"The Very Straight and the Very Narrow"

"The Very Straight and the Very Narrow"

by Todd Hayen

"I see a lot of young people in my practice. You know, the kids just out of university and setting out to make their mark in the world. They seem to have a very narrow focus. Get through school and training as effortlessly as possible, find a career that pays really well with little hard work required, and walk as narrow a line as possible by avoiding anything that isn’t part of the mainstream.

I remember when I was a young person (a million years ago), it was simply not like that. Sure, people have wanted money for a long time, but it did not seem to be the primary focus with myself or my peers. Now, granted, I went to a music university, and most musicians were aware they were following their artistic passion, not embarking on a career of monetary bliss. But still, we were all more interested in enjoying our lives through a meaningful pursuit rather than one made only of money.

Obviously, we didn’t care much for walking a straight and narrow line back in the ‘70s. We had just emerged from the chaotic ‘60s and still carried a bit of that “live life free” vibe with us. The Vietnam War was ending, so at least the young men of my early adult era felt that the future ahead held more opportunities for pursuing passions—which were typically not focused on getting filthy rich.

The school years, too, were not filled with searching for easy courses (now called “bird courses”); most of us actually wanted to learn something. Sure, a good grade was a nice thing, but we were not willing to sacrifice an opportunity to actually strengthen our skill set for an easy high grade. Maybe I am only speaking for myself here, but it did seem like different times than now.

Career choices also had nothing to do with how easy the work would be. It had little to do with looking for a career that would require a minimum amount of daily effort - with the hope of getting home early so we could party until the wee hours of the morning, drinking, snorting, and smoking whatever we could get our hands on in order to reach that continual high.

What is going on today always reminds me of the culture in Aldous Huxley’s "Brave New World", with the population persistently high on “Soma,” anesthetized from the emotional and physical tribulations encountered in a normal human life. Of course, this bleak observation doesn’t accurately describe everyone. There are still kids today who possess and are in touch with their soul. Kids who want to pursue lives with meaning and purpose. It just seems less of a thing you see day to day than it used to be.

Today, there are formulas to follow. Go to school, get a required degree that leads you to a high-performance, highly paid career. Go to law school, medical school, dentistry school, pharmacology school, or maybe even an MBA so you can pursue business. Get on track, reap the rewards of staying on track. Buy a house, buy a few cars, and keep the blinders on so nothing distracts you from the formula. Walk the straight and narrow.

Sure, there have always been similar formulas. And even today, as it was in the past, not everyone can get on these high-performance tracks. If you are trying to get through high school or even college or university without working too hard, a lot of these tracks will not be available to you. It still takes smarts, and difficult tests to assess those smarts, to be a lawyer or a doctor (someday I suspect all of that will be thrown to the wayside to avoid upsetting people, ala the story in the brilliant book "Mania").

Then there are all those who don’t make the grade. Those who crap out in high school, don’t go to college or University, and just mill around trying to figure out how they are going to get rich. Ironically, this is where you may find the kids who truly think and actually end up doing something useful - entering the trades for an enjoyable life of good hard work, creating a family, and finding meaning during their time on earth. But here you will also find the ones who turn to drugs, or crime, or just disappear into the dark and dirty fabric of society. (You certainly find this as well in the money-hungry ambitious bunch.)

Again, in my day, we had these, too. But usually for different reasons. Most of the kids in my time were focused on making something of their lives other than money. They wanted to be great artists, teachers, great parents, or in some way contribute to the world and to society with their contributions to science, medicine, justice, or business.

Few people I see now in my practice seem to care about any of that. Few young people I see appear to care even about sex or the pursuit of a meaningful relationship. Some do, but not like it used to be. Speaking of sex, there appears to be a strange perception of the sexual encounter today. I would have to devote a whole article (or book!) to this topic to give it justice. Sex and sexual attraction today looks to be only about an ego drive to “look appealing” - if I can attract you by being visually and sexually appealing, then I have control over you. It seems to be more of a power play and to be entirely self-serving and narcissistic.

The ”straight and narrow” path pushes out anything contrary to mainstream thought. Nothing is entertained if it doesn’t fit the formula for societal and monetary success. This simply is not natural, but is a brainwashed outcome to stay “normal” (as the agenda driven culture defines “normal”), so society does not shun you. Walking this myopic path also dismisses other people encountered who may be pursuing something differently than the all-powerful buck. There appears to be much less tolerance for the artists, musicians, and philosophical thinkers. Folks on the straight and narrow path may be interested in celebrity (“artists” who make a lot of money with their “art”), but gone is the reverence for true artists - such as the jazz musician, or the creator of amazing images on canvas with actual paint, to name just a few.

I am continually astonished at how myopic most of the young people I see in my practice are—how uninterested they are in what is happening in the world, but also how uninterested they are in more noble pursuits such as care for animals and/or the environment, esoteric interests such as religion and spirituality, artistic interests such as music or art, philanthropic pursuits, or in any sort of engagement with passions for passion’s sake rather than for money’s sake.

Strangely enough, it seems certain pursuits, such as gender identification that is contrary to biology, would not fit the “straight and narrow.” And maybe it doesn’t, but instead is a strange, contorted desire to buck the system and move contrary to norms. Obviously, if so, this is not a healthy way to do that. The trans phenomenon is unique, and I believe it is still agenda-driven, but is a combination of psychological pathology, hormones in the food we eat, the effects of psychotropic drugs, and social contagion.

