Yes Elizabeth Nickson is a Zionist running interference for I’real.
In addition, every EN article I have scanned contains references to her (generational) wealth and her salubrious surroundings including episodes of schmoozing with the rich and famous. Mind numbing.
She also makes sure you understand that, unlike other highly successful families, hers were principled and motivated solely by good deeds.
I suspect that like all other highly successful families, hers were also Freemasons.
If she was ever ‘on the left’, she certainly kicked that into the long weeds.
When everyone hates you, as she says lefts, Muslims (aka Persians?), Greens and bog-common humanity does, maybe it's about you and not them ;-)
I wonder if she was 'on the left' or 'running the left.' Every venue she wrote for has been exposed as a propaganda rag. And her time spent in the backyard with Nelson Mandela just after his release from prison--I remember reading about him as controlled opposition to quell the rebellion.
Thanks for responding, Linda, and letting me know the 'good little rich girl' routine goes deep.
You know, every globally prominent figure in the last century especially - if he isn't a head of govt or H'wood /entertainment celebrity or accomplished some well-known great feat or act of kindness, is now suspect to me. I've been seeing a series of faces in an anonymous billboard campaign here in central CA that has featured folks like depopulation supporter and chimp lover, Jane Goodall- and Nelson Mandela. Supposedly to send messages of inspiration about "doing something great or right."
Seems that very little in MSM is organic. Ever since Ed Bernays initiated his social engineering program via mass media, advertising and H'wood (for our benefit, of course- we who are too dumb to know what's good for us ourselves!).
And who owns and controls H'wood, Madison Avenue, and the media?
"When everyone hates you, as she says lefts, Muslims (aka Persians?), Greens and bog-common humanity does, maybe it's about you and not them ;-)"
This is a great point, T.
Whenever I notice that I'm seeing everyone through a critical lens - usually it's clueless' I realize it must be me, and I'm projecting something I can't see on to them.
hola, tereza. an interesting read for sure. (my 'home' province for 47 years was BC.)
i have found en to be a ranter and that always brings a question mark to me. and, sometimes, a kind of peek into what might be going on in the collective shadow as expressed by any particular rant. and so i am an intermittent reader of her absurdistan.
as to the use of logs to supply bc with education and medical care: that *may* have been true to a significant extent from the 50s and perhaps into the 70s because the 'need' to pay big pharma hadn't yet reached fever pitch along with the successful promulgation of the poisonous ideology of profit maximisation. the late 70s and early 80s saw the successful infiltration of greed is good business ethics, which now i consider to be likely part of the plan that successfully replaced the non-corporatist government of canada with corporatists and corporatism at the same time. and the news also skewed towards pro-business greed as good ethics.
anyway, once the corporatist government was in place, the corporations applied for tax exemptions and got them because they argued that they are the great benevolent (welfare fed) capitalists who were the economic backbone of the country. and economic wellbeing became the the the sole heart and soul of our nation. and at the same time labour cost minimisation came into full force. that included the very active breaking of unions, reducing wages by maximisation un-benefited temporary and contract workers, reducing the sizes of workforces etc.
note: i have a lot of problems with unions, especially after attending some of their absolutely absurd and distressingly stupid meetings. it was while attending them that i realised that greed is more stupefying than sex because all that the owners of everything need to do is give labour just enough money to buy beer, enjoy some sports and not be killed during work, and unions will not formed. no sane person wants to struggle with that kind of organisation and being with stupid people when it is much more fun to watch sports, drink beer and have some sex now and then.
greed is so stupefying that it always wants more, such as the painting of fire exit doors on a chinese toys r' us factory that killed 250 people when a fire in fact did happen - that wasn't put into the news in the early 90s. and of course, to maximise profits the manufacturing sector fled north america.
so... the corporations reduced or didn't pay taxes. bombardier, for example was a canadian model of a very modern corporate goodie: and at one point it owed 8 billion in back taxes that they expected they would never pay and i suspect that they didn't. i have other examples of this that i came across while researching my economics debunked writing and course. and corporate welfare became a huge cash grab! for example, i talked with loan manager of the toronto domionion bank who describes how her bank, and others, had manipulated a small business government financial assistance plan and gutted it.
what does this have to do with school and allopathic health: the middle class tax base had been decimated by corporate anti-labour practices including outsourcing manufacturing; corporations largely stopped paying taxes; corporations became highly subsidised; and things like leasing fees for access to log crown lands were ridiculously low. what was the effect? suddenly the government couldn't afford to maintain the schools or hospitals. the country's (and its province's) wealth had been transferred to the corporations.
from where did school and health get their money? hospitals started charging usurious value added tax fees such as in parking lots, their cafeterias and luxuries like having tvs in hospital rooms. they closed wards, sometimes permanently, and began to use hallways for overflow. and they began to rely on lotteries, big scale lotteries that eventually resulted in lottery fatigue on top of the horrendous overhead costs of those things. off course they reduced staff, deferred maintenance and began to outsource services to lowest bidders, that saw bc hospitals being fed dreck that was shipped to them from ontario, 4000 kilometers way, etc. ie, it was a controlled demolition of health. oh! and the mba hospital administrators saw their salaries triple or more. hmmmm.
the schools i had more direct access to as a telecom engineer because the two big universities in bc began to condo their forested lands to raise money. i was the engineer who designed the phone system of the one and assisted at times with the other. the universities also deferred maintenance while the senior administrators saw their packages double, triple or more.
and the grade schools stopped expanding and doing maintenance. as i worked with a school board in vancouver, my contact there she said to me that at one time trailers for schools would be an object of shame and now they are announced with pride. and when i taught 'economics debunked' and 'banks skanks' at my local high school, the linoleum had been worn through to expose the wood below. and everything else was in an advanced state of disrepair too. during the course i commented to my students that the quality of repair here represents the level of respect this school is getting from our community because in our age wealth is what we respect and the bestowing of it is how we show that respect. i said that the students of this school are being taught the hypocrisy of our time by having blasted on a nearly weekly basis the words of how important schools were and yet they walk on floors with linoleum that has holes in it. ie, we have bestowed on the school and them the level of our respect: emptiness and hypocrisy only.
and a similar level of hypocrisy existed with hospitals funded by lotteries and value added taxes.
so with en, and her regard as to how logging financ*ed* schooling has fundamentally aligned herself with the hypocrisy of the last 40 years and is dreamily reminiscent about the time before that when it was the proper taxation of corporations along with a significantly large tax base in a working middle class that paid for schools and health: corporations are no longer taxed and are instead subsidised and a substantial middle class doesn't exist to be taxed.
perhaps another example of how our own shadows are easily projected on to people or groups whose structure can hook onto that shadow.
well, unless you consider 'socialist' to be a slightly misleading name for a protective gynocracy of helping us to death with soft words and kid glove handling of 'we are helping you save your self by keeping you safe from the terrors and toxins of life.' hmmmmm.
'gynocracy' is jasun horsley's noun to describe the devouring mother energy that looks to remove life under the guiise of 'for your own good' or 'because i love you as a mother would.' (unless your mother is narcissistic, of course! hmmmm. or is the devouring mother epitomised by narcissistic mothering? interesting question.)
"a bold examination of artificial intelligence, consciousness, technology, and the human urge to return to the womb.
the thesis of big mother begins with the premise that our disembodiment as a species is being engineered, and that, at the same time, we are engineering it through technology. it proposes that the primary driving force of human civilization is the desire to create through technology a replica of the mother’s body ―and then disappear into it.
taking us into the uncanny valley where neurodiversity, linguistics, consciousness, technology, demonology, rudolf steiner, philip k. dick, norman bates, ted bundy, transgenderism, liquid modernity, identity politics, the surveillance state, virtual reality, transhumanism, satanism, medical totalitarianism, and a new world religion of scientism collide, big mother explodes the technologically-assembled and technocratically-imposed architecture of illusion in which the modern human being is increasingly lost inside, and points the way back to our original soul natures."
he contrasts this by citing that it was motherly care and guiltripping that under covvid we were imprisoned first in our minds and then in self-imposed isolation practices. he contrasts this to the more typical [andro]cracy, aka the more overt and studied, ie 'typical' tyranny so well described by orwell as 'a boot to the head'. gynocracy is the soft guidance of a gloved hand injecting needles.
p.s.:
hmmmm. synchronicity? i turned to the playlist i'm compiling for my slow to be completed essay 'what kind of man am i?' the song in the line up is 'Your Woman' by White Town's album 'Women and Technology'.
