Meta: The Final Disconnect From Reality?

Posted By: Patrick Wood October 29, 2021

Mark Zuckerberg hasn’t lost his mind, but he wants you to lose yours… to the metaverse. He is investing billions of dollars to make sure that his rebranded company, Meta, will be the industry leader in the same way that IBM dominated the computer industry for many decades.

 

 

 

Other major Big Tech companies are jumping in. Gaming software development companies, chip manufacturers and hardware developers. Together, it will create an entirely new industry that will run alongside Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Reality.

For those who embrace it, the metaverse will completely rewire the human brain. It will get into your brain. It will dominate your brain. It will provide an endless source of dopamine hits as you are visually, mentally and emotionally stimulated.

It will dominate the workforce, the social world, the classroom and education and entertainment.

It will fulfill the dream of Transhumanism to live forever as an AI program embodied in a personalized, stateless avatar. Ray Kurzweil, head of engineering at Google and founder of Singularity University, should be dancing in the street because the long sought-after digital resurrection of his father is coming.

The metaverse will suck every byte of data from your life to empower what Dr. Soshanna Zuboff calls “Surveillance Capitalism”. That is, every blink of your eye, every facial expression, every facet of emotional and physical states, etc. The metaverse will know far more about you than you will ever know about it.

When Mark Zuckerberg says “The future is private”, he is lying through his pearly white teeth. In fact there will be zero privacy. Nor will you be compensated for voluntarily giving yourself up to this artificial Utopia.

The metaverse will not necessarily tell you what to think, but it will entirely change the way you think. It will rearrange your logic circuits in a way that you cannot distinguish between what is real and what is not. Your metaverse will become as real to you as the nose on your face.

Many people have already likened the metaverse to the 2018 movie, Ready Player One. In it, a dystopian world of poverty and misery is turned into an instant Utopia by merely putting on your virtual reality headset. This is quite reminiscent of the World Economic Forum’s pronouncement that “You will own nothing and be happy.”

How will the metaverse transform the economic system of the world? Zuckerberg sees a blending of real and virtual economies. There will be interchangeable currencies. You might buy a pizza in the metaverse but have it delivered to your house. Or vice versa. Of course, Zuckerberg also wants to create and control the digital currency.

To enable the metaverse, communication is everything. 5G wireless speeds will only scratch the surface. It will be 6G that really fires it up.

Of one thing you can be absolutely certain: the societal discussion on the metaverse is just beginning.

