Information Overload: Astrology Forecast May 25-31, 2020

May 25th, 2020

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

Friday’s Gemini New Moon has just opened an 8 week eclipse tunnel from May 22 to the Cancer New Moon on July 20th. Starting next week on June 5th, there are not 2 but 3 wild card eclipses one after the other. When you emerge later in the summer, you’ll see how these sideways escalators – time/space shifts – have changed everything yet again, giving you an entirely new perspective on the virus and its outcomes.

There are now 6 planets/points in Air sign Gemini – Sun, Venus, Vesta, Node of Fate, Mercury- literally bringing a welcome breath of fresh air from the heavy Earth energy. It’s time to start extracting the learning from our recent passage through global events in Aries and Taurus. This is going to take until Autumn to process -there’s a huge difference between information -knowing something- and wisdom when information has been synthesized into your evolving inner map.

Gemini’s ruler Mercury is at his Tricksterish best/worst in his own sign this week in contact with unpredictable Uranus, slippery Neptune, Mars, the Galactic Centre, Vesta and the Node of Fate- the  volatile eclipse degree of the approaching June 21st Solar Eclipse. On Thursday 28 May, the Messenger crosses the world axis into Cancer.

Expect more incoming data than ever before- a veritable Tower of Babel of crossed wires, misinformation, fake news along with new information/decisions from governments contradicting themselves.

In your own life, this is not about trying to make sense of anything – how could you when ,with all the retrograde planets and  incoming multiple eclipses ,the ground is going to be pulled out from under your feet? This is about becoming even more skillful and adept at Inside/Out Thinking -understanding that your mind is not a camera but a projector with all the implications that brings.

The Chandra Symbol for Mercury conjunct Node of Fate Cancer 0:

A Potter at Work.

“You need to be prepared for spirit to do its great work here. And all the steps and stages, all the learning and growth are already part of a guided dance, instrumentally choreographed by those who know. This energy wants a return to what is natural, a restoring of ancient timeless ways. It seeks to manifest a remembrance and a re-dedication. There is this cosmic beholding power, a witnessing intelligence. The guidance is to join forces with the whole of humanity. Then what wants to come through will be popular, obvious, clear, the next place to go.”

Aries Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

There are currently 5 planets and points in Gemini lighting up your angle of communication like downtown Broadway. Remember, if you combine your own Fire sign together with Air, you create combustion. Then June 5th’s eclipse across this part of your chart will kick off a year when life speeds up rapidly and you’re busy wheeling and dealing, negotiating, making contracts. What interests you is going to change quite noticeably as you decide to study or investigate something intriguing outside your comfort zone. Your mind is going to be buzzing with ideas about life switches in the aftermath of the virus, especially where travel is concerned. You may trade expensive holidays for exploring your own region or city.

Buzzing.

Taurus Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

All the Gemini activity is going to make you really think about what and who you value the most. This gathering of planets is lighting up your 2nd House of resources and money and when the first eclipse across this part of your life arrives on June 5th, your personal security will be changed in ways hard to imagine from here. Start now to be at cause, not effect, by looking at your income stream and coming up with some new ways of adding more. Factor in that your personal planet Venus will be retrograde until June 25th, so keep spending on non-essentials in check. Make your priority investing time, love and effort into only what you love most, into what really matters when the chips are down.

Do a resources audit.

Gemini Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

This week a going to give you a foretaste of the first eclipse across Gemini since 2002 arriving soon on June 5th. With 5 planets plus the Node of Fate in your sign, are you feeling the first stirrings of an inner revolution? Maybe just an increased restlessness or boredom with your comfort zone at first followed by wondering how/why you’ve painted yourself in a corner and stayed there. This planetary blast of fresh air is going to blow the cobwebs away and shine some light into the darker corners of negative self-belief. As Venus travels back through Gemini, bring a little more peace and beauty into your life. Ask yourself the Marie Kondo question: what sparks joy?

The end of an 18 year cycle.

Cancer Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

The planets are gathering in the deepest most hidden part of your chart, Cancer- a sign that it’s time to slow down the pace of your life, to restore and renew yourself and to refresh your hopes and dreams. Frame this a personal retreat, a time to journal your dreams, to notice what and who’s leaving your life, what is outworn and outgrown and what is summoning you on. Next week the first eclipse across this part of your chart will prove how important it is to take a step back and re-group. Your wellbeing is paramount and you’ve taken a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual battering in the last 18 months.

Quieten your mind so you can hear the wisdom of your unconscious.

Leo Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

The 11th House of your chart which represents your social life, your priorities and your values is forefront and centre stage now. With 5 planets clustered together here, this week is going to bring a preview of June 5th’s eclipse which activates your axis of expansion and creativity. People are your most valuable currency, whether work colleagues, friends, followers on social media, family or your tribes, they all matter more than ever. By “valuable”, I mean that they add to the sum of your happiness. So, take a look around to see who’s for you and who’s against you. Who do you need to build bridges with and who is it time to walk away from?

Do this now as the eclipse on June 5th will permanently change your people landscape.

Virgo Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

Frame events this week as a preview of what next week’s lunar eclipse across Sagittarius /Gemini might deliver. As a Virgo, this is one of those rare moments when five planets are shining brightly at the very pinnacle of your chart. Think of it as being on stage with the spotlight trained on you, making you ultra -visible. Translated, this means that everything you do will be noticed much more than usual. So, if you are cutting corners, not such good news but if you’ve been quietly doing due diligence, expect rewards or at the very least, recognition. And there could be a sprinkling of romantic fairy dust too as Venus aligns with seductive Neptune 3 times in your angle of long term partnerships.

Seize the day.

Libra Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

With Air as your Libran element, you need constant input to stimulate your thinking. Lucky you-this week there are 5 planets gathered in fellow Air sign Gemini downloading more data than even you know what to do with. It will be a veritable Tower of Babel-incoming new information from the government, later contradicted, fake news, misinformation all mixed in with some important insights. Be ready for a lunar eclipse in this same part of your chart on June 5th by slowing down to listen to the small persistent voice of your own guidance above the cacophony of noise for the outside. It’s time to think for yourself, throw out old limiting beliefs and make a deliberate effort to broaden your horizons.

Expanding your map of the world.

Scorpio Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

Both your home and your personal security are high on the planetary agenda. Of course, these are always inextricably tied together but it’s all too easy to go along in the same old way for years keeping things as they are, not noticing what ‘s outworn or outgrown or just not relevant any more. The gathering of 5 planets in your 8th House of money, assets and resources is in Air sign Gemini-you’re being nudged to get more innovative and up to date with how you manage your resources to reduce that nagging sense of insecurity. Are you missing out on savings or living in a place that doesn’t work for you? Are you in debt or undervaluing what you have to offer and under earning? Next week’s June 5th eclipse will change circumstances around you so that you have to think outside the box.

Whose rules are you living by?

