The practice of solitary confinement in the United States traces its origins back to the 19th century when Quakers in Pennsylvania used this method as a substitution for public punishments.
I know, I know, you had to get all the way to the third paragraph in wiki. And no pictures along the way!
Did you see the one his other son brought home? A "former" CIA officer:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says He Couldn't Be Happier for His Son to Marry Former CIA Officer Amaryllis Fox (6/26/2018)
There's a compounding problem that I neglected to mention. Yes, it's a huge task that few accept as their duty, but the reason most people don't do it is not because of laziness of neglect. Rather, it's because it is simply not the way their minds work.
Many people assume that other people's minds work like theirs, maybe better or worse or in a slightly different style or with different biases. Upon careful study, you will find this is not true. Most people's thought processes generally work in reverse, beginning with conclusions and ending with "facts".
I mention this because it's a crucial factor to integrate into any coherent worldview. Otherwise, you'll spend a lot of time banging your head against a wall trying to incorporate "what a lot of other people think". To really prepare to find the truth, you have to be ready to break with what everyone else "knows".
The final frontier to which "They" will bring us cognitively is "solipsism". They disguise the meaning but, in short, it's the idea that there is no objective reality. (Satanists discourage this among their adherents, but sell it to everyone else.) To the extent this is accomplished in our minds, all things become possible. For in such a state, how would anyone begin to show something was impossible?
To counter it, one need only posit that there is indeed an objective reality. We then use our imperfect senses and imperfect reasoning, and realize that our understanding will simply fall short of perfect. Big deal.
Final note: everyone should clearly understand that no one can "prove" anything to you, and thus can never have a duty to do so. Rather, it is the duty of each of us to understand the world as well as is practical. Without such understanding, moral action becomes uncertain and even--in principle--impossible.
I always wondered who came up with the wording: "Epstein didn't kill himself". The interpretation is, of course, uncertain. I do feel certain, though, that whoever came up with it constructed it that way on purpose.
Well, I have no secret sources of evidence but I just take a close look at what They hand us. Anyone could do it but out of the few that could even imagine such a thing is possible, none bother to.
The context, though, is that the laptop story broke mid-October 2020 and Hunter drops out of sight. Then about 10 days later a rumor swept through that Hunter had died of an OD. Makes sense: the pressure finally got to him and he accidentally on purpose took the easy way out. But the point is, I started looking for proof-of-life and the first picture I found was this one:
There's Hunter! Post-Mortem of Biden's Phony "Victory" Party (11/7/2020)
Personally, that was enough to convince me. That's some lame-ass fakery, but then again, maybe I'm the only person really looking, huh? Anyway, that gets followed by stories of "Hunter" appearing where no picture is included, "Hunter" in a mask and baseball hat, etc. After a few months go by they find a body double and people have forgotten what the real one looks like. Again, they're not looking anyway.
I would say it's not that They're okay with this coming out, it's that They're managing the process itself. You can roughly compare Hunter with Jim, as far as their involvement in corruption and treason. So Jim would still be worried about prison, but more important, Hunter can never turn state's evidence.
So we get this slow trickle of bad news about Hunter, starting with his BS art/graft career. Frankly, They could run this all the way out to Hunter going to the Big House while they all scream political persecution by a vast right-wing conspiracy. Both sides will be enthralled (literally).
That's just it: the conspiracists are the only ones they need to entertain, distract, and deceive with the Hunter Biden sideshow.
Do you think anyone who considers CNN, MSNBC or the NYT an actual source of information even has the capacity to imagine that "They" would present CGI and body doubles of people who were actually dead? No way in hell.
For such people, their thought process is, "Oh, I would know he was dead because they'd definitely say something about it," Thus, any story mentioning Hunter implies he's alive, and for certain audiences that authoritatively and unquestionably defines him as alive.
I'm personally of the view, based on certain evidence, that Hunter has been dead since just before "Joe" was inaugurated. So if that's the case, then they can run this ring of the circus as long as they like, no one who counts is in any danger, as many are distracted by the spectacle.
Really, no one is even inconvenienced, since they're running this witch hunt themselves and can turn it on and off and adjust the temperature just like the rest of us do with our kitchen faucets.
(Strangely, I get a lot of pushback from conspiracy theorists when I say that Hunter is dead. I've concluded that it makes them intensely uncomfortable because then they would have missed something substantial and they're back to feeling acute uncertainty about the world. I'm not without sympathy, but I figure that's on them and they're free to ignore whatever I say. Much easier to deal with that kind of world.)
A whole lot of people criticized Trump for being a draft dodger. Leaving out a determination as to whether he was or not, I always wondered, "Would those people be happy if Trump had been this door gunner?" You know, "I was yuuuuuge in Vietnam! And that ain't no bullshit neither!"
It's one of the things that made me realize that virtually no ones thinks things through, starting at the beginning and finishing at the end. They just sort of start in the hazy gray area in the middle and end somewhere else in the hazy gray area. Goes a long way to explaining the poor decision-making we see all around us.
