Thanks Josh - for the great article and the shout out. If everyone absorbs and interprets the Epstein story according to their million different perspectives and no perpetrators face any consequences, then all that’s left is an even more demoralized and fractured public — a public that will not just accept but beg for the orderly, safe structure of AI-run everything.

Like you, I don’t know what will happen but it feels to me like more of the same, not necessarily a big shift: more resource and power grabs by the global cabal and less ability of the population to decipher, let alone to resist, what is being done to us.

Btw - “black pilled” is the new “conspiracy theorist.” Imho we should proudly own it.

Debbie, thanks for all your fine work with Sasha Latypova. Note my comments above (below?). I think we can win because failure is not an option. The predator class is not a unified bloc at all, and that can serve our purpose. Think rats fleeing a sinking ship. Pay attention to the real meaning of dialectics, wherein the internal contradictions force a rupture and create a condition that is not like what was before.

There is no 4th Estate - the only way the Epstein Class will fall is through crowdsourced journalism.

People like Debbie and Sasha are an inspiration to us all (or at least to me).

If the AUTHENTIC left (not the Fauxi "left) and the AUTHENTIC right (not the neo-con ones) could unite enough and raise funds to buy CNN or other media, think of what fun we could have telling the truth!

Joshua is amazing, happy to finally have another dandy. Life definitely gets “in the way”.

They had to get Conservatives on board for the digital panopticon, and Trump was the perfect vehicle. However!, they also need tech and military integration to keep pace with China (as per James Rosone’s excellent near future military books - he has 20 years spec ops and PMC experience, so he knows more than I do).

.

At least this is how I see things at the moment, and no I’m not close to 100% either!

Its much more than a "big shift" that's coming. A completely new system far worse than Orwell's 1984 has already been constructed.

Amazing memory you have.

I appreciate your willingness to be in the Don't Know, as well as asking the most deeply uncomfortable What If's, and also being willing to ask it all aloud.

I'm a 67yo survivor of long-term child sexual assault in the 60's. However manipulated this whole 'unboxing' of the so-called 'Epstein Files' is (and I'm sure there's manipulation aplenty in endless ways), from my POV as a survivor it signals a tectonic shift in consciousness. Even if 'they' planned for it to be this way (maybe, maybe not).

What I knew to be so (along with at least 1-in-3 other kids) but others couldn't bear to consider is now - somehow - considered at least plausible.

So, yeah - there's a lot to question, to mistrust, to remain skeptical about. Always, not just now.

But that comes with the territory of tolerating things that most people call 'unspeakable', 'unimaginable', 'unfathomable', 'unbelievable' then turn away from.

I understand their sentiments. But living in that bubble carries a kind of passive complicity, or at least being in accord with, those activities. Those crimes.

And guess what? For decades some of us have been saying it *must* be spoken about, *of course* it's believable (it happens all the time, duh), and it's *totally* fathomable (so many plumb those depths of harm!), and FFS yes - it is *finally* believable.

So be it.

Thanks for your part in creating a container in consciousness, in social media, and here in Substack, in which these conversations have become more widely possible.

Joshua Stylman's avatar

Wow, Kavita. Thank you for sharing this.

Your voice carries more weight here than mine does. The fact that what survivors have been saying for decades is finally being heard matters, regardless of how managed the disclosure might be. I'm grateful you're in this conversation.

Kavita's avatar

You're welcome, and thanks for your reply, Josh.

Also wish to my respect for those who endure(d) abuse at an organized / 'curated' level in formal religious / political / elite settings - and who have come forward, speaking of it publicly. Their stories are often challenged partly because the ritualized aspects of their assaults has been less-fathomable for most people, and easier to write-off as 'imagination' or 'false memory syndrome' or 'nutcase'.

There are countless more of us who were harmed in families, by neighbors, while hitchiking-then-detoured (back when we feral kids were hitchhiking at 12yo plus or minus), by store owners, teachers, babysitters, health care 'providers', counselors, and countless others. Our stories were also largely dismissed by whomever we may have told. But many of us did not face stark public scrutiny known to higher profile survivors.

