Question Everything

Crises, like pandemics, don’t break things in and of themselves; they show you what’s already broken.

– Patrick Wyman

Big macro crises in any form are scary, massively disruptive, and in some cases, literally deadly. This is why governments and entrenched institutions always see such events as opportunities to further consolidate wealth and power.

The current global pandemic is no exception, as I detailed in last week’s piece: Power Grab. While it’s necessary to be aware of this reality — and to push back against it wherever possible — it’s equally important to recognize there’s a silver lining to all of this.

The paradigm we live under depends on us not thinking too hard about how power functions. It relies on us being so busy with the basics of survival, or distracted by superficial consumerism and endless entertainment, to contemplate how the system actually works. This method of social control has been wildly successful throughout my lifetime, but what’s interesting about moments of global crises is the mask is forced off for a period. In a desperate scramble to marshal all of the corporate-imperial state’s resources to save the interests of the oligarchy, we’re shown in full color who really matters and who doesn’t.

You do not matter. The imperial state doesn’t care about you. Oligarchs don’t care about you. Mega corporations don’t care about you. This truth is cleverly hidden from much of the public during “normal” times when the machine is humming along as intended, but it’s far more in your face during a crisis period. It’s much harder to hide the truth when the world gets turned upside down.

Aside from the grotesque spectacle of the U.S. government funneling all of its resources toward propping up Wall Street and large corporations, this crisis has exposed the rot and disfunction in another meaningful way. Our health experts, ostensibly there to help the public navigate exactly this sort of event, have failed us in spectacular fashion.

This is what political actors masquerading as experts do in a crisis. They either give bad advice, or intentionally mislead the public to hide the fact the U.S. simply doesn’t have adequate mask supply and sent its manufacturing capacity overseas. Which brings up an important topic worthy of further discussion: the crucial distinction between experts and expertise.

An “expert” in our society is someone with expertise in a particular field who’s been propped up by either the media, government or both as an authoritative source to listen to on a particular topic. This individual’s elevated stature is artificially created by an external source that’s selected this particular person as someone you should listen to. It tends to be a political appointment. This person has been chosen, not only because he or she has expertise (many others also do), but due to other attributes that appeal to those who’ve decided to prop them up. Anyone who’s worked in corporate America knows full well that many of those promoted to middle management, or higher, often end up there not because they’re particularly skilled, but because they’re good at playing politics and know the right ass to kiss. The same is true in all large organizations, and government is no exception.

In the days before the internet and social media, the public might know that government/media experts were behaving dishonestly, but didn’t have realtime access to competitive nonpolitical voices with equal or superior expertise to the government experts. What many of us discovered during this pandemic is people with expertise engaging publicly on Twitter provided far better and more timely advice than the government/media experts. This makes perfect sense because these people tend to not be political actors, but rather humans attempting to share information in an honest and selfless manner. If we’ve learned anything in the 21st century, it’s that actual track records don’t matter when it comes to media and government positions. In fact, the more catastrophically wrong you are in the interests of oligarchy, the more likely you are to be promoted and elevated.

Fortunately, I entered this crisis with a well established distrust of mass media and government, and therefore knew better than to look toward their experts for any useful guidance. Rather, I sought out the opinions of various nonpolitical individuals with relevant expertise who helped me see things for how they were very early on. Others have not been as lucky, but will no doubt emerge from this crisis with a deep distrust of established institutions and individuals, and with very good reason.

We’ve just witnessed a catastrophic failure of the centralized state in America, and the blowback will resonate within the larger culture for years if not decades. Similar to how many people were shaken to their core during the financial crisis a decade ago, I think this pandemic event will lead to an even larger wave of people awakening to how completely rotten, pernicious and corrupt the whole system is. Once you see that reality in all its glory, you can’t unsee it.

Of course, recognizing how broken things are isn’t enough. We need to have a thoughtful conversation about what we have too much of versus what we need. If we’re going to change the world, we need a vision. I have some thoughts on the matter.

Nothing is set in stone. The world as it is today is not some divine eternal paradigm beyond reproach. Humans shape the world through their choices, actions and mentality.

For additional thoughts on that and much more, check out my recent interview with Tales From the Crypt.

