Mega-distortions of History

When I was in middle school I had a couple of books called "The Penguin Atlas of World History". The books were printed on an unusual, fairly dense paper, and were kind of small but heavy for their dimensions. Unfortunately, they were also bound in a kind of slipshod fashion and eventually they fell apart because I read them frequently. They basically told a story of "the world of men" in maps. I was always particularly fascinated with the so called "age of migration" in the early medieval world when european people were moving around because it was presented as a sort of "beginning" point of europe, therefore of my ancestors.

However, even when I was 12 or so, that didn't make any sense for very basic reasons. It was an entirely arbitrary "beginning" because of course those people who migrated to europe came from somewhere else and in fact europeans had been living in that region for tens of thousands of years prior, so the narrative was nonsensical. I read and re-read the sparse text of that book to try to understand what I was missing, but never found it.

The reason I didn't find it was the info in the book was presented out-of-context because the authors of that book were Germans and they were presenting "the official narrative" they learned in school which conflated "the beginning" of europe with its christianization. For example former President of France Charles deGaulle said:

"For me, the history of France begins with Clovis, elected as king of France by the tribe of the Franks, who gave their name to France. Before Clovis, we have Gallo-Roman and Gaulish prehistory. The decisive element, for me, is that Clovis was the first king to have been baptized a Christian. My country is a Christian country and I reckon the history of France beginning with the accession of a Christian king who bore the name of the Franks."

There's a specific mega-distortion in histories that for whatever reason I tuned into at the age of 12 or so. Historical narratives are presented as a necessary sequence of events with rational causes and effects rather than entirely contingent and arbitrary outcomes. The "official" narratives are carefully crafted lies that are trademarked by the ruling class and inculcated into the population via schools in the present day. A "good student" is just a parrot. Even in a nominally "free" society while an individual can say or write almost anything they want, only the ruling class opinions, that is, the official story is set on blast.

When I was looking at those maps of medieval europe as a 12 year old kid, I was trying to figure out why the europeans abandoned their prior religion and became "christians". No such explanation is in that book because it's understood as a necessary "watershed" moment. Over the subsequent decades of my life, I tried many times to research the subject, but no authors presented it in a manner that makes sense to me, that is, it was an entirely contingent thing and the current timeline is really a series of arbitrary outcomes.

One obvious example of that in the historical record is the early version of christianity in Europe was so called "Arian" christianity, but that was replaced with a different trademarked version of christianity--catholic christianity. It seems pretty likely the catholics murdered the guy who had the trademark on Arian christianity. To this day catholics recite the "nicene creed" which commemorates how the "church fathers" settled the beefs they had 1700 years ago with poison.

Another more recent version of this historical distortion is found in the history of the settlement of Ohio. In retrospect, the outcome was always "up in the air" and often times events were farcical, such as the French claims on "ownership" of the New World which turned into British Claims, then American Claims. Each claim was based on a prior fraud, and the ostensibly "competing" governments colluded to bolster their legitimacy. Of course, this lesson can't be taught in a school even though it's the most important lesson of that era.

In other words, the claim of History as a subject is: things came to be as they must, that is, they were pre-ordained and the current order of the world is "just" because it won. This is how the "christianization" narrative is presented in many books, even by secular scholars. I recall reading a book that presented christianity "winning" out in darwinian fashion over the prior religion. Some authors make bizarre claims that became really widespread like christianity "created" the concept of being an individual that is the "content" of the christian religion won out over the content in the germanic religions because it was intrinsically better.

That's not what happened at all. Christianity's the ultimate example of something that's entirely contingent and arbitrary. For example, the "core" of christianity is actually Greek philosophy, but because it started off as a jewish cult it's associated with the bible which some modern religious christians still regard as a historical narrative rather than a collection of Mediterranean world myths. Both the jews and the greeks had been absorbed into the roman empire and as rome collapsed as an organized political/military entity its religious institutions morphed into the "Roman Catholic" church.

As with the "settlement of Ohio" narrative, because all the parties involved were weak AF, the series of events that followed, like the "baptism of Clovis I" was all pretty arbitrary and could have turned out any number of ways. Two weak players, Clovis and the early catholic church partnered up to bolster each other, but any number of other gangsters of that era could have buddied up and formed a winning combo. The search for an answer "why they won" as in, it was a necessary outcome, is an ex post facto distortion. It really "just happened to work out".

A very weird modern wrinkle on this "necessary cause and effect" narrative is the variations introduced by women's studies or black people studies or native american studies. That is the "official ruling class narratives" are now ammended with mentions of a woman, or a black, or whatever, but the overall theme remains the same. For example, one uncomfortable fact of French settlement of the new world is the Indians bartered their women's beavers to the French like they bartered their beaver pelts and in fact, they did it in gratuitous fashion. Basically the women would put on a strip-club type show and offer up their asses since they didn't share a language. The leadership of the Indians basically pimped out their hoes for material gain. The narrative has to be altered to make this a woman-power move.

The core of all this bullshit is to make it seem like the world is as it must be, which is of course what the ruling class people want everyone to believe. The reality is its entirely contingent and nobody can really make a claim on "legitimacy". It just doesn't exist.

