Why So Many Kinds of intellectuals have been captured by "AI"

The vulnerability to "AI"-capture seems to run deepest among intellectuals - but this vulnerability extends across a very wide range of intellectual types - politicians, media executives, corporate managers, finance entrepreneurs, technocrats, academics, teachers, totalitarians, atheists and traditionally religious, New Age spiritual seekers... 

Indeed, no class or kind of intellectual persons seem to have much resistance to capture.

It seems that almost all have by now succumbed; and with those who have not succumbed... well, it seems like just a matter of "not yet"*.  

Why are intellectuals especially vulnerable?

My best guess is that intellectuals have always tended to engage with life via models; and models are abstract simplifications of the boundless complexity of reality. Such models include mathematics, sciences, politics, economics; and indeed all academic and bureaucratic subjects. 

This second-hand engagement via abstract simplifications is valuable insofar as the models are useful; albeit the usefulness of a model may not have been checked, and even if a model has been checked these checks are only retrospective (can only be retrospective). 

The prospective, future limitations of a model (which limitations are many and intrinsic exactly because it is an abstract simplification) are not knowable or predictable in advance; and indeed when the model has captured a person, the failures of a model will usually be denied, explained-away.  

The value of intellectuals is not that they understand Life, or The World, or The Universe, or God; but that they understand the model. 

Insofar as the model is useful or valued, so intellectuals are useful or valued. 

But the problem, the weakness, is that intellectuals (of all kinds) so-often depend for their position and self-esteem on maintaining the special value of second-hand understandings (of all kinds). 

One malign tendency among intellectuals is to assert the primacy of the model: that the model is itself The Thing being-modelled. 

And another tendency is to increase the abstraction and complexity of the model, partly to protect their own expertise - e.g. to keep the model difficult enough to elude external analysis and critique, and to impress/ bamboozle/ subordinate the layman. 

I mean that intellectuals are prone to elaborating or generating a complex model that covers ever-more ground. 

Indeed, intellectuals tend to press their models to such a degree of complexity and abstraction, that they themselves do not understand the model in which they claim expertise. 

Instead intellectuals may claim expertise in using the model.

So the situation arises that many intellectuals suffer the profound and existential disadvantages of a belief-in, a commitment to, the primacy of merely secondhand models of reality...

Yet these are models which the intellectuals themselves do not understand; instead these are models that the intellectual merely serves (or claims to serve).

This situation, although common, is wrong - is indeed evil; insofar as service to the un-understood, service to something whose nature is not known, is evil.  

So-called-AI is a cluster of abstract, highly complex, and un-understandable models of reality. 

There can be no expertise in understanding an "AI" model.  

As such; "AI" technologies suffer all the intrinsic disadvantages of all models; but "AI" also intrinsically lack the potential value (which is a pragmatic and retrospective value) of the most valid models.   

Therefore, the special vulnerability of intellectuals to capture by "AI" is in the first-place a consequence of the evil abuses of secondhand models as a way of relating to reality; secondly that "AI" models are of a model-type that cannot validly be used, since they are un-understandable. 

The answer to this situation is in striving to eschew un-understandable models of reality - and to reject their primacy; and to recognize that to be useful a model must genuinely be understood. 

Such a moral discipline will reject a great deal more than "AI" - but exactly that is necessary+. 

Because all abstract models of reality need to be simple enough that we genuinely understand them: and if we are to regard them as central to our lives, we need personally to understand them. 

It is not difficult, as a mental process. 

I believe that we all already-have a simple, innate and direct (because God-given) contact with primary Life and Reality. 

The intellectual deception is in demanding a more comprehensive, hence too-complex, typically too abstract, understanding - than that which is understandable and knowable.

In a nutshell; modern intellectuals of all stripes and types have become experts at self-validating, self-serving, self-deception; by pretending (for advantages of self-esteem, for claimed social expediency) to understand that which they do not understand...

Which is why intellectuals are so especially vulnerable to capture by the un-understandable models of "AI". 

_____

+ I mean that if someone tries to reject "AI" while retaining their commitment to some abstract, complex, un-understood model/s - then that person will end-up by embracing "AI". 

And this is exactly what has happened to so many intellectuals over the past four years. 

As they come to realize that "AI" is not qualitatively different from that-to-which-they-have-outsourced-their-thinking-and-judging; rather than rejecting their practice of outsourcing, such persons instead expand their outsourcing such as to include "AI". 

*NOTE: My concern here is spiritual. Of course; the effect of "AI" will be to hasten the destruction of Western Civilization. But in that resepct "AI" is just one of many, simultaneous and synergistic global strategies (e.g. everywhere war, financial parasitism, purposive economic and agricultural destruction, mass migration, the CO2 Climate agenda etc etc). And, after all, the West is by-now (and increasingly) the most extremely and unrepentantly evil civilization in world history - such that striving to "save" WC in the absence of a prior spiritual rebirth, entails a personal commitment to advance purposive evil. No: The most significant harm of "AI"-capture is spiritual: 1. spiritual outsourcing; and 2. spiritual outsourcing of almost the worst conceivable kind - its being evidently both addictive in the short-term, and purposively soul-destroying in a cumulative and self-stoking fashion. To observe more and ever-more once-respected persons, across the board of thinkers and intellectuals, so-willingly succumbing to AI-dolatry of one sort of another - is a spiritually-dismaying experience. I should add that although AI-capture is common across the board, and not confined to intellectuals; I believe that its spiritual damage is most severe and pervasive - and negatively transformative - among the intellectual class.  

The rise and fall of totalitarian projects is just Office Politics

News-watchers get terribly excited about reports of declining branches of the global totalitarian System. 

For example, there is currently Less top-down rhetorical emphasis on the CO2 climate agenda, although all the vast legislation is still in place.

But this is just Office Politics, the kind of stuff that happens within mega-corporations; the rise and fall of different branches and roles; the transfer of staff and resources that constitutes the frequent "reorganizations" that are endemic in all modern bureaucracies.

As some things are relatively wound down, restructured, outsourced etc; other activities are expanded such as "AI", the military, and Intelligence services.

From the outside this bureaucratic reorganization can appear to be, or spun as, decline or destruction; but this may (often does, as in my professional experience of the National Health Service!) mask actual overall expansion.

On the other hand, organizational expansion is compatible with declining coordination, efficiency, and functional effectiveness; and indeed I believe this is actually happening to the global totalitarian System...

It is both getting bigger, and also more chaotic.

Barbecue emergency! The desperation of the UK bureaucrats

From time to time, something relatively minor happens that nonetheless strikes me as indicating an inflexion point in the accelerating dysfunctionality of the UK. 

One was on the first day of 2000, when there were some hours of delay in opening the Blair government flagship project of the Millennium Dome - much hyped and vaunted, and years in the planning - so that the Great and Good of the nation were kept hanging around in queues outside.

This event presaged the dominating trend of the next two decades.

Last Friday was another, when the very First usage of a national system of smartphone alerts...

- which override muting to generate a blaring siren, supposedly to alert and mobilize the population in the event of national physical emergencies such as war or earthquakes - 

...Was instead used simultaneously to advise tens of millions of citizens throughout England and Wales Not to light barbecues or fireworks if they are located in the middle of high risk wildfire country.

