- finds him
It is no great shame to be fooled by hopium at least once. Everyone has trouble distinguishing genuine hope from synthetic hopium when they first encounter it.
Over and over we see the same story play out. The crowd begins to lose interest in the political stage play. They begin to suspect that it’s fake. That reality is taking place somewhere off stage and out of sight. They begin to realize that they are not spectators at all, but active participants with the ability to shape the world around them. And then along comes a god from a machine peddling hopium and the audience goes back to enjoying the show.
None of this is to denigrate the religious instinct that compels humans to look for a saviour from the heavens. On the contrary. Those with religious faith should be the most offended by this god from the machine script that sees their most cherished, divine beliefs cynically played on by would-be political rulers masquerading as gods.
Of course the hopium peddled by these fake gods is enticing. It’s designed to be. It plays on one of our greatest capacities as human beings: our capacity for hope. Our belief that we can make the world a better place and that we are not condemned to forever wait for the god from the machine to deliver us from our problems.
But hopium is not hope. Like opium, which binds to opioid receptors in the brain to provide temporary pain relief, hopium is a synthetic, man-made construct which provides us with the simulacrum of hope. And, like opium, hopium can disrupt our lives, pacify us into inactivity, and make us suffer withdrawals in its absence.
No, we must not abandon hope itself. As part of the triumvirate of faith, hope and charity, hope is a virtue to be cherished. Genuine hope is the rocket fuel that humans use to propel themselves towards their goals. Without hope, there would be no motivation to do anything to improve our situation.
But that is the difference. Hope compels us to go out there and try to improve our situation. Hopium, on the other hand, convinces us that someone else has taken care of the problem. That we can just sit back, get the popcorn and enjoy the show.
Like the dope peddler on the street corner, the politicians and hucksters are always ready to satisfy their mark with a dose of hopium. And the public, more often than not, is only too happy to take it.
But hopium is a deadly drug, and the god from the machine is nothing but a cheap stage trick. Nothing will change until we stop enjoying the show and realize that we are not spectators watching history unfold from the sidelines. We are history’s actors, and, propelled by genuine hope, we can and will change the world.

Belgian media: body of missing soldier Jürgen Conings found The body of missing soldier Jürgen Conings (46) has been found lifeless in the Limburg Hoge Kempen National Park. This is reported by the editors of the Belgian regional channel TVL. The mayor of Maaseik, Johan Tollenaere, confirms to Het Laatste Nieuws that he himself discovered a body in the neighboring municipality of Dilsen and that there is a very good chance that it is Conings.
Tollenaere (Open VLD) made a mountain bike tour through the region this morning and noticed a pungent corpse smell in Dilsen. He then notified the emergency services and military personnel who are still on site to search for Conings. Tollenaere himself did not see the body, but everything points to Conings.
The mayor was mountain biking with five friends, like every Sunday. "Then they observed the corpse and passed on information about the location," alderman and party colleague Edgard Stijven confirmed to this site. According to him, Tollenaere informed the city council by app.
Jürgen Conings disappeared on May 17 with weapons he had taken from the Leopoldsburg barracks. The federal prosecutor immediately labeled Conings as a terror suspect because of his extreme right-wing sympathies and threats against virologist Marc Van Ranst, who has been staying in a safe house ever since. Conings was also on the OCAD list of potentially dangerous extremists.
His car was found a day later, but there was no trace of Conings. There have been dozens of searches for more than a month, especially in the Hoge Kempen National Park in Limburg.

He rambles for about 4m45s before he's gets into it - I never saw or heard of this film before but it's ... well, it's something else...
I too am skeptical about that part... but it's a direct quote from the writer... she kind of qualifies it then as those against "globalist capitalism" or "stakeholder capitalism"... see what you think yourself... Whitney Webb is usually pretty solid. Communism is known to turn on it's useful idiots as well as it's enemies.
Sorry, my title was misleading, Bupa is an International Health Insurance Co.... so I guess travel health insurance... It's probably the same story even if not travelling.
Thanks for taking the time to write this. Fascinating internet history right here. I wasn't on reddit in the early years, and even then had a couple of long periods of inactivity - there are interesting things here that I didn't know and it's good to have your perspective.
It's basically like a Mafia protection fee
It's actually Kay Griggs. The edit wont stick.
many such cases
Everyone should watch the full interview Key Griggs did with her pastor in the 90's about her abusive military insider husband, about the things he revealed to her during drunken stupor. NATO / SHAPE features heavily as basically the military force that will make the New World Order happen. It's full of fascinating and disturbing information, such as the pedophilic tendencies among the military elite, and fascinating info about the "LGBTQ" Nazis, who were NAZIs but grew to be against Hitler, and were predominantly the ones who ended up in the USA as part of Paperclip, brought there by Jewish businessmen/money and Jewish people in the state dept.
It's something that has been completely memory-holed since it happened so early in the internet's existence.
This is basically a case of Catholics wanting to deny the full observance of their faith to a (crypto) Jew, based on them believing that this person does not follow their faith (abortion is highly contentious issue among Catholics of both sexes).
So I wondered if the reverse was true... and of course it is, but here's some detail:
It is forbidden for a gentile to fully observe Shabbat... [a gentile in the synagogue should] decline any honors that are offered to you... they can't count you in the minyan
The Torah says "a Gentile is forbidden to observe the Sabbath or to make a Sabbath of their own"
You may disagree that Biden is a crypto Jew, but his Catholicism is certainly a farce - observed for politics only.
French news story about this:
Sure. Institutionalised Education is social engineering. I've been through many years of it. It took years for it to start wearing off, and I think for many it never does.
I'm not the top mod. But I am a mod. You contribute nothing here but spite and hatred.
Just saw that I wrote "there" instead of "they're". Oh well.
Some commentary by Christopher Langan, smartest man in the world (I guess), on this clip:
If this is popular, how about user voted "Memory-Holed" threads, like the way we do Round-Tables and Featured Documentaries?
Person 1: Are you vaccinated?
Person 2: Are you?
Person 1: Of course
Person 2 runs away
I did too at first
The vast majority of people who take the shot don't even consider something could go wrong from it. They would never realise themselves that the shot may be preventing them from becoming pregnant. People who are aware of this potential outcome and take it seriously are not getting the shot. If this is actually happening, it will be denied till the bitter end, and fought like hell by those in the know and useful idiots alike.
