Read or Condemn Yourself to Death by Ignorance

For those courageous souls brave enough to look and see what is,

who are unwilling to blindly accept

the lies and rules of tyrannical authority.

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.

One word of truth outweighs a world of lies.

13 discoveries in the last year have fundamentally altered our understanding of human history
 
Cave Dwellers
 
 
 

As anthropologists discovered new fossils and artifacts in 2020, our understanding of human history has changed.

Thirteen discoveries in particular offered new and sometimes perplexing insights into where we came from and who our ancestors were.

This year, researchers found the earliest known example of mating between different human populations, as well as evidence that the first Americans arrived from Asia by boat.

Imperialism 2.0: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
 
US Military Facilities In Oz
 
 
 

The new imperialism doesn’t look like old-school ground invasions, it looks like multi-front cold wars, economic warfare, blockades and starvation sanctions, drone strikes, arming proxy militias, CIA-backed coups, sprawling tech surveillance networks, mass psyops of unprecedented sophistication and narrative management systems to facilitate them. Peace activists need to be looking in this direction, especially as the US gets a new Secretary of State who advocates this exact approach to imperialism.

Imperialism 2.0 is designed to operate so invisibly we don’t even notice it’s happening. No mass troop deployments, no flag-draped bodies flying home in planes, and (they hope) no potent antiwar movement in response to it.

In the new imperialism there are still troops deployed all over the world, but they’re there with the “permission” of the puppet regimes they installed and they exist primarily to protect the infrastructure of the invisible imperialism (so it can’t be countered with conventional warfare).

The more powerful and expansive the empire becomes, the more invisible imperialism can be. In theory it could eventually have so much control that any population which rises up against it can be silently choked off from the entire world economy and starve to death very quickly.

The US empire staged a coup in Australia to oust PM Gough Whitlam in 1975 for insisting on Australian national sovereignty, then staged another one to oust PM Kevin Rudd in 2010 for being seen as too friendly with China. US troops in Australia are therefore an illegitimate occupying force.

Our national sovereignty has been stolen to turn us into a US military/intelligence asset; nothing more than a convenient stretch of land in the Indo-Pacific to prepare for war with China. We’re a glorified airbase with kangaroos. That’s why we’ve been powerless to save Julian Assange from Washington’s clutches.

Sanctions are the only act of war where it’s considered perfectly acceptable to deliberately target a civilian population with deadly force. They don’t favor them because they’re less deadly than bullets (they’re not), they favor them because they’re easier to sell to the public.

We’ve all spent our lives since childhood watching Hollywood movies and TV shows about evil villains doing wicked deeds to try and rule the world yet hardly anyone ever notices that that’s exactly what the US empire is.

What society considers a “good journalist” should be one who holds power to account, asks critical questions and reveals important information without interest in approval or conformity. Instead anyone who tries to embody these values will be attacked, smeared with an array of dismissive pejoratives, and told they’re not a journalist at all.

The most powerful corporation in the world which openly collaborates with the most powerful government in the world is now censoring videos about election fraud in the nation with the worst election system of any western democracy.

Those who saw the mass media as the linchpin of the status quo were excited when the internet came along because of the information-democratizing effect it would have. Then they saw the same power structures which control the MSM begin working to control online information.

Abnormalize the use of “the economy” when you’re really talking about the stock market. If you’re talking about something that can be described as “booming” while millions are facing eviction, you’re not talking about the economy. Call it “the rich man’s casino” or something.

The rules of internet discourse say that if you don’t think nuclear-armed nations should be imperiling the world with propaganda-fueled cold war games it means you love the government of Russia and/or China and think everything they’ve ever done is awesome.

I don’t know what species of brain worm it is that makes people think if you oppose western imperialism it means you love the governments who are being targeted by western imperialism, but it would be good if it went extinct.

If you’re getting your information about the world from Tucker Carlson and his ilk there is a 100 percent chance that your views on China were crafted by a US government agency.

It’s unacceptable that we live in a world with weapons that can wipe out all terrestrial life and it’s an unforgivable outrage that our rulers have simply accepted it as a given that this must continue.

