The Triumph of Death, Giacomo Borlone, 1485

Apr 13, 2024

Research has already established a genetically-modified third hand... flapping beside, on the left, links between the blackmail-extortion-finance racket that was Maxwell-Epstein and, on the other hand, research into mRNA and nano particles in the top universities.

Those who own and control television, news outlets and large-reach publications (including the science journals) are strands of the same apparatus that facilitates, directs and disguises such research.

Investigations continue to reveal blackmail rings, from Maxwell-Epstein to P-Diddy, following from Roy Cohn and J Edgar Hoover. No-one can say why or how they achieved their purpose or what was the object or result of their efforts.

Microscopy continues to reveal strange structural formations in the blood after the mass roll-out of the Covid shot. No-one can say why or how, or by whom they were disseminated, or what is their purpose — though we are seeing the effects.

The mechanisms have been exposed. The objective is as yet unclear.

TL;DR

There is a lively debate over the possibility of the Covid injectable being contaminated, by design, by sloppiness or not at all.

There is, at the very least, a wide variation in side effects between batches. Some researchers imply that lots were varied for "in vivo" testing - former president Barack Obama said: "We've essentially clinically tested the vaccine on billions of people worldwide."

Others concede there was contamination, but imply it was not deliberate. When reports first emerged of researchers claiming to see nano fragments in 2021, a Reuters fact check said they were contamination by dust particles and fibres.

In Oct 2023 evidence emerged that the mRNA injectable approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medical Association — even under emergency use authorisation — could not be manufactured at scale and was replaced with a "dirty" formula that was not the one given emergency use authorization. This contained "plasmoid DNA" fragments. The version called Cominarty which received FDA approval in Aug 2022, was never manufactured at scale.

Phillip Buckhaults, a cancer genomics expert, and professor at the University of South Carolina has testified before a South Carolina Senate medical affairs ad-hoc committee about contamination of the Covid injectables with DNA fragments. Here is a quote of the FDA's response.

The word used by Dr Peter McCullough for the shot is a "military countermeasure." The injection's development by the Pentagon and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been traced through patents, contracts and grants by Dr David Martin, Katherine Watt, Sasha Latypova and others.

Bio-digital fusion

Micro implantables or lipid nanoparticles (LNP) are central to the merger of man and machine.

You may consider this to be the stuff of science fiction but Yuval Harari and Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum talk about it all the time: "The fusion of our physical, our digital, and our biological identities." as the latter puts it.

Pay attention to the words. He does not say "merge," in which physical and digital identity may overlap, but "fuse". And why not say the physical body, if that's what he means, but specifically your "biological" identity?

Desire or intent

Perhaps they are psychotic: Harari and Schwab hardly help the image.

The researcher Dr. David Nixon told Christopher James on the podcast "A Warrior Calls":

"The (the WEF) make these really confident claims about how we are all hackable animals, and how we are going to own nothing and be happy. We're going to build back better and so forth.

Where does that confidence come from? It either comes from being completely psychotic, which is clearly part of it, or these people know something that we don't. And I am concerned that this is part of what they know that we don't; and we need to understand this fast." [1]

Telly time! Na-nu, na-nu

Nanotech research is at least 60 years old - a couple of decades before the 1978 US television show Mork & Mindy. American physicist and Nobel Prize laureate Richard Feynman introduced the concept of nanotechnology in 1959. Blackmail, on the third hand, is as old as the hills.

Klaus Schwab, co-founder of the World Economic Forum has spoken of implantable circuitry that would allow people to communicate like Mork.

If a "conspiracy theorist" listens to those who promote themselves as "thought leaders" then we can say, in some cases, such people are one and the same.

Families, tribes, networks

If we don't talk about the Epstein-mRNA/ DNA science link, it's not for lack of knowledge.

We can even see overlaps between this military, pharma, big tech media operation: the Maxwell family has a long history in scientific publication and the promotion of particular scientists. It was Ghislaine's father Robert who first held glamorous parties to promote scientists as celebrities.

See Maxwell Case: Surveilled And Silenced - Twitter censors trial coverage as FBI connections broached (Dec 10, 2021)

Robert (born Ján Ludvík Hoch) made his money as a media proprietor (most notably Pergamon Press, originally Butterworth and controlled by Western intelligence, and later the Daily Mirror). As a spy he was involved in the transfer of Promis surveillance software and the arrest of nuclear scientist Mordechai Vanunu.

Epstein's focus was also scientists, especially in nanotech and gene manipulation — as misdirection he spoke almost ludicrously of wanting to father his own race of children. [2]

An island, off limits

The legacy media won't go there. Much of the mainstream alternative media is equally allergic to what may wash up on the beach. This reveals a third strand to our quest: ownership and control of the media.

One reason the international press shy away from these connections is the incestuous and dynastic nature of politics today. The press talks of nepo babes in the entertainment industry but it is equally a feature of politics.

U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's step-father Samuel Pisar was Robert Maxwell's long time lawyer and consigliere He's not the only one. Attorney General in the previous administration William Barr, who is a former CIA lawyer, is the son of the man who gave Epstein his first job - as an unqualified maths teacher at the Dalton School.

Avoiding embarrassment to those in power may not be the reason.

NLP, LNP

Neuro linguistic programming may ensure a gushing response in the press to the concept of lipid nanoparticles. Yet with the release of mRNA shots the toxicity of lipid nanoparticles (LNP) attracted attention.

It is only now that LNP-mRNA is being identified as something that causes hypersensitivity reactions, or HSRs, which can manifest as anaphylaxis, myocarditis, throat swelling, respiratory failure and haemodynamic changes or alterations to the blood visible under the microscope.

Some blame the spike protein, others say the component that creates most adverse reaction is PEGylated lipid within LNP-mRNA.

The journal Nature published a study whose abstract begins by heaping praise on mRNA's "transformative technology" before weaselling in the main finding: "avoiding unacceptable toxicity with mRNA drugs and vaccines presents challenges." [3]

Scientists know they must tread carefully when challenging research that has been canonized as government policy, consecrated by state funding, and sanctified as Da Science.

The Nature study is behind a paywall, not fully obscured, but why hidden at all?

Transmission mechanism

The WEF may seem like a forum for futurists and dreamers but it brings together the world's most powerful corporations, and it serves as a training ground for politicians, the "Young Global Leaders" (founded in 1992 as "Global Leaders for Tomorrow").

Thus corporations and politicians are joined at the hip with bureaucrats and the institutions of international government.

In 2019 it joined up with the United Nations as the "UN-Forum Partnership" to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which they renewed in 2023 with the objective of "catalysing" the Net Zero carbon and climate agendas by 2025.

The agreement in 2019 focused on six policies: financing the 2030 Agenda, Climate Change, health, digital cooperation, gender equality and empowerment of women, education and skills.

The initial four goals are concrete — SMART cities, Net Zero, the decade of vaccines and digital ID — but the final three provide the cover story and the emotional impulse or dysphoria.

Distractions and dead ends

We must weigh news not only according to what the media says but by what it denies, and how strongly.