"The Way"

I recently watched a YouTube video about the vast cultural impact of Star Wars versus the zero cultural impact of the movie Avatar which was also a "mega blockbuster hit movie". The "Star Wars" topic is one of the things that got me started on the initial concept of this blog, which is humanity's mind model is inextricably bound up with mythology. Why is Star Wars a cultural icon while Avatar is not?

Star Wars is literally star wars which is the basis of a lot of mythological systems. I wrote a bunch of posts on this topic, but this one is a good summary. I'll jot down a few really obvious highlights. Millenium Falcon = the moon. X-Wing fighter looks like an erect penis. Luke literally shoots his load into the "death star". Rebels = solar imagery. The Empire is the world of the dead, that is, the Winter and last years sun and hoarded wealth, like the greek god Pluto, who's also a vampire. Luke (light) and Han are Horus. Princess Leia is Isis. Vader is Osiris/the constellation Orion. Every year the Rebels, the Sun, overthrows the Empire (the winter) and there's a big Ewok Party--Summer.

Avatar is possibly based on another old myth, but it's a less well known myth. It might be a twist on the Book of Enoch story or the story of the Nephilim which is also the basis of the Stargate SG-1 story, which is also the Atlantis story told by Plato, which is shown in bits and pieces in the movie 10,000 BC and is also in the 2000s Battlestar Galactica. That story is an advanced civilization came to prehistoric Earth and basically "engineered" humanity. In the book of Enoch, for example, the "watchers" teach humans "civilization". The nephilim enslave humanity, as in Avatar, an evil corporation sends an imposter to dupe the blue aliens.

For whatever reason, this story is not as widely known or celebrated, and all these entertainment products have niche fandoms, or no fandom, like Avatar, which was, ironically just corporate entertainment slop compared to Star Wars which was based on "The Contendings of Horus and Set" and "The Osiris Cycle", which are arguably products of the Nephilim. That is, the "seasonal religion" is a scam that's been used to enslave humanity for 1000s of years.

"Star Wars" also includes "the force" mythology, but in true Nephilim style corrupted it with the concept of "royal blood", which is the Nephilim/fallen angels myth. That is, "the force" is only available via biological and hereditary juju called "mitichlorians" or whatever. That's all a sort of grotesque corruption of concepts in Daoism. "The Force" = "The Way".

The depiction of "the daoist" comes and goes in entertainment products. I think corporations are not eager to promote it, nor are corporate types who are the people who make hollywood slop now. A classic example of this is Kwai Chang Caine from Kung Fu. The "Caine" surname and his origin story is drawn from the Nephilim story yet again (in the lore, it's the biblical Cain), but it doesn't fit the rest of the concepts in Kung Fu, nor the Shaolin Monk concept. Another similar, and corrupted example is the Ranger Aragon from Lord of the Rings who's the "secret king", but a ranger. The TV series the Incredible Hulk is yet another one where a wandering stranger goes around the world solving problems "outside the system". Of course Yoda and the Jedis are supposed to be Shaolin Monks who have a sort of stand-offish relationship with "the system" and have their own concerns about "maintaining balance" which is independent of the government's agendas.

"The Way" is the only way, so it necessarily supercedes religion, which is a pack of lies, and politics, which is also a pile of fraud and lies, and it really trumps all similar nonsense, like consumerism, or work anxiety, corporations, etc... It asserts itself in times of extreme madness, like in classical Athens during peak empire, or in ancient Rome in the form of stoicism, or now in the US where the "ruling class" is being revealed as utter trash.

"The Way" versus Ideological Retards

I was on the "Riddle of Steel" path from the time I first saw "Conan the Barbarian" back in 1982. I finally defeated the Thulsa Dooms of my internal world about 10 years ago.

In that movie, there's a moment in the climactic scene where Conan shakes of the spell (2:33 into this great clip) of Thulsa Doom's bullshit speech. That scene is extremely dense with concepts. Thulsa Doom is representative of "the pyramid" system, which bizarrely enough, is founded on "sex energy" represented by the flame and Thulsa Dooms magical scamming ability.

The Thulsa Doom cult is supposed to represent an old sex cult that continues to this day--which is also pretty gay and theatrical. It appears to control all the western governments and certainly the financial system and other key institutions. Members of the cult sometimes give a nod to their penis worship either by a name like "Shakespeare" or "Rodenberry" or they build a penis monument like the Washington penis monument. Like every cult, it's bizarre to outsiders.

Notably James Earl Jones plays both Thulsa Doom and Darth Vader-the same archetypal character in two different movies. Note the "I am your father" aspect of the speech he gives to Conan. Similarly Conan, just like Luke, start life at the fringe of the Empire. In Conan's world he's in a small village with his actual family, in some Hyperborean Eden until the Pyramid snake cult invades, kills his family and kin and enslaves him as a child. When Conan kills Thulsa Doom, he basically "resets" the circle of his life. He's back outside the pyramid system as a new child going down a new "Riddle of Steel" path.

Anyway, I finally realized "the world of man is the world of lies" about ten years ago. That was several years before the COVID bullshit onslaught hit. It was wild and scary to observe the throng get pushed into yet another cult where all those fucktards went and chanted "doom" at the feet of yet another false prophet little gnome weirdo Fauci. That was a bizarre spectacle to witness.