I knew, when it was set-up last September, that the system would quickly degenerate into Crying Wolf, and be abused for propaganda and manipulation; but I did not expect that this would be done straight away and the first time of use! 

I fully expected that the managers would realize that, to serve their long term purposes, they would need to ensure that At First the system must be restricted to Real emergencies.

But no. They could not resist abusing their new toy further to crank-up the messaging in support of their collapsing CO2 climate hobby-horse.

My interpretation is that this is a significant revelation of reckless desperation, as the bureaucratic totalitarians feel their strategy of omni-surveillance and micro-control being superseded by the global-war-mongers and socio-economic wreckers of the Agents of Chaos. 

Great Reset-ers and Agenda 2030-ites see the writing on the office wall; and hope to save their jobs and power by enlisting the fears of the masses to support their own continued "safe" subservience.

We see in many places the velvet glove of bribery and brain-washing being replaced by the iron fist of punishment and coercion - all of which actually feeds the fires of chaos, and hastens the downfall of the bureaucrats.

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. 

Red Alert warning for Extreme Heat in UK!!!

Britain Burning Now! - spontaneous fires break-out across the nation 

The CO2 "Global Warmist" Climate agenda may be a dubious, indeed nonsensical exploded scam for the majority of the UK population; but for the managerial-intellectual class it is a profound spiritual issue - sometimes The most significant problem in the world today.

(Or, second only to the ultimate historical spiritual catastrophe of the UK pretending to have left the EU.) 

Consequently, the tax-funded (about 300 million pounds p.a.) and government-controlled weather forecaster The Met Office (function now re-named "Weather and climate change") has been going berserk in the past few days; because they have been counting down the nation to "evidence" of a climate emergency with a top-level Red-Alert of danger: 

“A red heat health alert [sic!] indicates a risk to life for even the healthy population"! 

This; because temperatures are guesstimated to reach around the mid-thirties Celsius (c 95 degrees Fahrenheit) in some sub-parts of England, for a day or two. 

Well; I do not dispute that this is hot, and I dislike hot weather more than most people. Fortunately we usually avoid the extremes here in at 55 degrees latitude North. 

But the fact is that literally millions of British holiday makers per summer pay substantial amounts of money to visit Spain, Greece, Turkey, Florida, and other very hot places for their holidays; in order to be confident of temperatures in the mid-thirties. 

Indeed, the climate-delusional among the wealthier managerial intellectual class often pay the extra money and personal inconvenience to gravitate to even hotter climes than these - such as Africa, Australia, or South Asia. 

And yet, somehow, these sun-seekers don't behave as if they were taking their lives in their hands... Indeed they often look forward to their holidays; and both during and afterwards insist on showing-and-telling everybody what A Great Time they had - apparently despite dodging death while battling Red Alert Heat Health conditions. 

In sum: in the UK weather forecasting has long-since been weaponized to generate ever-more "evidence" of global warmism. 

In an island nation famed for its temperate climate; those abroad would scarcely credit the number of front page news items there are about emergency weather warnings - either predicting "record breaking" temperatures, or noting that contrived weather stats (that nobody had ever thought about - or cared about) have been exceeded... for some arbitrary slice of time in a very particular locality...

If it is not "unseasonably" warm conditions, which include pleasantly mild winters; then there are warnings before, during, and after any storms - all of which are given names - because these "weather events" are supposed to be more frequent and extreme, which is supposed to indicate climate change. 

And then linking these causally to the latest globalist-capitalist totalitarian imperatives of making colossal profits from parasitically-destroying the economy/ farming/ energy/ trade/ retail/ housing, mass personal transportation etc - aka The Climate Agenda.  

The stark fact is that just as the Met Office cannot predict our Atlantic frontal-system weather three days ahead (except during the rare spells of high pressure - such as now)...

And nobody in the world can validly-predict the future climate of the planet, nor does anybody know what determines climate except for earth's climate being driven overwhelmingly by the long-term activity of the sun - which also cannot be predicted...

But even if it could validly be known that the UK climate was for-sure going to get warmer; then a Very Large majority of the population would regard that as a Good Thing...

As should be obvious not just from holiday destinations; but from the tens of millions of those who have, over the past several generations, moved to live abroad permanently - often specifically to live in hotter places. 

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. 

  

High- and Low-level functionality; Totalitarian control versus Chaos

If I am correct that the ruling class are divided between - on the one side - totalitarian bureaucrats with the aim of omni-surveillance and micro-control - mostly based on the motivation of power. Such people enjoy manipulating people into doing Their will...

And - on the other side - Agents of Chaos; whose agenda is destructive; and whose main motivation is resentment, hatred, and spite. 

They most enjoy immiserating, tormenting and killing people - and any affected purpose is a sufficient excuse for this activity. 

But these two kinds of evil are always mixed, in practice; and I think the way evil works at the geopolitical and national scale is that the two categories are defined by overall and strategic motivation at the high-level. 

And perhaps necessarily, each kind of evil at the strategic level tends to be "balanced" (and made short-term more effective) by the other kind of evil at the lower level. 

So, the totalitarian bureaucrat agenda is essentially ideological at the highest level - and that ideology is Leftist - with its various justificatory sub-strands such as socialism, feminism, antiracism, climate, healthism etc.  t strikes me that there is a kind of division between these groups. 

Consequently, bureaucratic totalitarianism at a high-level almost sabotages itself by destroying functionality at the lower level. 

This is the well known phenomenon whereby top-down imposed Leftist ideology destroys its own functionality in all kinds of institutions, corporations, organizations; because the low-level people are increasingly "doing ideology" instead of running the organization. 

This is why strongly totalitarian leftist organizations so often descend into chaos, and fail to yield their ideological intentions: and we get schools and colleges that do not teach; police indifferent to the law; media "entertainment" that does not entertain; scientists that hide truth and never discover anything useful etc. etc. 

Normal modern Western life...  

In other words there is a conflict between high-level totalitarianism, and always increasing low level-dysfunctionality - and indeed chaos.

The Agents of Chaos have almost the opposite problem; because in order to pursue the high-level chaos, they need to support functionality at the lower levels. 

So, in pursuit of global and national chaos; the AoCs tend to restore some degree of functionality at a low level - thereby creating a non-chaotic, indeed somewhat anti-chaotic, counter-current. 

In order to disrupt agriculture or international trade, or to induce wars; the AoCs may need to build-up manufacturing functionality, or improved military and intel capability; and they may need to deploy genuinely effective propaganda - these, at least in the short-medium term.

Thus, there is a conflict between high-level chaos, and the immediate low-level need for functional power to cause this chaos.

My analysis is not meant to be reassuring. Evil is not defeating itself by these conflicts. 

Instead, the internal contradictions and counter-currents just lead to more evil, of more kinds, in different aspects and places - and make this evil so multiple in nature as to be impossible to defeat by opposition!

As always, we are brought around to the truth that opposing evil is futile or counter-productive; and evil can be overcome only by Good...

(Remembering that there is, and can-be, no real and effective Good; without a personal and loving creator-God. While noting knowledge of such a God is necessary but not sufficient, for truly Good intentions.) 

Not just super-preppers. What are the covert assumptions of the high level globalist rulers?

