The real Matrix

How perception, culture and consciousness are subverted by media


First, here is a quote from the American, H L Mencken, the "Sage of Baltimore":

“Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on "I am not too sure.”

Mencken was a journalist, satirist, cultural critic and scholar of American English. He was certainly no saint but he was one of the most influential American writers of the first half of 20th C.

Please bear his quote in mind when you read on.


All the following paragraphs in italics were written in 2013. Well before the recent, ongoing and fake, "fake news" meme.

My comments in bold follow each section. My emphasis is underlined throughout.

"Consider, for instance, the word “liberal”, which I have just used above. The meaning of the word has flipped since the 1960's, and this flipping has been no accident or natural outcome of change. In 1968, a liberal was anti-war and distrustful of the government. If you thought the government was generally benign, that it was waging wars for good reasons, and that its corporate ties were healthy, you weren't a liberal, you were a conservative. That's what conservative implies: conserving the status quo. The government in 1968 was pretty much what it is now, minus a few degrees of evil, so that was the status quo. That was the way things were. If you were happy with that, you were a conservative, because you wished to conserve the current state of things. You were probably profiting from it very well. If not—if you wanted things to change drastically—you were a liberal. You wanted us to get out of Vietnam, quit fighting illegal and immoral wars, and start treating people all over the world better— including our own people.

Today, these terms have flipped in most important ways. It is now liberals who are more likely to be status quo. Liberals or Democrats no longer have much of a problem with continuous and illegal wars. Yes, the current anti-war movement still tends to come out of the Democratic Party, but it is so small it is almost negligible. Most liberals are now fine with war, as long as it benefits their personal portfolio. And polls have indicated for many years that liberals are more likely to trust the government, are more likely to desire a large government, and are less likely to believe conspiracy theories. It is now conservatives that are more likely to distrust the government. This is rich, because we now see many people—and not just the young—who style themselves conservative while acting like 1960's hippies. They may not dress like hippies (although, if they own Harleys, they may), but in many other respects, the similarities are striking. Their political talk is all about freedoms, they wear the “don't tread on me” patch, they fly the flag upside down, and they think of cops as pigs."

The above text is written about the US, but there are many similarities here in the UK too. For instance:

How could it be that here in the UK, the leftish, green, public intellectuals, the people that came from a tradition based on localism, degrowth, bioregionalism, and a fierce critique of international industrial capitalism, could end up supporting a multinational trading block backed by the world's rapacious banks, corporations and NeoLiberal politicians, ie. the European Union?
[Hat tip to Paul Kingsnorth for that summary]

Htf could this happen? What went so wrong?

Well, one of the reasons is that the Matrix is already here. We are all living in it. And left/right mainstream politics is just another a part of it.

Alongside the spooks, the Banksters, the Corporations, the lawyers, the military "defence" complex [offense more like], the media "entertainment" complex [mindfuck more like], the religions, the scientists and, and......

Word warfare has been one of the key tools in the setting up of the Matrix. We've known about it for a long time:

"George Orwell famously warned us of word warfare in 1948, with his Ministry of Truth and its Newspeak, but few have realized how pervasive it already was then, and how ubiquitous it has become since. Although the entire language has been flipped multiple times, most assume Orwell's world is still somewhere in the future: something to look out for. Most see only the obvious examples of Newspeak, like the Patriot Act or the Peacekeeper missile. But these overt cases are the least dangerous, precisely because they are overt. Much more sinister are the thousands of examples that have gone unrecognized. Word warfare has continued to remain mostly undetected, and the difficulty in detecting it has made it especially insidious. The government doesn't even have to ban or discourage study of Orwell, for instance, since it has found that many or most people take a warning of something as evidence it isn't happening. Most assume that because Orwell warned of Newspeak, and because Orwell is not discouraged or banned by the government, the government must not be running Orwellian programs. They assume the instances of Newspeak must be limited to a few high-profile and therefore defused cases, like the ones I mentioned above. Everyone can see through titles like the Peacekeeper missile, right? So how dangerous could that be? It is just an inside joke, right?

Like many other things, propaganda is best hidden in plain sight. It is most covert when placed where people least expect it—which is everywhere all the time. People expect a little buffoonery like the Peacekeeper missile, but they don't expect a Spanish Inquisition. That is, they don't expect everything to be a lie. It never occurs to them that the entire structure around them—language, news, media, entertainment, science, art, everything—is manufactured and false. They can even see a movie like The Matrix, which tells them precisely that, and they think it is something to do with the future, or with robot bugs. But it has nothing to do with the future. Both Orwell's Ministry of Truth and the Matrix have been functional for decades. The book 1984 was written in 1948, and they tell you Orwell switched the last two numbers as a convenience, warning that such a society might arise in about 40 years. But that isn't the right analysis. The year 1948 is important because it is the year after the founding of the CIA. Orwell actually wrote 1984 in 1947, and the book was published in 1948. Well, 1947 is year one of the CIA, which is the real Ministry of Truth, the real Matrix.