Any discussion of health measures immediately attracts the Fakt Cheka like flies on the proverbial.

Are these even health measures? Covid was a massive response by bureaucrats worldwide, often bypassing leaders and legislatures, who mouthed the identical words, "reset and build back better."

They locked down society, distanced and quarantined the healthy, censored protestors, using police to brutalise dissenters, and mandated shots for many professions – for a coronavirus or relative of the common cold.

Then they arrested the man behind the technology.

3. Brazil's Free Speech Garrote A Globalist Plot

Creeping globalism seeks to impose universal censorship and control
Journalists confirm bank accounts frozen for criticizing government
Identical to Canada's treatment of truckers; coming to you soon
Deputy Gustavo Gayer tells European Parliament: 100s of political prisoners
Brazil's supreme court justice announces investigation into Elon Musk

Extradition demand for dissidents sheltering abroad
We are not in a post-truth world. Truth stands no matter if a lie is repeated

(2,400 words or about 12 minutes of your company)

Apr 11, 2024

The pattern of behaviour is so similar to the U.S. that some are asking if the CIA and FBI are at work in Brazil.

The country has followed an eerie pattern to the United States after the Nov 2020 election:

globalists accuse Russia of interference to support Donald Trump/Jair Bolsonaro;
law enforcement agrees to political demands to censor opponents;
protests at congress portrayed as "insurrection" — Jan 6 and Jan 8;
both leaders are accused of attempting a coup;
state security services used the "insurrection" to justify further censorship.

The manipulation of social media is conducted at the highest levels of state security. After Telegram and Alphabet's Google joined a campaign against a proposed internet regulation bill, Alexandre de Moraes, justice of the Federal Supreme Court and president of the Superior Electoral Court, ordered the investigation of politicians, journalists and social media executives.

When people complained about the electoral court on social media, the court targeted those accounts, demanding they be demonetized and that information critical of the court be hidden by algorithm.

Deputy Gustavo Gayer told the European Parliament: there are hundreds and hundreds of political prisoners. "I'm talking about the biggest democratic country in Latin America."

"Elon Musk published the emails of former Twitter employees before he took over Twitter, in which Alexandre de Moraes ordered Twitter to censor all the right-wing politicians, to delete posts, to delete profiles – and to delete them while not saying it was a judicial order."

Top down

Brazil's clampdown on dissent comes straight from the top.

Following the election of Oct 2022, Brazil's attorney general said his office should combat misinformation and attacks on democracy.

The National Prosecutor's Office for the Defense of Democracy (PNDD) should take legal action whenever it thinks democracy is undermined.

The Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship in Feb 2023 set up a working group for "combatting hate speech and extremism" paying special attention to social networks.

In practice this means journalists who are critical of the government or who investigate corruption are attacked, often by "squads" of influencers who begin as sleeper cells, toiling away at pop and entertainment, celebrity and gossip, identity politics and even finance.

These online hit squads are then activated to rally their followers against government opponents or in favour of official policy.

An investigation by Brazilian journalist David Agape reveals that the government's use of influencers, bots and doxers has nothing to do with truth or the lack of it, and everything to do with day-to-day political tactics.

Worldwide clampdown

This is worrying because around the world governments are using the "defence of democracy" to pass laws giving official regulators the power to decree right from wrong, and to censor and fine those with whom they disagree.

We are not in a post-truth world. Truth stands, no matter how often a lie is repeated. It is precisely because truth is rock solid that governments descend to using tactics to reshape the political landscape or to queer the pitch — a phrase that comes from street markets where traders would manipulate the location or pitch of their stalls to take business from others.

This is in no ways limited to Brazil. Germany is considering banning its largest opposition party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in order to "protect democracy."

In the U.S. similar vested interests are trying to keep former president Donald Trump from another term by prosecuting and disqualifying him.

The European Commission is unelected; its bureaucrats and commissioners are appointed. That has not stopped them lecturing the people about misinformation. The EC is enforcing the EU Digital Services Act.

Commissioner Thierry Breton sent a letter to Facebook/Meta's Mark Zuckerberg after the Hamas attack of Oct 7: "We are seeing a surge of illegal content and disinformation… I expect you to be in touch with the relevant law enforcement authorities and Europol, and ensure that you respond promptly to any requests."

Like the EC, Australian bureaucrats are pushing through digital ID with minimal scrutiny. One can be near certain that it will be used to limit the freedom to comment online.

Former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern said at the start of the Covid response, "We will continue to be your single source of truth… Unless you hear it from us it is not the truth."

Canada was the first "democracy" to dox, sanction and defame citizens for supporting the trucker convoy against vaccine mandates and restrictions on freedom of movement.

MindWar

MindWar is the doctrine developed in the 1980s by Col Michael A. Aquino, a psychological intelligence officer with the U.S. Army and a founder of the Temple of Set, and now used by Western military on their own population as part of 5th generation warfare. It works like this:

"Essentially you overwhelm your enemy with argument. You seize control of all of the means by which his government and populace process information to make up their minds, and you adjust it so that those minds are made up as you desire."

Ban, exile, extradition

Journalist and former priest Allan dos Santos who is now an exile in the United States confirmed on Mario Nawfal's Twitter/X Space that his bank account in Brazil had been frozen, preventing him from paying for medical treatment for relatives.

Dos Santos was targeted by former Twitter head of security Yoel Roth in 2021 after individuals connected to Instituto Vero, an NGO partner of the TSE's programme to combat disinformation, as being "very problematic for us in Brazil."

Roth was famously involved in the decision to ban president Donald Trump's Twitter account the same year.

The initial pretext for censoring dos Santos was his questioning of the Covid vaccine, but Felipe Neto of Instituto Vero also cited his criticism of Brazil's government in general – and this was during the administration of president Jair Bolsonaro.

You can see that what's been labelled the "censorship industrial complex" is not concerned with veracity but compliance.

YouTube had closed dos Santos' account in 2021 on a request from the federal supreme court, STF, which the next year handed down decision suspending one of his Twitter accounts globally on the basis of fitting a "conspiracy theorist profile."

The STF is still investigating him and has filed a request for him to be extradited back to Brazil.

Twitter Files Brazil

Brazil's political prosecutors are enraged after investigations by Michael Shellenberger, and colleagues David Ágape and Eli Vieira, titled, "Twitter Files Brazil."

The supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes has demanded Twitter provide internal data and documents which expose how the court ordered the censoring of members of Brazil's Congress and party leaders including former president Jair Bolsonaro's Liberal Party and Marcel van Hattem of the NOVO party.

Supporters of current president Lula da Silva have asked for direct messages between private users to be disclosed.

De Moraes also demanded certain Twitter/X users be deplatformed.

Twitter/X owner Elon Musk says he will refuse to censor accounts in line with demands by Brazil's supreme court.

He responded that de Moraes should resign or be impeached.

Brazil's attorney general Jorge Messias criticised Musk for failing to comply. "We cannot live in a society in which billionaires domiciled abroad have control of social networks."

Messias has no problem with the likes of George and Alex Soros or Pierre Omidyar, as we shall see.