Ah. In your initial comment you talked about "successful promulgation of the poisonous ideology of profit maximisation ... the successful infiltration of greed is good business ethics ....successfully replaced the non-corporatist government of canada with corporatists and corporatism at the same time."
That makes more sense to me--that the gov't favors corporations--rather than the gov't having a woman-centric or mother-centric point of view. The two seem mutually exclusive to me.
I was surprised when researching my last article on Michael Tsarion and the two anti-feminist women, to find them using the same vocabulary and assumptions as Jasun and John Carter and crew, or Rurik Skywalker, etc.
It made me wonder who had originated this concept that the problem is women having too much power, and the terms like 'devouring mother,' 'gynocentric,' and 'the longhouse.' If designed to pit us against each other rather than against the corporations and banks, it seems effective.
although i see that you didn't respond to my last comment, it came to me the other day more contemporary examples of the ancient archetype of the devouring mother. that of anneke luca and the queen of belgium.
you are familiar, i know, with anneke lucas's story. a stand out part of it, that doesn't seem to get much comment from my limited looking, is that it was her mother that drove her every week to be raped and tortured. did her mother know she had been tortured? as far as anneke was concerned, yes because the signs were on her body.
as to the queen of belgium. she had a relationship with an orphanage who supplied her with children. the orphanage knew that those children who were sent wouldn't return and were disappeared.
and there is the bleak history of hilary clinton's involvement with orphanages and pizzagate, yet another 'conspiracy' theory that is becoming more factual as the fbi agent and others associated with covering it up are now in prison serving scores of years of extreme child abuse.
The phrase 'devouring' mother is ancient with drawings of vaginas with teeth and alive in mythology. it is about the tendency that can come forward with the mother not wanting to allow their children to grow away from them. this is a well know 'problem' that, for example, the indigenous australians would address by having a mock kidnapping when the boys reached puberty to break that mother-child bond.
for example, the hansel and gretel story is another example of the ancient problem of the devouring mother. baba yaga also aligns.
as janice fiamengo has been arguing, there is a denial of the 'human' violent tendencies that exist in women. in a recent essay, she cites the statistics that women kill far more of their children than do the fathers. and what about the women in afica who circumcise their daughters?
so, i don't believe that you are correct that this description of death by an act of motherly caring for our health, death by injection and guilt and isolation, is pitting us against each other any more than is the claim that patriarchy, especially delineated to white males, is the source of all problems we are living. it simply does no one any good to singularise this social paradigm we are living in. at the same time, it is likely even more problematic to not see what the energies are. the complete emasculation of males in the grade schools and post seconxary schools is a result of the perception of a poisoned masculine toxicity and being made manifest by a feminine toxicity that has a very very long history. we are living in denial that the hilary clintons of the world are the true exceptions to the woman, while the gates of the world are typical rampant masculinity.
you have conflated the yin-yang/male-female human energies with the manifestations of greed and corporate authority hierarchal structures.
i will again cite the i ching, my paraphrase.
When we are faced with an obstacle that is to be overcome, weakness and impatience can do nothing. Strong individuals stand up to our destiny, for our inner security enables us to endure to the end. This strength shows itself in uncompromising truthfulness with ourselves. It is only when we have the courage to face things, other people and ourselves, exactly as they are without any sort of self deception or illusion, that the light will develop out of events by which the path to success may be recognised.
if we do not see that too much caring has been used to kill us, that is not going to help us deal with the false narratives of being healthed to death rather than beaten to death or simply shot.
Guy! Thank you for adding your insight to my stack. You seem perfectly positioned to supply those missing pieces, between your long experience there and your research at the same time for your Economics Debunked and Banks Skanks. I'm glad to have your deep and analytical perspective.
I also don't think unions are the answer. It's centralizing power in response to centralized power, which just makes the whole thing easy to control.
Quite the education in a comment you provide, my friend!
I agree on both counts. I've been trying to separate whether someone is a talented writer, an original thinker, and even a good person, from whether their ideas are right. And in all cases, what I criticize is a belief in superiority. That came across very strongly when I put her quotes and retorts to others together.
I'll repost what I put in YT to your kind response:
I'm so happy you saw this! I was going to post a note to you in the morning. Nickson certainly couldn't have picked on anyone better to call untrained, infantile and in need of an editor ;-) That made me laugh so hard!
At this stage I am seeing some be ‘revealed’ and it ain’t pretty. If you are not contributing to the raising of the hearts and minds of all then I’m off. I’ve learned some really interesting stuff from Alison McDowell, she has been showing us how the factions are so important and this is what is becoming more visible. I highly recommend her blog and YT.
I share the same overall feelings about Nickson (initially referred to her work by Celia Farber at the height of the scamdemic) and bought (haven't yet read) "The Monkey Puzzle." But I began sensing an underlying kind of "fascistic" hatred in her stuff before this onslaught you're writing about. I am not surprised at her "Christian fascist,""Zionist," whatever, reactions here. Maybe she goes out socially with Nikki Haley. She reminds me of Diana West, whose popularity also seemed to rise during the scamdemic because of her trenchant criticisms while still holding to her proud Muslim bashing history. Kudos to you. And Frances Leader.
Thank you Howard. Now that I've stopped being 'nice,' I found the story line built around her mother's horrific MK-Ultra experience to be thin. Just some plot holes, like a neighbor from another building seeing the silhouette of her brother hanging himself and breaking in in time to save him. Sorry if I'm giving too much away ...
That's interesting about Diana West. I followed her writing on Malone pretty closely but not anything else. I do remember being jarred by something she wrote.
I thought Celia's work on HIV/ AIDS to be very brave. When I read about that in RFK's book, I was convinced that Duesberg was right. It matched everything else I'd read, and the m.o. fit.
There's somewhere else I disagreed but I'm not sure where. It's in the same mental pocket as Naomi Wolf and her Satanic panic. Of course, I agree completely that the horrific rituals happen, but I don't see them having power except for blackmail and intimidation. I thought she and Naomi both see Satan as real, but I could be wrong.
Like (button dysfunctional)...I think I got to her via Celia, too, whom I still respect and almost always enjoy. There has been a lot of serious work done toward determining whether viruses in the manner we have been led to believe by adherents to the virological faith, but Nickson's frothing rabbidity makes me think the virus question may be more nuanced than it seems...or maybe there aren't any viruses and she just went old-school fishing with RFJ Jr and got some bait stuck in her head. DJ's off tonight, but try this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPpfdsaALDA
Maybe she had the whole Our Struggle of Dominant Underappreciated Victims thing worked out months ago, conveniently ignoring the info available soon after 7 October that the IDF effectively 'saw it coming' the night before and well before (was it from Grayzone?) plausible reporting emerged that Israeli intelligence 'saw it coming' as early as 2 years back and, of course, ignoring Israel's reasons for propping up Hamas in the political delivery room and showering it with birthday presents in the form of suitcases of cash...and just said, "Screw it...if I change my story, I might have to change my mind."