It's apparent, we're at the end of the "neoliberal" system and the vast pile of lies and institutions that kept it going for my whole life. It's "the pyramid" system, well the current version of it anyway. The premise of the neoliberal system is a bunch of "highly trained" "expert" managers would restructure the world economy for "maximum efficiency". Really they just looted all the equity in the western world and replaced it with funny money. Every time some corporation is sold, for example, equity vanishes into a cloud of debt.

It's falling apart like a rusted old jalopy, now. Some evidence of the rot is precious metals prices shooting to the moon and inflation in general, plus the spastic mega-theft perpetrated by the US empire overseas. Inflation is particularly bad for the pyramid, because it forces people to think for themselves and to see that the pyramid's institutions, like public schools or colleges and universities funded by student loans, are actually toxic and deadly.

Now we're at the point in the ongoing breakdown of the US economy as Jalopy where it's important to understand what happens to the cult of Thulsa Doom after Conan chops his head off? What's the mass of normies going to do when the pyramid falls apart? They won't "wake up". They'll look for a new Daddy or Mommy.

The population can be lumped into a handful of groups: poors, middle class (people who work), ruling class. The middle class is characterized by the habit of trying to make sensible choices and trying to be productive. The ruling class and poors are similar in that they have no such compulsion and suck wealth out of the productive dopes in the middle.

The middle class is subdivided in two. 20% of the productive people are Conan types: they realize the system is a scam and is predatory. 80% have no clue. Eventually the 20% chops the head off the ruling class in various ways. In the French Revolution it was literal head chopping. In that scenario it's a complete refutation of the ruling class. In other scenarios the 20% try to renegotiate their deal with the ruling class. That's happened several times in the US. There was a literal "new deal" for example that eventually was coupled with middle class nirvana in the US for decades.

In other countries and other eras, a bunch of system dropouts reboot "the way". In classical Athens, for example, Diogenes was a contemporary of Plato. Athens and Greece went Empire mode under crazy old Alexander. Diogenes ridiculed the whole thing including the official state oriented philosophical school of Plato... Diogenes thinking eventually led to stoicism which popped up as the Roman Empire was falling apart.

"Don't Do" Simple Rules of Thumb

Back in 2015, I thought about doing a christmas tree farm. We don't have a huge property, but it's big enough to support thousands of fir and pine trees were I to clear some acreage. I planted 300 trees all over the property to get a feel for the potential productivity of the soil. The trees grow really well on some parts of the property, and struggle on others. 10 years later some of the saplings I planted are well over 10 feet tall and have a 6" trunk. In others, they're basically the same size they were when first planted.

As a few years went by, I decided the christmas tree farm wasn't viable, plus I wasn't really interested in it, and liked the trees and how they grew. The christmas tree business is actually pretty weird. The trees are pruned specifically to form them into an unnatural shape. It's not hugely labor intensive, but by the time a tree is sold maybe a couple of hours of labor are spent per tree.

At the end of the whole project I was done with christmas trees in general. I could do a nursery for fir trees or something like that, but probably not the whole chop a tree and sell it thing. In fact, that's a pretty typical pattern for me, and I'm sure many other people as well. I can tell when I am on the wrong path when I do a thing, but it is difficult to see the correct path by itself.

I guess the correct path eventually emerges, like a negative space drawing. My formula is really simple: does a thing actually add more life, or does it grow or feed the dead world? It's also really simple to see the answer to that question on almost any topic, there's no painful wrestling with lies and justifications. Who wants more dead world? There's a lot of twisted freak people who keep building Mordor, but hardly anybody really wants Mordor or wants to serve Sauron/Hades.

I started applying that "don't do" concept on my property and with my personal projects a couple of years ago. Initially I didn't see how to apply it, so it was a bit of a struggle for some time, but eventually it became more obvious. The overall scheme is to imitate, insofar as it's feasible, the natural order. Nature creates a profusion of forms and beings. Apply that to the christmas trees: am I going to cut down the existing forest to plant a monoculture crop, then mow around the trees and sling fertilizer and chemicals at them? No. That's really a crazy thing people do.

Here's a better example. Our property has some drainage issues (we receive lots of precipitation per year). There's a failed network of drainage pipes here. Should I "replace" those with many hundreds of feet of plastic pipes to route the water from the surface to a creek? No way. Plant some water tolerant trees, route the water on the surface through some swales so nutrients stay in the soil. Maybe dig a pond or make a wetland in really problem areas... It costs less and follows the life path.

Inevitably this thinking spills out of personal projects and into my professional life. I've been working in tech for years. In its latest incarnation, it's firmly in Mordor "death land" in spite of flying pride flags and wanting to be "inclusive". It's going to be impossible for me to stay in Mordor. Any tech thing that might help some Orcs escape mordor, is doable, but corporate tech world is pretty bleak these days.

Anyway, the life path is leading me to interesting places.

The Realm of Swindleheim

Several years ago I realized the World of Man is the World of Lies. The biggest liars and frauds are the wealthiest most "powerful" people in this realm of Swindleheim. Essentially this realm of the mind is ruled by used car salesman types. Weirdly, people just keep going along with all the lies.

