I know that I’m very late to this party, but I am loving James Corbett! He’s funny, well-informed, has technology capabilities and production values that have me green with envy, is entertaining and quick-witted, and maybe most importantly, is logically consistent. This is true both within his own framework and with my own core dogma, that I’m no better than anyone else. His analysis of history is therefore unimpeded by barriers for off-limit topics, yay!
Health Responsibility Movement is fantastic, hopefully it sticks.
Corbett is definitely one of the truther voices I trust most: as you say, logically consistent with a high intellectual integrity, but also consistent in his tone and emotions, without falling for the sensationalism and grandstanding that many others do. He put me in my place more than a few times during my Qtard phase.
Also, thankyou for slogging through Steiner so we don't have to! He is hard work, I know I should take the time to sit down and read more of him, although audiobooks on long car rides make the slog a bit more appealing. I find the Ahriman/Lucifer archetypes a very helpful framework for understanding how our world is governed.

Great post, Tereza. I confess to being late to Corbett as well, and find myself having a very similar appraisal of his contributions as you have. (My forward thinking sister has been aware of him for many years!) He is a valuable voice indeed. Perhaps I say that because he aligns with my many comments about the importance of removing 'hero' worship, aka 'hopium'. The elevation of the hero is the creation of the victim.
Yes! The opposite of 'hope' is personal responsibility. Fantastic observation! There is the possibility of confusion between what in yoga is called 'ishvara-pranidhana', loosely translated as 'trust in God', where that means more accurately, imo, taking responsibility to align yourself with God rather than the self-delusional 'hope' that God will be the deus ex machina that arrives as the ultimate just-in-time 'hero'. JC directed us to look within, ie, take personal responsibility for becoming your own hero as an expression of God. A strong version of 'ishvara-pranidhana.'
And Corbett also agrees with my observation that to fight this war is to lose the war, because that action is in fact the reaction-energy that the cabal require to remain alive. Simply disengage and create parallel systems! Understand that the 'central' bank is an artifice only recently constructed and totally unnecessary. (Tereza, did you read Jane Jacob's brilliant book "Cities and Wealth of Nations:f Principles of Economic Life"? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85401.Cities_and_the_Wealth_of_Nations.)
Are we able to recognise that 'partisan' political systems are inherently self-corrupting and will at best have short-term (quasi)efficacy?
"Money" is not required for a society to function (despite Jacob's great argument about how 'city money' was crucial in having created the wealthy cities and that central currencies will impoverish cities!)
Do we have the ability to imagine something that does not yet exist?!
Your citation from Steiner, and your experiences that have confirmed his words are also confirmed by my own similar experiences. I've had many astounding 'alignments' or 'coming togethers' of information and/or so-called knowledge and/or ostensible/unstable truths that have created spontaneous and totally acausal/synchronistic or intuitive appreciations of deeper understanding. I've had so many 'ahas' about so many ironclad solid truths crumbling into dust that now everything is, as Gautama Buddha astutely observed, impermanent.
(Side note: Cosmos Agent Roger 23 comments in this discussion that 'change is also a possibility' and so is not absolute because the choice to remain unchanged is extant. In my not too distant past I may have agreed with him in the following way: 'Most people would rather die than change. To really change means that something held true will die, otherwise it isn't *real* change. And instead of allowing a truth to die, many (most?) humans choose to die. Fascinating.' Does that mean that change was 'just' a possibility? Nope. I now appreciate that the choice of remaining rigid and unchanging itself invariably precipitates change. I understand at a more visceral level the common Taoist (and other writers) observation that flexibility is aligned with the energy of being alive, rigidity the energy of being aligned with death. Both lead to transformation, and are therefore 'structures' of impermanence.)
You have pointed us towards many resources here, Tereza. Thank you. I'll do my best to get through them quickly.
I see my contribution to resisting the biggest, most limiting threat of control on our freedom that we face; the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty still on course for May 2024 has been to research and write about no virus, no contagion. No need for any vaccine, digital id, mask, lockdown, social distancing, murder by midazolam nor fake pandemic ever, ever again. Corbett is still talking about 'severely overestimated case numbers' for diseases that don't exist cause by non-existent viruses.
Of course unelected officials at the WHO shouldn't have any control over us but we could easily get rid of them if we understood that disease is not communicable.
I certainly can believe that WWII could have been avoided after seeing that this current special Military Operation of Russia also could have been avoided had Ukraine de-nazified, stopped bombing there own people, kick the western biolabs out of their country and not seek Nato entry. Not unreasonable requests imo. But Ukraine would have to stand up to America or not have let them take over in the 1st place. The leaders of our country who are controlled by the central banksters, are cruel sick people who wish to spread their illness to everyone else. I have watched this situation with Ukraine unfold very closely and like you said Tereza the people who control our country will stop at nothing. They no no boundaries and the crazier it sounds the more likely they will do it. That's why its so hard for people to believe and apparently no one has seen the "mean girls" movie. I have not read Mr Corbett. I only heard of him mentioned by someone recently and it was not in a favorable light.

