    The podcast with Naomi Wolf took a bizarre turn at the end.
    I have been noticing a trend wherein there is a seemingly intentional effort to blame our current global problems on "good vs evil" or "alie-ums from outer space" or "pagan gods" or "satan"

    The people who suddenly have come to this conclusion have a few things in common:
    -they are influencial among groups resistant to the propaganda messages,
    -they went against the narrative(s)
    -they are intelligent and educated enough to know better.

    It is obvious to anybody who has read a minimal amount of history that people have caused problems like this in the past and are doing it again today.
    The next question is why they have suddenly decided to tell people it is from an abstract, metaphysical source;
    Are they protecting the guilty parties, like Fauci, Myorkas, Soros?
    Have they been threatened by powerful people?
    Is it meant to discourage active resistance by implying you can't fight against the gods or fate?
    Is it meant to distract from the idea that Covid was in fact a test run and we are due for another round sometime in the near future?


    The people who were smart enough to objectively and logically analyze the situation came to the conclusion they should not take the vax or believe the narratives.
    Our three letter agencies and globalists seem to believe the people who resisted the vax did so because they are open minded or amenable to alternative viewpoints.
    Now, they have apparently decided our open-mindedness will also make us susceptible to fantastical, unevidenced theories.

    Fuck your social engineering at The Frankfurt School, we aren't buying the bullshit!

    Did you ever read Dr. Mary's Monkey? JFK aside, I found the whole polio vax/monkey virus transmission to humans interesting.

    Are you sure you linked to the right interview? It's over eight months old. I found a newer one on the channel, which is what I think you meant to link to:

    Israel's War on Gaza w. Ron Unz

    I didn't listen to the one you linked (probably will at some point), but I did listen to this one, and it was great. Thanks for the suggestion. My number one draft pick for the Ask a Jew fantasy league is definitely Ron Unz.

    No, I haven't. But the extended title, "How the unsolved murder of a doctor, a secret laboratory in New Orleans and cancer-causing monkey viruses are linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK assassination and emerging global epidemics", is epic.

    I wrote up a draft of some thoughts inspired by the same part of the interview, but my take is very different than yours. I'm going keep it on the back burner for a while longer and let it stew before I post it. I'll also add some additional thoughts that address the thrust of your argument, which I believe is missing some important considerations.

    I don’t believe there’s any meaningful difference between the decline of the US and Australia. Guns are not slowing the decline.

    Better to shoot the bastard and live than let him kill or rape you.
    Our citizens will not be stupid enough to abide by these phony legal proceedings forever.

    Without guns, you don't get to choose to defend yourself in this situation.
    I hate to be a doomer but I don’t believe that will happen on scale large enough to matter. Even with an anarcho tyranny, communities can spontaneously band together and “not see a thing” as the known scumbag got hot in broad day light on the mainstreet. The “he needed killing” scenario. I believe this has happened a few times in history.
    This isn’t going to happen any more for 2 reasons. 1, because it requires a culturally homogenous community that shares the same values. Immigration has destroyed this. And 2, because there’s almost no way the state wouldn’t be aware due to the pervasive level of surveillance technology available.

    Ron Unz makes a survey of popular American writers and media voices that were purged from public life in the early 40s, as FDR sought to go to war. At the time, where would someone like Tucker Carlson have gone? His only option would have been to be published in fly-by-night pamphlets, give speeches to local gatherings, and rely on word of mouth. In other words, he would have been completely forgotten, like so many of the names Unz fishes out from the American memory hole.

    We tend to think that COVID narrative strong arming was bad, but from a propaganda perspective, it was actually pretty weak and ineffective compared to successes of the past:
    Stories like this are one of the few white pills left, even in the 20th century alone I am shocked by the lengths the US government has gone too, off the top of my head the US military has been deployed against the populace using lethal force 3 times I think?? In the 20th century alone, they dropped bombs from planes in one instance. And it’s all just disappeared into history despite the fact there are people alive who remember it. I’d like to know what the common theme for things returning to baseline is. Although the lack of justice is a problem.

    Hardly. If anything, I think you are the one still dealing with trauma at how shamefully the Australians behaved in the three years. This “we are all the same” argument is not uncommon in situations like that.

    Fashion >> Logic - by Arnold Kling - In My Tribe

    There are many beliefs out there that I think are toxic and out of touch with reality. “Queers for Palestine!” “Keep Government’s Hands Off My Medicare!” And so on. Antisemitism is just one crazy belief among many that have caught on with young elites.

    Rob Henderson uses the term “luxury beliefs” to describe beliefs that are impractical and harmful unless you have the affluence to afford them. I prefer the term fashionable beliefs.

    A fashionable belief is one that will raise, or at least maintain, your status among your peers, regardless of whether it makes sense. For example, I speculate that young, affluent teenagers are increasingly declaring themselves LGBTQ+ because it is fashionable to do so.

    I may be wrong; I would like to hear your opinion on it.
    I had been noticing this trend to place blame on vague, mysterious forces long before the Wolf podcast.
    I began noticing it more and more, starting earlier this year when US Congressmen and government officials recommended people lock their doors to protect themselves against the aliens from outer space.

    I can only speculate on the intentions, but it appears to once again be happening in a coincidentally coordinated, lockstep manner.
    Wernher Von Braun, one of the century's most brilliant scientists, reportedly warned about the alien diversion strategy from the globalists and intelligence agencies before his death.
    Of course, it is possible some individuals may have altruistic, if disingenuous, intentions for blaming the metaphysical or religious rather than the people who actually caused the problems.

    I don't know who celebrates and who doesn't but I'm an Aussie and we will do anything for a public holiday so Merry Christmas to you Mr. Rippetoe and to all you other fine folks too.

    I'm grateful for your work, and this forum and I'm excited to push myself bigger and stronger now that I can finally walk on my own two feet again.

    And because we are ahead of you in climate change, we are going to have steaks on the bbq for lunch today in the middle of an average summer.
