Quick note on the significance of the insignificant:
I got a fund-raising email yesterday from Team Harris-Walz, one of about eight per day even though I am not registered as a Democrat nor have ever signed up for anything faintly Democratic. The subject line?
Sep 18, 2024 is today.
Somebody somewhere thought that was a good headline, attention-grabbing, hard-hitting.
My point is that the Left has always prided itself on attracting the creative types, but it's clear now that they are so odious and objectionable that they have driven out all the creatives (along with blacks and Latinos and women and Asians and gays).
If Mossad was attempting to convince the Arab world that the Zionists were a clear and present danger to everyone in the region, and that immediate action was required while differences among them could be sorted out later, then in the immortal banner of George W. Bush: "Mission Accomplished!"
Calm down, I just said I thought the story was fake. But don't worry because exploding pagers are good evidence for it. You've convinced me and everyone else who might be tempted to express views at variance with your own.
You're free to believe whatever you please, but I have found that that particular freedom is actually too much for the vast majority to handle. They'd rather tell everyone else how correct and outraged they are. I find it dismaying to see displayed, personally, but there you have it.
An article on it from Iranian media:
Hezbollah members and civilians killed, wounded in Lebanon pager explosions (PressTV 9/17/2024)
I see it very much the opposite way, on a big picture level. All that They have carefully built over decades and centuries is slipping through their fingers (China and the Global South), crumbling to dust (Israel, and dreams of the destruction of Russia), and being torn from Their grasp (by such people as Donald Trump and Elon Musk).
Worse, public sentiment is tilting away. Worst--and possibly fatal--common knowledge that public sentiment is tilting away is growing seemingly unstoppably. An idea whose time has come, if you will.
I came to realize recently that almost all They have ever done is through influence, like--as you say--tiny strings pulling people this way and that. When those strings get cut, the functionality of the puppets degrades chaotically and it's hell trying to get then retied. Pull on the strings too hard and you'll snap them yourself.
If They had some brilliant secret plan to recover from all this, I certainly can't see any evidence of it.
The first one had to be done in plain view, so we would all "know what had happened". This time around they were willing to take the psychology down a notch in return for effectiveness.
Specifically, they line up some unstable dumbass and do it in out of public view. Without seeing it for ourselves, we would have to take the word of the "authorities" as to what happened, but it would still look "true enough". The patsy can be suicided any time he begins to say things not in the script.
Who's next in the batting order? How about... one of his security detail turns out to have a homicidal case of TDS? "Oh well, maybe the mainstream should not have been so divisive. But what's done is done and, after all, Trump brought it on himself for threatening democracy."
I just wanted to pause a second to make a meta-point about revelations such a these.
In the before-times, each of these incidents would have caused some level of scandal, leading to discussion for many days or even weeks, both in the mainstream and the conspir-o-sphere (the perspectives and agenda being different, of course).
Now, there is a steady rain of these bombshells, which I daresay is unprecedented. In conspiracy circles, there is heavy shilling to be expected as a matter of course, but each of these passes away in a day or three because the next one has dropped.
On the other hand, in mainstream circles they have reached the point of flatly denying certain things exist that are easily corroborated. The fate of domestic animals in Ohio is now the textbook example. There are no justifications, or promises to investigate, or any of the other standard bullshit responses. We have jumped a quantum level in gaslighting.
I don't say we've reached "peak gaslighting", because for the imaginative there is a long way to go: Trump dropped out of the race, Trump is dead and we're seeing a body double. Republican Haitians have contaminated the Capitol Building with AIDS and electoral votes can't be counted until remediation is done by astronauts now stranded in the ISS, etc. The sky is the limit!
As I have said many times, we're really getting down to it and this meta-point goes on the pile of evidence for that. What that "it" may be, I do not know.
That question traces back to the fundamental question concerns the origin of consciousness itself: is consciousness a phenomenon emergent from physical processes in the Universe, or is it... something other than that:
A maverick physicist named John Wheeler wondered about this half a century ago, and you can read more about this very curious fellow here:
Physicist John Wheeler and the “It from Bit” (6/29/2023)
Wheeler was one of the first prominent physicists to propose that reality might not be wholly physical; in some sense, our cosmos must be a “participatory” phenomenon requiring the act of observation--and thus consciousness itself.
This is a carefully crafted message meant to be picked up by certain Trump supporters.
He is certainly just as aware as I am that TMC (or whoever was on the roof) was not the assassin, and further that the real assassination plot involved both on-site security personnel and elements of the leadership of SS, FBI and DOJ. That's very close to him and they very nearly succeeded.
Yet he had has almost nothing to say about it, willing to let stand the wildly suspicious actions and statements of those who are supposed to be investigating it.
The reason for this is a deliberate choice on Trump's part. He could easily press the position, "They tried to kill me. You think they won't rig the election? If they say Kamala won, don't you think that marks the formal end of the constitutional republic? What do you have left to lose after that, besides everything?"