I think this may resonate with many here and also reminds us that we're dealing with age old issues.
"Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a proportion of men, long after nature has released them from alien guidance (natura-liter maiorennes), nonetheless gladly remain in lifelong immaturity, and why it is so easy for others to establish themselves as their guardians. It is so easy to be immature. If I have a book to serve as my understanding, a pastor to serve as my conscience, a physician to determine my diet for me, and so on, I need not exert myself at all. I need not think, if only I can pay: others will readily undertake the irksome work for me. "

Now, I'm outta here for now. the chickens are squaking and the weeds are growing!
James is spot on and has been for years. I think that is partly because of where he lives , he has an 'outside looking in' view of the world. You wont go wrong listening to him.

responsibility, by definition, is personal, different for everyone based on their individual situation. part of this is an intentional disregard for the individual.

And yesterday in Corbett's report, he posted a nice short interview on 'statist' versus 'voluntaryist' and the invocation of the value of 'autodidacticism' A gentle and interesting discussion of the problem of how to 'move' statists to 'anarchists'. The humour and gentleness here confirms the depth of Corbett's wisdom.
The Palestinians and Israelis have been volleying ammo back and forth last night or night before last. Also Pakistan just had a military issue of sorts around the same time with an indicated comment about India/Pakistan feud. How can Vickey be everywhere at once? But seriously They are trying their hardest. Yes, the 2 people I love the most!: You and Matt/Cynthia and Co. ! Its a funny thing: consolidation is easier to control, but then you have the divide and concur. PS: Greeced lightening was A great chapter. I want to read it again before I move ahead because I think we are headed there sooner than later. Yikes
One of the good things about the covid fiasco-fraud is that people are beginning to ask questions and to understnad that "authorities" may not be what we wish they should be. This is the first time I've ever read of anyone mentioning Pat Buchanan's book and I would like to add that he has (Had? I have not checked) a fine website wiht many excellent articles on WW2. Same goes for Paul Craig Roberts.
Here's a quote and a link to a short article that I consider a classic on this subject.
“… this entire myth, so prevalent then and even now about Hitler, and about the Japanese, is a tissue of fallacies from beginning to end. Every plank in this nightmare evidence is either completely untrue or not entirely the truth.
If people should learn this intellectual fraud about Hitler's Germany, then they will begin to ask questions, and searching questions…”
Murray Rothbard, Revisionism for Our Time
Mr. Rothbard was an American historian of the very highest caliber.
Here are a couple of quotes from some excellent books.
I suppose it began with a sense… that what the average child is taught about major historical events is a pack of lies.
-Gerard Menuchin, Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil p12 (2016)
Falsehood is a recognized and extremely useful weapon in warfare, and every country uses it quite deliberately to deceive its own people, to attract neutrals, and to mislead the enemy. The ignorant and innocent masses in each country are unaware at the time that they are being misled, and when it is all over only here and there are the falsehoods discovered and exposed. As it is all past history and the desired effect has been produced by the stories and statements, no one troubles to investigate the facts and establish the truth. Lying, as we all know, does not take place only in war-time. Man, it has been said, is not "a veridical animal," but his habit of lying is not nearly so extraordinary as his amazing readiness to believe. It is, indeed, because of human credulity that lies flourish.
- Arthur Ponsonby, MP, Falsehood in War Time (1929)
