However, I was thinking this morning that perhaps we reach opposite conclusions from the same set of data. You're pointing--correctly--to all the psychological manipulation that's done through media, education, mass communication and intelligence agency infiltration. And that's on top of them owning all the money and jobs. I definitely agree with that.
You then take that as a sign that people are gullible, have a herd mentality and can be controlled. I think the opposite is true. Look at all the interlocking systems that are needed in order to create this coercion--and even then, we slipped through the cracks.
Each of the psyops relies on those who saw through the last one, I think, and uses the sense of superiority they got in order to fuel the next wave. This one, I think, is the Trump-Musk wrecking ball that's going to turn the shadow gov't--the Usurpers/ bankers/ capitalists--into the only crooked sheriff in the Wild Wild West. And they'll use that to take over the Middle East.
But I don't think this will work because people aren't as gullible as they think. Hence, the need to argue among ourselves because we don't need to convince the masses, we just need to figure it out for ourselves. That's the wrench in their brainwashing machine ;-)

1. Check around, how many believe planes destroyed steel structure skyscrapers, or how many believe the Apollo movie?
2. What do we represent, my guess 2% would be an optimistic estimate
3. I was affected by their "counterculture" psyops of the 60s & 70s
Quote: "Hence, the need to argue among ourselves because we don't need to convince the masses, we just need to figure it out for ourselves."
We already can see through most of their psyops, our arguments help us see even more. Equally important is that communicating is mentally rewarding, and that has value in itself
Quote: "they'll use that to take over the Middle East"
A lot of chaos, wars and blood ahead in the region, but to conquer it... that will not be possible.
"That's the wrench in their brainwashing machine"
Yeah! Actually our work, even if it doesn't have the impact we hope for, but at least we are trying and not sitting by idly.
Well, I know someone I consider pretty savvy who didn't fully recognize the moon landing psyop until her friend posted about the significance of the timing. I don't bother arguing about things--even in my own head--without answering that fourth question in my process: "What does it matter?" So your answer to that made it all so obvious once I looked at the rest.
Now I look back at that feel-good movie about the black women who were the real engineers and think how hokey it was. My gut feel was already there.
Yes, I should have said, "They'll try to use it to take over the Middle East." I fully agree that they won't succeed.
I don't know that I'd agree we see through their psyops--we certainly don't agree among ourselves in the conspiracy community. Those who see JFK and 911 as an inside CIA job are more than 2%, imo, but those of us who know it was Mossad are 1 in a million.
You quote Matt Ehret in your article, but Julius has a lot of evidence that he's in on the next psyops, along with Mathew Crawford. I think this psyops has several facets. One is comparing the CovidCon to the Nazis, reinforcing that psyop. And even those speaking out are going for the macho 'Hitler ended the gay degeneracy' angle, not Hitler created sovereign money that gave Germans control over their own labor and resources.
And real men are either Abrahamic or atheists. Any form of spirituality that doesn't adhere to the patriarchal religions or renounce God altogether is seen as women's mushy-minded wishful thinking, lumped into either Theosophy or New Age. I don't think this is a coincidence, and one that Laurent and Kevin Barrett both fall for. And when I present my evidence on the Jesus story as a psyop, Kevin says "My favorite form of that type of speculation is [this science fiction novel written by a woman]. He never calls Laurent's research speculation or compares it to science fiction. Jus' sayin'.
I realize I am voyeuristically tuning into this convo much later than it was shared, but your patriarchal mention reminded me of the book, "When Woman was a God" you might enjoy.
Mossad & JFK? That's a new one to me, but putting aside mafia, angry racists, agency trained Cubans & more, why not?
Anyhoo-my intent was not to eavesdrop, but to come here & compliment you on your great article & the funny memes, but then I got lost in another dimension of the comments section, Beethoven's Egmont, Chopin, etc. Enjoyable mindmesh all around❣️
Voyeur away, Zara! I first put in 'When Woman was a God' and liked that concept, but it came up blank. Then I put in book and it came up as 'When God Was a Woman.' Ordered! I've been sitting on a draft called OMGoddess with lots of Amy's excellent AI art, so this is just the impetus I needed to finish it.
