The Intrinsic Danger of the Truth - Vox Popoli

 Clown World wants its mindless subjects to believe that the people who keep correctly warning them about the lies and false histories of Clown World are an emerging threat vector:

In a world increasingly dominated by sensationalism and misinformation, conspiracy theories have found fertile ground to flourish. Dismissed by many as the ramblings of a paranoid few, these theories have long been relegated to the fringes of society. But the experts now warn that they are witnessing the emergence of a new threat vector: conspiracy theorists being proven right.

The exposure of government surveillance programs like PRISM, the revelations surrounding the secret experiments of MKUltra, and the acknowledgement of covert military operations like Operation Gladio, have all served as a sobering reminder that conspiracy theories are not always baseless. Darker still, we’ve even learned that the US government experimented with syphilis on Black folks and were the ultimate cause of the high rate of STDs among non-white populations.

More recently, the lab leak theory regarding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic has yet again sparked totally unnuanced “conspiracy theorists were right” discourse. While initially the lab leak theory was clamped down on for being a dangerous conspiracy theory, the hypothesis has — more or less by random chance — been the one to recently gain traction in expert opinions.

And while the true origins of the virus remain unclear, the fact that a modern conspiracy theory could potentially hold elements of truth has raised alarm bells among guardians of democracy like journalists and experts.

The specter of true conspiracy theories heralds profoundly dangerous implications for our ability to function as an open, inclusive, and equitable democratic society. As once-dismissed theories find validation, shadows of doubt are cast upon the credibility of the mainstream institutions and experts who set out to protect us to begin with.

The satanic nature of Clown World can always be identified by its invariable inversion of the truth. When Christians who hope to convince people to accept salvation from Hell are accused of doing so out of hate, when anti-vaxxers who try to convince people to avoid being injected with harmful substances are accused of doing so out of selfishness, and when those who speak the truth are accused of misleading people and spreading misinformation, it is very clear that wickedness is at work.

Furthermore if the truth casts doubt on the credibility of mainstream institutions and experts, then everyone is correct to reject those unreliable institutions and experts, and more importantly, ask questions concerning the nature of that unreliability.

"You Are the Winners" - Vox Popoli

 Scott Adams finally and unambiguously concludes that even the fanciest analytics are trumped by a heuristic based on instinctive distrust.

“The anti-vaxxers are clearly the winners at this point, and I think it will stay that way. And I don’t want to put any shade on that whatsoever. They came out the best. They have the winning position. The unvaccinated have an advantage. Because they feel better. The thing they’re not worrying about is what I have to worry about. I wonder if that vaccination five years from now.

“Because really, I think the antivaxxers were just really distrustful of big companies and big government. That’s never wrong! It’s never wrong to distrust government. It’s never wrong to distrust big companies. So if you just took the position let’s just distrust everything the government did, well, you won!

“You won, you won completely – I did not end up in the right place. Agreed? You would all agree with that, right? I did not end up in the right place. The right place would be natural immunity, no vaccination. You should take that as a victory, and I should take defeat. We could agree on that, right? That my position is now the weakest, and your position has gone from the weakest to the strongest, and we can just say that’s true. The people who didn’t get vaxxed are absolutely in the winning position.

“You win. You win! You are the winners. You are the winners. Let me say that part with no ambiguity. You won. You won. All of my fancy analytics got me to a bad place. All of your heuristics – don’t trust these guys, it’s obvious – totally worked.”
– Scott Adams

It doesn’t really feel like winning, to be honest. But give Scott credit, as unlike most vaccinated individuals, he is willing to come out publicly and declare that he made the wrong decision, explain that the various bases for that decision were unreliable, and admit that he will have to live the rest of his life under the shadow of the possible adverse effects of that decision.

This is very important, not for the satisfaction of his critics, but for Scott himself, because now he knows he has to embark upon an early-detection regime for cancer and be careful to avoid activities that will elevate his heart rate to now-dangerous levels. And it’s also important for his fellow vaccinated, because perhaps failing this test will give them the wherewithal to pass the next one.

Because the next one is definitely coming, sooner or later.

The fundamental failure in Scott’s syllogism was the assumption that lay beneath his logic. He assumed, incorrectly, that scientistry and scientage could be trusted. This is quite common in those who fail to distinguish between the three aspects of science and don’t understand that scientistry is not only not scientody, but these days, does not necessarily have any connection to scientody at all. And given the massive twin crises of reproducibility and corruption in scientistry, the fact is that the anti-vaxx position was always the strongest position all along, even from a secular materialist perspective.