Military intelligence has since split into a hundred tentacles, with the CIA now just one of many factions and acronyms. But it is this squid that is the Matrix. It is this squid that is the Ministry of Truth."

The National Security Act became effective in the US on 18th September 1947. The US has been a National Security State ever since. The act enabled both the NSC and the CIA.

It also "reorganised" the US military. It was, in effect, a military coup. And it was the final nail in the coffin of US democracy.

Just look at the Wiki page. Could it say any less?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Act_of_1947


Of course they have maintained the illusion of a democratic system with their Congress and Presidential elections every few years. But Congress and the President are just for show. To keep the plebs thinking that their vote makes a difference. It doesn't. And it hasn't done since 1947, probably before then in fact.

Donald Trump is the current illustration of this. Don't look at what he says. Look at what he does. He has appointed an administration chock, full of senior Matrix individuals, full of senior Goldman Sachs people [5 so far], full of military people, full of Zionists, NeoCons and multi-billionaires. His Chief of Staff is a media man. And the Trump himself is an actor. Ffs could they be any more blatant about it?

One of the little known revelations within the recent Wikileak releases showed how Obumma's cabinet was exactly the same as that recommended to him by....... Citibank! As detailed in this hour long film here:

https://www.corbettreport.com/episode-312-obama-a-legacy-of-ashes/

Maybe it was Goldman Sachs that instructed Trump who to appoint? 😄

In fact Goldman people were all over the Obumma administration as well. Goldman were massive contributors to the Obumma, the Killary "we came, we saw, he died" Clinton and the Trump campaigns too. Left/right means nothing to the Banksters.

Goldman people are all over the EU Establishment as well. Prodi, Monti, Draghi and Barroso all being corrupted by the Goldman "vampire squid".

For copious detail about the disgusting Goldman Sachs then watch another hour long film:

https://www.corbettreport.com/episode-315-meet-goldman-sachs-the-vampire-squid/

Whichever way you look at it this dominance of the Banksters is a clear illustration of the real power pecking order. Mere Presidents are quite some way down the list. Puppets usually are of course.

It is certainly just 'business as usual'. But with a more lippy, and far less cool, puppet than the last one. It is a clear continuum. The National Security State continues with it's dominant Banksters and Corporations, with it's wars, it's financial theft on a gargantuan scale, it's 2 tier justice system etc etc. The main differences between the two "sides" being the noise, and hot air, around the edges. All pumped up by the Matrix media. So much hot air it is stifling.

[It is not the differences between the 2 sides that you need to focus on it is the agreements. They never ever discuss those of course. And the Matrix media is utterly silent on all those issues. Focus on what they don't talk about to get the big picture. Issues like money creation by private banks. And corporate person benefits for their corporations. And the Queens Privy Council and the Royal Prerogative. And, and, and.....]


The Matrix has run an 8 year US puppet cycle for over 30 years now. Daddy Bush. Clinton. Dumb ass Bush. Obama. Now Trump.

Right - left - right - left - right. Forward march - Not!

It amazes me that people fall for this simple con. 8 years of "our" President. 8 years of "theirs". Obumma with his hollow, meaningless "Hope and Change" and his personal drone kill list. Trump with his equally hollow, equally meaningless "Make American great again" and his immediate ramping up of drones in Yemen.

The media winds everybody up and the vitriol flows. To what end? All that emotional energy that could be put to good use but is wasted on an illusion. The National Security State steams along the same old destructive course. Humanity being mere pawns in the game from the insiders POV. It would be funny if it were not so serious.


Is it really any different here in the UK? Is it fundamentally different? Of course it isn't. The UK Deep State has been at it for far longer. It is more subtle than the US. It's media Matrix is slightly less obvious, but not much. We still follow the US unswervingly. Lots of the globalists are based in London. UK mainstream politics is just another flavour of the same kind of US shite.


Anyhow, back to the text.

What about the intellectuals, don't they oppose these word flippers?

Well often they do, but they are either bought onto the Matrix payroll. Or they are simply pushed aside by the official, dumbed down, Matrix culture; sidelined, irrelevant, ignored by the masses who don't even know that they exist.

"It is for this reason that the educated are free to say pretty much whatever they like: it just doesn't matter. They can have all the theories they like, and discuss them amongst themselves, and the CIA sees no good reason to intervene. So what if someone writes a book or paper proving the Matrix and revealing all its subtle forms? The book will not find a publisher, will be limited to a tiny audience, and the government may not even have to post a response or tape a denial. The mainstream media can drown out any real news, proof, or discovery with a million manufactured stories. They don't need to censor or outlaw anything, much less murder anyone, since it is much more efficient to simply bury any truth under a slagheap of fake murders, fake celebrity news, and fake commentary. Why create a martyr when it is much easier to create a pauper? Why kill a story when you can bury it without killing it?

