Gaslighting The All American Pastime

 

Gaslighting, The All American Pastime

Junious Ricardo Stanton




Several years ago the word gaslighting was added to the American popular lexicon. Gaslighting is defined as: psychological control and abuse, manipulating someone into questioning their own perception of reality, deception of one's memory, perception of reality, or mental stability. It derives from a 1944 motion picture titled Gaslight whereby an unfaithful husband attempts to psychologically manipulate his wife into thinking she’s crazy, that what she suspects and knows are not true. The term became popular in the first decade of the twenty-first century and was word of the year in 2022.

Currently the word is used as both a noun and verb. Sample synonyms for gaslighting are: crazy-making, mind games, head games, deceiving, hoodwinking, tricking, bamboozling, scamming and many others. In the US today gaslighting is a national pastime which is why the word has gained so much use and popularity. Gaslighting is ingrained in the country’s ethos, the psychological and behavior patterns of this nation. All too often we are actively gaslit by our friends, our lovers, our family and on collective and societal levels by the media, the government both visible and shadow, corporations and the elites who weld power and influence over us.

Often while we are being gaslit, we intuitively know something is wrong, something is amiss we have a gut feeling our experiences, our memories and worldview are being tested and stressed. Actually we are being gaslit, psychologically manipulated, lied to and duped all day all the time all year long. Often while we are being gaslit our minds actively resist and we are able to tap into an inner resolve using our experiences or our sense that something is amiss to give us the strength to persevere, not succumb to the lies, tricks and manipulation. During times like those we are resolute and we refuse to fall for the okey-doke.

But at other times fear, self-doubt and the effectiveness of the gaslighters’ disingenuousness and cunning overcomes our inclination towards self-confidence and truth. Our adversaries are not only ruthlessly knavish and conniving, they own and have omnipresent access to powerful technologies such as print media, social media and the legacy media that repeat their message over and over twenty-four hours a day on countless platforms. These miscreants are able to embed their subliminal and overt messages in everything: print and electronic media as well as our SMART devices.

SMART is an acronym it stands for Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, This is twenty four hour three sixty five surveillance, tracking and data harvesting. These devices can create an alternative narrative or reality and because we are in an uncritical state when we use these devices the messages sink in and impact not only our thoughts but our actions, responses and behaviors as well.

On a far more insidious level the government uses its enforcement power to coerce us in collusion with the corporations to do what they want us to do, to acquiesce to their policies and programs. For the past four years we’ve been living in this type of dystopian hellscape whereby the powers that shouldn’t be imposed cockeyed mandates, such as social isolation and quarantine of healthy people, mandatory distancing, nation wide lock-downs that arbitrarily shuttered businesses, ruined careers, imposed economic hardship on countless people and so disrupted our normal patterns and pace of living massive social, emotional and psychological breakdowns have occurred! These breakdowns and trauma if unresolved with remain with us adversely impacting us for years, generations even!

The good news is breakthroughs are happening. The so called COVID remediation policies are being exposed as a massive gaslighting campaign; whereby all Big Pharma propaganda, selected scientists and mathematicians’ unverified far fetched projections and billionaire elites’ narratives about a bogus “novel coronavirus” that were foisted upon us twenty-four seven three sixty-five for four years straight are now being openly challenged and repudiated. Where before legitimate treatment options and previously used pandemic remediation modalities were suppressed, censored and forbidden, they are now being vendicated.

Any skepticism or honest inquiries, questioning or critique of the “official narratives” were demonized, people were threatened with loss of their licenses, jobs, the destruction of their reputations and the government used its enforcement powers to frighten and mandate people into taking untested, toxic injections that now have been proven to be dangerously toxic and deadly. The tide is turning, the gaslighting is being rejected.

More peer reviewed studies are coming out in countries around the world exposing the deadliness of these injections. There are studies from Italy and Germany showing the COVID shots are directly related to the surge in all cause deaths, that the COVID “vaccines” had no beneficial effects and they have increased the mortality rate. You can find these reports at www.childrenshealthdefense.org and www.armstronceconomic.com.

