Just Walk Away: The Only Viable Strategy

In the past few decades, an international oligarchy took control of the USA via the financial system. Now they seem to want to impose an authoritarian technocratic system on the country. The Covid nonsense is a preview of how they want to do that; they'll electronically track people and use government agencies and NGOs to interfere in mundane day-to-day life decisions.

The best strategy to "fight" is really to just walk away from all their systems and build new ones--which probably won't even be that difficult. I think that strategy is actually viable in the US. The oligarchs are a tiny portion of the population. They derive their living via a giant parasitic system.

A sustainable, regionally self sufficient system is anathema to globalists and globalism and even to banks.

I really hope there's a mass awakening across the nation, but I'm not holding my breath. I expect I'll have to hit the "Eject" button from the corporate consumer society sometime in the next 2 years--and I won't be alone; it'll probably be millions of people in a relatively short period of time.

My guess is some of the more  draconian elements of the Covid plan will come through corporations first. The people who don't want a tracking app or a vaccine will just leave their jobs. It might be a rough couple years, but I think the potential for rebuilding, almost from scratch, is also pretty exciting.

Covid Mortality Rates in Perspective


In the worst hit parts of the country, the deaths per 100k is on par with "lifetime odds" of dying from a pedestrian accident. This is not an apples to apples stat comparison, but it's probably a reasonable rough-order-of-magnitude estimate. Interestingly, the NSC hasn't calculated a lifetime odds of dying from the 'rona, because according to them "it's too soon to know". That's a cop out. They could model the odds of a typical person based on the current data, which is pretty elaborately detailed. The odds of dying seems to really vary by demographic and state and health. I think they want to avoid doing that modeling because it would seriously undermine the bullshit scare narrative.

Huge Variation in Covid Mortality Across the US

As interest in race riot propaganda declines, media is brainwashing gullible people in a second "wave" of Covid hysteria. (If you look at google trends for Covid and George Floyd, you'll see that the terms are inversely correlated.)

There's a huge variation in death rate for Covid-19 across the country. The worst areas are in the East Coast Megalopolis region. There, deaths per 100k were over 600. In the rest of the country, Covid is about as lethal as a walk in the park.

Here's the stats per state: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/

Here's a map of the NYC hellhole: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page



Even within NYC, there's huge variation. Some parts are more like the rest of the country. Some parts look like they were hit with deliberate sabotage or a chemical weapon or something.

Anyway, the huge variation by region is similar within the rest of the states. More rural areas have 0 deaths attributed to Covid. Cities have it the worst. It seems like demographics and population density were the main drivers of the outcome.

Natural "Planning" Example

I've  been working hard to improve our garden over the past few years, and I'm trying hard to apply some of the concepts I've been enumerating on this blog. How does "natural planning" work? In addition to the manual labor I've done and the building projects I've done, I spend a lot of time looking at the garden without really thinking about it verbally. Then eventually, maybe in days or weeks, I get what amounts to a "revelation".

For example, I've spent many days thinking about why the best area of the garden and the best plant was the result of random circumstances. Very often the converse is true as well--the least well performing parts of the garden took the most planning and labor. For example, over the past few years I've tried to grow corn--each season was pretty disappointing. Last year weather caused problems (too cool and rainy), the prior year, the garden soil was just not good enough. This year, it looks like the corn might do well---although the weather is starting to turn overly rainy and wet now.

Gardening or farming is an attempt to move some fairly large area of land out of a stable equilibrium condition--ideally to a new equilibrium that favors food crop plants or trees. I'm trying to do that gradually and consistently, so all year round the garden is growing something, even in the depths of winter, some living root is in the ground. Eventually, in the new equilibrium, the food plants and cover crops will completely out compete the weeds. (mainly due to mycrorrhizal fungi)

The reason the non-plan/"random" volunteer plants do so well is they're basically self-selecting or "finding" ideal growing conditions. Generally our plans--like prepping an area for corn--are an attempt to "optimize" some scenario, even though we have partial, incomplete or wrong information. For example, if you add a bunch of manure to some part of the garden, the assumption is the soil is "the best" for a given plant, while in reality, maybe small patches, or a some specific mix of plants in a small patch is 100x better than the newly prepared area with a monoculture. That will always be the case, because the potential combinations are infinite in even a small area, and the winning combination might be selected by weather conditions which are totally random and unknowable.

The "technique" then would be to set the stage for that self selection to happen each season and go with the flow. The Fukuoka Seed Ball is one example of that. An intermediate technique between random, nature selected planting of crops, and traditional methods is companion planting, or even just mixing up plants in beds--for example, mixing corn and beans, or potatoes, celery, tomatoes, all in some bed.

Covid Mass Hysteria and Lies



A link to the the chart has been circulating in the chats of various web sites; a few people have created the same chart from the same data and posted it around. It shows the mortality rate per 100,000 people in Sweden over the flu season since 1990/91. The rate is basically flat year to year. There's no massive spike from Covid-19.


