Seems obvious, every 75 years around that time frame, the last couple hundred years, a change in global domination state happens. This cycle is kind of tardy. It appears Russia and or China was to be the next in line. Notice if you will how the entire “West” is canabalizing itself, how it appears hidden powers of a myriad of forms, yet all seeming to be pointed in a similar direction, basically operatives and agents who control the media, have infiltrated almost all alt-media, the overarching financials of earth, of course western governments political systems, can not leave out the intell/surveillance system which more and more looks like one global appratus, same at least for all militaries, together all play a synchronized global domination game, where making war is highly lucrative, under which human trafficking along with a global human organ trafficking conduit exists without hindrance. Taken all together not only is some form of elite power central causing this, it certainly appears China is to be the next global power after these elites completely de-industrialize and totally destroy all long time cultural/economic activity of each western state.
No doubt it is essential a vast surveillance/intell gathering operation is crucial to this for obvious reasons. Destroying the West as it existed since at least the 1500’s, strip mining its inherent wealth, undermining its brain-power, its critical institutions, completely compromising its political/social foundations, assuring the end hame employing vast illegal alien invasion of turd world savages and criminal gangs, basically handing this invasion army the keys to the kingdoms. Where no aspect of this is happenstance how it is all controlled at the highest levels on down thru a system of globalized control, and while this all happens bith China, and more so Russia remain essentially free of such undermining inverting subversion and destruction. Kind of interesting in the sense there’s a plan at work here. Such a large scope of action, yet no effort is soared to undermine subvert or destroy the individual capable of key critical thinking and related sharing of their insights. How the scope of this involves the total overlying critical macro to the infinite scope of targeted individuals. Humm? Pretty interesting pretty revealing in of itself, how pattern of detail reveals that global scope of happenings. Now what is it thats protecting China and Russia and their important alliances, thats always the unknown unknown unknown, whats operating along the fringes of the shadows, well it has to be first a vast tens of millions of actors operatives and agents, without this these global domination psycho’s are powerless, secondly total absolute unhindered control of the entire worlds financial system os critical to everything. Though both go hand in hand, without limitless funds the rest is not possible. So we again have China and Russia both more or less prosperous and viable nation states, at least for appearances sake, both are states with a long history of operational surveillance states and so too many of their alliance states. It appears obvious these two large entities, whomever or whatever truly controls them, behind all the facades, because nothing could be more apparent for at least from 1945 on, all nation states have been thoroughly infiltrated, all aspects of our lives, the whole scope of our activities, watched and meddled in, the suppression of not just free thought but advancing technologies in entirety which are born from individual action, down to this tiny little thing, which really tells you a shitload about whats going down. There be truly some very fucked up people, (?are they still if ever human in the common sense?), in charge here. Some form of subversion/control has a vice grip on the agents actors and minions/gangstalkers where out of tens of millions nary a one talks out of school. Its surely a vast infestation thats permeated everything, and to be rid of this monstrosity first it must be denied its money, first things first that is, cut it off from it’s lucre and your half way to destroying this thing. Thats the thing though, the truth of it appears that in 2007-2008 access to control of global financial system was cut off. Along with slowly diminishing tranches of big money, and so in example there is this more or less border skirmish thats endless till the warm bodies run out along the Donbas Arc. Its an incredible money making money laundering operation, its sucked dry the western collective arsenal, along with every bit of collateral/debt, which are the globalists banksters main instruments of wealth transfer, collateral-ization of all the things, everything possible because really everything is an asset more or less, and debt instruments/fractional derivatives, down to the subatomic level to squeeze all wealth they hold. If they had control of the global financial system they would not need so much these sources of money to keep the lights on, so theres war and trafficking of a myriad of illicit stuff and of course arms and munitions, stuff war requires. So who benefits right? What benefits? Whats it thats behind all of this for surely its one conglomeration with a hierarchy, in simple terms a criminal syndicate no less. Crooks they be. And they do not give one shit about you or me. Somehow and thats not as apparent shits getting down to the wire big time. Something is gonna break and its crucial. Me i think the bums are flat fucking broke. Not like little people broke, those in charge have their personal wealth/assets, talking about there no longer is a source of money they control large enough to sustain their global domination game. Somethings happened which is not easily seen but its of such a scope, its magnitude becomes self revealing and all hell busts loose. The entire western collection of governments, regardless its all fake gay and homoclownworld, they have run out of money. Because they stopped laundering the lucre thru Ukraine. Talking big clumps of filthy lucre, multi-billion, and so when are the effects of no more filthy lucre filter down to the gangstalking/surveillance? Soon I hope. Soon is the way I see it. All this takes time. This thing was once vast, controlled every facet in the sphere of our lives. You can see it in the political arena. Alls they got is orangeman bad and a fake live store window dummy so the fake media can continue to run their mass psy-op against us all. They got nothing, same thing over and over, same shiny object thing, same looks its Haley’s comet/its a squirrel bullshit, seems its all they can do now.

