Whilst the article is well constructed and definitive, it is far too extensive for most readers to absorb. The majority of Substack readers are accessing such posts on tiny cellular phone screens. The cellular phone device was *intentionally* designed to impair cognitive processing. I digress...

This quote came to mind as I was reading the article: >>>

“There is no doubt that the development is going in the direction of a single World trust which will swallow up all enterprises and all states without exception. But the development in this direction is proceeding under such stress, with such a tempo, with such contradictions, conflicts and convulsions not only economical, but political national, etc. etc — that before a single world trust will be reached, before the respective financial national capitals will have formed a “World Union” of ultra imperialism, imperialism will explode and capitalism will turn into its opposite.” >>> Introduction to Imperialism and World Economy >>> by Nikolai Bukharin >>> (Printed in the US, Russian Edition, November 1917)

1. agree with your first paragraph, especially the 3rd sentence.

2. as for the passage you quoted, compared to what Esc projects, Nikolai Bukharin's prediction sounds preferable. i doubt he could have imagined how rapid the pace of change would be 100 yrs later. even i can hardly believe it.

Thanks yantra. When I first came upon Mr. Bukharin's work, I was stunned by his objective views regarding social and financial decays of his time. I didn't agree with his 'curative' assumptions, but his analyses were quite correct. He was eventually *neutralized* by operatives within Stalins alleged dictatorship...

The current - accelerated processes of political decay, are directly due to corporate syndication (racketeering) and Trusts controlled by financial oligarchy. Thank you for your awareness. Best regards.

AI systems still make a lot of mistakes.

People still cut in line.

That's nothing new and not shocking me any more too much.

But waht's interesting : Nobody sofar has written about the speed with which denial or acceptance is checked in todays digital world.

Ever thought what esc's revelation - or better repetition of the already known future - means in the context of stock exchange ? Do we really believe that the system people having access to the latest tech velocity already today refrain from using this advantage in the context of financial trading ?

All's rigged already now . . .

Global Gulag in the making. This we know.

What will we do about it?

When will we stop bleating and start biting?

Who needs to be led will be bled.

My prediction is we will do nothing. When sheer survival and being able to eat depends on compliance people will gladly comply. Each time I fly I opt out of the facial scan as there is a sign right there by the camera saying this is optional. Yet I’m the only one who opposes it. I then opt out of the cancer radiation scan and have to get molested with a highly intrusive pat down. Again I never see anyone else opt out. People are sheep and sheep get slaughtered and they are taking down those of us like me who are awake with them.

RSOH, if we were in the same airport "security" line, you'd have company: Me. :) I, too, am the only one (unless traveling with my husband) who opts out. I'm at a loss...

Thank you and your husband for understanding the agenda and refusing to comply.

Speaking of “security” your comment just reminded me. I don’t vote for either party so this is not meant as political but I did read about an air marshal whistle blower who said ever since the Jan 6th “insurrection” (clearly a FED setup if you investigated it and the fact that Ashley did not get shot) that every single air marshal had been diverted to following any person who had flown into either airport in the DC area around the dates of 1/6 give or take a few days. Not just the person(s) who flew into the airport on legitimate business or vacation travel but their family members were followed on any flights they took afterwards as well even if they didn’t fly to DC around J6. I read this maybe a year ago so several years later and all Marshalls were doing nothing but following innocent people just because they had a flight scheduled around the J6 timeline. So all your extended family has been followed on flights and probably followed after landing to monitor what they are doing and where they are going. This has nothing to do with security as the agencies staged that false flag event. It is why people like Ray Epps were not arrested even though he’s on camera multiple times telling people to go in. You can go to bitchute.com and search it up as well as the fake Ashley shooting. They were all crisis actors and in on it. I was floored when an independent alt media journalist slowed down the video and broke it down. You can see them changing vest colors, using fake blood packets, patting one another on the back to gesture you’re up now for your part, etc. it’s like this ICE shooting last week. She didn’t die either after I researched that one. It’s all to divide us and create the means for a police state for the NWO agenda.

Indeed. Thus, my closing statement.

History is, however, not made or shaped by majorities but by the committed few......

I'm on the same page, all alone out there. Just like 2020 & 2021. The only one in my town with a naked face. Never wore a mask.

Thanks for the tip. TSA has not stopped one single so called terror attack because there is practically no threat. 911 was an inside job from Jizrahell and the US. No planes were used that day. It’s all about the slow boiling police state to remove more rights and freedoms. They have to create emergencies else people would not voluntarily relinquish their rights.

Let's try on an old metaphysical observation.

Time and Growth patterns are cyclical; we operate under the laws of Nature, algorithms of growth that have proven most efficient for survival. Survival of the Process, not the blip-on-the-radar small monad units (you and me).

Every system that appears passes through birth, freshness, vitality and growth. Thence into sustainability, flowering to fruiting, replication of self; then into increasing rigidity, self-poisoning, decline and collapse. The elements are composed, recomposed and new growth appears. Old Wine in New Bottles. Meet the New Boss; same as the Old Boss.

I come at this through 80 years of observation. And a practice using nootropics, entheogens, and energy & meditation practices to try and discover: WHY do I behave as I do? HOW do I know what I feel I know? What is the nature of perception? Why am I driven to keep seeking some goal or pleasures just out of reach? How free is my so-called free will? Is this a simulation?