How did it come to be so?

Have children been pawns for adults' sexual / power-over assault since the beginning of ... time?

So many questions. I have some hunches.

I look forward to the time when we are free of the binds tying us to heinous yet common actions which most have been in accord with for so long. When human suffering is no longer nourishment for a pervasive, soulless presence on earth.

Sanity requires grounding -- grounding in something. You can't function on a daily basis questioning absolutely everything. You need a map (think: Jordan Peterson's, "Maps of Meaning") that you know is there, that you can rely on to guide you and help you predict what comes next.

Variations within that map, or slightly beyond it, are acceptable and creative. But sanity requires a fixed point, even if it's a fixed point to venture beyond -- and return to for security.

I can understand why people turn a blind eye to much of what Mr. Stylman writes about. It is too disturbing and disorienting to navigate the world without knowing what is real and unreal, what is up and what is down, what is evil and what is good.

This article was astounding, mind-blowing. But the farther I grope into this vast world of evil and unreality, the closer I get to my garden, my dogs, my books, my music. One also needs human connections, and unless you find a close connection that shares the views outlined here, you risk alienation.

My final thoughts: Unless we return to our tribal origins -- "tribe" being some kind of collectivism, like the Amish, Mennonites, Mormons or Muslims -- we will not survive.

Great text, Debbie. Up to the last paragraph. I could not disagree more.

What is happening on a consciousness level is the exact opposite of tribalism and collectivism. The Age of Aquarius is about sovereignty and individual authenticity. It is not just about becoming independent of government and technological enslavement systems, but about liberating ourselves from our conditionings (and traumas) so that we can ´become ourselves´. Grounded in reality, not in one religion or belief system or another.

Yes, community of ´healed, developed or liberated´ individuals can be a part of the solution. But these wouldn´t be ´tribes´ in the sense that they blindly believe in one book or another, one guru or another. They will be individuals that are not afraid of differences and not afraid to stand alone if their truth or conviction requires that.

It is the development from ´sheep´ to ´lion´. The ability to stand in your own power instead of being afraid ´what other people think´. To neither have your government, your political party, your newspaper telling you what to think or believe, nor have your pastor, or your tribal leader telling you what is true.

Tribal people like that are most easy to control. Change the leader, change the book and ideology, and they all fall in line. Look at how simply changing one Bible with a new one, the Scofield Bible, changed the view that millions of Christians had about Israel. It is THAT easy to control the sheep in a tribe.

While it is easy to idealize the Amish - as there is a lot we can learn from them with regards to their independence from technology including medical ´technology´ - a community that cannot even accept people with a different haircut is not the community of strong authentic individuals that will create the new earth. Yes, it feels safe to be surrounded by people that look the same and believe the same, but that safety is similar to the safety of being protected by a ´benign government´.

Collectivism is EXACTLY what the parasitic elites are trying to create, despite their ´divide and conquer´ strategies that are deployed to get there. Injecting yourself for the ´greater good´ or ´ditching your car to combat climate change´ are, besides the praise of communism and socialism in educational institutions, the clear signs that collectivism is the Orwellian future ´they´ want. They are not part of the solution.

To add to this. History has shown that people feeling identified with tribes has always been the way to create wars and conflict. That is why the cult tries to pit Christians against Muslims. The two largest tribes on the planet. Once they fight each other, instead of the cult and the agenda, it is easy to implement the surveillance state.

I happen to live between the indigenous people in Mexico in the most indigenous state of the country. I also idealized them. Till I started to really get more informed. The intolerance towards anybody not going along with the ´usos y costumbres´, the only right way to do things, in these communities is extreme. People questioning the narrative are excluded faster from the community than those questioning the Covid narrative in 2020 from society.

That is not the solution. Strong authentic individuals that are not afraid of another opinion, haircut or habit, joining forces, physically together or in networks, are.

Actually let me correct some of my posting below. America used to be a "tribe" -- a wonderful melting pot of nationalities that came together under one set of assumptions about freedom, individualism, industry and even, broadly speaking, religion. You will see this "tribe" in action if you read some of the diaries of Americans who traversed the country in the 1840s in covered wagons (see the series, "Covered Wagon Women" for a delightful panorama of Americana).

