INTRODUCTION: As it’s been a month since my last post, please bear with me for my latest, for two reasons: 1) it’s a long essay! and, 2) some of the information is quite frankly alarming, but if you persist to Part 3, you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel (and no, it isn’t an oncoming train). In the comments, please let me know if you prefer longer articles to be broken up into multiple posts.
1. Just Burn ’em Out
I had a dream last night
What a lovely dream it was
I dreamed we all were alright
Happy in a land of Oz
Why did everybody laugh
When I told them my dream
I guess they all were so far
From that kind of scene
Feeling mean—John Sebastian, “I Had A Dream”
A lovely dream indeed, and one that inspired the Woodstock generation to believe a better future was possible for humanity. Sadly, more than 50 years later, we are farther from that dream than ever. As Joni Mitchell was singing already by 1970, “They won’t give peace a chance / that was just a dream some of us had.” (“California,” from Blue) Worse, the Deep State and its global cabal is now in open warfare against its citizens. Under the terms of the Geneva Convention, it is considered a war crime to deliberately target civilians during a conflict, not that anyone cares anymore in this ethically vacuous age. As often happens in late stage empires in terminal decline, the rule of law is subsumed to the rule of power, summed up in the expression, “one law for me, and another for thee.”
More and more evidence seems to be emerging that this summer’s deadly wildfires have largely been the product of arson. Wall Street financier Edward Dowd, in an interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,[1] noted that normally the emergency sirens are tested weekly on Maui, yet during the current firestorm, no alarms of any kind were heard. Hawaii governor Josh Green may have let the truth slip accidentally when he spoke at a press conference of a “bomb and fire that went off.” Most strangely, as Dowd mentioned in his interview, somehow the fire jumped the harbour to set boats on fire, images show a literal ring of fire around Lahaina, and satellite photos of burned residential areas show only buildings and cars destroyed while all the trees remain intact.[2] The suggestion in an article by Europe Reloaded is that Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) have been used. While I don’t agree with everything in this article, it raises some important questions. Oddly for someone so highly intelligent and well-informed, RFK Jr. in his interview with Dowd opts for a conclusion based on local ecosystem mismanagement creating tinder dry conditions ideal for a fire.
Once again, mainstream media spouts the standard narrative, “it’s catastrophic climate change that’s to blame.” However, as Mark Crispin Miller so succinctly puts it, “What kind of ‘wildfires’ burn in a perfect circle, and JUMP OVER WATER, igniting all the boats? Does ‘climate change’ do that? Or is it geoengineering, meant to LOOK LIKE ‘climate change,’ and scare us into giving up our lives, to ‘save the planet’?”[3] Retired Nova Scotian forester and fire investigator Peter MacIsaac said in a recent interview that the evidence also points to the Quebec fires all erupting simultaneously, something he described as “an impossibility in nature.”[4] So far only the independent media and reporters like Clayton and Natali Morris of Redacted are questioning the origin of these disastrous fires and suggesting a link to the WEF agenda.[5]
It’s highly suspicious that the areas targeted are home to people who have steadfastly refused to sell their properties to real estate developers, families that have in some cases lived there for more than a century. So in the terms of the New Normal for the global cultists—better known as Fascism 2.0—just burn the fuckers out. So what if people die? These are just considered “acceptable losses” in a military action, or what used to be called “collateral damage.” Exactly as Ghengis Khan or any other psychopathic tyrant from history would do as they swept down with overwhelming force on unsuspecting populations, killing and burning as they went. That said, this disclaimer from Substacker The Naked Emperor is worth inserting here:
“We’ll never know if the fires on Maui were caused by DEWs but I doubt it. It’s far more likely that they were caused by arson, dry vegetation or negligent fire and forest management. However, Covid has made everyone sceptical of the official narrative (which is a good thing) but which sometimes means they are pushed too far the other way (which is not good). Still, we should all be aware of DEWs as their abilities are terrifying and they could be used by foreign powers in any future wars.” [6]
This is no longer science fiction. The Naked Emperor article embeds a 2020 promotional video from weapons manufacturer Lockheed-Martin explaining the potential of DEWs in military applications, making it clear that they already possess laser weapons technology. At very least, Maui residents deserve a thorough forensic investigation into the causes of these fires. But it would take someone as courageous, intelligent and committed to a high standard of truth and integrity as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As to skepticism being “pushed too far the other way,” I’ve written before about the fact that Mattias Desmet has stated in his book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, that the tendency to “mass formation” applies equally to political leaders as well as those in resistance movements.[7]
