There is some speculation that Khan was Tartarian. Not sure how that would interplay w this theory but I think *everything* we learned is worth revisiting.
Having only recently discovered your work, your Substack is now one of my favorites. This great breakdown of how far we've technologically 'progressed' is an example of why.
Living in Japan, I recalled the Japanese 'Kagemusha' (body doubles) for warlords, so in doing a Perplexity Pro search, I found China is even more historically documented for using doubles in a similar way, as clones are being described here.
Some more recent examples surprised me ... Clifton James, the double for British World War II Commander Bernard Montgomery, "Rashid" and Felix Dadaev for Joseph Stalin, and Ella Slack for Queen Elizabeth.
However, as your post points out, not only is there a qualitative difference in technological capacity, but the power dynamics have weaponized predatory deception in a new way, with some old evolutionary counterparts in wildlife that come to mind, such as the brood parasitism of the cuckoo.
Despite our capacity for abstraction and technology, human nature is not so far removed from animal nature. Our conceit of collective narcissistic exceptionalism tries so hard to convince us that culture and society are more than a thin veneer.
But I suspect the prepper '72 hour rule' implies a countdown to the displacement of culture and law with the morality of dog-eat-dog, law-of-the-jungle.
Now why am I not surprised to see you here? A rather high soaring beast with sharp eyes? We both must be spending a lot of time hunting for something nutritious.
Cheers buddy, and looking forward to sharing our observations of the jungle.
Hey Steve, I am not surprised to see you here either. Although I still get Dean Scolville's post, I am blocked from offering any comments because reality tells me that the Government delegating me $311.00 a month to live on is extinction by attrition. They love their economic controls to the detriment of any and all dissenting opinions. I don't enjoy having to ask for knowledge for free because I know how much work goes into these researches, but when you are deprived of both choices and agency, there's not much left for me but to hope everybody else does not go behind a paywall, which from my understanding, is set up by Substack by default.
I hear you about the default settings on Substack. I still receive and read a handful of newsletters from those who unwittingly depend on that setting, and those who consciously choose to erect a paywall for further reading or the privilege of commenting. And I identify with your frustration.
I am also on a fixed income that is depreciating by the day, and that paywall, rather than inspiring me to up my game, only raises my awareness of one of the reasons for the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots. Besides, I was never good with those 'you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours' relationships. Now with my eyes on the clock of my own mortality, I prefer transformational relationships to business transactions.
No family, and only marginally connected to the local community here in Japan, I feel a bit like the homeless that I used to help out during my tenure of 'Community Outreach' activities. Only now, I am on the receiving end of the bread line.
The best I can do is buy a cup of coffee for someone now and then, so those walls tell me something else about the writer's attitude to their readers ... those who see their work as a potentially profitable commodity, or those who share their voice as leaders of a community or a voice of conscience — and their faith in the long game.
I still believe a public forum is qualitatively different from a one-way preacher's pulpit or vanity press ... and one of the better tools for addressing the life-and-death struggle of preserving the best in humanity.
Ooo ... I see we both follow Kathleen Devanney. If I haven't mentioned her to you, another I trust, and who trusts in the quality of her own work enough to not distinguish between haves and have-nots, is Mary Poindexter McLaughlin.
Kathleen's latest post is a funny and hopeful mirror-image of Joshua's essay above. Which reminds me, I need to send her a note.
Cheers Clyde.
Its good to meet you again in yet another shared community.
The thing that the humans sick in the head enough to clone beings is that even though they might claim to be able to "upload" consciousness to the clone, it won't have a soul. I truly believe that we are physical embodiments of souls. But the question becomes this: What if cloning has been going on for decades and the so-called NPCs are precisely those clones without souls?
Yep, great question. Whether it's literal clones or people whose consciousness has been systematically dulled through fluoride, glyphosate, mRNA, bluelight, and decades of MKUltra-descended programming, the result looks the same. Something is missing behind the eyes.
