Well, a hard fricken rain is gonna fall. The US is gonna fall, too. Interesting times, to the 10th power.

Maybe the US will reconstitute itself better. I really think the potential is present.

It is what I am working for.

(If we can just shake all these lampreys off us...)

Intra-Elite competition was discussed some years ago on TAE and looks like it has very much arrived.

I am perplexed by the situation of the West undertaking seppuku with the excuse of the Ukraine. If say the Eurasian dream is Communism 3.0 my money is the political hacks are failing by design. The Technocracy of Oligopoly Capitalism decided to exterminate as many people as possible with the lethal injections it mandated. Customers of theirs to boot. Seems that all the big fish hug vaccines. Russia and China, USA and Collective West. Is the fight like Big Time Wrestling or simply like an Election? To overcome objections to Tyranny maybe a few billion dead does what talking planned for 2030.

I think there are a lot of competing schemes going on right now.

I like Tom Luongo's take that retail banking is in a dogfight with Davos/WEF and on their tail with machine-guns blazing (my analogy).

It's still bosses/owners fighting for control of the herd and it's production.

I don't think the real path lies in the debt-servitude neoliberal-financial-capital system.

I think we've got a long way to fall before we start making sense in our economic relations.

Maybe I'm wrong, again..

I think the real path is Transhuman STAT. Space Exploration and Development and the Transhuman are hand in glove. The incredible "wealth" of resources must fuel dreams of avarice for the WEF attendees. https://nypost.com/2020/10/28/nasa-finds-rare-metal-asteroid-worth-10000-quadrillion/

The guys at the top are Singularity enthusiasts who wish immortality by any means necessary and I think this all too human emotion when coupled to extreme pathology and great power brought about the decision to exterminate as many living. souls as possible as quickly as possible. Tools like injections, plague, war, famine, and pernicious politics as usual. All the contending schemes though are football teams in the Olympics owned in part by nations and in part by the tremendous wealth that uses nations like cheap hookers.

If we can consider history as mainly fable, a just so story, world events hold a meaning largely different in many respects from our sentimental history. WW1 has long interested me. We as. nations of planet Earth have not escaped Valery's verdict but postponed judgement on 600 years of Western history for the wise men of Davos. For me the nominal figure of 4 billion living injected with who knows what and now a life span of say 10 more years of illness before death is the verdict of a Hanging Judge. What replaces our dying system we do not know, but based on what is seen and heard the humans living will be in Brave New World not 1984. Although 1984 will be used to bring Brave New World into fruition.

This is an interesting mindset for humans to have, which is the urge to immortality, while in denial of the existence of "spirit", non-corporeal consciousness. I think it's a blind-alley, myself. The direct-experience of Truth must be done oneself. It is not transferrable as a written proof.

Love and compassion are paths to the trans-personal knowing. Your Mom may have taught you something. (George W. Bush's mom may not have. Not completely sure.)

I suspect that if "we" gotenough energy now, to carry out the plans for transhuman-universal-expansion, that it would be fatal for our species. We are so close to self-immolation, already.

The herd-management paradigm is too limited to a selfish/unwise way of living to be workable with such vast scope of powers. Once our species has become more actually wise and insightful, learning to develop the high-efficiencies of complex living systems, not just "dissipative electromechanical systems", then we might be able to manage more power, indeed, we will have come to know it better.

It remains to be seen what the long term effects of the immune-suppressing "vaccines" will be. Will they wear off, or create more profound immune suppression? What will be the penetrance effect? The hot-batches aredifferent acutely, what about long-term. It just remains to be seen.

AIDS took something like a decade to become clear after initial viral infection in most people. Some long-term-survivors of AIDS had a gene that appears to have been selected for by the Black-Death.

Life is full of surprises...

I'm taking a "parallel track". I'll keep writing about it while I am able.

Like an single-celled organism in a petridish, we find ourselves in a cultural experiment of applied Zionist/genocide, Neocon/eugenics, and Neolib/transhumanism. How are we to husband our humanity, genome, and souls?

Why are we here? I reckon Earth as a garden for our souls, not a transhumanist petridish. If we reincarnate here multiple times, should we cultivate and husband for inifinite seasons and not just one harvest?

My Dad used to say, "If you take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves".

Don't get stuck staring into the distance. Do what comes to you and look at the next step.

Do look far away, but do everything else, too.

Good advice. Survive this bottleneck and provide for your loved ones. This transhumanist cultural experiment is starving. The petridish has failed. Life will return to the garden but you might not see it in this incarnation.

Anyone else enjoy John David Ebert’s work on substack and youtube? Great conversations on Toynbee, Spengler, Steiner, Goethe, Campbell, and Jung for the large issues. The current geopolitics would be thesaker and Moon of Alabama. But for practical issues of living a normal life, I got nothing. Sorry.
