Food for your paranoia, aka some truly scary stuff

There was a story from True Pundit a few weeks ago that this woman had uncovered key witnesses in a pedophile ring that went to very high levels, and reportedly included Bill Clinton and senior Washington people.  She was reported dead in a hotel room shortly after, on her own account, reporting some of what she had found to the FBI, DHS, and others.  The implication obviously is that she was silenced.

Here is the original story: https://truepundit.com/investigative-journalist-found-dead-in-d-c-hotel-room-weeks-after-reporting-bill-clinton-to-fbi-dhs-for-allegedly-raping-boy/

There is a lot of BS on the internet, so I’ve been checking back from time to time. I checked local newspapers, but found nothing.

Snopes picked it up.  A journalist named Jen Moore was in fact found dead, and the cause of death undetermined as of whenever they posted this, on August 27, 2018, Monday.

Here is her alleged last interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-0L73Kd9k4

Listen to the first ten minutes or so.  The interviewer is kind of a goof, but she is clearly a switched on, motivated woman.  She is not a flake.

She does make these allegations, of high level, organized pedophile rings.

Facts:

1. She died suddenly.

2. Cause of death not determined, and as far as I can tell, no effort to determine cause of death has been made. No autopsy has been performed.

3. She claimed to have found evidence of some really evil, literally Satanic activity, and was planning to continue to gather evidence and report it.

4. It implicated senior officials.  She says the FBI specifically seems to be protecting these people.

5. At least one of her interviews with the government involved an interview in a basement with a black window with a person she couldn’t see.

6. She has been threatened before with being killed, on her own account.

We all die, and at times we can’t always choose.  Which we USUALLY can’t choose.  Dying trying to rescue someone from a burning building, or winning an important battle is a great death.  For most of us, it sneaks up.  Sometimes this sneaking is literal.

But a life lived in fear is no life at all.  If this life is all we get, then nothing matters.  If we get more, then even the worst death may have some value in the context of eternity.

But all of us should pray that light enters this world, enters this darkness, and dispels all this evil.

In my own view, there is CLEARLY something here.  This is far more substantive than the allegations which were made to disappear with Pizzagate by mocking them.

These people, in my view, exist.  They have power.  They pull strings.  And they kill people.

And they fucking HATE Trump.

The price of cooperation

The deal with psychopaths is that they don’t give and keep their word.  Their word is a ruse designed to get past one obstacle, and to be forgotten the next moment.

If they tell you that if you just cooperate with them now, that they will feel gratitude, it is absurd to believe them.

If they tell you you are safe, it is stupid to believe them.

The only protection is a functioning system of government with police protection, and/or the physical ability to protect yourself.

If the psychopaths fully take over our government, nowhere is far enough.  Nowhere is safe.  You can be found on a remote island in Fiji, or the jungles of Borneo, if they want to find you.

And self evidently, no identified dissident can move anywhere in this or any other developed country freely.  As I keep saying, this is the big and obvious lie in futuristic dystopias, like, say, Minority Report.

They have facial recognition and gait recognition.  If you disguise yourself, you will stand out because they can’t identify you.  License plate scanning has been robust for years now.  You can’t go anywhere on any highway that you are not known quickly, if someone is looking.

Disappearing is getting harder, and harder, and many highly intelligent people are using the cover of preventing terrorism to make it functionally impossible, at least for people outside the System.  Right now, it is mostly accurate to say there is nowhere to go. 

So every cooperation in the direction of giving these people what they want is ultimately futile.  Once they have what they want, they can turn on you with impunity.  If they win, good people lose.

There is no point trying to delay the reckoning.  If it is going to come, it will come, and you won’t be able to sidestep it.  There is no escape. 

I do think about moving to another country from time to time, especially when I read about how corrupt our nation has already become, how much control and surveillance is already in place, how corrupt, particularly, the FBI and CIA already are, but then I think: it is here, or nowhere.  Now, or never.  If I lose here, I lose here.  There is nowhere to run, that I can see.

This place, this country, this time: this is where good people must make their stands, make their voices heard, rat out their corrupt supervisors or underlings, tell the truth to courts, enforce the laws honestly even in the face of fear.  There is no other time.  There will be no other place. 

This is my gut feeling.  It is an astonishing feeling, to feel alive in such a time.  But life has always been odd, has it not?  It always ends.  Everything we build always crumbles.  Everything we were is always forgotten.  We all have a last breath, perhaps with a last thought, as we go on to what comes next, if there is something which comes next.