Aldous Huxley was right to say in the 1950s that Western society would see a future where it’s not necessary to burn books because no one will be interested in reading them, that people would be coddled rather than coerced into loving their chains. However, since Covid the sugarcoating is off and the iron Orwellian fist emerges from its Huxleyan velvet glove. As I’ve been saying for years now—well before the “pandemic”—to the political and economic elites the feudal world of medievalism was “the good old days.” As David Bell wrote for the Brownstone Institute:
“…many powerful people were anxious that individual freedom had grown beyond acceptable bounds. They longed for the settled patterns of the old order that still had traces of feudalism. This mindset can be found in Schwab and Malleret’s (2020) book COVID-19: The Great Reset. Reflecting this desire to return to old certainties, the public health response to COVID-19 can be construed as a tool to restore the old order in which a pliant public accepts official information as true without question and obeys leaders who impose top-down controls. This renewal of past ideals now also requires public obedience to mega-corporations that are concentrating wealth, as with past aristocracies, at the expense of freedom.” [8]
It’s a nostalgic nihilism that’s driving their current agenda of destruction. What could be a more medieval sentiment than the World Economic Forum’s “you will own nothing and be happy”? Yep—serfs, who do not even own their own bodies, in the trial run for the medical branch of Fascism 2.0 that was Covid. As Huxley predicted, the social conditioning of the past 78 years since World War II has softened people up to passively accept their own rape and pillage—both mental and literal. David Bell again:
“Public health staff from societies with an increasing distance from death and greater fear of it, coupled with a misunderstanding of the importance of vaccine-based responses, were primed to succumb to fear and believe in a pharmacological ‘fix.’ … The basic tenets of public health could not have been ‘forgotten.’ Something changed in public health leadership and the way in which staff worked that permitted this knowledge to be ignored and deliberate mass harm to be wrought. … The COVID-19 response has broken down the barriers to a new and authoritarian approach to international public health. The concept of forcing mass behavioral change, suspending basic human rights, and coercing mass vaccination has been moved into the mainstream, while populations have become accustomed to censorship and public vilification of dissenters and non-compliers.”[9]
In other words, we are being sleepwalked straight into Fascism 2.0. To which we might add Huxley’s own words: “Medical science has made such tremendous progress there is hardly a healthy human left.” As to the fear of death that followed in the wake of Christianity’s collapse in Western society, historian Arnold Toynbee predicted this when he said: “Even in Western countries this phobia about death is recent. It is no older than the advance of medical science that has lengthened the expectation of life…”[10] James LeFanu said something similar in his important 1999 book, The Rise and Fall of Modern Medicine.[11]
2. A History of Elite Arrogance and Psychopathy
As it turns out, all of this was predicted, not just by fiction writers like Orwell and Huxley, but by the very elites now carrying out their scorched earth policy. As just one of many such documents, one titled “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars” was apparently discovered July 7, 1986, unintentionally left in an IBM copier that had been purchased at a surplus sale. The document, dated May 1979, purports to be “the doctrine adopted by the Policy Committee of the Bilderburg Group during its first known meeting in 1954.” The Foreword to the report states that it is a kind of “training manual” used by the “CIA Training Center.” “This manuscript was delivered to our offices by an unknown person. We did not steal the document, nor are we involved with any theft from the United States Government… It has been authenticated by four different technical writers for Military Intelligence…”[12] Unfortunately, no author is attributed for the introductory material or the document itself. However, a scanned copy of the original document is available on the Internet Archive.[13] In case you think my theme of an elite war on its citizens is paranoid or overblown, here are the words of the report’s anonymous authors:
“It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (silent weapons) on a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives of social control and destruction of human life, i.e., slavery and genocide. This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must be secured from public scrutiny. Otherwise, it might be recognized as a technically formal declaration of domestic war.”
Another prefatory note in the document titled “Welcome Aboard,” as one might to an airline passenger or a convention delegate, adds: “This publication marks the 25th anniversary of the Third World War, called the ‘Quiet War,’ being conducted using subjective biological warfare, fought with ‘silent weapons.’” The document notes that this militaristic philosophy arose from “Operations Research, a strategic and tactical methodology developed under the Military Management in England during World War II.” Chillingly, it states that, “It was soon recognized by those in positions of power that the same methods might be useful for totally controlling a society. But better tools were necessary,” those tools being social engineering. This social engineering was to be accomplished in part through the manipulation of the postwar economy to produce a race of passive consumers. With the invention of mass communication devices such as television, this consumptive ethos could be ingrained and continually reinforced, just as Huxley said in a 1958 TV interview with a young Mike Wallace. This is the “slavery” component mentioned in “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.”