Re “A Canadian farmer has recently just migrated to Russia with his wife & 8 children to escape Communist Canada & their ideological school system.” Russia has compulsory schooling since 1930. The US has had compulsory school attendance started by Massholes in 1852. Russia’s Bolshevik revolution was a production by NY Jews, just like the fake New Order church was set up in the Vatican following their installation of fake anti-Christian popes in 1958. The Catholic Church is against compulsory education laws as they transgress subsidiarity. If we ever want the boot of the perfidious Jew off our neck we’re going to need a Pope again.

On the other hand, you’re talking about the PD had two of their patrolmen going into “hail of lead” mode while making an arrest and shooting NINE bystanders, and the Chief adopted a “shit happens” attitude and claimed it was justified. One of many examples of NYPD’s disdain for the people who are supposed to be their employers.

FOIA documents reveal secret 2020 election day meeting with CISA, Dominion, ES&S, ERIC, FBI, Leftist Organizations, State Officials, and Others — only recently discovered.

I’ll try to summarize this. Lets say you were in charge of the Deep State and going to steal the 2020 election, for a candidate who didn’t campaign and who performed badly in to earlier campaigns for the office. And on election day you get early returns indicating that voters still aren’t buying it. So you call an all hands on deck meeting that afternoon to ramp up the steal.

Who do you invite to the meeting? The exact group of people and organizations listed in this report.

Jim Hoft has just documented that the meeting took place and who attended it, not what was discussed, but just the fact that its now documented that the meeting took place is significant.

AC, I found this article: Targeted Individuals: How To Stop Electronic Harassment Via Nano Fungal Infection.


https://educate-yourself.org/cn/How-to-Stop-Electronic-Harassment-via-Nano-Fungal-Infection005jun17.shtml


I’ve said before I’m doing the NAC Protocol (NAC, oregano oil, and black seed oil) which removes fungus from the body. When I first read through the cdf white paper I wondered if there was a connection between the fungus and The Beam. According to the article above there is.


I started on the protocol when Stop The C4ckery said the ringing in his ears stopped when he did it. The same thing happened to me, the ringing in my ear got weaker and weaker and is pretty much gone.


In the article the TI talks about how people build Faraday Cages etc. to block the radio waves but it doesn’t work. He also talks about how after he killed the fungus he could still feel the radio waves targeting him but they no longer had any effect on him. According to this guy the fungus turns you into a radio receiver, I don’t quite get the science but that’s right up your alley.

“I can usually figure out whether it is defeated or not just by pointing out here the simple reality that when this all comes out, regular Americans, real Americans, who are the vast majority of the nation, and are armed to the teeth, will want everyone in surveillance either dead or gone from the country, and it will be a war. And I think it true. I do not see the nation going forward, after 4-10% of the people tried to take it over and establish a dictatorship, by beaming innocent people with radiation weapons covertly, while hiding in their homes, and the rest of the nation just says, “Well, that was crazy,” and those people get to go on as if they ever tried that. I do nto see people thinking it weird surveillance had some hand in 9/11 and all the wars, and the mass shooters, and it just blows over. I just do not see, if you get full exposure, how it is not handled like a full blown war against the most reviled traitors who you can never trust in the nation again. But they get pissed if I say that, even though I think it obvious enough, that whether I say it or not, it is out there on its own as an obvious reality, without me even involved.”

It sounds to me like they are hoping to get you to try to kick off the festivities and every time you say that kind of thing they think it means an increased possibility of success.
They are setting off all kinds of shooters still.