So far the platforms Locals and Rumble have not complied with demands.

Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) comprises seven justices, including its head Alexandre de Moraes. He, along with three electroal justices also sit on the supreme court (STF).

CIA and 'alt' media

From the beginning of their administrations Trump and Bolsonaro were accused of weaponising social media. Accusations that Russian online operatives generated content to sway the popular vote were thoroughly disproven - but the allegations of digital manipulation continued.

We now know that state security in the U.S. in the form of the Department of Homeland Security, CIA and FBI had thoroughly infiltrated social media and were using algorithms to promote content they deemed favourable while paying Twitter, for example, to ban accounts they did not like.

Bolsonaro was accused of running a "digital militia," allegations that persist more than a year after he left office, mainly through the efforts of supreme court minister de Moraes and his "fake news inquiry" or witch hunt.

4. 3 Crises: The Paths Of Diplomacy And Bomb Throwing

(1,400 words or a 7 minute update.)

UN urges restraint over Europe's biggest nuclear plant Zaporizhzhia

Apr 10, 2024

Israel withdraws from Gaza but not before a missile strike on Iran's embassy in Syria. Ukraine launches another bomb at a nuclear power plant the day after UN inspectors report on previous attacks on Zaporizhzhia.

Russia's foreign minister is received by China's president Xi Jinping, as they discuss the West's attempt to isolate them.

Diplomats or bombs: it is a straightforward choice and each camp has its enthusiastic adherents.

A Russian investigative committee into the Crocus expo centre massacre in Moscow on Mar 22 is probing the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, which it accuses of financing terrorism and assassinations in recent years.

Burisma is ground zero for the Ukraine regime, being a revenue stream for the country's oligarchs and a source of money laundering for U.S. oligarchs and politicians such as the Biden family (see below).

At the root is competition for resources and against the construction of rival financial alliances.

In this sense the conflict in Israel cannot be separated from East Africa and the jockeying for Red Sea ports and shipping lanes; for minerals in Africa to build SMART cities and electric everything; to France's embarrassing split with its former colonies in Africa; and the attempt to stop Russia as an energy supplier, first to Europe, then the world.

See Africa's Rebellion, Hawaii's Destruction And Smart Cities - Former colonies say 'non,' and France wants to join BRICS (Aug 31, 2023)

Russia's ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, said it had long been Washington's plan to block its exports of energy resources including natural gas.

He said this was a "blatant thirst for profit, multiplied by neocolonial aspirations" but it is also stock British policy going back centuries to suppress Russian influence in Eurasia and in particular the linkage of German manufacturing prowess with Russian energy.

Division and misdirection

While the Anglo-American Establishment, in prof Carroll Quigley's framing, promotes religious schism as a way to provoke war, redraw borders and install compliant dynastic rulers, the media is given the task of hiding and obfuscating this policy.

5. What's With Solar Eclipse Mania?

State-corporate media kindles biblical references to Apocalypse
While power brokers summon Death, Famine, War and Conquest
Media urges people to stare at the skies - look at the starry squirrel!
Distracting from evil and the need to resist

(2,400 words or 11 minutes of your company.)

Apr 6, 2024

In Oklahoma they plan to close schools for two days; in Texas heavy trucks are banned from the roads.

A four-hour event is bringing people to their knees.

In ages past, people knew little beyond their borders and an eclipse was an event that shook the known world.

But eclipse is not a universal event. Quite the opposite: what you see depends on where you stand. It is a matter of perspective.

The Apr 8 eclipse will first be visible over the South Pacific, and then from Mexico, the United States and Canada.

An eclipse is an emotional experience for some. According to clinical psychologist Kate Russo it is both physical and mental, even hypnotic. [1]

As for the media, the mania is the message. If your head is not swivelling like a camera on a selfie stick, you ain't hip to hysteria. Such fear mongering is familiar from global freezing (1970s) to global boiling (2020s) to Extinction Rebellion, the War on Terror, TDS and Russiagate, the invisible viruses and the rebranded flu.

Some will argue that the West began losing its collective sanity long ago, somewhere between the abdication of will (predestination) 500 years ago and today's conflation of will and desire (libidinal nominalism).

There is a quasi-religious aspect which Michael Shellenberger has called millenarian, in the sense of apocalyptic religious movements.

Millenarianism is the anticipation of a cataclysm preceding the arrival of the Messiah or Utopia. Today's extinctionists borrow from the Gnostics the idea that the Earth is imperfect and that God sent his Son to try to fix it; from Sabbatean Frankists the conviction that they must transgress religious and social norms to expunge evil and find true holiness; from the Malthusians who found another way of asserting that Creation was flawed — and have for the past 200 years predicted mass starvation if not the imminent collapse of civilisation.

See Keep Your Zombies To Yourself - Cultural programming hijacks a dreamstate but loses the video game (MC Apr 17, 2023)

This may be the end of days and there is plenty of reason, looking around, to see the beginning of sorrows.

Yet there are many who anticipate, and seek to accelerate, the end times without an ounce of religious belief.

Self-identified "rebels" rouse the youth to protest, and receive prime time billing on state-corporate television, accusing those same state-corporate interests of ignoring the climate crisis.

And they say religion is manipulative!

Crisis of capitalism

Some openly seek to remake the world in their own image. They finance a Greek chorus of media and street artistes to wail that they are acting too slowly.

The truth is that politicians talk about climate all the time. If they don't do anything, that is by design. Actions always speak louder than words.

What campaigners rarely acknowledge is the glaring absence of any plan to gradually shift from the intensive use of hydrocarbons.

We would have to live differently: build homes with new layouts and materials (or old - see the Persian Wind Tower) that cool or retain heat; change traditional living patterns and share utilities; grow our own food, to save on supermarket deliveries; capture and filter water locally; teach children at home, or at least locally, so that we no longer need costly high schools.

The young might embrace such a new start if it was presented to them.

Did you hear anything like that from politicians or corporations?

Instead, the state corporate media and the banks have the youth running around in Che Guevara shirts demanding, "We want a mortgage, and we want it now!"

MindWars

This discombobulation of Millennials and younger — hurry up and wait; hope and change; protest yet demand to be a debt slave just like your parents — is to keep them on the credit treadmill and exclude social change that would threaten the wealth, control and power of the owner investors.

Instead, the governments offer cascading crises, permanent emergency and the Great Shutdown — of farms, oil pipelines, gas stoves and heaters, internal combustion engines and, soon we are told, air travel.

See Rule By Mind War And Disinformation (Nov 22, 2022)

Politicians are not trying find an alternative way of life. They intend to shut it down, while milking the current financial system as long as they can. They do not see emergency as a call to action. They see it as a means to an end.

If this is a crisis of capitalism, the decline of imperialism, it is a reset from which finance capital plans to benefit.

State of Exception

You see that I have not questioned the Climate Change narrative nor objected that many of the "wildfires" have been set by arsonists, and I haven't challenged the argument that Climate Change is "essentially a product of a global capitalist mode of production."

I do not need to question those premises in order to refocus the argument on the failure to respond. Like Covid, in order to understand Climate Change you need not debate whether, like a virus, it is real. You only need to look at the response to see that it does not do what it says on the tin.