Pedo island was the mechanism... the real story is Zorro Ranch, IMHO.
I've been very clear that I've interwoven AI tools into my workflow for research, fact-checking, and copy editing (along w my friend who helps here too). FWIW, I have real concerns about where it all goes, but the connections and conclusions are all from my (very human and often flawed) brain. The links should speak for themselves.
While I personally do not use the technology for my writing, I have no beef with those that do and let their readers know upfront. It’s the people that use generative A.I. to write their articles but give their readers the impression they wrote the articles themselves ( like those behind the Substack publications “lies are unbekoming”, “alilybit” and “agy the buffalo herbalist”) that I have an issue with.
As an author that is witnessing the book market being flooded with chatGPT and Britgheon ai generated “books” where people put their name behind the books as though they wrote it with no mention of “ai assistance” (when it took them about thirty minutes prompting) this is something that impacts me personally.
I spent five years experimenting, researching , engaging on hands on learning, trial and error and writing my first book and now I see that my book is sitting on the shelf in bookstores with chatbot generated facsimiles that combine the works of 10 different authors on gardening, seed saving or food forest design in a matter of minutes and spit out a pretty looking book that draws in (an increasingly undiscerning population’s) attention. I have purchased a number of the ai generated books and found them to be full of serious errors, totally nonsense invented words, hallucinated historical references and dangerous advice for foraging, food preservation, herbalism and other food related topics.
Well I could keep on ranting but I think you get my stance on this and again I appreciate your forthrightness.
I hear you on bad information, but to me that's not about how it's generated. Google is dangerous. The textbooks I grew up learning from were mostly bullshit - and incidentally, published by Ghislaine Maxwell's father: https://x.com/jstylman/status/1808979501625352289
I do respect your position a lot, though from my vantage point the tools are just tools - like any tech, it's about how we wield them and whether they're centralized or not.
I'm far more interested in the ideas than who or what the messenger is... especially in a world that's revealing itself to be increasingly a mirage. I share here and elsewhere to vent, explore, and find community with others looking for the same. Though I'd prefer to have these conversations in real life over a campfire and/or a cold beer :-)
Thanks for further elaborating on your views of Generative A.I. And its use in research and writing.
I agree that google is a toxic mind warping social engineering/ behaviour modification platform. I touched on Alphabet Corp’s weaponization of Wikipedia and google in this post:
I also agree that the government public school and university text books people assume contain the gospel truth are often full of lies and half truths (either based on stagnating ignorance or specifically designed to perpetuate the status quo).
Are you familiar with the Prussian education model and how it was applied in the US, Canada, the UK and many other nations ?
I always asked questions about the textbooks that teachers did not like, got me in a lot of trouble in school, they wanted the curriculum to be treated like dogma, I refused and began an autodidactic path of learning instead.
Text books may be often garbage but there is also an ocean of literature available written by original, honest , humble, inquisitive, perceptive and sometimes genius authors that will teach you more than any LLM ever could.
For instance, these are some of the books I was reading and referencing as I wrote my first book:
Knowing whether or not you can trust a book requires developing one’s God given sense of discernment, intuition and also vetting authors and sources but the result from reading books you can trust is a depth of understanding that no generative ai summary can ever provide.
LLM summaries of books can distort info via weak and inaccurate summaries or flat out “hallucinate” totally nonsense info and people read it and assume it is accurate (polluting their minds). Also, it is worth pondering why everyone is in such a rush to hurry through gaining knowledge now a days, always looking for shortcuts, racing around, where are they trying to get in such a hurry? Are they in a hurry to get to a smart city utopia where robots do all the hard work for them?
Slowing down to read a whole book on a subject (or even just a pertinent chapter) nourishes the brain in a way that discombobulated tidbits and factoids cannot.
You described the tech as just a tool, but what about the impacts heavy use of that tool can have on cognitive function and memory retention for humans?