Obama's Final Address to UN General Assembly Confirms Divorce From Reality

© REUTERS/ Kevin LamarqueOpinion15:19 22.09.2016(updated 15:22 22.09.2016) Get short URLJohn Wight121150The mantra that all political careers end in failure was given added credence by US President Barack Obama's address to the 71st UN General Assembly in New York. It was like listening to a leader so divorced from reality it was a surprise to see his shirt buttoned up properly.As his presidency winds down to its end and the ignominy that awaits, the hubris that has marked it was never more evident in his depiction of a world in which the US remains the one indispensable nation, that "shining city on a hill" of which its adherents are never done reminding us makes it better than every other nation. Though the President was right to claim there has been a sharp reduction in global poverty in recent years, he was wrong to reduce the cause as the spread of "open markets" and "democracy." The primary cause of said reduction has been China's achievement in lifting millions of its own people out of poverty, along with millions more across the Global South with its huge investment in Africa and elsewhere. Significantly, it is investment that comes as part of a developmental model that does not, in contrast to the alternative offered by the US-dominated World Bank and IMF, take out more than it puts in. Unlike its western variant, Beijing values the role of a strong government and institutions in the interests of ensuring the political stability without which economic stability and growth is unsustainable. Economic liberalization at the hands of US-driven free market fundamentalism is accompanied by political liberalization, which until China's emergence as an alternative engine of global economic growth been a key factor in the spread of political instability across a large part of the globe. So when Obama cited "open markets" as the prime reason for the reduction in global poverty during his address to the General Assembly, he conveniently abstracted the role of the shift away from the aforementioned US-led developmental model towards the Beijing-led alternative, one that places a premium on political and national sovereignty. Amnesia © REUTERS/ Darren OrnitzUS Massacre of Syrian Soldiers Exposes Washington's Mendacity When Obama said, "We've taken away terrorist safe havens, strengthened the nonproliferation regime," he must have temporarily forgotten the existence of Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. For the citizens of those countries, terrorism is the new normal courtesy of US foreign policy both pre and post-9/11. Specifically on Obama's watch, the world has witnessed the destruction of Libya after a US-supported NATO air campaign for regime change, along with the emergence and spread of Daesh brutality and barbarism in Iraq and Syria. The proliferation of terrorist attacks across the world — including the US and Europe — has been a direct consequence. On non-proliferation, North Korea's ongoing efforts to develop nuclear weapons, along with the revelation contained in a recently released classified memo from former US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, that Israel has 200 undeclared nuclear warheads pointed at Iran, the disconnect between Obama's rhetoric and reality is again astounding. Delusion Indeed, so astounding was the disconnect on display during his address, it was like watching a man standing in a burning house assuring his wife and kids that everything is fine. © REUTERS/ U.S. Air Force/Senior Airman Matthew Bruch/HandoutString of Failures: Washington Unable to Keep a Tight Rein on Syrian RebelsConfirmation of this came during the heated UN Security Council debate on Syria a couple of days after Obama appeared in front of the General Assembly. The lack of anything resembling a peaceful resolution to a conflict that has now been raging for five long years at enormous human cost is a deplorable state of affairs. Throughout that time, Washington has remained firm in its determination to draw a moral equivalence between the country's non-sectarian, secular government and an opposition dominated by the most barbaric, sectarian, and merciless groups since the Khmer Rouge turned Cambodia into a vast killing field. There were moments during his address to the UN when Obama appeared to be making stump speech on behalf of the Clinton campaign for the upcoming US presidential election. "Today, a nation ringed by walls would only imprison itself," he said, making a clear reference to Donald Trump's pledge to build a wall on America's border with Mexico in the event he wins the race for the White House. Lack of Awareness While no right thinking person could possibly disagree with Obama's words, the ongoing controversy over the spiral of police violence against black people across the country puts into perspective the scale of his administration's failure to make any progress when it comes to the deep racial polarization that continues to scar US society 150 years after the Civil War ended slavery in the South. © REUTERS/ Carlo AllegriWhat’s Missing From Obama's UN General Assembly 'Swan Song'? Of course, Barack Obama cannot be held solely responsible for the parlous state of race relations in the United States. It is a product of cultural values that have long been entrenched and exacerbated by socioeconomic factors of poverty, alienation, and the ridiculously wide availability of firearms. It is also a product of the militarization of law enforcement in the US, to the point where police departments are today more akin to armies of occupation than institutions concerned with protecting the public. But what it does reflect is the lack of awareness on the part of a President who, as with his predecessors, has taken every opportunity to lecture the rest of the world on issues of democracy, human rights, international law, and good governance. Given Washington's record when it comes to all of those things, this has been like repeatedly being told to sit up straight by the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Barack Obama's final address to the United Nations General Assembly revealed that the wall he should be most concerned about is the wall of mythology behind which a country fed on a diet of its own exceptionalism continues to exist.

Nationwide Carbon Tax Set To Become A Reality

Submitted by IWB, on September 1st, 2016

 

by Sean Adl-Tabatabai 

Exxon has been lobbying Congress to institute a nationwide carbon tax since 2009, and it looks like their lobbying is about to pay off.

This corporate policy became public after a 2009 speech by their CEO, Rex Tillman. Recently, Judges from Minnesota and Washington have lent credence to the public costs (health and pollution) of burning fossil fuel.

Electrek.co reports:

Is a Federal Carbon Tax coming to the USA? The answer can be surmised in one point: Exxon has been lobbying Congress to institute carbon regulation. This corporate policy became public after a 2009 speech by their CEO, Rex Tillman. Recently, Judges from Minnesota and Washington have lent credence to the public costs (health and pollution) of burning fossil fuel. While California’s cap and trade program flounders, critics are calling for a simpler, direct carbon tax. And in December of 2015 a bill was introduced in Congress which laid out clear carbon tax pricing through 2035. That bill,S.2399 – Climate Protection and Justice Act of 2015, is stuck in committee. As our consciousness of climate change transforms into new policies,  two important questions emerge: What form of carbon tax will most effectively meet our goals of long term species sustainability and why is Exxon advocating  a certain version?

Some cold water first: S.2399 – Climate Protection and Justice Act of 2015 seems to have a low probability of moving forward in our current political climate. In June of this year the GOP explicitly voted against a carbon tax during a platform discussion. The non-binding resolution was titled, “Expressing the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy.”