It is a red flag when any journalist gets stuck on the issue of "denier" and fails to progress to solutions. The Guardian for years has suggested "climate denial" should be akin to "Holocaust denial" and that deniers be cancelled, sent to Coventry, their tongues cut out.

Catastrophe is the means to an end. The so-called response is a lie.

This is hardly the Left's much-championed decline of capitalism. The finance capitalists say they want to clear the lot of us off the land, repeating the Highland Clearances and Enclosure Acts to get at the resources and rewild the best parts into safari parks for the elite. It was an earlier land grab in England, the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, which drove the capital creation that enabled mercantilism and imperialism.

The Club of Rome, named after the Rockefeller retreat on Lake Como, admitted as much in The First Global Revolution, (Club of Rome, 1993):

"In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill… All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself."

Per ardua ad astra

Celestial forces have always played a role in human thinking and the way we are ruled. With the decline in religion something took its place: and the Moon landings are a central pillar of the official worldview.

People interact less with physics, nature, making stuff, factory work, practical skills — or the modern lack of them. They read less. Television and the Internet have taken their place.

It began with the Moon landings. Here the celestial stars were merged with the Colgate smiles of stars on Earth.

This inverted our relationship with the heavens. The space missions yielded technologies that were out of this world: Teflon and HAZMAT suits and TV dinners and everlasting batteries.

More dangerous, perhaps, we swallowed unquestioningly the elixir of science as religion: that scientists have our best interests at heart; that things can only get better; that we need only trust and forget.

Too late we are discovering that technology has no logic, let alone morality. It goes. It does. That's it.

We have to set it in service of something: to favour peace over war, to feed the many not the few, to deny technology primacy and set beauty as society's highest goal and, ultimately, to decide what is good or evil.

Neil Armstrong said at the White House in 1994 on the 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing: "There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth's protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief." [2]

Truth's protective layers have served us well during Event Covid. We are asked to believe in the efficacy of the mask, Perspex shields, six feet of distance, the rule of six people and lots of other hexes.

We are assured that science works by consensus, that the virus often has no symptoms and that we should therefore lock up healthy people.

Life-threatening side effects are signs the vaccine's working. Being fully-vaccinated is a progressive state that may always require more boosters and does not stop transmission or symptoms. Catching Covid gives you better protection than the vaccine — but it's the unvaccinated who are always the threat. [3]

Is there is a connection — apart from the fact the last Moon landing happened in 1972 and that by gematria the value of Covid-19 is 72?

We are facing a one world government that says imagine you'll own nothing and there's "no religion, too" — "losing my religion," along with freedom of speech.

Without the Moon landings we could not have had Event Covid. Everything would have been clear as day: implausible coincidences and unjust demands. No-one would have believed it, "someone would have talked" — no! Everyone would have talked. Real skeptics would have brandished Occam's Razor not the fake skeptics that always, but always, support the official narrative.

Instead we live in twilight. Every government and every news outlet urges us on with identical slogans. The repetition and consistency makes it true. Even the same synchronized errors prompt not skepticism but ever-greater trust. Don't think for yourself, you can do better — build back better.

And we are urged to look up to the sky, in an eclipse, at the absence of light.

There is another twist to our story that recalls the age between the two Elizabeths, I (died 1603) and II (died 2022).

John Dee, Elizabeth I's astronomer, is an influential figure in the esoteric world. He was a proponent of "monas" or the oneness of the world which begat its complexity.

Dee said that Mars, in the ascendant, marked the rise of a great empire and the fall of another. We're currently transitioning from the Age of Pisces to Age of Aquarius. Though astrologers don't agree about exact dates, some suggested Age of Aquarius began in Dec 21 2020 when Saturn entered Aquarius and an alignment of Jupiter and Saturn took place.

Far from the age of "brotherhood of man" it is also a technological age in which machinery rivals humans; technology that will have negatives as well as positives.

The astrologer Robert Wilkinson says the transition began about 230 years ago from the Age of Pisces, gradually replacing the divine right of monarchs with horizontal social networks.

It continues to influence many people, including in the corporate world and among rulers. [4]

The journalist Pepe Escobar points out that the Mongols, creators of the biggest empire in history, often consulted the planets before big decision, such as the invasion of Baghdad-Babylon in 1258 and similarly the Ottomans, before their conquest of Constantinople in 1453.

Astrologist Vanessa Guazzelli, in conversation with Escobar, noted the upcoming Saturn-Neptune conjunction in 2026 at 0º of Aries is associated with socialism and communism. Whether we tilt to those -isms or a techno-feudalism hangs in the balance.

"I'd say at this moment we are past the mid-point. It could, initially, go towards multiple systems in two branches: on the one hand, the freshness of the Eastern winds inspiring socialism and multipolarity through the Belt and Road Initiative and the integration of Eurasia and its partners; on the other hand, the whirlwind of the collapsing empire and its Western allies as a terminator cyborg operated by the perverse 0.0001% who are so lifeless they cannot conceive other people's right to exist.

"When I first heard about it in June 2020, it astonished me how they set the "Great Reset" for January 2021, so close to the Great Mutation at the end of December 2020. I doubt this is a mere coincidence or "synchronicity." J P Morgan is known to have affirmed that millionaires don't need astrologers, but billionaires do." [5]

Guazzelli quotes Michel Foucault in Les Mots et les Choses (1966) that by "taking a relatively short chronological sample within a restricted geographical area, such as European culture since the sixteenth century, one can be certain that man is a recent invention within it."

Foucault is referring to man as the construct of the past few hundred years and Guazzelli suggests that his passing represents the necessary end of Eurocentrism. This is another jumping off point where the open minded will take seriously the injunction of UN envoy on migration Peter Sutherland that Europeans must be diluted until they cease to exist. That is another discourse. [6]

Which takes us back to trade. The two Elizabethan eras bookend the rise and fall of European empire.

The first saw the expansion of shipping that competed with and eventually overtook the Silk Road. The end of this age, and the dawning of a new one, could finally see its return in the shape of China's Belt and Road Initiative.

There is much to consider that is beyond the scope of these articles — no need to repeat what others write — just be aware that the mere anticipation of the eclipse on Apr 8 will be used to reinforce the dominant narratives.

"Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains… an un-uprooted small corner of evil."
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The latest revelations about Israel's use of artificial intelligence to identify targets in Gaza have sparked outrage. However bloody the results, they're not the only concern.

AI needs human oversight. Not because strict machines may turn on us, like HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey but because they cause humans to shirk our own moral responsibility.

From Britain's Metropolitan Police to the U.S. Pentagon, chiefs have insisted that humans will always make the final decision. However they know, from experience, how humans behave if they can blame their action on "orders." [1]

This makes AI warfare not only a matter of individual overreach but also deliberate institutional objectives.

Israel is currently the biggest project for the use of AI in warfare and the lessons are not good.

The television celebrities and armchair pundits say, as did Jordan Peterson of the Palestinians, "let them have it." They are blinkered beyond belief.

