Butler was one of our greatest patriots, a man of such integrity he seems like a mythical creature in today’s age.

We were taught about his military exploits as young Marines but, not surprisingly , his political views were never mentioned.

Thank you Gen. Butler, wherever you are, for your bravery, courage, leadership and integrity!

I believe that the author saw something

- a small organized minority

The ponerology stack speaks about the existence of a 6% fringe of people hiding in society and who have different goals than the ones of normal people

Their basic activities is the infiltration of normal people's associations, through a specific covert process called "pathocracy"

And so, here, the author speaks of war, and expands on several aspects that could be tied to different associations, too. The common variables would be "huge groups of normal people" getting hijacked from the inside for the benefit of a small minority

Very interesting!

Gosh I knew I saw that name, unbekoming, lately^^^

Sorry then

I appreciated the article yielded by H Koehli about your podcast (I don't listen to podcasts), and went back to it very recently because it has many precise ideas. I found it very enlightening, so thank you for it!

Great topic! And so this explains how come you deal with the war & its economical aspect with such a precision. I did not read the whole article but will.

Quite a piece of work thank you for the analysis and recommendations. There is an issue in a similar vein with the pharma industry. It has gone hand-in-hand with armaments. Similar huge profits were made and are still being made with COVID vaccines and all the stupid masks, test kits, screens, signs etc.

Excellent book everyone should take the time to read. Then sit and think/look at the conflicts since General Butler's day. Each has an economic reason for it's starting and sustainability and the military are the pawns.

It is evident that the whole "Covid" fiasco revealed the operant conditioning of the mass formation of populations so beaten down into Stockholm syndrome, they no longer retain the ability for individual assessment and thoughts. Like the Ashe experiment and the Sanford Experiment had demonstrated that illusion of safety in numbers was another Status quo victory over the unwashed and uneducated. Even five years after, I still see people wearing mask and the fear in their eyes of a drilled in mistrust of strangers (which we all suffer from now thanks to government unaccountability). When in your face enemies gaslight you into believing that they are not there to harm you, when all evidence would imply that is their intentions, and lawful self defense is spun into becoming "combative" or "extremist" by those same gaslighters and the flipping the script where those who are actually committing acts of aggression are lionized and those dissenting opinions are canceled because one hired mob can always shout down any individual who doesn't want to be robbed and brutalized by said mob (America's conventional institutions).

If the two rules of a free society were 1. Mind your own business, and 2 Keep your hands to yourself. then the obsolescence of governments and their ruling classes would become evident for all people to see.

No. Nuke's are a racket. NASA is a racket... The entire system is an insurance protection racket. - Nikola Tesla, Insurance Magazine 1897. Other not well known about the boat. It was wirelessly powered using the Tethers atop the boat in an electric charged room; much like bumper cars at Disneyland. Therefore the boat could "follow a storm" or be "controlled by various means"; not exclusive to remote control, logic gates and Multi-plexing for secure communications. This Invention Tesla says "would make junk of large ships". In a 1897 Insurance Magazine, Tesla told the reporter that you would have to "have Insurance on everything" due to the destructive capability of this weapon.

A Military Man speaking truth. Not very many of those.

Remember General Patton's post-war comments and his "friendly-fire" death (by an "accident" involving his own convoy) just before he could return home and start talking. And closer to the boots-on-the-ground level, remember Pat Tilman, another suspicious "friendly-fire" tragedy.

Mr. Tillman will forever be a poster boy for the crime that is the Military.

In this world, it seems, you can be a sheep or a wolf, but if you're neither there's no place for you.

A commenter here asked:

I think the only solution, in principle, is wide reach combined with true anonymity. Without anonymity, the powers that be can easily destroy the voice long before it can reach enough people to make any difference.

One or more people with excellent communication skills and the ability to see the deep truths of this world needs to be able to speak widely enough before being destroyed. To the best of my knowledge of past history and current tech, this is no longer possible. In those cases where it seems like it's happening, it's much more likely that it's front groups backed by the bad guys -- whether as honeypots or as false hope machines or patriot pacification, or misleading us into useless actions, or to get some of us to take actions that make us look bad or dangerous, etc.

Best we can do, it would seem, is try to make honest friends and live as long as possible before the world really dives into sh*t.