The heuristic was even more clear, and even more obvious, for the Christian. Never, ever, trust the wicked. Not offering tickets, not riding a black horse, not wearing a white coat.

Understanding the Difference Between Credit and Real Money - By Alasdair Macleod

 Due to its abuse pariculaly by governments, it is credit which presents the greatest risk to our finances today. To appreciate why this is so requires an understanding of what credit represents, and how it differs from real money, which is physical gold without counterparty risk. Credit is always matched by debt: your financial asset is always someone else’s obligation. The collapse of credit’s value happens when a currency (which is also credit) is not attached by exchangeability to gold. That is the danger facing the entire dollar-based financial system today, now that we see the US dollar is ensnared in the US Government’s debt trap

.

Most people probably think that credit evolved after money in the form of coin, but that is incorrect. Credit existed long before, defined in the value of deliverable goods. A thousand years before Rome’s Twelve Tables, the Phoenicians traded throughout the Mediterranean and even as far as Cornwall, where they procured valuable tin. The Phoenicians would have had the same problems faced by businesses today. In order to undertake their trading ventures, they required credit, because they faced expenses before they returned from their voyages many months later with vendible products.

As Demosthenes, the Greek orator and statesman, contemporary of Philip of Macedonia and his son Alexander at the same time as Rome promulgated the Twelve Tables put it:

“If you were ignorant of this, that credit is the greatest capital of all towards the acquisition of wealth, you would be utterly ignorant”.

Perhaps even more so today, we rely on credit for every aspect of our lives. Legal money is hardly ever used — today never in the major advanced economies. But even in the past, it was subject to Gresham’s Law, hoarded and not spent.

Credit is synonymous with debt. It’s not just that we have banknotes and token coins (representative credit), and bank accounts (credit whether you are a depositor or borrower). But when you employ a workman, you enter into an obligation to pay him, which is your debt for which he allows you a matching credit until you discharge the obligation with another credit, either in the form of banknotes or a transfer of your credit at a bank to a credit at his bank. Alternatively, you might buy an airline or rail ticket in advance. You pay with your credit at your bank and the airline or rail company credits you with an obligation to provide a service at a future date. If you promise your son that you will pay his university fees and give him an allowance, you are entering into an obligation, the promise of credits to cover his or her future debt obligations for as long as he attends the university. Every transaction, every promise, every guarantee, involves incorporeal credit with matching debt obligations. Demosthenes certainly had a point.

The distinction between corporeal money and incorporeal credit is that the former exists physically (it has a corpus), and the latter is always created between consenting parties. The commentators who argue that bank credit should be banned appear to be unaware of the true extent of credit in the economy, and the inequity and futility of banning dealers in credit, which is the function of a commercial bank. Not only would nearly all trade cease, but a police state of the most draconian sort would be required to enforce it. And the monetarists who believe that money supply statistics define all the circulating media when they are just the tip of a far larger credit iceberg are also in error.

While the potential for chaos in credit values now exists, credit based on government credibility can function for a considerable time. But we must recognise that the politicians have high demands placed upon them which inevitably leads them to debauch the currency as a means of surreptitiously transferring wealth from the citizenry to the government so that it can discharge its obligations. In the last eighty years, they have even made a virtue of it, claiming variously that the quantity of credit should be expanded to stimulate economic activity, to ensure prices rise at a two per cent rate to bring forward consumption, and to artificially cheapen borrowings at the expense of savers. Slowly but surely, the inflationists have descended into the economics of unreason.

The effect on credit’s purchasing power relative to gold is illustrated in the chart below, which is of the major currencies’ purchasing power relative to gold, since the last vestiges of the link was abandoned by suspending the Bretton Woods agreement.

But debt and credit must take its value from something. At one level, it takes its value from a promise to deliver something else — a corporeal, immaterial, or other incorporeal property. But that assumes the purchasing power of credit is anchored against something else. In history, the value-anchor was always a corporeal entity such as gold. Instead, today it is anchored to another incorporeal asset — central bank credit, or banknotes. In other words, the entire structure of national credit hinges on the government’s credibility as issuer of currency obligations.

Furthermore, each jurisdiction has credit values which refer to different currencies, diverse incorporeal liabilities in the form of central bank banknotes. A common corporeal gold standard is replaced by potentially incorporeal chaos.