The media is ramping up propaganda for additional "lockdowns". The states with the most corrupt governors, like New York, are enacting new measures based on this hoax, like requiring quarantine for people from Florida or whatever. The Media is lying about a "spike" in cases in various states, like Arizona, but the chart above shows hospitalizations are dropping for the dreaded 'rona.

It seems pretty likely this is a deliberate provocation and plan to incite a violent reaction from the general public. The best thing to do is ignore the hysterical people and ridicule the media.

Natural Planning


For the past several years I've been haunted by the idea that agriculture is humanity's original sin. It's quite possible that "Eden" was the Pleistocene world and the world of man, the Holocene, is really a sort of self-made hell. The attempt to escape the cycles of nature and natural systems that make life possible is maybe fundamentally flawed and futile.

If you leave a plot of land alone, it will move to a equilibrium condition that converts as much sunlight as possible to life. If you reformat that land into a garden or a farm, and eliminate most plants and animals from it, only a fraction of the sunlight that falls on it will be converted to life. In fact, you'll have to expend energy by weeding, tilling, or covering the ground to keep the land in a state of disequilibrium.

Farming, though, accomplishes a number of key things: it makes the harvest relatively predictable and labor/time efficient; and it becomes easier to build and use infrastructure near the land that's being worked so harvested food can be processed and stored. That's really the basis for our whole civilization: storing seeds or grain in a jar, or storing hay in a barn. "Wealth" was the province of the god Pluto--the king of the underworld, that is the winter and the dead, that is the stored life.

The dead world, the system world is conjured into existence and animated by men, but it has its own independent existence. It's a sort of parasite that's attached to the living world. It's a god or a demon. It is worshiped and served by some, and fed by many.


It's the eye on the top of the pyramid of the dollar bill; note how the capstone is not attached to the rest of the pyramid. It's basically in a different dimension or plane of existence. I think what's also depicted in that image is their god communicates to this world through the mind's eye and imposes its order through a harsh system. The pyramid is shaped stones piled up in a desert.

The system beast eventually becomes all consuming. We're at that point, today. The transhumanists want to go beyond that point; they are really trans-naturists. Their belief is a 100% engineered and controlled world is possible and desirable. That world is all underworld. It is illuminated by a Death Star.

If you pivot the view of the world 180 degrees and see systematic predictability as alien and draining and become life oriented rather than death oriented, the basis for agricultural planning and labor is so different that it's barely comprehensible. It's an attempt to build the mental wherewithal to participate in the complexity of nature, rather than the dull stupidity of death technology world (see Elf Tech).

The first picture in this post is an exemplification of natural planning--really there was no plan at all. The garlic grew accidentally amid the cover crops. It's the largest bulb by far of those I harvested this year, and it was also the most harmonious, peaceful, least weedy and beautiful corner of the garden so far.

There's something fatally flawed with the "plan to harvest" version of gardening--the death oriented version. The life oriented version requires plugging into a different mind's eye.

The Prevalence of Bad Choices in History

There are special periods in history where the pattern of what's to come is not set in stone. When I've read about the "Old Northwest" frontier (Ohio prior to settlement), I had the distinct impression that people could have selected among several distinct outcomes. In the late 18th century as frontiersmen and adventurers made their way across the Ohio river into Indian territory, there was no set pattern for the region. The colonial, and then US government were very weak and had no authority in that area. The tribes could have set the tone, but they failed to do so.

The tribes failed to recognize the passing of their era, and their severe disadvantage. The frontiersmen and early settlers mostly lacked the long term vision to work with the tribes or to do anything different than transform the territory into a version of New England, which was a version of Europe, which was a version of the Eurasian Steppe.

The way of life of the Indians had valuable lessons for the settlers, and vice versa, but there was actually very little hybridization of their culture even though they were neighbors for centuries. There's a fairly compelling positive argument to be made for the tribes' methods of organizing territory along natural boundaries, like watersheds and managing natural areas compared to the settlers approach, which severely degraded vast regions. For example, in only about 30 years, the tiny population of settlers completely wiped out most game species in Northeast Ohio. The arbitrary grid-like division of the US versus a more natural approach is a fingerprint of the collective mind and ideas of the European people of the 18th century.

When confronted with a novel, or chaotic situation, people tend to fall into scripted roles. (This is a secret mechanism that small groups of oligarchs use to control masses of people.) A much better outcome might be achieved by a sort of game, where the scripts and archetypes are brought forth into the conscious minds of many people.

Most of the actions of the oligarchs that create chaos revolve around compelling people to adopt short schedules for changes. In the case of the Ohio territory, for example, land companies were created to "sell" territories that were "acquired" from Indians through bogus deals. The monetization of the land of the US created a project oriented time table so the investors could be paid back. That compelled settlers to do retarded things, like burn down all the trees on their land.

Such compulsion drives people to be retarded and make bad choices en masse on behalf of truly vile and evil people.