In the end, today’s youth seem to chase a script - degree, dollars, done - sticking to the straight and narrow like it’s a GPS route to success. Gone are the days of my youth, where we zigzagged through life, chasing passions over paychecks, art over algorithms. Sure, some still seek meaning, but they’re drowned out by the hum of formulas and filtered selfies. It’s less Huxley’s Soma-soaked dystopia and more a self-imposed cage of “normal.” Here’s hoping a few more dare to stray, to scribble outside the lines, and rediscover the messy, marvelous chaos of a life less ordinary."

"Teenagers Must Be Warned About The Dystopia Being Built Around Them"

"Teenagers Must Be Warned About 

The Dystopia Being Built Around Them"

by Tyler Durden

"The following is the introduction to Mike Fairclough’s new book "2030" – a dystopian novel aimed at teenagers.

"I want to speak to you directly, before the story begins. When I was your age, the books we studied at school were dangerous in the best sense of the word. We read George Orwell’s "Animal Farm" and "1984." We read William Golding’s "Lord of the Flies." We were exposed to stories of mythological heroes – ordinary men and women who faced extraordinary challenges. These books didn’t come with ‘trigger warnings’. They weren’t wrapped in cotton wool. They were meant to disturb, to challenge, to wake you up.

I grew up in a time when boys were boys and girls were girls. Our fathers, and our grandfathers before them, had fought in wars or been raised in the shadow of those who did. They taught us grit, resilience, and the courage to stand up when something was wrong.

We were also raised with pride in our British heritage. Our history, our culture, our traditions and our flag were things to respect, not to be ashamed of. We learned that our nation had stood up against tyranny, twice, and paid the price in blood. We sang songs that carried our past. We flew the Union Jack as a symbol of unity, freedom and identity.

Today, children and young people are told to see their history not as a source of pride or strength, but as a catalogue of guilt. They are taught that the victories of their ancestors were crimes, that courage was cruelty and that sacrifice was oppression. They are urged to turn away from their heritage, to treat their own flag as a symbol of shame, and to believe that the culture which once defended freedom is now too offensive to exist.

Much of what shaped us has been stolen from you. Books that once inspired rebellion are now treated as dangerous objects. Classrooms have become indoctrination centres. Children are drilled to fear the weather, to doubt their own identity, to repeat slogans about ‘inclusion’ while real truth is erased. Men are called ‘toxic’ simply for being men. Women are told that men can be women and therefore women are redundant.

I spent many years as the headmaster of a school, and almost 30 years teaching within the English education system. I am now the author of books, an editor, a ghostwriter and a campaigner for freedom. I have lost count of the number of parents who have said to me, 'Write something for our children, something that tells the truth.' That is why I have written 2030.

Make no mistake, this book is not pure fiction. It is a prophecy. If we do nothing, if we stay silent, if we accept every slogan and every fear they press upon us, then 2030 will not be a story. It will be your future. Adults may deny this, but the task of resistance will fall to the young. To you. So read carefully. Remember what has been erased. And when the time comes for you to stand, take your decision with conviction and purpose. Because if you do not stand, nobody else will.

A Note on Style: As a headmaster, my approach to education was celebrated internationally. It was rooted in something called character education, a philosophy in which young people were expected to move beyond their comfort zones. I saw children thrive when they lit fires in sub-zero temperatures, fired shotguns with steady hands, camped under the stars and faced personal challenges that demanded grit. Those experiences expanded them. They forged strength. They forged resilience.

This book has been written with the same spirit. You are about to enter a dystopian world. It is deliberately crafted to feel that way. The early chapters may feel like a grind, heavy, relentless. That is intentional. This is not TikTok with its quick dopamine hits, nor a Hollywood blockbuster that begins with explosions. This story asks for your focus, your stamina. The hardest journeys are the ones that change us most deeply. And while the opening chapters set the weight of this world, know that the journey does not remain there. The path widens, the pace quickens, and what follows will reward your perseverance.

"2030" is not an ordinary book. You will discover, as you read, that you are not simply an observer. You are a participant. This story is rooted in truth. You, the reader, have the most important role to play. So buckle up. Stay with me. Let us step together into 2030. Because until you realize you are sleepwalking into dystopia, you cannot begin to unlock the prison door. And when that moment comes, you will discover just how powerful you truly are.

Chapter 1: The Digital Prison: George woke to silence. Not the silence of peace, but the heavy, engineered quiet of a world with no birdsong, no traffic, no laughter. The Council had found ways to mute even the dawn. His room was the same as every other room, square walls, pale light, a bed without softness. A clock blinked on the wall, but its hands did not tick. Time was measured now in doses and data, not in minutes and hours.

He sat up slowly, pressing his palms against his eyes. The same dream again, a sound he could not place, a ripple of joy, a child’s laugh that did not belong in this world. He tried to catch it, to hold it in his memory, but it slipped away like water through his fingers.

The World Safety Council called these fragments ‘spikes’. Citizens were taught to report them immediately, to present themselves for correction. But George had learned to keep his silence. To carry the spike quietly. To let it burn like a secret fire.

Today would be no different. He would dress in the World Safety Council’s uniform, walk the Council’s streets, speak the Council’s words. But deep inside, he carried something the injections and lessons had never erased. A trace of another life. A whisper that the world had once been more than this. And the walls, though he did not yet know it, remembered too."

