In this effort, USA has the ironic advantage of coming from behind in many areas. This both forces and allows us to build with the newest and best. ABN
The entire Western world is ruled by a self-centered elite numbering but a few thousand. No one who is not either onboard with them or accepts being a servile toady to them (most politicians) ever gets anywhere near real political power, or honest social influence.
Historically, elites have always manufactured social and political ‘reality’. In today’s world many of their traditional tricks are not working as well as they did only ten years ago.
What’s changed today is social media, especially X, allows the honest voices of ordinary people to be heard.
Moreover, it is obvious to anyone paying attention that more voices and more information about anything actually results in better and truer information.
Crowds crowd-sourcing themselves have proved to be much more savvy than a few thousand elites, who all bow to a small handful of super-elites.
It is simply a fact that more information seen by more people who add yet more information yields better information. Bad info is quickly sifted out.
Elites fear open-ended information more than anything because it reveals how selfish, wrong, small-minded and crazy they are.
That said, not all elites are always bad.
The best of them understand what is happening with human information and information-sharing and what is feasible.
It seems clear to me right now that more than one battle is going on among them. ABN
While the streets of Belfast were ablaze with anti-immigration protests last week, behind the scenes a group of spies, spinners and soldiers were deploying the ‘dark arts’ to try to defuse tensions.
The name of the secretive Government propaganda unit trying to manipulate events makes it sound like an innocuous back-office operation – the Research, Information and Communications Unit, or RICU.
But the dull moniker is part of the deliberate camouflage of an outfit which uses deception and skulduggery to try to manage the ‘challenges’ of multiculturalism.
Its techniques range from planting stories in the media, using undercover operatives to lay flowers at the scene of terrorist attacks and even, in one case, sending a pop group to sing anti-extremist songs in Muslim schools.
Eva is among a group of popular influencers who claim not to understand why the invasion is happening or who is behind it. Tucker, Promethean and others speak in the same way. These are all good people who feel forced to evade censorship and a loss of followers, probably reasoning that a 90% complete voice that is heard by many is better than a 100% complete voice that is heard by only a few. I agree with their analysis. I am a 100% voice by choice. Throughout history empires (and we are living in the Western empire today) have always forced dissidents to use euphemisms or claim ignorance to avoid dangerous consequences. The more thing change the more they stay the same. It is important to understand that not all speakers can speak the whole truth in all situations. Similarly not all politicians (I mean the rare good ones) can do everything they want to do because the consequences will be counterproductive. I believe RFK is in this sort of a bind right now. Going forward, this feature of world history is unlikely to change. ABN
President Trump said that the US and Iran were still on track to sign a peace deal Sunday that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz — his 80th birthday — despite Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon that apparently infuriated Tehran.
Trump told Fox News’ Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst that he asked Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, “What the f— are you doing?” in response to the strikes.
Following the blunt call with the prime minister, Trump revealed that he planned to speak with Iranian officials and press them not to strike Israel in retaliation. He also predicted that the memorandum of understanding with Iran will get signed within the next two to three hours — or sometime late afternoon Sunday.
Large social systems, especially those with many members who do not know each other, tend to evolve into hierarchies because this reduces the number of connections required to establish communication.
When the number of connections which hold a group together is reduced, it is less costly to maintain the group and thus such groups are more likely to survive.
Military organizations, companies, religious organizations and schools are usually organized into hierarchical structures. Creative, independent modules can relieve some of the formalism of hierarchy but these modules will still fit into the hierarchical structure somewhere.
Hierarchies are (always?) organized around a purpose—money for corporations, winning for militaries, belief and organizational systems for religions, food for animals and so on.
A research project on this topic as it applies to artificial intelligence demonstrates that biological networks evolve into hierarchies:
If we accept this principle behind the development of hierarchies, I would submit that we can also apply it to how language has developed as a hierarchy in and of itself and also as a support system for the social hierarchy within which it is used.
Language and culture are held together by a system of hierarchical categories.
These categories are what we think of as beliefs, values, codes, stories, political systems, who’s who in the group, and so on.
Hierarchical systems based on general categories typically also exist between individuals within any society. Indeed, we can find the same sort of hierarchical system within the individual.
This is an efficient and very reasonable way to maintain a society and a language.
Problems arise in this system, however, when the individuals do not know any other way of organizing themselves or of communicating with others.
Individual who exist and communicates only within a hierarchical structure will be alienated from the great mass of idiosyncratic perceptions, responses, thoughts, and emotions which exist within them and others. I think this causes a great deal of psychological suffering and is a major part of what the Buddha meant by delusion.
It is the basis of enlightenment and the nexus of ultimate and relative realities.
The Buddha spoke of enlightenment only by saying what it is not.
Even when we consider moral acts with great care, we can never be entirely certain of our judgement because there is always more that we do not and cannot understand or know.
