You asked whether Jesus quit. I am certainly in no position to cast any stones, nor would I in this case, but I think we can recognize that, yes, at some point it appears he decided to hang it up.
His followers would have fought to protect him and his message, of course. Even without that, he could have easily escaped Jerusalem and gone on to spread his teachings many other places. He declined both of these options.
Everyone is going to give their own reason for why he did that, almost all of them simply parroting what someone else has said about it. They may even just deny that he did it all.
The reason I bring all this up is that, to the very small extent to which I have tried to spread the truth, even truths that seem quite plain to me, I have found that very, very few are interested in the truth. So you can bang your head against a brick wall because there really is a non-zero chance you're going to bash it down, but after a while you get tired of it.
I recall what Jesus Himself said when he was talking about "ask and it shall be given you". People think it's a statement about God's generosity, but there's a subtle subtext that is universally missed: You see, what is stated is that a person has to ask, or seek, or knock. It doesn't happen automatically.
So look around and ask yourself, how many people do you really see asking, or seeking, or knocking?
Really, I was just a little shocked that (and yes, I know the bar is very low) the anons on 4chan were addressing it as if it was in any way real.
I suppose it's just another example of a principle at work I see time and again: "They" don't necessarily need to convince you of any particular falsehood, but only need do enough to keep you from the truth.
As weak-ass fakery as Uvalde was, Mission Accomplished!
You've actually hit on the main functional mechanism to manipulate people. That is, a great many people want to be "good", so the "authorities" simply instruct them as to what a "good" person says, feels, and does. Following those instructions is--definitively--being "good".
This is not the way a person with normal moral function works. That person tries to determine what is moral, then speaks, feels and acts accordingly, without regard for the opinion of the "authorities" or anyone else. The strongest of such people are willing to endure punishment for the sake of morality.
These can be hard to distinguish if you're not looking closely, but it's like two sides of the same coin: extremely close but entirely opposite and with a world of difference. Almost everyone assumes everyone else is like them. They are not.
A couple of random notes on concepts mentioned in this post:
marshalling government agencies, academia, Big Pharma, and NGOs, such as several financed by George Soros....
We have seen such combinations many times. What should be recognized is that we have gone far beyond WW2 levels of totalitarianism. Mussolini described fascism as the combination of corporate and governmental power. With increasing speed over the last few years, we have seen the rise of SuperFascism: the combination of all concentrations of power. Personally, I interpret this as a sign of weakness on Their part.
institutionalized the falsification of reality....
This is and always was the function of the "media". A Deep Thought I have found very valuable is that They told us that right in the name, but no one noticed. To the extent it crosses anyone's mind, "media" means something along the lines of "something that brings content to you", like a DVD or a sheet of paper. That's not at all correct.
The Latin word "media" means "middle". In this case, the "media" is in the middle between you and reality. They act as a shim between you and the vast majority of what you know about reality. You don't need to control reality when it's much easier to just tell people what you'd like them to believe it is. I encourage everyone to bring this understanding to mind whenever the word "media" is used.
FWIW< I'm of the firm view that Hunter Biden has been dead (from an overdose, surprise!) since before "Biden" was inaugurated.
I'm not interested in arguing the case for it with anyone, but I wish to simply bring the thesis to the attention of anyone who cares to weigh it against the available evidence and, if they find it valid, incorporate it into their own analyses.
There is a finer point here, confounding to the conclusion that the NPCs are peacefully accepting genocide. That is, we all witnessed how freaked out so many of them were at the possibility that they themselves could get sick and die from the Holocough.
This was far beyond any virtue-signalling, with which they are also obsessed. We must conclude that their instincts for self-preservation are still intact. Certainly, though, their understanding of the source and nature of actual threats to their existence are in many areas completely off the mark.
What does this say about the soul, the subject Steiner addresses? As I see it, the more immediate concept is consciousness. These NPCs seem to have a level of consciousness similar in nature to animals. That is, an animal can have a very high instinct for self-preservation, but can any animal be said to have a concept of genocide?
Finally, I feel there there probably is a relationship between what we call "consciousness" and what we call the "soul". What that may be I cannot yet say with any certainty. (And I must add that, frankly, I find it the opposite of helpful when people assert their speculations in this area as fact.)
What should be noted is that this "newly surfaced" video is from a forthcoming PBS documentary. Does it strike an odd note that this primary Establishment outlet promotes a video of "Science itself" wasting his time on a ludicrous propaganda stunt? It should.
RRN reported about a year ago that Fauci had been executed. Is this video consistent with that very out there claim? Yes, it is.
See, the vast majority will not notice that the video is from June 2021. Whatever the viewer may think of him, the image they see in March 2023 of Fauci alive and kicking is simply imprinted lightly on the surface of their mind. That reinforces the idea he's still alive and that is all that is required.