I suspect that McGregor's & Ritter's worst case projections regarding Israel's viability in the event of provoking Hezbollah's firepower are at least a 50-50 proposition and maybe worse...it's as though, unlike in my late friend Ron's routine, Israel is saying, "Yeah, I'm gonna need that 5th bullet." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRRvRsHVuvk&t=17s
My wife and I had business that took us to Vegas (from SoCal, so we drove) twice a year to a trade show for radio & related public safety equipment (cops & firefighters mostly). One night we went to a comedy show at The Comedy Stop at the Trop(icana) and Ron was the topline comic. We met briefly after the show at his little merch table and told him we hoped he'd be in town next time we were there for the trade show. I looked him up online and found his blog. His wife was moderating the comments area and mentioned that Ron was hoping to find a potato salad recipe from a BBQ place in Austin that BBQ sauce in it. Between at-home students, I often had 30 minutes to eat lunch or browse thrift stores that were on the way to the next kid's house. Mothers Day was coming up, so I stopped at place that had 'sort of remaindered' greeting cards, vitamins and books as their stock. Found a perfect card right away and had a few minutes extra, so I browsed their book racks and just as time was running short, I found a Texas-themed cookbook, and sure enough...there was the exact potato salad recipe Rhonda had mentioned. So, I got their address in Vegas and mailed the book and a week or so later we got a brief note along with two tickets. The next time our trip coincided with him playing in town, the post-show conversation was much more extensive. Over a couple of years, we wound up meeting for lunch at their fave Thai place for lunch, fave breakfast place and a dinner restaurant and got comped at any shows that we attended. This was all before we moved to Costa Rica in 2009, but during a visit to see my brothers in Austin in 2011, Ron was appearing in Houston and we drove over to catch what would be our last show of his...we had heard one of his longer routines on a CD and he performed it at Barb's request. It's not on YT, but if I can find the CD, I'll burn a copy and send it to you, eventually...might have to get Rhonda to send me a fresh copy, as I may have left it in Costa Rica with a friend. Ron wound up dying from a rare-ish cancer in the spring of 2012 and Barb died of a much less rare version in July just a few months later. The Antelope Series routine will have to wait a while, but here is Ron at the age we met and knew him...quite a Bio & CV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn_ii38CT-swww.youtube.com/watch?v=omhnw2f_pjs
I think his chortle sounds a bit like Phyllis DiIller's...you?
What an excellent story! I can see why you two would have hit it off. Both masters at milking the obvious, and I say that as a compliment. I take it as my biggest challenge to get people to see what's in front of their face.
Sheesh (not that kinda sheesh...don't do dat no mo)...I need to up my gecko balboa intake...I had this in mind to accompany the Brother Dave routine but forgot to look for a clip on YT for you...this is a live performance of a track from Blues for Allah (in a Top-40 DJ [or, considering the band and length, more like AOR DJ] voice: This next one goes out to 'can't quit bitchin' about the good old days' Fascist Lefty Liz in B.C.). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtFeMV_Ua9k
Milking the obvious? I'll wear that as a compliment indeed, and if reincarnated as Robert Baden-Powell, I will insist that it be the first merit badge (before the Boy Scouts get big enough to have a bureaucracy). So, if milking was the Toss Up question, here's your bonus prize (obviously [or not] scrambling an egghead from the old College Bowl TV show together with a generic game show feature to make an omelette that you won't metaphorically gag on & need to Toss Up). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj1g0mzy4tA&t=1s
No one embodies the twisted British sense of humor like the Python!
Yes, I was just reading about the 'Greater Israel' plan but isn't it even from the river to the river--is it Nile to Euphrates? I've been getting lots of good info from Oliver Boyd-Barrett on the push for WWIII and how that's really going. Do you read him? Here's one: https://oliverboydbarrett.substack.com/p/summer-conflagrations.
Thanks for the Chossudovsky. Always a fan. And thanks so much for your kind words, Julius!
OK, nobody embodies the Spanish Inquisition like Python, but they did have some hilarious antecedents. I know of The Goon Show by name, but not much else, but I know these chaps from a couple comedy LPs that my parents bought after seeing them on stage in Washington, DC in the early 60s. Went a long way to help me to forgive the occasional mild-to-moderate teenage grudges I had.
If you get this far...I recognize many lines and segments of this live performance from the old records, and read somewhere that Peter Cook had a basic framework for the routine but would extemporize new elements for every performance...so YouTube might be the only place you'll hear the 'million nude ladies in a coal mine' version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUZNynYXzM
Yes! Frances has led an epic life. That's a biopic I'd want to see!
And I agree, there are things about Nickson I really enjoy, including her deep dive into research. She isn't wrong that our compassion and love of nature has been weaponized--but she blames the compassion and not those weaponizing it.
Yes, we all have our strange quirks and peccadillos. We graze writers and ideas using our gut feel, cognitive dissonance and confirmation biases to identify our tribes and inform or verify our worldview. My, how mine had changed. Your great work is one such influence.
Am so very glad you wrote about this, Tereza, because I thought I was alone in my view on Nickson. I was a fairly early subscriber and great admirer of hers. She's a talented writer, even, speaker. Like you, I read "Monkey Puzzle Tree", doing so with great anticipation, since I had a lot of sympathy for anyone affected by the MKUltra programs.
Yet, I felt the plot to be a bit too pat and inauthentic in some ways I cannot specifically say (emotions of people/characters depicted somehow rang false -- for one?) but did feel a bit let down in the end.
But never mind that. Books can disappoint. It was more what I sensed to be an emerging ethnic supremacist tone in her defense of her white ancestors in Canada that first bothered me. (Being a non-Caucasian immigrant here myself, I felt uneasy with that wholly exclusionary attitude.)
What would clinch my full disgust and unsubbing was her full-on, pro-Israel, and anti-Palestinian, anti-Muslim stance after the "attack" on Oct 7 in Israel. She was willfully blind to any other views, and her calling student protestors "Nazis" and the phrase, "from the river to the sea" as "genocidal" only completed the revolting picture. For what else is Zionism about except ethnic/religious supremacy? But wasn't that exactly the thing the Jews keep accusing the Nazis of?
My appalled reaction to the Zionists, Israel, AIPAC & sympathizers became ironclad on learning more about the lies perpetrated about the "Holocaust" and "Nazis" etc etc etc especially after reading E Michael Jones' "The Holocaust Narrative" supplemented by articles at Unz Review, and the most succinct yet quite comprehensive and detailed book I've read yet, John Beaumont's "The Truth Will Set You Free."
Interesting that someone else mentioned Diana West in the same light. I unsubbed to Diana's Patreon account, too, at about the same time! Her conventional view on 9/11 still blaming the attacks on "Muslim terrorists" this late in the day was unacceptable. I was pretty active on her comment sections, too, posting there (as here, in my previous incarnation) as "Teresa L" (Impromptu Scribblings). While much of West's writings revealed what I felt were underappreciated facts re culture and modern history (unending adolescence, Communists in gov't), her unrelenting anti-Muslim view especially re 9/11 and all the holes in the official story was also unacceptable. I left her Patreon in disgust, too.
Are these two women unwitting or witting "chaos agents"? West was once at Heritage Foundation- and I knew that even when I agreed with a lot of her views on other things, although that background niggled at me.
I've been disturbed by my "irreconcilable differences" with them that arose at the same time, because it's also jeopardized my trust in a few prominent others who remain good friends or allies, anyway, with them.
At the time, I was feeling a bit disoriented, wondering that maybe that I was misguided, felt all amiss about my role (if any) in writing about what I perceived to be the truth here- and shut down my account, cold, in frustration. My circle of high-profile trusted writers and thinkers had shrunk so much after the Gaza events. After I resurrected myself with a new SS account with a vastly reduced readership that excluded most everyone before, I felt better, and have tried to steer clear of controversial topics. Have not been too successful of late, though!! I'm just thankful to the few readers who have stuck with me thru my mini-crisis (they know who they are).
Apologies for the long ramble! Thank you once more for your lucid exposition on this matter.
Oh, it's Teresa, my name-sis not nemesis ;-) No wonder this is so well written and thoughtful.
I'm glad, also, to have you and Julius validate my suspicions, which is how this started out. Sometimes I have to ask myself, is it jealousy that's making me critical, my go-to deadly sin of envy? But by the time I put together all the excerpts and emotional reactions to challenges to her ideas, I knew this wasn't just a difference of opinion.
I thought it was just a different perspective with the 'Obama has run out of brown people to kill' and unsubbed without comment. If someone hadn't drawn my attention to the women who I analyzed on my last article, I wouldn't have even seen the 'Protesters are Nazis' one. But that pretty much cinched it.
You hit the nail on the head with the 'Zionism is the ethnic supremacy they accused the Nazis of.' That's come to be a given to me--blame is projection. Whenever I read an unfounded accusation, I now take it as a confession. Thanks for letting me know about 'The Truth Shall Set You Free.' I'll check it out.