And not knowing what comes next, if something comes next: that is an extraordinary thing too, is it not?  We have not solved this problem.  We can’t even figure where and what matter is, and so logically cannot say anything truly final about what it means to have a body, to occupy it, to use it, to express it, and to leave it, in some way.

If I might quote Madonna, in a ludicrous change of tone, Life is a Mystery.  It truly is.

The Chinese

I don’t think I am putting any ideas into the heads of people to whom this would be obvious when I say that funding anti-Trump agitation propaganda would be a logical part of Chinese efforts to protect their substantial–and likely, for them, important–trade barriers. 

With Trump, they are dealing with a very seasoned negotiator with balls, which is not something they have run into in the modern era.  Certainly not since they threw off the last vestiges of pretending Communism could work in the 1990’s, in a naked bid to get money, wealth and power for their oligarchs, even at the cost of the continued and indeed increasing misery of everyone but their elites.

The Chinese has used government spies and hackers to steal all sorts of technology, not just from our military and government, but from our industries as well.  They have likely stolen from Intel, Motorola, Apple.  And they certainly openly allow Hollywood content to be openly copied and sold, as well as all sorts of other protected content.

It is past time we asked them to act civilized, to act like members of an international order characterized by mutual respect and the rule of law, and in so doing to act like something other than feudal warlords and common thieves, which is how they have been acting.

America, in many ways, is no innocent.  I get this.  Howard Zinn was only 90% wrong, and in some very few cases perhaps even mostly correct and even honest.  Unless and until one studies the atrocities of the Communists carefully, it is hard to even consider defending, say, the United Fruit Company.

But very, very few tyrants in human history have approached the AVERAGE level of abuse and intrusiveness of the average Communist dictatorship (to say Communist dictatorship is of course redundant, as a Communist democracy is a contradiction in terms, the two being antitheses).  Genghiz Khan, as a rule, felt no need to force people to think him.  He simply killed people who disagreed with him.  The Communists are every bit as murderous as the Mongols, but with the added humiliation and horror of placing large numbers of people in psychological torture camps for long periods of time, up to and including the duration of life, which is always shortened there.

So the Shah was better than Communists, certainly, and better than the Mullahs, certainly.  Iran would be a prosperous place today, that we would all want to visit, if the Shah had kept power.  The Revolutionary Guard–as is always the case with radicals–killed more people in their first year than the Shah had killed in his lifetime.  That is my understanding.  The secret prisons, which were largely empty, filled quickly once they replaced him.

Guatamala is a much harder question.  But the easy question is: would we will the style of government of China as it exists today on the world, and that answer is an easy FUCK NO.  They may not use literal slave yokes any more, but what goes on in the back country after the secret police make you disappear stays in the back country, and far from prying ears, no one can hear you scream.  No one cares when you break.  And no one mourns you when you die.

Since anyone who cares to likely has a detailed psychological profile on me by now, I will admit that my fear is not being shot, but being broken by psychopaths over a long period of time.  That is the fear of all people with sense.  You cannot read about what these murderous, horrifically evil human beings have done with anything but a stone in your stomach, and silent horror in your eyes.

Socialism and Class

I may have mentioned I am listening to David Copperfield.  It is impossible not to notice that in that world everyone more or less has their place and their station.  Respectable people are respectable.  Working men and women are common.  The educated are educated, and all in all your life and prospects in large measure depend upon your birth, and how you use the English language.  A commoner will never be a barrister, or so it seems.

And it occurs to me that the nations where Socialism has gotten a strong hold all had strongly held ideas about hierarchy, place, and a relatively fixed system of privileges and duties.  This is certainly true of England, Russia, France, and even China.

And it occurs to me that the core idea of Socialism is ALSO that everyone has a place, a station, to which all people must be assigned by, it is assumed, their NEW betters, rather than their old betters.  The intellectuals, rather than the hereditary elites.

I have said this before, but it is hard to suppress the sense that the salient objection most intellectuals felt to ancient systems of privilege was not that privilege is inherently wrong, but that the wrong sorts of people were in charge.  They wanted, and want, to out-aristocrat the aristocrats, not undo the fundamental tenets and habits of the system. They just want new management, not a more just order.  They consider the aristocrats dull, and the bourgeoisie their enablers and minions.  The Artist and the Intellectual, we are told, are to be their successors.  This is, we are told, only just, although the why is quite obscured by the highly disingenuous and misleading verbiage surrounding the project.