As a sort of joke and fun experiment I got the Brighteon AI to write this book on the subject for me (linked in the note below) and considering your view of the tech, I would value your honest feedback:
What are your thoughts on the dead internet theory and how in an online space that is more than half bot traffic now, and an increasingly LLM dominated book market, soon all the references and ideas you get presented to you by an LLM will just be regurgitated previously LLM generated content (with all of the genuine and original ideas produced by humans having been squeezed out of the market and internet by algorithms)?
In other words, if we stop supporting real human authors and instead just access the information from their books via the scrapings of LLMs for free, eventually there will be zero impetus for authors to publish new books, and all your LLM will be producing is double regurgitated LLM summaries of old books (sort of like a dog eating its own vomit and puking it back up again).
With regards to describing current forms of A.I. as “just a tool”.
That description of technology as a neutral “tool” is true for some things, but I also think that there is truth in much of what Derrick Jensen discusses in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImbnWSkqfig
Some technologies have an intrinsic characteristic embedded within the way it influences human psychology which drive human society towards increasingly authoritarian, exploitative and totalitarian expressions of human behavior.
There may be a form of machine intelligence that lends itself to regenerative, ethical and decentralized empowerment of human beings, however, so far, everything I have seen this technology do in influencing humans is leaning in the opposite direction.
Sometimes, the allure of the convenience of an inherently degenerative technology drives us to grasp at straws to continue to justify its use.
Firstly, dependance on the technology itself for research and writing has been shown to harm cognitive function and lower IQ
I see the A.I. Data centers that are proliferating at an extreme rate here in Canada and in the US resulting in deforestation, destruction of salmon habitat, displacing indigenous people from their traditional territory, poisoning water and causing droughts. ( for examples and data : https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-200387727 )
So while it may be a tool, it appears that this tool is, in many , if not the majority of cases, bringing out the worst in people.
Lastly, I often get people telling me how I should use a.i. because it offers efficient shortcuts and lets you do things so much faster and with less steps. In the interest of pondering the prioritization of expediency and short cuts above all else, I pose the following questions (to you and anyone else reading this) :
If you could have AI and some high tech equipment distill all the nutrition you need to be healthy into a pill and you could take that instead of having to prepare meals and eat them, would you?
If you could get an injection that genetically modified you so that you always have good muscle tone without ever having to actually exercise would you?
If you could have a robot do all your house work for you at the push of a button and you would never have to wash another dish would you?
Those would all be efficient “shortcuts” after all.
We live in a time when we are being conditioned to seek out instant gratification, ever increasing convenience and quick fix solutions via high tech, but I can speak from experience in saying that the most meaningful and fulfilling moments in life happen when you slow down in a low-no tech situation and embrace the beauty in every seemingly mundane moment.
Yes, a camp fire and a cold beer is a great example of something no amount of high tech can ever replace. Cheers.
It's EMF based mind control/damage on a mass scale. I know it sounds absolutely insane but please check out some of my articles. They cannot transfer conscience. They can reprogram people's minds remotely.
“The Clone Wars Have Already Begun... Your voice can be stolen... Your face can be perfectly faked...
What is a ‘Clone’ at heart? It is a falseness... the non-authentic... the not-real.
If this state sounds a bit familiar today that’s because it is. We are being subjected to a constant assault of Falsity to supplant, replace, and destroy The Real. The false gods who seek to rule over humanity hate humanity with a passion. First, they seek to destroy and remove as many of us as they can. And secondly... what they don’t destroy – or what They feel They can use and manipulate for Their dark agenda purposes – They will conjure and re-figure and distort to serve Their sickly goals.
Everywhere we turn we see The Authentic being replaced by The Fake... the false... the lies intended to supplant and replace the true. The Dark Powers are not very subtle in what They are doing. They are doing this openly and with full sickly glee secure in the knowledge that there’s nothing we can do about this – and that enough of us will fall for The Fake and come to love and embrace The False that their dark purposes will achieved with the most minimum of effort or difficulty.
