We observe what we expect, and nobody is exempt: the Birdemic, Heinkel He 113, and Scarecrow Shells

An RAF spotters guide to identifying the He 113 - an aircraft that did not exist. 

The extent to which it is true that we see what we expect is much greater than usually believed, and few if any people are exempted. The most highly trained and expert observers are susceptible as much as, or perhaps even more, than the naive and inexperienced (as suggested by The Emperor's New Clothes fable). 

The way this works is mainly in terms of interpreting and explaining phenomena - in making sense of our sensory observations. 

After all, we cannot observe any-thing, without an interpretative framework, scheme, or built-in expectations; that draw a boundary around the "thing", to distinguish it from the boundless mass of visual and other stimuli. 

There are many examples:

1. The Heinkel He 113 fighter aircraft in the Battle of Britain, WW II. 

This was an invention of German propaganda, and did not exist as an operational aircraft; but was spotted, fought, shot-down in considerable numbers by RAF pilots, anti-aircraft gunners etc who had been taught about it in official British documentation. In other words, it was seen by highly-trained people who in most cases had almost superhumanly accurate eyesight - and whose lives depended on accurate observation.  

2. "Scarecrow" anti-aircraft shells, used against British night bombers in WWII. 

 British Intelligence services told the RAF bomber aircrew that the Germans had devised anti-aircraft artillery that simulated the appearance of an exploding bomber, and not to be fooled. This was false, and the appearance was actually caused by exploding aircraft; but many aircrew saw scarecrow shells. 

3. Human adrenal gland microscope slides.

When I was researching nerves in the human adrenal gland, with the help of a pathologist who was able to obtain tissue samples from people who had died suddenly; I learned that the gland would almost immediately, and even before death, begin to self-destruct when humans had a prolonged or painful death. 

It turned-out that the microscope slides in the anatomy department consisted of such badly damaged adrenal samples, that were full of pus (white blood cells) and with the original structure obliterated. Nonetheless, generations of microscopists - including many with very high levels of microscopic expertise - had seen on these slide what they expected (i.e. an adrenal with a structure like an egg - the "white" being glandular tissue and the inner "yolk" being neural tissue.

4. The Birdemic of 2020.

During the spring and early summer of the Birdemic, the world was saturated with (knowingly false) propaganda that provided a new system for interpretation of the vast filed of human illness. Whether the "real" Birdemic germ actually existed as "sequenced" is unsure; but what is certain is that a majority of the "cases" , including the fatal cases, had what would until a few months previously have been given other diagnoses such as influenza. 

But during the Birdemic, people saw the Birdemic wherever they looked for it - and especially as a cause of death. They used a very broad and inclusive "official" diagnostic template to diagnose Birdemic, a schema which scooped-up all other respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia, and indeed all sorts of other diseases that had some respiratory symptoms - or even just pyrexia (raised temperature (a raised temperature was enough to exclude sick patients from even entering a UK hospital).   

It became very-nearly as if the Birdemic, which was a made-up and unvalidated diagnosis, had become the only genuine medical problem. Even acute and curable cancers were left untreated for many weeks, as all effort was directed at the Birdemic-entity.

It can be seen that essentially everybody is vulnerable to observing what they expect; indeed we can hardly help doing so - and errors are only corrected when an alternative template for interpretation can be provided, and prevails.  

It is therefore crucial to be aware of the source and motivation of those who provide the interpretative schemata by which we understand the world. 

Because when a wrong, distorted, and harmful set of expectations are created and accepted; then the error becomes self-perpetuating.  

***

Note: One major current and recent example relates to "AI" which term has become hyper-inclusively redefined; such as to include already long-standing computer techniques - such as CGI in movies, photo-shopping, speech to text, and text-to-speech. 

All such are swept-up to construct an "epidemic" of "AI" progress, wherever we look! Theories are officially presented a major media asif facts, scares as imminent threats, day-dreams as reality-around-the-corner. A process closely-analogous to the Birdemic. 

Vast numbers of people - especially those with the highest levels of training and expertise in computers, are currently (and increasingly) in thrall to the "AI" conceptualization - and interpret reality in that light. Yet some of these here-and-now AI-dolators saw-through the Birdemic scam... 

Proving that everybody is susceptible, nobody is immune. 

And reminding that our best clue concerning malign instances of manipulation; is to ask who is propagating the interpretative scheme, and what are their likely motivations. 

Then to seek and devise an alternative interpretation of phenomena, on that basis.  

How the Religious Right misinterpret bad as good, decline as progress

 The accelerating national and global success of the ("Sorathic") Agents of Chaos is being misinterpreted as progress for the sociopolitical agenda of the (church-rooted) Religious Right -- much as I predicted would happen some six years ago during the chaotic " summer of antiracism" that followed after the global totalitarian coup of the birdemic

They misinterpret the success of the AoC at weakening social institutions (which are all Left converged) as a resurgence of the Right, and their church.

On the face of it, this is bizzare! Especially in a world of ever more and escalating wars ( and the inevitable consequences)! And continuing mass migration (ATIC).

But there is an internal coherence if:

1. People interpret destruction of their enemies as progress of themselves. 

2. People assume their own church is Fundamentally immune to destruction.

This means that despite the subversion/ corruption/ apostasy/ and feeble faith of their Actual church - such people regard it as Inevitable that their church Will benefit from the ongoing situation of collapsing functionality.

The West (the globalist totalitarian project) is Not "Marxist"

It embarrasses me when anti-Left bloggers use the word "Marxist" to describe modern Western governments and society. 

There are no Marxists in The West now, at least not in politics or public life; and have not been for several decades. 

Indeed; there are in practice no Marxists even among those who proudly embrace the term for themselves! This is evident from what they actually say and actually do: what they make their priorities, and it does not matter to what they merely pay occasional lip-service. 

(Leftism is in its essence incoherent, because oppositional in nature - therefore, in a rhetorical sense, any of its old manifestations may be re-activated at any time, in order to neutralize opposition or garner support for the dominant agenda. Leftists are quite happy to pretend that they still care about the proletariat and will do something effective to help native working men... So long as this does not interfere in any way with their current project - which may be directly opposed to the well-being of the Proletariat; whether this be antiracism, feminism, the Birdemic/ Peck, or currently "AI". Words and promises mean nothing to the ruling Establishment - except as means to manipulate.) 

Marxism was a form of Leftism that had the Economy as its focus; especially economic ownership, and the "distribution" of wealth and/or salaries. 

Economic organization (i.e. nationalization, public ownership) was of great, often central, importance to Marxism. 

And Class was its primary unit of analysis. 

Thus although Marxism was one of the formative ideologies of modern Leftism - so were Abolition, Pacifism, Trades Unionism, Womens' suffrage, and Nonconformist activism (including prohibition). 

However, ancestral influences are not present realities. Long-term incremental evolution eventually makes a qualitative difference.  

In fact: Marxism is long-since dead in The West.

The prevalent and hegemonic Leftism is a post-1960s New Leftism that includes but is not restricted to various mixtures of: antiracism; feminism (i.e. firstly pandering to women, however later favouring some other sexual identities); the sexual revolution (originally advocating promiscuity and divorce, but since continually developing); and CO2-climate-"environmentalism". 

The modern dominant Left is almost entirely uninterested by social class; except where class attitudes are, in practice, inverted: with the "native male proletariat" becoming probably the major demonized group in The West; and globalist finance-billionaires probably the most-influential and admired social grouping - whose strategy conceptualizations statements (especially United Nations Agenda 2030) are fundamental to all Western Establishment strategy. 

The New Left is profoundly uninterested by Nationalization, and indeed the Nation and the people. Indeed- quite the reverse; since international-money vampirizes and discards nations in pursuit of global strategies. 

Accusations of "Marxism" may be evidence of confusion or ignorance on the part of the user; or apparently may be an attempt to discredit a point-of-view,  or sow confusion and weaken opposition. 

But using the word does harm in clouding our understanding of the nature and scope of the Left-themed ideology of dominating globalist totalitarianism.  

Which is why the Marxism-accusation has (much like its inverse "Capitalism") become a hallmark of malign PSYOPS. 

The "concentration camp guard" argument

In relation to today's earlier posts, the following may help concretize and clarify the nature of the argument. It picks up on the pub discussion about whether you or I would refuse to work as a guard in a concentration camp. 