  1. I’m in heavy agreement with Krieger’s assessment and his short list of needs and rejections. That said I still see the vast majority as simply almost totally unaware or even less caring of where they are being herded. For the aware minority to fight back they must not only rail against the authorities and their pyramid cap psychopathic killer controllers but also against the much larger ‘normies’ who in their cowardice and in the final call will support the authorities and turn viciously on their fellow citizen who is intent on preserving human rights as much as able. The test as someone said is between tyranny and freedom, played out across a wide spectrum of fronts. In the end it is well that we understand that “the state exists to enforce the dominance of elites, EVERYTHING else is propaganda, misinformation, obfuscation” or terrorism up to and including total war on any people for any reason. What the pyramid cap wants is more power, more control and more wealth (as a zero sum game) at any cost to other’s lives or life support systems. If we all rototilled our yards and grew vegetables as most did in the 1930s Great Depression and this threatened the ‘cap’ they would have ordinance passed outlawing such activities with penalties commensurate to the threat. We must of course try to enact local economies but if the state means to violently shut such practices down we are ultimately left with little choice. The ‘cap’ is likely thinking four moves ahead and has likely determined almost exactly when the people will resort to armed violence in an effort to secure their vanishing freedoms. We all know this is true if we care to think on such topics rather than entertaining “if onlys.” There are some very hard choices to be made and those choices made with courage may springboard an easy win of human freedoms by standing strong or conversely if made in weakness spell the end of the human freedom experiment such as it has been since the idea of government became a reality of our collective history.

    May you enjoy your journey and good luck to all.

    • Very good comment BRF. I do not have faith in the common person having a capacity to push back on authority. I doubt they can even comprehend the threat. With that said, the “pyramid caps” can easily move society in whatever direction is suitable to achieve their goals.

  2. Great insight as usual. What we as scociety really need to move back to the land , yet vile people like BILL GATES & his ilk , want us all implanted , like chickens on a factory farm !
    These people , I hope will see how cultures of the past dealt with this megalomaniac pond scum !

  3. Thanks MK, we appreciate your hard work and timely summaries of our current global environment.
    As Michael and BFR states we face a daunting task of a long well established oligarchy who has socially engineered a mass majority of the public to heel under any and all top down orders.
    It is sometimes overwhelming and hopelessness and despair can certainly set in, I am prone to anger and frustration in the simple fact that it just doesn’t have to be this way.
    In the end regardless of this great challenge, I will do what I can to be part of the solution and for as long as is possible do it in actions that promote peaceful outcomes. In the end all I really want is to live in peace, in the “pursuit of happiness “ in harmony and balance with my planet and it’s fellow inhabitants.
    Plant your gardens, know your neighbors, create localism anew, and just in case learn to be a rifleman. We can do this, it is worth it and the sacrifice will bring us back together, giving us humans a deep and meaningful purpose, I want a better world for you and for my kiddo and for myself.

  4. I was reading Zulugrove and Black Cat’s comments (always interesting) here and this got me to thinking on two important posts I’ve come across lately that strongly suggest that matters will not be completely going back to the old normal post virus. The sign posts are everywhere that the pyramid cap is all in on this event.
    The rollout is beginning now with this event!

    • I watched the first link, and although I have been aware of this issue for a long time I hadn’t revisited the “global government “ situation for a while. The depth and breadth of the organization, money and time spent just to have created that “world economic forum” web site, which covers ever aspect of human existence should show everyone the extent of how deeply and long term this thinking of world domination and control goes. This is the event “They “ have been waiting for, it is absolutely that serious! Full global spectrum dominance is being implemented right now. I suggest everyone get to know the actors of this world assault by Name and Face, all the businesses/governments and the individuals behind it. Our lives, freedoms and liberties will depend on it.

    • It is always interesting to know who if anyone ever looks at posted links. I found the information in these links highly disturbing. I lost some sleep in the process of trying to understand the troubling depths of what this information dump is harbinger of. I came to much the same conclusions as you but perhaps with a darker opinion of how the implementation of various agenda will be carried out. Such as against the anti-globalists-anti-sustainable development persons among us. The yellow vests and the old # Occupy crowd and other dissidents like the anti-vax groups (Children’s Health Defense etc.) and you name them. This with the omnipresent call by the pyramid cap for a reduction in the human population of around 90%. In the USA from about 350 million down to about 35 million. 315 removed from going forward one way or another, to give some idea of the significance of the numbers. In Canada for those folks reading here, from 35 million down to 3.5 million.

      As a ‘boomer’ I was hoping my time allotment would run out before my having to make those truly tough decisions in the direct face of a tyrannical state ordering compliance or else. Yes, being a bit self centered and cowardly to the coming approach of tyranny but it now looks like I won;t get to weasel my way to my grave before being brought to account of my personal accountability in the face of consequences. Not that I can’t steel myself to the apparent road ahead as I led a rousing discussion of outrage by everyone , except one person, in the line up to buy groceries yesterday. So the old fire is still there if a little unused as far as anywhere near full capacity goes. My activism since retiring has consisted of pamphleteering at bank branches and recently at the local mall over this world spanning psyop in a battle for the hearts and heavily programmed minds of the normies.

      Anyway it is still a beautiful world we inhabit so don’t forget to get out and enjoy what nature has provided or whatever it is that recharges your energy levels.

    • Obviously you did not bother to vet who is behind ‘nextstrain’ or whether those that are may have an event bias. Then again perhaps you are sponsoring an agenda with an huge NWO bias.