Another excellent book that exposes and explains the lies, with perception, sensitivity and nuance is Douglas Reed's. "The Controversy of ZIon."
As for the Unz site, it is full of excellent stuff, but I've come to believe that it's a limited hangout. It harps incessantly on a lot of unnecessarily divisive garbage as well. That said, Unz has an archive site full of old newsmagazine article and books which is a true gold mine of information.
The war on hope is a communist tactic to demoralize people.
Hope in the proper sense can only be related to the true and living God. Anything else falls short.
The mundane version of hope is more nuanced. The enlightened Atheist shares with the Christian the belief that it is better to not have hope in people, much less in their promises.
What is it okay to hope for in this life, in this world? The always present possibility of change.
"But change is a fact, not a possibility. Everything changes all the time."
Not so. Change is also a possibility. When people make a mistake, they have to correct that, but that change is often prevented by pride.
A rational hope is that some people will change when they are bored of getting always the same pain. At some point, the self preservation instinct overrides pride.
This is only one example.
The law in general allows for rational hope to change. Conciliation is often a possibility, sometimes it is good to start with the qualified hope that change will happen.
It's always a bad practice to get drunk on hope, no matter how reasonable it is in a given situation. But used correctly, at the time it is useful, rational, well measured hope helps our thoughts to advance.
The pessimistic bias shows up because it is really true that most of the time there is no rational hope available for the situation at hand. Then, we jump to conclusions. Then, we demoralize ourselves preemptively.
That's worse than hopium, that's hoptanyl overdose.
That's what the communists want. Self-demoralization, which boils down to inducing confused thinking.
Common practice of the communists: they recommend Dante's Inferno, and not the other two parts. It's always incomplete works. Always emphasizing one part of the art, and throwing the whole work to the curb. That's the general case of the war against hope.
It's similar to refusing to consider the human body as a whole in medicine. The communists will destroy and Scientist that attempts to study the totality.
Also, the victim mentality is based on hiding a large chunk of reality. It's another part of the programs of demoralization and self-demoralization. Lose hope in reality, you are a victim, and if you try anything then you are proving our point. There is only one way to overcome victim mentality, which is through the cultivation of hope that creates action.
I insist: for this world, for dealing with flawed humans, only rational hope is okay, and only in counted occasions.
Hope is an opiate for the masses. It is meant to disorient and blunt personal agency.
Hope is flailing about in the 21st Century with apologetic and weak people who have been down so long and sadly have accepted that condition as part of their natural situation and believe it can only be altered through some divine, magical intervention as noted circa 2008 with the post-modern political pablum platitudinal company man Obama and then through the Orange Man carnival barker.
Two different brands of the same drug.
As an aside the Audacity of Hope™ (Obama's book) is an oxymoron on the face of it, according to the Greeks. There's no "audacity" in hope. It is the stuff of denial and cowardice - two other escapees from Pandora's box.
Health Responsibility Movement is fantastic, hopefully it sticks.

I have hope in humanity. We are less violent, more communicating, than in the past.
The issue is that those who hold hope over our heads, while profiting on not fixing issues are the ones who clog the channels.
But people are learning that too as mass media followings are at an all time low.
Same with politics, 50+% are independent, which means it's the minority that play team sports.
That's why they had to have a seminar at the WEF about how to gain back trust.
Haha, once you're at that point, you went too far.