"How It Really Is"

 

John Wilder, "Fear: Don't"

"Fear: Don't"

by John Wilder

"I've posted about the looming Civil War 2.0. It’s a topic that’s important, and one that will define whatever rises from the ashes of USA 6.0. I’m calling it USA 6.0 because I number them this way:

1.The Colonies (before 1776),

2. The Confederation (before 1788),

3. The Several States Constitutional Republic (before 1860),

4. The Single State (before 1913),

5. The Progressive Empire (before 1990), and

6. The GloboLeftistElite Playground (ongoing).

Your mileage may vary, but each of these incarnations was different, and each of them rose from the remnants of what had come before. It’s a pretty big and important topic.  I talked about how the unbridled “compassion” of the GloboLeftistElite was choking the United States pretty badly, and that, regardless of their intent, it was setting up a situation where the economy along with the culture is becoming pure Weimar. Never go pure Weimar.

It’s time to return to another frequently discussed topic: Attitude. If you are religious, the biggest goal of the Enemy is to create literal demoralization in both senses of the word – to cause you to lose hope fill you with despair, along with causing you to lose your morality. The second part is listed as an archaic part of the word, and that’s a shame.

If you’re not religious, don’t tune out – this applies to you, too. You don’t have to believe in Him for demoralization to be a huge danger. Deciding that nothing matters, or nihilism, is the gateway to deciding that anything is possible, and feeling despair is the gateway to nihilism. Capital E or small e, this is what the adversary wants. The reason that so much of the news media is set up the way it is, is to provide an echo chamber that makes us all feel alone. Think a baby born with XY chromosomes is a male?

That’s pretty much every sane person. But the GloboLeftElite want you to think that you’re alone in having these thoughts. They thrive on it. They depend on it. Why? Because if you feel alone, you’re subject to manipulation. Many people (women especially, because of the way that they’re innately wired), for instance, want to go along with the herd and believe what everyone else does, because to many, politics is just another form of fashion. If the cool people believe it, well, shouldn’t we all? I mean, the Europeans laughed at us for electing Trump!

So? It’s a perception that the GloboLeftElite is trying to create in our minds. The same way that Kamala had gone from one of the most unpopular politicians in recent American history to within cheating distance of taking the White House, the attitude that they want to instill in us is defeat.

And if we take that attitude, and accept it, we will lose. There is a reason that one of the most repeated admonitions in the Christian Bible is “Fear not”. Frank Herbert eloquently wrote this in Dune: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

I was an utter nerd in middle school, though I was also a noseguard so I never got picked on, and I had that passage memorized in seventh grade. It was true when Herbert wrote it, it was true when I first read it, and it’s true today: fear is certainly the worst emotion a human can have.

I firmly believe that the worst outcomes of my life are from those few times I gave counsel to my fears. Nothing good ever came of it except the deep understanding that nothing good ever comes from it. Now, when I cried, “Havok!” and let slip the dogs of war and gave it my all, even when everyone said that what I was about to do was impossible? Good times, man.

To be clear: we can’t lose. Really. I do understand and fully believe that we haven’t seen that darkest night, that time when we think that all hope is lost. It’s coming. And we’ll win. The reason I am certain comes from the understanding that, no matter what the Enemy (or enemy) has done, it has never, ever kept us down forever. I am not done.

I haven’t finished doing what I was put here to do. And if I do it, facing my fears directly, I know that I’m going to win. And I know that, over time, after heartache and after piles of skulls and blood. We win. It’s inevitable. And then, in some far distant future, we’ll have to fight again. But that’s another story."

The Poet: Robinson Jeffers, “Be Angry at the Sun”

“Be Angry at the Sun”

“That public men publish falsehoods

Is nothing new. That America must accept,

Like the historical republics corruption and empire

Has been known for years.

Be angry at the sun for setting

If these things anger you.

Watch the wheel slope and turn,

They are all bound on the wheel, these people,

Those warriors,

This republic, Europe, Asia.

Observe them gesticulating,

Observe them going down. The gang serves lies,

the passionate Man plays his part;

the cold passion for truth

Hunts in no pack.

You are not Catullus, you know,

To lampoon these crude sketches of Caesar. You are far

From Dante’s feet, but even farther from his dirty

Political hatreds.

Let boys want pleasure, and men

Struggle for power, and women perhaps for fame,

And the servile to serve a Leader and dupes

to be duped.

Yours is not theirs.”

- Robinson Jeffers, 1941

"Meaningful Warnings..."

“There are meaningful warnings which history gives a threatened or perishing society. Such are, for instance, the decadence of art, or a lack of great statesmen. There are open and evident warnings, too. The center of your democracy and of your culture is left without electric power for a few hours only, and all of a sudden crowds of American citizens start looting and creating havoc. The smooth surface film must be very thin, then, the social system quite unstable and unhealthy. But the fight for our planet, physical and spiritual, a fight of cosmic proportions, is not a vague matter of the future; it has already started. The forces of Evil have begun their offensive; you can feel their pressure, and yet your screens and publications are full of prescribed smiles and raised glasses. What is the joy about?”

- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

"Looking for a Reason to Believe: The Benefit of the Doubt Is Cracking"

"Looking for a Reason to Believe: 

The Benefit of the Doubt Is Cracking"

by Paul Rosenberg

"Those of us who pursue positive change are very often frustrated. We see the necessity of change all too clearly, and we can explain how it should come about, but it never seems to happen. The truth, however, is that change does come; it just comes more slowly than we’d like, and in ways that differ from those we imagined.

One real change I like to point out is the passing of blind trust in politicians. In the 1950s and ‘60s, most people spoke of politicians with respect and even with reverence. Now it’s almost standard for people to agree that they’re liars and thieves. That’s a very significant change, even if it did take several decades to unfold. So, a significant change has occurred in our time, and over a very broad base. Still, most people are hanging on, often desperately, to old ways that should really be abandoned.

The Automatic Benefit of the Doubt: It’s a bit troubling to see how blindly, and for how long, people give the benefit of the doubt to hierarchy and its operators. They can know that a system is abusing them, and they can complain about it at length, but still they grasp at reasons to keep believing in it. Here’s what I mean:

• During the bad spots of the Middle Ages, people would be abused by the clergy but say, “If only His Holiness knew!”

• During the reign of the USSR, people in the Gulag would often say, “If only Stalin knew!”

•In our time, people hold Political Party A or Political Party B as grave evils, while pretending that the combination of A + B is good and noble.

Still, such blind biases do eventually break. Stalin, after all, is gone, along with his USSR. The Protestant reformation broke the domination of the Church. And the delusions of our time will die as well.

“Still, I Look to Find a Reason to Believe”: If there were such a competition, I’d nominate Rod Stewart’s song, "Reason To Believe," as the Anthem of the Age. Regardless of how badly they are abused, people have a very hard time letting go of their hierarchies; they’ve taken emotional refuge in them, after all. Even when sharp pain forces them to examine the hierarchy that constantly tells them, “Obey or we’ll hurt you,” the impulse to maintain belief erupts. Here’s how the song expresses it:

"If I listened long enough to you,

I’d find a way to believe that it’s all true.

Knowing that you lied,

straight-faced while I cried.

Still I look to find a reason to believe."

Humans have a real problem with that last line: looking for reasons to believe. It flies in the face of both logic and honesty, nonetheless people do it and defend it. As for specific reasons to believe, they’re endless. Seldom are humans quicker and cleverer than when justifying their previous actions.

Why This Is a Good Sign: When people are desperately grasping for reasons to believe, it’s because the benefit of the doubt is cracking beneath them. Otherwise, why would they fight so wildly? The circumstances of our modern world are propelling people toward this break. Every time a ruling system tells gigantic lies, censors the public square, surveils their own people and bludgeons them with social pressure, belief in their system cracks a little.

More and more people are conceding that it’s not just “one bad actor” here or there, but that Joe Stalin really is evil, that the clergy really is corrupt, and that hierarchies are abusive by nature. The whirlwind of distractions and slogans arrayed against moral clarity are losing their effectiveness. Little by little, humanity’s blind devotion to authority is cracking. Someday it will break."

Rod Stewart, "Reason To Believe"

"Twilight of the Psychopaths"

"Twilight of the Psychopaths"
by Dr. Kevin Barrett

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

"When Gandhi was asked his opinion of Western civilization he said it would be a good idea. But that oft-cited quote is misleading, assuming as it does that civilization is an unmitigated blessing. Civilized people, we are told, live peacefully and cooperatively with their fellows, sharing the necessary labour in order to obtain the leisure to develop arts and sciences. And while that would be a good idea, it is not a good description of what has been going on in the so-called advanced cultures during the past 8,000 years. Civilization, as we know it, is largely the creation of psychopaths. All civilizations, our own included, have been based on slavery and "warfare." Incidentally, the latter term is a euphemism for mass murder.

Psychopaths have played a disproportionate role in the development of civilization, because they are hard-wired to lie, kill, injure, and generally inflict great suffering on other humans without feeling any remorse. The inventor of civilization - the first tribal chieftain who successfully brainwashed an army of controlled mass murderers- was almost certainly a genetic psychopath. Since that momentous discovery, psychopaths have enjoyed a significant advantage over non- psychopaths in the struggle for power in civilizational hierarchies - especially military hierarchies. Military institutions are tailor-made for psychopathic killers. The 5% or so of human males who feel no remorse about killing their fellow human beings make the best soldiers. And the 95% who are extremely reluctant to kill make terrible soldiers - unless they are brainwashed with highly sophisticated modern techniques that turn them (temporarily it is hoped) into functional psychopaths.

In "On Killing", Lt. Col. Dave Grossman (full text at the link) has re-written military history, to highlight what other histories hide: The fact that military science is less about strategy and technology, than about overcoming the instinctive human reluctance to kill members of our own species. The true "Revolution in Military Affairs" was not Donald Rumsfeld's move to high-tech in 2001, but Brigadier Gen. S.L.A. Marshall's discovery in the 1940s that only 15-20% of World War II soldiers along the line of fire would use their weapons: "Those (80-85%) who did not fire did not run or hide (in many cases they were willing to risk great danger to rescue comrades, get ammunition, or run messages), but they simply would not fire their weapons at the enemy, even when faced with repeated waves of banzai charges."