And what about conspiracy theorists, the only people that They have to worry about having suspicions about the true state of affairs? We see that, once again, they bite down the hardest on such tasty bait. Another chance to bash the evil little gnome? Yes, please! Well... see how it works?
Finally, maybe you're thinking, "I have a totally open mind, but what's written here is just some ridiculous bullshit I can reject out of hand." That's good, in a way, because now you know exactly what normies think about the things you say.
If anyone is wondering, Bindi is doing the "triad claw", with the middle and ring fingers together. Further, if anyone is thinking this is a natural and unconscious gesture, be sure to try it yourself. You'll find it feels very strange indeed.
And yeah, it seems like someone just made up a crazy bullshit story to account for some physical deformity Bindi has. But then you read something like this and it's harder to convince yourself it's quite the BS you thought:
Triad Claw Suggests Massive Satanic Jewish Conspiracy
It also seems really out of left field that such a rando pop entity like Steve Irwin would be involved in such a thing. But then you can look around and find analyses that Irwin is in reality John Denver, and that Denver faked his death. You also find that Irwin faked his death and is now back working with the same organization as a guy named Steve Backshall. Hang on, "Steve shall be back"? Okay.
Finally, for anyone that dismisses such ideas out of hand before researching and examining the evidence for yourself, that is precisely why you will always fail to understand the world. While you stroke your ego with thoughts of your high level of discernment, your own lack of imagination cripples you.
This is the latest in the innumerable examples that absolutely everything a Leftist says or writes comes with a giant silent/invisible asterisk at the end of it.
They simply do not have any principles they recognize and by which they limit their own behavior. We should all recognize that the neoliberals embody what Thucydides wrote so long ago: "The strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must."
Good old Tyler Durden tips his hand once again as high-level disinfo. The misdirection begins here:
So when the FDIC decided to guarantee every depositor at Silicon Valley Bank, including those with balances exceeding $250,000, it means they’re bailing out SVB’s wealthy customers at the expense of big Wall Street banks.
Let's take a look at that: "at the expense of big Wall Street banks". He'd like us to have in mind that some financial Masters of the Universe are not going to get bonus checks as large as they otherwise would. Then he launches off into this very long and tedious bond discussion.
But the FDIC does not insure "big Wall Street banks", unless that's what you call the retail banks you use, your employer uses, and the weed shop across town would like to use. Part of the interest and fees and charges that they collect from you and everyone you know is used to pay the dues to the FDIC.
If there is a "special assessment" by the FDIC on it's member banks, where will that money come from? Will all the tellers and branch managers get half-pay for a month? Of course not. It's coming from you and everyone you know. It's not even limited to taxpayers, as a bailout would be.
Except then again, maybe taxpayers will get it too. The FDIC is a US Government corporation that is "backed by the full faith and credit of the government of the United States of America". They may have to wait another week until the heat really blows over to pull that one.
Anyway, thanks again, Tyler.
Don't miss Chapter 1 of his book "Tsar of the Slavs", where he sets out a compelling case that Jesus was born in what we call the year 1152 AD.
Prediction: Everyone disagreeing with this conclusion is in reality simply made too uncomfortable by it, and will find a personalized way to avoid exposure to the evidence. Well, this is not actually a prediction, it's just how human minds really work.
Just as an indication of how bad it all really is: I was listening yesterday to Russell "Texas" Bentley interview from a few weeks back where he was complaining that RT was so cucked and subverted by liberals he couldn't stand to read it any more.
I mean, wow. He didn't elaborate but it put RT in a new light for me. I had been thinking, "Well, I suppose this content could be a little Russia-leaning without me being able to know any better." Now I've changed that bias to, "It's at least this bad, maybe a lot worse."
I certainly agree with what you said, but I think no one has quite put their finger on the deeper dynamics at work. I suspect, in the end, we'll be describing a type of consciousness we come to call base-level or "beast" consciousness. There are a few other strongly demonstrated phenomena we can observe:
During the pandemic, these people simply could not do enough to save their own lives. What I derived is that rather than living--as you describe it--they were avoiding dying. Big difference, right?
Also, for all their bleating about overpopulation, can you think of even one of them that jumped off a bridge as a political statement or just to help the rest of us out? Me either.
We might observe that they procreate at a lower rate, and encourage birth control and abortion and all that, but that seems to be driven again by selfishness: everyone else is ruining it for "them". It seems to me like they're too self-absorbed and self-centered to wish to care for children. And in an odd twist, they don't even act like they would have had children and then "take credit" for not having them to save us from whatever. A strange omission for people obsessed with virtue-signalling.