 

This title aligned with a comment from Koch Industries’ top lobbyist, Philip Ellender, “A carbon tax would make energy more expensive and in turn raise the costs of consumer products and services on which people depend.” While Exxon purports to advocate for a  carbon tax, decades of lobbying against climate science have raised some red flags.

Exxon has long factored some form of a shadow carbon price into its manufacturing and exploration costs. This number has risen to $80/ton in some areas. Some scientists believe the cost should be greater than $200/ton today. It is highly likely to cost more than $200/ton to keep the planet’s CO2 levels under 450ppm in 2050 according to even document published by Exxon (see above). We’re currently averaging greater than 400 ppm and peaking greater than 408 ppm. 350 ppm of carbon dioxide is what much science says will stabilize our atmosphere in patterns similar to what civilization developed in.

Of course, Exxon is not the only company to have considered how the price of carbon in their business processes will affect their bottom line. Formerly known as the ‘Carbon Disclosure Project‘, the UK based CDP collaborates with 435 major corporations to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. The companies range from toolmaker Stanley Black & Decker to the Brazilian mining company Vale.

The evidence in British Columbia supports a carbon tax. Fuel consumption in BC is down 16% (2008-2014) while overall Canadian fuel use rose 3%. Revenue-neutral carbon tax law means every dollar paid in carbon taxes is deducted from income (or other) taxes. BC is now home to the lowest personal income tax rate in Canada, and a corporate tax rate ranking among the best in North America.

Economists (some with caveats), Exxon, and Elon Musk have all expressed that a specific version of the carbon tax – revenue neutral – is the best way to push consumers toward cleaner purchasing habits without hurting the broader economy.

Musk astutely compared CO2 emissions to garbage collection. We happily pay to remove garbage to mitigate the damage that it does do to society. Greenhouse gases are certainly a type of garbage. Conversely, garbage releases a lot of greenhouse gas, so this metaphor will probably keep working even if you’re easily confused.

The current legislation in Congress, S.2399, is not revenue neutral. The document lays out plans to support the poor – generally those most impacted by climate change, and for grants focused on climate mitigation projects such as;

(i) climate impact disaster adaptation and planning; (ii) wetland restoration; (iii) mine reclamation; (iv) a seawall, levee, or other coastal flood mitigation effort; (v) the development of— (I) a community evacuation plan; (II) resources for safe and complete evacuation; (III) a community plan for returning after an evacuation; or (IV) a plan and funding for the relocation of Indian tribes in the event of a climate impact disaster; (vi) brownfields redevelopment; (vii) rural water and waste disposal; (viii) lead and asbestos hazard reduction in homes with high flood, hurricane, or sea level rise exposure risk; (ix) flood mapping, planning, and adaptation; (x) public transportation; (xi) vehicle traffic emissions exposure reduction; (xii) a road or bridge that facilitates disaster evacuation; (xiii) a local food cooperative or market; (xiv) public sewage; (xv) broadband Internet; (xvi) a microgrid; (xvii) air conditioning units for low-income housing; or (xviii) emergency communication infrastructure;

And now we reach the real question – why would Exxon support a carbon tax publicly (even while financially supporting those who vote and campaign against it)?

• Public Relations
• To counter Attorney General RICO investigations
• Exxon’s products (natural gas) are less affected by carbon taxes than the competition (coal)
• Avoiding the real price
• To influence the negotiation processes regarding climate change action

Public Relations: The simplest idea is that Exxon wants good PR. With 56% of Republicans stating that they believe the climate is warming, (up from 40% just five years ago), Exxon and every other company will need to be conscious of their greenhouse gas  production. 74% of Millennials say thatsustainability is a shopping priority. 51% of the global population believes that climate change is already harming people – this number will only increase. Many companies this author works with report that they’re having to refine their business practices and communicate these practices to the general public to keep business growth consistent.

RICO Investigation: When the tobacco industry was fined many billions of dollars, it was for the crime of organizing as a group (RICO) to mislead the public on the health consequences of smoking cigarettes. Once it became common knowledge that cigarettes were bad for your health, those who made the choice to continue smoking were to bear their own consequences – but before a certain time, misdoubt had been strategically distributed and the tobacco companies were liable.  A similar logic has arisen with fossil fuels. If you choose to buy a car that runs on gasoline or a hospital on natural gas, it is not the fault of an energy company for providing a fundamentally important product – but to have your technology choices limited due to a global misinformation campaign is a crime. We now have proof that Exxon paid third parties to manipulate public perception of fossil fuel’s effect on the climate, while having known for 40 years that climate change was real and caused by fossil fuels. A large number of State Attorney Generals are binding together to investigate Exxon on these charges.  One motive for Exxon’s preemptive defense against future litigation is clear.