Technology lacks logic: it cannot know good and thus has no morality. We should be watching very closely the attitudes to life that inform military decisions which could one day come home to haunt us.

Israel's experience in suppressing Palestinians has been used to train Western police forces. [2]

How confident are you that the latest technology being tested in Gaza, including drones fed by AI, will not find its way back home to you?

The implementation and degree of human error are less important than the institutional objectives and the tolerance for loss of life in pursuing those goals.

This is a project of international policy-makers. Britain and the U.S. are thought to be supplying precision technology and guidance for Israeli drones and missiles.

Banality of evil

Statistical systems can give a false sense of security, even, or especially, when the computer model does not reflect reality.

The Covid forecasts of infection fatality rate illustrated how computer models can be wrong or tweaked to deliver results that justify policy. Likewise the system that in Gaza identifies Hamas militants for extermination.

When it produces fewer targets, the human operator is incentivised to lower the threshold in order to maintain the same number of kills.

Is this a case of the banality of evil, turning death into a statistic, or is there a more troubling discovery: that people behave even worse when relieved of the burden of responsibility?

Humans are eager to unburden themselves when "computer says." It's not just that they fail to make good use of the time freed up by labour-saving devices: their judgement actually degrades.

The biggest fault is not even at the individual level.

Neil Ferguson of Imperial College has made wild and incorrect forecasts for decades, from mad cow disease to the Covid fatality rate. He is still employed because his computer models are not meant to interpret the world but to change it.

Rose spectacles

Four months ago the journalist Yuval Abraham of the Israeli journal +972, described how military sources told him they aimed for maximum damage, not accuracy, using AI systems, one of which they named "The Gospel."

Now he has revealed another system, called Lavender. [3]

The name is appropriate, for Lavender provides Israel's military with rose-tinted spectacles through which to justify their actions in Gaza.

"A fundamental difference between the two systems is in the definition of the target: whereas The Gospel marks buildings and structures that the army claims militants operate from, Lavender marks people — and puts them on a kill list."

The number of civilians a soldier is permitted to kill depends on the seniority of the Hamas operative. When targeting a junior official, up to 20 civilians can be killed; with the rank of battalion or brigade commander, however, more than 100 civilians can be killed.

With tens of thousands of low-level operatives, which Israel historically did not bother to track, the military abandoned human assessment and relied on AI instead.

Rating everyone

Lavender rates every person in Gaza on a scale of 1 to 100, according to how likely they are to be a militant. It is fed their travel patterns, WhatsApp group, how regularly they change cell phone or move addresses.

Once it has a list of list of Hamas operatives it rates other people according to features they share with the militants.

"They wanted to allow us to attack [the junior operatives] automatically. That's the Holy Grail. Once you go automatic, target generation goes crazy," a senior officer told +972.

Priority was given to creating targets and destroying them, rather than allowing for human intervention or precision.

"Everything was statistical, everything was neat — it was very dry," one officer is quoted as saying.

The error rate was one-in-10 targets: police, civil defence workers or relatives of militants who might share a nickname, buy a phone previously used by a militant, or share their travel patterns.

Lavender had reached 90 per cent accuracy in identifying affiliation with Hamas. These would be bombed when they returned home to their families, so most of the victims would be women and children.

Once the error rate is approved, it becomes statistical. "The machine did it coldly. And that made it easier."

Slave to machine

Efficiency is what drives automation: the need for more targets, but also the desire not to "waste" bombs on, say, civil defence workers who help the Hamas government but do not endanger Israeli soldiers (in the words of the officer).

The problem with abrogating responsibility to a statistical system is that humans become slave to the machine. When Lavender produces fewer targets, the human is incentivised to lower the threshold in order to maintain the same number of kills. One soldier told +972 that he'd added 1,200 targets to the system of his own accord, to reinvigorate a decreasing number of kills.

Eventually, Lavender targeted minors for bombing in north Gaza.

Something similar happened during the Bolshevik purges, when the Gulag prison labour became dependent on arrests. The number of random arrests of innocents was increased to feed the system, as documented by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn among others.

Lethally efficient

Another statistical quirk is while guided missiles were saved for senior officials,
dumb bombs (unguided) were used for junior Hamas operatives, meaning that entire buildings would be destroyed, with many more casualties, in the quest to kill a relatively unimportant target.

7. Crisis Update: Central Banks Ready Currency Handcuffs

The monetary system is about to overwhelm the political structure
With potential to turn assets into tokens and dictate purchases
Centralised control over inputs and outputs is the end of liberty
A small elite, not government, would dictate winners and losers
If data is the new gold; banks will mine people for profit
SWIFT system linking CBDCs is to go live in 12 to 24 months
Worst case scenario: humanity descends into stasis; classes into castes
Managed outcomes replace meritocracy, initiative and innovation
Scientific dictatorship sounds intelligent only if you are inside the cult

"A key difference with the CBDC is that central banks will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use… and also, we will have the technology to enforce that."
— Agustín Carstens, general manager of the Bank for International Settlements, in 2020.

(2,300 words or about 11 minutes of your company).

Apr 1, 2024

Expect more distraction as the central bank digital currencies are rolled out, because CBDC, not the wars or the next pandemic, is the once-and-for-all revolution.

This digital coin is intended to usher in a new realm, one of universal enslavement.

It will be a step change from the centuries-old class system, in which the populace was kept in line with crumbs from the rulers' table.

Some got a few more, others a lot less. The number of crumbs dictated your status in life, and kept you subservient to the system.

There was no material gain from dissent. What psychologists called oppositional behaviour was easily offset with political systems in which people were "nudged" by envy or fear.

The social structure was constructed on crumbs: exchanging your crumbs for new ones each year; "keeping up with the Joneses"; earning the dough to send children to a fine school to learn the inside track of crumb collecting, to network with the scions of the top crumb gatherers.

There is a film about Wall Street in which a mother explains to her child during lunch what daddy does. She explains that each time the bread is passed, a few crumbs fall off. Daddy gathers up those crumbs and trades them on the market, hoping to get a few more. [Anyone remember that film? Perhaps it was, indeed, Wall Street (1987)]

The coin of the realm enabled other activities that serviced the circulation of specie.

While the mint or treasury guarded the state's right to create money, and counterfeiting was punishable by death, government intelligence networks often created counterfeit coin to finance their off-the-books or "black" operations.

The playwright-spy Christopher Marlowe, a contemporary of Shakespeare, was involved in one such operation in the late 1500s.

There was a cottage industry of coin clippers who shaved the edges off coin to amass gold and silver. This is why today coins have a ribbed edge.

It is about 500 years since bankers helped to create the modern state, from warfare to welfare.

Bankers were allowed to create money, in a deal that let monarchs finance wars without having to levy the cost from the barons (risking overthrow, as happened to Charles I, king of England, Scotland and Ireland, who got his head chopped off.)

Many a tale could be told but we'll leave the realm of coin because it is about to go digital. In this new kingdom the money power steps out from behind the green curtain.

Digital realm

What could be further from your daily life than a new monetary system — especially when it is sold as a convenience that allows you to leave behind that heavy purse or pocket of clanking change.