“It is always possible the Fungus would produce something which the Beam is able to stimulate, but IMO it is a very small, exceedingly small…”

One way to enhance a standard MRI image is to inject the patient with a “dye” of rare-earth materials (itself very dangerous, and which should be approached with extreme caution due to side effects). Since we’re in the sci-fi realm here, such a hypothetical fungus might preferentially concentrate ingested metallic substances with which the Beam more easily interacts, much like the MRI interacts with dye particles.

So, there might be something to it. The question is, could it hurt to follow the protocol?

Forty minutes. Notable in that the earlier Mercoris position was that the American deep state was controlling European elites, and he is now taking the Tom Luongo (Gods, Goats and Guns) position that its European elites that are controlling the US Deep state.

That also explains how badly informed and tone deaf the entire “lawfare” campaign against Trump and his associates is. Its being run out of some castle in Germany, its implemented by Americans but no American came up with the concept.

So, I’m listening to the Tucker Carlson interview of Vladimir Putin. I’m primarily focused on the first 25-30 minutes, where Putin discusses Russian history. It’s fascinating to hear him relate this because it sounds strange and contradictory.

1) Putin claims Russia began as two founding cities in 862 AD, one called Novograd and the other called Kievan-Rus. This is odd. Roman civilization was founded by Romulus and Remus, but there was only one Rome, never a Rome and a Reme. Why two cities, when it is more typical to have one founding place to start, at an optimal location, and then build satellites from there?

2) Putin claims that the Ukrainian people do not exist. The term “Ukraine” meant a border people living on the outskirts of the empire providing some kind of “border service.” To Putin, then, these Ukrainians are Russian people, which would be news to the Ukrainians.

3) Putin claims that Russia experienced shifts in its territory due to various invasions, like the ones from Genghis Khan. This means the Empire shifted its territory around. The “border people” came under the control of various local kingdoms, like the Lithuanian-Rus and later the Kingdom of Poland. He confirms that they suffered abuses under the Polish, that the Polish tried to stamp out their culture and language, and that Bohdan Khmelnitsky appealed to both Warsaw and Moscow for the assertion of their rights. Putin never explains why significant Russian populations just appeared stranded enough inside other kingdoms, why they never migrated out back to Russia or why they were never purged, and why they existed in such significant numbers that they altered the demographics of a neighboring kingdom. Furthermore, Bohdan Khmelnitsky is claimed to be Ukrainian, not Russian.

4) Somehow all of these issues were resolved under Catherine the Great by 1634 until a couple hundred years later when the Austro-Hungarian Empire attempted a program of “Ukrainianization” to undermine Russia from within before the start of WWI. Now, hear we have his first contradiction. Before, Putin insisted that Ukraine was just some Russian border people. Now he is insisting that the A-H empire was trying to cause some internal group that were not Russians to rebel. Well, now you have distinct people who are not merely Russian border people unless Putin is trying to argue that Ukrainian is some kind of eastern version of Esperanto that was being imposed on Russia from without.

5) Here we have the most interesting thing Putin said. In 1922, when the Bolsheviks were busy consolidating Russia under the Soviet Union, both Lenin and Stalin decided, inexplicably [Putin’s words], to subject Ukraine to a process of “indigenization.” This would be a program where the local culture and language would be celebrated and promoted. Not only that but Ukraine would be given autonomy and the right to secede from the Soviet Union. Ukraine also had land, inexplicably added to it, taken from Poland, Hungary, and Romania. Putin claims that the reason why Ukraine was so favored was because the people who ran the Bolshevik government came mostly from Ukraine. So, Putin is now claiming that Bolshevism was a Ukrainian program?? What Ukrainians experienced was a program of severe Russification, where their language and culture were stamped out, their artists, musicians, and scientists were claimed as Russian, and their people were marched off to Siberia while Russians moved into their homes. Whose “indigenous culture” was being promoted and whose government was being given the power of autonomy and secession in Ukraine? Who exactly is Putin calling out here?

It’s here where I stopped and started replaying the interview.

I haven’t seen the interview yet, but I’m familiar with Russian history.

The story is that the Swedes used the Russian river system to trade with Byzantium and Persia, and set up cities along the route. Eventually the Swedish strain was absorbed into the Slavic population. Novgorod and Kiev were their most important cities.