On point, to be sure, but it's putting out fire with gasoline. He has chosen the path of (hopefully) peace with a "too big to rig" strategy. That is, the specific numbers in the election become unimportant. What is important is that everybody knows he won, and--this is the crucial point--everybody knows that everybody else knows he won. As Lincoln phrased it, "With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed."
You don't attract people under the big tent by frightening them, telling them that the foundations of the world they think they live in are made of sand and scorpions. He has chosen the fairly conventional and persuasive political message that, "Everything in the world has turned to shit since these other hacks got their hands on it, but I can fix it." So he stays silent about the deeply disturbing, inflammatory, and divisive attempted murder.
Coincident with that silence (and perhaps deliberately amplified because of it), the strongest disinfo gambit has been "it was all fake". Given Trump's silence, it seems even some supporters could reasonably begin to have doubts.This is a message to them.
The subtle message that is to be understood by them--almost certainly subconsciously--is that at the highest levels, they know we're all being lied to about this and no one has gotten to the bottom of anything, but Trump & Co. are still on the case. Message received.
The way I would describe it, really, is a paradigm shift. One way you can characterize a difference in paradigms is that it is flatly impossible to reason your way from one paradigm to the other. In essence, this is a practical definition of how the limits of a paradigm are established.
The classic example is the geocentric paradigm, with the Earth at the center and the planets moving in perfect circles. When they could not properly account for the observed movements of the planets... they just added more perfect circles called "epicycles". Still wrong? Add more epicycles and ask for more funding. See how that will never get you there?
Copernicus comes along with simple and straightforward ideas: the Sun is at the center and the planets--including Earth--move in ellipses. Rather than being evaluated, these ideas are rejected without examination because they lie outside the paradigm. They don't say that, of course, because a consciousness trapped in a paradigm does not recognize that fact. Rather, that brain will always come up with reasons why Copernicus is full of it. And it all makes perfect sense... within the hermetically (haha) sealed paradigm.
Even the very word "believe" loses what we take to be it's meaning and we have to be disciplined as to it's use. Suppose your average Democrat "believes" Kamala to be the correct choice for President. Is it the case that an unbiased and open consciousness has been presented with evidence and reasoning both for and against this position, and now "believes" it to be the most rational?
Of course not. It is akin to an "article of faith" in the religious context. It is accepted without question. To challenge it--even in the sanctity of one's own mind, let alone in public--is a grave sin. It then becomes irrational. Does one question a geometric axiom?
But to confess a blind faith is, in our society at the present time, also considered to be a failure. Thus, they'll make up whatever facts and arguments are necessary to "prove" to all the a-holes how "right" they really are. See how it works?
They actually say it plainly:
Satanic Temple Attacks Texas Abortion Law, Argues That it Violates Their ‘Religious Freedom’ to ‘Abortion Rituals’ (The Gateway Pundit 9/5/2021)
I'm reminded of something disturbing mentioned by former Satanic priest Mark Passio. As he was leaving, he said, "I'm going to expose you! I'm going to tell everyone what you're doing."
Surprisingly, they responded, "Go ahead. We could tell them ourselves, and they wouldn't believe us either." Even more surprisingly, that points the way forward.
It is demonstrably not a matter of discovering the truth, or even of showing that truth to others. The problem lies beyond that, in the consciousness of each person and how it functions. And I hear people just ascribe it to "sinfulness" or "our fallen nature", I find that to be incredibly lazy, naive and even bigoted, and thus an additional part of the problem.
The key observations concern the blood trails on his head from the close up photo. Another key photo surfaced which showed his body, his rifle 6-7' away, no blood trail down the roof, and no one else on the roof. These together tell a particular tale.
This patsy was used only as a distraction and then executed. The fatal shot came from the second floor window of the adjacent building overlooking the location. Like a fish in a barrel.
It was almost certainly a 5.56 round, fired from one of the generic M4's that everybody and his brother was carrying around that day. It entered the right side of the back of his head and did not exit, as there is no blood on the roof to the left side of the head. As I understand it, the ideal sniper shot involves some brain structure directly behind the eyes towards the back of the head and causes instant death. I would surmise that target was easily hit.
As the report states, it took 11 minutes for some, let's say, "normal" cops to get up to the roof. Immediately after the shooting, though, either the executioner or a nearby accomplice went up to the roof, made sure he was dead, and swapped out his original rifle for the bullshit one now in "evidence". That was before the blood trail even had time to run down past the body.
The patsy was dead, so blood was just slowly leaking out of his head. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see several separate sources. His sinuses were disrupted, so you can see blood out of his ears, nose and mouth. Totally separately, though, you can see blood trails running down both below and above his ear from behind. That was blood draining from the entrance wound on the side of his head.
Again, whoever this guy was he was only a patsy, meant to take all the blame and to tell no tales. His specific identity is unimportant at the current time, because no one without subpoena power is going to find out any more about him.