Yet it hides a shift in power so elemental that it will quite literally shake the ground beneath your feet.

It will create not new money but a new social system, one that leaves little room for merit, accumulating wealth or climbing the ladder. With people unable to rise in the world, the social structure would consist not of classes but castes.

It is no exaggeration to say the monetary system is about to replace the political structure.

There are plans, not yet fully advanced, to make this digital money more like a voucher or ration book. If it stops people accumulating capital, the social consequences are simple: feudalism.

If that sounds alarmist it comes straight from the horse's mouth, yet most people don't listen. It is there in United Nations Agenda 21, the bankers' discussions of CBDCs, and in our own past four years' experience of Covid countermeasures.

Techno feudalism

The monarch, in the introduction above, is replaced by a syndicate of privately-owned central banks who control a digital ledger that tallies all assets and liabilities.

The centralised ledger is integral to the objectives of sustainable development:

track food and minerals at all stages of production
offset people's "human footprint" with their carbon allowance
limit goods and services but also travel and activity
tax it directly in a person's account
control inflation by adding or subracting digital crumbs

This changes the balance of power in every transaction. Professor Richard Werner has pointed out the flaw in the assumption that everyone has access to the same information, making markets efficient. CBDC magnifies the imbalance of knowledge a thousand fold.

Personal data is already the "new gold" and CBDC will give banks more of it: a record of every transaction you make but, crucially, with the ability to control, forbid or ration those transactions.

With digital innovation, the saying goes, if something is free, you are the product. Except we are not talking about free email. When a digital service has the scope to control your whole life, you're the slave.

This changes everything, as the cliché goes: to control where you travel or live; thus choose your job; live in the same town as your fiancé; your ability to accumulate and own property — the most fundamental property right being the integrity of your own body. Ask anyone who lived in the Soviet Union.

CBDC has the potential to freeze society into the rule of a powerful few, with the remaining population locked in what Aldous Huxley called a scientific dictatorship, or what technocrats today call cybernetic control.

It presages changes more devastating than the Enclosure Acts, the Highland Clearances and the Transportation of Europeans that was used to populate Australia and the Americas.

Nor is it the worst case; simply the most likely.

Here's a handy explainer about your life in feudal England.

This beautifully filmed video from Absolute History shows serfs, however oppressed, at least enjoying the fruits of their labour once they had paid the dues extorted by their baron.

Digital servitude would be worse. Under Agenda 21 you would not choose your food, and meat would be out — "eat ze bugs." Who knows when you'd be locked indoors under quarantine and beaten for leaving. Under the World Health Organisation Pandemic Treaty you might be jabbed in a universal approach called One Health; and under Scotland's "Hate Speech" laws even conversations in your kitchen are not exempt from prosecution if reported. And you won't be gathered around the hearth or warming yourself by the gas stove — because those are being phased out.

Despot's ratchet

Even the popular podcaster Joe Rogan is alerting his listeners to the legacy of the Covid response: the threat of a digital currency, saddled with a social credit score system, likely tied to a vaccine app restricting travel — "and all they need is another pandemic to try to push that shit through."

How do we know they're connected: because vax passports, aka green passports on phones, that scanned a QR code before letting you enter a shop, were central to the Covid response. If you wanted to travel you had to be jabbed or quarantined.

These were not fully implemented but nor were they suspended. The would-be rulers have never backed off. Covid was a compliance test; an exercise in how far they could push us.

These policies and legislation are still in place.

CBDC is such a big change that most people have not wrapped their heads around it. Yet executives of the financial transaction system, SWIFT, say they'll be ready to launch CBDC in 12-24 months.

It is being tested in dozens of countries, to see how fast the banks can proceed. Convenience is the selling point for now. Planners have talked openly, however, about how it can control every activity of your life.

The head of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, says "it will be a journey and we will walk the journey together with the legislator." Yet legislators have little input for it is being devised by those who control the monetary system.

"Cash is here to stay. You will have all options; cash and digital cash." As we shall see below, CBDC is not cash. If you look at the pilot schemes for CBDC, there will be little role for cash, if any.

8. Crisis Update: Of Fear And War, By Proxy And Imagined

"The news" revolves around Cold War spectres, nukes and domino theories
Globalists conjure spectres that howl incoherently from the past
Factitious: artificially created or developed
Govs place citizens in "strategic ambiguity" – policies give rise to unrest
Surveillance monitors how people react – while laws stifle complaint
Hate speech laws are readied to silence dissent
An apocalyptic game, that purposely inverts tradition and superstition
Behavioural modification gaslights people in pursuit of managed outcomes
Officials are no better than the criminal protagonist of the 1944 film of that name

"What all this tells us is that, concerning the apocalyptic game now being played against us all, we actually don't know what's going on, however knowing we may be."

They told us war would be hybrid, and waged by means of deception. It is the hour to listen to warnings and not to write off the actuality that we are under attack; to admit we failed to consider that the adversary may be different this time; conflict does not resemble wars of the past; the target is humanity.

The domestic civilian population has become the principal target, to be attacked psychologically, undermining cohesion — neutering the public spirit that rallied citizens to the defence of mutual interest.

Our perception is fractured; reality disjointed. The news becomes less coherent. The would-be masters of One World are driven and desperate.

The story spinners are reaching back into the Cold War. Most people who attended school in the past four decades escaped the nuclear drill of attack preparedness. But the masters recall its prolonged, unsettling effect, like the groaning of the ground before a quake.

That explains the timing of Oppenheimer, a blast of a film out of left field and surprising winner of the Oscars.

See Oppenheimer Film Pulls Focus On Nuclear Annihilation - Mutually Assured Destruction makes a belated come back (MC Jul 21, 2023)

News media gives the effect of hallucination. You glance at the screen half-expecting politicians of another era, perhaps Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. It's possible. Joe Biden said he'd recently spoken to former French president Francois Mitterrand (d. 1996).

Television invites us to view the world through Biden's eyes, as his memories flicker and fuse into a montage of Cold War and Jim Crow in which suppressed anger flares and snarls - as he grips a cornet of his favourite ice cream.

Thierry Meyssan of VoltaireNet, has written that modern propaganda aims not to paint narratives but to disorient: to prevent logical thought; to appeal only on the level of conflicting and disruptive emotions. Dislocated Biden serves this purpose.

At the same time, they need novel threats. Like their novel coronavirus these are based more on fear than reality.

Covid, they might as well admit, was no more deadly than the flu. Of course, some people died. The surveillance state is not threatening if you have nothing to hide. Of course, some people do - but not you.

There is a reason one of the British government's first actions under Covid, in May 2020, was to establish the Joint Biosecurity Centre, in charge of enforcing lockdowns, movement restrictions and quarantine rules. It shared intelligence staff with Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). MPs criticised it for secrecy, and for failing to publish its analysis, arguments or data.

Evil eye

In Gaza, the drones buzz and whine; cameras swoop, unsuspected. With nowhere to shelter, Palestinians point phones at the sky, webcam to webcam, the pornography of death.

