You know, I remember being intrigued by the idea of the holographic universe as well, way back when I first heard about it God knows how many years ago. Just like the discovery of galaxies outside our own--which was not that long ago--it really raised the possibility of a greatly expanded understanding of the Universe.

But it's depressing to realize that somewhere along the line, I abandoned all hope that Science(tm) would ever get to the bottom of that issue or any other. You know, not unless it meant we should sterilize ourselves or send more money to Israel or something.

Anyone remember the original fat FBI agent, the "Sloppy Sniper" of Sandy Hoax fame?

SANDY HOOK HOAX - DAVID WHEELER THE SLOPPY SNIPER

Then again, I suppose he wasn't really in the FBI. And if I had to guess, he probably wasn't "David Wheeler", either.

But it's always good to bring up these oldies but goodies, because TIL that both "David" and his "wife" were literal (not just crisis) actors. How did I miss that before?

Yeah, it's a strange thing how this has been overlooked. I can't even remember hearing any overly dramatic, emotionally manipulative mentions conjuring the image of that extra chair at Thanksgiving, where that aunt that you never really cared for still sits every year because she didn't die when the flu unmanifested itself briefly from this realm.

Exactly. It's enough that you know it was "real". Then, even decades later, they can tell you what it was, like with a movie "based on a true story".

Don't worry, I'm going to advise them to build the monuments out of an alloy of adamantium and mithril, which may have some shot at outlasting even Looooonnnnnng Coof.

Also, I find it poetically fitting to use imaginary metals.

Anyone ever heard the phrase, "the color drained from his face"?

It's not just a turn of phrase but a real effect, something having to do with blood circulation that gives our skin a reddish tint, without which it is much more grayish. If you've ever seen it in real life, it's quite startling.

Evidently, we're supposed to believe that if you get your head cut off, that's not enough for the color to drain from your face.

The suggestion here is towards "we're living in a simulation!" That is incorrect, which is why it is allowed to be promoted on the Joe Rogan Experience.

I happened to see a YT video of an American gun enthusiast who traveled to Finland back in the summer to participate in the Finnish Brutality "run-and-gun" shooting competition. He, of course, chatted with some of his Finnish friends and competitors there.

It was clear that those people were actually worried about the Russians invading. It was also clear that they thought that type of training would come into play should such an eventuality come to pass.

I thought, "Wow, they are very close to the situation, yet simultaneously they are entirely deluded about it."

I just wanted to add a bit of legal background concerning one particular aspect of the Constitution. Everyone should be aware of it, which is why it is never discussed.

The Constitution, even as written, provides no protection against totalitarians. That is, in practical terms, They are going to do what They think They can get away with, and--if pressed--They will tell you the Constitution says so.

The item here in point is a single sentence, the boring-sounding "Commerce Clause". The wiki page, albeit a ways down, finally admits it's significance:

The Commerce Clause represents one of the most fundamental powers delegated to the Congress by the founders.

You will also find it spelled out a bit more directly in this article:

Commerce Powers Under Article I of the U.S. Constitution

The Commerce Clause serves a two-fold purpose: it is the direct source of the most important powers that the Federal Government exercises in peacetime, and, except for the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, it is the most important limitation imposed by the Constitution on the exercise of state power.

See why no one ever mentions it?

Use of it really kicked into overdrive in the 1942 case of Wickard v. Filburn. A guy in Ohio grew wheat on his farm in Ohio to feed to animals on that farm in Ohio, and the Feds said he grew too much for their liking. Got him with the old Commerce Clause!

But back to what my point was about totalitarianism, if you browse through the wiki and that article, you'll find a real hit parade of all your regime favorites: the Civil Rights Act, the Controlled Substances Act and the Drug War, the Affordable Care Act, Gun-Free School Zones Act, "gender-motivated violence", etc. IOW, everything that comes to mind when you think "Commerce among the several States".

I recall hearing that something shocking, like 1/4 or 1/2, of all Federal legislation was based on the Commerce Clause. While I obviously support all legislation being tied back to the Constitution for the sake of understanding and transparency, the ultimate source of trouble is that They will not limit Their actions because of that document or any other.

I really wanted to lay a lot of this at the feet of the Christian Zionists and the "third temple/Moschiach/end times" type of regular Zionist (and they are all answerable for their own actions), but I was shocked to find out the rot has gone much deeper:

About four-in-ten U.S. adults believe humanity is ‘living in the end times’ (Pew Research 12/8/2022)

What to note in that report is that this "end times" mindset is already very common (23%) even among the unaffiliated

I mean, how bad is it when one of the looniest aspects of religious extremism has seeped over into 9% of atheists? At least the religious can declare that God is going to bring the world to an end, but WTH do the atheists think is going to happen? Do they think the Bible was right, except that it isn't going to be the "Day of the Lord" but the "Day of Greta Thunberg"?