Finally, I've noticed that the lives of others don't really seem "real" to them. I haven't heard a single one of them mention the human cost of the conflict in Ukraine--let alone grieve it--apart from as a talking point that "Russia bad". Human life seems to them to have no inherent worth, let alone transcendence.
The thesis that is forming for me is that this all reflects a consciousness similar to that of animals. How many animals conceptualize that the world existed before them, and that it will continue to exist after they pass away? Or that anyone need bother themselves with considerations of either?
(BTW: I think that's why Greta had to ratchet "the End of the World" down to 12 years. Leftists simply could not be made to care about anything further out.)
I have a something of an elaboration on the origin and function of disinformation agents like Desmet.
I've listened to so many paid liars over the years I feel that just from the tone I can pick up on them in the first few minutes, if not the few few sentences. When I listened to a two hour interview with Desmet back when "mass psychosis formation" was making the rounds, I didn't pick up that he was a liar, and didn't see the "poison pill" in his thesis until near the end of the interview. And he wasn't pushing it, either, it was in response to a question.
So what's the category? Well, as there are useful idiots, there are useful intellectuals. That is, their research and presentations are authentic and close to the truth, but off far enough in critical ways to be harmless. Just like a stage punch is more convincing the closer it is to being a real punch without doing any actual damage.
Judy Woods and Judy Mikovits fall into the same category, although I think now Woods realizes she was incorrect, but also realizes on which side her bread is buttered. Pretty much the same goes for Robert Schoch.
The old rule, of course, is that there's no one better to spread a lie than someone who actually believes it.
If you're looking for some knowledge of the depth of the game being played here, you may be interested in the etymology of the household word "flu" itself.
It comes the study of epidemics in Italy way back in the 1500s. Long story short, they found out that the only thing they could correlate these outbreaks to was solar activity. So the term "flu" comes from the Italian phrase "influenza della stella", or "the influence of the star".
Okay so, entertaining story and maybe there's even something to it, but why would you attach any real importance to it? Well, "They" most certainly do.
I searched on that phrase in two engines and only one single reference is left to it in English. You cannot locate even the small bit I just told you. Bizarrely, that one hit is to a clemaneuverers post on this very forum:
"They" consider it important enough to annihilate knowledge of it. How many people do you think know the game is played at this level and are aware of examples? Whatever your answer is, it's now +1. Welcome.
Personally, I would discount the occurrence of a nova event--or any other such catastrophe--at any time in the foreseeable future. That would be based on two primary lines of evidence.
First, you can't really find what I would consider reliable evidence that They are making any preparations for the survival of any large number of people, even a few hundred thousand. You can any number of narratives about underground civilizations and bunker cities for the elites under mountains, etc, etc, but none of these ever seem to interlock with one another as you would expect to see with fragmentary revelations of an underlying truth.
Second, why would they bother with depopulation programs a century old if all us poor surface dwellers are just going to get boiled and suntanned to death? I suppose one could say it's just misdirection to throw us off the huge secret, but then again there's no independent evidence of there being a huge secret like that.
None of this means catastrophes haven't taken place before. It's pretty clear to me that a comet struck 13,000 years ago, kicking off the Younger Dryas and creating the Great Flood, among other things. The mainstream derides this as "conspiracy theory", yet promotes all other manner of disasters to frighten us. Puzzling.
I believe this should be read an yet another act of desperation, a last-ditch ploy to get people to believe that viruses are contagious little animalcules floating everywhere and on every surface making people sick.
Even saying that they are bioweapons has little cost. Is anyone going to get hauled into court over these "bioweapons", let alone hang by the neck until dead? No? No one?
Final note: There certainly has been something "novel" in the world the last few years, and it has killed some people and sickened a great many. There has been almost no investigation or discussion of this. Was it some wort of bioweapon, possibly one mimicking the action of a "weaponized virus"?
Final final note: The more I look at Stew Peters, the more disturbed I am by him. Obviously controlled op, but is he also some sort of evil android?
There is a passage (Revelation 21:7-8) that comes to mind when I have similar thoughts:
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Now, do I think the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and that we are living in the End Times, and do I fear Eternal Damnation, and am I trying to convert people to the Body of Christ? No, none of these things are true.
But when I read those words, I think, "There is just no way I want to be one of those people in the second sentence. Sound like a bunch of lame-ass bitches. I would definitely rather overcometh. That there is the baller move."
So keep on truckin'. Or overcometh. However you want to say it it's the same thing.
The Miranda requirement is already functionally useless. Don't ask me how I know this, but if the cops question you and then arrest you without notifying you of your rights, they just tell the judge, "Oh, that was just a field interview. We had no intention of arresting the suspect when it began." The Justice Machine just goes along with it.
Funny, I can't recall this being shown a single time in the movies or TV.