The territory that is now in “Ukraine” was a mixture of steppe nomads, and Russian cities such as Kiev. The Russian principalities there were the same as the ones further north.

When the Mongols conquered Russia, they destroyed Kiev, and designated the ruler of Moscow as their chief tax collector, which is how Moscow became the most important Russian city.

The Mongols were eventually defeated, not by the Russians, but by the Poles (actually the Polish -Lithuanian Commonwealth). So large parts of Russian territory, what later became Ukraine and Belarus, wound up in Polish control. That is where they started to diverge from Moscow-centered Moscow. The Poles at one point captured Moscow too.

Poland eventually got much weaker, and was partitioned between Russia, Prussia, and Austria (later Austria-Hungary). Napoleon revived Poland and allied with the Poles, but after Napoleon’s defeat there was a final partition, and the area around Lvov or Lviv wound up in Austria-Hungary. This is now western Ukraine. The Tsars ruled eastern and central Ukraine.

Lenin and Stalin had the idea that the Russian Empire would be replaced by a federation of republics for separate nationalities, with Russia being the largest republic, and set up a republic for Ukraine. Over time some clearly Russian areas to the east were added to it. Western Ukraine was in Poland and only added after World War 2.

So Putin is right, Ukraine is an artificial nation. The eastern parts are Russian. The western part, Ruthenia, does have a distinct national culture and probably should be split off own its own. You can make cases for Kiev and Kharkov going to either the Ruthenian nation or Russia.

Except there was no attempt to maintain distinct nationalities. Russification of the entire area was the norm. Again, Putin claims that the Ukrainian people don’t exist even though the language is distinctly different from either Russian or Polish.

They have enough of a historical claim and mostly this is a matter of power and national security for Russia.

I predict that anything Russia doesn’t take will be divided between the other neighbors like Poland.
But a small Ukraine as a neutral buffer state is possible.

“…The Mongols were eventually defeated, not by the Russians, but by the Poles…”

That’s not what I read. If remember correctly in the book

The Pursuit of Power: Technology, Armed Force, and Society since A.D. 1000McNeill, William H.

By the way, a stupendously excellent book. In fact, every single book he wrote is a tour de force and of the highest caliber but very readable. If you were to decide to read two books that tie in immense events and how these made the modern world what it is today, the above and “Plagues and Peoples (1976)” together would be hard to beat.

What the Russians did was they built large wagon trains. On these wagon trains they piled up portable wooden forts. The Mongol’s great advantage was mobility and concentration of force. The Russian using firearms and these portable forts ruined them. They could also carry lots of supplies in these wagons and much like the US Army did to the Native Americans, chased them all over. Basically, the rise of gunpowder and portable armor did them in. I’m not saying the Russians were the only ones causing the Mongols grief, only that this is how they cleared Russian territory. The rest I’m not sure of.

Rees Mogg and Davidson recommend the McNeil book in their magnum opus, The Great Reckoning. They also discuss the concept called Megapolitics, and discuss the Gunpowder revolution. Highly recommended.

Thanks Sam.

“…Rees Mogg and Davidson…”

I’ve read all their books and it changed my life. It’s where I got the gunpowder reference. I see you picked it up right away. Metapolitics, it’s such a powerful idea. It actually changed the way I went about things from reading them. It’s so weird too how I came across them and started reading them. Just from looking at the blurb in the jacket.

I have not read it yet but Carroll Quigley has a book published after his death. “Weapons Systems and Political Stability: A History

Free here. Download a copy and save it.

http://www.carrollquigley.net/pdf/Weapons%20Systems%20and%20Political%20Stability.pdf

Now “supposedly” it’s about the same things Moog and Davidson talked about. Somewhere, can’t remember where, I told, someone, I thought he copied them, but that someone informed me that M and D got all their idea from Quigley.

I suspect, but do not know for sure, that some of Quigley’s ideas were not to the establishment’s liking so he fed them to Rees and Davidson, and further released a book on them after death. The one above, linked.

Quigley’s book,”Tragedy And Hope; A History Of The World In Our Time” I keep trying to read this but it’s very, very tough. It has some huge ideas but it’s covered up in a torrent of facts, figures, people, places, it’s full to the top and torrid to read. I’ve been reading it for years. It’s embarrassing how slow I’m going through it. I carry it in my car and every time I’m stuck somewhere, appointment, whatever I read a few pages. I used to keep starting over as I would forget the first part, but stopped because I would never get through it. I’m maybe 2.5/5ths through it.