    • Then BRF, we can assume you don’t have a bank account, credit card, cell phone, pay taxes or shop at any major grocery/store chain… we all have necessary, unavoidable connections to the Deep State and various corporate ne’erdowells . Is there such a thing as a “fair trade” computer that doesn’t have any backdoors and exploits no one it its manufacture?

      Occasionally the DS/MIC actually reveal the truth, often when it is considered too complex for the great unwashed to comprehend, let alone act on. While the data nextstrain uses may be somewhat incomplete or skewed by poor gathering/categorization, it is certainly not as purposefully corrupt on COVID-19 as the current dance-of-the-seven-veils the MSM/gov’ts are engaged in. The tracking of mutations aspect has obviously withstood peer-review.

      The most important aspect of this site is REVEALING just how granular the available data is, showing unequivocally the fact the minor mutations in the genome provide an accurate history of the transmission of the virus. Eventually this will be trace back to the real origin (I’m sure China already knows where/when the original strain was created/released, even if they are only publicly hinting at that). Multiple “origin” sites in one city where dozens of US military personnel were engaged in games two weeks before the outbreak? Where the US team placed something like 35th??!!! Obviously the US wasn’t sending their best and brightest for this mission. Perhaps the soldiers didn’t know they were infected, then selected for their lack of symptoms, more than their athletic prowess… This is the same country that the gov’t officially thinks Building 7 fell into its own basement due to a fire fueled by “office furnishings”. A gov’t that obviously operates on the “If you’re going to lie, lie big, repeat the lie often”. Pompeo openly admitted it.

      Bio-weapon creators have learned a little trick, repeatedly reinfecting a suitable host animal/organism to hide the increasingly obvious genetic engineering snips and patches. This makes the pathogen SEEM to be of “natural ” origins. I can’t put my hand on the link to this research right this instant but it is not new.

      nextstrain may well be part of the Deep State push for 100% mandatory vaccinations, but that doesn’t change the fact that this technology potentially, possibly unintentionally, takes another layer of the Emperor’s Clothes off.

    • AP, I confess it was me who took down Building 7, I was cooking hot dogs on the office fires and I spilled my zippo lighter fluid when I was lighting my joint.
      I don’t know the site AP and BRF are discussing but will check it out.
      AP makes a good point about the US military and bio weapons, search it. They (cia/US military) have been proven to have used bio-weapons and chemical experimentation on both foreign and US citizens, including our own military throughout our relatively modern history. This is absolutely a reasonable inquiry into the possibility of all of this being a strategically planned event. Maybe it’s not, but we don’t know that it isn’t and that’s the fucking problem!

  5. One thing still troubles me about the virus fallout. Yes, more people are waking up to the corruption in the financial sector, the government, and TBTF corporations. However, they don’t seem much closer to finding a solution for any of this.

    As long as people still believe in the red/blue game, little progress will be made. This doesn’t just apply to the true believers who think their team is great, it’s for the hordes of “lesser evil” people who still see a huge difference between the parties, even if they don’t really love either one.

    The solution is a paradigm change like MK mentions, a society that is no longer run by central banks and powered by massive debt. Change is inevitable, but whether it comes through a public awakening or ultimately economic collapse remains to be seen. Unfortunately, it still seems most people are perfectly content to sit on their hands and wait for the latter.

    • I agree to your post entirely, but you realize your talking about massive bloodshed and years of civil war ?
      These comfortable first world citizenship doesn’t have the guts ,the nerve , the will , or the character, to even think of going down that road !
      Sounds lovely but as you & I know …. it’s a pipe dream !

    • “It still seems most people are perfectly content to sit on their hands and wait for the latter.”

      Believe me. There are lots of people who are not sitting on their hands, and their numbers are increasing daily.

      Lot’s people who I deal, and have dealt with for a long time. Who would never bring up the topics we have all been discussing here for years, have been saying things to me completely unprompted that sound like they’ve been on LB and it’s brethren sites. But they haven’t. The Aether that binds men’s minds, is far more powerful than the internet.

      As I’ve said before here just recently- but before this BS started, They’re cards are all face up on the table, and that shows you how truly scared and desperate they’ve become. It’s ridiculously transparent. This just was an attempt to knock over the table “by accident” before they lost their huge hand.

      Have no fear, and have patience, folks. Fear is always anyone’s worst enemy period. But especially in a contest of will.

    • There seems to be a problem with the provider of the comments section service. I’ve made replies at length and had them not post. Last time I wrote out a second lengthy reply only to then have the first reply show up upon posting the second. This has happened again with a reply to AP that never materialized. If the community here is going to be able to communicate with one another, or debate a point, then the comment section needs to operate properly.

    • It’s Vegas, Dude. “The armpit of America”.

      I’m surprised they didn’t take them 100 miles out into the desert and dump them in the middle of the night, to fend for themselves.