The tide is turning but we must resist the ubiquitous gaslighting not just about COVID but everything: the economy, the wars, the environment, everything! We combat gaslighting by trusting ourselves, having faith in our intuition, having confidence seeing our experiences as teachers, lessons and guides to living, doing research to reinforce and buttress our reality while being open to new ideas. Never let anyone negate your experiences good or bad.

Gaslighting is ubiquitous but we can resist and overcome this insidious practice.

Something's Fishy

                                                           Something’s Fishy

                                                        Junious Ricardo Stanton

                                                Associated Press Photo by Gene J. Puskar


On Saturday evening July 13 , 2024 at 6:131 PM a shooter who gained access to a rooftop with a direct line of sight to the podium about a hundred fifty yards from where Presidential candidate Donald Trump was about to speak at a campaign rally in Butler Pennsylvania fired off several rounds from a rifle. Trump was hit on the tip of his right ear. Several civilians were injured one died and the shooter was killed or to use a CIA term “neutralized” by the Secret Service Counter Assassination Team. All the facts are not out yet but from what I saw of the footage, something doesn’t pass the smell test, something is fishy here.

The media is replaying parts of the event over and over again especially the part where Trump grabs his ear and drops to the floor. Looking at the footage I have numerous questions about the effectiveness of the security that day. First off why weren’t SS agents closer to Trump? After the shots Trump grabs his ear and drops to the floor Secret Service agents are seen running onto the podium, several surround him, shield him with their bodies, stand him upright and lead him off the stage to a waiting vehicle. Why weren’t agents closer in proximity to the candidate? Why weren’t they at least positioned on the stage? How many Secret Service agents were detailed for that event? How many Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement assets were assigned to cover the event and the area and how many hours of pre-event planning and coordination were done? Were unmanned aerial vehicles aka drones employed by security to have an eye on the whole area? If not why not? Where there helicopters deployed?

More importantly how was a man with a rapid fire rifle who was seen by attendees even allowed access to a rooftop near where Trump would be speaking? There are reports several bystanders warned the Secret Service agents but they took no immediate action, what’s up with that? How did something like that happen? One other attendee was killed, where was that person in relation to Trump? The attendees who were injured, where were they stationed and in what sequence were they shot?

There is so much footage of Trump being shot is being shown over and over, was there any footage of the shooter after he was “neutralized”? What happened to his body, where is it? The media people interviewed several bystanders and attendees how come no law enforcement people were present to give accounts of what took place and a time line of events?

Again it is early in the process but from my perspective I do not think best security practices were employed at that rally especially given the hostility and divisiveness of the campaigns and the hostile climate in this country today! There have been numerous verbal attacks on Trump and the campaign rhetoric from both sides has been vitriolic, nasty and mean. All of this is contributing to the acrimony incivility and discord which was already extremely intense.

The political climate in this country is so partisan and negatively charged that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr was denied Secret Service protection for his campaign. That was an unprecedented move especially since violence is so ubiquitous in this country. This is all the more reason I feel something is fishy with the Trump shooting. This says a great deal about who we are as a nation and a people. Which way will the nation go now? How will this impact the campaign process? Time will tell.

S.M.A.R.T. = Post Humanism

 

                                                     S.M.A.R.T. = Post Humanism

                                                          Junious Ricardo Stanton


Our culture is inundated with the concept of S.M.A.R.T. technology but few of us actually know what it means. We’re not fully aware of its growing impact on our lives and what it portends for the future of humanity. We have SMART phones, SMART TV’s, SMART refrigerators, SMART watches etc. and soon we will have SMART cities. But what is S.M.A.R.T. technology anyway? SMART is an acronym it stands for Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting technology. It is technology that has the capability of 24/7 real time surveillance, tracking and data harvesting using 5G and soon 6G technology. The very name indicates what it is up to; internal monitoring (surveillance), analysis aka data collection, filtering, and reporting (to whom?) on an ongoing basis. SMART technology is Big Brother on steroids. It is ubiquitous, it is Trojan Horse technology we uncritically bring into our personal spaces; it monitors and spies on us constantly. The government and globalist technocrats are planning to use advanced technology to make it impossible to go off grid, slip or avoid the spy networks.