The "concentration camp guard" argument is usually framed as a matter of principles and courage; 

First; whether you or I would recognize the moral principles we currently uphold despite living in a society that propagated the opposite; and 

Secondly whether we would then have the courage to resist coercive social pressure and refuse to do something that we regarded as evil.

  

Leaving-aside the observation that Of Course the person raising the "concentration camp guard" argument would go along with social majority opinion, and would not resist even the mildest of social coercion... 

But would instead enthusiastically embrace and pursue a new career, in what would probably be re-framed as "public-protection and offender-rehabilitation". 

(This, because such is what that kind of person (i.e. people who raise moral dilemma questions of the "concentration camp guard" type) invariably actually does. (e.g. as was/is seen in every Litmus Test issue, but especially the Birdemic-Peck business of 2020.)

But leaving-aside such practical and behavioural considerations, and acknowledging that extremely few people can (or perhaps should) resist extreme social coercion; especially when, as usual, these include sanctions against family and dependents...

The proper question would Not link recognition of true moral values with the capacity to act upon them.  

By linking principles to the need for courageous action - all that we do is to ensure people will modify their principles in order to accommodate the strength of their moral courage.  

As St Paul bitterly complained; there will always be dissonance between a Man's moral principles and his moral behaviour. That is inescapable; because the nature of human beings and mortal life on earth. But it is wicked to seek consistency by adjusting our principles to the reality of our actions.     

What can and should be required of a moral person is simply that he recognize and affirm true principles; that he acknowledge what is evil, and inwardly reject it. 

That recognition, acknowledgement, inner-rejection is what is necessary; and that is what is always possible. (This is what Christians term repentance.)

So; no matter what their own behaviour, or career choices, or social compulsions may be; people should always be able to know that (for instance) concentration camps are evil, and that personally profiting from such an evil is wrong. 

Gogol now surpassed by DDG - a microcosm of the twenty-first century technological trajectory

Nikolai Gogol - an irrelevant portrait (apparently channelling his inner Benny Hill)

For those too young to remember; the search engine that also hosts this blog and which I will therefore call Gogol, was launched in the late 1990s; and developed over the next years into one of the great engineering achievements of the millennial period. 

It was so good by 2004, serving up vast numbers of well-ranked and relevant results (up to millions, maybe billions, of them, if you could be bothered to look); including in real time (showing results, additively, tens of seconds after pages were posted onto the web) that other search engines were irrelevant. 

The Gogol incrementally ceased to be optimized for searching, and (which, presumably, had always been the intention); became orientated first to making money, then to surveillance and ideological control. 

Features were stripped-out - such as real-time searching, relevance ranking; then results became filtered. And now it serves up very few pages at all (a few dozen - at most a couple of hundred). 

Nowadays the results are full of stuff like Facebook and Instagram pages - such that the search results do not even lead to the actual results: do not lead to the sampled passages. 

So good had been Gogol that it took a long time before any of the (supposed) rivals to equal or surpass it in the primary function of web searching and ranking. 

But for the past year-plus; the point has been reached when I am convinced that Gogol has so degraded itself that other algorithms (which used to be qualitatively inferior) are now actually much superior in terms of generating relevant results - for instance DDG.

This is a microcosm of the trajectory of Western civilization through the twentieth century. As real science became all-but extinct, technological progress slowed; then (overall) ceased; then went into reverse - as functionality was first sacrificed, then ignored, in pursuit of totalitarian socio-political mass manipulation. 

So-called AI has accelerated the process - is indeed a key element in the process; since its core net-intent was, from the beginning, civilizationally destructive. 

And the widespread welcoming of "AI" is evidence of the success of The Long-term Plan - which was always and ultimately spiritual, not material.  

For the spiritual agenda to succeed, people must want their own spiritual-enslavement, their own value-degradation - people must be induced willingly to blind-themselves to the motivation and consequences of post-millennial technology.  

Job Done. 

What we ought to do is simple, and within the capacity of literally everybody in all circumstances...

And that is to realize and acknowledge the evil intent behind all of the totalitarian-backed technologies (including not just "AI", but professional science and research, institutional "reforms", EVs, sustainable energies, the Birdemic Peck, establishment-backed medical campaigns... the whole caboodle). 

And inwardly, with heart-felt motivation: decisively-reject that intent. 

But, apparently, this little and simple action is just too much to ask. 

Not a war to win, but a war to destroy

Long-term (six year plus) readers will know of my recurrent "obsession" with the subject of evil; and the nature and definition of evil. 

This is because I believe that the nigh-universal lack of understanding of evil has rendered almost-everybody helpless in the face of a very powerful class of persons who have successfully engaged the hearts and minds of a very high proportion of the population of The West, and many other places. 

Bluntly; lack of understanding of evil has led many hundreds of millions of people (at least) into supporting strategic evil - and with a clear conscience, because they regard that evil as actually "good".

In other words, the inability to understand the nature of evil has led to moral inversion: what is really and intentionally evil is regarded as good, and vice versa.  

And people are not (as they may once have been) merely victims of manipulation - because it is of the nature of evil that once embraced it increases (evil feeds-upon itself).   

Thus we find that the nicest people are, on average, the most deluded; the most likely to be most powerfully supportive of the strategies of evil. 

This is particularly stark when the strategy being supported is a deliberately maximally-destructive war. 

And a war intended to embrace in destruction its supporters - themselves, their families and friends, their homeland, their ideology and passionate convictions - all that they superficially suppose that that they hold most dear. 

A world war is openly being planned - with full public declaration, before our eyes, in the mass media - in the West: in the UK and Commonwealth, EU nations, the USA, and beyond. 

Indeed this war is becoming the only game in town: as a long term strategy war is displacing all the other evil-motivated plans/ "good causes" such as I term the Litmus Tests: socialism/ leftism, CO2 climate environmentalism, birdemic-healthism, antiracism and feminism, the sexual revolution etc. 

All are being wound-down, and preparations for war are building-up.  

What is worse - or rather worst - is that this war (which is, in part, intended to be an expansion of the war that has been going in Eastern Europe over the past four-plus years, and in the Middle East more recently, and incipiently in East Asia) is not a war to win; but a war intended to destroy.

What is already afoot and expanding in Europe, is war of a kind seldom or never seen before in human history. In this actual and coming war; although one side does indeed want to win, and wants an end to the war (or begins that way); those who control the the other side want this war to continue, to expand, to increase in intensity - without end-point.

This happens because those who control one side are not of that side, but are instead (successfully and without being detected) using that side primarily and ultimately to pursue all-round destructive purposes.

This is happening, the strategy is working; things are much worse than almost anyone - including the experts - realize; exactly because almost nobody in the West understands evil; and especially they do not understand the sheer negativity of evil.

War analysts (of all sides) consistently assume that war is about seeking benefit, a negative means towards positive goals; and will end when that benefit has been attained. 

But when a war has been created, and is being sustained and expanded, in order to destroy; and ultimately in order that the participants come to support that goal of destruction - then this is a very different matter. 

The developing war situation is one that cannot necessarily be stopped or reversed - even if there was a general and effective will to stop it - which there is not. 

Evil has such an easy time in the modern world because there are so very few people (and none with power) who are strongly on the side of God and Good.

The mass of people cannot and do not support Good because they do not believe Good exists, or has any objective meaning. Their vague notion of good is something that exists (temporarily) only psychologically; as culturally-contingent notions in the heads of themselves, and people like them. 

The idea that The Good is a part of Reality, or The Universe; is literally meaningless to mainstream modern people - it is not so much denied as something that simply does not make sense. 

But we need to recall that the war of this world is always and ultimately a spiritual war; so this is no exception. 

This is a ultimately war to induce people - as many as possible people, on all sides - to align with spiteful destruction as a spiritual goal.

And this happens by value-inversion; by inducing people to regard evil as good and vice versa; and this is easiest when evil is not understood. 

And this failure to understand evil becomes inevitable when people do not believe-in or understand Good. 

And this failure to understand goodness is inevitable because so many people have assimilated the official and culturally-mainstream fundamental assumptions - e.g. that there is no God, no spirit, no salvation: no possibility of external and objective purpose and meaning in the universe.  

The ongoing and accelerating war of destruction is a consequence of these deep and multi-generational cultural trends. 

This stuff is not some hypothetical future scenario; on the contrary this state of deep incomprehension and value-inversion describes where we are now, culturally. 

And where we are stuck; because it can be seen that the problems run very deep, and have many layers. 

Which is presumably why we are all marching blandly and blindly towards a vastly destructive and intentionally-endless war that nearly-everyone supports indirectly with sadistic vehemence. 