Sagittarius Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

There is currently a gathering of 5 planets in your opposite sign of Gemini ,meaning that your most important relationships are going to be under the spotlight in some way. Luckily, beautiful Venus is spending until late June here, helping to smooth the path of true love. Gemini is always about new information so expect to hear or learn something now that puts everything into a new light. If you’re dealing with work colleagues virtually or at arm’s length at the moment, expect to have to be extra flexible and responsive, rather than reacting in the moment. Next week’s June 5th’s eclipse is going to fall right across your sign and so a changing of the guard is on the horizon.

This is a time when everything you do or say can make a difference.

Capricorn Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

Since March 21st, your ruling planet Task Master Saturn has been in Aquarius, your angle of income and resources. As this aligned in time with the pandemic lockdown, you’ve had to take account of factors beyond your control to try to stay on an even financial keel. The Master Teacher is heading back into Capricorn until December to start a 6 month phase of cleaning up old business and tying up loose ends. You’ve had peek into a new world of more progressive options and now you realise that you need to clear the decks so that you can update your systems and uplevel your service or business. Alongside that-and equally important-the gathering of 5 planets in Gemini is a reminder not to neglect your health and wellbeing .

Eclipses impact your energy field and the one on June 5th is right around the corner.

Aquarius Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

Since March 21st when Master Teacher Saturn returned to Aquarius for the first time since 1991,you’ve begun to realise that certain parts of yourself, habits that were seemingly crystallised or cast in stone, could change, deconstruct and liberate you from feeling stuck in a life that didn’t feel like it belonged to you. Just notice if you’ve stopped automatically resisting outside influences, releasing some of the inner stress that you’d come to believe was with you for life. Now that Saturn is retrograde, allow yourself to live along with your world as it reconfigures. Meanwhile, all the activity in compatible Air sign Gemini is nudging you to make everyday life more beautiful, more meaningful, more in sync with what you value the most. Turn wherever you live into a space that reflects who you are now – you need it as a mirror of your emerging self.

Coming home to yourself.

Pisces Weekly Forecast: May 24-31, 2020

In recent years, with so much focus on your career, your role in the world, you’ve felt somewhat exposed, highly visible and extremely accountable. The gift that it gave you was to install a solid sense of all the ways you add value to your community and your workplace, so that you no longer undervalue yourself. The current astrology is shifting the emphasis to your home and what it means to you- from your physical space to your sense of belonging. Questions arise such as: Is where I live where I want to be or just a stop gap measure? How can I make this place more comfortable and more suited to my lifestyle? What and who gives me real sense of belonging and how can I have/create more of it?

Are you putting down roots or transplanting yourself?

On the Magnetic Field

ESA’s SWARM investigates weakening of Earth’s magnetic field, possible split up of South Atlantic Anomaly

ESA's SWARM investigates weakening of Earth's magnetic field, possible split up of South Atlantic Anomaly

Over the past 200 years, Earth’s magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength. Meanwhile, a large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America — known as South Atlantic Anomaly. Over the past 5 years, however, a second center of minimum intensity has emerged southwest of Africa, suggesting that the South Atlantic Anomaly could split up into two separate cells.

Earth’s magnetic field is vital to life on our planet– it is a complex and dynamic force that protects living beings from cosmic radiation and charged particles from the Sun.

The current prevailing understanding is that it’s largely generated by a sea of superheated, swirling liquid iron that makes up Earth’s outer core around 3 000 km (1 864 miles) below the surface. It acts as a spinning conductor, producing electrical currents that generate the continuously changing electromagnetic field.

It’s known that the field varies in strength and direction. For instance, recent studies have shown that the north magnetic pole’s position is rapidly migrating toward Siberia.

For the past 200 years, the magnetic field has lost about 9 percent of its strength on a worldwide average.

Meanwhile, a large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America — known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.

The South Atlantic Anomaly refers to an area where our protective shield is weak. This animation shows the magnetic field strength at Earth’s surface from 2014-2020 based on data collected by the Swarm satellite constellation. Credit: ESA

The minimum field strength in this area has pummeled from 24 000 nanoteslas to 22 000 from 1970 to 2020. At the same time, the area of the anomaly has expanded and advanced westward at a pace of around 20 km (12 miles) per year.

In addition, for the past five years, a second center of minimum intensify has appeared southwest of Africa, indicating that the South Atlantic Anomaly could rupture into two separate cells.

The magnetic field is commonly pictured as a powerful dipolar bar magnet at the planet’s core, tilted at about 11° to the axis of rotation. However, the growth of the anomaly signifies that the process involved in generating the field is more complex as simple dipolar models were not capable of accounting for the latest development of the second minimum.

Scientists from the Swarm Data, Innovation, and Science Cluster (DISC) used information from ESA’s Swarm satellite constellation to study the anomaly and have a better understanding of it. Swarm satellites are built to determine and accurately measure the different magnetic signals comprising the Earth’s magnetic field.

“The new, eastern minimum of the South Atlantic Anomaly has appeared over the last decade and in recent years is developing vigorously,” said Jurgen Matzka from the German Research Center for Geosciences.

“We are very lucky to have the Swarm satellites in orbit to investigate the development of the South Atlantic Anomaly. The challenge now is to understand the processes in Earth’s core driving these changes.”

Scientists have been speculating whether the present weakening of the field is an indication that the planet is heading for an imminent pole reversal, in which the north and south magnetic poles reverse places.

Such events have happened many times throughout the Earth’s history, and we are long overdue by the average rate — roughly every 250 000 years at which the switch occurs.

While the mysterious origin of South Atlantic Anomaly is yet to be identified, ESA said that at the surface level it does not present a cause for alarm. However, satellites and other spacecraft flying through the area are more likely to experience technical malfunctions as the magnetic field is weaker in this region, so charged particles can penetrate the altitudes of low-Earth orbit satellites. In addition, SWARM scientists think the intensity dip in the South Atlantic occurring now is well within what is considered normal levels of fluctuations.

Dolphins & the Lockdown

Dolphins Bring Gifts From the Sea in Apparent Response to Lack of Human Interaction

The sea mammals have been lining up to bring gifts ashore – “apparently because they’re missing interaction with humans,” according to a report by 7News.

(TMU) – For much of the world, it’s been weeks if not months since we entered lockdown. And while humanity hitting the “pause” button has seemingly been a blessing in disguise for some creatures who have used the respite to enjoy clean air and water for the first time in decades, other animals actually may miss us human beings.

Such appears to be the case for the dolphins who hang out at Tin Can Bay in Queensland, Australia, where the sea mammals have been lining up to bring gifts ashore – “apparently because they’re missing interaction with humans,” according to a report by 7News.

Barnacles Café and Dolphin feeding is typically filled with tourists throughout the year, and offers visitors the priceless opportunity to interact with wild humpback dolphins. And the wild dolphins do enjoy the opportunity to be treated to fresh fish by happy visitors.

But Australia began imposing strict quarantine rules in the middle of March, visitors stopped lining up to feed the animals – and the humpbacks may be worried about the sudden disappearance of their land-loving bipedal friends.