The media is now so controlled and so ubiquitous, it could bury the Second Coming. Jesus could arrive and begin performing miracles and raising the dead, and the mainstream media would simply set up a bigger and brighter tent nextdoor, with more exciting CGI miracles and dead-raising. Christ wouldn't have a chance. He would be forgotten by Friday, pauperized and back in the carpentry business, building endtables for Pottery Barn."


You just know that he is correct in this don't you?

Tip for researchers: Look for "Operation Mockingbird". This is the CIA op from the early 1950's when they brought all the key US media under their control. It is still officially denied and it has another useless Wiki page, with minimal info. But there is plenty of info out there if you care to look. Mockingbird was never really terminated and now, in 2017 then, 90% of the world's media is owned by just 6 massive Corporations! So Wall Street owns most of the worlds media then. Wall Street is of course a key component of the Matrix.

These 6 Corporations are all fully "independent". And they guarantee a "free media" in the West. Really? Just research: "Bilderberg" for clear evidence that those "independent", and "free media", assertions are simply lies. And no the BBC isn't any different. It is fully signed up to the agenda.

[Btw this is also true about scientific publications. 6 companies control 90% of the worlds scientific publications. With similar malign impact no doubt]


Please don't tell me that the internet, or social media, are uncontrolled exceptions. Of course they aren't. 

They now pay whole armies of internet trolls, literally. The US & UK armed forces openly admit that they now have large specialist online units. To combat those pesky Rooskies they say. If you believe that then you'll believe anything.............

They fund, and therefore control, most of the alt media, the internet "opposition", too, the vast majority for sure.

They can censor, or delete, whatever content they want out of all social media. And they do.


How times change. We now live in a mad world of illusion, magic and faith.

Which is mainlined into human consciousness via the ubiquitous screen.

A screen world where nobody can possibly tell fact from fiction, so they don't even bother to try.

I saw it on the news, so it must be true.......

All this is aided by the deplorable degradation of Ejukashun too. I've already blogged about this here:

http://petefairhurst.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/how-to-dumb-down-people.html

The people are losing, rather never even acquiring, the ability to think critically. The people are dumber than their ancestors from 100 years ago! It's no surprise given what they are up against.

Younger generations are even losing the ability to communicate face to face it seems. Their screen, and/or headphone, defence is always available. And it is frequently used to avoid real world conversation. Certainly with unsightly old giffers like me and much more widely too.

Sigh..... The fascists took control several decades ago and most people didn't even notice.


If the above rang some bells for you then, the whole article is well worth reading:

http://mileswmathis.com/matrix.pdf

ps

Is Mathis genuine then? Is Corbett genuine? Who knows. The very nature of a Limited Hangout is that a bucket load of truth is larded with insidious disinfo. Which is truth and which is disinfo then? It's very hard to spot the disinfo. There are many subtle techniques, like Neuro Linguistic Programming for instance.

Here is one definition of NLP that I have seen:

"A system of affecting the behavior or opinions or thoughts of another person or persons without their knowing you have done so, usually through the use of subtextual or subliminal cues, be they verbal or written.’ In other words, you talk about one subject, but what you’re really saying is something else. NLP is a version of mind control. Agencies like the CIA and other intelligence groups, plus the ‘business’ known as Public Relations are especially known for using NLP."

So, considering this together with my closing remarks then, both Mathis and Corbett could be Limited Hangouts.

I'm pretty sure that Snowden and Assange are LHs. They get too much mainstream coverage for them not to be. And Wikileaks has links directly into the heart of the globalist establishment, see here:

https://gizadeathstar.com/2017/03/that-wikileaks-thing/

You just need to think critically about it. And then form your own opinion. And even when you identify a LH then you can still learn a lot of truth if you are discerning. You will not be right all the time and you've just got to accept that.

And that leads me right back to my opening quote with its emphasis on skepticism, and tolerance.

Blind faith in the Age of Reason

And it may be the end of us all

More from Dimitri.

Underlining and bold is my emphasis.

Intro:

"A great divide runs through the world. On one side you have people who insist that they love Jesus and that you should too, or who prostrate themselves toward of Mecca several times daily, wear a hijab and/or grow out their beards and mustaches. The bearded and mustachioed women among them generally prefer to wear a burqa instead, and who can blame them. On the other side you have those who consider themselves educated, and therefore enlightened, and who look down upon the Jesus-lovers. They generally decline to do the same for the Muslims, at least in public, out of political correctness. Instead of finding succor and solace in their faith, this latter group seeks to achieve the same effect by popping pills.