Note: those who publicly oppose the ongoing-upcoming war are also (very nearly always) part of the fundamental problem that has led to the war, and share the same war-generating fundamental assumptions. They do not oppose the war for Good reasons. 

Electricity as the medium of techno-spiritual enlightenment

Because spirit is primary: the material, the embodied, that which is perceived by the senses - is a kind of spirit. 

Incarnation is indeed a developed form of the spirit - which is why the timeline of creation manifested as physical beings, such as ourselves. 

And why the pre-mortal spirit of Jesus manifested as a mortal incarnated Man, and why Jesus resurrected as an eternal incarnated Man (rather than returning to the realm of immaterial spirits). 

The spirit is therefore inescapable, especially when it is being most vehemently denied; because the exclusion of the reality of the spiritual is actually a malign form of spiritual manipulation. 

The globalist-totalitarian overlords are engaged in a spiritual strategy aimed at inducing humans into spiritualizing the material. 

The mainstream and dominating materialist agenda; vast projects such as "AI", climate, Birdemic-peck-type healthism, the sexual revolution and many others - are "sold" as material mechanisms for "making this world a better place" and for "saving" lives, the "environment" - even the planet; but this agenda is continually being spiritualized under another name. 

My class of people - middle class "intelligentsia (the managers, professionals, artists, scientists, educators, lawyers etc) are deeply spiritualized now; believers in a complex and mutually-reinforcing ideology that they regard as ethically-imperative and factually-obvious. 

Whether such people regard themselves as Christians, or members/ adherents of any other religion or spirituality, is ever-less relevant. The actuality is a spiritual materialism in which approved themes and plans are regarded as spiritually-good. 

Their lives have an obvious public facet of adopting and advocating particular themes relating to carbon-climatism, the Fire Nation war, the Birdemic-Peck etc. But my point is that this now goes very deep, and has a primarily spiritual dimension. 

There is far more to electric vehicles, as an apparently trivial instance, than the matter of subsidized virtue-signalling - which has been abundantly critiqued. 

I mean the (to me) familiar phenomenon of a married couple with three cars - two internal combustion powered and the other an EV - is being superseded by a couple with a single (large, expensive) EV; whose wide-ranging (and strictly inessential) travel revolves around the location and timing of EV charging points. 

The more inconvenience suffered, the more spiritual they feel - to the point of ceasing to feel, and therefore denying, the inconvenience. 

Likewise; complicated and time-consuming rituals of "recycling" are not merely a pointless waste of time, not just a drag on the economy; nor merely a resource-consuming hypocrisy - nor are they strongly linked to a belief - or even the ideal - of their actions having any effect At All upon the environment... 

The reality of the problem ("climate change"), and the effectiveness of their approved answer, has long-since ceased to be the point. 

Just as we saw with the Birdemic; when people were indifferent to the actual effect of "face-coverings" on a supposed disease. The masking business rapidly took-on a spiritual dimension; in which the ritual humiliation and public abasement became a positive and personal spiritual action - akin to the simultaneous "taking-of-the-knee". 

Electricity has itself become the material manifestation of a spiritual ideal. 

These material-spiritual types love electricity to the point that it is the medium of enlightenment. 

The colossal electricity consumption of "AI" centres is felt as a form of spiritual power - analogous to the building of large, expensive temples and cathedrals - Good In Itself.  

Even internal combustion-engined vehicles have suddenly (in less than five years) become primarily and necessarily electrical in operation - such that for the only time in half a century, I cannot get into a car and drive it; but first must laboriously learn to serve the (continually changing) electric-computerized demon that has taken it over. 

Furthermore that great fetish vehicle the bicycle, except for weekend leisure/ sports activities, has (in the space of a handful of years!) been all-but replaced by (de facto) electric motorcycles of multiple types: which EVs now use the vast network of "cycle tracks" - originally advertised as facilitating the replace internal combustion cars and buses. 

In other words; because IRL bikes almost-never substituted for cars, but in practice replaced walking or were used by hobbyists; in practice now electricity-powered bikes have replaced leg-powered vehicles - or are used as motorbikes but with additional access to footpaths and cycle lanes. 

Yet, in the eyes of their class-advocates; electricity-consuming bikes retain the spiritual mantle of the intrinsically-good bicyclist.     

This is the tip of a very large iceberg that is sweeping through Western civilization, which is itself becoming Western civilization - not merely in practice, but as a spiritual goal. 

It is inside people's head, it is in their thoughts, it is the subject of their day-dreams. 

Something is afoot that is larger than the conventional modes of analysis and explanation. I feel that I am dwelling in a far less human, far more alien and abstract, world than anything experienced in human history thus far. 

For them, for its millions of enthusiastic and fanatical adherents; this is all of-a-piece; and none of the institutions, none of the churches, have even begun to understand - let alone resist! - what is going on. On the contrary they are all a part of it - even or especially when they pick on some tiny aspect for discussion or even resistance. 

More than ever those who desire the salvation of Jesus Christ need to be not of the world, even though we cannot escape living in the world. 

Which entails seeing the world as it is: that its very materialism is spiritual. That we ourselves and our neighbours are complicit - and some of them are not just consenting, nor merely willingly complicit - but are deeply affirming of an alien, un-biological, anti-life "techno-spirituality". 

It entails understanding that the spirituality of this world has already become inhuman/ antihuman and anti-Christian to an unprecedented degree; and in the most profound way. 

  

AI-dolatry is an Antichrist phenomenon, because the Antichrist is The System

I just stumbled across a post of mine from 2018 on the (now stale) subject of Jordan Peterson; in which I described him as an Antichrist figure. 

The idea of an Antichrist is not really of any general and public use for discernment, because of the mass and institutional breakdown in truthful consensus. 

Nonetheless it is a subject to which I find I recur, because so many individual people remain spiritually wedded to external authority, and in a totalitarian "System-" world, that means that almost all self-identified Christians are following Antichrists. 

The question I ask is: will such people follow their Antichrist to self-chosen damnation, or at what point will they realize what is happening to them?

(Luckily for Mankind, by my understanding; this point of recognition and repentance can be post-mortal.)

The current AI-dolatry (i.e. the positive embrace, and in-practice promotion, of the "AI"-agenda) is evidently motivated by evil-intent when advocated by mainstream left-materialist ideologues; but the phenomenon takes-on an Antichrist role and quality when found among self-identified Christians. 

What I see is Christians who support (and spiritually I am inferring an inner support) an actually overall- and net-evil strategy; on the basis that they see in such a strategy the possibilities for a selective, partial, "if-only" possibility of Good.  

IMO, this rationale is how people justify to themselves an inner subordination to external authority.

Because when all actual external authorities (all formal and public institutions; including all the churches) are actually integrated-within the System of global totalitarianism - then this just-is the Antichrist phenomenon, as I understand it.

I mean; people choose to subordinate themselves spiritually (and therefore psychologically) to a powerful and influential entity (i.e. The System), even when that entity is net-evil; by an argument that there are aspects of The System that may be turned to good... 

Which "may" be good understanding, then gets transformed to an assertion that it "will" be good... in my hands, the way that I will use it...   

So the world is (apparently) full of Christians who support one or more of the primary agenda items of global totalitarianism (such as "AI", a foreign war, the Birdemic-Peck, CO2-climatology, sexual revolution...); because they have convinced themselves that they have nuanced these strategies into specific pro-Christian activities.

From overall-evil intent, they finesse particular Good Works, "Christian" works; of one kind or another. And claim that this particulars are then the main thing: that they personally can nuance the particular Goods, without spiritual-complicity in the overall evils.     

The reason why this kind of reasoning has become so massively-dominant is exactly that The System is everywhere, and inescapable - we are all sustained-by-it and work-for-it.   

Therefore - in this-worldly terms - as a brute fact we are all of us deeply-complicit in strategic evil, in this-world. 

Which means that - to do good works in this world, to be "practical"; we can only work with The System: we can only "make this world a better place" (including better for ourselves, and those about whom we care) by accepting The System in some overall fashion, and despite specific dissent.

This brute fact of a self-identified Christian - in-practice and inescapably - supporting the large-scale demonic agenda; becomes a potentially agonizing "cognitive dissonance" insofar as Christianity is regarded as a this-worldly religion - i.e. a religion that "makes this world a better place". 