People only think China, Russia and Iran are behaving aggressively on the world stage because their blindness to western imperialist aggression makes them incapable of seeing that those nations are actually behaving defensively.

The only thing liberals and leftists have in common is that leftists support disadvantaged groups while liberals support pretending to care about disadvantaged groups for marketing purposes. It would good if everyone stopped pretending there’s any more common ground than that.

On a list of the things which pose an actual threat to you, “conspiracy theorists” would rank pretty close to the bottom. You’d never know this from reading the billionaire media though.

A deeply conscious and emotionally intelligent society in which humans collaborate with each other and with their ecosystem to the benefit of all beings. Please and thank you.

Your Value
 
Your Value
 
 
 

Reminds me of a meme along the same lines. “Your opinion of me is none of my business!” There is a large element of truth in these. Very often a person's opinion of you is more a reflection of them than it is you. Of course none of us are perfect, we all carry emotional blemishes and physical scars from our past. But the person who dwells on them is not looking at the rightness of a being. And because you get that on which you put your attention, it behooves us to learn our lesson from them then ignore our losses, remember our wins and want and expect the best from our fellow man.

 
 
 
 
No Sense At All
 
If... ...Works
 
 
 

A friend asked: “Can anyone answer this intelligently because I’m all ears.”

I replied...

Some people hold the view Craig that there is no actual pandemic, only a false one because the remedies (like HCQ and Ivermectin) that would prevent COVID deaths have been suppressed and the COVID deaths have been falsified and inflated and the media fear porn have blinded those who feel rather than look and think so do not observe the statistics that the total deaths in the US and OZ are actually down on last year. Influenza and pneumonia deaths are down, replaced with COVID deaths.

So why the lockdowns and other “pandemic” response measures that the statistics reveal are at best useless and more likely completely counter-productive and harmful?

The old adage, follow the money.

Who loses from the lockdowns? Small businesses and the people they employ.

Who wins? Big businesses.

Owners of Amazon and the other mega giants have seen their net worth grow by billions over the last 8 months whereas a great many small business will never reopen. This reduces mum and pop competition to the giants and we have seen and enormous transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy elite due to this manipulation.

For the last ten+ years Bill Gates (through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) have contributed tens and hundreds of millions of dollars to the WHO and many other health institutions. Do these organisation bite the hand that feeds them? 10 points if you thought, “No.”

Bill Gates and others sponsored a Pandemic 201 conference late 2019 to get everyone (the WHO, governments and health departments) on the same page with regards to societal response to a pandemic.

Since then, the IMF have funded those governments that toed the line and imposed the restrictions on their people. (The president of a former Soviet republic exposed this.)

Hope this explanation of the sting helps make sense of what would otherwise look pretty insane.

Re The PM
 
Candice Bergen Quote
 
 
 

I got half way through the text before I saw Canada and realised the good Member was not talking about the Australian Prime Minister!

I know Steve Cook in the UK would probably say the same about his PM. Are we sensing a trend here?

Could it be that the two party system is not in the best interests of we the people?

“On Living in an Atomic Age” (1948) by CS Lewis
 
CS Lewis
 
 
 

What might CS Lewis say of our new COVID situation? Here’s what incredibly sane advice he gave in 1948 about the mental shift required in living with the threat of the atomic bomb.

’In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. “How are we to live in an atomic age?” I am tempted to reply: “Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.”

’In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestors—anesthetics; but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.

’This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.’

(Clive Staples Lewis was a British writer and lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at both Oxford University and Cambridge University. He is best known for his works of fiction, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.)

After COVID and murder hornets you now have lizzards?

Well, you are welcome to come down here to Oz if you like.

Just watch out for the sting rays, great white sharks, blue-ringed octopus, box jelly-fish, funnel web and redback spiders, coastal Taipan and inland Taipan, red-bellied black, death adder, Tiger, Eastern brown, Mulga, small eyed and copperhead snakes.

Oh, and the boxing kangaroos and drop bears.

Dang! Nearly forgot to warn you about the swooping magpies too!

This video ties some of the big picture pieces together and provides the rationale behind all the illogics that assault your sensibilities.

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!

Tom