According to Barnacles, the local dolphin pod has been presenting gifts to staff at the café, ranging from barnacle-encrusted bottles to sea sponges and fragments of coral.

A post on the cafe’s Facebook page read:

“The pod has been bringing us regular gifts, showing us how much they’re missing the public interaction and attention. They are definitely missing you all.”

A volunteer at the café told reporters from ABC that while the pod has displayed this behavior in the past, the gestures have been increasing since the venue shut down.

For dolphin expert and University of Queensland PhD student Barry McGovern, the explanation for the dolphins’ behavior could be far more mundane.

“Nothing surprises me with dolphins and their behavior anymore. They do everything – they use tools, they have culture, they have something similar to names in signature whistles.”

In general, dolphins are one of the most intelligent animal species on the planet. From their playful nature to their sociability and friendliness toward humans, as well as their legendary interactions with seafarers, dolphins have inspired the adoration of humans since time immemorial.

Increasingly, human researchers are discovering that dolphins display skills and sophistication previously attributed only to the human species, including strong problem solving capabilities and a complex system of communication.

However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that we should project our own feelings of longing borne of the quarantine onto ocean mammals. McGovern explained:

“In all likelihood, they probably don’t miss humans per se … They probably miss a free meal and the routine.”

Dolphins are also generally prone to “play-like behavior.” McGovern said:

“They often play with bits of weed and coral and all sorts of things and just leave it on their rostrum (nose).They’re used to getting fed now, so they’re used to humans coming in. When it’s not happening, maybe it’s just out of boredom.”

Since coronavirus restrictions are being phased out, Barnacles Café has reopened and they have resumed dolphin feeding activities.

Meet Bill Gates

May 24, 2020

By Corbett Report

There can be no doubt that Bill Gates has worn many hats on his remarkable journey from his early life as the privileged son of a Seattle-area power couple to his current status as one of the richest and most influential people on the planet. But, as we have seen in our exploration of Gates’ rise as unelected global health czar and population control advocate, the question of who Bill Gates really is is no mere philosophical pursuit.

Today we will attempt to answer that question as we examine the motives, the ideology, and the connections of this man who has been so instrumental in shaping the post-coronavirus world.

Public Safety & Constitutional Rights

Sheriffs: We Took An Oath To The Constitution, Not to Governors & Lockdowns

May 23, 2020

By Spiro Skouras

As the global health emergency of the coronavirus pandemic begins to wane, the fallout from the lockdowns continues to mount. Each day we see more reports of record unemployment, businesses struggling to survive and critical food supply chain infrastructure shutting down.

At the same time, we see business owners and anyone else who violates the lockdown orders being threatened with jail while actual criminals convicted of serious and violent crimes are released back into the communities.

We are beginning to see that the ‘cure’ is not only worse than the disease, it will have longstanding repercussions as the severity of the crisis appears to have been greatly exaggerated.

In this report, Spiro is joined by multiple Sheriffs from across the country who clearly state their position. Public safety and people’s constitutional rights are their number one priority.

These Sheriffs are true patriots who not only serve the people in their communities by upholding their sworn oaths, they serve as a great reminder of how this country and the rule of law is meant to be upheld, as many state Governors blatantly disregard the Constitution and impose broad and wide-ranging authoritarian lockdowns which many would argue are causing far more damage than the virus itself.

Some Thoughts from William Henry

Posted on by

Never let a good virus crisis go to waste.

The dramatic, discouraging and dehumanizing, cessation of person to person, face to face, contact we are now experiencing, and the — zoomy, zoomy — simultaneous opening of the portal to the virtual world, should come as a surprise to no one. Well, to no one who has attended any of my A.I. or Transhumanism lectures in the past few years or who watched my riotous presentation on Gaia (which you can watch for free here).

This dehumanization was planned. So was the opening of the portal.

The gods behind Silicon Valley (the generic term for the shills of A.I. and Transhumanism) have long been moving the herd in this direction. It just took two months of house arrest and in your face totalitarianism for the rest of us to catch up with them and to realize these people don’t think much of us as at all. In fact, most of us are “unessential.”

For decades now we have been brainwashed by materialist-minded scientists and A.I. cultists that we, and our biological bodies, are ‘just’ information and data.

That’s right.

Forget about that mushy human you think you are. All those life-transforming concepts like “I’m not soul having a human experience” are nonsense to the gods behind Silicon Valley.

Here is the Great Awakening they wish for you to have.

You, darling one, are just data. From your DNA to your Facebook page you are one data generating machine that they can make/take money from.

Now, they have discovered that a virtual you, called an avatar, can generate just as much data (and cash) as the ‘real’ you.  They seek to coax you in to creating a cartoon ‘avatar’ that will be ‘you’ in the online world, only better. Once you get comfortable with the idea of identifying with your ‘data self’ you won’t mind so much what happens to your old and ragged biological self. The reason is because, long after you drop your mortal coil, your avatar will live forever in the virtual universe…or so long as it is still plugged in anyway.

Wait a minute. This sounds nuts. I thought an avatar was a spiritual term for a divine being who incarnates on Earth?

It is. I will get to this on the sunny side of this article. Silicon Valley has co-opted this spiritual term.

Now, they can’t just come right out and tell you that their long term plan is to coax you out of your physical body into their black boxes to permanently exist in the simulated reality they wish to superimpose over this one. But, this is what they want.

“By the 2030s, virtual reality will be totally realistic and compelling and we will spend most of our time in virtual environments … We will all become virtual humans.”

 

Ever since atheist, futurist and Google’s big brain, Dr. Ray Kurzweil, said this in 2003, these data vampires have been aiming for us to drop this physical piece of you know what, develop our cartoon ‘avatar’ or a digital self, and go live in a virtual or simulated reality in a black box.

Millions of people are on their way to sinking into this black box.

The next step is the deepest.

ON THE HORIZON

Facebook, led by Marck Zuckerberg, who may have a little more than an obsession with Augustus Casear (which explains a lot about his hair cut and the behavior of the human surveillance company he founded), has been dying to shove us off into its virtual world.

As you watch the clips below, keep in mind the present VR world is primitive compared to where we are going (which I will show you momentarily). It is where Hollywood was in the 1920s compared to where we are today.

Whole new impossible worlds await!

Here is  2017 promo clip for Facebook Spaces. Notice how the main character transforms into a ‘light being’ after he puts on his VR goggles and does a primitive upload. Facebook scrapped this in 2017.

Facebook wants us to spend time with friends and family like you’re really together. How about… perhaps… actually spending time with them?

In 2019 Facebook trashed Spaces and brought us Horizons. Its still creepy, but the graphics getting better. And, you still don’t have to worry about legs or sex organs in this digital utopia.

What we are witnessing is the The Matrix manifesting before our eyes.

What is happening with VR will transform every aspect of our society, and every aspect of your life. It is the basis for the ‘new, puking, normal’.

Like all tools it can be used to bring light or dark. I see a lot more dark than light. Sure, it would be amazing to converse with loved ones long after they have slipped into the afterlife.