If you observe this, then add some magical thinking about how things should be free–Mugabe was going to deliver free shit, as was Chavez, and as will Sanders–you have the Left over the past 2 centuries or so.

Tantra, the Self and grinding dreams

Last night I was dreaming the “Disaster” we all seem to fear happened.  Everyone was scattering, gathering their food and backpacks if they had them, their guns if they had them, and taking off for an uncertain and likely short future.

The night before, I was in a Gulag, doing endless work under endless abuse, under a hot sun.  We did pushups, we were beaten, we were insulted.

My sets of dreams lately have had distinct textures.  I feel like some deep part of my self is contacting not just my waking consciousness, but what lies beneath all of this.  Some of this is me, my past, my pain, but some of it is more.

The Gulag, in particular, had in a way I can’t describe the texture of a straw mat.  It was composed of strands, threaded together to make an apparent whole, to make what seemed solid ground, but which wasn’t.

I feel like this gulag–Laogai, to use the Chinese word, which is more relevant, since they still exist all these years later, after so much of the world has evolved into something approximating pervasive decency–represented a true bottom for me.  This is the bottom of my perceptual field.  It contains my early trauma, but also the trauma of life itself, the suffering at the root of it.

Below, there is no more ground.  It opens up to sky below as well as sky above.  It is thick, very thick, and dissolving it will leave me in open space.

But this is the goal.  This is freedom.  I can go where I like.

And it occurs to me that the Self–the Atman, or atta–which the Buddhists said did not exist consists in a faculty which has as its only purpose LIMITING our perception.  The Self is “that which makes dreams and vistas smaller, the eyes dimmer, the mind duller, and which erodes all the other faculties in negative ways.”  The Self is a step down transformer which serves the sole purpose of rejection.  It has no affirmative function, and asking it to do more than it can is to destroy it.  This is why growth has to be gradual, and the release of the restraints also gradual.  The hose has to become bigger and bigger, until the ocean can be embraced, and the hose dissolved as no longer necessary.

Tantra, I read, means woven.  What we create is likewise woven.  And what is woven can be reduced to strings, and what was behind that pattern can then be seen. You enter what is behind the picture through the strands composing it.  There is really no other good way.

Hillary and her great friend China

https://www.infowars.com/sources-china-hacked-clintons-private-email-server/

To my mind, it is worth wondering if allowing herself to be hacked was part of the deal, and if soliciting support on various fronts from the Chinese was also part of the deal.

Has ANYONE asked to what extent the Chinese tried to interfere in the 2016 election, how much they donated to her campaign, what assets they offered?

There are patent illegalities on so many fronts here that I will again ask: what did she do that WAS legal?  It is quite possible the answer is NOTHING.

A better question as far as Hillary Clinton

With all the focus of how many classified emails Hillary sent and received, I think the larger question has been ignored.  The question is not what she did that was wrong, but what she did that was RIGHT.

Did she make ANY effort, any at all, to comply with Federal laws requiring public servants, the people who work for and on behalf of the American people. to comply with record keeping requirements?  There are laws which require all Federal employees to keep their work in the public domain so it can be audited if needed, so that there is a trail, if one needs to be followed.

I read on InfoWars, from a source I can’t recall, that there was one claim she never even HAD a State Dept., .gov or whatever it is, address. 

It is possible that not only did she send EVERYTHING over her Walmart level server, but that she sent NOTHING any other way.  Ponder this for a moment. 

Ponder someone who is in, roughly, the top ten rank order to President, someone who is a senior official, literally ignoring EVERY standard of protocol, not to mention the law.  Is it POSSIBLE there was ANYONE who did not know about this, if it is true she never used her other address, or worse, that she never even bothered to pretend she was going to follow the rules, and so never got one?  No, of course not.

The classified emails are felonies.  But the whole ENTERPRISE was criminal too. It was willful.  It was knowing.  She knew what she was doing.

And I will say again that the felony emails may be the BEST of it.  She may have been wheeling and dealing with all sorts of creeps, crooks and Commissars.  She may have been selling information to the highest bidders.  She may have weird sex habits. 

It is really astonishing that someone who ordered evidence destroyed–there can really be no doubt of this, among intelligent people who are not naive–GOT AWAY WITH IT. 

She sent and received classified emails.  We know this.  Each one is a felony.