Persons and groups who seek to impose the false (in any way or form) upon you start from the dynamic of profoundly disrespecting you... devaluing you... hating you. Anything to dehumanize you. And once you are dehumanized in their demented minds you become fair game in their distorted eyes for any kind of torture and abuse.
There is no end to the lies and falsehoods we are being subjected to. We are all swimming in polluted social and Planetary pool of filth and the unreal. And all of this is quite calculated and deliberate to confuse, de-power, distort, and pollute our bodies, minds, and spirits. And guess what? The Dark Powers have been quite successful in this endeavor based upon the numbers of humanity that have already fully bought into the lies and falsehoods and hideous perversions from Reality. The examples of this today are too numerous to mention – just look anywhere and you’ll likely see something (or many things) that are at heart – false.
And with today’s tools of dangerous and weaponized technologies at the free and unencumbered disposal of the hidden Dark State Lackeys... we are all in for much greater doses of lies and falsehoods and perversities than ever before.
We are not helpless pawns in this sickly game. Use your divinely-inspired and empowered powers of agency and discernment to uncover The True and separate out the lies. Keep your guard up so as to not allow subtle subconscious programming to infect and pollute your mind and spirit.
And as you discern and encounter each lie that you are confronted with during the day... it’s not a bad idea to call that out reflexively in your mind (or with your mouth) and tell the Lie and The Liar to go straight to Hell and stay there.
We were not born to spend our lives being tortured by lies and liars. We were born to discover and love The True. The fact that the Dark Side is making this job tougher just makes our victory sweeter when we refuse to be caught in their Planetary Web of Lies and we continue to live as free, intelligent, discerning souls who are owned and property of no one – and most certainly not of the Dark State Bastards who create this Culture of The False.
Seek Truth. Find Truth. Love the True.. and clutch it to your chest with all your might.
One of the writers of the Bible had us and our Times today in mind when he or she wrote...
“Do not believe every spirit. Put the spirits to the test... tell the difference between the Spirit of truth and the spirit of lies.” (1 John 4).
That was good advice back then. And that is good advice, now and forever.
This article just reminded me of a movie I used to love when I was growing up in the 80s called Anna to the Infinite Power, about a girl that was cloned, and the original woman she was cloned from was in the holocaust. It’s wild reading the entire plot now with open eyes. Just wow. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_to_the_Infinite_Power
My guess is they have indeed been doing it a very long time.
I'm not asking if Biden is a clone, I already know he's not. I don't doubt he could be cloned, but the clone would appear as a baby, and need decades to become useful as a double. Unless he was cloned around the time Biden was born, just to be ready for today. That makes no sense on too many counts to list here. I can easily believe we've seen representations of Biden, either live actors or generated simulations. But unless someone explains how a real clone of Biden could pass for a septuagenarian Biden, that is not in the mix of possible scenarios.
Your assumptions seem valid, but I would have to speculate as to the nature of both the cloning, and/or additives like Progeria. With the advent of gene splicing, it may be possible to advance the physical age of a clone, like they do time lapses on photographs.
I thought of accelerated aging, of course. It comes immediately to mind. But why not mention it in the article, if it's a real technology that would resolve the obvious question I raise? In fact, I've never seen it mentioned as a tool to make human clones useful as doubles, until your post. If the technology exists to turn a baby into an adult in a few years, that's amazing enough to get some attention, and pretty hard to keep under wraps. What about intellectual and cognitive maturation? Even if the body's growth could be supercharged, making the clone into a passable adult behaviorally is an additional, and very challenging hurdle. Admittedly less so when it's Biden we're talking about, but still. And make the clone look 80 years old? That could be done with makeup. But if you're resorting to makeup, why bother with a clone? Just use an actor from the get-go. The clone scenario fails.
I think like Cathy O'Brien stated concerning the "Military Industrial Complex" that they are anywhere between 20 to 50 years advanced of what is coming out publically. So I learned that nobody is above suspicion when it comes to NWO agendas. Satanic eugenicist can keep changing the language up, but they cannot change their actions.