To make it work for the living all we have to do is get past how it can greatly amplify escapism, depression, porn addiction, gaming addiction and begin to see it as the light at the end of the tunnel to salvation from our ‘miserable’ human existence.

NO LOVE STORY

Until February 2020, I still thought we had a few years before the portal to VR opened. The reason is because no one was buying the VR crap. The whole goggles thing? The brain ache isn’t worth it. So, forget it, said the mall rats checking it out at the Microsoft store.

The mainstream was not having it. VR and its sisters, Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) have been five years away since Al Gore invented the internet. It looked to remain this way.

Still, 2019 was a really big year for VR. The industry was growing. The money was flowing. The portal was sucking in cash.

All the VR gods needed was some Really Big Event to shove open the portal wide and shove everyone in.

In America, the key moneychangers are Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and Google.The usual suspects. The customer is the same, too.

In November 2018 Microsoft won a two-year contract worth $480m with the US government to bring AR headsets to US soldiers, using HoloLens for training and on the battlefield with the addition of thermal imaging. Early versions allow troops to see other soldiers or satellite maps of terrain inside the headset. This contract could result in the US Army buying around 100,000 mixed-reality headsets from Microsoft — potentially making the US Army the biggest users of headsets, and the biggest producers of VR-induced headaches, over time.

“Soldier lethality will be vastly improved through cognitive training and advanced sensors, enabling squads to be first to detect, decide, and engage. Accelerated development of these capabilities is necessary to recover and maintain overmatch,” the US Army said in a tender document. A number of Microsoft employees grew a conscious and protested the company’s involvement in building better killing machines.

Tony Stark must be hearing footsteps at this moment.

 

TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS

So, here was the dilemma. The military is one thing, but we consumers don’t like being tricked into thinking the fake virtual world is our salvation when it is a pain in the neck to operate (with heavy, clunky backpacks), the resolution is crappy and it makes us dizzy.

Plus, going through the mouth of the AR/VR dragon or portal is fun the first time, but there’s not enough to do once in side the Beast as their is little content.

One reason is these apps require a ton of data. Without 5G it is not practical to offer it. This is why Hollywood and Silicon Valley need 5G everywhere, in everyone, as soon as possible. 5G is  simultaneously the lifeblood not just of the new, Transhuman, but also of the VR prison, sorry, portal.

How can the VR developers make the trillions of dollars they hope to make if no one wants what they are peddling?

How can we stop people from flying in our planes, asked ANA Airlines, and buy their “Newme”  telespresence technology instead, without 5G and everyone demanding VR?

How can we stop people from going to concerts and conferences and watch them virtually instead?

Hmmm.

CORONAVIRUS

March 2020.

The global Covid 19 virus house arrest begins and the Coronavirus Industry is launched.

Overnight, trillions of dollars are at stake for those who can ‘save’ the humans with vaccines and VR technology.

Overnight, everything goes virtual: conferences, concerts, family gatherings. Everything.

Face to face contact is harmful or so we are told over and over again by the media brainwashers. Humans are dangerous to one another. Yada. Yada. Yada.

Now, people are accepting it as a foregone future. We may never be closer than six feet from one another again.

They are clamoring to make ‘contact’ through the screen.

Big pharma, VR and AI cultists who are cashing in on human suffering are loving it.

Dehumanization complete.

More is to come.

WE’VE CROSSED THE BORDER

We have one foot and half our body in VR land or whatever it is going to be called.

Oh, that’s right. It’s the new, puking, normal.

Just as in a Hollywood story, the whole thing seems scripted, because it was. Just who the writer and director is we do not know…yet. We have a pretty good idea.

Enter mad scientist software engineer and leader of one of the biggest VR developers, who also happens to dream of gouging needles in people’s arms filled with Satan knows what kind of vaccine and nanoparticles and you have a perfect sinister character.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not opposed to VR. I can envision a couple of killer apps myself. Facebook’s Portal can keep families together, even under pressure.

What is troubling is the way in which he have been dragged into VR insanity and the way in which its promoters are dehumanizing users.

What is our response?

THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER : THE SUNNY SIDE

We only have one response. We have to become a real life, biological avatar. Or, call in Avatars who can help us attain the higher consciousness of the actual, spiritual avatars, not the fake Silicon Valley ones.

As I have previously discussed, just as the gods behind Silicon Valley intend to prove that we live in a simulated reality (and that you don’t have an existence outside of this reality), we must counter with proof that the spiritual world is real and that we do have an actual existence outside of this matrix.

When the world is in the grip of pain, misery, suffering and chaos, an Avatar manifests who will push the world in a spiritual direction.

Yogananda said that an avatar “is born not to show us how great he was, but to give us hope that the state of consciousness he had attained, we too can attain.” (2)

The Bhagavad Gita declared thousands of years ago:

When goodness grows weak,

When evil increases,

I make myself a body.

In every age I come back

To deliver the holy,

To destroy the sin of the sinner,

To establish righteousness.

The Avatar awakens humanity to its true potential, not the one promised by technology (that evaporates with the flick of the off switch).

Truth and love absolute are the essence of the divine teachings of the true Avatars.

Silicon Valley cannot be naive enough not to know this. It seems more likely they are using the term ‘avatar’ in a mocking sense, just like everything else they do with Transhumanism.

“Avatar” is a Sanskrit word that means “descent”. It is the material appearance of a divine being or a deity from heaven on earth. Think Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ, Buddha, and Mohammed. Often, the Avatars descend in order to fight a demon on Earth.

This is exactly what is happening with VR. Humans are descending into a black box world under the control of psychopaths and totalitarian dictators.

A Sufi saying goes: “The fall of an angel is the birth of a man.”

Is the fall of a human into the digital prison the birth of a new man?

Are we to somehow suppose that we are supposed to choose to “fall” into the black box as some kind of spiritual heroes? In their fake online worlds they promise that you can be anything and anyone you want, hence, the term avatar.

No way.

A ‘real’ avatar is one who is freed from illusion or delusion and is here to help others wake up.

This is why Silicon Valley’s use of the term is a ruse. The lure of fake power in a fake world is devlish.

Is a mass human sacrifice is coming vis a vis translation into digital beings? Not if we can wake them up first.

Still, we are being prepared for this by movies, such as Steven Spielberg’s ReadyPlayer One, that stark bit of brainwashing in which young people enter a VR world and stay there…to save the planet. In 2045 the planet is on the brink of chaos and collapse, but people find salvation in the OASIS: an expansive virtual reality universe.

Then there is Upload, the sci-fi comedy series.  Its premise is that, in 2033, humans are able to “upload” themselves into a virtual utopian afterlife of their choosing.

I know. It sounds bizarre that we have opened a portal to another world, but it is occurring right before our eyes.

Get ready for it. We are being primed. Will millions soon choose to flick off their body and escape to digital heaven?

Not if we wake them up first.

Will they permanently choose to live in these digital cities and worlds? Or, will they be able to “bounce back” into a flesh and blood body?