Strangely, Jesuits in Japan just came up today in a vastly different context:
Martin Scorsese Meets Pope Francis, Announces Film About Jesus – Report (Variety 5/29/2023)
Scorsese also talked about the meaning of his own controversial 1988 epic “The Last Temptation of Christ” and of “the subsequent step in his research on the figure of Jesus” represented by his smaller-scale 2016 drama “Silence” about the persecution of Jesuit Christians in 17th-century Japan. That film screened in 2016 at the Vatican. Francis is the first Jesuit pope and is known to have joined the Jesuit order hoping to become a missionary in Japan.
I would add that the 1980 "Shogun" miniseries based on the book was broadcast on network TV and was wildly popular. It had 13 Primetime Emmy nominations with 8 wins, won 3 Golden Globes, a People's Choice and other awards. The Jesuits were very much portrayed as villains in the series and the book. I have no doubt such work would have no chance of being created today.
I take this as strong evidence that the people behind the NATO-Russia War know the end is imminent. Before the implosion, they've got to get eyes off it and give time for the dust to settle before they declare the great victory of the defenders of independence. And hey, has NATO ever met a war it didn't like?
If you love "freedom and democracy" then let's get those avatars changed, people!
I always thought that the Soviets must have really twisted history all around, but I don't think they ever took it this far. And even if they did, I seriously doubt the average person ever bought it.
Actually, given the 1.0/10 rating on IMDB, maybe average people are catching on in 2023.
I think the important lessons are this:
-
Forget about moving to a Red State. They are just as infiltrated as the Blue ones, but just not so up-front and in your face with it.
-
Abbott is a snake in the grass. For Christ's sake, Greg, can't you even just publicly call bullshit on it?
-
Trump called out Abbott for being "MIA" on this, which should tell us something about Trump. (This doesn't apply to people who are certain Trump is "oNe oF ThEm", for whom all evidence fits their current view.)
Well, I wouldn't try to talk you out of anything you wrote. I suspect you've done a more than sufficient job of firmly convincing yourself. What can be added to that which is already full?
The only thing I would mention is that I have come to understand that people feel comfortable when they believe they understand the world around them and how it works. It is intensely discomforting to allow into their psyche the thought that forces and factors are at work beyond those they have taken into consideration, beyond their present level of comprehension, or even exceeding their ability to imagine.
In these exceedingly uncertain times, people desperately want to feel comfortable, and thus we find engendered a form of "arrested development".
First, I think it's clear that "They" pulled the trigger earlier than they had otherwise planned. For example, it was late February 2020 and Nancy Pelosi still goes out of her way to talk it down:
Nancy Pelosi Visits San Francisco's Chinatown Amid Coronavirus Concerns (NBC Bay Area 2/24/2020)
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi toured San Francisco's Chinatown Monday to send a message. She said there's no reason tourists or locals should be staying away from the area because of coronavirus concerns. "That’s what we’re trying to do today is to say everything is fine here," Pelosi said. "Come because precautions have been taken. The city is on top of the situation."
That's not the way you kick off a psyop. "They" were still trying to get everyone on the same page at that late date.
So what moved Their hand? I would say that Trump was causing all kinds of damage, throwing monkey wrenches into their plans left and right, so they pulled COVID off the shelf as a "break glass in case of emergency".
If there was something specific he was working on They were trying to avert, I am not aware of any information concerning it.
If the government wasn't required to coerce private companies to enforce zero-tolerance against hate speech, most particularly anti-Semitic speech, then what meaning could the First Amendment possibly have?
The Framers must be rolling in their graves.
"They" are really taking away the challenge of the guessing game as to whether DeSantis is legit. Here's another bizarre tidbit that turned up:
Is it ‘Dee-Santis’ or ‘Deh-Santis’ running for US president? Even Ron DeSantis and his wife can’t agree (SCMP 5/26/2023)
Twitter user “johnny maga” asked in the post, “Who changes the pronunciation of their own last name in their 40s? Is there anything genuine about this guy?”
There's a guy asking the key question.
Real, unfortunately. In fact, I came to understand that "They" organize their big social engineering initiatives around personality disorders.
One example is neo-liberalism, crafted around people with dependent personality disorder. Another example that we just started living through three years ago is neo-totalitarianism, crafted around people with antisocial personality disorder.
These are used in feedback loops, of course. These personality disorders are enabled, encouraged, and rewarded by the system. The system itself is then strengthened and it's goals advanced as more people fall into line with it.
Technocracy will be enabled by the slave mentality. It's not formally recognized as a personality disorder, but they're never going to do that, are they?
Quite a bit more here on the dating of Vesuvius, as well as a variety of related issues:
Many years ago I was casually chatting with a chemist who mentioned he worked with drugs. I said, "A lot of these drugs seem pretty bad. If you could pick just one to ban, which one would it be?" He instantly said cigarettes.
I was very surprised and asked him why. "All the additives," he told me.
"OMG, the Russians have supplied Wagner with advanced stick technology. This is a war crime! See you in the Hague, Putin!"
Seriously, pretty long stick though, right?