I don't put anything past them. But they don't have unlimited powers. If they did we wouldn't be posting on Substack right now, and the world would be a lot different. We need to think clearly when trying to figure out what's going on. A physical clone of Biden is way down on the list of probable explanations for what we've seen. So far down as to be safely ignored, although perhaps not forgotten entirely if new information surfaces. Which is extremely unlikely. If it's a clone, it's an imperfect one, as many have pointed out the physical discrepancies. So why go to the trouble of producing a clone whose likeness is no closer to Biden's than an actor? And shouldn't a clone's likeness be a better match? An actor explains everything. A clone just raises more and more questions, requiring more and more far-fetched explanations.
Gato Malo was writing about AI forcing people back into The Real, well THIS brings back cowboy philosophy: "i can't talk about something i don't know for sure myself." and makes leaky, cheek-pinching, hugging and spontaneity a "new thing" again.
for example, the way i'd deal with players is to undermine the SCRIPT that women play along even when they KNOW they're being played, by asking one more question-- the one or two that we keep to ourselves out of oddity or perceived politeness. to go "improv" to use theatrical terms and "say yes" by continuing the SCENE.
people who're hustling you will wobble just because of your curiosity and sincerity and not needing/wanting what they're pitching. this is archaic stuff, right? only the greedy get played.
so funny how being an artist and learning all these techniques when used in real life IS the adventure but using them not to play coerce manipulate fool or shame, but to bring UP to one's more interesting self because all benefit, including oneself sooner or later.
just thinking about what to do as an artist in play...
Some years ago there was a British series, The Capture. I remember thinking "If this is a series, it's already being done." Whenever I've mentioned it, all I get are crickets. As for the Biden clone, I'd heard that also. Cinema has been a primer all along and for the most part has worked like a charm. Does Lebensborn ring a bell?
There's a reason for the adage, "Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see. Do that, and you'll be alright."
Your article leads me to think of a creepy thought - what if the mystery dna in the jabs is Epsteins?! Quickest way to spread his seed to the world…
Eeeew!
Omigod! What a horrific thought. Passing on the “hit-with-an-ugly stick” looks would be a crime in and of itself!! 🤯🥴
Maybe this is what was really going on with Genghis Khan?
There is some speculation that Khan was Tartarian. Not sure how that would interplay w this theory but I think *everything* we learned is worth revisiting.
I’ve been talking about this for the last five years: but the normies just’ve rolled their eyes…….. 🙄🙄🙄
Those rows of artificial wombs are straight out of The Matrix. Oh, wait...
"Great" atrticle!!! Thank you for connecting all those dots so well.

Pedo island was the mechanism... the real story is Zorro Ranch, IMHO.
BTW, have you heard of the movie The Island, a film about a human cloning factory? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Island_(2005_film)
Turns out the director, Michael Bay, was just named by an Epstein survivor as being at Zorro Ranch.
https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2026-02-01-a-sealed-universe-south-african-survivorsurvivor-recalls-jeffrey-epsteins-desert/
Bay got his start directing commercials for Victoria's Secret, Les Wexner's company.

Of course, the same Wexner the FBI listed as a co-conspirator in Epstein's operation.

At least one friend mocked me when I wrote this post. I wish I deserved it but sadly, I think this will age well.
Thanks for highlighting these trends and providing all the pertinent links.
I am curious, did you use any generative A.I. when writing the article above?
Thanks, Gavin. The article was a remix of an Instagram story I did a ton of research for the year prior...
https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17872648365088271/
I've been very clear that I've interwoven AI tools into my workflow for research, fact-checking, and copy editing (along w my friend who helps here too). FWIW, I have real concerns about where it all goes, but the connections and conclusions are all from my (very human and often flawed) brain. The links should speak for themselves.
I appreciate the candid and detailed response.