Live-streamed war is a message to billions who observe from a distance: stay in line; support the right side; be careful what you Tweet; watch that meme!

Israel carves Gaza into zones, telling residents to move from one grid to the next, then bombs them anyway.

At the Oscars, a director made the "mistake" of stepping out of his grid, speaking of the "occupation" and "dehumanisation" of Palestinians. Jonathan Glazer was immediately denounced and "letter bombed" by a thousand celebrities. [1]

Enemy citizen

For those whose lives are less glittering, there are shadow bans, censorship laws and Twitter's "freedom of speech but not reach" — aka, no-one can hear you scream.

The War on Terror was based for decades on lies. Its purpose was, in a gradual way but with harmful effect, to paint every citizen as the enemy, or at least suspect.

The first stage was "see something, say something" to justify the state using x-ray to pat down the public. The second stage escalated into Stasi-style surveillance, to sow doubt and divide those who share the same culture and land. The third, is inversion: flooding the state with undocumented migrants who are exempt from the rules just imposed. The inverted leprechaun.

Trained to doubt others, the citizen doubts himself, and makes extra effort to show loyalty to the authorities, even if they act against his own interests.

Fear and punishment

The masters are playing with us. They instil fear and then punish us if we complain; they create an environment of insecurity and uncertainty, then monitor how we react.

"Strategic ambiguity" — officials misrepresenting their intent — is a technique that great powers use against foreign adversaries but this time imposed at home. It is anything but representative government.

Some cities defund the police, or divert officers into policing Facebook. Toronto Police Service advises residents to leave car keys for thieves at their doorway "to prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home."

The U.S. southern border is open, street violence is rising despite official denials — New Yorkers report that they don't feel safe walking outside — but citizens should be careful what they say about crime or migration. And as president Biden discovered, don't use the word "illegal."

Factitious disorder

Canada's Online Harms Act C-63 defines hatred as "detestation and vilification that is stronger than disdain and dislike." This affects freedom to complain about government policies — open or covert — and classes "protected" by speech laws.

Consider not only street crime but also daylight robbery by bankers; Defund the Police which is a policy associated with Black Lives Matter and funded by corporations; the same corporations closing closing stores because of theft; the sexual propagandising of children, with branches of the United Nations broaching the open promotion of paedophilia. [2]

As with the "safe and effective" France is to punish criticism of public health measures if your words dissuade another person from taking a therapy. It is a small step to criminalising questioning a pandemic.

Conversely, even if you avoid criticising the "other" you may commit an offence in defence of yourself: the definition of family, as the Irish just upheld in a referendum; access rights of fathers; the privacy and modesty of sports women; the rights of lesbians to their own social company; or manual workers defending their jobs against those without legal residence as the employees of Tyson Foods are doing.

In each case the surveillance state may define your "exclusivity" as exclusionary, oppositional or hateful. Politicians are already claiming they feel unsafe. [3]

Tweaking the light

The term gaslighting comes from a 1938 play and 1944 film, Gaslight, in which a husband manipulates his wife into thinking she is mentally ill.

He searches for her jewels around the house and, when she finds them missing, says she's imagining things. The lights flicker and floors creak as he moves around but he says that's her delusion and simply confirms she's gone mad.

Psychologists have used it to describe when one person causes another to question their memory, their present perception and their sanity.

Gaslighting is jargon for the government's use of behavioural modification in pursuit of managed outcomes.

9. Eurasia note #88: Moscow Theatre Attack; War Enters New Phase

At least 60 killed at Crocus City expo centre in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region.
Why now, with the world's eyes on Israel's actions in Gaza?
Russia is sceptical of claims that ISIS is responsible
War by way of deception provokes Russia without seeing the hand
Does Israel broaden war, NATO provoke Russia, Ukraine take revenge?
Obama delivered a personal message to Downing Street this week
Warmongers in Warsaw, Paris and Berlin would love Moscow to suspect Kyiv
Attack stokes memories of the bloody era just after Putin came to power
Nord-Ost theatre, 2002; Beslan school siege, 2004, blamed on Chechen terrorists
NATO knew Ukraine could not win — and always planned a war of terror
This can get bloody: NATO's Operation Gladio was waged against own citizens
Washington claims it warned Moscow "weeks before" attacks

(2,400 words or 11 minutes)

Mar 23, 2024

The bombing in Russia is designed to reopen a wound... to evoke painful memories of the Nord-Ost theatre shootings in 2002 and the Beslan school siege two years later.

Those were linked to terrorists from the North Caucasus — so whoever attacked the Crocus City concert is seeking to frame it as "Islamic extremists."

This is war by way of deception. It provokes Russia without revealing the hand. It is a sucker punch, the blow that comes out of nowhere: a slam to the head from behind that is cowardly and designed to disorient the victim.

Let the misdirection begin

Is it revenge for Russia's defence of the Syrian state? Is it linked to the Israeli politician who threatened that Russia would pay for not condemning Hamas? Warmongers in Warsaw, Paris and Berlin would be happy if Moscow suspects the hand of Kyiv.

On Mar 15 the leaders of Germany, France and Poland met in Berlin to resolve differences over their next step in Ukraine. Pepe Escobar claims the three countries have sent troops by rail and air to Cherkassy, south of Kyiv.

This week Obama visited Downing Street, prompting us to ask, what would be so sensitive that a former president should deliver a message in person on Mar 18.

The very framing of ISIS as the perpetrator (invented or not) is a reminder that the threat is borderless — it is a warning that won't be lost on Americans.

It aligns with threats that foreign intel and/or Ukraine will strike deep into Russia. As if to confirm the above, The New York Times (NYT) is saying that U.S. intel knew in advance about the planned attack.

"The United States collected intelligence in March that Islamic State-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, the branch of the group based in Afghanistan, had been planning an attack on Moscow, according to officials. ISIS members have been active in Russia, one U.S. official said."

Russian media is sceptical of claims about ISIS, especially since Moscow had earlier on Friday asked Washington to explain why the US embassy in Moscow issued an alert earlier this month for all US nationals to avoid public venues.

Israeli threat

Do you remember the Israeli politician who said Russia will pay?

Two weeks ago a Hamas delegation visited Moscow, as part of talks with Palestinian factions.

In October, Amir Weitmann, the head of the libertarian caucus in Israel's ruling Likud Party, accused Russia of supporting Hamas.

Weitmann's interview on RT on Oct. 19, began with the host discussing the "attack on Al-Ahli Hospital" in the Gaza Strip. Weitmann interjected, emphatically emphasizing that it was not an Israeli attack but rather "Palestinian terrorist propaganda."

"I understand you're on the Russian payroll, and I understand this is Russian propaganda. But you have to be very careful, because, let me tell you, we're going to finish this war. We're going to win because we're stronger."

"After this, Russia will pay the price. Believe me, Russia will pay," he said.

Finger puppets

It's not the time for jokes as families mourn loved ones. But it's hard to speak of ISIS without sniggering.

Only the darkest cynic would claim that ISIS is genuine and yet it worries about Russia than Israel... choosing the moment when Palestinians are being shot and starved to have a pop at Moscow.