As I’ve written in my essay, “Means and Ends: Our Broken Ethical Compass,” the “genocide” portion was delivered through a eugenics agenda that was merely put on temporary hold following the atrocities of the Nazis. Yet eugenics programs had operated in the United States since the early 20th century. Given all we know now about the Covid “vaccines” (mRNA therapies) in the wake of the Pfizer document dump, as well as independent studies, the response to the “pandemic” may well go down in history as one more genocide, this time global. As many academic studies have noted, lockdown measures added immeasurably (by design) to this death toll in a multi-pronged eugenics plan. The psychopathic elites are nothing if not thorough.
The “social engineering” component of the Bilderberg plan as outlined in the document has been thoroughly explored by other authors, not least of whom was the late John Taylor Gatto, who came to public notice with his book Dumbing Us Down. Many of Gatto’s lectures and articles could be quoting directly from “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars,” which stated:
“The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort, so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintain some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class.”
The aim of such diminished educational standards—attested to by steadily declining test scores during recent decades—was to “achieve a totally predictable economy.” In order to do that, “the low-class elements of society must be brought under total control, i.e., must be housebroken, trained, and assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from a very early age, before they have an opportunity to question the propriety of the matter.” This has also included the dumbing-down of language, the shrinking vocabulary so evident these days. A diminishment of vocabulary also limits peoples’ capacity to articulate their thoughts, verbally and in writing. No accident, then.
Another tool in the tyrant’s toolbox mentioned in “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars” as an integral means of achieving “total control” and social conformity is the breaking down of the family unit. At this early stage of the elite plan, “the lower-class family unit must be disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation of the parents and the establishment of government-operated day-care centers for the occupationally orphaned children.” The current attacks on the nuclear family through the “woke” doctrine only further this agenda. Since economic manipulation was an overtly stated component of the overall plan, the continual printing of fiat money, driving a seemingly endless inflationary spiral, has resulted in an economy where both husband and wife must work full-time to make ends meet, and barely then. Children must be farmed out to daycare by age two. A journalist friend of mine told me recently that his colleagues are quitting their jobs for better pay because even at $50,000 per year, it’s impossible to cover all the bills in a major Canadian city.
Because my grasp of economics is sketchy at best, I won’t attempt to parse the detailed fiscal equations contained in “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars,” which analogously equates money with energy: “Since energy is the key to all activity on the face of the earth, it follows that in order to attain a monopoly of energy, raw materials, goods, and services and to establish a world system of slave labor, it is necessary to have a first strike capability in the field of economics.”
Meanwhile, as has been successfully accomplished during the postwar decades, these sociopaths realized that diversion from the main act is essential to maintaining the illusion. A good example recently would be the “whistleblower” revelations of UFO craft (rebranded “UAPs” or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) from the Pentagon, in an obvious diversion from far more important issues such as holding the Covid criminals to account. Such diversion is seen as a “primary strategy” in “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars”:
“Experience has prevent (sic: should be “proven”) that the simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant of the basic system principles on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized, and distracted with matters of no real importance on the other hand. This is achieved by:
• Disengaging their minds; sabotaging their mental activities; providing a low-quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design and economics; and discouraging technical creativity.
• Engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence and their indulgence in emotional and physical activities, by:
• Unrelenting emotional affrontations (sic) and attacks (mental and emotional rape) by way of constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media – especially the T.V. and the newspapers.
• Giving them what they desire – in excess – “junk food for thought” – and depriving them of what they really need.
• Rewriting history and law and subjecting the public to the deviant creation, thus being able to shift their thinking from personal needs to highly fabricated outside priorities. These preclude their interest in and discovery of the silent weapons of social automation technology.
“The general rule is that there is a profit in confusion; the more confusion, the more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems and then offer solutions.”
“Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.
“Schools: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law, and real history.
“Entertainment: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth-grade level.
“Work: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the farm with the other animals.”
3. History Both Rhymes and Repeats
Genocide is no way to learn compassion,
slaughter a poor substitute
for the realization words have power.
Use them at your peril—jagged outlines
ghosting a block of obsidian.
—Sean Arthur Joyce, “Dead Crow Contemplates Murder”[14]
Every time history repeats, the price goes up.