Anyone who has a (more-or-less) coherent religious basis; can observe that the high level global ruling class is pursuing some kind of covert strategy - a long-term (multi-generational) hidden-agenda. 

This can be seen by examining the tenacity of the major ideological schemes - which I call Litmus Tests. 

In a world of fads and fashions and attention fatigue - mass immigration has been imposed upon all developed nations without exception over decades. The same applies to political Leftism (socialism, feminism, antiracism, sexual revolution), the CO2 Climate agenda, and now "AI" - and there are several other examples. 

All of these Just Are incoherent - both internally and between the strategies; and all are functionally-destructive at the international, national, and local levels. 

At a superficial level, these net-destructive programmes have all greatly enhanced the concentration of power and wealth among the globalist (and national) rulers - even as they dismantle the basis for that power and wealth, and accelerate eventual civilizational collapse. 

Some argue that this selfishness of "elites" is the primary cause of the Litmus Test strategies.

By this argument; the globalist rulers are merely a species of "prepper" - who are working together to ensure that they themselves and their allies; will be the ones to survive any major international downfall. Instead of remote mountain fastnesses, and little gangs based on self-sufficiency and low-tech...

The ruling-class preppers believe they can themselves best be preserved by town-sized survival zones, totalitarian control and organization; an elite supported and served by a small but powerful class of armed protectors/ enforcers; and an enslaved technological experts (apparently these are intended to do their work mostly by computers and the deployment of "AI" and robots...).

(NOTE: I do not regard this scenerio - or something similar - as actually possible in real life; but I do believe that They believe it and are motivated by it.)    

However; I regard it as a serious mistake to assume that selfishness is the primary motivating force behind these strategies.

Such a long-term commitment to the covert strategy, in the face of so many kinds of resistance; implies to me that "They" regard themselves as engaged in some kind of ultimately beneficial agenda... 

"Beneficial", that is, by a secular utilitarian argument; based on some very particular assumptions. 

What makes sense of the covert strategy is that They are convinced that there will be a massive and unavoidable collapse of global civilization; and that They suppose their plans are a rational and "best possible" response to this catastrophic inevitability. 

They are being told, and are telling each other, that the covert agendas are means to an end...

An end that is for the eventual benefit of "Mankind" - a course of action that will minimise the totality of inevitable suffering; and preserve as much of civilization as "realistically" possible.

They see themselves as tough-minded pragmatists and realists; who have the onerous responsibility of making very difficult choices - with the overall aim of getting the best achievable outcome from an unavoidably disastrous situation that will entail enormous human suffering and the deaths of literally billions - i.e. an assumption of looming certain death of a large majority of the world population. 

This kind of covert assumed and predicted framework, is probably the basis for the sustained cohesion and purpose of the globalist leadership class - and the basis for their energy, direction, and self-confidence - and self-superiority. 

Because apparently They see-themselves as noble rulers doing a dirty but necessary job that nobody else can or will do. 

And their personal enrichment and tyrannical powers are self-justified as necessary means to this necessary end. 

Yet; if that is indeed (more or less) the story They tell themselves; and even though it does contain some truth (for instance, I agree with an analysis that predicts that global civilization will collapse, and that billions will die) - that is not the whole story...

Because the story is rooted in secular utilitarian this-worldly assumptions and values, that are themselves intractably incoherent and cannot serve as a valid basis for any kind of "morality".

And this is what has led the global rulers into being willingly-manipulated into doing the work of demonic powers of evil. 

The real agenda behind the globalists covert agenda is one of the Satanic corruption and damnation of souls - and by this understanding: the globalist rulers are the first victims; eager dupes who, regardless of what happens in this-world in the future, have actually (as things stand now) chosen for themselves an eternal destiny of demonic servitude. 

This FOOT PATH - I mean FOOT "WAY" is closed...

Illegal signage!

I recently noticed the weird tendency for the local government to replace the ancient and universally understood term "footpath" with a new word - "footway" - on its signage. 

Decades of experience have taught me that there is always some covert agenda behind such apparently arbitrary changes to language - and I am now more than ever convinced of this*. 

Today I saw a sign stating "Footway closed" - but the word "path" had been crudely covered with tape, and "way" had been written over it with a marker pen. 

This demonstrates to my satisfaction that the change in name comes top down and has been imposed. 

And this tells me that the re-naming is part of some strategy for re-classifying the legal status of (what used to be) footpaths. 

I don't know what this strategy might be, but (given the UK local government zealous-obsession with the totalitarian "climate"-rationalized destruction of quality of life, and life itself); the strategy might be something to do with legally-allowing/ encouraging forms of transportation other than feet, and groups of movers other than pedestrians, to use those tracks that used to be foot-paths. 

Given the local government obsession with providing Rolls Royce (but nigh unused) facilities for cyclists (justified by climate-totalitarianism); and the recent de facto redefinition of cyclists to include electric motorbikes and scooters; I am suspicious that there may be a move towards including once-footpaths into the (already vast, all-but empty) network of "cycle tracks". 

Then pedestrians and women with baby buggies can be mangled and slaughtered en masse by buzzing hordes of 25-plus mph two-wheelers. Or, simply driven to stay at home cowering behind locked-doors... 

Result!

I await developments to see if I am correct. 

*NOTE: I have done a bit of "research" about this; however seems to be so much brain-washing, ignorance and dishonesty in what people say - that I found it pretty worthless. The only perhaps useful point was that apparently: "footway is regarded as a component of a road as a whole rather than a separate entity". Maybe this provides a helpful definitional "loophole" for whatever is intended? 

Pure Protestants and "Bare Salvation"

A serious problem that besets (what might be called) Pure Protestants, is the minimalist desire for Salvation-only - a life dedicated to Bare Salvation, and (ultimately) nothing-else-matters. 

This is a consequence of that strand of Reformation theology that focuses (almost exclusively) on Salvation by Faith - by the Grace of God. 

The Pure Protestant inference is that salvation is the only thing that matters, and salvation is achieved by faith in God during this mortal life - indeed specifically faith at the end of this mortal life. 

For a Pure Protestant: "As the tree falls, so shall it lie" - eternally. In other words, by the state of our soul at the moment of death, so shall our eternal destiny be decided.  

This has some appalling consequences in practice; because the whole of our mortal lives up to the moment of death is hazardous and futile at best.

The optimal thing in a mortal life would be to die at the instant of conversion; to eliminate the risk that subsequent experiences would cause us to backslide and lose faith*. 

Presumably; it is only the prohibition on suicide that prevents this being a normal post-conversion sequela - but anyway, a PP would be very likely to pray for the deliverance from the threat of damnation by wanting Death ASAP, for as long as he has faith.

 

What then should a Pure Protestant do with his life? 

Just about the only valid activities would seem to be - 1. to guard one's faith, and 2. to seek the conversion of others: evangelism. 

And this is, indeed, the tendency of Pure Protestants: faith is guarded by repeatedly re-visiting, re-living, re-experiencing the conversion experience; and by engaging in whatever evangelical activities are deemed (by current theological theories) to be likely to succeed at inducing the maximum number of conversions. 

That is the theory, or aspiration - yet (looking around at PP-tending churches as of 2025) it clearly does not work, and has not worked for some decades. 

The reasons is that with PP there is no such thing as legitimate positive, constructive, creative spiritual activity. 