So I meant the term "tribe" so broadly as to include a nation with shared values, language, culture, etc. When people grouped together as nations there was immense cultural creativity. And these nations were strong enough to accept, even reward eccentricities.

But our sense of America has eroded to the point where no one really knows what it means. And Europe is gone. Hence the examples of "tribal" in my first post.

JDG's avatar

This kind of 'tribe' I can completely agree with.

And yes, polarization and creating different, more narrowly defined 'tribes' is exactly how the globalist try to divide and conquer and implement their agenda.

Pitting groups against each other is an age old strategy. Social media algorithms that show only posts that you agree with, registering with a political party (Dem. or Rep.) and media that represent one political colour only are examples how they divide people.

By not being in contact with people with different ideas and beliefs it is easy to make them the enemy. It is exactly that where I have problems with very homogenous tribes built around a specific religion or narrow cultural identity.

Diane Weber's avatar

Ah, yes. Ayn Rand all the way. What you describe has never occurred throughout history. And, to some extent you describe chaos.

Interesting how we differ: I think the globalists are trying desperately to detach us from our links to other human beings -- family, religion, heterosexual coupling -- so that they can insert the state between us and the biological/historial alternatives. People without roots are far more likely to follow mandates, to do as they are told. And the end result: there is only one relationship left, and that is between the individual and the state. One can be uniquely quirky, eccentric, etc., and still be connected to other human beings and remain in a security zone. We are not supermen, we are frail animals (in the absence of technology), and our psyches and emotional states are even more delicate. The state wishes to disconnect us from those who surround, reassure, and nurture us, so that it will have ultimate power; we will rush to it for protection (hence all of the unmarried liberal women). In my opinion, after living a long time, I see that the strongest, most secure individuals are those anchored in "tribes" -- I use the term "tribe" loosely -- I mean a group that shares values, beliefs, definitions, etc. These groups protect their own.

Look, I get what you are saying. But the truly heroic break-away individuals with courage to buck the system and create something new were always rooted in something to break away FROM. They operated within a cultural context. Creativity is an accretion, an add-on. No one has ever created out of nothing.

You are in ubermensch territory. You do not describe human nature as it actually is; you describe it in idealistic terms, as you would like it to be, or as you see yourself. Please forgive me if I seem offensive. Frankly I had ideas exactly like yours decades ago. Exactly. But experience has shown me a different view of the world. Belief systems are necessary for human survival, even if one deviates occasionally. Otherwise we are either robots, or psychopaths.

JDG's avatar

2. You mention a few other interesting things.

'our psyches and emotional states are even more delicate'

'you are in uebermensch territory'

'you describe human nature in idealistic terms, not as it actually is'

'belief systems are needed for human survival'

I think here you point at something interesting. You seem to take a rather low consciousness (or frequency if you wish) as the standard for human development where I, indeed point to a more elevated consciousness.

While I haven't read Nietzsche and do not know what his definition of uebermensch is, I would disagree my view is that of an uebermensch. This is a development/frequency/consciousness that many people can achieve and which is part of being human, even if it is not the norm.

I agree that mine is a more OPTIMISTIC VIEW. Not per se because I see it all around me, sheepness indeed is the norm, but because of the awakening happening in the sense that more and more people see truths that were impossible to see for most people only 5 or 6 years ago. I include myself here.

If so many people can see a much wider reality and truth than only a short while ago, there should be the possibility to entertain and exchange ideas and opinions that were impossible to even imagine a few years ago. Of course, the ego tends to also grasp at beliefs and opinions and can identify with new ones, but the fact that long-held beliefs are shattered makes the mind more open. Let me give a personal example, only 10 years ago I still believed the mainstream narrative about climate change.

I disagree that BELIEF SYSTEMS are needed for human survival. Belief systems are limitations and belief means you do not know. I used to believe vaccines do no harm, I now KNOW they do. The previous was a belief by a person ignorant and uninformed about the topic, the second a knowing of somebody that informed himself.