So sorry re the title of the book mix-up! I responded in comments hastily & forgot to include a link. For others: https://a.co/d/6f7iWqL
I read this book when it was first written & I found the patriarchal hijacking of history, quite interesting. The book’s writing style might be a bit dated (?)-idk as I’ve not revisited since. But now, after reading your wonderful writing & humor, I think you are a perfect candidate to do another book version of this history! I would def buy your book!
Re JFK, thank you for the links. I appreciate your follow up & will dive into when I get a chance!
I would still say to ICE-9 that all money is fiat. The question is 'who is king?' The reason entire continents were ruined was for gold and silver. It wasn't for their use-value but because they were declared, by the money powers, to represent man-hours of labor--in many multiples. Without that concentration, there could be no control over millions of people.
Germany's Feder bills were fiat, representing hours of labor, but that was with the glad consent of the people. Likewise for Franklin's scrip.
I had the same feeling watching an Ehret group interview awhile back. Everyone deferred to him. He seemed especially condescending in a leading question to Cynthia--who'd been quiet up til then.
I consider her the more original thinker of the two, and the deeper researcher. I feel that Matt is continually repackaging research he did in his grad school days. I wonder about their private relationship, and if Cynthia is in agreement with him on everything.
If Kevin or Laurent can't question something because it falls within their own religion, they're just competing with the Torah on who has the bigger, better psyop. You can't critique one psyop from within another.
On the next psyop, I wonder if the US will have another 'selection.' I think Trump is replacing the puppet gov't with the AI robot one. Interesting times, for sure!
Quote: "The reason entire continents were ruined was for gold and silver"
Rubber, nutmeg even bird shit (guano)...anything that could be monetized was reason to kill, pillage and enslave.
But this doesn't make rubber, nutmeg or guano useless or evil. It is the criminal acts to acquire them that are evil.
Quote: "Without that concentration, there could be no control over millions of people."
True but because these were obtained by destroying whole civilizations and ripping off wealth accumulated over centuries and millennia then by usury in the colonial metropoles.
Feder's bills and Franklin's scrip were successful mainly because it was the "government" that issued the money without debt on the government i.e. without debt on the people through taxation to pay government interest due to money lenders.
Quote: "If Kevin or Laurent can't question something because it falls within their own religion"
This an issue of "faith". The question is whether it is good or bad to have faith. Having been atheist a major part of my life, partly due to mass psychology manipulation of the "counterculture" counter-revolution, I have seen both sides of the coin. Today I believe religion as an important part of civilizational heritage, it is important to have in societies as it provides a framework for relations within societies and moral values to adhere to. This could be Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Aztec religion, African tribes, whatever, so long as it is a belief system that has been honed by centuries of communal existence.
Quote: "they're just competing with the Torah"
Here we disagree. As Richard Dawkins described it:
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
Quote: "Interesting times, for sure!"
100% agreement
By the way yesterday was the big funeral. No official estimates yet, by I wouldn't be surprised if it were 2 million (one third of the population). Later in the evening, chat over dinner with Pepe Escobar and Mohammed Marandi who had come over for the funeral.
Absolutely love you Tereza, N, xo 💕👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 (went the extra mile to copy my comment from YTB ‘cos this one, especially, deserved it to be heard twice). ✨
"Pleasing dissonance" reminds me of Ravel, who said he was searching for "beautiful dissonances", and he certainly succeeded (they're all through "Le Tombeau de Couperin"). And then there was Chopin 70 years earlier doing the same thing. There's a point in the Op. 62 #1 Nocturne where you're thinking, "Fred, what is this ugly noise???" Then a second later, "Oh, now I see!" (Around 1:37 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFlIvrEZ3nU&t=97s )
"Arguing should be fun!" It certainly is with you. I have ended up questioning my own prejudices, which is a good thing.