Elon Musk is one of the most obvious frauds there is. His PR narrative is he's Tony Stark and something from an Ayn Rand novel, but SpaceX and Tesla are more or less spin offs of the Federal Government. Tesla was made possible by taxpayer money and government mandates. Ironically the people who bought a Tesla because of too many CO2 molecules swirling around their heads now hate Tesla and Elon Musk because he's a fascist or whatever nonsense they believe today.

Anyway, I thought I'd write about a less prominent swindler/literal car salesman who utterly wrecked Stellantis but got paid $39.5 million dollars in his last year as a CEO. Carlos Tavares was the CEO of "Stellantis", the US market Chrysler/Jeep/Fiat and made over $100M in the four years he had the job. It seems that company painted itself into a corner with high vehicle prices and sketchy quality.

Why even write about what's the norm? There's not really any point.

Failing Life Scripts

My wife and I are watching "Gilmore Girls" which was first broadcast back in 2000. It's pretty interesting to watch as a cultural artifact, but is not something I'd typically want playing in the background in the evening chill out time.

One of the main characters Rory Gilmore is a high school, then college student who wants to be a news reporter even as that industry was already disintigrating. The show pretends like the newspaper industry was viable and thriving when even in the early 2000s it was already falling apart. I'm in my 50s now, and I started real adult life in the early 90s, and I can't remember the last time I had a newspaper subscription. All the friends and family members I have who worked in the news media eventually moved on, because it was a dead/dying industry in the early 2000s. Even today cable news channels like CNN are on their last legs.

Anyway, a whole shitload of life scripts like "news reporter" turned non-viable just during my adult life. In fact, the general idea that a person could go to college, major in any random thing, and graduate and make a upper middle class salary are long gone. In fact, now a college degree can be much more of a burden than a path to success if a kid takes out a student loan; even if they have wealthy parents or grandparents who can finance their education, it's still potentially a big waste of resources that could be better applied elsewhere.

I think the average person experiences systemic economic failure through failure of the life scripts. When the plans they received through their education and upbringing don't work, it's very stressful and difficult to adjust.

One way to interpret the 2024 and 2016 election is the MAGA republicans want to restore the viability of the life scripts that worked in 1955. They think it's possible to use the regulatory system and tariffs to resuscitate manufacturing in the US to bring back high wage manufacturing jobs. Maybe it's possible, but essentially the whole neoliberal program needs to be rolled back and there's no signs of that from Trump who in his first term undid some post 2008 banking regulations. The neoliberal system is essentially a giant parasite that sucked wealth out of the population via the financial system, and banks are a key component of that theft.

What was the neoliberals' vision of the future? What are the life scripts on offer from the democrats? It is the "own nothing and be happy future" where most people are proles who survive on Bill Gates brand bug paste, don't own a house, and get a monthly welfare payment in the form of crypto currency. Some apparatchik class manages the system and preaches about butt sex and pronouns and tells you what the temperature of the earth should be. It's very bizarre to me to see my left wing friends and family continue to recite the bullshit associated with their bizarro world neopuritan religion.

I think neither MAGA nor Bill Gates' dystopia will happen in the US. In fact I think the "belief" based society is a thing of the past and being molded and shaped by life scripts and a failing system is just a recipe for personal unhappiness if not an early demise. The follow on to the neoliberal system is the no-system IMO, well at least for people like me. I think giant bureaucratic entities like countries and mega corporations will falter as well because all that shit is built on training, and really an agreement between the people and the people who run the institutions that the life scripts will work... but now there's no script.

I think the COVID scenario was a sneak preview of the downside of "belief" and following the rando opinions of authority figures and their scripts. It showed that you basically have to assay information yourself and make up your own mind and that the system is predatory and is built on lies. "Should I take the covid juice?" For me it was a clear "no". For most people it wasn't a decision they made, they just went along with what was just a sales pitch from pharma companies. The dopes that run corporations tried to strong arm their employees to take the juice too.

Anyway, it's early days for these changes. The future life scripts will be based on what rando individuals come up with as the system neoliberal corporatocracy system flails and dies off.

Ego Based Society Sucks

When I was in High School, my friends and I were guided down a path of "achievement" mainly by praise and vague promises of future financial success. For example, I was a musician and eventually became the "first chair" player in the band in my section and participated in myriad band activities over the years. The real reason I did that was all my social connections were band people, but I never really liked playing and wasn't "into music" like a lot of people are. It never occurred to me to sit down and listen to jazz records for example. Then when I was in college, I had a music scholarship, so I was forced to keep playing. Once I was out of school I barely ever touched a musical instrument again. I have a twinge of nostalgia for it once in a while, but I know I won't practice and seek out opportunities to play, so I don't bother with it.

Lots of kids were in a similar situation in their particular niche--maybe it was sports; maybe it was some other performing art; maybe it was 4H or horse riding or something similar. The school scenario grooms people into a world where they can be the center of attention every once in a while and maybe win a ribbon or stand on a podium, or have an article about their performance in the school paper. Some kids might love the thing they're doing in faux competitions, others might be blase about it like I was with music.