Uebermensch territory? I don´t think so.

As for psychopaths, many have very strong belief systems. The Satanic elites not in the least.

What I write about the Age of Aquarius also is that what has not been or is not yet now, can still come. This energy supportive of authenticity and sovereignty has not been there before [or if it has been, it must have been tens of thousands of years ago in a totally different world).

So what can happen now, triggered also by the totalitarian drive of the globalists, can well be beyond what we have seen before.

How many people voted for Trump because they wanted ´no more wars´.

Of course they were deceived, but the fact that so many Americans want no wars anymore shows a huge rise in frequency and consciousness.

These and other developments show me that something more is eventually possible for the human family than a grouping together in a tribe where everyone agrees and believes what they did a 100 years ago.

That said, division, destruction, war, tyranny is probably what comes first, needed to wake up more people to our reality.

1.

Thank you for your reply. There is a lot to unpack here.

I see what you are saying. I think it comes down to how we define 'tribe'.

If you mention a melting pot as the US (in the 1840's) as a 'tribe' I have no issues with that as something to aspire to or go back to with shared values about themes such as freedom and individualism, but no straightjacket of beliefs and do's and don'ts.

My beef is with a less loose definition of 'tribe' based on very strict and limited beliefs and accepted behaviors as well as a strong identification with these beliefs. You mention various religious groups of which I do not know enough from personal experience to comment. Although there is enough in history to see that the collectivism of Islam (as of Christianity) has successfully been used by the 'elites' to create wars and division. A strong identity with a group makes it easy to be manipulated into hating the other group.

As we see now done with religions as well as the outdated left-right dualism.

As said, my reference is with the indigenous people here in Southern Mexico. Despite the plenty of good things I could say (growing their own food, having their own chicken, making their own tortillas, watching the sheep without looking at a smart phone) these are also communities with a lot of alcoholism (more than I have seen anywhere in my life and extensive travels), violence against women and they burn garbage and throw garbage everywhere in nature (while there are containers available to dispose of it more environmentally friendly).

True healing and personal development is difficult when the local society is one of fitting in, religious belief and behavioural codes that haven't changed for centuries.

If people in such tribes appear 'strong and secure', I have a different view and experience. When living in a surrounding where your beliefs are never challenged, you might seem secure. But not being challenged is not the same as being secure or strong. I remember a Buddhist monk in a a Buddhist meditation retreat flipping out because someone stepped outside what was deemed appropriate. When everyone around you behaves within a narrow confine of behaviours nothing gets challenged. Till an outsider does.

Same with my ex-neighbour Yehova Witness who turned out to be rather psychopathic.

I am sure there are plenty of examples to the contrary, but my view is that space for individualization, personal development, authenticity and free thought is key.

You say, "I think the globalists are trying desperately to detach us from our links to other human beings."

I 100% agree. I do not understand why you think we differ here since I did not mention otherwise. It is obvious that the globalists want to destroy the family and diminish human contact. Indeed brainwashing about not having children, abortion, and promoting LGTBQ are all part of that agenda. Inserted beliefs over common sense are the weapons here.

I am all for human contact, but not in the context of narrow belief systems where there is little space for discord or discussion.

I am also not against communities but see another type of community than a tribe with a very limited range of beliefs and behaviours.

Let me copy-paste a text I found about the move from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. To emphasize my main point (and hope).

Individuality and Authenticity

While focused on the group, the Aquarian Age also champions radical individuality. It encourages us to embrace our unique quirks and eccentricities. This era is about breaking free from outdated social norms and traditions and expressing our authentic selves. The emphasis is on being a sovereign individual who chooses to contribute their unique gifts to the collective, rather than conforming to fit in.

Leaving Pisces Behind: The Fading of a Previous Age

To understand where we are going, it helps to know what we are leaving behind. The Age of Pisces, which has dominated the last 2,000 years, was defined by water sign themes: faith, belief, mysticism, and sacrifice. It was the age of the great monotheistic religions, which were built on hierarchical structures, hidden knowledge held by a select few (gurus, priests), and the ideal of martyrdom.