And a faith-defending life spent under continuous, increasing, inescapable siege from the extreme and pervasive evil of modern Western societies can only lead to defeat - sooner or later. 

By denying the value of any this-worldly spiritual activity; Pure Protestantism creates a values-vacuum which is almost inevitably occupied by the hegemonic, secular, materialistic (and nowadays leftist) socio-political morality - which perhaps explains why self-identified Christians of this type are often strikingly successful in terms of status, money, and power. 

And this brings with it the besetting modern-Western sins such as untruthfulness, resentment and despair - and many (if not all) of the the characteristic value-inversions of totalitarianism. 

Holding-out against some of the inversions of the sexual revolution is one positive thing; but when Pure Protestantism eagerly embraces socialism, antiracism, climate-environmentalism, birdemic-healthism etc etc - then there is no cause whatsoever for self-congratulation.

Such churches have-been and are decisively assimilated into supporting the strategic demonic agenda.

   

The answer lies in examining the false assumptions at the root of Bare Salvationism. 

If God sustains us alive, then there is work he wants us to do; and that work must surely be spiritual in its nature and individual in its focus. 

It's up to each Pure Protestant to discover what that spiritual work must be for himself, personally, here-and-now. 

* That wonderful story in Acts of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, really ought to end (if Bare Salvationism was true, and if it were to have a genuinely joyful ending) with the eunuch slipping underwater and drowning, the instant after he was baptized... Rather than, as reported, going on his way "rejoicing". (And then, according to Ethiopian Orthodoxy - as I understand it - returning home to found the church in that country.)

The Left is winning, where it matters: Right triumphalism misunderstands the very nature of the Left

People who regard themselves as of the Right are displaying an insane and blinkered optimism that they are winning, and rolling-back Leftism. 

This is because they do not understand what the Left is, in its fundamental nature. 

If they did understand, those who proclaim themselves of the Right would realize that they are merely functioning as a subtype of the Left. 

The political Right supposes that the Left is an ideology rooted in some principles. They believe that the Left IS these policies that I call the Litmus Tests: I mean things like socialism, feminism, antiracism, anti-antisemitism, the Climate Agenda. 

In general terms, the self-identified Right define the Left in terms of Political Correctness, SJWs, Wokeness - and their manifestations in the mass media, law, employment regulations etc. 

Because they suppose that the Left is an ideology of "Wokeness" the Right imagine that reversals of specific social practices and regulations represent a rolling-back of Leftism in their nation, or in the world.

When the Right sees such laws, fundings, rhetoric being undone; they think the Left is being defeated. 

But this is completely wrong; because the Left is a negative ideology, an ideology of opposition, and none of the Litmus Tests are core features of Leftism - they might all, in principle, be undone and the Left still be as strong as ever.    

All the Left ideologies are negative in form: the Left is (in various times and places) against many things (capitalism, the bourgeoisie, inequality, patriarchy, European people, Christians) - but is not in favour of any state of affairs as an ultimate and real goal.  

In other words the Left is protean in nature, fluid, adapting - it is continually discarding old ideologies and taking up new ones. 

The Left used to be in favour of economic communism - but not any more; in favour of native-born male industrial workers  (the working class) - but not any more; in favour of equality of opportunities and unequal outcomes - but not any more. 

Leftism can and does discard anything that is currently inexpedient; because there are an endless number of alternatives.

And there is in fact no coherent thing as "the Right"; because the Right is merely opposition to the various Leftist oppositions. 

Leftist ideology is double-negative (i.e. against what they currently regard as bad things), the "the Right" is a triple negation (i.e. against those who are against what the Left currently calls bad things).

No wonder those endless essays striving to define the Right never gets anywhere!  

This is why the Right is so wrong about the rolling back of Leftism. It supposes that the Left abandoning some of its recent woke agenda represents some kind of a defeat, but it is just the usual slippery shape-shifting of Leftism; which now has other priorities - especially war. 

Since Leftism is fundamentally oppositional and negative - Leftism is essentially destructive. 

War is very destructive; hence world war is perhaps an ultimate expression of Leftism. 

(And it matters nothing that pacifism, anti-war, anti-violence; was one of the original roots of Leftism - from more than 200 years ago.) 

War can give Leftism everything and more of whatever losses it may suffer from dropping a few strands of political correctness.  

Just look at what the Leaders of Western nations are actually doing, where they are putting most of their effort - they are in practice (not in what they say, but in what they do over time) angling for more war. 

Not to win a war, but for the maximizing the destruction of war: destruction of economies, societies, trade, positive national identities, of nature (aka "the environment") - expansion of such negations as lies, resentment, and despair. 

We are - and have been for a few years - seeing more and more wars, and what war brings. expanding and escalating the already existing World War with its multiple fronts - but especially in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

We can see the globalist totalitarian leadership class at work engineering wars all over the place; recently on the Asian Subcontinent. This isn't easy to do, there are plenty of people who don't want war - for obvious reasons. But that is what "They" are serious about.  

Ultimately, of course, politics is downstream of the spiritual war of this world; Leftism is a tool of evil in its opposition to God and Divine Creation.

Yes, the sexual revolution was and is a deadly tool of corruption; but a self-righteous and hate-driven war of each against all would be deadlier still. 

When the Right celebrates a few small "victories" (many of which turn out to mere words, and no substantive change; they miss that the Left now has bigger fish to fry, and other things it care much more about. 

The woke agenda might be "forgotten" as thoroughly as the days (a century ago) when white European men were the Left's heroes! - but the Left is continuing to win, and win where it matters most. 

And this will continue until those on the Right recognize that they are part of the problem, and repent. 

  

The proper approach to evaluating "AI" - From the comments...

From commenter No Longer Reading:

There's an idea that you need to have written the Summa Technologica to criticize technology. But it's a lot more basic than that. If it has bad effects or it's based on a bad ideology then it's bad. 

Techno-totalitarian mass surveillance has obviously had bad effects. There's no need to debate whether "the true mass surveillance has never been tried". It's also based on a bad ideology. So, it's bad. 

Also, there's a mixing up of two separate things. On the one hand there's the fact that the universe is set up such that a particular technology can be invented. On the other hand is the technology itself. Nature works how it works, but then humans choose what to investigate and what to try to invent within the bounds set by nature. 

Whether the universe is set up in a particular way is neutral, well, no living human being knows that, so it's a moot point. But technology is a human endeavour. 

If religion doesn't get a free pass that it's always good or at least neutral, why are we supposed to give such a fee pass to technology, which is every bit as human as religion?

**

My comments: 

I was struck by the incisiveness of that last sentence. It makes a telling point. 

The exact same people who are defending-promoting AI are often-usually people who are hypercritical of some religions (and of leftist politics, or its components such as the climate agenda). 

What they are doing is to regard some mass-scale coordinated human endeavours as appropriate to be evaluated morally in terms of their overall intent and nature... 

But other mass-scale coordinated human endeavours - specifically AI - are exempted from evaluation; and assumed to be neutral tools.

A further point that strikes me is the "but its only an incremental extension of... [something already existing]" argument. 

Such that AI is only an (admittedly multi-trillion-dollar and coercively implemented) incremental development of the already-existing internet. 