I believe that I am in a position to help bridge this gap because I have spent a lifetime on both sides of it without experiencing any cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, I am an engineer by training and had a career in high energy physics designing equipment for experiments that tried to find out whether protons decay, why there is so much more matter than antimatter in the universe, and just how precisely can we measure a certain physical constant before the project runs out of money. On the other hand, I am ordained as Reader in the Orthodox Church, know how to chant in Church Slavonic and am generally conversant with the culture and the rituals of Orthodox Christianity. In the interest of helping people understand each other better, I want to try to bridge this gap by posing and answering a few probing questions"

Close:

"Do you believe in Santa Klaus? Silly question! Only little children believe in Santa Klaus. But then lots of people who are too old to believe in Santa Klaus nevertheless volunteer annually to become possessed by the spirit of Santa Klaus. This causes them to don red, white-trimmed outfits, paste on large fake beards, say “Ho-ho-ho!” a lot and hand out presents. They don’t believe in Santa Klaus, but they do apparently believe in his ability to make children happy. This is an important point: faith does not require spirit. Do you believe in the Post Office? If you do, what you believe in is the Post Office’s ability to deliver mail. My faith in the Post Office was sorely tested in the course of my recent book-mailing campaign.

Whatever it is you believe in, be it a spirit or a government service, you believe in its effectiveness in achieving a certain objective, be it making children happy, making adults feel better about themselves or achieving your own peace of mind, you are a believer. When the Beatitudes are read and the meek in the audience hear “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth,” [Matthew 5:5] you may observe for yourself that the meek perk up a bit. This may lead you to believe in the ability of the spirit of Jesus to make people feel better, and a spirit that can do that is not one to turn up your nose at.

By now you may be thinking that belief in spirits may be useful after all, but then what about the use of reason? Isn’t reason the supreme human achievement, replacing many centuries of atavistic belief in spirits and things invisible? Shouldn’t all of us advanced, educated people be data-driven and rely on the scientific method?

Before I answer this question, let me add another element: belief in spirits can be viewed as an end in itself because it opens up one’s senses in unexpected ways. Here is a trivial example: if I look at a page of Church Slavonic on a web page while listening to it sung on Youtube, I can actually smell incense—an instance of synesthetic perception. But it goes much deeper than that and becomes an immersive experience. Most people are born being able to see, hear, smell, taste and touch. But with a bit of practice they can also learn to directly sense spirit—a sense that is inaccessible to the scientific method and therefore disregarded by the skeptical mind, but that is nevertheless intensely real to those who possess it.

Unscientific though this is, directly sensing spirit is very potent medicine for whatever ails you—far beyond anything science can offer. In a word, it gives people joy. But in all my years working in hard science I have never witnessed joy. Not a single scientist was seen transported with scientific rapture. On the level of emotions and sensations, the scientific pursuit is all about ambition and pride on the one hand and fear of failure and humiliation on the other, adding a bit of stress to spice up a great deal of tedium. And then there is an important irrational factor: the huge amount of ego invested in their game motivates scientists, engineers and technologists to push the only tool they have—reason—with wild abandon.


And then there are the abysmal results from exercising their reasoning faculties with wild abandon. The Age of Reason is said to have dawned around 1800, thanks to Thomas Paine. In the two centuries since then we have used reason to despoil our one and only planet so severely that species are now going extinct 1,000 to 10,000 faster than before and our own survival as a species is seriously threatened. Our vaunted reason has allowed us to create a planetary-scale machine that is blindly burning through the entire accessible store of fossilized carbon, severely disrupting the climate, and has led us to create a military machine that has destroyed country after country and that may end up killing us all. But reason is impotent in helping us shut down any of these machines.


Here we come to the crux of the matter: by now lots people around the world have little to no faith in reason left—specifically, in the ability of human reason to achieve anything other than more mindless destruction of their society and of our planetary habitat. Instead of trusting reason, they would prefer to put their faith in the spirits that have guided humanity through many millennia. Note that throughout that time we posed no existential threat to our own survival or to the planet’s ability to sustain a diversity of life. If you tell those who have become skeptical of your abilities to exercise reason that they are ignorant, uneducated, atavistic throwbacks to a primitive era, why should they listen? After all, many of the facts—which is all that you are allowed to reason with—are not on your side. And if they do listen and throw it back at you that your faith in reason is blind faith, how will you convince them otherwise?


It may well turn out that reason is an evolutionary dead end for our species and that putting all of our faith in reason is a suicidal move. Reason’s practitioners have turned out to be a bunch of sorcerer’s apprentices, setting in motion machines that they don’t know how to shut down because their reason is too feeble. Yet many of them still see it fit to opine on all the things that exist and to declare that because spirit is not a thing it therefore doesn’t matter. To an outside observer they themselves appear possessed by a certain spirit. I will leave it to you to work out what that spirit is."

Powerful and interesting stuff I expect that you will agree. Anyone who has been in a large football crowd will understand what he means by spirit.
And it is very difficult to argue with his point that we have been destroying the planet at an ever increasing rate since the dawn of the Age of Reason. See my last post for just one example.
More human spirit and less relentless economic, and most other forms of, "growth" seems appropriate to our current circumstances wouldn't you say?
I cheated and just gave you the intro and the punchlines. His argument builds as the article progresses.