Having seen it before, that washing machine video made me laugh even before I pressed Play,
Haha, I thought of you when I wrote that! I thought the same before and didn't know why anyone would listen to that 'kaka-phony' ;-) And then I tried playing it, and took a class from a local legend to learn the science of improvisation--at which I utterly failed, despite reviewing diminished 13ths at stop lights. There is a method to the madness and, even though I couldn't do it, I started to be able to hear it. Where I like it best is in variations on 'sweet' tunes where it roughens them up. I have a version of Over the Rainbow I used to play that gave that juxtaposition.
But we will agree, I think, that this is a difference of branch, not root. Maybe even twig. Although I do know you take your art to heart!
"Nothing is more subversive than the meme because it hops, skips and jumps right over those ego boundaries and puts the contradiction square in your face like a whipped cream pie."
Thank you for this - answering an unformed question in my mind.
Love the meme collection here and your larger message.
Given where we currently are in the shredding of our old world, I do hope we see some advances in our ability to argue playfully! Thanks, T.
Thanks Tereza! While all of your meme choices are excellent, the beaver meme is my favorite. Here's why:
This whirled mess of "reality" has, over the last several decades, become dismissive of true artists. I mean, seriously:
Fragmented Jackson Pollack or (dare I say) death-cultist Marina Abramović "art," John Grisham "not-so-novels," scripted-by-screen-time film/tv, and pretty much all mainstream music since the Aughts? Maybe earlier? Ugh!
I love that one too! I didn't include it by the time I did the video, because it wasn't on-theme, but it kept tugging at my heartstrings. So when I did my Rat 'omage (fromage?) at the beginning, I was excited to slip it in.
I was otherwise going to give it a whole post on home ownership, and why a home owns you. I agree with you on artists and I have a feeling you'd relate on the lost art of home making. I'm in the middle of plumbers going and electricians coming and drywall and tile and door installers--all for a laundry room.
Maintaining the places where we are, and making them beautiful and functional is one of the joys/ frustrations of life, the other being caring for the people entrusted to us. And now it's being made out like it's a 'privilege'. But that beaver knows the truth.
Burst pipes in the garage apartment after a few days of hard freezing here...strangely, the repair cost was lower than the ~~$400 bump in the water bill...all fixed now, though. Ala Yakov Smirnov...Home ownership, what a country!
Like the 'pleasing dissonance' angle, here's a lyrical one from France that's adjacent to the home angle in a geneological sense and also brings home, in a cheesey way, your beckoning of Ratatouille... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxxV05p11lc
“The best arguments, however, are with people for whom you have boundless affection and who like you in return. Arguing should be fun!”
I remember us having a fantastic to and fro about the Bible in the early days: whether it was supernatural, Astrotheology or simply a diabolically creative rewriting of history. I have no idea where we landed, but I remember being left knowing without doubt that you are a real one.
Oh I remember that too! It seems so long ago in the Shemitah days. You brought me so much new information that clicked into place with other things I'd suspected. It felt like the best of both worlds--an internal dialogue with myself and a different lifetime of experience asking the same questions brought into the conversation.
Without your research into the Don and his Doge, I'd be missing all the occult significance of this geopolitical astrotheological moment. It's become so much a part of my thinking that I can't even go back, in my imagination, to when I didn't know it. Whatever the outcome of our Bible to-and-fro, my relationship to the confluence and eddies of the star-swirled sky will never be the same. You added things that are now certainty in my mind, both with astrology and the occult motives of the Yahwist usurpers.
