Many commenters on my posts are seeing all the wars as psyops. They are saying that the object of the exercise is to keep the narrative loaded with fear porn. The Empire vs BRICS Alliance is almost a new film at the box office and if we buy a ticket we are lending the blockbuster movie our power!
The UN was a unipower and now they are trying to make it into a multipolar arrangement....
They are seeing all participants as part of the plot.
Me? I see the Nobs trying to destroy life itself. They don't care how we get there.... just as long as we (and all life) are dead - leaving the world to them and their new designer GMO World.
Surely they don't see Ukraine/ Russia or Israel/ Gaza/ Lebanon as fake events? What do they mean by psyops? The nuclear threat doesn't really concern me since there's nothing I can do one way or the other. And it doesn't fit my theology that the world could end without fulfilling its purpose. It's what's happening to other people right now that breaks my heart.
I just listened to Vanessa Beeley talking to Marwa Osman: https://beeley.substack.com/p/the-way-forward-after-the-martyrdom. Marwa was on camera when she got the news of Nasrallah's death. Her reaction made me cry. I can't even fathom that kind of genuine emotion for a public figure. There are actual heroes, somewhere in the world.
The RIC may be compromised but it's hard to see any alternative. It's the only chance I see that the Nobs don't get their way.
I think that by calling it all a psychological operation they are saying that all the wars are conducted purely to terrorise us all. Yes, real people are abused, maimed and killed….. psychologically inhibiting all resistance to the totalitarian globalism.
Anyone who takes part in the war is a puppet of totalitarianism. I don’t agree with this entirely but I do see what they mean.
I never forget about the Pentagon Brief by Thomas P Barnet, in which he described the world as a binary system.
If you live in the GAP you have two choices, migrate or die.
If you live in the CORE you have no choice. Accept poverty, immigrants and debt.
Definitely designed to terrorize someone but not us, imo. Not because we're fearless but because we're oblivious. If it doesn't effect us, people don't care. Malone is ranting about 5th gen warfare with every person who criticizes him, Lebanese are having their hips blown apart.
Agreed on the GAP and CORE map, and that everyone is a victim--I might even include the ruling class. This scheme was designed generations prior to them and I still think it's possible they've all be traumatized into going along with it and keeping quiet.
excellent critical view of what is happening way out there. i tend to be a bit of a by-stander of the broader geo-political 'stuff' with my focus on the importance and demands for each of us to look at our shadows and the importance of bringing them into the light of day so that we aren't projecting them as guided towards the morally justified undeserving of the day by whoever is doing the fear porn.
essays like this really pique my curiosity and futher allow me to more critically look at what others are saying is true about the big bad world
and also interesting and important is the trump as zionist! that is an important citation from that speech.
time will tell! as the great apocalypse continues to show us all the dirt hiding under our carpets and floor boards.
all the best with what is changing. everything changes. with peace, respect, love and exuberant joy.
Right, Naomi. China FORCED the U.S. to move all its industry there. China FORCED the U.S. to give pharma R&D money to it. China FORCED the U.S. to use its PCR tests (if in fact, they were really "created" by China). China has FORCED the U.S. to do just about everything. How about FORCING the U.S. to unconditionally arm and enable Israel (which it has basically done since Kennedy was assassinated)? Is that China, too? Or is it something not relevant in your "patriotic vision?"
Several years ago, I came across a mind boggling essay by a guy who goes by the nickname ICE-9, and I referenced him in my book. I searched for him, but could not find him till a few days ago. I also found out that he's on Substack https://ice9.substack.com/archive which has all his articles, except one:
On more than one issue, he aligns with your writings by over 90%
Quote: "It will be clear in looking at this list that global domination can only be accomplished through controlling the money"
100% correct. As a matter of fact, it is only possible to understand essence of the current wars in Ukraine & Southwest Asia by realizing that the Empire is in absolute panic mode because of the crumbling of their fiat money edifice. Hence the wars will escalate, particularly in Southwest Asia where a significant portion of global energy reserves exist. Losing these would crash the empire.
Not to worry though, the Empire will lose.
ICE-9 digs deep into the issue of money in a fascinating study:
"What is new is that three major powers not controlled by the US have joined together: Russia, China and Iran. Whether they replace the OWGists as a new empire..."
We shouldn't underestimate the OWGists. If those three major powers are not controlled by the US, it's only because they constitute one pole of the dialectic under their control, which is designed to lead to WW3, an "eschatological" necessity for the Yahwists and the intermediate phase before the Great Reset. Those three powers are all under the "unipolar" money control of the Globalists, as all of them are IMF members.