Since 1971, the dollar has lost 98% of its value relative to gold, and sterling has lost 99%. These currency debasements are measures of the loss of the value of subordinate credit so far under a fiat currency regime. Every transaction, every promise of a transaction, and every commitment to a future transaction has been devalued and will continue to be devalued so long as credit remains detached from corporeal money, which is gold.

HISTORY: The Great Replacement of History, Science & Medicine Posted on February 25, 2024 by Helena

 Hammurabi Law:   48. If any one owe a debt for a loan, and a storm prostrates the grain, or the harvest fail, or the grain does not grow for lack of water; in that year he need not give his creditor any grain, he washes his debt-tablet in water and pays no rent for this year .  ~ 2000 – 3000BC

What is interesting about this quote is that it is written in The Code of Hammurabi via the king of all gods Anu – in Hindu Mythology.   Once again giving rise to the ancient historical concept that mythology is actually reality and 21st century historians are devoid of Truth.   It is also interesting that all mythology seems to have greater detail than concrete history despite its dating 5,000 years ago.   For example:  We know more about mythologies than we do about King Tut.

Mythology:   a vast group of Legends about gods and goddesses, heroes and monsters and warriors and fools.  Which delineates our only known ancient history.

By contrast, the Caveman theory is based on – “Researchers have discovered the oldest fragments of the modern human genome, DNA from the 7000-year-old bones of two cavemen.”

In addition, scientists conclude that cave drawings are evidence that our entire ancestry were cavemen.   This theory has about as much factual basis as claiming that forest trees carved with inscriptions such as,  Claire Loves Bill, means they lived in the forest and scavenged for food…

The Caveman Theory was first proposed by Marcellin Boule, born 1861.   He based his theory on what was termed a Neanderthal specimen in 1910.  Boule characterized the specimen without any evidence and determined the basis of everything we now attribute to the theory – including a brutish appearance and a violent gorilla like demonstrative character.   Since then, this theory became fact, and ancient written history became ‘mythology’.

In fact, it was later determined that the Neanderthal specimen was an ape man – hence supporting the Darwinian “Theory” of Evolution.  And suddenly all representation of ancient history was renamed mythology.

Homer wrote of ancient history in the Iliad and The Odyssey depicting events from 1250 BC.   Homer is said to have lived sometime between the 12th and 8th centuries BC.   A vast discrepancy of time for ‘expert’ historians to guesstimate.   While Plato and Socrates took issue with Homers depiction of heroes, and the abilities of ancient gods, neither denied the ancient history of gods or declared them to be mythology.

When I was in grade school, we were taught that all ancient history depicted within the construct of gods was myth.  Yet, the cavemen theory was stipulated as truth as evidenced by the Darwinian evolution creed bearing absolutely no scientific observation or documentation to support the claim.   Indoctrination by default.  As Carl Sagan noted:   “Never underestimate the ignorance of the American People”.   Hence the context of “expertness” in everything.

The date 1910 for Boule is significant because it coincides with the Rise of The Rockefellers and Rothschilds in American Science.   And the value of “expertness”.

Who are these ‘experts’?  Are they gods?

Hardly.   They are persons considered to have authoritative knowledge based on competence,  education, and experience in a particular field.   Such as medicine and science and history.   Historically, science was considered a philosophy, medicine was based on curative properties, and history was based on mythology.   In 1910, all definitions changed.  The Rockefeller Institute declared all medicine other than theirs was ‘quackery’.   Ancient History was relabeled Darwinian Evolution.   And science became ‘theoretical fact’, while the concept of ‘observation’ was eliminated.

WHY?

Simply, Control.   Everything within our society, culture and economy was a narrative created as a universal globalist view that essentially dummy-downed critical thinking and knowledge.   As in The Great Replacement.

The Bible is the inerrant word of God.  Except, man has made over 30,000 changes to The Bible with 704 versions, the most recent being in 2011.   WHY?   Apparently, we can’t understand the original text and therefore verbiage must be altered to allow the ignorant to understand wording, phrases, context, and phraseology – to improve readability.

“In 303-304 AD, the Roman Emperor Diocletian ordered the burning of Bibles in an attempt to suppress Christianity. Thousands of copies were burned and any home with a Bible should have been destroyed.

Copies that survived the fire were distributed throughout the empire. The original Bible is lost to history.”

The oldest text of the entire Bible, including the New Testament, is the Codex Sinaiticus dating from the 4th century CE, with its Old Testament including a copy of a Greek translation known as the Septuagint.  This Codex resides at the Vatican.  75 books of the Bible are considered the apocrypha – Around the year 80 AD, the Jewish Council (Sanhedrin) decided to cut the books from the Hebrew Bible, but some stayed in the Catholic Bibles while in the 4th century, the Romans eliminated them from the Christian Bible.