Yes, I too have gone through a 'refining' of those I read and, I'm sure, those who read me. The upside is that there are fewer to read so I have more time to write ;-) And I too wonder if they're part of the next circle of psyops to catch those who found their way out of the first ... or second ... or third.
That's where my sole (soul) dogma comes in handy, it gives me a stable measuring stick: People are inherently good and, when they behave badly, systems and stories are to blame. So anyone who blames collectives of people or individuals based on their innately defective characters, I challenge or just unsub, since their facts may be right but their basic premise of superiority contradicts my dogma.
I'm honored to have stayed in your reading list, despite knowing that we disagree on Christianity. Some people say, 'I love Christianity, it's Christians I can't stand,' but my position is the opposite. I love Christians, it's Christianity I critique. What makes it so compelling, I believe, are the open-hearted and inclusive people who project their own goodness and kindness onto Jesus. If the story enabled their goodness, rather than contradicting it, I think we would be unstoppable.
And I'm not saying that to change your mind about something fundamental to who you are, only to appreciate how gracious it is of you to not put me into 'irreconcilable differences' because of this. And I hope you will always remind me, as you do by your very presence, if I ever lapse into criticizing the people rather than the ideas. I never mean to.
And yes! On The Monkey Puzzle Tree, you put that succinctly. There was something that didn't ring true with the characters, that came across inauthentic. It was still a page-turner and I zipped through in a couple of days. But as fictionalized biography, it fell short.
RE: The upside is that there are fewer to read so I have more time to write ;-) And I too wonder if they're part of the next circle of psyops to catch those who found their way out of the first ... or second ... or third.
That very subject is discussed in a recent David A Hughes interview. He breaks down 3 categories; 1) official narrative, 2) alternative official narrative (Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Malone, etc.) 3) truth (I would suggest 3 is honest attempt at truth, followed by 4, deeper recognition of truth, etc.
Very interesting, I'll check it out. I do think there are at least two more circles of psyops--one to catch anyone who sees through the alt narrators. I think those are who I primarily tangle with, since I don't bother refuting the OffNarr. And at least one circle is there to catch everyone who thinks 'if they're suppressing it, it must be true.' There are so many layers.
Oh now he's talking about Malone and I realize he's the lead author on the piece about Desmet. Okay! I'm totally with you on Category 3 as an honest attempt at the truth. This is a very useful analysis. Especially now that I see his role as an academic, who's putting himself at risk for these statement. Good for him!
I'm making cream biscuits at the same time, for strawberry-blueberry shortcake. That's a version of red-white & blue I'm down with! So I'm somewhat distracted in my listening ;-)
"Especially now that I see his role as an academic, who's putting himself at risk for these statement. Good for him!" Exactly, super impressive and very rare - and you can download his book for free.
I'm listening now and here are two 'hot' takes: he leaves out the Rothschilds in his list of actors and only includes Deep State and the obvious WEF and BIS, but goes no deeper into who's behind them.
Laurent Guyenot is really interesting on the JFK assassination and how the 'conspiracies' about it being the CIA and Cuba were planted, so that the actual culprits of Mossad and JFK's refusal to supply arms to Israel would be obscured. This may be good for some who are at that level, but I think our circle has gone far beyond it.
I remember in my YT comments, how someone raised the question of what we call manipulation of your own domestic population. We agreed that psyops was the only appropriate term, even though it meant foreign manipulation at the time. How far we've come in that understanding! And David is getting us further, I'm sure.
"I love Christians, it's Christianity I critique. What makes it so compelling, I believe, are the open-hearted and inclusive people who project their own goodness and kindness onto Jesus. If the story enabled their goodness, rather than contradicting it, I think we would be unstoppable."
Perfectly articulated, TereZa. That statement needs to be shared and framed. Same goes for my Muslim friends. I have coffee/tea once every few weeks with my elderly Uzbek neighbour. We agree on so much that we can even navigate those critical differences as a questioning dialogue (for example, is or isn't China committing genocide in Xinjiang - I mean East Turkestan). If anyone's life story needs to be recorded and published, it is my chat-tea friend - I really must make the effort. He grew up under Stalin, then Mao, saw friends and family killed and eventually found his way to Australia. His family, community and people were otherwise just minding their own business.
He projects his inherent goodness and kindness through the Quran and Islam - that's just the environment he was brought up in, yet didn't become religious until much later in life.
haHA! Well put, Isaac ;-) Just because 'racist' has been weaponized doesn't mean the word has no meaning. If you need to specify that someone in your family married a Venezuelan and a Jamaican, you're right there with "some of my best friends are ..." And there are 'good Muslims, moderate Muslims.' They're just too cowardly to confront their neighbors about throwing their carcasses in the ditch.
She was on the Delingpod in the last few days. It was a little dry I thought, particularly on the MKUltra stuff…James was a gentleman (!) and didn’t challenge her much. Didn’t get much info out of it.
Gavin is a gem. way back when I remember him discussing how to cloak an orchard, edibles by blending them with the natural habitat (will have to go back and look that one up)… think about it a lot.
Isn't he though? I bought his book as a wedding present for my daughter and her husband, and he sent it with seeds. Amazing font of knowledge. In my new post, when I talked about neighbors having a farm share under the tutelage of an expert in permaculture, it was him I was picturing in my sweet little scenario. May it be so!
I’m glad you wrote this. I read her work but I live in and manage my own forest and she comes across as entitled. She is useful because the middle class Karens will hear her and she is sounding a very important alarm bell. At the end of the day if you spend your life on a computer it’s not likely you’ll truly get it.
Watched this on rumble and fully enjoyed your taking this on. Sometimes - especially when people are really impressed with themselves and their credentials - the hypocrisy is more than I can take it. I had already stopped reading her. Many impressive qualities and impressive blind spots too.
"To see the forest, let'ss get rid of the trees" made me happy.
This pseudo-leftist writer/journalist is controlled opposition, certainly of the ZioNazi crowd — anybody who remains pro-ZioNazistan after 7 Oct belongs to that controlled elite.
Her deranged take on the old Canadian forests, as exposed by Gavin, shows she is also part of the globalist cabal's controlled opposition, obfuscated by her opposition to the climate change hoax.
Wait a minute: seems to me she is for sale as controlled opposition for any group. There is a name for such ladies.
Yes Elizabeth Nickson is a Zionist running interference for I’real.
In addition, every EN article I have scanned contains references to her (generational) wealth and her salubrious surroundings including episodes of schmoozing with the rich and famous. Mind numbing.
She also makes sure you understand that, unlike other highly successful families, hers were principled and motivated solely by good deeds.
I suspect that like all other highly successful families, hers were also Freemasons.
If she was ever ‘on the left’, she certainly kicked that into the long weeds.
When everyone hates you, as she says lefts, Muslims (aka Persians?), Greens and bog-common humanity does, maybe it's about you and not them ;-)
I wonder if she was 'on the left' or 'running the left.' Every venue she wrote for has been exposed as a propaganda rag. And her time spent in the backyard with Nelson Mandela just after his release from prison--I remember reading about him as controlled opposition to quell the rebellion.
Thanks for responding, Linda, and letting me know the 'good little rich girl' routine goes deep.
You know, every globally prominent figure in the last century especially - if he isn't a head of govt or H'wood /entertainment celebrity or accomplished some well-known great feat or act of kindness, is now suspect to me. I've been seeing a series of faces in an anonymous billboard campaign here in central CA that has featured folks like depopulation supporter and chimp lover, Jane Goodall- and Nelson Mandela. Supposedly to send messages of inspiration about "doing something great or right."
Seems that very little in MSM is organic. Ever since Ed Bernays initiated his social engineering program via mass media, advertising and H'wood (for our benefit, of course- we who are too dumb to know what's good for us ourselves!).
And who owns and controls H'wood, Madison Avenue, and the media?
"When everyone hates you, as she says lefts, Muslims (aka Persians?), Greens and bog-common humanity does, maybe it's about you and not them ;-)"
This is a great point, T.
Whenever I notice that I'm seeing everyone through a critical lens - usually it's clueless' I realize it must be me, and I'm projecting something I can't see on to them.