We know she destroyed evidence after having been subpoenaed to provide it, which is obstruction of justice.  We know this too.

And we also know, I suspect, that she never had any intention of even trying to pretend to comply.  This, too, is a crime.  It is a violation of the Federal Record Keeping Act, or whatever they call it.  This is not just the level of arrogance, but the level of COMFORT she felt with the DoJ, with Obama, and with the FBI.  Her confidence was justified.  The long arm of the law did not reach to her, and she knew it.  It still hasn’t.  Not even close.

This should scare the shit out of anyone with half a brain.  What else is possible in such a world, in a world where the FBI simply ignores crimes when committed by connected people?  And what is the degree of complicity with crimes we don’t know about, yet?  What has been hidden so completely we can’t suspect it?  What was in those 30,000 emails?

What is on Anthony Weiner’s server?  I read yesterday that most of the emails have not even been evaluated by the FBI.  They were in a hurry to issue an exoneration, apparently, and the end result was never in question.   A claim was made by Eric Prince, just before the election that massive amounts of child pornography were on there, some of it linked to the Clintons.  I have looked and waited for follow ups, but I don’t know if Prince was lying, or if some really, really fucked up shit is going on.

Until she is arrested, there is no justice in this country.  Maybe Trump should declassify the whole investigation. I can’t speak intelligently on that topic.

That many dishonest, greedy, and evil human beings occupy high places in our government, though, is to my mind established beyond any reasonable doubt.

Communism and Fascism

It might be helpful to create a matrix which includes a series of boxes comparing both to a Constitutional Republic.

Commonalities would be insecure property rights, universal healthcare and “free” education and other benefits (Hitler offered greatly subsidized vacations, for example, and built a massive vacation complex on the Baltic), the lack of individual rights, the “Allmacht” of the government, the extensive use of secret police and informers, economic stagnation outside of imperialism.  This is a short list.

I will note that even taxation is not a power granted directly to the Federal government, if memory serves, by the original Constitution, outside of, I believe, tariffs.  The power to force people to buy something, or to reallocate wealth, is categorically antithetical to everything all the Founders believed in.

And “Socialism” is not a new idea.  The Romans had their version of it.  It bankrupted them, and it corrupted their people.

The genius of the crowd

there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day

and the best at murder are those who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach peace do not have love

beware the preachers
beware the knowers
beware those who are always reading books
beware those who either detest poverty
or are proud of it
beware those quick to praise
for they need praise in return
beware those who are quick to censor
they are afraid of what they do not know
beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average

but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect

like a shining diamond
like a knife
like a mountain
like a tiger
like hemlock

their finest art

This spectacle

When I speak of a shit show, what I mean is an organized, well funded effort to USE our system to abuse our system, to get Trump out of office despite doing nothing wrong, for the one and only reason that large elements of our government fear and despise him.

In a normal election cycle, the Democrats would react to national losses by moderating.  That is more or less the intention underlying our system.  Our system is supposed to reward and encourage moderation on all sides.  It is intended to avoid the violent swings which have done so much to fuck up Europe and other places.  And by and large this has worked.  We have avoided hard core socialism.  We have avoided the Fascism that the Germans, who want to lecture us on political policy, were not able to.  We have never had kings and queens.

But the very possibility that they can avoid the cost of their radicalism by using allies in the system Obama left behind has caused the Democrats to shift BACK to the hard Left which Obama was building his whole time in office.  Rather than moderating, they are becoming more radical.  Rather than becoming more reasonable they are losing their collectivist fucking minds.

I have argued in the past that the violence in Israel will only end when the refugees lose their hope that they will be allowed to move back into the homes their great-grandparents lived in.  They have not lost this hope, that of the so-called “Right of Return”.  The media are willing to lie for them continually. They are willing to demonize Israel for common sense measures, and to commend and support the refugees no matter how insane their actions and demands are.  As long as this continues, there will be some level of violence, although it is OBVIOUS that the wall the Israelis built WORKED, very, very well.

And as long as the hope of impeachment–even if conviction and removal from office by the Senate remains a pie dream–remains, they feel they can be as crazy as they want.

We need to squelch that dream, hard.  We need them to come back to Earth.  Not all Democrats are lunatics, but their leaders plainly are.  The American people need them to come back to Earth, to show some self restraint, some respect for the American people, for the rule of law, for common sense, for our history, for common decency.