It is, of course, true that AI is a development of the internet - the problem is that word "only"! 

As if a vast and coordinated political/ administrative/ financial/ industrial/ mass media program was rendered insignificant - simply by inserting the word "only"!

Further; almost-all evil is an extension of pre-existing evil. 

In a sense; horrific world wars are only "politics by other means"; and politics is only interpersonal interaction writ large. Each increment of the sexual revolution is built on what went before, so that SSM is only an extension of no fault divorce. 

True enough in terms of lineage. But are we not, then, to notice when some big new evil is being imposed upon us? 

Or to pretend that - because a development of what already is - it doesn't matter; or that it is not evilly motivated?

This is why repentance is so vital. We made an error of judgment that leads to further errors of judgment - often to rationalize or justify that first error. We then find ourselves (individually or collectively) a long way down a path to evil.

But for a Christian, this is not too late - it is never too late!

This is when we ought to recognise and acknowledge that the first and subsequent choices were actually on the side of evil, although not recognized at the time they were made. 

It does not matter how we got here, or that we are far advanced in evil. We can always repent evil, at any time or place, and from any degree of corruption. 

It's not a matter of whether this repentance can or will lead to some positive change in the world as we know it - that is not the point. Repentance is about our attitudes and allegiances - repentance is not about palliating or reforming this mortal life.

Of course repentance may lead to betterment, and spiritual progress (in an individual or socially) can scarcely be made without repentance. But that is not the point of repenting; and anyway all such this-worldly benefit is of-its-nature extremely partial, restricted, and temporary.

BUT, as WmJas Tychonievich wisely opines:

Arguing the point with people who don't immediately and intuitively get it, unfortunately seems to be a waste of time. 

Let the dead bury their dead.

The Litmus Tests are really learning opportunities

The Litmus Tests to which I so often refer on this blog, are a mixture of old and new - they are continually being added-to. 

I first conceptualized them in 2020 in reference to the Birdemic and Peck, which were added onto much longer established Totalitarian Establishment strategies - such as pacifism, socialism, feminism and sexual revolution, antiracism, climate change etc. 

Since 2020 there have been further Litmus Tests, such as (especially in the UK) the war against the Fire Nation. And currently there is a Litmus Test with reference to taking sides in the civil war that is splitting the globalist materialists of the Totalitarian Establishment.

(Or apparently so - because the civil war may ultimately, at the highest level, be a faked show put-on to manipulate the masses.)   

It is pretty clear that the Litmus Tests never stop. As commenter Laeth has said; each new Test probes for different vulnerabilities among those people (and institutions) who had been able to hold-out against being assimilated into active support to the Totalitarian Agenda*. 

Thus the healthism of the Birdemic/ Peck led to the corruption of most of the the holdouts among mainstream Christian churches... Conservative Catholics, Evangelicals and Mormons that had resisted the sexual revolution; became wildly-enthusiastic about closing their churches and suspending activities until further notice; and imposing lockdown, atomistic social isolation, and habits of systematic interpersonal fear.  

Later; some of those who had successfully resisted the Birdemic manipulations, then joined with a nationally-orchestrated, media-constructed, Orwellian "two-minute hate session" against the Fire Nation - a two-minutes that has continued for three years, so far (and which is still actively attempting to create a self-annihilating all-out state of war, with the UK as prime target). 

The current situation wit hte new President in the USA is but the most recent Litmus Test. This has, like previous tests, been able to subvert and "turn" a significant proportion of those "holdouts" who had resisted the Birdemic and Fire Nation Tests. It seems that perhaps a majority of "based" online anti-woke, self-identified Christians; have gone all-in for an almost delirious combination of schadenfreude with this-worldly-optimism; the whole thing focused on various Antichrist-figures among the mainstream, totalitarian establishment. 

In one sense these Litmus Tests can be understood as an almost inevitable consequence of the increasing power of Satan and his demons and human servants within this-world - clearly, they will continue to win more-and-more souls to an more-certain (self-chosen) damnation. 

On the other hand they may perhaps be seen as tests allowed by God; because of the opportunities each one brings for a different kind of spiritual learning, and therefore spiritual development - an education in preparation for our post-mortal resurrected life. 

(Which education is, IMO, the purpose of our sustained mortal life. We each continue to live because we have more that it would be good - and perhaps essential - for us to learn.) 

However, I personally do not see the Litmus test as allowed by God nor as a divinely ordained method of spiritual education. Instead I see them as things that God cannot prevent, in this world as it actually is. 

My understanding is: The Litmus Tests originate variously, but become strategies due to their potential for evil and are sustained for that reason. 

They are not of-God; but God can and does (as always) make the best of the bad situations that result, because of his love for each of us, as His divine children. 

And we should take the same attitude of making the best spiritual use of the situations. We should regard the Litmus Tests as direct challenges - not to our peace/ prosperity/ comfort/ convenience; but challenges to our innermost spiritual freedom, the primacy of Christian love, and the requirement for absolute personal responsibility. 

The core part of this is realizing that, for all their geopolitical qualities, the Litmus Tests are Not primarily about material circumstances for large numbers of people in this-world - on the contrary; their true primary reality is directed at the free individual human soul; who always-can and needs-to discern reality in-and-for-himself; whatever the pressures and distractions of this material and social world.   

*Note: As I have previously said; the special significance of Litmus Tests, as with all temptations to sin, is that failure on even a single Test can be sufficient to induce a person to choose reject salvation and choose damnation. Therefore, it is a misunderstanding to express satisfaction that some particular person or institution has passed one, or several, or a majority of the Litmus Tests. In principle and in practice; even when just a single Litmus Test is failed, then that may be a sufficient basis for corruption and inversion of values. And this is made much more likely because the Global Totalitarian Establishment will reward and amplify any such failure; to convert passive acquiesce into active support.     

The power and limitations of "magical thinking" - including in totalitarian bureaucracies (as well as Golden Dawn magical societies)

For the purposes of this post, I shall define magical thinking as the method of sustained concentration upon imagined content. Magical thinking is (or was) practiced by the Golden Dawn type magical societies; but also by such mega-mundane (and apparently anti-magical) organizations as those bureaucracies that dominate and typify the modern Western civilization. 

What happens is that there is a recurrent or continuous focus upon specific imagined content - the imagined content may be visual, conceptual - or any other, in principle. 

That imagined content takes-on an objectivity by being reflected back by others in the group, and by being thought-upon continually or recurrently. 

There is a further objectivity that derives from the process of mental training involved in making and sustaining these imagined content - practice and effort can develop powers both of concentration (of single point attention, of cutting out other potential contact); and also the ability inwardly to perceive the imagined content. 

Thus, a "magician" who is capable of this magical thinking, has "powers" with respect to other people; especially the psychological-social power to stay focused on a single objective in a world where most people are highly distractible and lack any core or coherence to their belief systems.

From the perspective of the magician, at least for a while, there is an apparent objective and predictive validity to their imaginings. The magician feels himself powerful, because he can (by the power of his concentration and "vision") influence other people into adopting - or going along with, his plans. 

Because of this psycho-social influence; the magician can also perceive reality in such a way that his plans seem to be coming to fruition, or at least moving in that direction... 