It's actually very freeing when you catch that.
Oh, that would make everything about her make sense! I feel so deceived. Thinking about it now leaves a bitter aftertaste in the mouth.
Succinct and spot-on, Linda O! Thank you.
hola, tereza. an interesting read for sure. (my 'home' province for 47 years was BC.)
i have found en to be a ranter and that always brings a question mark to me. and, sometimes, a kind of peek into what might be going on in the collective shadow as expressed by any particular rant. and so i am an intermittent reader of her absurdistan.
as to the use of logs to supply bc with education and medical care: that *may* have been true to a significant extent from the 50s and perhaps into the 70s because the 'need' to pay big pharma hadn't yet reached fever pitch along with the successful promulgation of the poisonous ideology of profit maximisation. the late 70s and early 80s saw the successful infiltration of greed is good business ethics, which now i consider to be likely part of the plan that successfully replaced the non-corporatist government of canada with corporatists and corporatism at the same time. and the news also skewed towards pro-business greed as good ethics.
anyway, once the corporatist government was in place, the corporations applied for tax exemptions and got them because they argued that they are the great benevolent (welfare fed) capitalists who were the economic backbone of the country. and economic wellbeing became the the the sole heart and soul of our nation. and at the same time labour cost minimisation came into full force. that included the very active breaking of unions, reducing wages by maximisation un-benefited temporary and contract workers, reducing the sizes of workforces etc.
note: i have a lot of problems with unions, especially after attending some of their absolutely absurd and distressingly stupid meetings. it was while attending them that i realised that greed is more stupefying than sex because all that the owners of everything need to do is give labour just enough money to buy beer, enjoy some sports and not be killed during work, and unions will not formed. no sane person wants to struggle with that kind of organisation and being with stupid people when it is much more fun to watch sports, drink beer and have some sex now and then.
greed is so stupefying that it always wants more, such as the painting of fire exit doors on a chinese toys r' us factory that killed 250 people when a fire in fact did happen - that wasn't put into the news in the early 90s. and of course, to maximise profits the manufacturing sector fled north america.
so... the corporations reduced or didn't pay taxes. bombardier, for example was a canadian model of a very modern corporate goodie: and at one point it owed 8 billion in back taxes that they expected they would never pay and i suspect that they didn't. i have other examples of this that i came across while researching my economics debunked writing and course. and corporate welfare became a huge cash grab! for example, i talked with loan manager of the toronto domionion bank who describes how her bank, and others, had manipulated a small business government financial assistance plan and gutted it.
what does this have to do with school and allopathic health: the middle class tax base had been decimated by corporate anti-labour practices including outsourcing manufacturing; corporations largely stopped paying taxes; corporations became highly subsidised; and things like leasing fees for access to log crown lands were ridiculously low. what was the effect? suddenly the government couldn't afford to maintain the schools or hospitals. the country's (and its province's) wealth had been transferred to the corporations.
from where did school and health get their money? hospitals started charging usurious value added tax fees such as in parking lots, their cafeterias and luxuries like having tvs in hospital rooms. they closed wards, sometimes permanently, and began to use hallways for overflow. and they began to rely on lotteries, big scale lotteries that eventually resulted in lottery fatigue on top of the horrendous overhead costs of those things. off course they reduced staff, deferred maintenance and began to outsource services to lowest bidders, that saw bc hospitals being fed dreck that was shipped to them from ontario, 4000 kilometers way, etc. ie, it was a controlled demolition of health. oh! and the mba hospital administrators saw their salaries triple or more. hmmmm.
the schools i had more direct access to as a telecom engineer because the two big universities in bc began to condo their forested lands to raise money. i was the engineer who designed the phone system of the one and assisted at times with the other. the universities also deferred maintenance while the senior administrators saw their packages double, triple or more.
and the grade schools stopped expanding and doing maintenance. as i worked with a school board in vancouver, my contact there she said to me that at one time trailers for schools would be an object of shame and now they are announced with pride. and when i taught 'economics debunked' and 'banks skanks' at my local high school, the linoleum had been worn through to expose the wood below. and everything else was in an advanced state of disrepair too. during the course i commented to my students that the quality of repair here represents the level of respect this school is getting from our community because in our age wealth is what we respect and the bestowing of it is how we show that respect. i said that the students of this school are being taught the hypocrisy of our time by having blasted on a nearly weekly basis the words of how important schools were and yet they walk on floors with linoleum that has holes in it. ie, we have bestowed on the school and them the level of our respect: emptiness and hypocrisy only.
and a similar level of hypocrisy existed with hospitals funded by lotteries and value added taxes.
so with en, and her regard as to how logging financ*ed* schooling has fundamentally aligned herself with the hypocrisy of the last 40 years and is dreamily reminiscent about the time before that when it was the proper taxation of corporations along with a significantly large tax base in a working middle class that paid for schools and health: corporations are no longer taxed and are instead subsidised and a substantial middle class doesn't exist to be taxed.
perhaps another example of how our own shadows are easily projected on to people or groups whose structure can hook onto that shadow.
fascinating stuff.
Oh curious too that she calls the Trudeau gov't socialist. Another reversal of reality.
well, unless you consider 'socialist' to be a slightly misleading name for a protective gynocracy of helping us to death with soft words and kid glove handling of 'we are helping you save your self by keeping you safe from the terrors and toxins of life.' hmmmmm.
Define gynocracy please?
hola, tereza.
'gynocracy' is jasun horsley's noun to describe the devouring mother energy that looks to remove life under the guiise of 'for your own good' or 'because i love you as a mother would.' (unless your mother is narcissistic, of course! hmmmm. or is the devouring mother epitomised by narcissistic mothering? interesting question.)
horsley explores this in his recent book _big mother: the technological body of evil_. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/135688883-big-mother
description:
"a bold examination of artificial intelligence, consciousness, technology, and the human urge to return to the womb.
the thesis of big mother begins with the premise that our disembodiment as a species is being engineered, and that, at the same time, we are engineering it through technology. it proposes that the primary driving force of human civilization is the desire to create through technology a replica of the mother’s body ―and then disappear into it.
taking us into the uncanny valley where neurodiversity, linguistics, consciousness, technology, demonology, rudolf steiner, philip k. dick, norman bates, ted bundy, transgenderism, liquid modernity, identity politics, the surveillance state, virtual reality, transhumanism, satanism, medical totalitarianism, and a new world religion of scientism collide, big mother explodes the technologically-assembled and technocratically-imposed architecture of illusion in which the modern human being is increasingly lost inside, and points the way back to our original soul natures."
he contrasts this by citing that it was motherly care and guiltripping that under covvid we were imprisoned first in our minds and then in self-imposed isolation practices. he contrasts this to the more typical [andro]cracy, aka the more overt and studied, ie 'typical' tyranny so well described by orwell as 'a boot to the head'. gynocracy is the soft guidance of a gloved hand injecting needles.
p.s.:
hmmmm. synchronicity? i turned to the playlist i'm compiling for my slow to be completed essay 'what kind of man am i?' the song in the line up is 'Your Woman' by White Town's album 'Women and Technology'.
https://open.spotify.com/track/3UBItNVbFQiVC5hBQlBvnr
Ah. In your initial comment you talked about "successful promulgation of the poisonous ideology of profit maximisation ... the successful infiltration of greed is good business ethics ....successfully replaced the non-corporatist government of canada with corporatists and corporatism at the same time."
That makes more sense to me--that the gov't favors corporations--rather than the gov't having a woman-centric or mother-centric point of view. The two seem mutually exclusive to me.
I was surprised when researching my last article on Michael Tsarion and the two anti-feminist women, to find them using the same vocabulary and assumptions as Jasun and John Carter and crew, or Rurik Skywalker, etc.
It made me wonder who had originated this concept that the problem is women having too much power, and the terms like 'devouring mother,' 'gynocentric,' and 'the longhouse.' If designed to pit us against each other rather than against the corporations and banks, it seems effective.