It is to avoid this cognitive dissonance, indeed stark contradiction! - that so many Christians end by choosing spiritual-subordination to the the ubiquity of global totalitarianism, while asserting an officially-propagated false and virtual understanding of the world. 

Thus, most Christians - including serious Christians - are engaged in whitewashing the actuality of global totalitarian evil: either they deny its reality as an existing fact, or else they falsely construct a fantasy of the fundamental, coherent, and purposive evil of The System of global totalitarianism - as if it were instead a drama of good versus evil Establishment people and institutions. 

As if minor distinctions between greater and lesser evil purposes somehow included the operations of purposive good; as if a mass of competing negations could eventuate in positive values...  

Things have come to a point; compromise is no longer validly possible; we are compelled to choose between clear and distinct alternatives of evil and Good. 

It is not a matter of what we do but what is our faith. If we base our ultimate faith in-this-world, we shall become of-this-world.  

Either we recognize that Christianity is, and (deep down) always was; a next-worldly and individual religion - i.e. a faith that does not depend on practical obedience to the authority of any specific institution/s - or else we will be following one or another of the many Antichrist phenomena that constitute The System. 

Either we are rooted in this-world, in which case we shall be in truth supporters of "The Antichrist; or else we locate our faith and hope in post-mortal resurrected eternal life, in Heaven. 

From Birdemic to "AI": Strategic sequencing in the grand strategy for global totalitarianism

There is a grand strategy for global totalitarianism than can be inferred or "reverse engineered" from linking-up the primary Litmus test issues. Also; the totalitarian objectives have been described variously and explicitly - for example The Great Reset, and Agenda 2030, writings on the need for mass depopulation, and "15 minute cities".

The origins go back many decades; but we can see the way that things work by looking at the past few years - beginning with the Birdemic lockdown.  

This can serve as an example of the strategic sequencing we see all over the place. 

1. c. March 2020. The Birdemic was the rationale for a global lockdown and "social distancing. 

2. When people were confined to their houses, and workplaces were shut during the enforced lockdowns -- employers were compelled to summarize their functioning in terms of online work programs; and employees were compelled to reduce their skills to protocols. 

3. c. November 2022. The introduction of novel kinds of "AI" began the process of replacing as much as possible of the human element in the economy. So; the work programs and protocols prepared during the enforced workplace closures were then handed-over to computers, fulfilling the plan to replace humans. 

In retrospect it seems that one of the reasons why the totalitarian overlords decided to lockdown the world (on the excuse of the Birdemic); was to accelerate their plans to replace people with machines. 

And this was successful: to the extent that many of those who saw-through and opposed the Birdemic lockdowns etc., now embrace and promote "AI"!  

That is exactly why They go to the considerable trouble of strategic sequencing. If the Tera-Billion Dollar top-down project of "AI" had been introduced before 2020; it would have been seen more clearly for what it is. 

But coming after the changes from international lockdown, the (in fact) coercively-enforced/ massively-subsidized totalitarian global "AI" strategy has been regarded as if it were a "natural and inevitable development"; and thereby won many influential hearts and minds...

Thus the globalists achieved the consent of influential people who - at the same time as supporting the single most significant and pervasive intended-instrument of micro-surveillance and centralized control - simultaneously self-identify themselves as radical opponents of the aims of "Clown World"!  

+++

And what next? 

Well, these measures seem to be preparatory to the attempt massive shrinkage of the workforce; with total exclusion of a large majority of people from economic activity and political power. 

At some point; They will decide that the masses are now demonstrably "useless eaters" and "toxic-carbon-emitters"; and the situation will be deemed ripe for mass depopulation - for the sake of sustainability, to save The Planet. 

And no doubt They have prepared a façade of excuses to conceal their purposive intent to kill; just as the strategic intent of mass harm by "The Peck" was hidden behind a faked pretence of promoting health and saving lives.  

The "attribution of Mystery" PSYOP in "AI" and the Birdemic

We live in a world that is, in all its official operations, utterly materialist, spirit-less, God-less.

However, such is our innate need for what we call "religion" - it is therefore possible for the rulers and their minions to manipulate the masses, by hinting at Mysteries. 

These hints of hidden mysterious depths are intended to tap-into the starved craving for a spiritual dimension below the surface; to inspire and motivate our officially meaningless/ purposeless/ pointless lives. 

I can see this PSYOP at work in one strand of the "AI" propaganda; the repeated hints at "something mysterious going-on" with the programs - something uncanny. 

This is usually presented in terms of a threat - some terrifying capability; although it might at other times refer to beyond-human powers and insights. 

(Maybe the "AI" is really thinking. Maybe it has a will of its own? Maybe its intelligence and understanding are so-far superior to yours that it is literally super-human - such that what seems idiotic incompetence or gibberish, is actually a qualitatively greater ability?)

The hints are nearly-always a soft-sell; refraining from asserting anything specific about the nature and abilities of the "AI" under discussion - leaving "us" to join-the-dots, and make the desired inferences. 

I observed the same phenomenon during the Birdemic, where the alleged-germ was surrounded with an aura of uncanny unpredictability. 

There were multiple wild "science"-media speculations about the nature, properties, effects of the supposedly-new infectious agents*. 

In face of this "mysterious" "novel" disease; it seemed that everything that generations of research had discovered about viruses and respiratory disease - and how to manage them - was thrown-out! 

Abruptly, the opposite was proposed and given credibility: speculation was rife... Albeit that speculation was abruptly terminated by government diktat. 

The PSYOP "sell" proceeds by describing supposedly strange occurrences, and by raising disturbing or profound questions about what might be happening - generating an atmosphere of mystery; then the individual reader or viewer is generally left to "draw his own conclusions". 

This has the advantage of drawing-in the target, and inducing him to participate in his own deception - plus, the deployment of alleged strangeness, hints, and use of questions enable deniability of any particular claims or agenda. 

At the end of the day, such marketing techniques may create a sense of profundity and spiritual expectation around the subject matter. 

With post 2022 "AI" - in face of this PSYOP-induced sense of uncanny mystery - decades of experiential knowledge about the nature and effects of computers has been thrown-out - and the wildest speculations, fears, and optimisms have been encouraged! 

The PSYOP has generated a swirling maelstrom of anecdotes, hints, and suggestions as to what this allegedly new "AI" actually is, its "character", what it can do, what it should do...

Albeit, as with the Birdemic - this situation is soon and abruptly terminated by state/ managerial diktat: as the "AI" systems are coercively imposed on our society and our lives with mandatory force.

*The Birdemic was said to have many completely new symptoms - such as losing smell (anosmia) and post-acute fatigue "long" Birdemic) - ignoring that these had always been known to be characteristic of some strains of influenza, as indeed were all the symptoms of Birdemic. Simultaneously it was asserted that, in 2020 only, influenza itself had completely disappeared for the first and only time in recorded history - so that it was literally never diagnosed in 2020; and this not-diagnosing led to virological speculations about the "mysterious" property of Birdemic to suppress influenza... "Maybe" the Birdemic virus could also "mimic" a vast range of other diseases, which are therefore probably the Birdemic-in-disguise? And spread in new and mysterious ways; such that, although a microscopic "virus" transmitted by aerosol from lung-to-lung; maybe it could nonetheless be intercepted and blocked by swabbing surfaces, by wearing porous facecloths, paper aprons, and plastic gloves? Maybe its transmission could be stopped by two yard social-distancing indoors; but maybe the "virus" could also spread across vast distances when outdoors. Yet maybe this teleportation across vast distances might be prevented by people staying in their gardens, or houses? Altogether; the Birdemic was the archetypal riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma..  

2020 - The year of the double global revolution; the year of two successful international coups

2020 was the year when there was a completely successful coup in which global-totalitarianism took-over all the nations of the world; conclusive evidence for which was that the various previous governance procedures of nations were displaced by diktat - and under such a system the peoples of the whole world were "locked down". 

Early 2020 was an extraordinary moment in history! 

Not least because (it seemed at the time) hardly anybody noticed or recognized that it had happened - a perfect, silent takeover had been accomplished; under cover of fake-necessity concealed by the stalking horse that was the Birdemic. 

So... A silent coup, an unopposed takeover, and therefore almost entirely un-noticed at the time - and indeed hardly acknowledged since. 

By the early summer of 2020; the world was (almost literally) under-the-thumb of the totalitarian leadership class: confined to quarters, mentally terrorized into compliance, physically separated, masked and anonymized - utterly pacified! 

And the expectation was that this was only the start of such-things, and the situation would surely be made complete and permanent... 