In the vicinity of the magician, people are talking about his vision, perhaps writing and in general communicating about it; more people are being drawn into these communications - and the communications are (in some way or another) having an effect on human behaviour more widely.  

It seems - and this impression may last considerable periods - if not stressed by other imposed pressures -  that the imagined reality is coming true; being brought to reality by the power of concentrated and sustained group-imagination. 

Those who have (like me) participated in large and professionalized bureaucracies (in my case, as a public health doctor in the National Health Service, and a participant in university management committees at several levels) do not, perhaps, realize the extent to which magical thinking is the basis of bureaucracy; and the way in which it is (or appears to be) validated by the experience of the bureaucrats and their leaders. 

For those on the inside; magical thinking - although that is not how it is conceptualized - really works... 

The committees are "inspired" by some imaginary "vision", and they keep focused on it, talking about it, debating its implementation, writing about it, "researching" it, making policies, monitoring "outcomes" and adjusting policies - until they are absolutely convinced of its reality. 

And convinced too that their imagined vision is destined to "come to pass". 

This kind of magical thinking is (more or less) how wholly-manufactured, incoherent, impossible phenomena like the climate agenda, the transagenda and antiracism; have arisen, been sustained, grown - and come to seem both real and inevitable by the totalitarian system participants. 

And the magical thinking of magical societies was very much analogous. Through their systems of study, practice, ritual - through training in concentration and imagination; they developed a quasi objectivity and sense of objective reality and progress that sustained them for some decades. 

But in this mortal and entropic world, magical thinking does not continue for very long unless infused by new personnel, resources, and top-down compulsion (supplemented by bribery and blackmail). These were not available to the magical societies, so they would decline and disappear, or fission and fight each other, or become assimilated to some other agenda that were more powerfully imposed - such as war. 

At an individual level I can attest to the way that a long-term daydream type fantasy - when combined with intense visualization and concentration - can take-on a sense of destiny; such that we automatically come to expect that what we imagine and desire - at least to some sufficiently focused and long-term degree - will sooner or later "come to pass". 

This has often been the case in my life, and so far only a very small minority of such apparent destinies have ever actually come to pass - and often those that were among the least vividly- and concentratedly-imagined.  

My purpose in this post is to suggest that magical thinking is a real thing, and has (from within, and to some extent in actuality) an objective reality - yet that it also contains many pitfalls and problems. 

It is not A Good Thing (of itself) to be able to imagine and concentrate upon chosen material - not in the way that the magical societies used to suppose - and the evidence for this is the way that analogous magical methods are employed by totalitarian bureaucracy. 

But neither is it necessarily a Bad Thing. 

Magical thinking can probably best be conceptualized as a trade-off, in which intensity and focus and progress on a narrow front; are achieved at the cost of a less general, less complete, understanding and participation in the totality of reality. 

The development of narrow sustained focus tends to diminish the capacity and possibility of self-correction; and reduces the chance of repentance when there are falsehoods, errors, and evils. 

It is, as always, a case of First Things First; and our fundamental reality and priority ought to be Christian - and "techniques" ought to operate only within that primary frame. 

The ultimate feebleness of magical thinking is evidenced by the way it is discarded when things get serious, when the chips are down - when the groups are destroyed, corrupted and co-opted to the larger socio=political agenda of the moment.

That is when we need Christianity, and we need a Christianity that is strong sustained, autonomous; and does not depend upon group validation.  

We must be ready and able to stand-alone with God, in spiritual terms; and to create and sustain That reality is our true priority.    

The double-negative world of oppositional morality is ruled by demonic purpose

In this Western civilization, in which morality is double-negative; and consists of a multitude of oppositions to real or fake (it doesn't matter which - although fake is better) problems (abuses/ emergencies/ crises) - this world, is ruled by covert strategic purpose at the highest level. 

(This also happens within institutions, including within churches.) 

The "little people", the masses are kept occupied, and feeling good about themselves; by fire-fighting the latest problems; meanwhile the vacuum of purpose is filled from above, by the demonic agenda.

There are numerous examples. The demonic agenda of totalitarianism (ever-expanding bureaucracy, omni-surveillance, micro-control) proceeds via the moralistic frenzies of a multitude of "activists" who oppose... well, it doesn't matter what they oppose - whether it is slavery, war, climate emergency, famine, class/sex/race discrimination, social inequality, the latest bogey dictator/ nation/ religion. 

In the end, all such double-negations, oppositions to some perceived or real badness, are framed and directed by the overall agenda. 

The frenzy of opposition is led towards "solutions" that may not work, may not be relevant - but always forward the overall agenda - which has for many decades been totalitarian; but now is becoming more and more spitefully destructive: chaos inducing.

Thus the terminus of double-negative thinking, is the negation of double-negation! Using anti-war movements to promote actual wars; the environmentalist crusade to destroy the actual environment, deploying healthism to legitimize killing - and so on. 

Without God, Men are mentally sick; because without the divine there can be no purpose. 

And without purpose Men destroy themselves, and everything else. 

And without God - they do not even notice!

    

Tethered caps on disposable bottles - a microcosm of strategic cultural suicide

I began to notice recently that I could not get the caps off bottles of drinks, which remained tethered to the bottle, until I cut them with strong scissors, or tore them free by main force. Otherwise it was nigh impossible to pour the drink because the tethered cap got in the way - and even unscrewing a tethered cap is mechanically self-defeating. 

After this became more and more common, I belatedly discovered that this was due to a new EU law - and (of course) the UK has never left the EU. 

This business is a perfect microcosm of here-and-now. Tethered caps are supposed to "encourage" recycling of the drinks caps, and recycling is always and invariably A Good Thing. And the more plastic crap we manufacture, the more we can recycle it - Yay! 

It's all an oh-so-serious issue - but conveniently serves the stepwise agenda of universal and detailed surveillance and control; by which permissible screw-on bottle top design has been brought under globalist totalitarian control.  

So, yet again; a dysfunctional and utterly futile law in service of an evil-motivated, anti-life agenda (CO2 Climate-excused totalitarianism) has been oh-so-laboriously discussed and decided-upon, and imposed internationally by vast bureaucratic-regulatory efforts. 

One of the stupidest and wrongest of traditional sayings, an inversion of truth - is: Look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.

(Especially stupid since it arose when there were 240 pennies in a pound sterling!)

Yet this is modern Green "environmentalism" in a nutshell. In service to fake knowledge about a fake-and-evil theory concerning "climate change" - we have governments imposing energy-consuming and CO2 producing laws in pursuit of changes that - even if all predictive climate-change models were accurate (which they certainly are not, never having been validated), would have undetectably trivial benefits. Meanwhile engaging in mandatory and colossal environmental destruction - for example by gratuitous and mega-polluting wars.    

As another instance; thus we have (in the UK) truly draconian criminal laws protecting certain species such as bats against humans - we are not even allowed to touch these creatures. On the other hand, bats are being slaughtered by the ever-increasing numbers of "environmentally friendly" (but functionally counter-productive) wind-turbines at an admitted rate of thousands-to-millions per year! 

Nobody sincere, rational and well-motivated could possibly behave this way - hence we know for sure that those ruling The West are overall dishonest, irrational and evil-motivated. 

