Eclipse Special
Revelation Now
(as opposed to Apocalypse Now—less doomsaying, more insighting than inciting. Likewise, a nonviolent variant of “Revolution Now”).
Oh, look!
Planes flew into buildings.
Who knew?
Pipelines break, buildings burn.
Bridges falling down, it’s no nursery rhyme.
Presidents die. Shit happens.
If the Lights Go Dark
A speculation special, founded on some disturbing trends and precedents:
The Choice
‘Publicity is part of the program. Being drawn into their psychodrama, our fear response amplifies their power. Some are convinced that “exposing” them will bring justice. That if we allow ourselves to become obsessed and figure it all out, things will change. It won’t. Awareness is only valuable insofar as we know the underlying intention and use that knowledge to separate ourselves from the tools of mass control… Rather than allowing ourselves to be drawn to evil acts, our primary focus should instead be on building arks where goodness and beauty can flourish. —Benjamin Braddock

Countering the forces of darkness with networks of light. Is victory in sight?
20 Minutes to Untrust the Government
Ex Qantas Captain, Graham Hood's Powerful Witness Statement
Playing Ugly
Tyler Durden reports on ‘the widespread wokification of the video games industry. These firms threaten video game developers with the cancel-culture mob unless they hire said firm to "fix" their games for them.’
Mental Jellyfish
‘Inventions like TikTok, which I’m on record saying shouldn’t be banned, are designed to create mentally helpless users, like H addicts. If you stand there scrolling and thinking Next! enough, your head will sooner or later be fully hollowed out. You’ll lose the ability to remember, focus, and decide for yourself. There’s a political benefit in this for leaders, but more importantly there’s a huge commercial boon. The mental jellyfish is more susceptible to advertising (which of course allows firms to charge more) and will show less and less will over time to walk out of the Internet’s various brain-eating chambers.’ —Matt Taibbi
Clinton Body Count Exhumed
Sequestered in a back-to-land homestead in the ‘90s, I missed the political scandals of the time, and only later heard the phrase “Clinton body count” when Hillary’s campaign staffer Seth Rich was added to the list (for leaking the Podesta files). The documentary The Clinton Chronicles fills the gap with a blow-by-blow account of the unprosecuted crimes of the Arkansas governor and US president and his well-rewarded accomplices. Millions of dollars of money laundering and cocaine trafficking, hundreds of sexual liaisons, and a dozen (and counting) murders of witnesses and whistleblowers (beginning with two boys, stabbed in the back and bludgeoned to death), and even a House impeachment behind him, the king of corruption still walks free, with his harpy wife lurking in the wings of the political stage. A cowardly and complicit media has enabled the entire train of abuses with familiar spin that blames victims and defames truth-tellers. It’s a disturbing view, even if you thought you already knew the Shakespearean depths of the deep state’s depravity.
Digital $ Prison in a Nutshell
‘CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY SYSTEM (CBDC)
‘Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), tie the financial freedom of citizens to the government and the banking establishment. The central bank issues its centralized digital currencies, and essentially creates a new monetary system, "fiat on steroids", a system that takes everything that is bad in the fiat system, and adds more of it; surveillance, control, censorship, and enforcement capabilities. A modern prison? Indeed, the CBDC is the ultimate prototype of a prison without physical chains. By connecting CBDCs to digital identity cards, and to government systems such as universal basic income, social credits and more, we get the ultimate control apparatus. This apparatus will dictate to citizens what they’re allowed to purchase, what the permitted quotas are while limiting consumption according to rules and use cases, at programmed times, places and cadences. The system is able to determine the use of a geographic radius (geo-fencing), and to determine expiration dates on the money. Each remote controlled digital wallet can also be switched on and off by its operators. More than 130 countries are in the initial stages of piloting CBDC systems, of which 36 countries are in advanced pilots, and 3 countries have already launched systems (Nigeria, Jamaica and the Bahamas).’
‘At the same time, a charade is going on in the European Union Parliament where the dangers of CBDCs are being discussed, only thanks to the public awareness and discourse, while Lagarde rushes forward and kicks off the marketing campaign to instill in the public the following messages: the digital euro is easy, safe, fast and reliable. Not a word about its Orwellian capabilities to track, program, limit and condition activity through expiration dates, geo-fencing, and remote on and off switching.’
a white is a white is a white
‘White people love to feel good about feeling bad about being white.’ —Jared Taylor, The Unbearable Whiteness of Being Outdoors
Credulous, Corrupt, Complicit
‘Israel needed to manufacture a favourable political climate that would excuse its genocide in Gaza as necessary.
‘Netanyahu is shown congratulating Zaka’s leaders on their role in influencing world opinion: “We need to buy time, which we gain by turning to world leaders and to public opinion. You have an important role in influencing public opinion, which also influences leaders.”’
‘Israel and its partisans have unfettered access to western establishments, where they fabricate claims and smears that are readily amplified by a credulous press corps.
‘And those claims only ever work to Israel’s advantage, and harm the cause of ending decades of brutal subjugation of the Palestinian people by an Israeli apartheid regime now committing genocide.
‘Al Jazeera has once again shown that, on matters that western establishments consider the most vital to their interests – such as support for a highly militarised client state promoting the West’s control over the oil-rich Middle East – the western press is not a watchdog on power but the establishment’s public relations arm.
‘Al Jazeera’s investigation has not just revealed the lies Israel spread about 7 October to justify its genocide in Gaza. It reveals the utter complicity of western journalists in that genocide.’
—Jonathan Cook, We Were Lied Into the Gaza Genocide. al Jazeera Has Shown Us How
Those in control are dumber than their predecessors who were allowed to be more violent.
But even the past is full of their mistakes... Particularly how they studied humans. That's why all of this shit is ridiculous and is not convincing the majority of normal people.

Thx for the bits and links. Via "Basking in Gaia’s Light" found mention that the eclipse "...will weaken the artificial matrix or grid which has been created using electromagnetic frequencies, designed to disconnect us from our Gaia." Whatever the case, good reminder of the subtlety of energies and how to stay tuned-in with Earth, Sky and all manner of beings, which btw was one of the messages i got while outside during the eclipse...and birds were singing!, a variation of what Desmet says about "sincere speech", especially during 'dark times'.