The Piscean era valued faith over empirical proof and emotion over logic. Its structures were top-down, like monarchies and rigid religious institutions. We are now witnessing the slow deconstruction of these systems. Trust in traditional authority is eroding, and people are seeking truth for themselves, a classic Aquarian trait. The shift is from a paradigm of “I believe” (Pisces) to one of “I know” (Aquarius).

To the dysfunctional, Epstein divides and crashes things.

To the normal humans like your son, it's just another story.

The whole thing feels like WWE to me.

Why would Epstein not just go to another state or an island or international waters? Nope he sheep dipped himself in Florida for the street cred.

Then the numerous pictures of him with tons of people in politics and business.

The emails are written in an odd way and why would Epstein or his associates be dumb enough to use plain email which we know is unsecure and easily copied?

It's the old guard being sold out because there's no other way for the predator class to gain our trust.

I'm not worried though, people like your son and my nephew aren't as gullible as we thought.

They might only offer us an inch but we will want a mile

It's good to see these conversations about the unconscionable, and ineffable taking place here is cyberspace, but locally most people turn a dead ear because they have not personally experienced the violence of the system themselves.

Roundball Shaman's avatar

“... Epstein isn’t a one-off sicko... Pull that one thread and the whole tapestry unravels. His network touches everything... It’s endless.... scaffolding on a larger infrastructure... it’s all interwoven.”

Some ‘people’ (actually, beasts) seem born without a conscience. Or maybe they once had one and found that too incompatible with their love for Evil. Evil in some form has always existed. But on this Planet we also have a thing called Evolution. That doesn’t just mean how life forms and physical structures change over time. It also means that a force like Evil takes on new and more potently obscene forms. So the ‘Evil’ part of all this is not new. What IS new is that so many people these days are now so aware of the level and depth of such pervasive evil and that it is so firmly installed in the upper reachers of powers centers and institutions and so many powerful people all over the World.

These beastly life forms hate humanity. They hate it because They do not view Themselves as humans (humans are equivalent in Their demented cosmology to filthy useless animals). They view Themselves as gods over All. Some version of this spiritual deviancy has always existed. This is what the parable of Satan rebelling against God is all about. This is a characterization of the darkness and sickness within the human psyche spewing out with all its toxic insanity… by deranged humans who want to claim godhood for Themselves and against all others and things. These deviants claim to be gods. Yet, they are not even worthy of being called the least bit human.

Regardless of what has and may yet come out – and you can be damned sure that the very worse of this evil will never see the light of day – the worst of the truth of all this is even more deep and depraved than what we see. What can be done when we wont know all the perps who have been involved in this orgy of depravity (for many generations)? No doubt, countless sick individuals will walk away without a scratch (at least until their personal Judgment Day of Karma arrives down the line). There will not be justice in this World on this side of Heaven you can be sure. It’s hard to feel ashamed when you feel you have no shame to give.

Evil is always among us. This demands that The Good must be brought with unwavering vigor, vigilance, and effort. We must with strength and uncompromising resolve incorporate The Good into our thoughts, words, and deeds. We must confront The Evils of this World’s powerful and not-so-powerful with greater force that the strength of the Evil that manifests among us.

What is the answer to living in an Evil, Insane World? Stay committed to The Good and Stay Sane yourself. Confront the evil you encounter in your circle of life and keep yourself clean from its stain and filth. And know that very many of those who claim to have power and seize some false color of authority over You and This World – in fact have – NEITHER.

What can and must happen is that The People of this World completely lose faith and trust in the Powers-That-Be and Their institutions that create, support, and participate in this kind of multi-generation evil and depravity. We can and must lose all respect for the many institutions of this World that have been perverted and toxified by this kind of unbridled human evil at the highest levels of power and influence. THAT is what we can and must do. That is what We the People have in our power. We must learn these lessons no matter how painful and how much they might offend our moral and ethical senses.

Any Social Contact we once may have had with these beasts and Their corrupt institutions has been shattered forever...

And THAT is how even the most profoundness and darkness of Evil can end up contributing to and serving... The Good.

