3%-4% of Catholic priest were involved in child sex abuse. ~10% of public school teachers were as well. Compare those egregious figure with ~99% of American doctors lied about covid or remained silent while others lied or never did the research needed to understand covid

~ ABN ~ 1 Comment

The doctors were first victims of infiltration and takeover of their medical boards, educational institutions, and government agencies. To speak up or not lie might cause loss of license. For doctors to not even research covid avoids these problems while also affording them immoral ignorance and immoral presumption of ethical decency.

Corruption, misbehavior, human weakness are generally endemic in human institutions as we can see with the abuse of children in churches, schools, Boy Scouts, and more. But only asymmetric warfare can explain what happened to our medical professionals. Their fears were real, their reactions preprogrammed. Over the years they have been selected for aversion to independent thinking, honesty, moral rectitude. The result was hundreds of thousands of Americans died needlessly due to non-treatment and maltreatment.

Consider how serious this is and was. Then consider how the medical profession was taken over, by what forces and for what reasons. This is a glaring, obvious example of how and why USA is in precipitous decline and getting worse every day. Virtually all of our institutions have been similarly infiltrated and are now controlled by nefarious actors, enemy forces. ABN

Mere Facts & Data Do Not Constitute Knowledge

Years ago I was asked to develop and lead a plan targeting acquisition of a marine and boating consumer products company. During the discovery process I flew to Manhattan in order to interview the senior executives about the overall business state and direction. Being an avid sloop sailor, I was rather excited about the chance to speak with the developers of some of the key equipment I employed on my boat.

When I arrived at the intended conference room and began to speak with the C-level executives prior to the meeting start, it became clear that none of them bore experience in boating, nor afloat work or recreation at all.

Panpsychism, pansignaling, and Buddhism

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Panpsychism means “all mind” or mind in all things, with an emphasis on cognition being a fundamental aspect or part of nature.

Pansignaling means “all signaling” or signaling in all things, with an emphasis on signaling being a fundamental aspect or part of nature.

I like the term pansignaling because it gets us to look at the signals, without which there is nothing.

Another word that is close to these two is panexperientialism, which connotes that “the fundamental elements of the universe are ‘occasions of experience’ which can together create something as complex as a human being.”

These ideas or similar can be found in the Huayan and Tiantai schools of Buddhism.

Highly recommend giving these ideas some thought and reading the links provided above.

I  tend to favor thinking of this stuff from the signaling point of view. A signal can be found, defined, analyzed, and so on. A signal is a fairly objective thing. When we consider signals and consciousness, it is very natural to consider that signals are parts of networks and that networks can be parts of bigger networks.

As I understand it, panexperientialism holds the view that atoms have experience, and that molecules have experience as do the atoms that make them up… and so on till we get to cells, organs, brains, human consciousness. Human consciousness, which is fundamentally experiential, is what humans mainly think of as experience. At all levels, the “parts” of human consciousness also are conscious or cognizant and thus capable of experience. Thus, there is no mind-body problem. Cognition or awareness is part of nature from the very bottom up. For example, a single bacterium can know to move toward something or away from it.

Life is “anti-entropic signaling networks” that organize, self-organize, combine, cooperate, compete, eat, and change constantly. From this, we can see where impermanence and delusion as described in Buddhism come from.

When matter breaks down into waves and laws, it becomes information, but similar processes are still at work. In Buddhist terms we find again dependent origination, no intrinsic self separate from other information, impermanence, rational structure, karma (the work of this producing that), the primary consciousness found in deep samadhi.

“How a chaos maximization strategy serves US interests”

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

I wrote this a few years ago but people still aren't aware of how a chaos maximization strategy serves US interests. People like to compare US hegemony to late imperial Rome but aren't cognizant of the fact that once Rome no longer had the strength to enforce the Roman peace or

Roman law, that didn’t mean it no longer had the strength to create Roman disorder. The strategic policy of the Eastern Roman empire along frontiers it could no longer govern was to make them ungovernable so no one could. Once the US can longer be the city on a golden hill,

it will not fade quietly but instead seek to be king of the dung heap. What this means in practice is taking advantage of it’s relatively secure and isolated geostrategic position and creating bush fires across the rest of the world for others so that it itself is viewed as an oasis

of stability and security in comparison so that financial flows can be redirected to itself from the rest of the world. Once you move from a win-win game to a lose-lose game, the strategy becomes to make sure that others lose more in relative terms than yourself. It is why the US

is undermining the international system it publicly espouses to uphold and why it's immediate satrapies are being put to the torch first. There are of course ways to strike back at the US strategy here, but none of them are particularly pleasant and beyond the mental blocks of

people who cling to Liberalism or even just basic decency.

“Evidence currently points to a Ukrainian strike because…”

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

[Most likely conclusion is “technical malfunction” of Ukrainian strike. Less likely, deliberate Ukrainian false flag. The analysis below is worth reading. ABN]

#KRAMATORSK – A lot of debate about responsibility for the tragedy. My earlier Tweet was published after referring to several sources – Russian, Ukrainian and US – and based on the best possible information available. That evidence currently points to a Ukrainian strike because…

1. The trajectory of the missile. A missile’s tail falls before the head, therefore it is possible to project the trajectory of the missile, which I illustrate below. The rocket approached #Kramatorsk from slightly south of west. That area is under full control of the UAF.

How a false hydroxychloroquine narrative was created, and much more: Dr Meryl Nass

~ ABN ~ 1 Comment

This is the most important article I ever wrote, as it is key to understanding the past two years. I began it in May 2020 and kept adding items.

It is remarkable that a large series of events taking place over the past months produced a unified message about hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and produced similar policies about the drug in the US, Canada, Australia, NZ and western Europe.  The message is that generic, inexpensive hydroxychloroquine (costing only $1.00 to produce a full course) is dangerous and should not be used to treat a potentially fatal disease, Covid-19, for which there are no (other) reliable treatments.

This is a well-researched analysis of the disinformation targeting HCQ during the covid treatment travesty. ABN