One common factor to all those performance based ego-feeding sessions is the competition is really limited and is essentially a fraud. A good high school musician might never be a world class soloist that can play in an orchestra for example. A high school football player can be good within their entire conference but be miles away from a Division I college player.

Anyway, in short, life's problems really are nothing like the faux competitions kids are groomed to invest so much time and energy in. There's some valuable habits that can come from training to be a musician or athlete, but the overall structure of the programs is very misleading and damaging and artificially limits the horizons of kids.

The critique of "track based" education that sort of reformed schools in the US has some merit, but the system that's replaced it is obviously way worse. Schools replaced faux competition with praise of everybody and now the students are just entitled retards and brats based on the reports I've seen.

The Montessori school system seems better; they basically throw the kids into real life with training wheels, then the kids learn in the context of doing real things. Kids run businesses for example, or learn about biology in the context of a farm, and that kind of thing. I have no idea how that system works with respect to the ego based/faux competition scenarios I was constantly in, so I can't comment on it, but one of the major problems with the faux competition scenario is it trains the ego to stay in the world of lies instead of grooming students to deal with real reality.

For example, a business can fail no matter how hard a person works, how smart they are, etc... A person groomed to believe the praise they received their whole life might misjudge what "failure" means. There's a fake praise feedback loop instead of feedback based on real world performance, or real world scenarios where performance doesn't even impact the outcome, which is quite common in real life.

Grounding kids in real world scenarios would produce a much healthier society based on realism, but it's a lot easier to manipulate a population that's trained to pursue ribbons, trophies, and public praise and fake money.

The Ego Delusion/Matrix

A person's brain builds up a model of external reality over the course of a person's life mainly through a process of trial and error. One element of that model is very basic and physical. Very early on in life individuals learn there's a distinction between their body and the outside world. In fact, the play that kids participate in basically builds up the detail of the model of physical reality versus their body. Jumping from a height, or tumbling, or climbing a tree, or balancing on things like a pipe, or rocks, etc... builds up the accuracy and fidelity of that model through a trial and error process. I still remember, decades later, my mistaken understanding of various aspects of the physical world versus my body. I burnt my leg on a tractor exhaust when I was about 10 for example. I fell on some slippery tree roots when I was maybe 14, etc...

A similar trial and error process takes place in many other aspects of life, but unlike the physical feedback that comes from a fall, a burn, or a cut which is very direct and immediate, the feedback from interactions with the human world is muted or non-existent and can be prone to misinterpretation and self-deception. The resulting model a person forms about reality can be faulty. Another factor in the human world is deceit, lies, and predatory grooming by third parties.

There's a severe lack of a "wisdom tradition" in the western peoples. If there ever was such a thing it was obliterated by christian religious institutions, governments, corporations, and the like. Any wisdom tradition wold be an enemy of the vile parasites who benefit most from those structures and would be attacked viciously.

One great example that combines many of these factors together is diamond engagement rings: a mass delusion scam that's inflicted on people throughout the western world. Most young people have no wisdom passed along about relationships, differences between men and women, etc... they have to learn it through trial and error, and possibly just observation of their parents, but also quite unfortunately through the popular media like movies and TV shows.

There are countless movies and TV shows that feature a young couple getting engaged. Often a diamond ring is embedded in the plot, perhaps as a family "heirloom" passed down multiple generations. Another trope is an improvised engagement ring could be used in some quirky romantic comedy. Anyway that trope is pounded into the culture mainly to benefit the shiny rock industry.

The diamond engagement ring scam is a great example of how the "cultural" model of reality is sort of built up in an open-loop system compared to the physical model of reality. What informs a woman's notion of the value of a diamond ring? She sees other women with a shiny rock and they collectively decide a shiny bauble is valuable and the more it costs the higher her "status" is among her peers.

Status seeking and ego protecting prevent feedback about the "real world" from informing the trial and error model development of reality. For most young people, an expensive engagement ring is basically a severe allocation of resources error. An engagement ring today might cost thousands of dollars that most young people don't have, but it's actually worth dozens of dollars of precious metals and shiny rocks. 

Partisan Democrats are Retarded

A few years after Obama was elected, I finally realized the President is a total puppet and both politicial parties are only competent at corruption. It took a few more years until I really purged the residue of the lies and behavioral training that scumbag politicians and media sources inflict on the public, then the democrat mafia went way over the top with the covid scam, I was completely done with the whole circus... Every national election year I just hope a small asteroid will blast DC off the map when all the national politicians are there.

I try to avoid all news about the 2024 presidential election, but I can't help see snippets and headlines about the stupid debates that are already taking place. I realized Joe Biden had soup brains in 2020--now it's soup that's been rotting for 4 years. Joe Biden shows the President is purely a figurehead. The US is run by his handlers and donors right now. Who are those people? What's their agenda?

Joe Biden's soup brain won't stop partisan democrats from voting blue this year, and won't stop them believing that "democracy" is under threat from the cartoon villain Trump. It is bizarre to me to hear full grown adults buy into all the lies they hear about Trump or Biden and "what's at stake" in this election.

The only thing either party cares about is cashing in at taxpayer expense and maybe advancing pet projects that require national level resources, like more jews incorporated promoted wars.