The real nuclear threat

No, it's not Donald Trump

You may be aware of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe in Japan, it is bad bro.

3 reactors melted down after the Tsumani about 5 years ago. They are polluting, and killing, the Pacific Ocean.

The Japanese authorities do not know where the nuclear fuel is. All that they know is that it is somewhere underneath the reactors.

And that the groundwater from the nearby hills is flowing through the site and into the Pacific Ocean every day.

The radiation is so intense that a human exposed to it for 1 minute would die.

Electronic robots last a few minutes before their control systems seize up.

The problem requires an immediate technological leap forward which has not yet been forthcoming. 5 years on and no solution is in sight.

It is a human catastrophe of incalculable proportions. But the controlled main media ignores the story. Mustn't scare the sheeple.......... Scared sheeple stop spending. Can't be having that can we.........

All this is bad enough but there is an even worse threat on the horizon: Ukraine.

If you only read/watch the controlled main media then you might have the impression that those pesky Russians fucked up Ukraine. You would be totally wrong. It was the fascists in the US and EU that fucked up Ukraine. The Rooskies were in fact bemused onlookers. The Maiden coup was US funded and US run. Old George Soros, the Wests favourite oligarch, was in the thick of it as usual. The EU was complicit. And Ukraine is now a failed state as a result.

This is all easily proven if you know where to look. Don't believe me? You've swallowed all the main media bullshit? Well more fool you. I'm not going to point out the detailed sources in this post. I've got bigger fish to fry; the real nuclear threat

Here is a copy of a recent article from a Russian emigre, Dimitri Orlov. Read him carefully, his info is rock solid. My comments at the end:

"On January 26, 2017 the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Science and Security Board has moved up its Doomsday Clock 30 seconds closer to metaphorical midnight, and it now stands at just 2.5 minutes to midnight. Why did the Board decide to make this change? Essentially, “because Donald Trump.” In other news, the Board also observed that although the Paris climate accord is a good thing, the climate is pretty close to midnight as well.

These are very serious people: well-educated, professional, some Nobel Prize winners—in a word, experts. We should trust their word. But then they trust Donald Trump’s word. What gives? Apparently, none of them are experts on Donald Trump. I don’t pretend to be one either, so for the paragraph that follows let me turn it over to my old friend and resident expert on all things Trump, Captain Obvious.

“If you look at Trump’s business dealings, he has been consistently cautious and risk-averse. If you look at his political maneuverings, and glance briefly at his book, https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399594493 The Art of the Deal, you discover that his negotiating technique always involves making an extreme first offer, then seeking compromise. And if you look at his Twitter feed, you discover that he loves to troll people. Have these respected Atomic Scientists been trolled? It would certainly appear that way…”

And so I remain entirely unimpressed by the untestable hypothesis espoused by the atomic experts that Trump’s mouth is capable of moving the minute hand of the doomsday clock. But I am even less impressed by something else: the complete and utter failure of these nuclear sages to understand what the actual nuclear threat is, which is, at this moment, becoming quite extreme. For this they may perhaps be forgiven; if all they do is read and listen to Western media sources, then they would never find out anything about it. Western intelligence sources are no better, seeing as they appear to have been “hacked by the Russians.”

In fact, it would appear that the only way to get an inkling of what’s really going on… and that is to pay attention to the Russians themselves. Here are some links:

Yes, it’s all in Russian, and no, GoogleTranslate is not your friend, there being no substitute for at least six semesters of Russian.

But here—http://www.unz.com/tsaker/the-donbass-is-breaking-away-from-an-agonizing-ukraine/— you can find a good English-language update to the overall situation in the Ukraine. Unfortunately, it ignores the nuclear risk dimension. The Saker is good, but there is a big piece of the picture that is missing, so please read his article first, and then I will fill in the rather important details.

First, some background. The Ukraine inherited a very impressive energy sector from the USSR, which includes 15 nuclear reactors, huge hydroelectric installations and lots of thermal generating capacity that uses natural gas and coal. With the exception of three nuclear reactors that have been refueled by Westinghouse (with mixed results; their fuel rods tend to warp and jam, disabling the reactor) all of the Ukraine’s nuclear fuel comes from a single supplier in Russia. All of the Ukraine’s natural gas comes from Russia as well, but since Ukrainian politicians don’t want to work with Russia for nationalistic reasons, Russian gas now comes to the Ukraine from the West, and at a higher cost. Also, there isn’t enough of it. The Ukraine’s coal-fired thermal generation facilities were designed to burn Ukrainian coal—specifically, anthracite—which specifically comes from the Donbass region, which is now under separatist control.