This could never happen in the real world, right? People would never, under any circumstances, suddenly, willingly, blindly give up all their rights and submit to house arrest. Right?

Humans would never elect to drop their bodies and go live, permanently, as an elf in Elvenar  or Forge of Empires. Right?

This is the same as Christianity promising ascension to a cube-shaped celestial city. Right?

Wrong.

In Christianity’s promise you get to keep your soul.

In Silicon Valley’s promise you don’t even have a soul. But, if you do, they will take it as payment for entry into their digital afterlife.

But, not if we can wake them up first.

FAKEBOOK’S AVATARS

If you don’t think Facebook is trying to coax us into a black box utopia, think again.

Have you seen Facebook’s stupid Avatar app?

While all the world is under house arrest and looking for a way to stay healthy and alive, Facebook took it upon itself to dictatorially censor any health informaton they wished. Not because it was wrong, but because they did not agree with it.  

You mean Facebook acted like a dictator and profited from human suffering?

The company took further advantage of the Coronavirus crisis to launch their Avatar app.

The feature allows Facebook users to create a cartoon look alike avatar of themselves. You can use the avatar in comments, Facebook stories and messenger. Now, everyone can have their own digital Avatar.

While you may think this is cute and fun, it serves Facebook’s larger agenda: to make insane amounts of money of your data self. Soon, your Avatar will be making them money, too. Facebook aims to monetize Avatars directly. You’ll soon be dressing your fake data self in expensive digital clothing, buy it jewelry. You know, more of the same crap we want in the ‘real’ world. And, to shift you into the black box of no return.

With Avatar Mark Zuckerberg has the foundation of a digital identity that could travel with us alongside our data, personalizing every online interaction. You, your Avatar, will be an embodied version of you online. As noted, it will live so long as the black box is plugged in.

This is only the beginning of the new life you will lead online.

In fact, you will wonder why ever consented to be born in a physical body again.

RISE OF THE AVATARS

In the next five years, concurrent with the widening of the portal, we will see the rise of digital humanoids or avatars who will take the place of flesh and blood humans.

Corporations are already vying for supremacy in creating “the most human A.I.” workers.

Meet Amelia, your “digital colleague”. She can do the job of thousands. Meet your competition.

It won’t be long before when you call customer service you will be greeting by a virtual being, instead of just a voice..

Same thing at the grocery store check out, the retail store, the restaurant, etc.

By the way, you won’t actually visit a bricks and mortar store either. Through VR or AR you will shop from home in a virtual version of these stores.

Meet Baby X. The Baby X project, led by special-effects artist Mark Sagar, aims to teach a digital infant via a virtual brain powered by neural networks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug5iDnLZiUc

This is a new type of being. Created in a lab she has a patented digital brain. She even has the face or image of Sagar’s own daughter.

Now, say hi to Sam and Roman. Creators Soul Machines call them Digital People. While human to human contact is being discouraged, okay outlawed, the A.I. wizards are improving human to machine contact.

Meet Wendy. She’s another A.I. digital human who is capable of recognizing and responding to customer’s emotions as they chat onscreen.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRyM52GQ7Ks

Then, there is Samsung’s Neon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Day8hlfSqwc

Samsung “the artificial human company,” envisions a world filled with AI assistants, but not the sort of chatbot-powered assistants we’ve become accustomed to. The Seoul-based company that we used think just made crazy phones and great TVs unveiled Neon, a project developed by subsidiary STAR Labs that ambitiously aims to deliver “immersive … services” that “[make] science fiction a reality.”

Promising a “new kind of life”, Neon’s avatars look more like videos than computer-generated characters, and that’s by design  — beyond media, they’re intended to become “companions and friends” and stand in for concierges and receptionists in hotels, stores, restaurants, and more. These realistic chatbots aren’t meant to replace humans but “to make us more human,” says Samsung.

These avatars look like real humans. “Neon is like a new kind of life,” says STAR Labs CEO Pranav Mistry in the release. “There are millions of species on our planet and we hope to add one more.” (Because nothing says “I have a god complex” like a tech executive comparing his work to the creation of life.)

The key is that the caped corporate gods want us to think these beings are just like us. They’re just doing their job. They have emotions. The are “just humans” made digitally perfect.

Wow!

It must be amazing to play God.

GOLEM

As I wrote in my 2017 article, “Creepy Valley : The Soul In The Land of Transhumanism”, Facebook’s avatars, like all the others, are spiritually troubling. I don’t know if Mark Zuckerberg is a practicing Jew or not (he seems to lean toward atheism), however, his rabbi would warn him that what he is creating is a digital golem. In Jewish folklore, a golem is an animated anthropomorphic being, an artificial / fake man, that is created entirely from inanimate matter. The word means “my light form”.

Light form? Wait. Isn’t that what Facebook is trying to get you to create with its stupid app.

Yes, darling, it is.

Facebook is in the golem business.

Mark Zuckerberg is the new god in the garden. Or is he the serpent in the garden?

The roots of the legend are ancient: the Talmud claims that Adam, the first human, himself — and thus, theologically speaking, all of humanity —was a golem until God breathed a soul into his nostrils.

In Jewish lore, the most famous other golem was one created in Prague in the 16th century as an avenger and protector. This golem was supposed to have been made of clay by Rabbi Loew or Leib, a Talmudic scholar, a renowned Cabbalist and also a worldly man for one in his time. Brought to life by Cabbalistic magic (he wrote the letters aleph, mem, tav, which is emet and means “truth,” on the golem’s forehead and the golem would come alive), its purpose was to defend a synagogue.

While he zealously promotes golem-making to an unsuspecting audience, Zuckerberg may wish to review this story as it did not turn out well.

Playing God never does.

In the story, the golem turned on its maker.

In short, Zuckerberg better watch out for the consequences of what he is unleashing.

Then again, he may see himself as above and beyond karma.

The bottom line here is that TIME IS UP.

AUTHENTIC AVATARS MUST AWAKEN if we wish to see the ‘real’ human race survive much longer. If we don’t wake up the next step will be for the “Digital” humans to revolt against their creators, step over the glass, and take on biological bodies. Then, the real fun will begin.

Published: | Updated:

Coronavirus lockdowns have ‘destroyed millions of livelihoods’ but failed to alter the course of the pandemic given many US states have seen lower infection rates after easing restrictions, a JP Morgan study has claimed.

The statistical analysis has raised questions about the effectiveness of the lockdowns put in place across much of the United States two months ago to stop the spread of COVID-19.

It suggests that the lockdown measures have not only resulted in economic devastation but could have also resulted in more COVID-19 deaths.

The strict stay-at-home measures put in place by the governors of most states in mid-March has so far seen nearly 39 million American lose their jobs and forced businesses to close.

There are now more than 1.6 million infections in the US and over 95,000 deaths.

‘Unlike rigorous testing of potential new drugs, lockdowns were administered with little consideration that they might not only cause economic devastation but potentially more deaths than COVID-19 itself,’ author Marko Kolanovic, a trained physicist and a strategist for JP Morgan, said.