Neither party nor Trump represents a chance at the purging that's really required to make the US a functional representative government. The US is a corporate oligarchy that's currently managed through agencies like the CDC, EPA, FCC, SEC, etc... Corporations literally run those agencies via employees who pretend they don't work for a Bank, Verizon, or Pfizer or whatever while they have a government job. The money interests want an authoritarian style government where any competition is squashed, whether it's competition for public opinion or profits.

I think the GOP partisans are slightly wiser than democrat partisans. The republican partisans at least distrust the government and have some skepticism. The democrats are completely retarded and seem to be boosters of authoritarian measures to inflict their dumb ass ideas on everyone; a handful of those dopes continue to believe the hype around covid in spite of their personal experience. To them, being on the blue team and having the right neo-puritanical beliefs is more important than real world outcomes.

Sports and the World of Lies

My family wasn't really into pro sports or college sports when I was growing up. We did watch some NFL games over the years, but I was never a super fan like some of my classmates. I'd watch some Browns games when they were good, but I didn't care at all about the other big pro sports in the US, like baseball---yawn---and I don't think I ever watched a single NBA game. As an adult I watched the NFL off and on for years. Sometimes I would get really into it, but eventually I just completely tuned out.

One of the things that killed my interest in pro sports was the doping scandals in cycling in the 1990s and early 2000s. I followed bicycle racing back then, mainly because I was doing local bike races myself. The sport was plagued by rumors of systematic doping the whole time I watched. Then eventually the reality of the sport spilled out into public in a pretty ugly way, all the details came out. That is the details of the medical procedures and mechanics of cheating tests spilled out into the news.

I realized pro sports was basically a huge medical experiment. Chances are really good that world class, or professional athletes in every sport are on some kind of medical program. There might be a handful of true "natty" pro athletes out there, but all the famous people are basically a prize cow that's managed and controlled by a team of doctors and trainers.

The very interesting thing about pro sports and doping is the reality of doping and the medical angle of sports has to be ignored and pushed out of the public consciousness. It's been a mystery to me for years why that's the case.

Sports is a part of the entertainment industry, and ultimately is all about selling corporate crap. It's as crucial to keeping the status quo in power as religion or politics. Why can't pro athletes or pro sports organizations acknowledge the importance of hormone treatments and medical programs? Why do they have to pretend it's all natural? It's really quite interesting.

The narratives of pro sports are basically folk stories. The whole pro sports industry reinforces and reflects the beliefs of the public who venerate athletes. The athletes are role models for children for example, that is the fictional character athletes portray are heroes and role models. The folk belief is good and admirable qualities of the athlete lead to success. Also, people believe the sports stars are basically blessed by the gods. People want to be like their heroes or want to make their heroes happy so they buy shoes they endorse, or drink sports drinks they sell, etc... The medical reality really clashes with that narrative.

Many people prefer to live in the fantasy land. Lots of fans insist, for example, that pro cycling today is "clean" by magic testing programs, and that the super stars of the sport are all natty even though they are faster than mega dopers of the 1990s up mountains in bike races. Fans regurgitate the same type of PR lies that were promoted about Lance Armstrong back in the early 2000s about contemporary star cyclists.

"Right Wing" Supporters of Israel

I see some Israel flags hanging from houses in my 99.9% white dude county. I assume there are some jewish people who live here, but not many, and I've never seen an Israel flag hanging from a house here until recently.

Why are people hanging the flags on their homes if they're not jews?

I have dropped off social media completely over the past year or so, unless you count youtube as social media, so I'm not up to date on the daily lies and narratives spewed by corporations, governments, and the like anymore, but I noticed a couple of headlines and some video titles on youtube that suggest a plausible explanation for the israel flags on white dude houses.

It looks like the narrative from the zionist jews is that "the left" supports the Palestinians as part of wokeness, rather than they dislike a government murdering thousands of civilians and stealing their stuff. I guess some "right" leaning people always want to jump on a side against the "woke" commies.

Guess who the woke commies are and where communism came from? A whole shit pile of jewish intellectuals and psychos who murdered millions of people in the 20th century. So you get to "choose" sides between jew mafia A and jew mafia B if you want to "join" a side.

Are all jews in the jew mafias? Of course not. In fact I think the jew mafias show how being an ethnic booster is pretty retarded. Kurt Vonnegut had a fake word "granfaloon" that described the madness of being part of a group like that, which springs to my mind all the time because it's so common.

It boggles my mind that the "leaders" of these jew mafias have their propaganda on blast 24/7 and have been doing that for thousands of years, not only on their own people, but on anyone who would listen to their insanity. However, once you see the lies, it's very obvious and absurd.

I assume there's other ethnic and religious groups spewing narratives all the time as well, but it's orders of magnitude less than the jew mafia propaganda. I recently chucked their bible into the trash and it felt quite good, but that's a minuscule fraction of all the lies that people are exposed to their whole lives from all sorts of sources. I think it's all but impossible to be as cynical as the world of lies warrants. 