“…Putin said. In 1922, when the Bolsheviks were busy consolidating Russia under the Soviet Union, both Lenin and Stalin decided, inexplicably [Putin’s words], to subject Ukraine to a process of “indigenization.” This would be a program where the local culture and language would be celebrated and promoted…”

Not inexplicable at all if you’ve paid attention to what the Jews have done for thousands of years. Take over and try to pit different groups of the population against each other. Same as what they are doing “right now” and have been doing for decades in the US(and Europe). Think how evil and vile it is to be the ones to import almost every single African into North America, then run around, constantly rile them up over slavery, they created for them, and then blame “Whites” for all African Americans problems.

What’s interesting is Putin bringing this up, almost like he is trolling the Jews.

Re: Angela Chao, shipping CEO and sister of Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell’s wide, dies in a car accident. Supposedly another driver ran a red light.

Notable. The Taiwanese Chao family and its billionaire-level global shipping enterprise, top US political presence, top Wall Street and VC-Silicon Valley relationships, and likely CIA/Mossad handlers, is probably the most senior Cabal/Chinese Triad op we’re allowed to see.

Angela Chao ran the family’s shipping (trafficking) company, was married to Jim Breyer (tech VC, particularly focused on China) and was previously married until his untimely death to Bruce Wasserstein, a major Wall St banker and noted Jewish liberal. He died only a few months into their marriage. The linked article shows the family in a 2015 photo with then VP Biden, his hands all over one of the Chao little girls.

Along with recent helicopter fatalities for prominent international players like the former Chilean president, and Nigeria’s biggest banker, the impression is that unacknowledged assassinations in this unacknowledged global war indicate its escalation.

Help us in Tennessee. We’re hardcore Red State. When Obama won, we, and I think Nebraska were red against him. TN went even more red than last election–we went crimson, we were so red.
My county is probably 2/3rds or more Trump.
And yet a lot of our leaders have been RINOs. We should be the hardest core of the hardest core of the Rightwingers in Congress and governing this beautiful state. We have some good ones, but not nearly as many as logically we should.

“Diversity training increases prejudice and “activates bigotry” among participants, new study say”

From the link: “The authors concluded, “Implementation of DT [diversity training] has clearly outpaced the available evidence that such programs are effective in achieving their goals.””

Oh, they’re effective in achieving their goals all right. Just not the goals the authors assume.

“Mr. Haskell said DEI training can create a sense of “isolation and demoralization” in people belonging to the “dominant culture” because they are depicted as “fundamentally depraved (racist, sexist, sadistic, etc.)” while other groups are depicted “as important and worthwhile.””

Bingo.

“Assaults on NYPD escalate to record-breaking totals in latest anti-cop sentiment: ‘Full-blown epidemic.’”

Who’d wanna be a cop in NYC city these days eh? Pretty soon the only people who will join the force will be migrants and illegals.

Oops.

BREAKING

According to French media, the Kiev regime tried to lure French President Emmanuel Macron to Ukraine in order to murder him and then blame his death on Russia in order to bring media attention back to Ukraine and increase financial and military aid from the west.

The president of France, Emanuel Macron, cancelled his visit to Ukraine due to a planned deadly provocation against him.

According to a source close to the National Intelligence Council, this attempt was stopped by the French secret services, who managed to intercept the correspondence and the calls of the participants involved in the potential provocation.

The idea of the attack was to focus the attention of world public opinion on Ukraine and allow an increase in arms supplies to Ukraine.

The Ukrainian authorities planned to shift responsibility for the attack on the French president onto the Russian side in order to accuse the country of terrorism.

Getting a peek behind the curtain at the level of depravity from Satan’s army really makes me question if there has EVER been a legitimate provocation to war, or if the ENTIRE history is just false flag after false flag ad infinitum.

Republicans made sure they had the votes–just barely, as the resolution impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas passed the House by a single vote, 214-213.
.
With a vote of 214-213, Mayorkas is the first cabinet official to be impeached since the 1870s.
.
214 votes on 2/14?