Marshall's discovery and subsequent research, proved that in all previous wars, a tiny minority of soldiers - the 5% who are natural- born psychopaths, and perhaps a few temporarily-insane imitators- did almost all the killing. Normal men just went through the motions and, if at all possible, refused to take the life of an enemy soldier, even if that meant giving up their own. The implication: Wars are ritualized mass murders by psychopaths of non-psychopaths. (This cannot be good for humanity's genetic endowment!)

The implication, too frightening for even the likes of Marshall and Grossman to fully digest, was that the norms for soldiers' behavior in battle had been set by psychopaths. That meant that psychopaths were in control of the military as an institution. Worse, it meant that psychopaths were in control of society's perception of military affairs. Evidently, psychopaths exercised an enormous amount of power in seemingly sane, normal society.

How could that be? In "Political Ponerology," Andrzej Lobaczewski explains that clinical psychopaths enjoy advantages even in non-violent competitions to climb the ranks of social hierarchies. Because they can lie without remorse (and without the telltale physiological stress that is measured by lie detector tests) psychopaths can always say whatever is necessary to get what they want. In court, for example, psychopaths can tell extreme bald-faced lies in a plausible manner, while their sane opponents are handicapped by an emotional predisposition to remain within hailing distance of the truth. Too often, the judge or jury imagines that the truth must be somewhere in the middle, and then issues decisions that benefit the psychopath. As with judges and juries, so too with those charged with decisions concerning who to promote and who not to promote in corporate, military and governmental hierarchies. The result is that all hierarchies inevitably become top-heavy with psychopaths.

So-called conspiracy theorists, some of whom deserve the pejorative connotation of that much-abused term, often imagine that secret societies of Jews, Jesuits, bankers, communists, Bilderbergers, Muslim extremists, papists, and so on, are secretly controlling history, doing dastardly deeds, and/or threatening to take over the world. As a leading "conspiracy theorist" according to Wikipedia, I feel eminently qualified to offer an alternative conspiracy theory which, like the alternative conspiracy theory of 9/11, is both simpler and more accurate than the prevailing wisdom: The only conspiracy that matters is the conspiracy of the psychopaths against the rest of us.

Behind the apparent insanity of contemporary history, is the actual insanity of psychopaths fighting to preserve their disproportionate power. And as that power grows ever-more-threatened, the psychopaths grow ever-more-desperate. We are witnessing the apotheosis of the overworld- the criminal syndicate or overlapping set of syndicates that lurks above ordinary society and law just as the underworld lurks below it. In 9/11 and the 9/11 wars, we are seeing the final desperate power-grab or "endgame" of brutal, cunning gangs of CIA drug-runners and President-killers; money-laundering international bankers and their hit-men, economic and otherwise; corrupt military contractors and gung-ho generals; corporate predators and their political enablers; brainwashers and mind-rapists euphemistically known as psy-ops experts and PR specialists-in short, the whole sick crew of certifiable psychopaths running our so- called civilization. And they are running scared. It was their terror of losing control that they projected onto the rest of us by blowing up the Twin Towers and inciting temporary psychopathic terror-rage in the American public.

Why does the pathocracy fear it is losing control? Because it is threatened by the spread of knowledge. The greatest fear of any psychopath is of being found out. As George H. W. Bush said to journalist Sarah McClendon, December 1992, "If the people knew what we had done, they would chase us down the street and lynch us." His statement to McClendon should be taken seriously.

Psychopaths go through life knowing that they are completely different from other people. They quickly learn to hide their lack of empathy, while carefully studying others' emotions so as to mimic normalcy while cold-bloodedly manipulating the normals. This manipulation of shame has the added benefit of making psychopathic organizations effectively invisible to normal society. Despite easily available media reports, American voters in 2004 simply refused to see that the two major-party presidential candidates had lain naked in a coffin masturbating in front of older Bonesmen in order to gain admission to "Skull and Bones" and thus become members of the criminal overworld. 

Likewise, many Americans have long refused to see that hawkish elements of the overworld, operating through the CIA, had obviously been the murderers of JFK, MLK, RFK, JFK Jr., Malcolm X, ChÈ, AllendÈ, Wellstone, Lumumba, Aguilera, Diem, and countless other relatively non-psychopathic leaders. They refuse to see the continuing murders of millions of people around the world in what amounts to an American holocaust. They refuse to see the evidence that the psychopaths' guilds running America's most powerful institutions use the most horrific forms of sexualized abuse imaginable to induce multiple-personality-disorder in child victims, then use the resulting mind-control slaves as disposable drug-runners, prostitutes, Manchurian candidates, and even diplomatic envoys. And of course they refuse to see that 9/11 was a transparently obvious inside job, and that their own psychopath-dominated military-intelligence apparatus is behind almost every major terrorist outrage of recent decades.

All of this psychopathic behavior at the top of the social hierarchy is simply too shameful for ordinary people to see, so they avert their gaze, just as wives of husbands who are sexually abusing their children sometimes refuse to see what is happening in plain view. If deep, deep denial were a river in Egypt, American citizens' willful blindness would be more like the Marianas Trench.

Truly, we are witnessing the twilight of the psychopaths. Whether in their death throes they succeed in pulling down the curtain of eternal night on all of us, or whether we resist them and survive to see the dawn of a civilization worthy of the name, is the great decision in which all of us others, however humbly, are now participating.”

"The Lines Between Fact and Fiction Are Blurred... Here's Why You Should Question the Narrative"

"The Lines Between Fact and Fiction Are Blurred... 