A bit more background, and then we can move on to what the actual risk is. Electricity demand fluctuates hour to hour and day to day. Peak electricity demand is in the morning and in the evening, with higher demand during weekdays than at night or on weekends. Nuclear, hydroelectric, coal-fired and gas-fired generation facilities all differ in how well they can compensate for changes in electricity demand by ramping up and down. Hydroelectric is by far the most flexible, because sluice gates can be opened and closed in minutes, cutting turbines in and out of production. Gas is quite flexible as well, followed by coal. Nuclear is the least flexible, because nuclear fuel produces heat by breaking down along a decay chain that consists of many radioactive isotopes that decay at different rates—some fast, some slow—giving the entire system tremendous inertia. Unless a nuclear reactor is ramped up and down quite slowly, the energy output will not be directly proportional to the control input. If the operator is careless, it is possible to cause a meltdown, as happened in the Ukraine at Chernobyl in April of 1986.

Since the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in the spring of 2014, the Ukrainian economy, which hasn’t been doing well ever since the USSR fell apart, has gone into a nosedive, with double-digit annual GDP declines, turning it into a country of refugees and paupers. Until then, the Ukraine had some very impressive industrial capacity, which it inherited from the USSR, and which was wedded to Russian industry through a multitude of business relationships. When in 2014 Ukrainian nationalists seized power, they started working hard to cut these ties, and much of the industry shut down. It was this industry, working in shifts round the clock, that provided the base load of electric demand that the nuclear power plants provided for so nicely.

With the dramatic decrease in industrial activity, base load has been much reduced. With natural gas imports restricted due to the inability of the Ukrainians either to negotiate a discount with the Russians or to pay the full price for the gas they need, their ability to maneuver using gas-fired power plants has been much reduced. And with the civil war in Eastern Ukraine, the supplies of coal have been reduced too.

And now came the coup de grâce. A small group of armed Ukrainian nationalists decide to blockade the Donbass, to make a political point. Although it should have been trivial for the Ukrainian army to remove this unauthorized group, so profound is the state of political decay there that nothing was done or even said about them. In response, the separatist authorities in the Donbass have announced a counter-blockade, and will no longer export coal to the Ukraine. They will export it to Russia instead.

Keep in mind, what the Ukrainian coal-fired plants need is not just any coal but anthracite, and the only place where they could possibly get it from is the Donbass. First, there just aren’t that many sources of anthracite left in the world. But even if the Ukraine could find a way to burn the lower grades—lignite and bituminous coal—it doesn’t have the ports to receive the imports. Remember, all of Ukrainian industrial capacity is part of the Soviet legacy, and Soviet central planners didn’t plan on any coal imports.

The result is that nuclear power is now responsible for 60% of the Ukraine’s electricity generation, while coal and gas-fired generation has plummeted by 39%. What this implies is that the nuclear reactors are being cycled up and down on a daily basis—a prescription for disaster. This is being accompanied by skyrocketing electricity rates and widespread power outages—not a situation that is conducive to social stability in a country that is already a failed state, overrun by roving gangs of heavily armed thugs. The rabidly nationalistic among them—such as those who blockaded the Donbass—may very well decide to blockade deliveries of Russian nuclear fuel, and then what?

Even before that happens, the relentless ramping up and down of the Ukraine’s remaining 15 nuclear reactors will sooner or later lead to breakdowns and quite possibly to meltdowns. How is a failed state rife with separatist sentiment (not just in the Donbass, but also in Mariupol, Odessa, Kharkov and other regions) supposed to cope with nuclear calamities in the midst of widespread power outages? Some voices in Russia are proclaiming that to avert multiple nuclear catastrophes in the heart of Europe it is essential to take the Ukraine’s nuclear installations under international control. The only ones who can actually make it happen are Russian special forces (such as the ones who just rubbed out ISIS in Palmyra). Faced with the prospect of 14 Chernobyls on its doorstep, the European Union is unlikely to object. Of course, this will bring to an end the Ukraine’s latest, and so far the longest, experiment with independence, and will spell the end of the Ukraine as a supposedly sovereign national entity.

And so this, I feel, is the greatest nuclear threat currently facing humanity. Unlike the bedandruffed professorial types who hyperventilated over Trump’s tweets and determined that it is now precisely 3.5 minutes to midnight, I am not going to set any timelines. Nor do I recommend standing idly by and watching what’s left of the Ukraine degenerate into a Somalia or a Libya with 15 Fukushimas."

Stunning stuff I am sure that you will agree. The US & EU fascists have turned Ukraine into a failed state. And the whole of humanity is threatened as a result.

But hey, never mind all that. Keep watching your TV. Keep staring at your smartphone. Keep looking at your social media. Keep your head up your ass [where the powers that be want it].

Keep being utterly distracted by mindless shite in other words. Don't worry your pretty little heads about this sort of stuff. Above all keep CONSUMING....

Finally, what about Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, Barak Obummer, Teresa MayorMaynot, Jeremy Corbyn, Hollande, Merkel etc etc? Will any of the "democratic" puppets address this?