I tend to be much more optimistic than that. I think that a big part of the horrible trauma put upon us is that we have little idea what human nature is really like. And I would add that that optimism is not just happenstance of my own personal nature, but I would have to take you back to the days of the "Four-minute mile" controversy to see why.

You can see in this article that it was widely thought impossible, and not just from pessimism, but from long experience and even scientific reasoning:

Did doctors/scientists say that breaking the 4-minute mile was impossible?

So I see humanity's current situation as analogous: we're suffering under a tremendous Satanic oppression (literally, as I came to find out), and that's like a runner back in the early 50's wondering if he can run the 4" mile but he hasn't noticed he's wearing a full suit of knight's armor over coveralls made from lead dentist's aprons. Well, there's no way.

But if he notices that extra weight and removes it, most people (as we saw in that Quora article) would still disbelieve, that being again from all experience and very good reasoning.

But fast-forward to today: all competitive middle-distance runners can do it and many talented high-schoolers. Who saw this coming? Who predicted such a simple thing? No one. They had no idea what was not only possible for humans, but commonplace.

So there's my analogy: we have all reason for pessimism, and also no idea what is really possible.

OMG, modern warfare is terrifying. We see war movies and they're dodging around during an artillery strike and exciting stuff like that. The real deal is that you're standing around smoking a cigarette on a sunny afternoon and then you're dead.

But you know what I see as the biggest "conspiracy" about warfare, modern of historical? You can find discussion on just about any aspect of it, but you'll find very little about the single most crucial aspect: how can this insanely anti-human activity even begin in the first place?

Even the Russians, for whom this is a just and necessary military action entered into reluctantly, talk very little about that. Why? I would say that the Russian leadership understands that the vast majority of the populace--in the West especially but even in Russia itself--is so far away from understanding how the world really works that it is a pointless task.

When you consider what "They" have done to people's minds, the details of warfare begin to fade. I mean, you can build a drone to blow up a whole giant steel tank, but how do you build a drone to convince someone the world they live in is not at all like they think it is?

I would hang in there, stay in the fight. I think we're getting closer and there's more water pushing against the dam than there's ever been.

Just taking the MH370 example, I've noticed two quite distinct kinds of posts on r/conspiracy, or more specifically posts with distinct sets of comments. The posts themselves are innocent enough, along the lines of, "Whatever happened to MH370?"

One kind is absolutely, completely overrun with shills pushing any and every kind of nonsense, including this "Ashton Forbes" line. Sometimes I'll post the Diego Garcia info and I've even been attacked by the OP himself! That leads me to believe the post is either targeted for cognitive warfare or completely set up by them (and why wouldn't it be?).

But there are others that are "unmolested", and they are full of solid info: Diego Garcia, Philip Wood, MH17, all the good stuff. That tells me there are plenty of awake people out there that "They" are working hard to drown out.

Who wins in this battle? Well, one indication is that They have had to step up Their game, so clearly They are feeling more pressure. I say we keep turning up that pressure.

That's a good point. I saw an interview maybe a year ago with an English mercenary who went back home after just a few months. He estimated that he had lost about 40% of his hearing from the continuous shelling.

The addendum to that was his answer when the interviewer asked if any of the shelling had been close. He said that (IIRC) one had hit as close as 100m.

As far as being life-threatening from fragmentation, as long as you're in a trench or on the deck it doesn't sound that close. But having these enormous rounds rain down around everyone and blow up anywhere in the vicinity has got to be ear-shattering. Literally.

You know, now I'm really wondering if this indeed was an AI psyop and I'll tell you why. First, I've noticed that when people interact with AI, they read meaning "in" to whatever is there. It's sort of like a crazy person having a conversation with a Magic 8 Ball.

I listened to an hour-long interview with "Ashton Forbes" on "The Unexplained" yesterday, and what I noticed is that his narrative is not a narrative at all. That is, you might say that a narrative is a description of a set of logically connected events, but that's not what he presented. That idea gets lost in a rapid-fire delivery of details.

For example, he talks about lithium-ion batteries and people seeing a plane on fire in the sky. Minutes later, he's talking about military satellites recording orbs teleporting the plane away. The thing is, he never even attempts to connect these two outlandish events.

Did the orbs set fire to the batteries in the cargo hold? Were they just waiting around for the next plane to catch on fire? Is the fire mere unrelated happenstance? If teleporting the plane was to rescue it, where are the passengers? Why isn't the plane on fire in the teleportation video, when these battery fires are notoriously hard to extinguish?

The point is, it seems as if something meaningless--as it is with AI-produced content--has been put forward for people to read whatever meaning they desire "in" to it.

One thing I noticed about those grenade-dropping videos is that, almost always, the targets never even looked up. A few times I could even see that the drone was only at an altitude of 50m, plenty close to hear. WTH were they thinking?