I respect that you are upfront about your use of the technology in your writing.
As I expressed in this post: https://open.substack.com/pub/gavinmounsey/p/non-ai-writers-list
While I personally do not use the technology for my writing, I have no beef with those that do and let their readers know upfront. It’s the people that use generative A.I. to write their articles but give their readers the impression they wrote the articles themselves ( like those behind the Substack publications “lies are unbekoming”, “alilybit” and “agy the buffalo herbalist”) that I have an issue with.
As an author that is witnessing the book market being flooded with chatGPT and Britgheon ai generated “books” where people put their name behind the books as though they wrote it with no mention of “ai assistance” (when it took them about thirty minutes prompting) this is something that impacts me personally.
I spent five years experimenting, researching , engaging on hands on learning, trial and error and writing my first book and now I see that my book is sitting on the shelf in bookstores with chatbot generated facsimiles that combine the works of 10 different authors on gardening, seed saving or food forest design in a matter of minutes and spit out a pretty looking book that draws in (an increasingly undiscerning population’s) attention.

What are your thoughts on the dead internet theory and how in an online space that is more than half bot traffic now, and an increasingly LLM dominated book market, soon all the references and ideas you get presented to you by an LLM will just be regurgitated previously LLM generated content (with all of the genuine and original ideas produced by humans having been squeezed out of the market and internet by algorithms)?
In other words, if we stop supporting real human authors and instead just access the information from their books via the scrapings of LLMs for free, eventually there will be zero impetus for authors to publish new books, and all your LLM will be producing is double regurgitated LLM summaries of old books (sort of like a dog eating its own vomit and puking it back up again).
With regards to describing current forms of A.I. as “just a tool”.
That description of technology as a neutral “tool” is true for some things, but I also think that there is truth in much of what Derrick Jensen discusses in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImbnWSkqfig
Some technologies have an intrinsic characteristic embedded within the way it influences human psychology which drive human society towards increasingly authoritarian, exploitative and totalitarian expressions of human behavior.
There may be a form of machine intelligence that lends itself to regenerative, ethical and decentralized empowerment of human beings, however, so far, everything I have seen this technology do in influencing humans is leaning in the opposite direction.
Sometimes, the allure of the convenience of an inherently degenerative technology drives us to grasp at straws to continue to justify its use.
Firstly, dependance on the technology itself for research and writing has been shown to harm cognitive function and lower IQ
(For more info: https://archive.org/details/chatbotsloweringhuman-iq )
I have also seen how AI is used for genocide in Gaza and how it is being weaponized elsewhere (Palentir AI used to help ICE goons in the US etc):
https://corbettreport.com/the-chicoms-are-coming-quick-close-the-ai-gap/
I see the A.I. Data centers that are proliferating at an extreme rate here in Canada and in the US resulting in deforestation, destruction of salmon habitat, displacing indigenous people from their traditional territory, poisoning water and causing droughts. ( for examples and data : https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-200387727 )
So while it may be a tool, it appears that this tool is, in many , if not the majority of cases, bringing out the worst in people.
Lastly, I often get people telling me how I should use a.i. because it offers efficient shortcuts and lets you do things so much faster and with less steps. In the interest of pondering the prioritization of expediency and short cuts above all else, I pose the following questions (to you and anyone else reading this) :
If you could have AI and some high tech equipment distill all the nutrition you need to be healthy into a pill and you could take that instead of having to prepare meals and eat them, would you?
If you could get an injection that genetically modified you so that you always have good muscle tone without ever having to actually exercise would you?
If you could have a robot do all your house work for you at the push of a button and you would never have to wash another dish would you?
Those would all be efficient “shortcuts” after all.
We live in a time when we are being conditioned to seek out instant gratification, ever increasing convenience and quick fix solutions via high tech, but I can speak from experience in saying that the most meaningful and fulfilling moments in life happen when you slow down in a low-no tech situation and embrace the beauty in every seemingly mundane moment.