What do you think?

Mr Global and the Eurofascists

Post war Nazi smoke and mirrors

I recently saw this interesting post by Joseph P Farrell which includes, towards the end, his usual "high octane speculations". In other words his speculative opinion based on known facts. I present a couple of short extracts here, followed by my own comments:

"This important article was shared by Ms. B. and Mr. D.W., and I have to talk about it simply because, as most readers familiar with my books are aware, I've posited the existence of a post-war "Nazi International". For those unfamiliar with this concept, however, a brief review would be helpful. By the terms "Nazi International" or "Fascist International", I mean to designate not merely the survival of Nazism and Fascism. Most people are aware that Nazis and Fascists survived World War Two, if for no other reason than by dint of famous novels like Ira Levin's The Boys from Brazil or the movie version with Gregory Peck playing a post-war Dr. Mengele conducting genetics experiments to clone Adolf Hitler himself, and Sir Lawrence Olivier playing a Jewish Nazi hunter determined to stop him. Most people have the idea of post-war surviving Nazis and Fascists hiding out in the wilds of South America, living cushy lives in remote enclaves far from the roving bands of the Mossad hunting them down and (occasionally) finding their prey (Adolf Eichmann).

Levin's famous novel and the famous movie based on it, however, make a more sobering point, and it is exactly the point I have argued in my books: post-war Nazi survival was far from a disorganized rabble simply hiding out in South America. It was organized, financially very well off, deeply interconnected with various levels and agencies of postwar governments and corporations around the world, but it was also possessed of an independent intelligence capability, including the ability to mount covert and "wet" operations, and as well able to conduct and continue some of its wartime black projects and research. Essentially, it is a kind of extra-territorial state, deeply intertwined with other such transnational power networks. Even Levin's fanciful "plotline" of Mengele conducting advanced genetics projects may have had some kernel of truth, given that only a few years ago a Brazilian village suddenly started producing children with blonde hair and blue eyes from a predominantly Brazilian Indian population. And as for covert post-war operations, in Germany itself there is the famous (though now largely forgotten) episode of the Werner Naumann coup attempt to overthrow the government of Chancellor Adenauer in Bonn and install a new Nazi government, a coup which I detailed in my book The Third Way."

and

"As for Hans Globke and the Nazi influences within the postwar Chancellery, these too I detailed in The Third Way. As I pointed out in that book, many of these influences extend far beyond the German government, into the postwar institutions of "the Europe project." I detailed in that book as well the strong resemblance of the current European Union structure to wartime plans drafted by the Reichsbank, I.G. Farben, and in conjunction and coordination with their Italian Fascist counterparts."

I have read Joseph's book, whose full title is: "The Third Way: The Nazi International, European Union and Corporate Fascism", from cover to cover and twice. It is a fascinating read and it provides copious details about the origins of the European Union which are rooted in the German elites. Yes, those same elites that facilitated the Nazis. The massive German corporations, their industrial cartels, who all survived the war virtually intact, were at the heart of the EU project. Many of their operatives took key positions in the European Economic Community, the fledgling EU superstate. It was big corporations setting the political agenda. ie. Fascism, by definition.

This agenda was also coincident with US objectives for Europe. The US deep state, and many of the big US corporations, wanted a supra national entity to handle European affairs and to facilitate their control of their de facto Empire. They started working for this with the Marshall Plan immediately after WW2 and they never let up. It continues to this day.

[Why is it, do you think, that when the US deep state says to a European politician "jump!" then, all European politicians always now reply "how high?". Historical note: One of the few that didn't was Charles De Gaulle, a true French patriot who waved 2 fingers at Uncle Sam. He even took France out of NATO. A display of independence that is unthinkable now. He retired in 1969 and we've not seen his like since. In fact the current crop of European "leaders", Merkel, Hollande and co, are the most blatantly obvious US ciphers. They don't even try to hide the fact]


Further, I have also read "Blowback" by Christopher Simpson, written in 1988, which covers in detail the US's spooks "Operation Paperclip" the post WW2 operation to transfer senior Nazis to the US. The secret operation is admitted now. It even has its own Wiki page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip

The story of the rocket scientists is now known by many. But Simpson gives a much fuller chapter and verse in his book. He explains how the small number of Nazis that they admit to is way too low. His estimate is that over 70,000 of the more influential Nazis found shelter in the good old US of A. It was a massive operation and most of them got US citizenship as a result.

[Simpsons book was suppressed at the time. I wonder why? I easily found a second hand copy last year]

The US spooks defied the US Congress which had passed a law making it illegal to give citizenship to ex Nazis. The spooks simply ignored Congress and secretly protected over 70k important Nazis, who became members of the US Establishment. That fact alone gives you a good idea of where the real power lies in the US. Hint: It's not with "democratically" elected politicians.