Allowable public debate was confined to discussing whether all this was enough to make people "safe", or else whether conditions should be made more restrictive. 

The expectation was for "more of the same" - a world under a single authority; a world of omni-surveillance and micro-control. 

Then, quite rapidly in the high summer of 2020, and even less recognized then and since: a second coup! 

Into this situation of triumphant totalitarian control, of top-down pacification, was injected the phenomenon of race war. 

Suddenly, the world's unity and obedience was severed by mandatory antiracism...

Hostile groups were created, encouraged, subsidised, given legal immunity - and very swiftly, what had been a distinctively American species of mutual destruction; was spread across most of the world, and bureaucratically-incorporated into all the major social institutions (officialdom, mass media, law, religions, education, science etc. - and even sports, even cricket!...)

The divisive chaos of a manufactured US race war was deliberately imposed on the world; by that same new-formed, centrally-controlled, bureaucratic-media system that had been created and enforced by the Birdemic.  

Evidently - as so often happens in revolutions - the first and successful coup had been co-opted by a second revolution - with different aims. 

Whereas the first Birdemic coup of early 2020 was aiming at a totalitarian controlled world of order; the second antiracism revolution was aimed at dis-order. 

Whereas the first revolution had used centralized power to make all the nations and the peoples of the world one for the first and only time in human history! One in their obedient docility...

The second revolution seized the new-forged instruments of surveillance and coercion and encouraged division, mutual hostility, break-up, violence...

And the same centre of globalist totalitarianism (but now "under new management") began to kindle resentments and fears that had been almost wholly suppressed by the Birdemic-coup.

They have since fanned into flames the embers of those many and highly lethal post-2020 inter-national, inter-ethnic, inter-religious conflicts, gratuitous wars - with multiple provocations, escalations, fake pennant events - and so forth. 

Because the second revolution was silent, unnoticed, unacknowledged - it has not only been able to present its own plans for destructive chaos as if they were part of the first revolutions program; but also to subvert and invert the established plans for totalitarian surveillance and control. 

The biggest and best example is the phenomenon of "AI" - which is regarded by the advocates of the first, Birdemic, revolution as a tool for surveillance and control; but which is actually an agent of socially-destructive chaos. 

2020 was indeed a watershed year in which "everything changed": the year of two silent and invisible and imperceptible international coups; the year of successful double global revolution: first the making of a system for world control; and then the seizing and usage of this system to induce global chaos... which continues and increases, on a daily basis.

 

Note: The ultimate, and causal, reality behind these proximate political phenomena was spiritual. It was an evolutionary change from the ascendancy of one form of evil to another. Evil is "progressive" - unless repented, it feeds upon itself and gets more-evil. As the "Ahrimanic" evil seeking power reached its apex of success; it began to be displaced by the more advanced and purer "Sorathic" evil that spitefully sought the suffering and eventual destruction of all that is of-God, Good - of divine creation and its aspects of Men and other Beings, of Nature... eventually everything. 

The biggest problems in the world are invisible

The spiritual is primary, and includes the material. 

Therefore every material problem necessarily has a spiritual dimension. 

But mainstream modern materialism denies the reality of the spiritual - and insofar as the spiritual is acknowledged (e.g. by churches) it is secondary to the material.

(e.g. Churches attitude to the Birdemic and lockdowns of 2020.) 

Consequently, the modern world is plagued by invisible spiritual problem - problems that are not and cannot be acknowledged as existing. 

For instance, our wars and rumours of war have primarily spiritual causes and motivations; but these true causes are undetected, never considered - excluded as unreal. 

Indeed; all of the most severe and intractable problems in the world are these invisible spiritual problems; because it is their invisibility that has enabled them grow to become severe and intractable.    

The Saruman Syndrome and AI-dolatry

The Saruman Syndrome happens when the lust to be "a winner", or the horror of being "a loser" - causes people to switch sides from Good to Evil, themselves to join with the side of evil - as soon as they become convinced that the side of evil is going to prevail. 

Saruman drew himself up then and began to declaim, as if he were making a speech long rehearsed. 

"The Elder Days are gone. The Middle Days are passing. The Younger Days are beginning. The time of the Elves is over, but our time is at hand: the world of Men, which we must rule. But we must have power, power to order all things as we will, for that good which only the Wise can see. 

"And listen, Gandalf, my old friend and helper!” he said, coming near and speaking now in a softer voice. “I said we, for we it may be, if you will join with me. A new Power is rising. Against it the old allies and policies will not avail us at all... 

"This then is one choice before you, before us. We may join with that Power. 

"It would be wise, Gandalf. There is hope that way. Its victory is at hand; and there will be rich reward for those that aided it." 

(From The Council of Elrond, in The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien

The Saruman Syndrome, or: If you can't beat 'em - join 'em. 

The unprecedented quantities of money and resources being extracted from the productive economy, and redirected into the global totalitarian "AI" project - makes AI-dolatry a very tempting (almost irresistible) motivation to a certain type of person. 

Some people, very obviously, have a horror of being regarded as a loser, of losing power/ status/ wealth; of being regarded as stupid for backing the wrong horse. 

And of course; a switch over to join the apparently winning-side brings immediate, up-front, this-worldly benefits. 

So, why not? 

The only problem is to justify (to yourself and others) this switch to evil, by calling it good. 

The only obstacle blocking the path of grabbing for a share of "AI" bounty, by joining the side of demonic strategic evil, is in justifying this lapse into short-termist selfishness by self-deceptive and publicly dishonest arguments - however, for some people such self-justification is not so much a barrier as a challenge!

[Saruman]: "As the Power grows, its proved friends will also grow; and the Wise, such as you and I, may with patience come at last to direct its courses, to control it. 

"We can bide our time, we can keep our thoughts in our hearts, deploring maybe evils done by the way, but approving the high and ultimate purpose: Knowledge, Rule, Order; all the things that we have so far striven in vain to accomplish, hindered rather than helped by our weak or idle friends. 

"There need not be, there would not be, any real change in our designs, only in our means."

The motivations for AI-dolatry are therefore easily understandable, very commonplace, and absolutely culturally-mainstream here-and-now. 

The motives are to do with gaining and retaining power, status, and wealth - the overwhelmingly major motivations in our atheistic, materialistic, hedonic/ therapeutic society of late Western civilization. 

They are the same motivations that led a large majority of managers, professionals and intellectuals publicly to embrace (as required) socialism, feminism, antiracism, climate zealotry, the sexual revolution; and whatever else is currently being pushed by the totalitarian Establishment: the Birdemic, the Peck, anti-Fire Nation psychosis - and now AI-dolatry. 

The fact that some person resisted wave-after-wave of previous temptations to align with the side of evil, does not mean they are forever immune to succumbing to embracing later strategies. 

Maybe this new scheme presses the right buttons, that earlier schemes did not? 

There are indeed many possible reasons for the Saruman Syndrome: 

People get greedy, and impatient for what they regard as success.

They may grow afraid, or sense themselves being incipiently overwhelmed by despair. 

They may feel themselves teeter on the cusp of a collapse of power/ status/ wealth unless they ride the Big New wave, or jump onto the gravy-train, of this latest Establishment strategy.   

And so they apostatize from God, divine creation, the soul, and salvation; jump-ship onto the side ranged against these - declare themselves for the side aiming at subversion, destruction, and inversion of The Good. 

And they tell themselves and others:

"There need not be, there would not be, any real change in our designs, only in our means."

So there we have it: The Saruman Syndrome. 

Note: I got the idea for this when commenting at Francis Berger's blog. 

Totalitarian PSYOPS are literally black ritual magic

PSYOPS are regarded as top-down mass psychological/ sociological manipulations; and they are all evil by nature; because they are not motivated by love - not in harmony with divine creation. 

Also, since they aim to change "other peoples" behaviour in pre-determined ways, PSYOPS are intrinsically evil in that they are strategically un-truthful. 

In practice; all large scale top-down PSYOPS are also intentionally evil - even if/when those human-tools who implement the PSYOPS (the bureaucrats, managers, professionals, labourers) are ignorant of this evil purpose. 

In 2026 our lives are full of PSYOPS, and have been for decades, accumulating. 

These include the highly prevalent, major totalitarian strategies that I call Litmus Tests - such as class and inter-sex warfare, climatism, antiracism, the Birdemic, and currently "AI"-dolatry.   

There are no good PSYOPS. Supposed good intentions are fake excuses for evil. 

