After a peaceful Pascha weekend, it is time to get back to work. But I can't remember having so much sense that something needs to change, fast. And then I stumbled upon this morning video by Neil Oliver in an exchange of ideas with Canadian journalist David Krayden about the state of the world. Yes, we need to be aware of the facts, but the dialogue proves how easy it is to talk ourselves into a depression. So we are not going to do that. Moreover, despair is a sin. Let's keep that in mind above all. But there are a few important things that need pointing out, because it is easy to make the same mistakes if your analysis is off by as much as a pip.
May 7, 2024 Neil Oliver Interviews David Krayden.
It is now beyond doubt that we are being manipulated and ruled over by a global cabal. In recent months we have become aware who these people are. We need not look any further than our own ruling elite who are of a generation that has grown up globalized.
These people have become attached at the hip. They attend the same international schools, colleges and universities. They marry each others sisters and all are employed by the same public/private multinational mega corporations. Some move on to politics, or are caught in the revolving door between politics and corporatism. They are able to control each other by leveraging youthful improprieties or even more serious transgressions.
It is a global, postmodern oligarchy. And if that is not enough, they see each other every other week or so during the hundreds of economic and political world forums on various subjects. It is no wonder they all think and talk the same. It is a closed clique on which outsiders and new ideas have no influence
On top of that they are influenced and advised by the same PR consultants who are constructing the manipulative narratives for them. The world of the media is also in their pocket. They are all members of the same multinational ruling class.
That alone would explain it. But that is not where it stops. Ever since Mike Benz, the Executive Director of the free speech watchdog, Foundation for Freedom Online (website) sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson, we have become aware of what he refers to as 'the blob'.
The blob is a multi million dollar censorship industry, spanning the military-industrial complex, Governments, the private sector, civil society organizations and the vast cob web of media allies and professional fact checker groups that serve as the sentinel class for surveying every word on the Internet.
Here we see the workings of afore mentioned revolving door phenomenon. At the time of the Trump presidency former employees of the State Department went to work at the Atlantic Council, a major facilitator between the US Government and censorship.
The Atlantic Council is NATO's political thinktank. When NATO has civil society actions that they coordinate, synchronized with military action, the Atlantic Council is deployed to build consensus and make that political action happen.
On the board of the Atlantic Council sit seven former CIA directors! It gets its funding from the State Dept., the Dept. of Defense and CIA cutouts like the National Endowment for Democracy. They pressure European countries to pass censorship laws to create 'transatlantic flank attacks' on free speech.
Initially these people were engaged in creating a censorship industrial complex, but as they are an outfit that is obsessed with power, they have now changed the definition of democracy itself and forgot to tell us about it. So they redefined democracy from being about the will of the voters, to being about the sanctity of democratic institutions. Benz:
"Who are that? Well, it's us, the military, NATO, it's the IMF and the World Bank, it's the mainstream media, it's the NGOs, all of the elite establishment under threat from the rise of domestic populism that declared their own consensus the new definition of democracy."
Benz continues. "Because if you define democracy as being the strength of democratic institutions rather than the will of the voters, what you are left with is essentially, democracy as just the consensus building architecture within the democratic institutions themselves.
Read the entire interview in "A Primer on the Global Mass Censoring Industry (link). So there's that, which is in and of itself enough to explain the global non conspiracy,
And then there are the captured institutions. We just mentioned a few. Just the other day we posted a story on the infiltration of religious organizations in "The Post Christian Agenda For the Orthodox" (link). We may only now learn about, but this is not new, not by a long chalk.
The war rhetoric is escalating by the day. The idea of the West going to war with Russia has now been normalized. At the height of the Cold War in the 60s of the last century at least politicians had common sense. We are now lumbered with a class of sociopathic narcissists that are willing to risk all out war because they want to get their hands on Russia's minerals.
This one gives me goosebumps.