The JP Morgan report says that restarting the US economy may not lead to a second surge in infections that health experts have feared given the falling infections rates seen since lockdown measures were lifted in parts of the country

The JP Morgan report says that restarting the US economy may not lead to a second surge in infections that health experts have feared given the falling infections rates seen since lockdown measures were lifted in parts of the country.

Almost all states have seen lower infection reproduction rates (R rates) after lockdown measures were lifted, according to the report.

Meanwhile, Nevada, Rhode Island, Texas, North Dakota and Pennsylvannia are the states where infection rates increased after lockdowns ended, according to the report.

Infection rates have continued to decline even once a lag period for new infections to become visible is factored in, according to the report.

A chart included in the report shows that many US states have seen a lower rate of transmission (R rate) after full-scale lockdowns were ended.

The R rate is the average number of people who will become infected by one person with the virus. Researchers and health experts have said a rate below 1.0 is a key indicator that the spread of the virus has been maintained.

Reproduction rate data from Rt.live on Friday showed that all but two states had lowered the rate of infection.

According to that data, Minnesota’s R rate was 1.01 and North Dakota’s was at 1.02.

All 50 states have at least partially reopened this week by relaxing restrictions on businesses and social distancing in varying degrees across the country.

Kolanovic said governments had been spooked by ‘flawed scientific papers’ into imposing lockdowns that were ‘inefficient or late’ and had little effect.

‘While we often hear that lockdowns are driven by scientific models, and that there is an exact relationship between the level of economic activity and the spread of [the] virus – this is not supported by the data,’ the report says.

‘Indeed, virtually everywhere infection rates have declined after re-opening even after allowing for an appropriate measurement lag.

‘This means that the pandemic and COVID-19 likely have (their) own dynamics unrelated to often inconsistent lockdown measures that were being implemented.’

Those dynamics may be influenced by increased hand-washing and even weather patterns but seemingly not by full-scale lockdowns, the report suggests.

‘The fact that re-opening did not change the course of the pandemic is consistent with studies showing that initiation of full lockdowns did not alter the course of the pandemic either,’ it says.

The JP Morgan analysis linked the decision to impose lockdowns to ‘flawed scientific papers’ predicting millions of deaths in the West.

‘This on its own was odd, given that in China there were only several thousand deaths, and the mortality rate outside of Wuhan was very low,’ the report says.

‘In the absence of conclusive data, these lockdowns were justified initially. Nonetheless, many of these efforts were inefficient or late.’

Kolanovic says that lockdowns had remained in place even as ‘our knowledge of the virus and lack of effectiveness of total lockdowns evolved’.

‘Despite the conditions for re-opening being mostly met across the US, it is not yet happening in the largest economic regions for example California and New York,’ he said.

‘While our knowledge of the virus and lack of effectiveness of total lockdowns evolved, lockdowns remained in place and focus shifted to contact tracing, contemplating second wave of outbreaks and ideas about designing better education, political and economic systems.

‘At the same time, millions of livelihoods were being destroyed by these lockdowns.’

The US and other countries in lockdown are having to blow huge holes in their budgets to counter the economic standstill that is forcing millions of people into unemployment.

The report cites ‘worrying populism’ as an obstacle to re-opening the economy, for example in the US where senators passed an anti-China measure this week.

It warns that economic activity in the US is ‘now largely following partisan lines’ as Republican and Democratic governors adopt different strategies for their states.

As well as casting doubt on the wisdom of imposing lockdowns in the first place, the report suggests that economies could now be re-opened more quickly.

In other parts of the world, Denmark is among the countries that has started re-opening its economy without seeing a new surge in virus cases.

Americans across the country have protested the strict lockdowns. Pictured above are protesters in Lansing, Michigan

Zoos, museums and cinemas have re-opened early in Denmark with many children now back at school after scientists said the R rate had continued to fall.

Germany has also been confident enough to scale back the lockdown after the R rate mostly stayed below 1.0 following an initial lifting of restrictions.

However, chancellor Angela Merkel has repeatedly urged caution and warned that a second wave of virus cases could leave hospitals overwhelmed.

The UK government has similarly warned that some restrictions could be re-imposed if there is a ‘sudden and concerning’ rise in new cases.

Sweden has never imposed a lockdown, and its per-capita death rate is better than Britain’s – although worse than that of its Scandinavian neighbours.

The World Health Organisation has urged ‘extreme vigilance’ about lifing lockdowns, saying there is ‘always the risk that the virus takes off again’.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that some countries such as Germany and South Korea had systems in place to respond to a new surge.

Tedros said that a ‘comprehensive package of measures’ is needed until a vaccine becomes available, which is likely to be many months away at least.

It is not yet fully clear how many people have been infected or to what extent they are now immune, but most people remain susceptible.

Giving To Control

Posted on by

Against Big Philanthropy

Philanthropy sounds nice, but it’s still a tax-sheltered way that plutocrats exercise power, says Stanford’s Rob Reich.

The Atlantic

The world’s tech titans are amassing some of the biggest fortunes ever created. Some, like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, are giving most of it away. While there have been some dissenters, the general reaction to this kind of philanthropy has been positive. Bill Gates has the highest net favorability of any major political figure not named Colin Powell; he’s seen as warm and competent.

But Stanford professor Rob Reich, who directs the university’s Center for Ethics in Society, explores an argument against philanthropy  in Just Giving: Why Philanthropy Is Failing Democracy and How It Can Do Better. It can be summarized in a sentence:

“Big Philanthropy is definitionally a plutocratic voice in our democracy,” Reich told me, “an exercise of power by the wealthy that is unaccountable, non-transparent, donor-directed, perpetual, and tax-subsidized.”

This was not previously a minority position. If you look back to the origins of these massive foundations in the Gilded Age fortunes of Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller, their creation was massively controversial, Reich said, and for good reason.

“A hundred years ago, there was enormous skepticism that creating a philanthropic entity was either a way to cleanse your hands of the dirty way you’d made your money or, more interestingly, that it was welcome from the standpoint of democracy,” Reich told me at the Aspen Ideas Festival, which is co-hosted by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic. “Because big philanthropy is an exercise of power, and in a democracy, any form of concentrated power deserves scrutiny, not gratitude.”

Both Teddy Roosevelt and union leaders like the AFL-CIO’s Samuel Gompers decried the creation of the Rockefeller Foundation. Roosevelt’s presidential opponent, William Howard Taft, criticized legislation that would have enabled the foundation as “a bill to incorporate Mr. Rockefeller.”

Our era has not seen similar skepticism, despite the wealth inequality that serves as the precondition for such massive foundations. Though perhaps it is returning. In addition to Reich’s book, Anand Giridharadas will publish an adjacent argument in August about the new philanthropy, Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World. Joanne Barkan has published in Dissent, The Guardian, and other publications about big philanthropy’s foibles, too.

