that failed, for example, would be destroyed. Failure would mean his own loss of property, or maybe even life.

An engineered system, like a farm field or a garden bed or a whole farm, tends to be worse at converting solar energy into plants or animals than nature is over the same area. Engineered systems--really most types of "systems" are based on word-consciousness. Other modes of consciousness aren't so amenable to a system, or organizing people who aren't in that same mode of thinking.