—unknown
If you’ll pardon me for quoting my own poem, I’d like to bolster the reality that “words have power” with a quotation from Scott Wall, in an article titled “Words As Weapons” [15]:
“Our oppressors like to think of themselves as ‘elite.’ I disagree. Their skill sets include lying, cheating, stealing, harming and chicanery. … A more appropriate word for these scoundrels would be ‘parasite,’ since that is the lifestyle that they lead. We are the innovators, creators and producers, whilst they contribute nothing but grief to society. Their narcissism has them projecting their faults onto us, calling us the “useless eaters.” These parasites are the bane of society.”
This framing of the elites as “parasites” by Wall had a higher profile and more academic precedent in Thomas Piketty’s 2014 book, Capital in the 21st Century. Piketty, an economist, made it abundantly clear that what he called the “rentier class,” a multi-generational minority also dubbed the One Percent, lives entirely off inherited wealth and “monopoly rents” that has accumulated to such a scale that none of them ever need work a day in their lives. (Piketty mentions Bill Gates in this context.) These parasites, true to the word’s definition, contribute nothing to their host while living off its bounty, weakening its vitality. Here is just one of Piketty’s statements on the parasitical nature of these ‘elites’:
“Broadly speaking, the central fact is that the return on capital often inextricably combines elements of true entrepreneurial labour (an absolutely indispensable force for economic development), pure luck (one happens at the right moment to buy a promising asset at a good price), and outright theft.” [16]
Economist Michael Hudson, reviewing Capital in the 21st Century, had this to say:
“Across the globe the top 1% have increased their share of wealth and income to the steepest extreme since the Gilded Age of the late 19th and early 20th century. The Federal Reserve’s 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances shows that economic polarization has accelerated since the 2008 crash. The 0.1% of Americans have pulled even further ahead of the rest of the 1%, who in turn have widened their gains over the remainder of the 10%. At the bottom of the pyramid, the poorest 10% have fared even worse than the next lowest. The economy is operating like a centrifuge separating rich from poor.” [17]
Obviously this is a scam the parasite class would do anything to preserve, as we’re now seeing in their undeclared war on the “99 percent,” or perhaps more accurately, 99.9 percent. And it’s a well-known fact that the billionaire elites vastly increased their wealth during the “pandemic.”
It’s in this context that the great historian Arnold Toynbee becomes intensely relevant to our times. His 12-volume A Study of History has been condensed into a two-volume set for those of us lacking the time or academic incentives to red the entire set. To paraphrase his basic thesis, Toynbee posited that in every civilization during its early stages, only a very small “creative minority” are the drivers of innovation and invention, and it’s this zest for creativity that inspires the masses to follow their lead, a “mimesis” that spurs the project of that society to ever-greater heights. However, Toynbee also concedes Carl Jung’s point: “Great innovations never come from above; they invariably come from below… [from] the much derided silent folk of the land—those who are less infected with academic prejudices than great celebrities are wont to be.” [18] It may be safer to say that the “creative minority” lead politically and economically. However, as with any biological life cycle—and there are certainly historians who disagree with this analogy—that civilization after it reaches its apex inevitably begins to succumb to ennui and corruption. Also inevitably, the elites run out of original ideas to creatively meet the shocks confronting their society as they did during its genesis.
At this point they transition from becoming what Toynbee calls a “creative minority” to a “dominant minority,” often resorting to foreign wars as a means of captivating society’s attention and productive energies. The nearly 40-year Peloponnesian War that finished off classical Greek civilization is a prime historical exemplar cited by Toynbee. (We’ve been in this stage since at least the first Gulf War, with Ukraine only the latest manifestation.) This is typically when the elites rely on force rather than mimesis to further their agendas. Whether it’s new technologies (often military) or new social and political organization (e.g. the Roman reorganization by Julius Caesar and his successors from a republic to an imperium; this was not the result of a vote in the Roman Senate), governments or empires no longer see their citizens as partners in the enterprise but as dumb sheep to be herded where leaders want them to go. This is usually when some form of “universal state” is imposed by force, just as we’re now seeing with the agenda typified by the World Economic Forum. That is precisely the stage Western civilization is at now.
Inevitably, according to Toynbee, this is the precursor to total collapse, following which an “interregnum” period arises from the ashes, a highly unstable, often violent and chaotic period that often seeks to mimic or cannibalize the best or most powerful elements of the collapsed regime, while offering no new ideas of its own. In that respect, the “global governance” model espoused by Deep State actors and WEF types isn’t really anything new. It’s merely a rebranding of predatory capitalism, hybridized with Chinese-style totalitarianism. Even art in these periods tends to be imitative of its classical period rather than originating anything new—witness most of our writing, films and music now. It’s arguable we may already be entering the interregnum.