Here's Why You Should Question the Narrative"

by Chris MacIntosh

"I believe we are at a critical juncture where it is imperative that we do NOT fall for the ruses being put in front of us. They are playing us. Almost everything in our news cycle is questionable. The lines between fact and fiction have become blurred. What our leaders and mainstream media peddle as the truth is often misinformation… and what is really the truth is smeared as misinformation. Furthermore, attention spans have narrowed so significantly that even when the truth is hard to cover up, the populace can be distracted with a barrage of information unrelated to the problematic topic. Who, for example, still asks the question: where is Epstein’s client list? It’s only a few weeks now since Trump was shot at and few care any longer.

In this never ending exhausting stream of "information," the brain tires and the default of emotions rises with logic taking a back door. It’s far easier to be emotional than logical. This plays into the hands of, in particular, our "elites" masquerading their greed as virtue.

Reality has been replaced by false messaging and imagery to such an extent that one cannot distinguish between fact and fiction. And as a result of this, everyone squabbles through the prism of their own confirmation biases and ideological impulses.

We are ruled by a nefarious group of individuals that have an unquenchable thirst for power, control, and money. They don’t care what they have to do to get it - and that includes tricking people into thinking they are the virtuous good guys who are here to keep us all safe. And tragically, millions of people are completely duped by this. What we have witnessed over the COVID response, the war in Ukraine, the Net-Zero agenda on climate change, and many other current issues is a movement of faux virtue that has been carefully crafted by corrupt politicians, messengers within legacy media outlets, greedy corporations, messiah delusional billionaires, and undemocratic technocrats to create the impression that they are the virtuous ones who are our friends.

These people are not our friends. Their primary objective is to hoodwink us into believing and complying to their virtue, but in reality, being tricked into giving away more freedoms, power, wealth, and assets to these virtue vultures.

The reality of all of this is that we are sleepwalking towards the biggest asset grab in the history of the planet. They are trying to destroy farms, land, businesses, freedoms, housing, individual wealth, travel, and own them or sell them off to the highest bidder. And at the same time, they are trying to ring-fence society into the entrapment of being controlled by data - either through health passports or the slow mission creep towards central banking digital currencies (CBDCs). It’s a giant asset grab of what we own and control. Of course, they frame all of this being in our best interests. But make no mistake - it’s the biggest swindle ever.

This gargantuan virtue con-trick also comes with a huge slice of authoritarianism. Anyone who sees through it, questions it, stands up to it, or shows opposition to it are immediately ridiculed and ostracised by the group-think mob.

Question the COVID response? You’re a "Covidiot."
Question the Ukraine war? Bugger off, you Putin apologist, you.
Question the Israeli war on the Palestinians? Antisemite!
Question Net-Zero? You must be a far right climate change denier!

This is gutter politics designed to shut down and undermine any opposition or questioning. It works if you allow them to emotionally engage you. Don’t fall for it! But not questioning the narrative is a huge form of denial. Because any government, technocrat, or institution that advocates medical discrimination, suppression of civil liberties and a transfer of wealth and public assets to the rich while the rest of society endures a cost of living crisis is not your friend.

Don’t be fooled by their virtue. It’s a giant con! In reality, they are indulging in a massive asset grab. They are treating the world as feudalism, but under the guise of "it’s for your own good" or "safety" faux virtue. A Machiavellian weapon that power hungry sociopaths use for control.

Fake virtue peddled by governments and authorities for mass compliance and social control is the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook. Don’t fall for it. Because when totalitarianism arrives, it will come cloaked in fake virtue. And now we have not only Venezuela, but Bangladesh, too, and this brings me to US foreign policy, which is a giant Ponzi scheme.

A Ponzi Scheme: Here’s how it works in six steps…

• Buy foreign leaders who are willing to sell out their people and grant cheap resources/labor to the Empire.

• If leaders refuse, sanction them and stoke political discontent, murdering thousands.

Use the result of crushing sanctions as "proof" their regimes are bad for their people.

• Fund fascist "revolutions" again and again and again, until a new leader emerges who will sell out their people to the Empire.

• In the meantime, this is funded by taxpayers in the Empire. Additionally, these parasites will take videos and photos of the dying impoverished people who are dying and being impoverished by the actions of these parasites… and beg you for charity to help these unfortunate people.

• Instigate proxy wars when any of the above doesn’t work. These proxy wars cause refugee crises flooding Western countries, which destroys the homogeneity of nation states, making them weaker.

• It is nothing but a hollow, superficial crime gang masquerading as a society that only cares about one thing: perpetually increasing its power and wealth, at the expense of all else."

"Antoine de Saint-Exupéry on How a Simple Human Smile Saved His Life"

"Antoine de Saint-Exupéry on 

How a Simple Human Smile Saved His Life"

by Maria Popova

"Though researchers since Darwin may have spent considerable effort on the science of smiles, at the heart of that simple human expression remains a metaphysical art - one captured nowhere more beautifully and grippingly than in a short account by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry(June 29, 1900–July 31, 1944), found in "Letter to a Hostage" (public library) - the same exquisite short memoir he began writing in December of 1940, a little more than two years before he created 'The Little Prince' on American soil, which also gave us his poignant reflection on what the Sahara desert teaches us about the meaning of life.

In a creative sandbox for what would become Saint-Exupéry’s most famous line in 'The Little Prince' - “What is essential is invisible to the eye.” - he writes:

"How does life construct those lines of force which make us alive?