I don't think this is a change in direction for the perps, just them stepping on the accelerator pedal.

They have been headed over a cliff for 500 years. This is just what the cliff looks like.

All their contrived emergencies and entropy driven scientific models have been made to further their enclosure of the commons, which is made necessary by their usury.

They are running into the natural limits of all that, but they just keep going because those that direct them are too old or sick to do otherwise.

They are cracking open like an eggshell, from which a new world will emerge, but it won't be the dark one they imagine.

I would probably have been the last person to subscribe to the following, yet I cannot shake the idea that the time of the Great Battle has come.

It sure isn't the "religious" people bringing it. They will continue to serve the Demiurge.

But for those of us with awareness, it is time to choose your side.

Choose or it will be chosen for you.

When I was younger, I had the inescapable sense that I was "God's Warrior."

I have never been a "religious nut" and it never made sense to me, and I have always dismissed it. Until now.

Never thought I would say these words, but God help us.

Freedom Farmer's avatar

You are not alone in this very specific realization.... right down to the awareness you had early in your life as well as the skepticism of the religious element. My early knowledge wasn't so much of being "God's Warrior;" it was more of knowing that in a past life I was someone who wrought cruelty upon others (I saw things in dreams as a child and was thoroughly confused, to say the least.) and now had to sacrifice EVERYTHING to make up for it. I've always been comfortable with a very non-religious spirituality, which has guided me toward being a better person. But yeah, I've been hiding out for too long--being merely a good neighbor, friend, family member, and stranger to others--and the moment when I put it all on the line is beginning to emerge from the mist.

Having been a 9/11 Truther early on (2003-05 transformation period), I had thought perhaps I was meant to bring the sword to the actual perps; but I'm glad I didn't dash myself against the wall in such pursuits back then; I'm in a much better place now to do constructive things, protect people, help prepare a community for coming upheaval, etc.

Or are we watching a controlled demolition that clears the ground for something worse?

We are living the embodiment of the breakdown of civil society as we once knew it, being prepared for the new age of digitalisation, of one world government, of centric rule, our own real Game of Thrones .. imprisoned as we are intended to be ring fenced in the digital prison they have created, the degeneracy and depravity a signalling of the new rules, an anything goes mindset, way of doing things, a new world exemplified by the machinations this administration, no more being beholden international laws, conventions and norms nor the institutions we had as a means of guiding us, despite their non effectiveness, a non effectiveness resulting the politicisation of these venerable and revered institutions and norms..

In short commensurate the talk of UFO’s, Demons, Satanism especially on open display in recent years every major international event, I mean heck just go back and look at the CERN opening… truly demonic, they are preparing us for the long planned arrival of their god, the antichrist.

Zionist Israel and everything it represents is antithetical in every way to what scripture portends, the treatment of children, those considered most precious and alike god, targeted, not only the depravities we now have been reading about with Epstein, actions of a world that has long plagued us, but also consider the babies in the womb aborted, the numbers in the tens of millions globally per annum, whilst the numbers of trafficked and abused children are not that far behind, in short when all of these acts are overlaid scripture, together the homosexuality, (that’s not to say I disagree with individual lifestyle choice but I am pointing out that which we know occasions now in our society as lifestyle) breakdown of family values, transgenderism, the soft cocking criminality, especially at the upper echelons of society, the more vile the act the greater the reward is as if we live in a world that has become alien, completely to those of us who believe and hold to Christian values …. Overlay everything you know, you have read, you know that is or has happened, is being planned, overlay it to what is acceptable to our creator, his son Jesus Christ and it is manifestly clear that everything being experienced is antithetical, anathema to god, to the strictures of faith based beliefs… as if they are denying god..