You say, so what, I don’t have anything to hide why should surveillance frighten or bother me? What do I care what they are doing or why they are doing it? First of all they are using the data they gather on us in real time to create fluid profiles of us so they can sell us stuff we don’t need but more importantly to manipulate us and this is just the beginning, the tip of the iceberg. To the globalist misanthropes we are mere commodities, consumers, purchasing units to be manipulated, exploited and kicked to the curb. Ultimately they want to change us into soulless automatons and cyborgs.

Their New World Order will not be like the present or the past. Work will be done by AI and robots. Artificial Intelligence is becoming more and more ubiquitous. In the near future many current jobs will no longer exist or be available for humans. What do they do with those of us they frequently refer to as “useless eaters”? They will need some way to control us by stifling or taking away our desire for sufficiency, life purpose and creativity and redirecting that energy elsewhere. They are doing this now with Social Media. We are fixated on it, addicted to it, it controls our time use and dictates our values and worldview. Social media even creates our “reality”.

Soon SMART technology will become more invasive, rapidly moving into the embedding of chips, and other forms of technology they call human enhancement or Bio-Nano technology into our bodies; if we allow it. What is Bio-Nano technology? It is defined as biotechnological interface (merging, melding) biomolocules and nano materials sharing information and controlling the basic structure and function of complex biological systems (like our bodies).

It is part of the roiling out of the Internet of Things, the Fourth Industrial Revolution that globalists like Klaus Schwab brag about. SMART technology not only uses 5G to collect, harvest and communicate to the powers that shouldn’t be; it also uses advanced artificial intelligence that in the near future will collect harvest and infuse the data and input it into machines the technocrats are developing which will cross the human-machine barrier moving into what futurist social engineers like Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari , Elon Musk and Ray Kurzweil call Post-humanism.

They plan to usher in Universal Basic Income a payment system where everyone gets a card and an account and you can only access your money as long as you comply with the rules and norms the global elites hand down to us. If you don’t you will be cut off from access and designated a potential threat! If you go off the reservation you will become persona non grata, be tracked, hunted down and at first subject to re-education and reprogramming and harsher forms of punishment if that doesn’t work.

I don’t know about you but to me anything calling itself post-human means something beyond or after what it currently means to be human. These Frankensteins are determined to alter the existing natural order. They admit it is another step in their ongoing program towards transhumanism; their goal is to redesign and re-engineer human biology and nature itself using advanced technology directed by their warped Luciferian consciousness on a massive global scale.

When you read their literature, watch to their Ted Talks, see their interviews and conferences they all talk about making themselves immortal and godlike. They talk about altering the planet and the social order to achieve some pie in the sky, egalitarianism where they and their acolytes (human, AI and cyborg), administer and control everything by killing off most of us through wars, pandemics, vaccines, engineered famines and transforming the remaining population into cyborgs, designer human beings (designed and programmed by them) what they call augmented human beings. They are not shy about it at all. They openly brag about this new social order.

Just like they want to turn humans into bionic beings they want to alter the natural landscape by controlling land use and transform the earth using GMO’s, ecocide and technology! This is not hyperbole or science fiction, this goes far beyond the predictive programming in films like The Matrix where the heroes are linked and hooked up to computers (machines) which allow them to fight the AI enemies controlling the planet; or the film They Live where humans are programmed and manipulated to comply with the aliens’ agenda. This is far more nefarious because it is real.

The megalomaniacs planning this hellscape are the heirs and descendants of the very people who devised and imposed this predatory and ruthlessly exploitative hierarchy upon the West and subsequently the world. Now they want to reconfigure the planet so there is not a shred of opposition to their hubris and psychopathy. They want to create a New World Order in their perverse image and mindset. They want to be the new gods of earth ruling over a new species of beings on a transfigured planet.

If they were really so altruistic they’d just give up all their money and resources and redistribute them to the masses, they’d relinquish their hold on the reigns of global power, allow humanity to guide and govern ourselves allow us to introduce more humane ways of doing things. But they won’t because this is not what they are about. These misanthropes are about total global domination and control. They have a humongous god complex that demands they create this New World Order in their own twisted image and likeness. Their noble sounding rhetoric aside, their New World Order will be hell on earth for most of us.

What Is The Significance of the Fourth of July in 2024?