I have seen it many times - if you need a proof that Putin isn´t bluffing then watch this video. pic.twitter.com/4apmhqjNuA
It is now clear that the narrative that "we have to defend freedom and democracy in Ukraine, is total nonsense thought up by PR consultant. Not only is Ukraine raping the very essence of democracy, the narrative in the West has now changed to "it's a good investment". Yes, this war is absolutely devoid of any morality. Entire generations of Ukrainians are ground to dust as Ukraine became a vassal state.
If the blob has its way Armenia is next on the list of former USSR states to fall for the Color Revolutionary playbook. Georgia is on the brink for a second round.
In the 70s Europeans took to the streets by the millions to protest against American cruise missiles. Where are these people now?
To the decadent operatives in the West this seems like a game. How wrong, stupid and arrogant they are to think that President Putin would play along. He did not grow up on their trans-corporate confabs. Putin is a serious man of real principles and lives in objective reality. He knows better than plying games over the backs of the Russian people.
Krayden is probably right where the nukes are concerned, but the direction of the West moving in the authoritarian direction is beyond any doubt at this point.
Oliver is correctly pointing out that the last seventy years or so have been an exception in historical terms, not the rule. Lack of freedom has been a feature in most of human history. Some commentators have observed that in medieval times at least absolute monarchs were so far removed from the lives of most people, that is was not hard escape them.
Oliver and Kraydon point the finger at the slippery slope of 'medically assisted euthanasia' into the abyss of nihilism without identifying abortion as the catalyst. That is where the devaluation of human life starts. Eugenics, transgenderism and transhumanism are all downstream from child sacrifice.
What most liberals of the type of Krayden and Oliver forget is that the two world wars and the horrors of totalitarian regimes for all sorts, together responsible for over 110 million dead, happened in the last century which was supposed to be the pinnacle of the Enlightenment. Many observers have noticed the discrepancy, but few had an explanation.
And then the C-flue hit and Belgian Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet wrote a book about, titled "The Psychology of Totalitarianism" (bookfinder). In the book he deconstructs societal conditions that allow collective psychosis. He identifies it as 'mass formation' made possible by the mechanistic, rationalistic world view on which the Enlightenment is based. It explains C-flue policies, but it also throws a light on other authoritarian developments.
According to the mechanistic world view, phenomena can be broken down into their constituent parts. The behavior of these parts can be explained through the laws of physics and chemistry. Complex systems, such as societies, can be understood by analyzing the interactions between their individual components, such as individuals, institutions, organizations, etc.
In the past we have posted extensively on part of that philosophy, nominalism, that denies the existence of essences. When you lump red apples and fire engines together because both are red, you might be dropping essences. You might laugh when postmodernists conduct such assaults on logic, but the dropping of essences can become a lot more pernicious than the obvious.
(As an interesting point aside, nominalists also believe words have no meaning. To them words are just a random convention to link certain sounds to certain objects or concepts. It is entirely inside baseball, but here is the Greek opposition leader, Kyriakos Velopoulos explaining how the Ancient Greeks created language. Socrates has formulated some basics about this. For example the R sound is an indication of movement; the letter i references something soft, etc. (source).
Without going too deep into it, you can see how nominalism and the mechanistic perspective to see things as things in themselves, without seeing the interconnectedness between them, can become a serious problem when you're dealing with events in the real world.
This way of looking at reality has been institutionalized in the Western thinking to such an extent that they are not even aware of it. Philosophy is like looking through a telescope: the smallest discrepancy on earth means a giant hiatus of lightyears in space. It really is no wonder we're going to hell in a handbasket.
But to liberals like Oliver and Krayden Western thinking is still 'the good' and the pinnacle of human thought. They have no idea how far they are off course. They would make the same mistakes all over again and gladly repeat the Lutheran Reformation, which is well on the way on the road that got us here in the first place.
It requires the impossible, but maybe next time we discuss what is this 'holistic world view'...😳
