I do not share some of the ideas of this article but it is nevertheless excellent food for thoughts. Which is unfortunately what we are missing more and more replaced as they are by tweets and soon to be completely eliminated if we accepts the fact that all and any non main stream idea is a conspiracy by definition.

If
you are starting to feel like forces controlling the governments of the
west are out to get you, then it is likely that you are either a
paranoid nut job, or a stubborn realist.
Either way, it means that you have some major problems on your hands.
If
you don’t happen to find yourself among the tinfoil hat-wearing strata
of conspiracy theorists waiting in a bunker for aliens to either strike
down or save society from the shape shifting lizard people, but are
rather contemplating how, in the 1960s, a shadow government took control
of society over the dead bodies of many assassinated patriots, then
certain conclusions tend to arise.
Three Elementary Realizations for Thinking People
The
first conclusion you would likely arrive at is that the United States
government was just put through the first coup in over 58 years (yes, what happened in 1963 was a coup).
Although it is becoming a bit prohibitive to speak such words aloud in
polite society, Nancy Pelosi’s official biographer Molly Ball, recently
penned a scandalous Time Magazine article entitled ‘The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Elections’ which admitted to this conspiracy saying:
“Even
though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream- a well-funded cabal of
powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working
together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and
laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.” (Lest you think that this was a subversion of democracy, Ball informs us that “they were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.”)
Another
conclusion you might come to is that many of the political figures whom
you believed were serving those who elected them into office, actually
serve the interests of a clique of technocrats and billionaires lusting
over the deconstruction of western civilization under something called
“a Great Reset”. Where this was brushed off as an unfounded conspiracy theory not long ago, even Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister (and neo-Nazi supporting Rhodes Scholar) Chrystia Freeland decided to become a Trustee of the World Economic Forum just
weeks ago. In this role, Freeland joins fellow Oxford technocrat Mark
Carney in their mutual endeavor to be a part of the new movement to
decarbonize civilization and make feudalism cool again.
Lastly,
you might notice that your having arrived at these conclusions is
itself increasingly becoming a form of thought-crime punishable in a
variety of distasteful ways elaborated by a series of unprecedented new
emergency regulations that propose extending the definition of
“terrorism”. Those implicated under the new definition will be
those broad swaths of citizens of western nations who don’t agree with
the operating beliefs of the ruling oligarchy.
Already a 60 day review of the U.S. military is underway to purge the armed forces of all such “thought criminals” while McCarthyite legislation has been drafted to cleanse all government jobs of “conspiracy theorists”.
Another startling announcement from the National Terrorism Advisory Bulletin that domestic terrorists include: “ideologically-motivated
violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental
authority [and] perceived grievances fueled by false narratives.”
While not yet fully codified into law (though it will be if
not nipped in the bud soon), you can be sure that things are certainly
moving fast as, before our very eyes, the right to free speech is being
torn to shreds by means of censorship across social media and the
internet, cancelling all opinions deemed unacceptable to the ruling
class.
The Conspiracy to Subvert Conspiracy Theorizing
This
should not come as a surprise, as Biden’s new addition to the
Department of Homeland Security is a bizarre figure named Cass Sunstein
who famously described exactly what this was going to look like in his
infamous 2008 report ‘Conspiracy Theories’ (co-authored with Harvard Law School’s Adrien Vermeule). In
this under-appreciated study, the duo foresaw the greatest threat to
the ruling elite took the form of “conspiracy theorizing” within the
American population using as examples of this delusion: the idea that
the government had anything to do with the murders of John F. Kennedy
and Martin Luther King Jr, or the planning and execution of 9-11.
Just
to be clear, conspiracy literally means ‘two or more people acting
together in accord with an agreed upon idea and intention’.
The
fact that Vermeule has made a legal career arguing that laws should be
interpreted not by the “intentions” of lawgivers, but rather according
to cost-benefit analysis gives us a useful insight into the deranged
mind of a technocrat and the delusional reasoning that denies the very
thing which has shaped literally ALL of human history.
In their “scholarly” essay, the authors wrote “the
existence of both domestic and foreign conspiracy theories, we suggest,
is no trivial matter, posing real risks to the government’s
antiterrorism policies, whatever the latter may be.”
After establishing his case for the threat of conspiracies, Sunstein says that “the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups”.
Not one to simply draw criticisms, the pro-active Sunstein laid out five possible strategies which the social engineers managing the population could deploy to defuse this growing threat saying:
“(1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing.