Yes, a camp fire and a cold beer is a great example of something no amount of high tech can ever replace. Cheers.
It's EMF based mind control/damage on a mass scale. I know it sounds absolutely insane but please check out some of my articles. They cannot transfer conscience. They can reprogram people's minds remotely.
Feel free to share any relevant links, I'd love to check them out.
Not sure if you've seen it, but I did a 4-part 50k word piece on mind control last spring. Part 3 got into a lot of detail about the methodology, including all the EMF stuff... https://stylman.substack.com/p/mkultra-the-hidden-hand-part-3-the

Excellent piece, thank you. These cloning centers, breeding centers are in the DUMBs.

WOW. just WOW.
“The Clone Wars Have Already Begun... Your voice can be stolen... Your face can be perfectly faked...
What is a ‘Clone’ at heart? It is a falseness... the non-authentic... the not-real.
If this state sounds a bit familiar today that’s because it is. We are being subjected to a constant assault of Falsity to supplant, replace, and destroy The Real. The false gods who seek to rule over humanity hate humanity with a passion. First, they seek to destroy and remove as many of us as they can. And secondly... what they don’t destroy – or what They feel They can use and manipulate for Their dark agenda purposes – They will conjure and re-figure and distort to serve Their sickly goals.
Everywhere we turn we see The Authentic being replaced by The Fake... the false... the lies intended to supplant and replace the true. The Dark Powers are not very subtle in what They are doing. They are doing this openly and with full sickly glee secure in the knowledge that there’s nothing we can do about this – and that enough of us will fall for The Fake and come to love and embrace The False that their dark purposes will achieved with the most minimum of effort or difficulty.
Persons and groups who seek to impose the false (in any way or form) upon you start from the dynamic of profoundly disrespecting you... devaluing you... hating you. Anything to dehumanize you. And once you are dehumanized in their demented minds you become fair game in their distorted eyes for any kind of torture and abuse.
There is no end to the lies and falsehoods we are being subjected to. We are all swimming in polluted social and Planetary pool of filth and the unreal. And all of this is quite calculated and deliberate to confuse, de-power, distort, and pollute our bodies, minds, and spirits. And guess what? The Dark Powers have been quite successful in this endeavor based upon the numbers of humanity that have already fully bought into the lies and falsehoods and hideous perversions from Reality. The examples of this today are too numerous to mention – just look anywhere and you’ll likely see something (or many things) that are at heart – false.
And with today’s tools of dangerous and weaponized technologies at the free and unencumbered disposal of the hidden Dark State Lackeys... we are all in for much greater doses of lies and falsehoods and perversities than ever before.
We are not helpless pawns in this sickly game. Use your divinely-inspired and empowered powers of agency and discernment to uncover The True and separate out the lies. Keep your guard up so as to not allow subtle subconscious programming to infect and pollute your mind and spirit.
And as you discern and encounter each lie that you are confronted with during the day... it’s not a bad idea to call that out reflexively in your mind (or with your mouth) and tell the Lie and The Liar to go straight to Hell and stay there.
We were not born to spend our lives being tortured by lies and liars. We were born to discover and love The True. The fact that the Dark Side is making this job tougher just makes our victory sweeter when we refuse to be caught in their Planetary Web of Lies and we continue to live as free, intelligent, discerning souls who are owned and property of no one – and most certainly not of the Dark State Bastards who create this Culture of The False.
Seek Truth. Find Truth. Love the True.. and clutch it to your chest with all your might.
One of the writers of the Bible had us and our Times today in mind when he or she wrote...
“Do not believe every spirit. Put the spirits to the test... tell the difference between the Spirit of truth and the spirit of lies.” (1 John 4).
That was good advice back then. And that is good advice, now and forever.
For Real.
This article just reminded me of a movie I used to love when I was growing up in the 80s called Anna to the Infinite Power, about a girl that was cloned, and the original woman she was cloned from was in the holocaust. It’s wild reading the entire plot now with open eyes. Just wow. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_to_the_Infinite_Power
My guess is they have indeed been doing it a very long time.