PSYOPS are like The One Ring, a tool of The Enemy, that and cannot be used to fight The Enemy. So, when PSYOPS are used purportedly for "altruistic" purposes - such as Health Promotion or Public Health - supposedly to "help people" in a scientific and medical spirit; if followed through they result in strongly net evil outcomes. 

But to what extent are PSYOPS actual ritual magical practices, performed by black magic techniques? 

In other words, are the methods and intended effects of PSYOPS all operating at the cause-and-effect level of human behaviour and thinking, using quasi-scientific models?

Or, are there spiritual methods at work, with intended spiritually harmful consequences?

Yes, there is a spiritual agenda. Despite that the masses of modern people deny and are ignorant of the spiritual world; nonetheless those at very very top of the totalitarian system are spiritual operatives. 

At the top of the power systems; the ultimate and primary agenda is spiritual warfare; and naturally spiritual methods are deployed - ritual, symbol, charged language, music, "modern" architecture and art, ... the works. 

The phenomenon termed "gaslighting" is pure spiritual warfare: it prepares the way for the necessary invitation for evil to enter the soul. 

Gaslighting induces people - by systemic methods - legal, economic, religious, social, physical (coercion) etc. - to espouse/ support/ propagate/ endorse false assumptions, false logic, stark contradictions, nonsense, paradox... 

Meaninglessness is made to be treated as interesting, amusing, wise; destruction is celebrated as creation; resentment and Schadenfreude are praised as morally exemplary. 

All these are ways by which people are brought to voluntarily open their souls and invite external corruption, occupation - ultimately to hand-over control of the soul to external spiritual authorities.

Black magic is not effective unless it is - to some extent - invited-in. 

Once inside a receptive environment; entities of evil tend to become self-amplifying, by a positive feedback process. 

Therefore spiritual PSYOPS are not effective, unless the masses welcome them... 

However it is apparent that they/we do welcome them! 

Every major new PSYOP has been (at least, to all appearances) - and continues to be eagerly welcomed by large swathes of the Western population. 

People are controlled partly by acknowledged psychological-material techniques; but also - and more effectively - by magical-spiritual methods that harness and direct the malign will of those at high levels of strategic influence. 

It is difficult to resist materialist manipulations, but these are very resource intensive, and limited in effectiveness when they go against human nature. 

By contrast; magical-spiritual manipulations need to be met by open souls, and received with positivity; but when this offer and response happens; black magic is a highly  efficient and powerful malign influence on human behaviour, thinking and feelings. 

 

"AI"-dolatry = Birdemic

Just as in the 2020 Birdemic - when utterly wild and deeply ignorant claims of lethal-danger emanating from serial manipulators and liars; were taken seriously, made into policies, and enforced upon the world; we are now seeing the same with "predictions" about "AI": and the endemicpandemic that is "AI"-dolatry.

There is an environment in which people can claim... anything about "AI" - its abilities and potentials -and be taken with equal seriousness by those who think all this SciFi invention is a Great Thing and desire to Bring It On ASAP; and also those who respond with a chronic panic attack, futile gestures, and personal despair. 

Just as with the Birdemic; people cannot grasp that the major crises, policies, and programs of the modern West are purely manipulative - and may be based upon almost-nothing factual. 

Little or nothing substantive, but a truly immense amount of re-labelling, hype, spin, invention, and inverted reportage. 

Whatever facts there were behind the Birdemic - if anything - they were trivial and insignificant compared with the truly colossal consequences of the coordinated totalitarian global response. 

Likewise, whatever computational breakthrough - if any - was behind the late-November 2022 global propaganda avalanche concerning the claimed qualitative and positively socially transformative breakthroughs of "AI" was and is trivial and insignificant compared with the truly colossal expenditure, impositions and implementation by the global totalitarian System. 

With "AI", as with the Birdemic, the unconstrained and universal claims over all domains of human life and functioning; sit upon little or nothing substantive, but a truly immense amount of re-labelling, hype, spin, invention, and inverted reportage.

"AI"-dolatry equals the Birdemic; for the clear and obvious reason that both emanate from the same sources, use exactly analogous methods of social and psychological manipulation, and both share the same strategically-evil aims. 

Both are operate as tests of our spiritual discernment because the success of both depend on dishonesties and errors at the very roots of our metaphysical assumptions. 

The mass vulnerability of Christians and mainstream people alike to both the Birdemic and "AI" PSYOPS; is evidence of deep wrongness in our understanding of reality, and the purpose of our mortal lives. 

To put it bluntly; insofar as we do not immediately see through these and like deceptions and instantly discern their grossly evil motivations - to that extent our basic life stance is defective; and needs to be examined and revised on pain of self-chosen damnation. 

Is that clear enough? 

**

Note added: To further the analogy; consider the way that during the Birdemic, the scale of health problems was incrementally amplified, month by month, and some orders of magnitude; through unprecedented and immeasurable global expenditures on pseudo-medical technologies and harmful societal transformations - topped by systematic misrepresentation and lies in the controlled-media... All of which was attributed to the progression of the Birdemic entity. We are seeing almost exactly the same phenomenon with the media reportage of the progress of "AI": unprecedented and immeasurable global expenditures on technologies and harmful societal transformations, with alleged (systematic misrepresentation and lies) orders of magnitude incremental improvement, reported month by month in the controlled-media - all of which are attributed to progress of the "AI" entity.

Files don't prove... anything - and anyway, we should by-now Already Know what is needed

The Alt Media is abuzz about some "files" that have supposedly been released by the Establishment that "prove" the Establishment actively serves the agenda of purposive demonic evil.

And that the Western-Globalist Establishment leadership class are, personally, extremely corrupt.  

Let's be clear. Files, and especially officially-disseminated files, and especially files that are the product of evil; do not and cannot ever prove anything in the ultimate and spiritual sense that is necessary. 

But for Heaven's sake! 

We really, by now (and for at least fifteen years), ought not only to know that the globalist totalitarian Establishment is purposively-evil and personally corrupt; but this ought to have been absorbed into our world-view; and this reality ought already to form the basis of understanding socio-political actuality and events. 

Especially after the Birdemic-related events of early 2020 and subsequently. 

Files are, after all, merely data; and the provenance and accuracy of data is always contestable; and the interpretation of data is always contestable; and both accuracy and interpretation are a product of metaphysical assumptions concerning the nature of reality. 

Therefore; anyone whose fundamental assumptions disallow (or regard as impossible) the literal evil and actual corruption of the Western and Globalist Establishment (and especially the leadership class) - cannot and will not be persuaded of their evil and corruption by any data of any kind in any amount.  

(As will very soon become apparent.) 

Those who suggest that The Files are (i.e. should be, they believe) a watershed in the history of Western politics; are engaged in their own kind of attempted political (and geopolitical) manipulations... Usually concerned with trying to enlist active support for some ideology or party or program of some kind (some ideology/ party/ program that the writer or speaker serves or desires to dominate). Advice which purportedly leads back, in a loop, to the kind of society of some decades (or centuries!) ago: a "movement" which is not even going to be attempted (because of how people actually are), but would not work if it was (because people are not what they were). 

If not, then what? 

I see zero need to engage with the content of purported Files; and many probable pitfalls in doing so; the most likely of which is to be encouraged into an attitude of resentful spite and/or despair. 

We should already know what we need to know (i.e. what we personally know suffices without Establishment-supplied "evidence"); and if we don't know it by now, then it is not the problem of lack of evidence that blocks our understanding.

 

To engage-with The Files would merely be to participate spiritually with a staged media-political event; thereby voluntarily to open our hearts to that evil; and to engage in Yet Another example of double-negative values; values that are lethally-characteristic-of and foundational-to the atheist-materialist Western mainstream. 

What we need to do instead; is accept as true the reality of the evil of The Establishment, and the extremity of personal corruption of the human leadership...

And (less spectacularly) the facilitation of evil and spiritual corruption of their servant class such as bureaucrats, media people, managers, intellectuals, professionals etc. 

Accept that this is the way that our civilizations actually-is; here and now. 

Such knowledge not a trigger for action; but is a basis for understanding primarily - and understanding ought to serve a spiritual agenda; which is, for me - by my free choice, the life of a Christian. 

Only after that understanding is assimilated will we personally know what is right and good; and only after we know that, can we know what we personally ought to do. 

Good action lies on the other side of spiritual understanding and personal commitment in the spiritual war of this world. 