This is possible only by the docile, stupid, and preeningly self-satisfied mind-set of the Western managerial-intellectual class; a group who personally profit from laboriously and expensively implementing an agenda of pointlessly symbolic pseudo-reform in context of a strategy that is ultimately aimed-at purposive political, social, and personal destruction. 

The ruling demons are laughing themselves sick - pay attention, and you can "hear" them!

The Birdemic-Peck as a case study in how the-agenda-of-destruction manipulates totalitarian-evil into implementing its plans

What follows can be considered a small exemplar of the destructive programme of the globalist and Western top-leadership class; and how they get the world's "middle managers" to go along with it. 

By the world's middle managers, I mean those who most people regard as the ultimate leaders: e.g. national political and governmental leaders, large corporation leaders, mass media moguls, the executives of all large institutions such as the military and police, science, education, law, the arts, and churches. 

What these globalist-middle-managers instruct, in obedience to the real world-leadership class, is then obediently implemented by the administrative myrmidons - that vast class of the professional and managerial middle class who dominate everyday life. 

So when it comes to global implementation of the Peck, as a supposed response to the Birdemic; we can see how this played-out. 

At the low level of implementation which most people perceive; we saw a united-front from public health professionals, doctors and researchers; being referenced as conclusive evidence by politicians, managers and the mass media. 

Yet there was zero rational case for using The Peck at all, at any level - let alone a multi-billion global level. 

Why? Because the Peck was unnecessary, ineffective and harmful. 

In other words, mass pecking should not even have been considered. But if it had been considered honestly; it totally failed to satisfy standard, consensus epidemiological benefit-risk criteria (which I was taught as a public health medic in the early 1990s). 

So the consensus that global mass pecking was necessary and good was clear evidence that the visible leadership class and their "justifiers" and "implementers" was simply "obeying orders". 

Orders which I infer were emanating from the invisible world real-leadership class. 

We need to ask why these personages regarded it as the single major global priority to peck everybody in the world with an agent that could only do net harm? 

And then a rigorous consideration will lead to the answer that this imperative was destructive in its aim: it could not be otherwise? 

Whatever the actual outcome of Giga-pecking (and given the gross corruption of data collection and science and the media - I don't believe this can accurately be known), the destructive motivation is evident. 

My point here is that we can understand the global peck campaign as motivated by Sorathic-destructive evil; but implemented by the Ahrimanic-totalitarian believers in a global Matrix-System of micro-surveillance and omni-control. 

Thus, the motivators and the implementers of mass-pecking each have a different agenda. 

Therefore; both hyper-organization and general-destruction are simultaneously being-pursued. 

Which prevails? 

At first glance the totalitarians are far more numerous and known, and seem likely to prevail; but that is not the case.

Because 1. destruction and disorder is so much easier than construction and order; and 2. the globalist totalitarians are obedient to the top-level Sorathic beings. 

In practice - as with the Peck - the vast apparatus of totalitarianism, merely serves to rationalize and implement the agenda of destruction. The totalitarians do what they are told; which includes dishonestly "explaining" why the Peck is not just necessary but safe, not just safe but beneficial. 

This is how the agenda of destruction is pursued. 

It applies to the Birdemic itself, and the Peck. It applies to the Climate stuff, the antiracism stuff, the feminism and transagenda, to the Fire Nation and Arrakis wars, indeed to all of the major and long-term policies of the real rulers of this mortal world that I have termed the Litmus Tests. 

 

Post UK election predictions

The UK election has been "won" by the Ahrimanic totalitarians who will try to push ahead more rapidly with Agenda 2030/ Davos/ WEF plans for a perma-lockdown world.

(Fake-justified by climate, equity, environment, inclusion etc etc.)

But against this, and sabotaging it, is the Sorathic ascendancy at the highest levels of demon-affiliated leadership; subverting the mono-bureaucracy-media with spiteful chaos.

And They will be pushing for full UK participation, indeed leadership, in an expanded WWIII - plus escalation of within-UK civil aggression.

Inter- and intra- national violence, with disease and starvation in its wake...

(The covert aim being the annihilation of the UK and its population. A spiritual war, because They believe the masses have become so corrupt as to choose damnation.)

I predict that short-termist, selfish chaos will beat strategic top-down control.

Because this is an entropic world... Dis-order is just So Much Easier!

**

NOTE ADDED: William Wildblood's take on the UK election is well worth a look. 

Things are Much worse than military analysts assume; because the Western strategists want to Lose, not win (and maximize destruction while doing so)

While the cultivated ignorance and delusional nature of mainstream Western officials and media are predictable appalling; the supposedly alternative analyses of the West versus Fire Nation war is more deeply concerning to me. 

The military experts and analysts persist in regarding this as a modern version of the kind of wars throughout history; whereas this is a situation the world has never before experienced.

Because the leadership of the Western (i.e. globalist) world (and I mean the real leadership, those who set the Western strategy) are qualitatively different in their motivations from any group of leaders in world history. 

The military expert analysts assume that the West ultimately wants the West to win this war - which is Not True. 

Those who are strategically responsible for the FN war, its continuation and escalation towards totality; primarily want the West to lose. 

That is their core motivation. "They" mainly want the West to be destroyed * - and the FN war is one of several, simultaneously pursued, means to that end.

Destruction of the Fire Nation, Earth Nation and other places are also real motivators - but secondary, optional. 

(Other means to the end of Western destruction include other wars; but also the many long-term self-destructive strategies I call Litmus Tests: e.g. the birdemic-peck, the climate agenda, the sexual revolution, the "antiracism" agenda - and the whole raft of leftist political auto-lethalities.)

   

On the other side; the core and strategic motivation of the Fire Nation is easily understandable (for normal people!), conventional, and historically multi-precedented - the FN mainly wants Not to lose. Wants to preserve and strengthen its culture and people. 

So the FN War is grossly asymmetrical in terms of motivations; in a way never before seen - at least never on a sustained and global scale. 

Indeed, the FN conflict may not even qualify as a "war" in the conventional sense; because The goal of the Western leadership is an orgy of insane multi-national mutual- and self- destruction - which is not really "a war"...

But that is precisely what the Western leadership strategists are working towards...

And for as long as so many people are so utterly unaware of the fact; for so long as they continue to think of this as "just-another war", like so many wars before: for so long They will continue to progress incrementally towards their major goal of destructive chaos primarily affecting the West. 

Note added: An overall interpretative perspective on the nature of the FN war (and the world generally) does not derive from evidence, and cannot therefore be overturned by observations - it is a matter of assumptions not empirical data. (Because assumptions both select and interpret the data.) Nonetheless, the immediate action of the Western side in coercively-imposing self-destructive sanctions, and the way that the West has continued to increase these in the face of massive evidence of their self-destructive nature; plus the self-destructive act of the West destroying a major conduit for Western energy supply - could certainly be taken as consistent-with the assumption that the war is primarily aimed against the West.   

The spirit world, and what to do about it?

There is the physical or material world inhabited by incarnated mortal Beings (i.e. the only world acknowledged as real by the modern mainstream ideology). This contains a mixture of good and evil, some Beings on the side of God and divine creation; other Beings opposed to this - and all mortal Beings are some mixture of these motivations. The material world is subject to entropy - subject to change, decay, disease, degeneration, and death - the irrevocable dissolution of physical forms. 