The same Romans – whose first King, Romulus, was a mythological character.

TRUTH was replaced centuries ago.  China didn’t do it.   Russia didn’t do it.  Iran didn’t do it.   They are simply the scapegoats used to defraud, deflect and hide the cowards who are directly responsible for recreating everything within the doctrine of The Great Replacement in the vein of ‘finding a common enemy’ –  George Bush 9-11, and a False Doctrine for Ruling from the throne of Zion.

“Who Owns the World?” A Small Group of Big Money

BlackRock and Vanguard by 2028 will own 20 trillion dollars – about a fifth of the World's GDP

PETER KOENIG

 AND 

MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY

Introductory Note

Dear Readers,

We are living the Most Serious Economic and Social Crisis in World History.  It is an outright war against all humanity: the Planet’s 8 billion people. 

Engineered collapse of agriculture. 

Hikes in the price of energy.

Collapse in production and consumption. 

Poverty and Famine in all major regions of the World

 Peter Koenig Connects the Dots. He focusses on the powerful “Big Money Actors” who are pulling the strings in the shadows.

Peter skilfully explains how “Everything is Interrelated” starting with the Covid plandemic, the mRNA vaccine, the powers of Big Pharma and the Military Industrial Complex, the role of corrupt governments and, the destabilization of the Nation State, the wars in Ukraine and Palestine, the propaganda campaign all of which are overseen and controlled by the Big Money actors.

People in different countries are being impoverished simultaneously as a result of a deliberate process of “market manipulation”. It’s not the free market!

Starting with the corona crisis in late January 2020, the global crisis (2020-2024) –which is still ongoing– has literally disrupted and destroyed people’s lives Worldwide in the course of the last four years.

The scale and complexity of the 2020-2024 Global Economic and Social Crisis far surpasses all previous “depressions” including the 2007-2009 Recession which was categorized as the most serious economic meltdown since the Great Depression of 1929.

NYT Confirms Putin's Accusations - Vox Popoli

 Zerohedge summarizes the genuinely shocking expose by The New York Times concerning 12 secret US military basis inside Ukraine near the Russian border that have been there since 2016:

On Sunday The New York Times published an explosive and very belated full admission that US intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine wartime decision-making, but has established and financed high tech command-and-control spy centers, and was doing so long prior to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of two years ago.

Among the biggest revelations is that the program was established a decade ago and spans three different American presidents. The Times says the CIA program to modernize Ukraine’s intelligence services has “transformed” the former Soviet state and its capabilities into “Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin today.”

This has included the agency having secretly trained and equipped Ukrainian intelligence officers spanning back to just after the 2014 Maidan coup events, as well constructing a network of 12 secret bases along the Russian border—work which began eight years ago. These intelligence bases, from which Russian commanders’ communications can be swept up and Russian spy satellites monitored, are being used launch and track cross-border drone and missile attacks on Russian territory.

This means that with the disclosure of the longtime “closely guarded secret” the world just got a big step closer to WW3, given it means the CIA is largely responsible for the effectiveness of the recent spate of attacks which have included direct drone hits on key oil refineries and energy infrastructure.

“Without them [the CIA and elite commandoes it’s trained], there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” according to Ivan Bakanov, former head of the SBU, which is Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency.

A main source of the NYT revelations—disclosures which might come as no surprise to those never willing to so easily swallow the mainstream ‘official’ narrative of events—is identified as a top intelligence commander named Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy.

Clearly, Kiev and Washington now want world to know of the deep intelligence relationship they tried to conceal for over the past decade. It is perhaps a kind of warning to Moscow at a moment Ukraine’s forces are in retreat: the US is fighting hand in glove with the Ukrainians. And yet the revelations contained in the NY Times report also confirm what President Putin has precisely accused Washington of all along.

The Russians obviously know about these bases since they presumably have had control of them for most of the last two years. So, why is Washington suddenly admitting to them now? Are the neoclowns attempting to establish some basis for arguing that since the USA has been actively waging war on Russia for a long time, more aid and even direct military support for Ukraine is justified?

At some point, the anti-Russian Narrative is going to collapse, as one lie after another is exposed, and it eventually turns out that the Russians were doing nothing but telling the truth about The Empire of Lies and its activities in Ukraine all along.

It also documents how the CIA not only kept President Trump in the dark with regards to its anti-Russian activities, but consistently undermined him and his policies.