Yes, I realize that Putin was a YuGL WEFfie and Xi has certainly implemented Great Reset policies. I'm not sure what the alternative is, though. Despair? For many, the OWGists seem downright invincible, for some, having supernatural powers. I've done some research into Putin's policies and I've found them sensible. See what you think: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/russia-a-wrench-in-the-reset-gears
Hello again, I'm intrigued that you're still determined to see everything through the lens of the WEF being a real threat and not a vanity project started by a weirdo? (It's also currently being used to scaremonger about the left and increased government regulation in order to promote and protect free markets and Imperialism in the face of the climate crisis and human rights.)Yes, Putin went for some jollies and zoom meetings in Davos. Yes, China is socialist with Chinese characteristics (though there's no 'social credit' system).
You're determined to see the emergence of the multipolar world as in fact just more one world government even though it gets harder and harder to hold this notion in place?
Hi, Jo. I'm not sure if your reply is addressed to me or jamalh. For myself, I see the WEF, WHO, IMF, BIS, CIA, Mossad, City of London, DC, Vatican and Israel as all being puppets of the PBI--Powers Behind Israel. So I think there is real change in the works, to a system that's dominated for the last 2000 yrs. But maybe you meant jamalh.
Hi Tereza, i meant you. I didn't realise that it was the PBI that was behind it all. Israel hasn't existed for 2000 yrs though, perhaps it should be Zionism PBZ.
Yes Israel is going to fall and possibly the US Empire, and it's neoliberal neocolonialism: the real scourge, with it, but thanks to the axis of resistance and BRICS.
By the PBI, I mean those who created the myth of Yahweh, not those who fell for it, which has changed over the millennia. I was writing this morning that their formula has been theocracy, taxation, lording the land, and pimping their women to royals in order to puppet-rule through offspring. That's existed for over 2000 yrs.
What Putin said in St. Petersburg is somehow relativized by the very nature of the SPIEF, which is a sort of Eastern counterpart of the World Economic Forum of Davos.
Let us not forget that the Globalists have planned their project over a very long time scale, not years or decades, but centuries. "Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the line from which we cannot deviate without running the risk of seeing the labour of many centuries brought to naught" (P.1).
Russia has been taken over by the Globalists with the Bolshevik revolution and has definitively remained under their grip ever since. Other revolutions have also brought the same result. It was Yeltsin, a communist puppet, who first selected Putin to become prime minister, before he became president.
I am also enclined to think that the OWGists are invincible on their own ground as they control the roots of all governments and institutions, including religious ones. The only alternatives that seem to make sense to me are those proposing to create a sort of parallel world where we rebuild a sound human community outside the globalist slavery system, like the "One Small Town" project that was proposed by M. Tellinger some years ago:
Yes, I've written about the Bolsheviks and about Yeltsin choosing Putin. You may be right and, I don't know where you live, but for those of us in NATO/US countries, it doesn't really matter--the BRICS won't save us in any case. Your solution is the one I propose in my book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Dismantle-Empire-2020-Vision/dp/1733347607.
Suits above are dedicated to my late wife, who grew up in Hollywood with a father who was Director of Photography on a variety of movies and who was friends with a guy the family called Uncle Jack. The way Barbara told it, Uncle Jack had a lab at JPL and one time, as a teenager, after she bid and made a grand slam in bridge, took her to task for doing it the wrong way. Very fussy, Uncle Jack was, and after Barb died and I was exposed to some underlit history, it occurs to me that Uncle Jack was Jack Parsons. Small world and stranger by the hour.
You always have a card up your sleeve! Linda Ronstadt, so young and what a voice! My ex BiL's (now deceased) claim to fame was that he'd had one date with Linda, back when they were in HS together. His later wife had relatives in the Tucson police dept where they would get invited to the Ronstadt's at Christmas and other parties. Apparently the whole family sang. And were all cops.
And those are two dames who've aged well, Joan & Judy.
I had to look up Jack Parson's--"Jet Propelled Anti-Christ!" I only think he should have kept his name as Marvel.
I have downloaded a couple books about Parsons but haven't started them...also, there are two seasons of a TV series called Strange Angel about Parsons' career in LA which I have 'in the can' but haven't gotten around to watching. My wife never had any stories about Uncle Jack behaving badly, but did have a couple of bits of fairly innocuous gossip. She said that every few weeks Parsons' secretary had to drive out to where Parsons had run out of gas on his drive home after work...distracted and otherly focused kind of guy.