Did it start with Jordan Peterson?
hola, tereza.
although i see that you didn't respond to my last comment, it came to me the other day more contemporary examples of the ancient archetype of the devouring mother. that of anneke luca and the queen of belgium.
you are familiar, i know, with anneke lucas's story. a stand out part of it, that doesn't seem to get much comment from my limited looking, is that it was her mother that drove her every week to be raped and tortured. did her mother know she had been tortured? as far as anneke was concerned, yes because the signs were on her body.
as to the queen of belgium. she had a relationship with an orphanage who supplied her with children. the orphanage knew that those children who were sent wouldn't return and were disappeared.
4hr interview
Epoché #003 Fall 2022 - Anneke Lucas
https://youtu.be/SBte1s7oqCc
her page:
Anneke Lucas https://annekelucas.com/
and Brecht Arnaert https://www.youtube.com/c/BrechtArnaert/
i didn't find my link to the belgium story.
and there is the bleak history of hilary clinton's involvement with orphanages and pizzagate, yet another 'conspiracy' theory that is becoming more factual as the fbi agent and others associated with covering it up are now in prison serving scores of years of extreme child abuse.
No.
The phrase 'devouring' mother is ancient with drawings of vaginas with teeth and alive in mythology. it is about the tendency that can come forward with the mother not wanting to allow their children to grow away from them. this is a well know 'problem' that, for example, the indigenous australians would address by having a mock kidnapping when the boys reached puberty to break that mother-child bond.
you may want to look at the great fascinating book 'An Analysis of the Archetype' by Erich Neumann and translated by Ralph Manheim. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1282241.The_Great_Mother
for example, the hansel and gretel story is another example of the ancient problem of the devouring mother. baba yaga also aligns.
as janice fiamengo has been arguing, there is a denial of the 'human' violent tendencies that exist in women. in a recent essay, she cites the statistics that women kill far more of their children than do the fathers. and what about the women in afica who circumcise their daughters?
so, i don't believe that you are correct that this description of death by an act of motherly caring for our health, death by injection and guilt and isolation, is pitting us against each other any more than is the claim that patriarchy, especially delineated to white males, is the source of all problems we are living. it simply does no one any good to singularise this social paradigm we are living in. at the same time, it is likely even more problematic to not see what the energies are. the complete emasculation of males in the grade schools and post seconxary schools is a result of the perception of a poisoned masculine toxicity and being made manifest by a feminine toxicity that has a very very long history. we are living in denial that the hilary clintons of the world are the true exceptions to the woman, while the gates of the world are typical rampant masculinity.
you have conflated the yin-yang/male-female human energies with the manifestations of greed and corporate authority hierarchal structures.
i will again cite the i ching, my paraphrase.
When we are faced with an obstacle that is to be overcome, weakness and impatience can do nothing. Strong individuals stand up to our destiny, for our inner security enables us to endure to the end. This strength shows itself in uncompromising truthfulness with ourselves. It is only when we have the courage to face things, other people and ourselves, exactly as they are without any sort of self deception or illusion, that the light will develop out of events by which the path to success may be recognised.
I Ching 5 Hsu / Waiting (Nourishment) p.25 Baynes/Wilhelm (my paraphrase)
if we do not see that too much caring has been used to kill us, that is not going to help us deal with the false narratives of being healthed to death rather than beaten to death or simply shot.
fascinating times.
Guy! Thank you for adding your insight to my stack. You seem perfectly positioned to supply those missing pieces, between your long experience there and your research at the same time for your Economics Debunked and Banks Skanks. I'm glad to have your deep and analytical perspective.
I also don't think unions are the answer. It's centralizing power in response to centralized power, which just makes the whole thing easy to control.
Quite the education in a comment you provide, my friend!
She is talented but completely blinded by her own hatred.
I agree on both counts. I've been trying to separate whether someone is a talented writer, an original thinker, and even a good person, from whether their ideas are right. And in all cases, what I criticize is a belief in superiority. That came across very strongly when I put her quotes and retorts to others together.
"We are not worthy!" https://youtu.be/jjaqrPpdQYc?si=GT1zFvpMrUu4JU8E
I'll repost what I put in YT to your kind response:
I'm so happy you saw this! I was going to post a note to you in the morning. Nickson certainly couldn't have picked on anyone better to call untrained, infantile and in need of an editor ;-) That made me laugh so hard!
And the Wayne's World clip ;-)
Lol
At this stage I am seeing some be ‘revealed’ and it ain’t pretty. If you are not contributing to the raising of the hearts and minds of all then I’m off. I’ve learned some really interesting stuff from Alison McDowell, she has been showing us how the factions are so important and this is what is becoming more visible. I highly recommend her blog and YT.
I've been so impressed by Alison. Please post a link so viewers have it handy. I cited her work, basing most of this episode on it: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/deep-fakes-eisenstein-and-rfk
Talented? Oh I see, talented in misplaced hatred. Got it !
I share the same overall feelings about Nickson (initially referred to her work by Celia Farber at the height of the scamdemic) and bought (haven't yet read) "The Monkey Puzzle." But I began sensing an underlying kind of "fascistic" hatred in her stuff before this onslaught you're writing about. I am not surprised at her "Christian fascist,""Zionist," whatever, reactions here. Maybe she goes out socially with Nikki Haley. She reminds me of Diana West, whose popularity also seemed to rise during the scamdemic because of her trenchant criticisms while still holding to her proud Muslim bashing history. Kudos to you. And Frances Leader.
Thank you Howard. Now that I've stopped being 'nice,' I found the story line built around her mother's horrific MK-Ultra experience to be thin. Just some plot holes, like a neighbor from another building seeing the silhouette of her brother hanging himself and breaking in in time to save him. Sorry if I'm giving too much away ...
That's interesting about Diana West. I followed her writing on Malone pretty closely but not anything else. I do remember being jarred by something she wrote.
I thought Celia's work on HIV/ AIDS to be very brave. When I read about that in RFK's book, I was convinced that Duesberg was right. It matched everything else I'd read, and the m.o. fit.
There's somewhere else I disagreed but I'm not sure where. It's in the same mental pocket as Naomi Wolf and her Satanic panic. Of course, I agree completely that the horrific rituals happen, but I don't see them having power except for blackmail and intimidation. I thought she and Naomi both see Satan as real, but I could be wrong.
Celia's book on HIV is outstanding.
Like (button dysfunctional)...I think I got to her via Celia, too, whom I still respect and almost always enjoy. There has been a lot of serious work done toward determining whether viruses in the manner we have been led to believe by adherents to the virological faith, but Nickson's frothing rabbidity makes me think the virus question may be more nuanced than it seems...or maybe there aren't any viruses and she just went old-school fishing with RFJ Jr and got some bait stuck in her head. DJ's off tonight, but try this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPpfdsaALDA
Maybe she had the whole Our Struggle of Dominant Underappreciated Victims thing worked out months ago, conveniently ignoring the info available soon after 7 October that the IDF effectively 'saw it coming' the night before and well before (was it from Grayzone?) plausible reporting emerged that Israeli intelligence 'saw it coming' as early as 2 years back and, of course, ignoring Israel's reasons for propping up Hamas in the political delivery room and showering it with birthday presents in the form of suitcases of cash...and just said, "Screw it...if I change my story, I might have to change my mind."
I suspect that McGregor's & Ritter's worst case projections regarding Israel's viability in the event of provoking Hezbollah's firepower are at least a 50-50 proposition and maybe worse...it's as though, unlike in my late friend Ron's routine, Israel is saying, "Yeah, I'm gonna need that 5th bullet." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRRvRsHVuvk&t=17s
Hilarious routine. You knew him?