When you calm the system, get the modules harmonized as best possible, minimize the instinctual algorithmic chatter (hunger, sex, fear, hoping and groping)....you may land in a clear space and discover that whatever is this force that animates you (consciousness as electricity self organizing) you discover we're all nodules on an interconnect Tree System, each fretting about "will I survive?" But beneath that, we find we are actually the sap (sapiens, self-knowingness) of the Tree structure. You think, in your temporary state of apparent separateness, that this Process is all about "you" doing whatever you want, of being "free" to go littering your shit around the place so you can seek "fulfillment."

And that's where the Buddhas begin their self-examination. Ultimately to find they are pure Mind that identifies with whatever body or vessel, structure, it flows into. Just as electrical flow is what animates machinery. I am a TV, I am a blender, I am this persona.

We're equivalent to microbes in the gut, we're microbiota in the bowels of Gaia.

Nature operates through expansion and contraction; solve et coagula. In breath and out breath. Oscillation waves of periodicity. Smaller units organize up into larger more complex systems; which then become more efficient, faster communication and trade. Natural cycle. But then Coagula starts becoming rigid, a prison. Eventually the compression causes an irrepressible tension that explodes out. The Seed bursts.

It's Asimov's Foundation: Empire vs. randomity ("freedom")

You can't pick sides. It's a paradoxical logic. We're on this ride and can't get off. The Taoist watches the patterns and accepts that it is inevitable that we will arrive, once again, at this choke point.

Humans are just not that fucking great, or smart, and it sure looks like the PTSD baggage and models in our current Matrix,...going back 6,000 years on the Cycle patterns, are a Gordian Knot we cannot untangle.

So Who is making this happen with such acceleration? Nature, not any group, although those higher up may think they are directing the Story. Above the politicians and bureaucrats are the corporations, then the banks, then the Old Blood line super rich. But they employ intelligence agencies and military; and these see themselves as the arbiters. Dip into some woo, and the intel agencies are driven by higher Black Ops technicians of the Breakaway civilizations like MJ-12, who interface with off planet ET intelligences... and up the Pyramid or Ziggurat of Beings we go! Keep tracking and ultimately Cosmos takes on the Self-Circulating form of Oroboros: a System reorganizing through feedback loops and reformatting ITself Anu (Anew!)

You can fight outwardly all you like, but change and turmoil is inevitable. Besides, is there really any earlier period in history you would actually rather live in? Stop being a romantic. Beat your head against the wall until you surrender to Change. Only peace I see is to go deep within and connect with yourself at Source as Consciousness ever flowing.

In spite of its length, an impressive resume of what has been going on these past 130 year or so.

So, using the suggested analogy of 'spaceship earth', how to define, with economy and reasonable precision, just who exactly is 'in the cockpit'?

My suggestion: 'The synagogue of satan' - a euphemistic ID with a similar timespan

You need to read my 21st edition, because the USA does control weather. See it at

It's pretty damned scary and irrational, from all sides. There is *another* aircraft in carrier on its way to Iran from the Pacific. (Carriers are an obsolete weapons platform that Iranians can blow to, "Smithereens," -- a Bugs Bunny word that always sounded like an exaggeration. Until über-destructive, accurate, and impossible to shoot down hypersonic missiles came along.)

The Iranians, Chinese, and Russians all have them. We don't have any.

We've got about a week until the USN carrier group, Abraham Lincoln, joins the Roosevelt carrier group. Utterly senseless that it looks like the war propaganda is being ramped up to normalize our belligerence. So Netanyahu can misuse Americans to attack Iran, in the same way that NATO has normalized the continuing sacrifice of conscripted, kidnapped off the streets, Ukrainians.

For most of the last four years.

In the meantime, in the streets of Minneapolis, a Federal combat force of way overpaid (100k to 200k/year) barely literate knuckle draggers, goons, and misdirected mooks outnumbering the city's police force, is kidnapping people off our own streets.

To distract attention, and keep people from even noticing what we're about to do (?) in West Asia.

At the same time that we're condoning continuing mass murder (there is no more ceasefire) in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan.

Nobody is reporting from, "on the ground," how many people have been killed in Sudan. But researchers at Yale University, using satellite imagery, have reported that piles of bodies and pools of blood are, in fact, visible from Space.

It's all completely unreal, and yet, despite the silence from corporate media -- who want you to keep on focusing on Team Blue vs Team Red -- this self-destructive, anti-Peace and anti-Prosperity agenda has been in the works for at least the last 30 years. While Americans have been kept as busy as cats chasing laser pointers, reacting to one media outrage narrative, after another. While the crime lord architects of all these atrocities and deceptions have been getting wealthier and wealthier, the whole time. And hiding behind Clinton, Dubya, Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump, again; to pull off their heists. The latest grift is Trump's proposal to increase the Defense budget to 1.5 T.

[After he got himself elected by suggesting, that with a little sagacious deal-making with Russia and China, the Defense budget could be cut in half.]

That's the crux of the problem. Ours is an MIC-run permanent war economy. The only things we manufacture anymore, that really matter to the Overlords, are advanced weapons systems, and one manufactured war, after another.

The approaching, hyped-up, civil war in our own streets could be the last. When things get totally out of hand, that's when the Oligarchs will finally be ready to deploy Artificial Intelligence and their control over our Information Architecture and payment systems, and lock us all up, forever, in a digitized, authoritarian Technocracy.

Carbon scam died years ago!

The Supreme Commander pulled out of the climate talks almost a decade ago and ChomoJoe never sent anyone despite his alignments.

We just 96ed membership (and likely sponsorship in a few of them) of 66, read that: SIXTYSIX clubs and cabals. This is independant of DOGE!!

The commies are scurrying like roaches! This is the best TV in 22,000 years, oh yeah!