Product Type: Exxon makes significant amounts of profits from the sales of natural gas. Natural gas is a direct competitor with coal, a product that Exxon has no interest in. According the the EIA, natural gas generates 41% less CO2 for each kWh of electricity produced compared to coal. A carbon tax of $80/ton will add $.08/kWh to a single kWh of coal-generated electricity versus $0.03/kWh for a similar volume of natural gas electricity. The long-term financial viability of the struggling coal industry is already questionable – adding $0.08/kWh to your electricity bills will end that viability. Exxon’s hundreds  of billions of dollars of investments in natural gas would remain profitable at their current all-time low prices.

Avoiding the real cost: The IMF calculates that fossil fuels are receiving $5.3 TRILLION in subsidies and ignored externalities (direct and indirect support) every single year. Researchers believe air pollution as a result of burning fossil fuels leads to greater than 5.5 million deaths per year. Estimates of the potential costs of unmitigated climate change are 20% of the global economy by 2100 – every year. No industry can pay all of these costs – let alone a single company – but by shaping the policy debate Exxon can push the responsibility elsewhere for longer.

Control: If you are not at the negotiating table, your interests will be ignored. The reality of Exxon’s 2009 carbon tax coming out party is that Exxon needed to defend itself against the Federal Government’s consideration of a cap and trade program. Exxon has stated that if they are to be regulated, then this regulation ought be in a consistent and easily manageable format – a single, centralized national format.

Currently, Exxon must delve into regulations of 50 unique, sometimes aggressive, state markets plus the federal level on top of that. This adds significant cost overhead versus a simple one rule system to follow. Additionally, if the federal government decides to make a program to control the CO2 output – it will subvert the actions of more aggressive state legislative pushes like California and Massachusetts.

Currently,Massachusetts pays an incentive of greater than $0.20/kWh to those who generate electricity via solar power versus fossil fuels. This eats at Exxon’s profits. If there were a national guideline, politicians in states like Massachusetts and California – who are pushing the rest of the country (and world) – would have less power in the eyes of their electorate to make these challenging judgement calls. I currently prefer the healthy ecosystem of many states arguing to determine the bests path forward with our current system allowing for legislative capture with SuperPacs and the like. It is surprising that Exxon doesn’t support the current legislation, S.2399, as the carbon tax price is far below what Exxon has modeled. Supporting this bill would prime the broader population of the United States to accept a rate that is more than 80% below Exxon’s budgeted price – and it would be until 2036, a full 20 years, that the rate would catch up.

The truth of Exxon’s ‘carbon tax’ is not of altruism, but of shrewd business that has little to do with climate change and everything to do with shareholders interests. Exxon’s desire to create market stability and share for itself may help drive a much-needed carbon tax – and if so, let’s take it for a ride. But let us not forget the recent decades of scientific oppression meant to keep shareholders happy at the price of our planet and our health.

The Global Control Grid
Join Dark Journalist for the exciting Part Two Interview of his deep discussion with Former Assistant Housing Secretary and Financial Expert Catherine Austin Fitts. In this fascinating episode Dark Journalist and Former Assistant Housing Secretary Catherine Austin Fitts explore the Transhumanist agenda that covert forces are pursuing to install a global control grid. Is the elite endgame a dismantling of the constitution and a major play for complete dominance by the use of suborbital platforms using invasive satellite surveillance technology?

Transhumanist Depopulation Agenda
Fitts arrives at the conclusion that the transhumanist depopulation agenda extends to mandated vaccines that are linked to autism and the creation of shadow financial system that is engaged in a ‘War on Cash’ and is focused on drawing the public into a control system under the nebulous title ‘The Internet of Things’.

The gradual development of this centralization is reaching a crescendo as the 2016 Presidential contest enters a crucial phase and Neocon Democrat Hillary Clinton attempts to consolidate the Deep State around her candidacy against upstart casino billionaire and TV star Donald Trump.

Shocking, unnerving, informative and inspiring, this is the Dark Journalist episode you need to see to stay one step ahead of the world!