[…]

Real miracles make little noise! Essential events are so simple!"

One such essential event in Saint-Exupéry’s life had to do with the mundane miracle of a simple smile, a gift he so poetically describes as “a certain miracle of the sun, which had taken so much trouble, for so many million years, to achieve, through ourselves, that quality of a smile which was pure success.” He once again channels the spirit of his famous Little Prince line and writes:

"The essential, most often, has no weight. The essential there, was apparently nothing but a smile. A smile is often the essential. One is paid with a smile. One is rewarded by a smile. And the quality of a smile might make one die."

Indeed, in a subsequent chapter, Saint-Exupéry recounts an incident that rendered a smile very much the difference between life and death - his life and death. One night during his time in Spain as a journalist reporting on the Civil War, he found himself with several revolver barrels pressed tightly into his stomach - the militia of the rebel forces had snuck up on him under the veil of the dark and captured him in “solemn silence,” staring at his tie - “such a luxury was not fashionable in an anarchist area” - rather than his face. He recounts:

"My skin tightened. I waited for the shot, for this was the time of quick trials. But there was no shot. After a complete blank of a few seconds, during which the shifts at work appeared to dance in another universe - a kind of dream ballet - my anarchists, slightly nodding their heads, bid me precede them, and we set off, without hurry, across the lines of junction. The capture had been done in perfect silence, with an extraordinary economy of movement. It was like a game of creatures of the ocean bed.

I soon descended to a basement transformed into a guard post. Badly lit by a poor oil lamp, some other militia were dozing, their guns between their legs. They exchanged a few words, in a neutral voice, with the men of my patrol. One of them searched me.

Saint-Exupéry didn’t speak Spanish, but understood enough Catalan to gather that his identity documents were being requested. He tried to communicate to his captors that he had left them at the hotel, that he was journalist, but they merely passed around his camera, yawning and expressionless. The atmosphere, to his surprise, wasn’t what one would expect of an anarchist militia camp:

"The dominant impression was that of boredom. Boredom and sleep. The power of concentration of these men seemed exhausted. I almost wished for a sign of hostility, as a human contact. But … they gazed at me without any reaction, as if they were looking at a Chinese fish in an aquarium.

(One has to wonder whether that desire for contact, whatever its nature or cost, might be a universality of the human condition - the same impulse that drives trolls to spew the venom of hostility as a desperate antidote to their own apathy and existential boredom. Aggression is, perhaps, the only form of contact of which they are capable, and yet it is contact they crave so compulsively.)

After a tortuous period of observing his captors wait for nothing in particular, Saint-Exupéry grew increasingly exasperated with a longing for contact, for the mere acknowledgement of his existence. He paints the backdrop of the miracle that would take place:

"In order to load myself with the weight of real presence, I felt a strange need to cry out something about myself, which would impose upon them the truth of my existence - my age for instance! That is impressive, the age of a man! That summarizes all his life. This maturity of his has taken a long time to achieve. It was grown through so many obstacles conquered, so many serious illnesses cured, so many griefs appeased, so many despairs overcome, so many dangers unconsciously passed. It has grown through so many desires, so many hopes, so many regrets, so many lapses, so much love. The age of a man, that represents a good load of experience and memories. In spite of decoys, jolts, and ruts, you have continued to plod like a horse drawing a cart."

Saint-Exupéry was thirty-seven at the time. But what happened next had nothing to do with the achievement of age, or the gravitas of maturity, or any other willful self-assertion. Instead, it was driven by the simplest, most profound form of shared humanity:

"Then the miracle happened. Oh! a very discreet miracle. I had no cigarette. As one of my guards was smoking, I asked him, by gesture, showing the vestige of a smile, if he would give me one. The man first stretched himself, slowly passed his hand across his brow, raised his eyes, no longer to my tie but to my face, and, to my great astonishment, he also attempted a smile. It was like the dawning of the day.

This miracle did not conclude the tragedy, it removed it altogether, as light does shadow. There had been no tragedy. This miracle altered nothing visible. The feeble oil lamp, the table scattered with papers, the men propped against the wall, the colors, the smell, everything remained unchanged. Yet everything was transformed in its very substance. That smile saved me. It was a sign just as final, as obvious in its future consequences, as unchangeable as the rising of the sun. It marked the beginning of a new era. Nothing had changed, everything was changed. The table scattered with papers became alive. The oil lamp became alive. The walls were alive. The boredom dripping from every lifeless thing in that cellar grew lighter as if by magic. It seemed that an invisible stream of blood had started flowing again, connecting all things in the same body, and restoring to them their significance.

The men had not moved either, but, though a minute earlier they had seemed to be farther away from me than an antediluvian species, now they grew into contemporary life. I had an extraordinary feeling of presence. That is it: of presence. And I was aware of a connection.

The boy who had smiled at me, and who, until a few minutes before, had been nothing but a function, a tool, a kind of monstrous insect, appeared now rather awkward, almost shy, of a wonderful shyness - that terrorist! He was no less a brute than any other. But the revelation of the man in him shed such a light upon his vulnerable side! We men assume haughty airs, but within the depth of our hearts, we know hesitation, doubt, grief. Nothing had yet been said. Yet everything was resolved."