Pfizer Exec Says they are "Directing" Covid Mutations

I'm suspicious about Project Veritas. It seems like a pretty good way to promote scripted reactions in segments of the US population. All their candid camera interviews could be staged and faked. Who knows? In the world of lies, it's probably best to assume everything is fake. Today, Veritas released a video interview with a Pfizer executive who says the company is basically breeding covid viruses in a lab.

If that's true, it's beyond criminal. Pfizer is a clear and present danger to millions of people and has engaged in something transcending mere fraud and homicide.

I am guessing absolutely nothing will happen as a result, that is, nothing from government agencies or officials: the US federal government is totally corrupt and incompetent.

If anything is going to ever happen to reset the system, it's going to be mass action from randos. That will only happen after multitudes of people have nothing to lose. 

Every Contract is a Deal with the Devil

 Kyrie Irving is getting screwed left, right, and center by the NBA and corporations he had endorsements with first because he refused the vaccines, and then because he posted a link to a supposedly "anti-semitic" documentary. The former basketball star Shaq actually showed the same movie "Hebrews to Negroes" in his movie theater chain a few years ago, by the way.

Professional athletes are almost completely borged into the system with complex contracts. They basically become a corporate entity and property that can be monetized and traded. Popular musicians enter into similar agreements with corporations and their management.

Kyrie will probably have to sue the NBA and the team he played for to recover some of his lost pay. It seems unlikely that sharing a link to a movie should allow the NBA to rewrite his contract and basically rob him. It might take multiple years for that to work out in his favor.

Anyway, there's a famous trope in movies and TV shows: the deal with the devil, or the crossroads demon devil. Various musicians, like Bob Dylan, have claimed to be in a blood contract with Satan.

I don't think they're even lying or exaggerating. Every contract is a deal with "the devil".

There's no contracts in the natural world. There's only Natural Law. Every contract and every law is a product of the world of man/world of lies. The mythical world of lies is ruled by the Author of Lies, which is also the god of the Bible. The covenants of whoever wrote the bible are really contracts with the God of this Earth, that is, the devil.

Propaganda Makes the Government Look Dumb

I see a handful of news stories about the war in Ukraine every day. Several of them are completely made up propaganda stories. For some reason media in the USA lies about what's going on there. I think the government pays media outlets to run pre-fab stories. For example, a few weeks ago media were publishing made up stories about a Ukrainian ace fighter pilot who shot down Russian planes by the dozen--the story was totally fake. I think the majority of "news" about that war is similarly fake.

What's the point? It really doesn't matter what the US public thinks about the war in Ukraine. That won't change the outcome there at all. It only serves to undermine the US government and media for anyone that's actually paying attention.

There are two completely contrary narratives about Russia: one is it's totally weak and falling apart and being defeated single handedly by plucky Ukrainians and their actor and show biz led government. The other is Russia threatens everyone in the world with destruction because they're a giant, ruthless superpower. Well. Which one is it? If Russia "wins", what will all the media people say? Oops! We were "wrong" the whole time.

People in the US would be much better served by the actual truth, of course. It would help them make plans in their own life if they are somehow involved in eastern European affairs. Instead, ironically we have a soviet style government and media and a bunch of expensive lies. I assume the feds are spending millions of dollars on the propaganda.

Who am I?

I didn't see The Matrix until it came out on DVD. The movie helped millions of people realize all at once that, yes, we do live in a completely false world. The lies of the government, Hollywood, bankers and media started to get more obvious over the next 20 years too. Quite a few people then drew the conclusion that the matrix is a contrivance of the oligarchy... so if people could overthrow the oligarchs we would be out of the matrix.

Wrong.

Who is the "you" that watched The Matrix? It's actually your strawman, or your ego who watched the movie. It's like you were Neo in the Matrix watching the Matrix DVD. Then you proceed to try to get out of the Matrix using the tools and materials of the matrix itself.

Who or what is that strawman? The strawman is a subset of your consciousness--it's the mental model version of yourself that lives in your self-created matrix.

It lives in the parallel universe of our consciousness and imagination. There is so much emphasis and focus on the strawman that people think it is absolutely real. A process of indoctrination and training convinces people, from an early age that the shadow world of their imagination is the real world--they think they live in a map rather than real reality.

Lets expand on that with one concrete example: social stigma of shitty car ownership. Many people believe they must own a new, clean car. Advertisers placed one notion in their head: "I will be happy if I have a fancy new car"--somehow that gets inverted to the belief that car ownership is part of social status maintenance, i.e. "If I don't own a fancy new car, I am trash." There are, of course, myriad variations on that theme.

How does that actually work? In the fancy car owners mind, their strawman is subject to imagined bullying and scorn that probably dates back to childhood indoctrination and trauma experienced in school. The car owner confuses this parallel universe reality for the real world. The imagined parallel universe is strictly in the car owner's consciousness.

In reality, others barely notice cars unless they are new and interesting or old junky and interesting, and then it's only for a moment. The same thing applies to clothes, shoes, haircuts, houses, etc...

The model reality in the parallel dimension of the strawman is vast and varied and spills over into the real world. The "god" of that shadow realm is unfortunately the big God of the Bible. It's the literal triangle god.

The shadow world is not the real world. The strawman is not "you". The triangle god is the god of that realm, not the real world.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine and USA War on Iraq

It's bad that Russia invaded Ukraine. It's also bad that the USA invaded Iraq.