Then there is the Divine World - "inhabited" by God, the ascended Jesus Christ/ The Holy Ghost. And also - since the work of Jesus Christ, the divine world is inhabited by the denizens of Heaven - resurrected Men (and, presumably, other Beings). It is a realm entirely of Good, that is to say that all is motivated by love. It is also an eternal realm, without entropy. 

But there is another realm: the underworld/ dream-world realm of spirit Beings. 

The spirit world. 

For ancients, this was the realm of dreams, the place where souls went after death (perhaps being reincarnated from there). 

A wide range of Beings have been supposed to inhabit this "psychic" realm: gods, angels, demons, nature spirits, chthonic monsters, ghosts, non-human sentient spirits of many kinds and degrees.

Like the physical realm the "underworld" is mixed; with Beings that contain both good and evil motives - and including Beings affiliated to the agenda of evil. 

However; this realm, like the physical realm, will also be "visited" by the wholly-good denizens of the Divine Realm.  

The spirit realm is like the physical world in being also subject to entropy - in that, although spirits do not "die" in the way that physical Beings die; they are subject to destructive change - to degeneration, disease, loss of self... 

The spirit world is a fact of life. It is "all around" us, always, and wherever we happen to be; and has influences. 

This means the spirit world is (like the physical world) differentiated, heterogeneous, varied by time and place.

Thus the spirit world (whether we are aware of it or not) will affect us - somewhat like geography, climate, seasons and weather affect us. At some times and/or some situations the spirit world will be benign and helpful, maybe enjoyable. 

But in other circumstances, the spirit world will be net hostile, fear- or misery-inducing perhaps, or having evil influences - therefore hostile in specific ways.  

The striking fact of modern life for Men - including most, not all, Christians - is that we have all-but lost any spontaneous consciousness of the spirit realm. We live "in" it, but unaware, typically denying its reality. 

It is as if we wandered from the Arctic to the Sahara, while unaware of the differences, and taking no account of them in our lives. 

This is part of our alienation: modern Man is cut-off from a multitude of relationships with the world. These relationships are potentially bad and good both, as with the physical world: but most importantly they are real and unavoidable. 

The consequence is that we "miss" the spiritual realm - and (even if unconsciously) we know that our experience and knowledge of reality is incomplete. We are, to that extent, maimed. 

Further: this situation is made worse by many Christians, who regard the spirit realm as nothing but a threat, a spiritual danger, the domain of demonic temptation - that must be avoided. They regard the underworld as at best inessential, at worst a constant threat. 

More moderately, but with the same result; Christians regard the spirit world as an "optional extra" for life; something that we do not need, and is therefore best avoided because of its spiritual hazards. 

This is one way in which mainstream, orthodox, traditional Christianity has not just failed to meet the challenge of modernity; but has indeed worsened the situation. 

But suppose that we do - as a matter of fact - both need the spirit world, just as we need the physical world; and anyway cannot avoid it - even when we want to? 

We may fence ourselves in - but we cannot fence the spirit world out. We can only make ourselves unaware of it, and explain away its effects. 

What then?

Well, in my judgment there are no really good models from the past, that work for this present among Western people, no good models concerning how we ought to regard and relate-to the spirit world.  

There are, of course, plenty of people who - even nowadays - are aware of the spirit world in some way - "clairvoyants" or "psychics" of many kinds. Maybe they have visions of spirits, converse with spirits; and seek-out such contacts. 

The problem is that these are mostly Not wise or knowledgeable people. They are often silly, or motivated badly. By my evaluations; their knowledge (apparently derived from contacts with spirits) is unreliable, and often incoherent nonsense, or rather blatant self-gratifying fantasy. 

They often seem to be seeking spirits to help them gain worldly gratifications (health, sex, power status - the usual stuff). 

Or, on the other side, they seem to be seeking to surrender to the world of spirits, to be overpowered and controlled by the spirits they encounter. Self-annihilation... Not good.  

At any rate, the "fruits" are often bad - in that a majority of those who are (or claim to be) in contact with the spirit world are (to me) unimpressive, and usually have taken the side of evil in the spiritual wars. But then again, so have most self-identified "Christians", and those of other religions! 

(There is no "safe" path to salvation and theosis that can be objectively described or externally imposed - and the greatest danger is for those who believe there is.)   

To me, "the Spiritual" are mostly unimpressive... and yet not always! 

While - like all mortal Men - mixed-Beings who are prone to errors and being misled; there have been some people (and in the "modern" era) such as William Blake, Rudolf Steiner, Dion Fortune, and Gareth Knight - who seem in important ways to have benefitted from their contact with the spirit realms. These I like, respect and admire. 

Nonetheless, we cannot assume that any of these people are themselves a model for other people differently constituted, and belonging to later generations, whose consciousness is different. Nor (whatever they may have claimed) can we assume that such past-exemplars were able to describe a general model by which other people can (or should) attain a positive relation with the spirit world. 

In particular; I am increasingly convinced that past attempts (and maybe successes) in positively affecting human society (e.g. nations, or relations between nations) are not possible here-and-now - due to the change in human consciousness. 

Those same changes that have made spontaneous spirit awareness so rare, have also enhanced the potential human spiritual autonomy and individual agency. Past human consciousness was social, pooled, in ways that is no longer the case. 

Our situation is different. What was effective and good then, is often feeble and harmful now.  

As so often nowadays, external influences are overwhelmingly likely to be bad; so we need to (and should) rely on our personal judgment and take spiritual responsibility for our choices. 

My own notions are as follows:

We should be aware that there is a spirit world of Beings, that it is real and important. 

And, on general principles in this era, we should strive to become aware of whatever is real; so, in some fashion, it is good to become conscious of the spirit world as it is affecting us "here-and-now"; and where possible be prepared to act on the implications of that effect. 

(Maybe avoiding situations in which the spirit world is exerting a malign influence - or continuing a life-path that seems to be sustained by that which is good in the spirit world.)  

What about developing personal relationships with specific spirit Beings? 

Well; many spirit Beings are benign; and some of these are likely to have a positive and personal interest in ourselves. 

For instance, there may be deceased and resurrected relatives or close friends whom we loved, or willing "spiritual mentors".  And such Beings may be in spiritual-proximity ("near") to us in the spirit world, and maybe be actively-desirous of aiding us in particular ways. 

My best guess is that such potential relationships with spirit Beings, are good and perhaps necessary. 

How to develop such relationships, while avoiding deceptions and temptations, and shallow or wishful thinking; is, in principle, a problem not different from the same question about our social relations among human beings in the physical realm. 

We cannot plan a good human-social life in the physical world - and rules or blueprints for good relationships are a misguided or malign attempt to subordinate the personal soul to inhuman materialistic-bureaucratic thought processes. Same for the spirit world. 

What is needed is realistic assumptions about the nature and purpose of life, then a secure rooting in personal intuition and responsibility - with a willingness to recognize and repent our errors.

Since, as Christians; we know that we inhabit a divine creation within-which we have a personal destiny; and that we are God's children capable of valid judgment, and that the guidance of the Holy Ghost is always available when required...

Knowing all this, and if our attitudes can also be grounded in such knowledge; there is every reason to suppose that we will be able to navigate the spirit realm in such a way as will benefit us spiritually - now and in the context of eternity.