My wife and I had business that took us to Vegas (from SoCal, so we drove) twice a year to a trade show for radio & related public safety equipment (cops & firefighters mostly). One night we went to a comedy show at The Comedy Stop at the Trop(icana) and Ron was the topline comic. We met briefly after the show at his little merch table and told him we hoped he'd be in town next time we were there for the trade show. I looked him up online and found his blog. His wife was moderating the comments area and mentioned that Ron was hoping to find a potato salad recipe from a BBQ place in Austin that BBQ sauce in it. Between at-home students, I often had 30 minutes to eat lunch or browse thrift stores that were on the way to the next kid's house. Mothers Day was coming up, so I stopped at place that had 'sort of remaindered' greeting cards, vitamins and books as their stock. Found a perfect card right away and had a few minutes extra, so I browsed their book racks and just as time was running short, I found a Texas-themed cookbook, and sure enough...there was the exact potato salad recipe Rhonda had mentioned. So, I got their address in Vegas and mailed the book and a week or so later we got a brief note along with two tickets. The next time our trip coincided with him playing in town, the post-show conversation was much more extensive. Over a couple of years, we wound up meeting for lunch at their fave Thai place for lunch, fave breakfast place and a dinner restaurant and got comped at any shows that we attended. This was all before we moved to Costa Rica in 2009, but during a visit to see my brothers in Austin in 2011, Ron was appearing in Houston and we drove over to catch what would be our last show of his...we had heard one of his longer routines on a CD and he performed it at Barb's request. It's not on YT, but if I can find the CD, I'll burn a copy and send it to you, eventually...might have to get Rhonda to send me a fresh copy, as I may have left it in Costa Rica with a friend. Ron wound up dying from a rare-ish cancer in the spring of 2012 and Barb died of a much less rare version in July just a few months later. The Antelope Series routine will have to wait a while, but here is Ron at the age we met and knew him...quite a Bio & CV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn_ii38CT-s www.youtube.com/watch?v=omhnw2f_pjs
I think his chortle sounds a bit like Phyllis DiIller's...you?
What an excellent story! I can see why you two would have hit it off. Both masters at milking the obvious, and I say that as a compliment. I take it as my biggest challenge to get people to see what's in front of their face.
Sheesh (not that kinda sheesh...don't do dat no mo)...I need to up my gecko balboa intake...I had this in mind to accompany the Brother Dave routine but forgot to look for a clip on YT for you...this is a live performance of a track from Blues for Allah (in a Top-40 DJ [or, considering the band and length, more like AOR DJ] voice: This next one goes out to 'can't quit bitchin' about the good old days' Fascist Lefty Liz in B.C.). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtFeMV_Ua9k
Milking the obvious? I'll wear that as a compliment indeed, and if reincarnated as Robert Baden-Powell, I will insist that it be the first merit badge (before the Boy Scouts get big enough to have a bureaucracy). So, if milking was the Toss Up question, here's your bonus prize (obviously [or not] scrambling an egghead from the old College Bowl TV show together with a generic game show feature to make an omelette that you won't metaphorically gag on & need to Toss Up). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj1g0mzy4tA&t=1s
I read her article and did not appreciate the sentiments of superiority at all. Thanks for calling it out, Tereza.
So good to see you here in the comments, Neshma!
I can't press the *Like button hard enough, so here's a {lumberjack] song.

I'll try and put some words around the Oded Yinon plan when I can - the original/actual river to the sea Hate plan.
“From the river to the sea” – the (not all) jews’ hate-fueled plan to genocide the indigenous Semitic people of the Middle East.
• “Greater Israel”: The Zionist Plan for the Middle East
• The Infamous "Oded Yinon Plan". Introduction by Michel Chossudovsky
https://www.globalresearch.ca/greater-israel-the-zionist-plan-for-the-middle-east/5324815
No one embodies the twisted British sense of humor like the Python!
Yes, I was just reading about the 'Greater Israel' plan but isn't it even from the river to the river--is it Nile to Euphrates? I've been getting lots of good info from Oliver Boyd-Barrett on the push for WWIII and how that's really going. Do you read him? Here's one: https://oliverboydbarrett.substack.com/p/summer-conflagrations.
Thanks for the Chossudovsky. Always a fan. And thanks so much for your kind words, Julius!
OK, nobody embodies the Spanish Inquisition like Python, but they did have some hilarious antecedents. I know of The Goon Show by name, but not much else, but I know these chaps from a couple comedy LPs that my parents bought after seeing them on stage in Washington, DC in the early 60s. Went a long way to help me to forgive the occasional mild-to-moderate teenage grudges I had.

If you get this far...I recognize many lines and segments of this live performance from the old records, and read somewhere that Peter Cook had a basic framework for the routine but would extemporize new elements for every performance...so YouTube might be the only place you'll hear the 'million nude ladies in a coal mine' version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUZNynYXzM
Oh, my! That caught me off-guard!
Predictive programming from Monty Python?
This (first I've heard of it) plus that segment in a movie showing a guy who seriously thinks he's a woman? ('Life of Brian'?)
They used to be funny jokes; now, they're really sad!
Frances Leader is wonderful, our Boodica. Do read her Sunday Memories biographical series too!
I subscribe to Nickson but the initial enjoyment of some of her work has left a sour aftertaste.
Self interest masquerading as a Freedom Warrior
Yes! Frances has led an epic life. That's a biopic I'd want to see!
And I agree, there are things about Nickson I really enjoy, including her deep dive into research. She isn't wrong that our compassion and love of nature has been weaponized--but she blames the compassion and not those weaponizing it.
Yes, we all have our strange quirks and peccadillos. We graze writers and ideas using our gut feel, cognitive dissonance and confirmation biases to identify our tribes and inform or verify our worldview. My, how mine had changed. Your great work is one such influence.
Thank you so much, Paul, that's very kind.
Am so very glad you wrote about this, Tereza, because I thought I was alone in my view on Nickson. I was a fairly early subscriber and great admirer of hers. She's a talented writer, even, speaker. Like you, I read "Monkey Puzzle Tree", doing so with great anticipation, since I had a lot of sympathy for anyone affected by the MKUltra programs.
Yet, I felt the plot to be a bit too pat and inauthentic in some ways I cannot specifically say (emotions of people/characters depicted somehow rang false -- for one?) but did feel a bit let down in the end.
But never mind that. Books can disappoint. It was more what I sensed to be an emerging ethnic supremacist tone in her defense of her white ancestors in Canada that first bothered me. (Being a non-Caucasian immigrant here myself, I felt uneasy with that wholly exclusionary attitude.)
What would clinch my full disgust and unsubbing was her full-on, pro-Israel, and anti-Palestinian, anti-Muslim stance after the "attack" on Oct 7 in Israel. She was willfully blind to any other views, and her calling student protestors "Nazis" and the phrase, "from the river to the sea" as "genocidal" only completed the revolting picture. For what else is Zionism about except ethnic/religious supremacy? But wasn't that exactly the thing the Jews keep accusing the Nazis of?
My appalled reaction to the Zionists, Israel, AIPAC & sympathizers became ironclad on learning more about the lies perpetrated about the "Holocaust" and "Nazis" etc etc etc especially after reading E Michael Jones' "The Holocaust Narrative" supplemented by articles at Unz Review, and the most succinct yet quite comprehensive and detailed book I've read yet, John Beaumont's "The Truth Will Set You Free."
Interesting that someone else mentioned Diana West in the same light. I unsubbed to Diana's Patreon account, too, at about the same time! Her conventional view on 9/11 still blaming the attacks on "Muslim terrorists" this late in the day was unacceptable. I was pretty active on her comment sections, too, posting there (as here, in my previous incarnation) as "Teresa L" (Impromptu Scribblings). While much of West's writings revealed what I felt were underappreciated facts re culture and modern history (unending adolescence, Communists in gov't), her unrelenting anti-Muslim view especially re 9/11 and all the holes in the official story was also unacceptable. I left her Patreon in disgust, too.
Are these two women unwitting or witting "chaos agents"? West was once at Heritage Foundation- and I knew that even when I agreed with a lot of her views on other things, although that background niggled at me.
I've been disturbed by my "irreconcilable differences" with them that arose at the same time, because it's also jeopardized my trust in a few prominent others who remain good friends or allies, anyway, with them.
At the time, I was feeling a bit disoriented, wondering that maybe that I was misguided, felt all amiss about my role (if any) in writing about what I perceived to be the truth here- and shut down my account, cold, in frustration. My circle of high-profile trusted writers and thinkers had shrunk so much after the Gaza events. After I resurrected myself with a new SS account with a vastly reduced readership that excluded most everyone before, I felt better, and have tried to steer clear of controversial topics. Have not been too successful of late, though!! I'm just thankful to the few readers who have stuck with me thru my mini-crisis (they know who they are).