The Leftists talk incessantly about Trump's manufactured "legal problems", and I think they have to do their utmost to hide their erotic arousal. It's not just that Maya Rupert and Jonathan Capehart find no hypocrisy or even irony in these present comments, no other Leftist does, at least in the evidentiary record.
What I'm trying to point out is not that these people are hypocritical Leftists, it is that these people think fundamentally differently than what is universally assumed. It is, in fact, specifically that differing process of (what would incorrectly be called) "rationality" that makes them both Leftists and appear hypocritical.
See, if you pinned one down about it, asking whether this was a hypocritical position, they would manufacture a rationale for why it was not. Crucially, they would not begin their response with something like, "It would certainly appear hypocritical, but let me offer these additional facts and reasoning...." That's because they have never evaluated whether it might be hypocritical.
They begin with the correct conclusion (ie, "correct" as it manifests in their own consciousness). Obviously (to them) it is well-justified, involves no hypocrisy, and is supported by all the evidence. Everything after that is just waving their hands and making noises at the wrong people who disagree.
This article provides a good amount of detail on the elaborate plan devised and executed by Hezbollah, originally from a Lebanese source linked in the text:
Hezbollah Attack on August 25 Killed One of Israel’s Highest Ranking Military Officers! (VT Foreign Policy 9/3/2024)
If it ain't the truth, then someone missed their calling writing "Tom Clancy" novels.
A long time ago, Mark Dice got in a fight with Brian Stelter, who had criticized his book. Dice pointed out that he was sitting alone in this house and still had a bigger audience than Stelter. It was only many years later that Bri-Bri rolled off into the muddy ditch beside the road.
What I realized way back then was that mainstream media was an animated corpse. What I came to realize over the years is that very few people--normies and conspiracists alike--recognize this "Weekend at Bernie's" situation. They continue to internally conceptualize the mainstream as being as influential as it always was.
I realize now that's the kind of magic "They" actually rely on, which can metaphorically animate corpses. I must say it works well.
What I suspect (and find hilarious) is that Tenet Media is indeed a covert influence operation, but it's one set up by the CIA or similar organization. To mix metaphors, the wheels are really coming off lately and they've stepped on their own dick.
That is, these networks are constructed of personalities pushing "safe dangerous" material. Do they ever say anything you couldn't find just scrolling up and down r/conspiracy? Of course not. As long as they're doing more good than harm, their messages can be shaped.
Their protests to the contrary, it's just like training animals: you make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard. Millions and millions of dollars are floating around for fucking podcasts yet none of these geniuses ever questioned whether they might be assets. That sole fact is conclusive both that they are assets and that the program is working well.
Actually, it's possible that they were deliberately sacrificed for the greater good. I never view any of these people's content because you can smell them a mile away, but No Agenda played a clip of Tim Poole saying that Ukraine is the worst enemy America has and they should be cut loose immediately. Okay, that kind of talk is verboten for sure.
So maybe the conscious decision was made to cut all these fuckers loose, given that there are a hundred others standing behind each of them. As They do so, they get to lay out their carcasses and say, "Would you look at these motherfucking Rooskie whores? Disgusting!"
To mix metaphors again, it's a bloodsport and we're dealing with cornered animals. None of this comes as a surprise (to me, anyway).
Bannon says plainly what the problem is with himself and many others: he's a Christian Zionist.
Christian Zionism is a worse and more dangerous religious zealotry that regular Zionism. First, these kooks can be just as bloodthirsty because they're doing it for Jesus and not simple religious and ethnic bigotry. Second, no one seems to know about them, making the entire operation covert in terms of the public consciousness. Third, they're Americans in America with their hands on the reins of global influence, not a bunch of Yids in a Third World shithole on the edge of the desert.
I guess my point is that when "conspiracists" believe they're really on to something and go looking for how these people are crypto-Jews or take AIPAC campaign contributions or their kids are married to Heebs, well, I know I shouldn't, but frankly I have to laugh at their ignorance. They will never find anything because they're barking up the wrong forest.
The reason I shouldn't laugh is that a handful of such engaged people might actually be of service to get the word out about Christian Zionism.
(PS: I bet I made a lot of new friends writing this.)
I would add that I feel that MbS feared that this time would come, and has been preparing Saudi for this conflict for several years.
Early in the Trump Administration, he pushed through deal after deal for armaments, the biggest worth $110B. This was way, way beyond the use of KC-135's to drop bombs on Yemeni tribesmen.
The standing question was: what did they need all that gear for? Supposedly, the Saudi royals were all in with the Zionists and the antagonism was phony. People could also wave their hands around about the MIC and sales, but Trump was the only one since Ike ever to call out the MIC.
So this is it: a real fight against the Zionists for all the marbles. They have come completely off whatever chain may have existed before. The clock is ticking because Trump will pull the plug on any US involvement come January. (IDK, of course, but I think this time around mutineers will be shot. Er, I mean, suffer tragic training accidents like so many others.)
I suspect this does not track with how you'd chart the situation, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