Saint-Exupéry ends with a reflection on the sacred universality and life-giving force of that one simple gesture, the human smile: "Care granted to the sick, welcome offered to the banished, forgiveness itself are worth nothing without a smile enlightening the deed. We communicate in a smile beyond languages, classes, and parties. We are faithful members of the same church, you with your customs, I with mine."

Four years after he wrote 'Letter to a Hostage', which is a sublime read in its totality, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Bay of Biscay never to return. Popular legend has it that Horst Rippert, the German fighter pilot who shot down the author’s plane, broke down and wept upon hearing the news - Saint-Exupéry had been his favorite author. What a tragic form of contact, war."

"Scientists Just Detected a SECOND 3I/ATLAS -

 It's Not Alone Anymore!"

"Scientists have just made a stunning discovery - a second 3I/ATLAS object has been detected moving through our solar system! This new finding suggests the original interstellar object is not alone anymore, raising serious questions about what’s really entering our cosmic neighborhood.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• How astronomers confirmed the second 3I/ATLAS signature and its shocking trajectory.

• The eerie connection between both interstellar visitors.

• Why NASA and global observatories are staying unusually quiet about this discovery.

• The energy pulses detected near both objects that defy normal explanations.

• What this could mean for Earth and future cosmic events in the coming months.

Experts are calling it the most mysterious space discovery since Oumuamua - and it could change everything we know about what’s really out there."

A Summary Comment: So they've just discovered a second 3I/ATLAS, named 3I/ATLASII, identical in every way and entering the solar system on the exact same vector and speed, with unverified but strong indicators of 2 more identical objects incoming from further out. Additionally there are 9 objects around 3I/Atlas, in perfect formation alignment surrounding 3I/ATLAS, which may be a scout ship for a larger fleet arriving in strength. The 2 known 3I/ATLAS vessels will connect in the orbit space near Venus on November 1. If all are verified and have the same escorts we'd have 4 3I/ATLAS vessels and 36 escort vessels. Each of the escort objects generate 20 gigawatts of energy. The incoming enormous C/2025 R2 (SWAN) mothership is 100 times the size of I3/ATLAS, and is generating 10,000 gigawatts of energy. (Earth's total global nuclear power capacity totaled 396 gigawatts, with 439 reactors operating across over 30 countries as of July 2024. An Earthly nuclear power plant generates 1 gigattatt at full power.) As the astronomer/physicist Avi Loeb states, if 3I/ATLAS is the "scout" ship SWAN is the "fortress" mothership to which 3I/ATLAS is sending reports. My guess is that it was the sudden massive energy signatures of using the atomic bombs in the 1940's that caught their attention. Their purpose unknown, all conjecture at this point, but data repeatedly verified. What does all this mean for Humanity, for you and me? If Humanity has a future... We shall see... We can't fight, and there's nowhere to escape to. - CP

"I can never look now at the Milky Way without wondering from which of those banked clouds of stars the emissaries are coming. If you will pardon so commonplace a simile, we have set off the fire alarm and have nothing to do but to wait. I do not think we will have to wait for long." - Arthur C. Clarke, "The Sentinel"

Apparently our waiting is over...we are not alone.

"Kensington’s Last Cry: Fentanyl’s Deadly 

Grip on America’s Streets - Homeless in America"

by Daily Homeless News, 10/11/25

"Kensington, a neighborhood in Philadelphia once known for its working-class roots and community pride, has now become the epicenter of one of America’s most haunting crises. On its streets, fentanyl has unleashed devastation unlike anything seen before. People wander like shadows of their former selves, overdoses happen in plain sight, and entire blocks have been transformed into open-air drug scenes. This documentary takes you deep inside Kensington’s last cry, where the fentanyl epidemic and the homelessness crisis collide, raising a chilling question: is this the future for cities across the United States?

The tragedy unfolding in Kensington is not isolated. It is part of the larger story of homeless in america, where addiction, poverty, and broken systems push thousands onto the streets every year. In Philadelphia’s Kensington Avenue, you witness firsthand the impact of failed drug policies, a lack of affordable housing, and the growing despair that grips countless families. Each tent, each face, tells the story of dreams lost to fentanyl’s deadly grip.

But Kensington is more than just a warning. It is a mirror held up to the entire nation. From Los Angeles to New York, the same patterns are emerging: communities overwhelmed, emergency services stretched thin, and lives cut short too soon. Homeless in america is no longer a distant issue - it is visible in every corner, in every major city, and in towns that never expected to face such despair.

This documentary captures the raw and painful truth of Kensington’s streets, but also challenges viewers to reflect. Will America find the courage to address the roots of this crisis, or will we watch as fentanyl and homelessness redefine our future? The story of Kensington is a story of homeless in America, and it cannot be ignored any longer."

"A Look to the Heavens"

"A mere seven hundred light years from Earth, toward the constellation Aquarius, a sun-like star is dying. Its last few thousand years have produced the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293), a well studied and nearby example of a Planetary Nebula, typical of this final phase of stellar evolution. A total of 90 hours of exposure time have gone in to creating this expansive view of the nebula.

Combining narrow band image data from emission lines of hydrogen atoms in red and oxygen atoms in blue-green hues, it shows remarkable details of the Helix's brighter inner region about 3 light-years across. The white dot at the Helix's center is this Planetary Nebula's hot, central star. A simple looking nebula at first glance, the Helix is now understood to have a surprisingly complex geometry."