(2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.
(3) Government might itself engage in counter speech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories.
(4) Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in counter speech.
(5) Government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help”.
(I’ll let you think about which of these prescriptions were put into action over the ensuing 12 years.)
Cass
Sunstein was particularly sensitive to this danger largely because: 1)
he was a part of a very ugly conspiracy himself and 2) he is a
world-renowned behaviorist.
The Problem of Reality for Behaviorists
As
an economic behaviorist and lawyer arguing that all “human rights”
should be extended to animals (blurring the line separating human
dynamics from the law of the jungle as any fascist must), Sunstein
has spent decades trying to model human behavior with computer
simulations in an effort to “scientifically manage” such behavior.
As
outlined in his book Nudge (co-authored with Nobel Prize winning
behaviorist Richard Thaler), Sunstein “discovered” that people tend to
organize their behavioral patterns around certain fundamental drives,
such as the pursuit of pleasure, avoidance of pain, and certain
Darwinian drives for sex, popularity, desire for conformity, desire for
novelty, and greed.
One of the key principles of economic behaviorism which is seen repeated in such popular manuals as Freakonomics, Nudge, Predictably Irrational, The Wisdom of Crowds, and Animal Spirits,
is that humans are both biologically determined due to their Darwinian
impulses, but, unlike other animals, have the fatal flaw of being
fundamentally irrational at their core. Since humans are
fundamentally irrational, says the behaviorist, it is requisite that an
enlightened elite impose “order” upon society while maintaining the
illusion of freedom of choice from below. This is the underlying
assumption of Karl Popper’s Open Society doctrine, which was fed to
Popper’s protégé George Soros and which animates Soros’ General Theory
of Reflexivity and his Oxford-based Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET).
This was at the heart of Obama’s science Czar John Holdren’s call for world government in his 1977 Ecoscience (co-written
with his mentor Paul Ehrlich) where the young misanthrope envisioned a
future utopic world governed by a scientifically managed master-class
saying:
“Perhaps those agencies, combined with
UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be
developed into a Planetary Regime- sort of an international superagency
for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive
Planetary Regime could control the development, administration,
conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or
nonrenewable”.
The caveat: If Darwinian impulses
mixed with irrational “animal spirits” were truly all that animated
those systems which behaviorists wish to map and manipulate (aka:
“nudge” with rewards, punishments), then a scientific priesthood would
indeed be a viable and perhaps necessary way to organize the world.
Fortunately, reality is a bit more elegant and dignified than behaviorists wish to admit.
Why Computer Modellers Hate Metaphysics
On
a closer inspection of history, we find countless instances where
people shape their individual and group behavior around sets of ideas
that transcend controllable material impulses. When this
happens, those individuals or groups tend to resist adapting to
environments created for them. This incredible phenomenon is witnessed
empirically in the form of the American Revolution, Warsaw Ghetto
Uprisings, Civil Rights movements, and even some bold manifestations of
anti-lockdown protests now underway around the world.
Among the
most troublesome of those variables which upset computer models are:
“Conscience”, “Truth”, “Intentions”, “Soul”, “Honor”, “God”, “Justice”,
“Patriotism”, “Dignity”, and “Freedom”.
Whenever individuals shape
their identities around these very real, though immaterial (aka:
“metaphysical”) principles, they cannot be “nudged” towards
pre-determined decisions that defy reason and morality. Adherence to
these principles also tends to afford thinking people an important
additional edge of creative insight necessary to cut through false
explanatory narratives that attempt to hide lies behind the appearance
of truth (aka: sophistry).
As witnessed on multiple
occasions throughout history, such individuals who value the health of
their souls over the intimidating (and extremely malleable) force of
popular opinion, will often decide to sacrifice personal comfort and even their lives in order to defend those values which their minds and consciences deem important.
These
rare, but invaluable outliers will often resist policies that threaten
to undo their freedoms or undermine the basis of their society’s
capacity to produce food, and energy for their children and
grandchildren. What is worse, is that their example is often
extremely contagious causing other members of the sheep class to believe
that they too are human and endowed with unalienable rights which
should be defended.
The Intentions Ordering World History
Perhaps,
most “destructive” of all is that these outlier people tend to look for
abstract things like “causes” in historical dynamics shaping the
context of their present age, as well as their current geopolitical
environment.