Apologies for the long ramble! Thank you once more for your lucid exposition on this matter.
~Teresa L, aka An Observer
Oh, it's Teresa, my name-sis not nemesis ;-) No wonder this is so well written and thoughtful.
I'm glad, also, to have you and Julius validate my suspicions, which is how this started out. Sometimes I have to ask myself, is it jealousy that's making me critical, my go-to deadly sin of envy? But by the time I put together all the excerpts and emotional reactions to challenges to her ideas, I knew this wasn't just a difference of opinion.
I thought it was just a different perspective with the 'Obama has run out of brown people to kill' and unsubbed without comment. If someone hadn't drawn my attention to the women who I analyzed on my last article, I wouldn't have even seen the 'Protesters are Nazis' one. But that pretty much cinched it.
You hit the nail on the head with the 'Zionism is the ethnic supremacy they accused the Nazis of.' That's come to be a given to me--blame is projection. Whenever I read an unfounded accusation, I now take it as a confession. Thanks for letting me know about 'The Truth Shall Set You Free.' I'll check it out.
Yes, I too have gone through a 'refining' of those I read and, I'm sure, those who read me. The upside is that there are fewer to read so I have more time to write ;-) And I too wonder if they're part of the next circle of psyops to catch those who found their way out of the first ... or second ... or third.
That's where my sole (soul) dogma comes in handy, it gives me a stable measuring stick: People are inherently good and, when they behave badly, systems and stories are to blame. So anyone who blames collectives of people or individuals based on their innately defective characters, I challenge or just unsub, since their facts may be right but their basic premise of superiority contradicts my dogma.
I'm honored to have stayed in your reading list, despite knowing that we disagree on Christianity. Some people say, 'I love Christianity, it's Christians I can't stand,' but my position is the opposite. I love Christians, it's Christianity I critique. What makes it so compelling, I believe, are the open-hearted and inclusive people who project their own goodness and kindness onto Jesus. If the story enabled their goodness, rather than contradicting it, I think we would be unstoppable.
And I'm not saying that to change your mind about something fundamental to who you are, only to appreciate how gracious it is of you to not put me into 'irreconcilable differences' because of this. And I hope you will always remind me, as you do by your very presence, if I ever lapse into criticizing the people rather than the ideas. I never mean to.
And yes! On The Monkey Puzzle Tree, you put that succinctly. There was something that didn't ring true with the characters, that came across inauthentic. It was still a page-turner and I zipped through in a couple of days. But as fictionalized biography, it fell short.
Thanks again for being in my life!
RE: The upside is that there are fewer to read so I have more time to write ;-) And I too wonder if they're part of the next circle of psyops to catch those who found their way out of the first ... or second ... or third.
That very subject is discussed in a recent David A Hughes interview. He breaks down 3 categories; 1) official narrative, 2) alternative official narrative (Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Malone, etc.) 3) truth (I would suggest 3 is honest attempt at truth, followed by 4, deeper recognition of truth, etc.

Very interesting, I'll check it out. I do think there are at least two more circles of psyops--one to catch anyone who sees through the alt narrators. I think those are who I primarily tangle with, since I don't bother refuting the OffNarr. And at least one circle is there to catch everyone who thinks 'if they're suppressing it, it must be true.' There are so many layers.
Layers and layers. It should get really interesting. :-)
Oh now he's talking about Malone and I realize he's the lead author on the piece about Desmet. Okay! I'm totally with you on Category 3 as an honest attempt at the truth. This is a very useful analysis. Especially now that I see his role as an academic, who's putting himself at risk for these statement. Good for him!
I'm making cream biscuits at the same time, for strawberry-blueberry shortcake. That's a version of red-white & blue I'm down with! So I'm somewhat distracted in my listening ;-)
"Especially now that I see his role as an academic, who's putting himself at risk for these statement. Good for him!" Exactly, super impressive and very rare - and you can download his book for free.

Oh those sound great. How'd they turn out?
I always listen while doing something else.😊
I'm listening now and here are two 'hot' takes: he leaves out the Rothschilds in his list of actors and only includes Deep State and the obvious WEF and BIS, but goes no deeper into who's behind them.
Laurent Guyenot is really interesting on the JFK assassination and how the 'conspiracies' about it being the CIA and Cuba were planted, so that the actual culprits of Mossad and JFK's refusal to supply arms to Israel would be obscured. This may be good for some who are at that level, but I think our circle has gone far beyond it.
I remember in my YT comments, how someone raised the question of what we call manipulation of your own domestic population. We agreed that psyops was the only appropriate term, even though it meant foreign manipulation at the time. How far we've come in that understanding! And David is getting us further, I'm sure.
"I love Christians, it's Christianity I critique. What makes it so compelling, I believe, are the open-hearted and inclusive people who project their own goodness and kindness onto Jesus. If the story enabled their goodness, rather than contradicting it, I think we would be unstoppable."
Perfectly articulated, TereZa. That statement needs to be shared and framed. Same goes for my Muslim friends. I have coffee/tea once every few weeks with my elderly Uzbek neighbour. We agree on so much that we can even navigate those critical differences as a questioning dialogue (for example, is or isn't China committing genocide in Xinjiang - I mean East Turkestan). If anyone's life story needs to be recorded and published, it is my chat-tea friend - I really must make the effort. He grew up under Stalin, then Mao, saw friends and family killed and eventually found his way to Australia. His family, community and people were otherwise just minding their own business.
He projects his inherent goodness and kindness through the Quran and Islam - that's just the environment he was brought up in, yet didn't become religious until much later in life.
Great comment (ramble) - lovely to see you here, Teresa.
Thank you for the kind words, Julian! Thank you, too, for being a real pal through it all!
Poor Betty. She wants so hard to be one of the Chosen Peeps, but in the end she’s just another racist mole
haHA! Well put, Isaac ;-) Just because 'racist' has been weaponized doesn't mean the word has no meaning. If you need to specify that someone in your family married a Venezuelan and a Jamaican, you're right there with "some of my best friends are ..." And there are 'good Muslims, moderate Muslims.' They're just too cowardly to confront their neighbors about throwing their carcasses in the ditch.
She was on the Delingpod in the last few days. It was a little dry I thought, particularly on the MKUltra stuff…James was a gentleman (!) and didn’t challenge her much. Didn’t get much info out of it.
Gavin is a gem. way back when I remember him discussing how to cloak an orchard, edibles by blending them with the natural habitat (will have to go back and look that one up)… think about it a lot.
somehow I missed this.
Isn't he though? I bought his book as a wedding present for my daughter and her husband, and he sent it with seeds. Amazing font of knowledge. In my new post, when I talked about neighbors having a farm share under the tutelage of an expert in permaculture, it was him I was picturing in my sweet little scenario. May it be so!
I’m glad you wrote this. I read her work but I live in and manage my own forest and she comes across as entitled. She is useful because the middle class Karens will hear her and she is sounding a very important alarm bell. At the end of the day if you spend your life on a computer it’s not likely you’ll truly get it.
Thank you for shining a light on this and thank you for your thoughtful highlighting of my comments and linking to my work in your post.
I am grateful you help to give a voice to the ancient trees in this and glad the truth is coming to light about people like Elizabeth.
I am honored to walk this path along side of you sister.
Watched this on rumble and fully enjoyed your taking this on. Sometimes - especially when people are really impressed with themselves and their credentials - the hypocrisy is more than I can take it. I had already stopped reading her. Many impressive qualities and impressive blind spots too.
"To see the forest, let'ss get rid of the trees" made me happy.
Thanks, T.
This pseudo-leftist writer/journalist is controlled opposition, certainly of the ZioNazi crowd — anybody who remains pro-ZioNazistan after 7 Oct belongs to that controlled elite.
Her deranged take on the old Canadian forests, as exposed by Gavin, shows she is also part of the globalist cabal's controlled opposition, obfuscated by her opposition to the climate change hoax.
Wait a minute: seems to me she is for sale as controlled opposition for any group. There is a name for such ladies.