ISIS al-Qaeda are not allies of the Palestinians, however, as Eva Bartlett pointed out yesterday. They care nothing for Palestine; they serve the purpose of Israel and NATO.

ISIS is a finger puppet of NATO/Israel as you can read in the Israeli press, here and here. [1]

For years the U.S. said it was hunting down ISIS in Syria: "We seek them high, we seek them low." President Vladimir Putin said, "Let's give you a helping hand," and sent jets to bomb ISIS oil convoys. Uncle Sam didn't like that, and never forgave Putin.

Russian media discounts ISIS claims of responsibility but even if true, it raises more questions: Why now, with the world's eyes on Israel's actions in Gaza?

What does that tell us about the "ISIS attack" on Moscow? The Western narrative is going to be that Putin is paying for his intervention in Syria in support of Assad.

As in 2002/2004, when the north Caucasus, including Chechnya, was being stoked by Western intel, the Krasnogorsk attack serves Western interests. Above all this takes war from Ukraine firmly into Russia.

Theatre massacre

Gunmen attacked a concert venue in Moscow's Crocus City expo centre in Krasnogorsk, on the Moscow ring road.

A pop concert by a group named Picnic was about to start. About five men killed security guards at the entrance to the hall, before shooting concertgoers at almost point-blank range.

Later there was an explosion in the building, starting a fire, collapsing part of the roof. The venue holds about 7,000 people.

The attack stokes memories of the bloody era just after Putin came to power
that consumed Moscow's energies for half a decade.

The attack most clearly resembles the 2002 Moscow theatre hostage crisis (also known as the Nord-Ost siege) when the Dubrovka Theatre was attacked by Chechen terrorists on Oct 23 2002, taking 850 hostages and ending with Russian security services pumping gas into the theatre and the death of 172 people.

Also the Beslan school siege of Sep 1 2004, which lasted three days, involved more than 1,100 people as hostages (including 777 children) and ended with the deaths of 334 people.

ISIS had not yet been announced — the West would do that in 2014 when it invaded Syria. But the al-Qaeda model had been rolled out from Afghanistan, across to the 'stans of the North Caucasus and across to the Levant.

Ukraine's Gladio

The Moscow attack also aligns with what we wrote exactly two years ago: Ukraine May Meet Its Gladio - Insurgents may drag Russia into a version of Italy's 'Years of Lead' (MC Mar 09, 2022)

NATO may have known from the beginning that Ukraine would not win against Russia because it was already planning a long-running war of terror.

People or land

Lebensraum is the German imperative given to the challenge of a country whose industrial potential outstrips its ability to feed its population.

As Yale historian Timothy Snyder has written, "The risk is that a developed country able to project military power could, like Hitler's Germany, fall into ecological panic, and take drastic steps to protect its existing standard of living." [1]

Hitler, he argues, had little faith that hybrids and fertilizers could generate enough food for Germans and that only by conquest of land could the Reich feed the people.

A century later the billionaires and oligarchs own the technology that could feed billions more, but they have decided that only by conquest of the people can they retain the land and food for themselves.

Ironically, the corporations that were units of I.G. Farben, the chemical cartel of the Third Reich, are the leading owners of agricultural technology, including Bayer, formerly Monsanto.

Regular readers know well the corporations and bankers that enabled and armed the Reich. For those who don't, read Edwin Black, beginning with "IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation" (2001) and Antony Sutton, "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler" (1976).

The D in Population

It is common to cite the Kissinger Report, "NSSM-200," which argued a rising global population was a threat to American interests.

The crux of Kissinger's argument was not the people per se, but the resources on which they sat. This is why NSSM-200 took aim at developing nations, not the West.

At the same time Kissinger was a close associate of the Rockefellers, whose Population Council (founded in 1952 by John D. Rockefeller III) had as its target the "population problem."

The oligarchs' predilection for Malthus has always had this contradiction: they are committed to population reduction; yet their objective is control of land and resources.

Thus it matters not that Malthus has been proven wrong time and again — that standards of living have risen with the world's population — "The real enemy... is humanity itself" (The First Global Revolution, Council of the Club of Rome, 1991)

To confirm that resources, not people and their wellbeing, are the oligarch's concern see events in Ukraine. At the time of the Maidan coup of 2014, China was leasing one-tenth of Ukraine's arable soil to grow grain for its own population. [2]

Ukraine is also central to China's Belt and Road Initiative. To what extent is blocking China an objective of the proxy war in Ukraine?

Further, why is population regarded as a matter of national security, and why did the U.S. military develop and implement the Covid "medical countermeasures," aka the "safe and effective," as evidenced by Katherine Watt and Sasha Latypova, and Dr David Martin?

What is the reason for the persistence of Malthus' ideas in such brutal form?

We have an answer: resources, minerals and food.

Smallholder husbandry

Every countermeasure needs a pretext, and we have the overarching justification of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Where did sustainability come from or, rather, why this nefarious interpretation of what would, in a more healthy society, be defined by the term, husbandry?

In modern parlance they have different meanings: sustainability has become, in policy terms, The Great Shutdown (aka The Great Reset) in which society can only be improved by the slogan, "burn it down."

Husbandry, as the smallholder's "care, cultivation and breeding" or "management and conservation of resources" is supplanted by the corporation's sustainability for one main reason: sustainability is still wedded to growth. The objective is sustaining the corporation.

Corporate interests

Sustainable development was not always so. Previous concepts included "Small is beautiful" and ecodevelopment. These were "reactions to the idea of development as a unidirectional, homogenizing, market- and growth-led process originating in the global North."

"The Limits To Growth" (1972) hijacked the debate, skewing it in a neoliberal direction: commercial tools (the trade in carbon credits) over public regulation; the private sector and economic growth (innovation) as the answer to environmental problems; and a technocracy taking the lead role, pushing politicians aside.

"Sustainable development," entered common currency with the Brundtland Commission (1983) which promised continued economic growth while rescuing the environment. This has become the dominant attitude — that generations can enjoy a world increasingly filled with digital gadgets and conveniences, while feeling righteous about having saved the Earth without any hit to their lifestyle.

This is no snarky jibe; the people are being conned and if they haven't woken up after four years of the "safe and effective" it may be they never will.

The Covid response should have thrown open the windows to the great outdoors, bringing a much-needed draught of fresh air into the stale offices of computer modellers, whose exaggerated predictions of case fatality rates should have ended their careers (it was a fraction of 1 per cent, roughly the same as the flu.)

Covid was a masterclass in how not to run the world. Every error was copied and enforced globally: from quarantine, masking, lockdown, closing schools, forbidding university students admission without a jab, threatening soldiers and pilots with dismissal for not taking a contaminated injectable for what the Centers for Disease Control now admits was no worse than the flu.

Pluriverse

There is a school of thought that rejects universalism — a one-size-fits-all approach, the exclusive world view that dominates the supposedly diverse United Nations. See the World Health Organisation's One Health; or its leading funder Bill Gates' mission to vaccinate the entire global population with a "military countermeasure" — as if Gates is not following orders.