Whenever this type of thinking is done,
carefully crafted narratives fed to the masses by an enlightened elite
will often fail in their powers to persuade, since seekers after truth
soon come to realize that IDEAS and intentions (aka: conspiracies) shape
our past, present and future. When the dominating intentions
shaping society’s trajectory is in conformity with Natural Law, humanity
tends to improve, freedoms increase, culture matures and evil loses its
hold. Inversely, when the intentions animating history are out of
conformity with Natural Law, the opposite happens as societies lose
their moral and material fitness to survive and slip ever more quickly
into dark ages.
While sitting in a jail in Birmingham Alabama in 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. described this reality eloquently when he said:
“A
just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law
of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral
law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that
degrades human personality is unjust… One has not only a legal but a
moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely one has a moral
responsibility to disobey unjust laws”
From
Plato’s organization of his Academy and efforts to shape a Philosopher
King to beat the forces of the Persian Empire, to Cicero’s efforts to
save the Roman Republic, to Augustine’s battles to save the soul of
Christianity all the way to our present age, conspiracies for the good
and counter-conspiracies for evil have shaped history. If one were to
begin an investigation into history without an understanding that ideas
and intentions caused the trajectory of history, as is the standard
practice among history professors dominant in todays world, then one
would become incapable of understanding anything essential about one’s
own reality.
It is irrelevant that behaviorists and other fascists
wish their victims to believe that history just happens simply because
random short-sighted impulses kinetically drive events on a timeline-
the truth of my claim exists for any serious truth seeker to discover it
for themselves.
Back to our Present Sad State of Affairs
Now
we all know that Sunstein spent the following years working as Obama’s
Regulatory Czar alongside an army of fellow behaviorists who took
control of all levers of policy making as outlined by Time Magazine’s
April 13, 2009 article ‘How Obama is Using the Science of Change’.
As the fabric of western civilization, and traditional values of
family, gender, and even macro economic concepts like “development” were
degraded during this period, the military industrial complex had a
field day as Sunstein’s wife Samantha Power worked closely with Susan
Rice in the promotion of “humanitarian bombings” of small nations under
Soros’ Responsibility to Protect doctrine.
After the Great Reset Agenda was announced in June 2020, Sunstein was recruited to
head the propaganda wing of the World Health Organization known as the
WHO Technical Advisory Group where his skills in mass behavior
modification was put to use in order to counteract the dangerous spread
of conspiracy theories that persuaded large chunks of the world
population that COVID-19 was part of a larger conspiracy to undermine
national sovereignty and impose world government.
The head of WHO described Sunstein’s mandate in the following terms:
“In
the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries are using a range of tools
to influence behavior: Information campaigns are one tool, but so are
laws, regulations, guidelines and even fines…That’s why behavioral
science is so important.”
Today,
hundreds of Obama-era behaviorists have streamed back into influential
positions of government under the new “scientifically managed”,
evidence-based governance coming back to life under Biden promising to
undo the dark days of President Trump.
Ideologues who have been on record calling for world government, the elimination of the sick and elderly (see Obamacare architect Ezekiel Emmanuel’s Why I Hope to Die At 75), and population control are streaming back into positions of influence.
If
you think that anything they have done to return to power is unlawful,
or antithetical to the principles of the Constitution, then these
technocrats want you to know that you are a delusional conspiracy theorist and as such, represent a potential threat to yourself and the society of which you are but a part.
If
you question World Health Organization narratives on COVID-19, or doubt
the use of vaccines produced by organizations like Astra Zeneca due to their ties to eugenics organizations then you are a delusional conspiracy theorist.
If you doubt that global warming is caused by carbon dioxide or that implementing the Paris Climate accords may cause more damage to humanity than climate change ever could, then you must be a conspiracy theorist.
If you believe that the U.S. government just went through a regime change coordinated by something called “the deep state”, then you run the risk of being labelled a delusional threat to “the general welfare” deserving of the sort of treatment dolled out to any typical terrorist.
It
appears that the many comforts we have taken for granted over the past
50-year drunken stupor called “globalization” are quickly coming to an
end, and thankfully not one but two opposing intentions for what the new operating system will be are actively vying for control. This clash was witnessed in stark terms during
the January 2021 Davos Summit, where Xi Jinping and Putin’s call for a
new system of win-win cooperation, multipolarity and long-term
development offset the unipolar zero-sum ideologues of the west seeking
to undo the foundations of industrial civilization.
Either
way you look at it, conspiracies for good and for evil do exist now, as
they have from time immemorial. The only question is which intention do
you want to devote your life towards?