 

                                          What Is The Significance of Fourth of July 2024

                                                             Junious Ricardo Stanton


In 1852 an escaped slave, orator, abolitionist and newspaper publisher named Frederick Douglas was asked by the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society from Rochester New York where he was residing at that time, to give a speech to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of this nation. The event was to held at Corinthian Hall in Rochester New York. Douglas agreed but his speech excoriated America for its hypocrisy, mendacity and barbarism regrading it’s peculiar institution of slavery towards its victims languishing in brutal chattel servitude. His speech was entitled What to The Slave is the Fourth of July?

Here we are one hundred and seventy-two years later yet Douglas’ speech could easily be revised and entitled What to the American Masses Is The Fourth of July? In 2024 the American middle and lower classes find themselves in a tenuous predicament. We no longer have the vaunted liberties, privileges and noble sounding national creed Douglas noted in the beginning of his speech; liberties and privileges he later exposed as a complete sham when it came to his enslaved people.

Today most of us while not languishing in brutal servitude, owned by other human beings or corporations we still are not free. Many of the guarantees in the Bill of Rights are or have been whittled away, others are in the process of being relegated to a deep memory hole of a by gone era. SO what is the significance of the Fourth of July in 2024?

What to a homeless person or family is the Fourth of July? While many are celebrating, bar-b ques, cooking out and vacationing, millions of Americans are homeless without shelter wallowing in squalid conditions, trying to survive and provide for themselves and their families. While they are suffering the indignities of poverty, displacement, marginalization and being ignored we have a government that is increasingly less receptive and responsive to their needs and desires. These so called public servants’ top priority are pleasing the monied interests, keeping fat cat lobbyists and the oligarchs who ply them with millions in bribes aka campaign contributions happy. Homeless people and most of us could never muster, amass the amounts of money the oligarch give them.

What to a struggling family is the Fourth of July when the cost of living is skyrocketing exponentially and they have to make crucial decisions about how they are going to juggle their meager funds to pay their bills, put food on the table, pay the mortgage, rent or car payment and still have enough money for a few simple pleasures? What to the people living paycheck to paycheck, who are dipping into their retirement and saving funds to survive is the Fourth of July?

What to people who just want to be left alone is a day celebrating freedom from government intrusion, harassment and abuse when the corporations and government are in increasingly colluding to monitor and spy on us twenty-four seven, three sixty-five, as they harvest our DNA at will, track, record and collect data on our comings and goings around the clock? Is this real freedom?

What to a populous that wants peace is a Fourth of July celebration when the American government is spending trillions of tax payer dollars, money the government does not have to fund wars that are killing innocent civilians, babies, men, women, children, to prop up a corrupt government that US meddling and intrigue helped create in 2014, that many US government officials are profiteering off of the war and the endemic corruption there. What to a pacifist is the US Fourth of July celebration while the government is supporting an apartheid state actively engaged in genocide and fomenting war against its neighbors? What to a young person is the Fourth of July now that he or she is subject to conscription to be sent off to fight these wars for a government that see them as mere cannon fodder?

What to a seeker f truth is the Fourth of July celebrations that ignores or suppresses the real history of this country, the human trafficking for enslavement purposes, the ongoing wars, undeclared military and “police” actions from 1776 to present totaling 93 per cent, two hundred and twenty-two out of two hundred and forty-eight years of its total existence?!

What to a sane person is the Fourth of July who must sift through the massive amount of lies, propaganda and gaslighting in the legacy media and social media platforms just to get some sense of what is actually going on in the world?

What to a person concerned about the direction and future of this nation is the Fourth of July in 20204 when we see the deplorable choice of candidates for the highest office in the land, the out and out foolishness of the political campaigns and the prospects of things turning around for the better not happening any time soon.

In short other than a day off, what to most Americans is the Fourth of July?

The Empire Is In Deep Trouble

 

                                                          The Empire Is In Deep Trouble

                                                                 Junious Ricardo Stanton


I watched the Presidential “debate” last night, it was bad. America is in trouble. The world is either in total shock or laughing their behinds off at the display of feeble-mindedness and narcissism on all the major networks and global media.

Whew, it was bad. At several points I couldn’t help from laughing at others I felt sorry for this country even though I know we are witnessing Karma playing itself out here. The whole “debate” hype was nothing more than gaslighting and political and media theatrics, it was all sizzle, no substance.