Compare the two country's approaches.

The USA blocked Iraq for years, literally starving the population, then after 9/11 it waged all out war with minimal regard for the civilian population. The generally accepted civilian body count is around 200,000. Some people think it's much higher. The "shock and awe" campaign obliterated civilian infrastructure and killed people indiscriminately.

Russia has killed civilians in its invasion, but is obviously using more care and caution. It's still not good, but the US is worse.

There was no condemnation in the media about the war in Iraq that was based on outright lies and basically just benefited defense contractors and maybe Israel. Iraq posed no threat at all to the American people. The war ended up as a total clusterfuck and waste. People knew it was going to turn out that way from day one--but Joe Biden didn't... neither did Hillary Clinton, by the way.

It's a mistake to think Putin is a great dude, or that the Russian national government is "good and just". It's also a mistake to believe "the west" are the good guys in the current conflict. They're all bad. The west is even worse, though.

It's really unfortunate the peoples of the world can't just shove their governments out of the way and get on with life.

Welcome to the World of CovAIDS

 Back in the beginning of the covid saga, people were using the term "covaids" as a pejorative for the hysteria because it was like the AIDS story back in the 80s--a big pack of lies about what AIDS/HIV actually were and who it might infect. Fauci, the gnome like creature at the heart of the covid saga was also at the heart of the AIDS story and promoted the fear porn that scared everyone.

Now the "media" is promoting various AIDS scare stories and AIDS cure stories. It's so heavy handed. The scare story is that AIDS is now "transmissible". OK. Sure, after 40 years AIDS suddenly changed to be transmissible in the wake of a giant scam/scare? Seems legit.

The scumbags who scammed people on covid are now going to try to sell AIDS vaccines to the general public--not to gays and drug users. They'll try to get infants to take AIDS vaccines. They're trash.

Cheat Sheet on Who to Trust

The events of 2020/21 are apocalyptic in the sense that much has been revealed. One of the key things is the people who run the goverments, like the people in DC or the people in London, are the worst humans on the planet. They're literally incapable of doing anything good.

Corporations are similar. The bigger the corporation the worse it is. It's a lucky accident if some corporation is doing anything good for anybody.

The media is the same. It's almost all lies. There's no point even paying attention.

Colleges and Universities are pretty bad, too. They're mainly selling debt to dummies. A sizeable fraction of degrees have a negative ROI compared to not going to college at all.

Really, almost the entirety of the "white collar" world is looking pretty suspect and parasitic. How many people are producing things of real value or use? 

One World Pyramid and Control Grid

I went to a talk in the mid 1990s held at a San Francisco bookstore, where an author was describing the coming egalitarian super free utopian technology world that'd be powered by the Internet. I don't remember the guy's name, but I asked him why anything would be different than any other time when a new technology came out.

The western world seems to be constantly plagued with Oligarchs and shitty governments. There's a lot of propaganda and lies to make it seem like we're really super free, but look around today--look at a shithole like Australia or New Zealand where they surrendered the most basic freedoms over a cold and flu blug.

The next obvious step in this charade is to roll out the one world electronic control grid. That's why there's the whole RealID thing, by the way. They want people to all be uniquely identifiable and registered in a database that's run by some gross piece of shit inbred freak oligarchs in central and eastern europe. Fuck them.

The electronic control grid is just a world wide concentration camp where the fence is around each individual.

It didn't take long to go from "internet freedom" to worldwide gulag run by scumbags like bankers.

Will humanity rally in the 11th hour and suddenly become a lot wiser? Maybe, who knows.

Were They All Like Jussie Smollet?

Remember when Jussie (sp?) Smollet (sp?) pretended to be "lynched" by MAGA hat wearing white people in Chicago in winter at like 2AM? It was one of the most absurd false flag attempts ever. It seems like the guy is vaguely affiliated with the Obamas. Who knows if he was acting on orders or doing it himself. In any case, it was very obviously staged. Nobody believed him, and the police actually immediately investigated and exposed Smollet.

I think almost every national tragedy and calamity is some version of that. 9/11 certainly was. The Oklahoma City bombing almost certainly was. The list goes on and on.

Was it always as fake and obvious as Jussie Smollet? I am thinking it was. The difference is the people have finally caught on.

I was looking at some pictures of Obama, Bush, Bubba Bill and Biden at some 9/11 memorial ceremony. They epitomize the trashy, greedy evil of the US Empire: Satan Incorporated. They're all sort of dumb, incompetent trash. They can read a script. They can convince many people they're really important and "great", but other than that they're almost entirely useless.

"W" Bush was reading some script about "domestic terrorists"--which is anyone who disagrees with Satan Incorporated and who doesn't want to be a slave that eats bug paste so all the wealth in the world can be enjoyed by assholes like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. They're trying to paint that picture now.

Some portion of the population is hypnotized and believes the constant stream of lies from the federal government--maybe 20% of the people. However a very large block of people actually woke up.

The worst nightmare of some scumbag like Joe Biden is that people see through his act.... and now they have in very large numbers. People see through "W" and his act, Obama and Clinton too.