Thank you for those kind words on being real. Ditto!
another fun read and confirms our fundamental alignment. for a long time i have been arguing that it is the separation into deservedness and undeservedness that gives the moral authority for 'good' people to do 'bad' things.
and another nice synchronicity between our writings! i am on a multi-post series that in part explores that challenge of others calling a bully for my use of and/or quality of expressing my anti-bully language. how true is that and how can i know what is true in that 'relationship'? i've explored the formation of that categorisation, my part in it, and had an aha that conversation that convenes to the dominant bass-line within each of the participants. it may look like we are dancing with each other while the rhythm of the each is not discordant jazz simple discordance.
and more recently example of that was that i called a 'joy thief' because i claimed to feel joyful in a group in which the leader felt none of that joy. rather he felt a lack of 'conguence' inheres within me and questioned to the extent that i am stealing their joy. hmmmm. again, how true is that? following my own processes, some of which a meme or two here highlighted, came into play.
and now for some humour! yes, it is humour that often marks the tearing up of an old moral truth and stepping into expanded awareness, that which sees ostensible irreconcilable contradictions as irrevocably part of a whole.
we are living the bhagavad-gita and the great apocalypse at the same time! all the best with what is changing. everything changes! with peace, respect, love and exuberant joy.
I just learned that the fellow who made that hilarious washing machine video (and many other fascinating videos about repairing and destroying machines) killed himself at age 33 in 2019.
Quote: “The root of all false stories is that there are good and bad people, and we have to make sure the good people are in charge of the bad.”
Do we live in a system that makes sure the bad people are in charge of the good, or is it the system that makes people at the top bad?
Quote: "Our reluctance to challenge the ideas of our friends enables friendship to be weaponized.”
Reminds me of when Dan gave a presentation on AI over a beer night at my place; when he finished, told him you get 20/100 coz I am generous. lol lol

I really must give credit to ICE-9 for making the connection with pure fiat money.
Definitely JFK & 9/11 Mossad main actor, but with significant participation of key elements from US intel agencies
A week ago I tried watching a video with Ehret and several others... he was kind of lecturing all the others... could only watch a bit
Quote: Hitler created sovereign money that gave Germans control over their own labor and resources" Exactly!
Quote: " when I present my evidence on the Jesus story as a psyop".
As a Moslem, Kevin cannot accept that, because a lot of space in the Koran is devoted to Jesus.
Quote: "The next psyops"
I believe the focus will be towards creating greater antagonism between the pro-Trump and anti-Trump factions.
I would still say to ICE-9 that all money is fiat. The question is 'who is king?' The reason entire continents were ruined was for gold and silver. It wasn't for their use-value but because they were declared, by the money powers, to represent man-hours of labor--in many multiples. Without that concentration, there could be no control over millions of people.
Germany's Feder bills were fiat, representing hours of labor, but that was with the glad consent of the people. Likewise for Franklin's scrip.

and another nice synchronicity between our writings! i am on a multi-post series that in part explores that challenge of others calling a bully for my use of and/or quality of expressing my anti-bully language. how true is that and how can i know what is true in that 'relationship'? i've explored the formation of that categorisation, my part in it, and had an aha that conversation that convenes to the dominant bass-line within each of the participants. it may look like we are dancing with each other while the rhythm of the each is not discordant jazz simple discordance.
and more recently example of that was that i called a 'joy thief' because i claimed to feel joyful in a group in which the leader felt none of that joy. rather he felt a lack of 'conguence' inheres within me and questioned to the extent that i am stealing their joy. hmmmm. again, how true is that? following my own processes, some of which a meme or two here highlighted, came into play.
and now for some humour! yes, it is humour that often marks the tearing up of an old moral truth and stepping into expanded awareness, that which sees ostensible irreconcilable contradictions as irrevocably part of a whole.

we are living the bhagavad-gita and the great apocalypse at the same time! all the best with what is changing. everything changes! with peace, respect, love and exuberant joy.

Hi Tereza,
I found a cool 50 second YouTube intro that answers the question of why this crow crossed the road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egL3Ha-MB0o
That washing machine was a hoot, but that coffee meme is me most of the time. 😊
Beautiful post, T. ❤️
Thank you, Tonika!
I just learned that the fellow who made that hilarious washing machine video (and many other fascinating videos about repairing and destroying machines) killed himself at age 33 in 2019.

That is so horrible, Mark! Who would have thought that this funny video would be a deep sociological statement. I'm so sorry to hear that.
I know, it's terribly sad. The guy was brilliant and funny and loved by many.