But anyone who tells us what we ought to do ("because of" the Files) when they themselves have not assimilated that understanding to their own personal and Christian life, and/or when we ourselves have not done so -- is necessarily trying to manipulate us to believe and serve some external, pre-existing, and anti-spiritual (and anti-Christian) agenda...  

In sum: Good comes only from Good, and Good is a spiritual (not material) value. 

No combination of oppositional agendas can lead to Good in the absence of actual positive and spiritual motivation for Good.  

To be guided primarily by any secondhand "data" or any other form of externally located "evidence"; or to serve the agenda of any external ideology or grouping - is to be assimilated more deeply into the evils of the Establishment agenda of evil.  

We personally can only do Good from the basis of our own personal motivations rooted in our own actual understanding. 

Insofar as we our-selves attain understanding and choose to take the side of divine creation in the spiritual war of this world; we will know what Good we can do, and doing that Good will surely affect "the world" for the better. 

And this is a necessary faith; it is the faith that lets us know what to do, that doing it will work; and this faith is also necessary in order that our choices can do Good, because without such faith we will not be aligned with God' intentions. 

In a nutshell: we do Good in this world only spiritually; by personal alignment on the side of God, and by our active and conscious participation in ongoing divine creation. 

Big events are distorted versus micro/ non-events getting inflated - Two kinds of media manipulation

In that seminal year of 2020 we saw example of the two extremes of coordinated global media manipulation. 

At the start of 2020 was the Birdemic (i.e. the international response to the supposed "emic" - the lockdowns etc.) - which was not just a big event, but the biggest event in the history of the world.

The role of the mass media in this instance was to distort a genuinely vast phenomenon in pursuit of The System agenda. 

Then in summer of 2020 was saw a micro-event (or non-event) in a town in the USA, blown-up to an international scale phenomenon for months, everywhere, apparently obsessing the leadership class down through all their managerial, intellectual and professional myrmidons. 

From nearly-nothing, or actually-nothing; The System was able (in an incredibly short timescale) to make a defining global phenomenon - such that socio-political changes were implemented across the entirety of Western-dominated nations.

That is the power of The System - of the Establishment - of the unified and linked totalitarian social institutions. 

The power - via mas and social media, and the mass addiction to them - to focus and sustain much of the attention of hundreds of millions. 

And, reciprocally, the power to get hundreds of millions largely to ignore what They want ignored. 

When the issue is Big, like the the Birdemic, Peck, Fire Nation or "AI" - I assume that They are then engaged in a major attempt fundamentally to re-program human thinking in some way that progresses their agenda of atheist-materialist-bureaucratic self-damnation...

When instead (as today) the global media are focused on an issue that is so micro, so trivial, that it may be literally nothing at all; I think we can be sure that They are doing so partly in order to prevent people noticing something very big.  

But also because such micro/ non-event based frenzies are a big part of Project Chaos: the demonically-driven evil agenda focused on spreading and amplifying mutual hatred, endemic fear, motivating resentment - and existential despair. 

Big event mania promotes totalitarian evil - and plans for System omni-surveillance and micro-control; while non-event frenzies strategically promote civilizational and System breakdown*.

In a nutshell: Big events are intended to unify; inflated micro-events are intended to divide.

*Non-event frenzies have a triple effect. In the short term and long-term they actually promote disorder and breakdown; but they are successfully (and dishonestly) "sold" to the System-totalitarians because they can be "used" to implement increased totalitarianism in the medium term. 

The problem of "reacting" to current affairs - the example of the 2020 Birdemic

Much of the public space is taken up by people "reacting" - especially to news and current affairs; including a wide rage of stuff from celebrity gossip to (what are presented as) Serious Analysis of the Big Issues of our day. 

I have, myself, done a lot of this - over the decades. 

At the trivial end of the spectrum; this kind of reaction material is dealing with obviously (indeed aggressively!) trivial distractions from mundane living - as when YouTubers film themselves acting their emotions on "unboxing" consumer items. 

(Indeed; my YouTube feed shows that "so-and-so Reacts To such-and-such" is a large and popular genre on this platform - and no doubt others.) 

The Trouble Is at the other end; would-be serious analysis of the Big Issues and events of the times; because that is where people are trying to reflect and to work-out their own basic stance on Life and how we ought to lead it.

Take, for instance, the 2020 Birdemic and the subsequent multi-million-person Peck - a subject about which I "reacted" and wrote a great deal at the time, and since. 

The Trouble Is that we don't really know what was going on - even at the most basic level (and never shall). 

We know (at least, I feel that I know, because it is not a secret) that the 2020 global lockdown event in "response" was in some general sense planned. But probably that is all we do know, for sure. 

More exactly the response was definitely planned - including the Peck (which was several or many agents, seemingly), because the Peck had had already been made; but what the Birdemic event itself was is something about which I don't think anybody is at all sure. 

I don't doubt there was a plan, something was launched, and that there was some kind of deliberate "seeding" of the environment with some-thing; some modified-agent that was intended to be highly infectious and highly lethal and lead to a real "emic". 

But if so; it seems that the plan did not work as-planned; because there was no highly-lethal and highly-transmissible agent (or, perhaps, only a very little of it) - and it is possible that the "cases" (including deaths) were nearly-all (or in some times and places literally All) a combination of other agents and no agent. 

The observed and reported data can easily be explained in terms of false attributions of causes to symptoms and death; and false positives from signs and tests that were wrongly and dishonestly deployed and interpreted 

This "nothing-burger" understanding of the Birdemic itself (as distinct from the response it it) is quite possible. 

But so also are many other scenarios, at more and more "superficial" levels; where various parts of the official story, some of the official data, are factually-correct (even when the implications of these facts are false and manipulative).

Maybe there was a real-new-agent that spread around the world infectiously, but it just didn't have a high mortality. 

And (if so) exactly then some possible questions (much discussed!) include: where did this putative new agent come-from; was it natural or contrived; how and why was it released?

How was the media coverage managed? How much reportage was completely fake (did not happen IRL) and was instead enacted; how much did happen but was done deliberately? 

And, on top; how much was indeed spontaneously happening (as reported), but distorted and amplified and misrepresented by reportage? 

Then the questions of actual human pathology - sickness and mortality. 

Aside from how many of the attributions of causality were lies or mistaken; there is the Huge question regarding how much suffering and death was caused by the putative agent (i.e. by "the Birdemic"), and how much by the "response" to the Birdemic (i.e. lockdowns, distancing, masking, swabbing, gross neglect etc). 

The response (which we know was pre-planned) was claimed to be working against suffering and death - but the response certainly must have caused some, much, or perhaps most of the suffering and deaths attributed to the Birdemic-itself. 

And if the response caused most of the suffering and death, then was this s&d an accidental (deluded or incompetent) by-product, or was mass s&d strategically intended as part of "the plan"? 

And if the suffering and death was indeed strategically intended - then did the strategy succeed?... Did the actual amount of extra suffering and death match-up to what was planned?

My point here is to emphasise just some of the uncertainties that surround "reacting" to current affairs; and the implication that some of the reactions that are intended to be sceptical - and intend (or claim to intend) to oppose the Establishment agenda, will instead actually support the Establishment agenda. 

For instance; analysis and scepticism regarding the official story of the origins and mode of spread of the Birdemic; usually accepts (or takes for granted) the reality of the Birdemic: i.e. it implicitly believes the official story that there was indeed a highly lethal and infectious agent whose genetic sequence is known. 

Or; dissent over the nature and effectiveness of lockdowns or distancing, often accepts the assumption that some kind of general government-imposed societal response to the Birdemic was necessary (despite no evidence from official data of unusually-high mortality rates before the lockdown/ distancing).

Whereas, if there was no significant reality to the Birdemic in the first place; then no response was ever necessary in the first place; which means that a response was actively contra-indicated (given that the scale and nature of a social (indeed international) response in terms of major social change; was itself inevitably itself bound to become a significant cause of disease and death. 

So dissent, opposition, analysis - may quite easily end-up supporting and sustaining the very agenda it tries (or appears to try) to oppose.

Especially when the nature or reality of The Problem is not-really-known, and perhaps unknowable. 

In a nutshell; when we react to anything we know of, or think we understand, only or mainly via officialdom and the mass media; we absolutely need to bear in mind that there are a vast range of possible realities, and in reacting to one, we are always assuming another.

And the range of possible realities extends from nothing at all having happened (total fakery), through levels such as the event being real but staged or permitted, to the event being factually (more or less) as-described - but the interpretation of that event being dishonestly manipulative. 