Guest Post: A Message To The Voting Cattle

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/09/2016 19:50 -0500

 

Via The Burning Platform blog,

The following video explains as well as we’ve ever heard, why we should all vote for Candidate Nobody.

 

Here is the video:

 

Of course, not 1 in 20 will listen to a twenty-minute video, even here. So, I transcribed it. And, added some pictures for your viewing pleasure. You should be able to read it in under ten minutes...

*  *  *

You cannot begin to imagine in how many ways the world is the opposite of what you have been taught to believe.

You see the guy who sells drugs to willing customers so he can feed his family as the scum of the earth, while you see the hypocrite who gives away stolen money in the name of government, as a saint.

You see the guy who tries to avoid been robbed by the federal thugs as a crook and a tax cheat, but see as virtuous the politician who gives away the same stolen loot to people whom it does not belong.

You see the cop as a good guy when he drags a man away from his friends and family and throws him in prison for ten years for smoking a leaf  [every 51 seconds in Amerika]. And you see anyone who defends himself from such barbaric fascism as the lowest form of life … a cop-killer. In reality, most drug dealers are more virtuous than any government social worker, and prostitutes have far less to be ashamed of than political whores, because they trade only with what’s rightfully theirs, and only with those who want to trade with them.

The upstanding church-going law-abiding tax-paying citizen who votes democrat or republican, is far more despicable, and a bigger threat to humanity, than the most promiscuous lazy drug snorting hippie. Why? Because the hippie is willing to let others be free, and the voter is NOT. The damage done to society by bad habits and loose morality is nothing compared to the damage done to society by the self-righteous violence committed in the name of the State.

 

You imagine yourselves to be charitable and tolerant when you are nothing of the sort. Even the Nazis’ had table manners and proper etiquette when they weren’t killing people. You think you’re good people because you say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’? You think sitting in that big building on Sunday makes you noble and righteous?

The difference between you and a common thief is that the thief has the honesty to commit the crime himself …. while you whine for government to do you’re stealing for you. The difference between you and the street thug is that the thug is open about the violence he commits, while you let others forcibly control your neighbors on your behalf. You advocate theft, harassment, assault and even murder, but accept no responsibility for doing so.

You old folks want the government to steal from your kids so you get your monthly check. You parents want all your neighbors to be robbed, to pay for your kids schooling. You all vote for which ever crook promises to steal money from other people to pay for what you want.

You demand that those people who engage in behaviors you don’t approve of, be dragged off and locked up but feel no guilt for the countless lives your whims have destroyed. You even call the government thugs ‘your representatives’ and yet you never take responsibility for the evil they commit.

 

You proudly support the troops as they kill whomever the liars in DC tell them to kill and you feel GOOD about it.

You call yourselves Christians or Jews or some other religion but the truth is, what you call your religion is empty window dressing. What you truly worship, the God you truly bow to, what you really believe in, is the State.

Thou shall not steal, though shall not murder, unless you can do it by way of government then it’s just fine isn’t it? If you call it ‘taxation’ and ‘war’ it stops being a sin right? After all, it was only your God that said you shouldn’t steal and murder, but the State said it was OK. It’s pretty obvious which outranks the other in your minds. Despite all the church’s, synagogues’ and mosques we see around us, this nation has one God and only one God and that God is called Government.

Jesus taught non-violence and told you to love your neighbor but the State encourages you to vote for people who will use the violence of government to butt into every aspect of everyone else’s life. Which do you believe?? To those about to stone a woman who had committed adultery, Jesus said ‘let him who is without sin cast the first stone’ but the State says it’s perfectly fine to lock someone up if they do something which you find distasteful, such as prostitution. Which do you believe?

The Christian God says ‘Thou shall not covet’  …. but coveting is the life-blood of the beast that is the State. You were taught to resent, despise, and hate anyone who has what you don’t have, you clamor for the State to tear other people down, steal their property and give it to you, and you call that fairness, the Bible calls it coveting and stealing.

You are not Christians. You are not Jews. You are not Muslims. And you certainly aren’t Atheists. You all have the same God and its name is … Government. You’re all members of the most evil insane destructive cult in history; if there ever was a devil the State is it, and you worship it with all your heart and soul. You pray to it to solve every problem, to satisfy all your needs, to smite your enemies and to shower its blessings upon you. You worship what Nietzsche called ‘the coldest of all cold monsters’ and you hate those of us who don’t. To you the greatest sin is disobeying your God, ‘breaking the law’ you call it. As if anyone could possibly have any moral obligation to obey the arbitrary commands and demands of the corrupt lying delusional megalomaniacs who infest this despicable town.