Toynbee wrote about how Christianity’s origins during the Roman Empire were a prime example of a religion being spontaneously generated by what he called its “internal and external proletariats” (not in the Marxian sense: see footnote). [19] As history demonstrates, Christianity outlasted the empire by most of two millennia. Analogously, where are we today with the new religion? Is it the “woke” cult, God forbid? This to me seems unlikely, since it has all the fingerprints of yet another elite social engineering strategy forced on people from the top down, using government funds. The resistance this is generating from the grassroots level of society can now be seen across a wide spectrum of classes, not just “right wing” or Republican demographics. Some of its more erudite or academic critics include Jordan Peterson, Gad Saad and Douglas Murray, to name only three. Wokeism has too many associations with communist ideology, which has repeatedly shown its tendency to destroy the family unit and replace it with the state as mother and father. At this stage of history, we may be too close to the unfolding scenario to see clearly what form of universal religion will replace Christianity in the West.
In any case, as Toynbee chronicles in his magnum opus, increasingly violent attempts by the “dominant minority” to force their agendas on an increasingly unwilling proletariat meets with a fundamental truth about human nature: the harder you push people, the more they will eventually push back. We’re beginning to reach those limits of coercion now, with events such as the Ottawa Truckers Convoy, the Dutch farmers’ protests, the continued unraveling of the Covid narrative, and the forthcoming Million Person March being organized by Muslims in Canada for September. Toynbee put it this way:
“…the inclusion of the surviving fabric of the shattered society within the universal state’s political framework does not avail either to restore what has already perished or to prevent the progressive collapse of the remainder; and the menace of this immense and constantly extending social vacuum compels the government to act against its own inclinations and construct stop-gap institutions to fill the void.” [20]
In that context, witness the increasing desperation of the WHO, with its patently obvious and ridiculous attempt to position itself as a world government through its new health charter. Or the UN’s Antonio Guterres, claiming that the term “global warming” must now be replaced by “global boiling,” all absent a shred of evidence. More and more scientists every month come out of the closet to point out the fallacies of the carbon model of climate change, not denying that it occurs, but making it clear that humanity is not to blame for a cycle that is beyond ancient and far beyond our control. This should come as a huge relief to generations of people who have been brainwashed to believe they are a cancer upon the planet and are supposedly driving it to destruction. Freeing ourselves of this delusion will free up our energies to deal with the very real environmental problems over which we do have some agency: deforestation, pollution of water tables, spraying forests and crops with glyphosate, etc.
In the days ahead, so fraught with uncertainty and potential chaos, we need to ground ourselves, to avoid the temptation to succumb to nihilism or the postmodernist notion of the relativity of all reality. In part, this grounding has an ethical foundation, as I wrote in my notes for Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics and Christopher Phillips’ excellent book, Six Questions of Socrates: During interregnum periods, each individual is faced with a kind of Socratic choice: Will I be among those plundering and feasting upon the remains? Or choose to live by ethical principles, not because it necessarily confers any personal advantage, but simply because it’s the right thing to do? As I wrote in the poem “The State of Resistance” in Diary of a Pandemic Year:
People hate the truth because its fire
demands that they feed the light
with their bones, not just their words,
those cheap things we scatter like confetti… [21]
Truth and integrity do indeed demand much of us, and come at a price. But so does decadence and indifference. With the parasitic elites waging open war upon us, we need all the spiritual armour we can get to survive—and thrive. The mantra “think globally, act locally,” should be “think locally, act locally.” Ironically, if everyone did this, our impact on the planet would begin to heal itself. No one who must work within a finite ecosystem in order to feed, clothe and house their family is likely to poison their waterways with chemicals or clearcut an entire mountainside in their own neighbourhood. Garret Hardin’s Tragedy of the Commons was just another elitist lie, and one he was forced to retract. Humans successfully managed the commons for thousands of years and can do it again.
All it takes is to withdraw support from globalist governments and stake out your independence, wherever it may be found.

Across the frontiers, there forms an External Proletariat consisting of successor states which have “crystallized,” if only temporarily, out of a movement of war-bands… These eventually break through the frontiers and join with the Internal Proletariat to form, after an Interregnum, a new civilization.”

Thanks for this. It's a great piece. Looking to history and putting the insane behaviour of the current senile regime into context is precisely what we need to do.
It's both terrifying and hopeful.