I haven't seen it but now I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
I'm not asking if Biden is a clone, I already know he's not. I don't doubt he could be cloned, but the clone would appear as a baby, and need decades to become useful as a double. Unless he was cloned around the time Biden was born, just to be ready for today. That makes no sense on too many counts to list here. I can easily believe we've seen representations of Biden, either live actors or generated simulations. But unless someone explains how a real clone of Biden could pass for a septuagenarian Biden, that is not in the mix of possible scenarios.
Your assumptions seem valid, but I would have to speculate as to the nature of both the cloning, and/or additives like Progeria. With the advent of gene splicing, it may be possible to advance the physical age of a clone, like they do time lapses on photographs.
I thought of accelerated aging, of course. It comes immediately to mind. But why not mention it in the article, if it's a real technology that would resolve the obvious question I raise? In fact, I've never seen it mentioned as a tool to make human clones useful as doubles, until your post. If the technology exists to turn a baby into an adult in a few years, that's amazing enough to get some attention, and pretty hard to keep under wraps. What about intellectual and cognitive maturation? Even if the body's growth could be supercharged, making the clone into a passable adult behaviorally is an additional, and very challenging hurdle. Admittedly less so when it's Biden we're talking about, but still. And make the clone look 80 years old? That could be done with makeup. But if you're resorting to makeup, why bother with a clone? Just use an actor from the get-go. The clone scenario fails.
I think like Cathy O'Brien stated concerning the "Military Industrial Complex" that they are anywhere between 20 to 50 years advanced of what is coming out publically. So I learned that nobody is above suspicion when it comes to NWO agendas. Satanic eugenicist can keep changing the language up, but they cannot change their actions.
I don't put anything past them. But they don't have unlimited powers. If they did we wouldn't be posting on Substack right now, and the world would be a lot different. We need to think clearly when trying to figure out what's going on. A physical clone of Biden is way down on the list of probable explanations for what we've seen. So far down as to be safely ignored, although perhaps not forgotten entirely if new information surfaces. Which is extremely unlikely. If it's a clone, it's an imperfect one, as many have pointed out the physical discrepancies. So why go to the trouble of producing a clone whose likeness is no closer to Biden's than an actor? And shouldn't a clone's likeness be a better match? An actor explains everything. A clone just raises more and more questions, requiring more and more far-fetched explanations.
I have to concede to your logic. They don't have unlimited powers, but so far I haven't found a limit to their treachery.
Agree 100%. No limit.
Gato Malo was writing about AI forcing people back into The Real, well THIS brings back cowboy philosophy: "i can't talk about something i don't know for sure myself." and makes leaky, cheek-pinching, hugging and spontaneity a "new thing" again.
for example, the way i'd deal with players is to undermine the SCRIPT that women play along even when they KNOW they're being played, by asking one more question-- the one or two that we keep to ourselves out of oddity or perceived politeness. to go "improv" to use theatrical terms and "say yes" by continuing the SCENE.
people who're hustling you will wobble just because of your curiosity and sincerity and not needing/wanting what they're pitching. this is archaic stuff, right? only the greedy get played.
so funny how being an artist and learning all these techniques when used in real life IS the adventure but using them not to play coerce manipulate fool or shame, but to bring UP to one's more interesting self because all benefit, including oneself sooner or later.
just thinking about what to do as an artist in play...
The stronger the slander, the greater the threat. Flak over target, etc.
Some years ago there was a British series, The Capture. I remember thinking "If this is a series, it's already being done." Whenever I've mentioned it, all I get are crickets. As for the Biden clone, I'd heard that also. Cinema has been a primer all along and for the most part has worked like a charm. Does Lebensborn ring a bell?
I always had an aversion to the cabbage patch dolls. Now they seem REALLY disturbing. https://cabbagepatchkids.com/