I was watching a baseball game but turned it off to check out the “debate”. When I turned back the home team was losing and it was going into the ninth inning so I turned back to the debacle. I originally decided I wasn’t going to watch it but I changed my mind. I decided to take a peek just to see how the two men would conduct themselves and how the so called moderators would control the proceedings. We’d heard so much pre-event yakety-yak about strict adherence to the agreed upon rules, how microphones would be cut off so the candidates couldn’t go over their time limit or be able to talk over one another. This was supposedly so the “debate” wouldn’t devolve into soliloquies or personal attacks. Well so much for the rules.

First off Donald Trump never directly answered a question, not one. He went on immediate attack criticizing Biden the whole time. Even when the moderators came aback and asked him the question again he only directly answered at best one or two of their questions during the whole time! He rattled off declarations that were not fact checked and the moderators did not hold him to a standard of veracity so the whole affair was a charade. It was bad.

Joe Biden was never in the game, Trump seemed to catch him off guard early with his bombastic claims about how great he and his administration were and how pitiful Biden’s is. Biden never recovered. In fact for about a full third of the time Biden liked like a deer in the headlights, dazed, confused and his responses were what some would call sentence salad which is akin to oratorical dyslexia where the speaker’s words are jumbled or uttered in such a way they don’t make any sense. When Biden had a grasp of what he wanted to say which wasn’t often, his words never came out with conviction or authority other than the times he called Trump a liar. It was so bad that when Dana Bash asked Biden a question and he went blank or started sentence salading she either changed the subject, or turned to Trump which in effect saved Biden by the bell! Is was bad.

It was painful to watch, it was not America’s finest hour politically. The American Empire is in rapid, steep and steady decline, that so called “debate” is just another symptom of the Empire’s implosion. Not only weren’t the two major political parties’ candidates up to snuff intellectually, neither one able to discuss the issues of the hour, demonstrate their familiarity with the issues or offer solid solutions to the pressing problems this nation is facing. Not only that, they weren’t even mature enough to conduct themselves with the decorum fitting for the occasion.

Personal attacks were the order of the day. Trump jumped on Biden early and often and Biden never was able to use verbal Ju-Jitsu to make Trump look silly or incompetent. Neither candidate appeared “presidential”. Neither man’s body language exuded confidence or a sense he had the situation under control. Neither man could be called a deep thinker on that stage. Even the post “debate” commentary admitted Biden did not do well which is an understatement.

Both men resorted to childish verbal attacks on their opponent and Trump appeared to get thoroughly under Biden’s skin. Biden seemed frustrated by his own lack of mental acuity which prevented him from responding to Trump or even answering the moderators questions effectively. It was bad. It was apparent Biden was not having a good day and things never got better for him as the event went on despite what the Democratic spinmeisters said following the debacle.

Biden did not perform well but the real loser in that debacle wass the American people. That sham went out around the world and now people judge us based upon what they saw last night. It was not good. The world must be befuddled. They are asking themselves and each other, how is it possible the United States only has these two as major candidates for the highest office in the land?! Surely there must be others more adroit, articulate and knowledgeable people out there who could better represent the American people. Why wasn’t Robert Kennedy Jr allowed to participate; at least he would have presented alternative viewpoints and positions and added deeper analysis insights and solutions than these two did.

This was the earliest debate in history. The political parties have not even had their conventions or formally selected their standard bearers for the 2024 presidential election yet! Does this mean that Joe Biden and Donald Trump are the set in stone candidates for 2024? If so this puts the American people in a major conundrum, a fix of unfathomable proportions. Who do we vote for if you think the system is salvageable? Are there viable alternatives other to these two? Don’t you think we deserve better? Or is this country so far gone this is all we can get?

It’s not that the other world leaders are great statesmen and women themselves, its just that we rarely see that type of debauchery on display in other nation’s political campaigns. This is bad.

Sadly I do not think this will get better, that Joe Biden will bounce back or Donald Trump will offer serious solutions to the pressing issues facing the world today. I’m reminded of the Roman Empire during its rapid decline, it suffered a series of corrupt leaders who were unable to alter the downward trajectory of the empire until it eventually collapsed of its own corruption, decadence and hubris. Even Donald Trump kept saying the country is in bad shape. Based upon what I saw last night, he is correct.