[The spooks really work for the Trillionaires, and their key operatives, of course. All conveniently funded by the US taxpayer. That's right folks - keep paying your tax, it's all in a good cause]

Simpson also provides chapter and verse about the US deal with Reinhard Gehlen who ran the wartime Fremde Heere Ost (Foreign Armies East) Nazi intelligence network. Obviously the US was very interested in Russian intel during the cold war. The fact that Gehlen was an important Nazi mattered not one jot. The deal with Gehlen was in fact at the center of Operation Paperclip. Gehlen has his own Wiki page too:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhard_Gehlen

Of course, as you would expect from the fully controlled Wiki, the real history is suppressed, whitewashed if you like. They even claim that Gehlen was a minor player in the Claus von Stauffenberg plot to kill Hitler. And that he got lucky and wasn't arrested like all the others! An obvious attempt to whitewash Gehlen. And obvious bullshit too, even if the plot itself is true.

[Which it probably isn't. The plot has been shown to be a probable German false flag]

However, even Wiki admits that Gehlen became the first head of the BND, the modern German intelligence outfit. The BND is the German equivalent to CIA, MI6 etc etc.

So the first head of the BND was a Nazi then.

[I bet they didn't mention that at school when they gave you their "little bit of history" lessons]

This meant that the BND was effectively controlled by the US spooks. The CIA and/or one, or more, of the dozen or so, alphabet soup, US three letter agencies. They directly controlled all their Nazi spies in their West German network, the BND.

[All conveniently paid for by the German taxpayer]

So fascists were all over the post war US and EU Establishments then.

The fascists in London, and New York, already being well established of course. Since well before WW1 in fact, see my earlier post, "Who pulls the strings?":

http://petefairhurst.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/who-pulls-strings.html


Plenty of food for thought with all this I think. And so, in conclusion:

All those fascist geopolitical actions by the US Empire since WW2 maybe make a bit more sense now that you know about some of this? I've only scratched the surface in truth. There is far more.

And all this is even more evidence that the official academic history, as taught to all schoolkids, and trotted out regularly by the tv and media, is very partial. It misses so many important facts. Which is why I labelled it "seriously dodgy" in my earlier post, "Who pulls the strings?". In fact calling it seriously dodgy is putting it very mildly indeed.


Finally, these so called "historians" of academia would have you believe that the fascists in uniform, those Nazis and their Italian, and Spanish, mates, were the only real fascists of any note. And that their defeat in WW2 was a comprehensive defeat for fascism.

But this is simply not true. It is a purposeful distraction.

The fascists were not defeated in WW2, far from it, they just moved into the shadows of the unaccountable Western Establishment. The bad guys of the hidden elites were the original fascists, even before the Nazis, and they are all still in place. At least their descendants are.

[Their bloodlines have persisted for many centuries, millennia in fact. This is one of their defining characteristics]

So it's not the overt political fascists that we really need to worry about. They are usually just controlled opposition, and tiny in numbers.

It's the covert Establishment fascists that are the real problem. Our hidden rulers who lurk in the shadows. The Trillionaires and their peers, plus their numerous operatives, who are less occult-ed, but, who usually do their masters bidding.

[They are a serious cohort, because, say, 0.1% of 7 billion humans is 700,000 people. The exact number is impossible to know, but the order of magnitude must surely be in the right area]

I am clearly not just talking about mainstream politicians, far from it. There are many that are even more important than politicians in this cohort. There are the numerous intelligence agents, the banksters, the executives of the multinational corporations, the senior legal people, the senior military "defence" complex people, the senior media people, the senior religious people, and many more.

They are not a completely homogeneous group either. There are many factions within this global, mafia like, cabal. Different factions prevail at different times too. But, at root, they are all on the same side, and it's not our side. They are not on the peoples side.

Politicians across the globe are undoubtedly very useful to this mafia like cabal. They often make important day to day decisions. But the policy is decided elsewhere, in more secretive places than mere parliaments. In fact politicians are primarily for presentational purposes, for tv and media, and propaganda. They present the elites decisions as though they are their own. They are often mere actors who are comparatively low down in the pecking order.

These stooges serve to distract us from our real problem and they are very effective implementing the elites divide and rule strategy. The politicians divide us all the time don't they. They divide us even when both options offered are obvious fakes. Witness Clinton and Trump last year. With all the hatred and hot air that was generated, and is still being generated.

I have recently heard ordinary people, who actually describe themselves as "socialist", calling for the assassination of Trump ffs! As though assassinating a puppet/clown will make any real difference! This division of us the people, this splintering of us into many opposing groups, is one of the elites key control tools. Instead of tolerance for differing opinions we find bigotry all around us, on all sides. And so much anger between the various sides. Anger that is focused in entirely the wrong place.

It is so sad because it plays straight into the bad guys hands. Together we the people could prevail. Divided we've got no chance, we are lambs to the slaughter.

The occult-ed fascists are in control, they have been for ages, but hardly anyone seems to notice.