Even your Ministers, Priests and Rabbi’s, most often than not, are traitors to their own religions, teaching that the commands of human authority should supersede adherents to the laws of the Gods they say they believe in.

Several years ago I heard one pompous evangelical jack-ass in particular, pontificating on the radio that anyone who disobeys the civil authority be it a King or any other government, is ‘engaging in rebellion against God’. Those were the exact words he used. What if the government is doing something wrong? Well this salesman for Satan opined ‘that is the business of those in government and you are still obligated to obey’.

Everywhere you turn be it the State or the church, the media or the schools, you are taught one thing above all else, the virtue of subjugating yourselves to mortals who claim to have the right to rule you. It is sickening the reverence in which you speak of the liars and thieves whose feet are so firmly planted on your necks. You call the congressmen and the judges ‘Honorable’ and you swoon at the magnificence of the grandiose halls they inhabit, the temples they built to celebrate the domination of mankind.

You feel pride at being able to say you once shook a Senators hand, or saw the President in person. Ah, yes! The grand deity himself, his royal highness … the President of the United States of America! You speak the title as if you’re referring to God Almighty. The vocabulary has changed a bit but your mindset is no different from that of the groveling peasants of old, who bowed low faces in the dirt with a feeling of unworthiness and humility when in the presence of whatever narcissist had declared himself to be their rightful lord and master.

The truth of the matter back then and today, is that these parasites who call themselves leaders are not superior beings. They’re not great men and women. They’re not honorable. They’re not even average.

The people who earn an honest living — from sophisticated millionaire entrepreneurs to illiterate day laborers doing the most menial tasks you can imagine — those people deserve your respect. Those are people you should treat with courtesy and civility. But, the frauds who claim the right to rule you and demand your subservience and obedience, they deserve only your scorn and contempt.

 

Those who seek so-called high office are the lowest of the low. They may dress better have larger vocabularies and do a better job of planning out and executing their schemes, but they are no better than pickpockets, muggers and car-jackers. In fact they are worse, because they don’t want to rob of just your possessions, they want to rob you of your very humanity, deprive you of your free will by slowly leeching away your ability to think, to judge, to act, reducing you to slaves in both body and mind. And still you persist in calling them leaders. Leaders?? Where is it that you think you are going exactly that would require you to have a leader?

If you just live your own life and mind your own damn business, exercising your own talents, pursuing your own dreams striving to be what you believe you should be, what possible use would you have for a leader? Do you ever actually think about the words that you hear, the words that you repeat? You parrot oxymoronic terms such as ‘leader of the free world’.

Even pretending for a moment that there’s some huge journey or some giant battle, that everyone in the entire nation is undertaking together that would require a leader … why would you ever think even for a moment, that the crooks that infest this town are the sort of people you should listen to or emulate or follow anywhere? Somewhere within your mostly dormant brains you know full well that politicians are all corrupt liars and thieves, opportunistic con-men, exploiters and fear-mongers. You know all this, and yet you still speak as though you are the ones who are the stupid vicious animals, while the politicians are the great wise role models, teachers and leaders, without whom civilization could not exist.

You think these crooks are the ones that make civilization possible? What belief could be more absurd, yet when they do their pseudo-religion rituals, deciding how to control you this week, you still call it law, and continue to treat their arbitrary demands as if they were moral decrees from the Gods, that no decent person would ever consider disobeying. You have become so thoroughly indoctrinated into the cult of State worship that you are truly shocked when the occasional sane person states the bleeding obvious.

The mere fact that the political crooks wrote something down and declared their threats to be law, does not mean that any human being anywhere has the slightest moral obligation to obey. Every moment of every day in every location and every situation, you have a moral obligation to do what YOU deem to be right, not what some delusional bloated windbag says is legal … and that requires you to first determine right and wrong for yourself, a responsibility you spend much time and effort trying to dodge.

You proclaim how proud you are to be law-abiding citizens and express your utter contempt for anyone who considers themselves ‘above’ your so-called ‘laws’ … laws that are nothing more than the selfish whims of tyrants and thieves.

The word crime once meant ‘an act harmful to another person’, now it means ‘disobedience to anyone of the myriad of arbitrary commands coming from a parasitical criminal class’. To you the word ‘crime’ is merely synonymous with the word ‘sin’; implying that the ones whose commands are being disobeyed must be something akin to Gods, when in truth they are more akin to leeches.