All we can ever know for sure is that (as of 2026) the official story is always false - but we can seldom know in what way false; so our reactions may be being manipulated in ways we do not detect, and may therefore do more harm than good. 

Litmus Test choices - a choice of totalitarian authority and surrender to that (versus heresy, versus Romantic Christianity)

There is a sense in which anybody that takes one step away-from obedience to an "authority", will continue to diverge - will continue to become more of what they have started. 

There is the observed fact that failure on one Litmus Test issue, or failure on a new Litmus Test as it arises, almost always leads towards greater corruption. 

And in this case, the corruption is an (in practice) assimilation towards the totalitarian program. 

So... people take a first step, and implicitly accept the authority of those who launched and perpetuated the Birdemic/ Peck international coup; or who provoked and escalated the Fire Nation conflict; or who propagandized and imposed the post-November-2022 "AI" pseudo-revolution...

Doing this involves both a decision to:

1. Accord authority to the powers who have devised and sustained these strategies; and

2. Also the decision to submit (to a significant extent) to that authority. 

(This applies to individual persons - but also to institutions - including churches.) 

So it is obvious why any single Litmus Test failure is usually a significant step towards further corruption; because the powers being accorded authority are overall-evil in their motivations; and the choice implies obedience to that authority. 

Authority to evil and obedience to that evil. 

To summarize: a Litmus Test failure is therefore both a decision to confer authority upon evil - thereby inwardly submitting to that evil; and a decision to think and act in accordance with that evil. 

In the short term, this "feels good" - exactly because totalitarian evil is dominant in our world (especially in The West); and in joining oneself with The System (even to what is, initially, a limited extent) there is a sense of becoming "part of something bigger", and of a larger world of increased opportunities for personal status, power, wealth...  

So (in practice) when someone chooses a Litmus Test failure; this is not something they do with shame and try to hide; but on the contrary, something boasted-about - and (as far as possible) parlayed into increased career, business or social opportunities.

The public discourse is currently full of people who have one or more radically dissenting opinions - but whose Litmus Test fails are actually the basis of their fame, or wealth, or other appeal. 

And this number is net-expanding with every new Litmus Test - so there have been many new recruits to the totalitarian agenda since "AI" began to be implemented across all major institutions, top-down.  

Some of these happy-successful-collaborators are individuals (entrepreneurs of one sort or another; whether would be "me cultists" or money-seekers, or combinations) - but many are church-Christians of one sort or another. 

This is how it looks to me. But I can see that there is a superficially-similar critique operating from the perspective of "traditional" Christian religious orthodoxy of the kind that sees "Christianity" as an entity authoritatively defined and controlled by some particular church (or system - such as a system of authority accorded to "The Bible" or other scripture; including a particular interpretation of it). 

Any individual who steps away from the institutionally-controlled and -validated orthodoxy of Christianity; can be seen (from this church/ system perspective) to be "on the road to heresy" - because, having rejected church-authority and been disobedient in one respect - nearly-always leads to further rejections and disobediences. 

Therefore, the traditional orthodoxy of the favoured church is defended strongly by asserting that particular church's primary authority; because perceived the alternative is likely to be a collapse of "faith", that (it seems) does not have an end-point - and leads (it seems) towards Christian apostasy: abandoning the Christian faith altogether... 

This perception of the anti-Christian consequences of rejecting the chosen-authority in any single point; is almost inevitable if and when somebody believes that Christianity Just Is embodied in an external institutional authority. 

For an individual instead to assert his personal authority to discern the nature of Christianity; and to accord primacy to (what he believes) is a personal, direct and unmediated relationship with Jesus Christ, and God - is therefore regarded by the traditionalist as amounting to "the same thing" as mainstream atheistic materialism and its accompanying New Agey "spiritual"-hedonism.  

For the trad-orthodox church-based religious person; true authority is always external, and true virtue always depends on voluntary obedience to external authority. 

The crucial distinction for church-Christians is between what they regard as the real and valid authority of their church on one side; and the false authority of global totalitarianism on the other.

No other possibility is recognized.  

So any heresy seems analogous to a Litmus Test failure. 

Yet from my Romantic Christian (Christian individual) perspective; I observe that the trad-orthodox church-based Christians have in fact failed one after another of the Litmus Tests, and continue to do so!

And for the simple reason that their churches are In Fact part-of the System of global totalitarianism.

As of 2025; a church cannot exist as a socially-significant institution, except by being mandatorily locked-into The Totalitarian System in a multitude of ways: 

...Financial and economic, legal and employment-wise, and as part of a dense network of regulations to do with buildings, gatherings, social interactions etc. 

All of which is enforced by the police, the bureaucracy, and the immense destructive power of the mass/social media.     

It is a question of whether one is opting-out or opting-in; and what is being opted-into or out-from. Into authority or out. 

Is the opting out-from one authority (e.g. a church) into another authority (...secular totalitarianism)? 

Or, is it an opting out-from the primacy of external authority. 

It is a question also of the decision about the location and nature of ultimate authority.

Is authority to be outer-institutional to be obeyed - or is it aspirationally-rooted in a personal relationship-with the divine? 

And answers to such questions are, in turn, based on what one regards as possible... Mainstream materialists regard the divine as false and impossible. Church-Christians regard the divine as necessarily institutionally-mediated. 

But Romantic Christians regard the divine as real and rooted in personal relationship. That is the basis of its claim to provide a third option with respect to ultimate authority.  

Word spells from theoretical models: How something is supposed to work, versus how it actually works

Peoples' understanding of the world around them is substantially a matter of their explanatory models - to the point that experience and observations are essentially ignored. 

For example, there is a model for how "democracy" works; then there is what actually happens. And people continue, decade after decade, to believe in the theory rather than their observations and experiences of what actually happens. 

Same with laws and regulations: there is a model of what these are supposed to be aiming at, and are observations concerning how the law/rule is actually deployed in practice - which may be very different indeed, and yet the law/rule continues (usually successfully!) to be defended on the basis of the theoretical model. 

Likewise with technology: there is the explanatory model of how some bit of technology is supposed to work - and then there are our observations about what it actually does... From which may sometimes be inferred that the bit-of-kit is not, and never was - and never could, be working in the manner of the model. "AI" is a topical instance of this.   

Another example from medicine, is that once a drug has been marketed as an "anti-depressant", then people (doctors as well as patients) cannot seem grasp that drug's thus classified can and do cause depression (and suicide) in some patients. 

The consequences of the Birdemic lockdowns and peck were another example of the same phenomenon - most people believed that theory that these "would help"; and apparently could not grasp that they would inevitably cause harm - even if they also helped (which, in the event, they did not).  

But these are just specific examples: this way of thinking permeates our lives right down to the deepest levels. Consider ideologies such as feminism: people still talk about feminism as if it was 1880, and this was a new theory that "must work" and is intrinsically A Good Thing. A century and a half of actual personal experiences makes no apparent difference. (The same applies by close analogy to socialism or racism.)

Religions are the same as ideology in this respect. Once a model-of-realty of a religion is accepted; nothing could ever happen that would necessarily refute it.  

And the same applies to people (like the recent New Atheists) who talk about the liberation of mankind from religion as if this was a new, untried theory of human happiness - that must surely work! When in actuality we already live (as did our parent, grandparents and back) in the least religious society in the history of the world, and it is continually getting less religious

We are back at that old favourite theme upon which I repeatedly harp: that metaphysics is prior to science; that theory is prior to experiment etc.

This just is the reality of human existence. 

Totalitarian controllers are far more concerned about controlling the theoretical models by which we interpret the world, than they are about controlling specific "information" - because once the models are established, they cannot be refuted by any new information.  

Once someone has assumed that there is no God and this is a purposeless and meaningless universe; nothing can ever happen to compel him to recognize the reality of God, purpose or meaning - everything possible can be explained away as random, the product of delusion or fraud - and so forth. 

Once somebody has decided that their church is blessed by God and can never be corrupted and will last until the end of time/ Last Judgment - then no amount of corruption or evil done by that church and/or its members will make any difference to the assumption. 

The lesson I draw from this is that we should be very careful what we assume! 

Because upon our theoretical models of reality depend our experience of reality. 

And we can only learn that which is learnable within the context of our assumptions. 

Therefore; we ought, as a minimum, to become (as far as possible - which can only be known by sustained trying) explicitly aware of our own assumptions - of those "models" by which we understand and explain reality.