Reich’s work, however, is compact, and comes direct from the heart of the new wealth in Silicon Valley. He can tick off the problems with each structural component of foundations.

First, big foundations are unaccountable. They answer neither to voters or to marketplace competition.

Second, they do not have to be transparent. They file one tax form. The $8 billion Simons Foundation International doesn’t even have a website.

Third, they are donor-directed. The employees—the people on the ground— “can’t determine the mission” of the organization.

Fourth, the donor’s intent must be respected even when the donor has died.  Societies grow and change, but the mission defined by the creator of the foundation remains the mission in perpetuity.

And fifth, on top of all this, foundations are tax-subsidized. “We’re at a moment in American society in which the winners in the marketplace attempt to diminish their tax burdens, both corporately and individually, as low as they can legally go,” Reich told me. “Then having diminished their tax burden as low as it can go, they turn around and set up a private foundation, taking a further tax break.”

Then, with money that would have otherwise have gone to the government, where at least there is nominal democratic control over spending priorities, the philanthropists use that money on whatever social purpose they’ve decided to support.

Is this system, as Reich describes it, really one that any democracy would want?

“Instead of extending our enormous gratitude to the greatest philanthropists among us as these icons of civic beneficence, we should be scrutinizing and criticizing them,” Reich said. “Not because philanthropy is necessarily bad, but because it is an exercise of power.”

Reich does have some hope for the foundations—a suggestion for how they could do their work in ways that benefit democracies like ours. “Foundations,” he said, “should be making long-time-horizon, risky experiments in social innovation that the government won’t do and the marketplace is unlikely to do.”

2021 & The Cathars

Posted on by

Cathar Prophecy: Light of the World

by:    Anaiya Sophia

There is a Cathar Prophecy that was spoken by the last known Parfait, Guilhem Belibaste, moments before he was interrogated and burnt at the stake in the Occitan region of Southern France, 1321. This prophecy spoke of how ‘we shall return in 700 years when the laurel turns green again’. That was 699 years ago, marking 2021 as the year that fulfils this prophecy.

Many say the Cathars were the spiritual descendants of Mary Magdalene, who came to France soon after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  Throughout Occitania, the region once known as the Languedoc, it is known that Mary’s reach and impact upon the local people were as far and wide as Jesus’s within the holy land.

The local people say it was Mary Magdalene who brought this ‘spirit’ to Gaul (France) all those years ago, along with John the Beloved. The two of them transmitted a heavenly message of Love, Grace and Truth that continues to linger today. It is said the people of Occitania, were in a constant state of celebration, they never wore shoes, and the light of a thousand suns shone in their eyes. The mountains, valleys and meadows of the French Pyrenees became the backdrop for a gentle way of life that placed love, prayer and communion at the centre of every day. These ‘first Christians’ lived alongside Mary Magdalene, who personally taught and baptised them into the way of love. This intimacy was the jewel that shone at the very centre of Occitania.

Centuries later, her message had spread to the north of Italy and Spain, making Occitania the spiritual centre of rapidly expanding faith – one that was essentially different from the Church of Rome.

The distinction was the idea that there were two gods, one good and the other evil, and this was the critical difference at the centre of Cathar belief. Cathars believed that the good God was the creator of the spiritual realm, whereas the evil God was the creator of the physical world whom many Cathars identified as Satan.

This physical world they avoided and steered themselves away from at all costs was the world of money, power, control, ownership and religion. They knew to opt-out of a society that was humanmade and relied upon dependence and submission. Instead, they choose to live a simple life based on the gentle generosity they found in nature.  Their Church was not a building, but a place. Instead, they would gather in meadows, woodlands and beside springs in the natural world – this is where they found their Holy Spirit.

Many say the Cathars held within their community the Book of Love and the Holy Grail. The Book of Love was an original parchment containing the handwritten text of both Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ.  Whereas the Holy Grail was a handed down chalice that belonged to Mary and goes all the way back to Eve. Both items Mary brought to France from the Holy Land, and have remained in France ever since.

No one knows for sure what the Book of Love contained, as almost everything was destroyed by the inquisition and two crusades that came their way.  However, the local people today still swear that the Book of Love and the Holy Grail has never been found and are still hidden in these valleys today.

Central to their pathway was the Consolamentum –  a ritual that included the laying of hands, Book of Love and Holy Grail that invoked the infinite grace of the Holy Spirit upon the human soul. This spectacular downpouring of immense light and reconciliation reconditioned the soul into its original innocence – permanently.

This ritual was performed by those choosing to become a parfait (perfect one), or at the approach of death. The life of a parfait was open to men and women, as equality between the genders was a foundational stone of Cathar life.

Cathars believed the human spirit was an androgynous angel trapped in the material realm of the evil god, destined to be reincarnated until they achieved salvation through the consolamentum when they would return to the good god, in their original innocence.

Those who choose to become a parfait would spend 3-4 years in an enclosed community who lived in caves, where they prayed, reflected and purified their minds and bodies.  During this period the parfait-to-be would move through three different caves, known as the Eglise, Hermit and Bethlehem.  These three stages would open and prepare the novice to receive the consolamentum, at such immense depth, that its effects would last the remainder of the lifetime – and quite possibly, beyond.

Once a parfait, they would leave their local community and go out to spread the word, heal the sick and bring the spirit to all those who quenched. They always did this with another parfait, walking the old pathways in their navy blue robe, simple rope belt and book of love (they had transcribed in their own hand) clutched under their arm.  As for the Holy Grail, it always remained in one place – the Bethelem cave.

Once the final crusade bludgeoned its way toward the last Cathar stronghold in March 1244, at a place called Montsegur, it is said that a second crucifixion took place.  This one, being the crucifixion of the Feminine Christ – the Light of the World. However, as 224 Cathars descended the mountain of Montsegur, they were singing.  Despite being starved and frail from months of siege and cold winter weather, they carried within them the spirit that Mary had rekindled within them.

Holding hands while singing the men, women and children walked into the flames on their own accord, at the Camp de Cremat (burning fields) that rests in the pasture down below the old crumbling fortress.

There’s a story that one of the inquisition turned back to look at the castle, just as the last folk entered the flames.  To his astonishment – he saw Esclarmonde (last Cathar bishop) hovering above the fortress, eclipsing the grail before the light as she turned into a white dove and flew toward the Cathar Holy Mountain.

The summit of this mountain is known as Pic de Soularac and is known as the place where the highest essence of this tradition still resides. It is so pure and sacred that should you climb; only your soul will make it to the top. Everything else will fall away in prostration as the Light of the World descends upon you. It is here that the Book of Love was read out loud, to the land, the waters, the animals and the people – whether they could hear it or not. As for the Holy Grail, it is close by, imbuing the land and its people with a message that no one can squash.