The very phrase ‘taking the law into your hands’ perfectly expresses what a sacrilege it is in your eyes for a mere human being to take upon himself the responsibility to judge right from wrong and to act accordingly, instead of doing what you do, unthinkingly obeying whatever capricious commands this cesspool of maggots spews forth.

You glorify this criminal class as law-makers, and believe that no one is lower than a law-breaker, someone who would dare disobey the politicians, likewise you speak with pious reverence of law-enforcers, those who forcibly impose the politicians every whim on the rest of us. When the State uses violence you imagine it to be inherently righteous and just, and if anyone resists, they are in your eyes, contemptible low lives, lawless terrorist criminals.

Like the lawless terrorist criminals who helped slaves escape the plantation. Like the lawless terrorist criminals who helped Jews escape the killing machine of the Third Reich. Like the lawless terrorist criminals who were crushed to death under the tanks of the Red Chinese government in Tienanmen Square. Like all the lawless terrorist criminals in history who had the courage to disobey the never ending stream of tyrants and oppressors who have called their violence ‘authority’ and ‘law’.

Everything you think you know is backwards, upside down and inside out, but what takes the cake, the height of your insanity, is that fact that you view as violent terrorists, the only people on the planet who oppose the initiation of violence against their fellow man, Anarchists, Voluntaryists and Libertarians. We use violence only to defend ourselves against someone who initiates violence against us. We use it for nothing else.

Meanwhile your belief system is completely schizophrenic and self-contradictory. One the one hand you teach the young slaves that violence is never the answer, yet out of the other side of your mouths you advocate that everyone and everything everywhere and at all times be controlled, monitored, taxed and regulated through the force of government. In short, you are teaching your children that the masters may use violence whenever they please, but the slaves should never resist. You indoctrinate your children into a life of unthinking helpless subservience. You are putting the chains around their little necks and fastening the lock tight, and worst of all, you feel good about it.

Out of one side of your mouths you condemn the evils of fascism and socialism, and lament the injustices of the regimes of Hitler, Stalin and Mao, while out of the other side of your mouths you preach exactly what they did —- the worship of the collective, the subjugation of every individual to that evil insanity that wears the deceptive label ‘the common good’.

You babble on and on about diversity and open-mindedness then beg your masters to regulate and control every aspect of everyone’s lives, creating a giant herd of unthinking conformist drones. You wear different clothes and have different hairstyles and you think that makes you different, yet all your minds are enslaved to the same club of masters and controllers. You think what they tell you to think and you do what they tell you to do while imagining yourselves to be progressive, thinking and enlightened.

From your position of relative comfort and safety you now condemn the evils of other lands and other times, while turning a blind eye to the injustices happening right in front of you. You tell yourself that had you lived in those other places, in those other times, you would have been among those who stood up against oppression and defended the down-trodden. But, that is a lie. You would have been right there with the rest of the flock of well-trained sheep, loudly demanding that the slaves be beaten, that the witches be burned, that the non-conformists and rebels be destroyed.

How do I know this? Because that is exactly what you are doing today, today’s injustices and oppressions are fashionable and popular, and those who resist them, you tell yourselves, are just malcontents and freaks, people whose rights don’t matter, people who deserve to be crushed under the boot of authority, isn’t that right? You bunch of spineless unthinking hypocrites! Look in the mirror!

Take a look at what you imagine to be righteous and kind – you are the devil’s plaything.The crowds of thousands wildly applauding the speeches of Adolf Hitler – that was YOU. The mob demanding that Jesus Christ be nailed to the cross – that was YOU. The white invaders who celebrated the whole-sale slaughter of those ‘Godless Redskins’ – that was YOU. The throngs filling the Coliseum applauding as Christians were fed to the lions – that was YOU.

Throughout history the perpetual suffering and injustice occurring on an incomprehensible scale, it was all because of people JUST LIKE YOU – the well-trained thoroughly indoctrinated conformists, the people who do as they’re told, who proudly bow to their masters, who follow the crowd believing what everyone else believes and thinking whatever authority tells them to think, that is YOU.

And your ignorance is not because the truth is not available to you, there’s been radicals preaching it for thousands of years. No, you are ignorant because you shun the truth with all your heart and soul. You close your eyes and run away when a hint of reality lands in front of you. You condemn as extremists and fringe cooks those who try to show you the chains you wear, because you don’t want to be free, you don’t even want to be human.