The idea that Russia is winning the war, or at least trying to do so, is somewhat controversial among Russians themselves. Edward Slavsquat writes about this from time to time on his Substack, by quoting a wide variety of sources inside Russia. Russians also seem to have a dim view of popular American pundits (e.g., Scott Ritter) writing about Russia from outside the country. I have no position on this, except to note that the situation may be more complicated than we can see from here in the Home of the Brave.
Yes I deliberated over that word 'win'. Does anyone win a war? I tried to hedge it with the Special Military Operation. Their objective in protecting their border from NATO encroachment and protecting the ethnic Russians in the Donbass and Crimea seems like it's been done. The US/ Biden camp still won't allow any real negotiation so prolonging the conflict, at the expense of Russian lives but far, far more Ukrainians not even looking at the proportions, is the US goal. Until Trump steps in and then he'll hang Z out to dry and focus on Israel's atrocities.
I've read Edward. I don't necessarily think that someone knows more because they live somewhere--think of all the people in the US who could speak authoritatively. I LIKE Edward, and his dogs, he's very charming. The person I've found with the most detailed info on military movements is Oliver B-B, who gets a lot from Dima, I'm not sure who or what that is.
Scott's analysis of US military policy seems right up his alley, and fits logically with everything else. And the Russian nuclear policy I've read from many sources--it's easy to find the originals. It's definitely something I'm learning a lot about. Thanks for responding, Mark!
When Edward writes about the war, he generally quotes other sources without much commentary. Those sources range from old-guard communists to orthodox Christians.
About "winning": plenty of Russians are appalled at the war and wish it hadn't happened, and think that something that kills so many people on both sides isn't a "win". Others, the so-called patriots, think Putin is doing a terrible job and doesn't seem serious about ending the conflict quickly.
Agreed about the US. We started this mess with our interference in Ukraine and our push to put nukes on Russian's border. and continued it with our refusal to use diplomacy. Amazing that the guy you talked with on the plane had never heard of Nuland.
:-) Wars, including current war in Ukraine, are multidimensional.
One way to see through the fog of war is to zoom back and consider the overall picture and state undisputable facts, then reach a conclusion:
Militarily:
- NATO is running out of weapons to supply Ukraine
- The battlefield has proven superiority of Russian weapons systems.
- Russian aerial defense and Electronic Warfare systems have proved to be unparalleled.
- Russia's MIC is churning weapon systems more than the combined NATO countries.
Diplomatic: Russia standing in the Global Majority has skyrocketed. Heck even the Taliban who were created by the CIA as "Freedom Fighters" are now seeking cooperation with Russia and want to join the BRICS,.
Economic: Russia's economy is booming, unemployment is at an all time low, as a matter of fact it suffers from a shortage of labor. All NATO economies are in recession. True the U.S. publishes "positive growth", but this growth is less than the debt the government is pumping into the economy lol lol. Real wages in Russia have increased by over 8%, particular beneficiaries are the low income groups NOT the millionaires and billionaires. Industrial and agricultural sectors growth has hit all time records.
Suffice from the above to figure our who is "winning".
the best part is that % increase in income is greatest for the low income groups, thereby reducing the disparity in incomes, which is the exact opposite of neoliberal economies. The reason being that growth in employment are in the industrial sector.
The same happened in the US between end of WWII and 1975

Everyone is a victim - unless you belong to the ruling class.
Definitely designed to terrorize someone but not us, imo. Not because we're fearless but because we're oblivious. If it doesn't effect us, people don't care. Malone is ranting about 5th gen warfare with every person who criticizes him, Lebanese are having their hips blown apart.
Agreed on the GAP and CORE map, and that everyone is a victim--I might even include the ruling class. This scheme was designed generations prior to them and I still think it's possible they've all be traumatized into going along with it and keeping quiet.
I agree with you on partially but not fully agreeing with the "everything is a global psyop" POV.
Well no.... me neither! It is rather difficult to express other people's points of view especially when you don't accept them.
I think DJT is the anointed one as well. They have their pony and are betting on it.
Yes and Isaac certainly showed us the alignment of those stars--real or fake.
I'm heading back to SC in a few moments. Glad to have been in Cumberland, and I'll be posting about it, and glad to be getting back home.
Great! Looking forward to an email for the Amy - Tsquared collab! 👏:) safe travels!

Excellent post today,Tereza.
No matter who wins the election, we lose.
In the long run of this Presidental race the sacred pig called Israel is not talked about.
So glad you did.
And I ain't putting no lipstick on that pig. Thank you Darkstar!