Propaganda + Repetition + Economic Devastation = Reaction

Posted on by
by Jon Rappoport

In today’s episode of COVID fakery on rye and hold the apocalypse, we begin with a bevy of quotes from Edward Bernays (1891-1995), the acknowledged father of modern public relations, aka propaganda. I include his statements as a warm-up backgrounder—

“This is an age of mass production. In the mass production of materials a broad technique has been developed and applied to their distribution. In this age, too, there must be a technique for the mass distribution of ideas.” (1928)

“The engineering of consent is the very essence of the democratic process, the freedom to persuade and suggest.” (1947)

“It is sometimes possible to change the attitudes of millions but impossible to change the attitude of one man.” (date unknown)

“When I came back to the United States, I decided that if you could use propaganda for war, you could certainly use it for peace. And ‘propaganda’ got to be a bad word because of the Germans using it, so what I did was to try and find some other words. So we found the words ‘counsel on public relations’.” (date unknown)

“When Napoleon said, ‘Circumstance? I make circumstance‚’ he expressed very nearly the spirit of the public relations counsel’s work.” (1923)

“Domination to-day is not a product of armies or navies or wealth or policies. It is a domination based on the one hand upon accomplished unity, and on the other hand upon the fact that opposition is generally characterized by a high degree of disunity.” (1923)

“The public relations counsel, therefore, is a creator of news for whatever medium he chooses to transmit ideas. It is his duty to create news no matter what the medium which broadcasts this news.” (1923)

“The only difference between ‘propaganda’ and ‘education,’ really, is in the point of view. The advocacy of what we believe in is education. The advocacy of what we don’t believe in is propaganda.” (1923)

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.” (1928)

“Propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible government.” (1928)

“If you can influence the leaders, either with or without their conscious cooperation, you automatically influence the group which they sway. But men do not need to be actually gathered together in a public meeting or in a street riot, to be subject to the influences of mass psychology. Because man is by nature gregarious he feels himself to be member of a herd, even when he is alone in his room with the curtains drawn. His mind retains the patterns which have been stamped on it by the group influences.” (1928)

The news heads and the talk show heads and the sports heads and the advertisers and bureaucrats and politicians and public health flacks and celebrities are assuring television viewers, with no shame: We’re all in this together. Over and over. Night and day. On every channel.

This was the strategy during older wars. No time for disagreement or dissent; there must be a unified response and effort; otherwise, we could lose.

We’re all in this together means: fall in line.

If that’s share and care and love, it’s robot love.

Advertisers, despite their studies and their sophistication and their wall-to-wall profiling of consumers, still believe in the first principle of propaganda: repetition.

Get the name of your product and company out there and don’t stop. Do it a thousand times, a million times. As long as you have money to pay for ads, do it.

Look at the insurance company commercials. Progressive, State Farm, Liberty, Geico. The little vignettes they lay on are really the occasion for pasting their company name on the screen. Make these 30-second stories friendly and funny and crazy, but the money shot is the company name.

Pandemic ads and messages follow the same rule. In this case, it’s TOGETHERNESS. UNITY. Pounded on and on.

Why? If cooperation and love and togetherness are basic human impulses, why do people need to be reminded of that 24 hours a day, on television?

Does a husband who loves his wife need to see his face and his wife’s face on a screen, on every channel, without let-up, along with a message urging him to adore her?

On the other hand, a person who’s been thrown out of a job, who can’t find work, who sees his government checks fading down to zero…he needs pacification. That’s a tough sell. That sell-job requires a whole lot of repetition…

…In order to produce SHAME in him, if he feels cheated and exiled and screwed. The repetition of togetherness and fake love informs him that the collective citizenry isn’t on his side. It tells him his righteous anger has no place in the relentlessly upbeat messaging of “unity.” It keeps him feeling isolated.

Now we’re getting down to it. Don’t let the people who are economically devastated believe they can find each other. Shut them out. Pump them full of television public service ads that paint an “uplifting” picture from which they’re excluded.

They may be devastated, but television tells them they aren’t on the team if they give their own concerns first priority. If they do, they’re non-persons.

After all, when they sit at home watching TV, do they see a cropped video of another unemployed worker sitting in a dark room saying, “THIS IS CRAZY. I WANT TO WORK. I NEED FOOD. MY BOSS CLOSED HIS COMPANY. HE’S BANKRUPT. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?”

Are they offered that kind of unity? Togetherness?

“Hi. I’m an NFL cornerback. I’ve made thirty million during my career. Here I am at home with my kids. We’re playing games on the floor. I’m enjoying my family. We’ll get through this. All of us. Stay safe. Use the time to bring your family closer together.”

Major news outlets are under strict orders to keep “disturbing human interest stories” off the front page and away from their broadcasts. This is also part and parcel of the wartime effort.

It would have to be, since economic devastation is what this fake pandemic is actually all about. No one in the mainstream will let that cat out of the bag. It would be more than a mistake. It would be a confession. It would be suicide.

How about these headlines? VACCINE KINGS WANT TO SOFTEN UP POPULATIONS FOR A NEEDLE IN THE ARM. A RUINED POPULACE IS READY TO BE LED INTO A NEW WORLD ORDER.

Propagandists know that a one-two punch of fear and then assurance works. Scare them with the virus, comfort them with togetherness.

But still, it’s a tough sell. It has legs for a while, but then the natives become restless, especially in the hinterlands. People who aren’t jammed together in big cities, who live in open spaces, tend to develop immunity to lies. Coiffed press hookers on television dispensing so-called news carry less punch. Farmers know if they can’t plant their crops on time, with workers side by side, they’ll go broke.

Generally speaking, people who don’t see other people who are sick, and don’t hear ambulance sirens, start wondering what’s happening.

Protests begin. Protests expand.

The fake night of obedience turns into the real day of rebellion.

It turns out that a story about an invisible virus isn’t quite the same as a line of enemy tanks approaching. All promoted wars are not equal.

Fauci knows this. Birx knows this. Bill Gates knows this. Mayors and governors know this. The CDC and WHO know this. They don’t really care whether you survive, but they know you care. So, for them, it’s a race against time. How long can they keep the lid on? How long can their preposterous messaging work?

Stage magic is an odd game. The performer has to run his tricks quickly, so people don’t have the luxury of sitting back and thinking about how he is fooling them. However, the public health magicians and the politician magicians and the news magicians are hemmed in—they’re basically one-trick ponies. Virus, virus, virus=together, together, together.

It looks good, but it wears out.

It’s wearing out now.

I’ll close this piece with a few more gems from Edward Bernays—to urge you to keep your eye on the ball. The real ball.

“If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it?” (1928)

“A single factory, potentially capable of supplying a whole continent with its particular product, cannot afford to wait until the public asks for its product; it must maintain constant touch, through advertising and propaganda, with the vast public in order to assure itself the continuous demand which alone will make its costly plant profitable. This entails a vastly more complex system of distribution than formerly.” (1928)

“No serious sociologist any longer believes that the voice of the people expresses any divine or specially wise and lofty idea. The voice of the people expresses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by the group leaders in whom it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and clichés and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders.” (1928)

“Propaganda is of no use to the politician unless he has something to say which the public, consciously or unconsciously, wants to hear.” (1928)