Responsibility and reality scare the hell out of you so you cling tightly to your own enslavement and lash out at any who seeks to free you from it, when someone opens the door to your cage you cower back in the corner and yell “Close it! Close it!!”.

Well some of us are finished with trying to save you, we’ve wasted enough effort trying to convince you that you should be free, all you ever do is spout back what your masters have taught you, that being free only leads to chaos and destruction, while being obedient and subservient leads to peace and prosperity.

There are none so blind as those who will not see, and you, you nation of sheep, would rather die than see the truth.

UN Deputy Chief: 2030 Agenda’s Promise Of Well-Managed Migration And Mobility Must Become A Reality

Written By: UN News Centre March 4, 2016

TN Note: The UN has been the source of open-border policies in Europe and in the United States. Trilateral Commission member Peter Sutherland, who is also Special Envoy to the UN on Immigration, states that a prerequisite for Sustainable Development is a “multicultural society.” In other words, the kind of society that is happening in Europe right now. The UN calls this “well-managed migration” and mobility. Now that Europe is on the verge of collapse because of rampant immigration, the UN calls for more of the same to “fix” their problems. Yes, it is an insane policy any way you look at it. 

The promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is that well-managed migration and mobility will benefit migrants and their families as well as countries of origin and destination, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General said today, urging Member States to work together to “make sure this promise becomes a reality.”

“I cannot recall a time when the issue of mass displacement, refugees and migratory movements was as high on the agenda of the international community as it is today,” Mr. Eliasson told the 2016 International Dialogue on Migration, a two-day event organized at Headquarters by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and focused on the 2030 Agenda and its landmark Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

‘The Numbers Speak for Themselves’

He said the number of international migrants who reside outside their country of birth or citizenship had risen from some 170 million in 2000 to nearly 250 million in 2015 – an increase of 41 per cent. Seven out of every 10 international migrants reside in high-income countries.

“Without migration, the population of Europe would have fallen in the past 15 years. Generally, we need to recognize what migrants and refugees contribute to our societies. We have an obligation to counter the negative narrative characterizing the present public discourse,” said Mr. Eliasson.

He went o note that more than 60 million people are currently displaced – the highest figure since the end of the Second World War. This includes 20 million refugees, which means that eight out of every 100 international migrants are now refugees. The large majority of these refugees are hosted by developing countries.

Bolster Human Rights; Prevent and Resolve Conflicts

The differing narratives of migrants and refugees have some very important points in common, Mr. Eliasson said, underscoring that irrespective of the motives people have for crossing international borders, all migrants have basic human rights. Further, migrants and refugees increasingly move together as part of mixed migratory flows.

“In the absence of channels for safe, orderly and regular migration, as stated in SDG 10, target number 10.7, smugglers and traffickers exact obscenely high fees and often take advantage of the migrants and refugees. Ultimately, “we must do more to prevent and resolve conflicts which give rise to forced displacement. Syria is the most blatant case in point.”

“We must also deliver on the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals to leave no one behind. We must improve the conditions for a life of dignity and fulfilment at home. We must reduce inequalities, and promote peaceful and inclusive societies,” Mr. Eliasson emphasized, adding that all refugees are protected from forcible return by 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees.

Humanitarian Financing and Ensuring ‘No One is Left Behind’

Against this backdrop, there is a pressing need to increase humanitarian financing. The Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Humanitarian Financing has made proposals which will be taken further at the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul 23-24 May, he said, urging governments to ensure high level attendance at the first-ever Humanitarian Summit, “placing the human being in the centre.”

Recalling that earlier this month at an informal meeting of the UN General Assembly on follow-up to the 2030 Agenda, he had presented several conditions for success, Mr. Eliasson said they equally applied to preparations for the High-Level meeting of the General Assembly on 19 September on large-scale refugee and migratory movements.

They were: leadership as Member States and other actors must be fully committed to develop predictable and equitable responses to mass population movements; ownership; partnerships; and collaboration, as a global approach at the United Nations must be complemented by regional and national contributions.

With this in mind he noted that as many countries are struggling to deal with issues of displacement, migration and refugees, the UN must not remain on the sidelines. And while the issues are complex, that would not prevent the Organization from developing responses, searching for solutions, identifying good practices, and putting well financing systems and institutions in place.