Finally, I heard it mentioned a couple of times that--for the Ukrainians, anyway--there are always drones flying and the noise is constant. They did hear them, they just ignored it.

Even if you survive all that, can you even imagine the PTSD from anything whirring and buzzing? Unimaginable.

The changes brought by modern drone warfare are absolutely shocking, and in a way no one from the Establishment wants to admit. In the West, for two decades "drone warfare" has meant total impunity incinerating brown people all over the world with skyborne murderbots.

Those days are over. As some indication, we can take two data points from vastly different conflict zones:

In the Red Sea, one of the types of anti-ship drones used by the Houthis costs about $2,000 a piece. The air defense missiles used to shoot them down cost about $2,000,000 each. I suppose no one in the US military is much concerned about that--there being an infinite supply of dollars--but those complex units are manufactured painfully slowly.

Over in Ukraine, a Spetnaz operator from a drone battalion was interview by "Texas" Bentley last fall:

Russian Spetsnaz Operator Explains How Drones Are Changing Modern Warfare (TID 10/7/2023)

In the embeddeb video interview, he more or less casually mentions:

And also you can drop grenades and bombs. Two weeks ago, one of my comrades killed and wounded 87 Nazis. Two weeks, could drop.

Those are Rambo++ numbers. And if you've seen video of toy quadcopters dropping grenades into trenches full of guys that never saw it coming, it's all too believable.

If only these toys had cost $25M each, the US military would have been far more interested.

At least they're putting some kind of limit on the damage this swamp creature is doing:

Ohio Senate overrides DeWine vetoes on trans youth gender-affirming care and local tobacco bans (1/24/2024)

The Senate voted 24-8 to override DeWine’s veto of House Bill 68, which blocks gender-affirming care for trans youth and prevents transgender athletes from playing women’s sports. The bill prohibits transgender youth from starting hormone therapy and puberty blockers.

Keep it up, Great State of Ohio!

Oh no, it wasn't TallestSkil. That type I've learned to just ignore. It's like trying to converse with a dog to get it to stop barking. No point to it anyway because there's no meaning behind it. They just have to get it out of their system.

There's a finer philosophical point to be made about that other guy. A lot of people are trying to "do the right thing" and make the world a better place, in whatever special snowflake way they have. I do too, in my way, The thing is, if I'm doing God's work, I guess I'll find that out when He tells me. These other people don't need anyone to tell them they're they're doing God's work, including God. The disturbing part is when a malevolent force comes along and simply informs them of what God's work is. See how that makes all the difference in the world?

No, this other one I found disturbing. You read about all this crazy, outrageous shit that has gone on throughout history and it's like your mom telling you the stove is hot. You know it's factual, but you don't really know it's true until you make contact with it.

I've only ever had to block a single person in years and years on social media. You know what set him off? In the course of some other argument I was making, I said, "most people around the world are good". Who knew that would be so controversial? He was some kind of Christian religious zealot.

The point is, I learned that the kind of implacable fanaticism that we usually associate with scimitars and stakes and carpet bombing is alive and well in this world, and it does not take any sort of unreasonable point of view to get crossways with such a mindset.

The meta-point is that when you look around at other people and think that they're basically like you, that's probably basically correct most of the time. But some people are so very alien to what you might considered a normal human experience that it nearly defies imagination.

I thought this was weird when it took place:

U.S. military command teams in charge of protecting homeland security are being isolated in the infamous Cheyenne mountain bunker where they will remain 'sealed off' until the coronavirus pandemic passes (DailyMail 3/28/2020)

No conspiracy theorists (since virtually all the theory has been diluted out of conspiracy theory these days) ever discuss the next logical question, so I'll bring it up: why did he assassinate her?

And yes, an assassination it was. As pointed out, he lay in wait, there were no exigent circumstances, there was no previous connection between the two, etc. He also seemed to have no fear of legal repercussions for this very public act, Note that the sponsors barely covered their asses with lame and staged legal repercussions.

There's another tell-tale sign in the incident which I will also bring up. In this high stress and chaotic situation, when the gunshot--which must have been deafening in the tight space--rings out... no one reacts. No one hits the deck, or ducks, or runs off, or even looks around.

Do I think this means the gunshot and the murder were fake? Absolutely not. A real event took place in the context of a larger scene. If you see Torvald knock out Nora's teeth during "A Doll's House", that doesn't prove it's fake even though it's up on a stage in a theater.

Much more to be said, of course, but there's not much point since the discussion has been totally derailed long before this point.

Elon Musk said he wanted to "authenticate all real humans" on Twitter. That sounds like a lot of work, so maybe we should all get behind him just authenticating "Enterprising Desert Raven".

After all, the exposure of a million bots and psyops begins with a single truth bomb.