The West Is Trotting Towards War

 

The West Is Trotting Towards War

Junious Ricardo Stanton



Several weeks ago I wrote a commentary entitled Sleepwalking Into More War which provided insights into the West’s maniacal support for the wars raging in Gaza and Ukraine. As time passed the sleepwalk is becoming a trot. Our misleadership class is accelerating the expansion of existing conflicts and opening new theaters of engagement potentially against China.

Wars unlike bar fights just don’t happen spontaneously. There is a progression, there are stages beginning with the belief war and conflict are acceptable means of resolving issues or getting what one wants. This is the mindset of the West. Since the fifteenth century the West has engaged in wholesale wanton plunder, rapine and expropriation justified by noble sounding verbiage like: spreading Christianity to the heathens, civilizing the savages, bringing freedom democracy and enlightenment to the world and similar lies.

The European movers and shakers provided emotional and material incentives and inducements to their cannon fodder to make them march or sail off towards whatever conflict, invasion or prize they coveted. Tribal and ethnic pride, religious fervor, claims of doing god’s work saving the world, making it safe for democracy or rallying the yahoos to avenge some slight or to retaliate against an attack on them were some of the tactics they used. And in many cases, the leaders pulled off a cunning false flag operation to jump start hostilities. At any rate war was already a top priority they just needed to provide a pretext and rationale to get the party started.

We are seeing the same things in Ukraine and Palestine. The US fomented a coup d’etat in Ukraine in 2014 which ultimately led to the rise of a Jewish comedian named Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the position of president five years later. Zelensky was supported by the US and Azov Battalion, Neo Nazis who were actively bombing Donetsk and Donbas regions for years because the residents there wanted to reunite with Russia who they were culturally and ethnically related to.

Ukraine was universally recognized as a corrupt nation and the Biden crime family had their grubby hands deep in the corruption. When Russia intervened at the behest of the Donbas citizens the West went ballistic. Crimea had already overwhelmingly voted to rejoin the Russian Federation but the West spun it as a forced or coerced annexation.

This was part of their ongoing Putin/Russia demonizing campaign. The US/NATO axis of insanity was pissed that Putin derailed their attempts to topple the Syrian government and do to that nation what they did to Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.

In addition to imposing sanctions on Putin and Russia, which are deliberate acts of war, the Axis of Insanity set out to militarily buttress Ukraine’s clown president. But this has failed, Ukraine is loosing the war, so now the West has given the green light to their clown Zelenskyy to use Western weapons to directly attack Russian territory. The West is selling weapons, providing tactical support and “advisors” in this wasted war effort. Now Germany, Britain and the US have recently moved towards implementing universal conscription or national service programs meaning military drafts! The sleepwalk is escalating to a trot.

In Palestine Benjamin Netanyahu cavalierly and dismissively crossed Biden’s red line blatantly defying him and bum rushing Rafah, effectively thumbing his nose at Biden making him look like a punk! In addition Israel has stepped up its cross border clashes in Southern Lebanon and its tit for tat attacks on Iran. Meanwhile no one, not the UN, not the Pope, not the G7 have moved to check the Israelis on their aggression and warmongering.

The sleepwalk is turning into a trot. The pace is quickening towards more direct engagement and confrontation between the West and Russia. Yet the corporate media vigorously supports it all and spins it as: defending democracy, fighting Russia aggression and justified Israel defense rather than what it really is: war profiteering, corporate greed, immorality, genocide and ethnic cleansing.

We have seen the willingness of the US government to pour money into the Military Industrial Technology Security State sinkhole and this trend is not going to subside any time soon. In fact it will increase along with preparations for conscription, logistics, war gamesmanship and saber rattling. Look at all the joint military exercises the US/NATO axis and the Russians and Chinese are conducting. This is the equivalent of two dogs growling, barking and baring their teeth at each other before they actually start fighting. Sometimes the bluff works sometimes they end up fighting.

The misleadership in both US political parties are hellbent on war, they don’t even mention the word peace, and by Golly they are going to have their wars somewhere. Sadly unless there is a major repentance the trot will break out into a full sprint towards full blown war. We have to wake up and stop pretending not to know what is going on!