We can be cautiously certain only that we have tried or are trying to act morally.
Do we act as if in a role? Or do we act as if in a mind stream, a stream of karma?
God’s Will implies we have a role to play. What does a karmic mind stream imply? Are we attracted to the Tathāgata or not?
Over 70% of humanity underwent a chemical lobotomy masquerading as “vaccination.” This explains the widespread collapse of common sense, deterioration of cognitive function, and drastic personality distortions seen since 2021. Safety signals identified in our two peer-reviewed studies include:
PRION DISEASE — 847× more likely vs. flu shot
BRAIN CLOTS — 3,000× more likely
PSYCHOSIS — 440× more likely
HOMICIDAL IDEATION — 25× more likely
DEMENTIA — 140× more likely
SUICIDAL THOUGHTS — 150× more likely
SCHIZOPHRENIA — 315× more likely
DEPRESSION — 530× more likely
HERPES ZOSTER MENINGITIS — 1,200× more likely
TOXIC ENCEPHALOPATHY — 157× more likely
MENINGITIS (ALL TYPES) — 34× more likely
AUTOIMMUNE ENCEPHALITIS — 79× more likely
BRAIN ABSCESS — 120× more likely
SPINAL CORD ABSCESS — 89× more likely
VIOLENT BEHAVIOR — 80× more likely
COGNITIVE DECLINE — 115× more likely
DELUSIONS — 50× more likely
MYELITIS (ALL TYPES) — 31× more likely And many more…… The mRNA shots disrupt the blood–brain barrier, allowing mRNA, amyloidogenic spike proteins, and pathogens to penetrate the brain and spinal cord — an outcome consistent with the skyrocketing rates of cognitive decline now seen across the world.

I am seeing fairly widespread vax injury among people I know, and whom I know about through friends. It sounds so bad it’s hard to believe. But just as many people can enter early, and later stages of, dementia with little or no realization of what is happening, drug or surgically induced brain injuries can be inflicted without sufferers realizing that anything has happened to them at all. Mind-control poisons work in this way. They can be administered slowly (repeated shots or covert doses); or quickly as, in some cases, the type of drug or procedure, like lobotomy, may not be recognized by victims even though much of their intrinsic behavior has changed greatly. Rather than understand that they have been attacked, such victims may decide they are just getting old or losing it for some other reason, like a recent accident or drinking bout. Many people in the West have succumbed to weakened vitality and motivation due to clandestine poisoning and maiming by enemies of the West who are living among us and who often pose as friends. This explains the remarkably anemic response the West is evincing as it is slowly being methodically annihilated. ABN
…Nearly 30 years after the first reported sighting, folklore experts and paranormal researchers remain divided over whether the Black-Eyed Children are an internet legend or something more sinister.
Jason Offutt, a journalism professor at Northwest Missouri State University who has spent more than a decade researching the phenomenon, said one of the most striking aspects of the reports is how similar they remain regardless of where they originate.
‘I’ve talked to people from all across North America, talked to somebody from Portugal, England, Saudi Arabia, Australia – they’ve all had almost the exact same experience,’ Offutt told the Daily Mail.
According to Offutt, witnesses often describe two children appearing together, with one seeming slightly older and more confident than the other.
Many accounts describe pale youngsters with black eyes, outdated clothing, greasy hair, bad breath and unusually mature speech patterns.
‘They speak with confidence. They speak like they’re much older than they appear,’ Offutt said.
Witnesses who claim to have encountered the mysterious Black-Eyed Children often describe pale youngsters with completely black eyes who repeatedly ask to be let inside homes or vehicles
The laws of the physical universe—the ones we know—do not say much about the evolution of life. And they have even less to say about the evolution of human societies and human consciousness.
Good moral behavior is essential for the scientific method to work. If many scientists lie or cheat, we won’t get good science.
On the interpersonal level, FIML practice both requires and encourages moral behavior. At first, partners may only notice that they are required to tell the truth, but as they continue practicing, they will come to want to tell the truth.
This happens for very concrete, even objective, reasons. I know that if I don’t tell my partner the truth, we will both lose. And if I do tell her the truth, we will both gain.
Morality in FIML practice—i.e. telling the truth—is not difficult because the units of a FIML discussion are typically very small, usually entailing just a few seconds of conversation/communication. The payoff for telling the truth in FIML practice, however, is huge. Partners will notice profound and beneficial changes in all aspects of their psychologies. This happens because partners’ senses of who they are will shift from a core with a secretive ego to a core with an interactive truth-telling process. Clean, clear language and a clear conscience transform human being.
FIML may prove that morality is fundamental to human consciousness. This statement is not based on feeling or wishful thinking because you have to behave morally to do FIML at all. For individual psychology, the payoff from FIML can be greater than from science in many important areas.