Are False Beliefs Setting Us Up For Destruction?

 

                                             Are False Beliefs Setting US Up For Destruction?

                                                                 Junious Ricardo Stanton


As we look around the world today we discover challenges to our reality, our belief systems and the values we profess to hold dear. America says it stands for freedom, justice, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness but as a global hegemon the US is directly responsible for massive human exploitation, suffering, privation, misery and death! These are the direct consequences of the American Empire’s greed, callousness and immorality. This hubris is pervasive yet because of ubiquitous mind control and brainwashing most Americans are not even aware this country is an imperialist giant. Most are oblivious to the fact America has a global network of military bases and spends more than several nations combined to maintain them. Somnambulant Americans think the almost eight hundred known foreign military and drone bases and many more top secret installations in seventy plus nations exist to protect freedom and democracy!

In addition to their military overreach the US is actively engaged in numerous proxy wars using intermediaries and entities like NATO they fund and equip to do their dirty work in places like Ukraine and Yemen. Ukraine is becoming a humongous sinkhole for US war profiteering and kickbacks in support of a corrupt Ukrainian government that is a boon for the US military industrial technology hydra. Their goal aside from making huge profits is to undermine Russia and bring that nation to heel. Recent decisions to allow Ukraine to escalate direct attacks on Russian soil using Western weaponry are not only idiotic they will have horrific consequences.

On the other hand the US misleadership finds itself in a conundrum due to its total support of an obvious ethnic cleansing campaign by Israel against the Palestinians, the real Semites of the region. The optics of this carnage belie Israel’s claim they are fighting a defensive war in an effort to secure release of Israeli hostages taken in the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack; an attack which appears was allowed to happen by Israeli security forces so Israel could commence ethnic cleansing against the people of Gaza.

The US claims Israel is our only ally in the region, an ally who shares this nation’s democratic values. But is this really true? The reality is the United States is an oligarchy ruled by an elite group not ordinary citizens who represent and exercise the will of the people. A Princeton and Northwestern Universities study by Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page concluded the US is ruled by influential elites and special interest groups who set the agenda and policies for the government.

Election campaigns whose costs prohibit the average person from running for state, national and even some local public offices makes a mockery of the claim this is a government of the people by the people or for the people. Special interests, big money and the oligarchs actually control this country and set its policies. The executive, legislative and even judicial branches and their regulatory agencies have been captured, are beholden to and taken hostage by big money interests. Elections and voting merely provide the illusion we have a say in the governance process.

For example most rational people would opt to spend their hard earned tax dollars here at home rather than pouring trillions to prop up corrupt and genocidal governments that provide no benefit to us whatsoever while enriching defense contractors and warmongers to the detriment of humanity!

Israel is an apartheid state, none of the Ashkenazim who occupy the territory and rule the country are Semites. They are converts to Judaism who have marginalized other Jews who have a longer claim to the religion than they do. They are not the true descendants of the ancient Hebrew Israelites and Judeans.

Historically ancient Israel was never a powerful or significant entity in the region, it was always in the shadows of larger more powerful nations and empires like the Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians and Babylonians.

Evangelical Christians support Israel even though the Jews reject their Messiah because they believe the Ashkenazim are the Israelites of the Bible and they are Yahweh’s chosen people; who in some convoluted way through war, tribulation and upheaval will usher the return to earth of Christ! So they uncritically support the modern genocide in Palestine just like they go along with the Biblical stories of the Hebrew’s genocide and ethnic cleansing to expropriate the “Promised Land” from the indigenous peoples. They never question the narrative or ask why a supposedly all knowing, just god would order “his people” to do such a thing?

Meanwhile simultaneously the US is provoking China over Taiwan and the South China Sea island disputes among China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. This is insane, nevertheless the misanthropes who run this nation seem hellbent on provoking a major war somewhere on this planet. Their hubris and psychopathy will be their ruin.

Our false beliefs are taking us down a slippery slope which could lead to a real Armageddon “end times” scenario. Unless saner heads prevail and this appears unlikely, the US and its acolytes will find themselves eyeball deep in multiple wars they cannot possibly win. Why is it no one sees this coming?