In short this is just the beginning, the complete subjugation of man, of our souls is the play… just saying .. in denying god they deny themselves… that we know, we just need to understand, see it for what it is, rise up against it… in short we must ensure ours, our loved one’s souls remain ours… not given up to anyone or anything, hold the faith, the line…. Your belief… just saying

Indeed. As you attest, we have been exhausting to others in our redpill efforts. Many do not want to hear it; sometimes, even our loved ones. Why is it that we’ve been able to bear this journey, and they don’t even want to start on it? I suspect a large part of it has to do with the current stresses and strains surrounding us. People just want a sense of normalcy. They want to go back to 2019 when life seemed to make sense. We were the innocents who had no idea this mayhem was about to blindside us. I have a photo of a birthday gathering with three other friends in January, 2020. You can see it on our faces: carefree, joyous, innocent.

I think many of us are stunned that no one seems to be talking about this. It’s all about the Guthrie affair, or the Olympics, or ongoing tragedies. How come we overlook the story of the century? Of course, it is the mainstream media, the directors of our thoughts. If they’re not talking about it, it must not be real. I have even talked to people that I talked to perhaps five years ago about the atrocities, and when I mention it they look at me with a blank look as if they’ve never heard it before.

It seems few of us have answers as to how this plays out - and even less a crystal ball.

As an addendum, what struck me, interestingly, is part of the narrative at the beginning of the article: your children are in school. I don't understand it. We adults who have been wading in this filth for 5 or 10 years or more have power to shelter ourselves and surround ourselves with like-minded people, yet some choose to toss their children into that boiling cauldron, and hope that they will be strong, that they will be leaders, hoping they will change the tide of affairs in a totally corrupt school system. I am trusting that somehow your children are in a solid Christian school, where values virtues, and morals are inculcated daily.

Our media was destroyed by Epstein compromised Bill Clinton (and congress) when he signed the Telecom Act of 1996. Our media is the biggest problem we face in America and the West, but zionists and Marxists have taken it over and are waging a very successful unconventional war on the rest of us.

Yes ,yes, yes, yes!!

I have been saying that for decades.

The MSM needs to be hobbled at the knees.

Hopefully, the Donald is on it.

Mark Hopkins's avatar

If you want to 'hobble' MSM... don't watch it. One by one we dissolve that institution and shift to our own publications... like Josh's, right here!

Donna Ruth's avatar

Of course, that is always an avenue. We watch as little as possible and subscribe to alt news - so we are doing our bit. Most don't. They permit their ears to be tickled and their minds filled with the nonsense of NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, MSN news, and all the rest.

The hobbling must be top down. In my country, the "national news network" receives $1.5B in guvmint funding annually. All legacy media receive subsidies, so they know where their bread is buttered.

And so it goes in the US where big pharma and other advertisers offer the big bucks to MSM. And there is the omnipresent squeeze from other elite advertisers and establishments.

Nothing will truly change until the lib-lefty socialist chattering and manipulation is curtailed from above.

Hi Donna. The system is so broken that honest leaders with integrity are; 1. Muerdered (RFK), 2. Abused or intimidated and thus repulsed by the prospect of running (H. Ross Perot), or sabotaged in office like Trump has been (Why has Bondi not prosecuted anyone?) You are dealing with a prurient self serving juggernaut with trillions of stolen dollars and a phalanx of minions in the millions. MSM is an essential arm of the 'Blob' and to de-fang it is up to us. No one is there to save us but 'us'. Those 'Lib-Lefties'... they are confused followers of the very 'kings' they oppose. Our media... the alternative to MSM... regularly strips the clothes from emperors. (You are in exactly the right place.) When the clothes are off, the illusion shifts, and the lefties will clamor for cover under a new illusion. (Yes, they do get fooled again.) We'll undress that one too. Good luck out there.

Absolutely. And the Smith-Mundt Modernization (AKA "Gutting" !) Act of 2013, when it was hinged onto the NDAA monstrosity that year.

Joshua Stylman's avatar

Sadly most people have never heard of this act - our whole species has been Smith-Mundted.

You make excellent observations until the final sentence. How is it that the deception of Christianity has escaped you? Seems like a history lesson is in order...

Donna Ruth's avatar

Been a delighted returnee to Catholicism for 40 years now. Embraced agnosticism. and could not understand why I was never truly happy. The good Lord gave me a giant boost of the Holy Spirit and I have never looked back. A wonderful journey.

C'mon in, UH, the water's fine!

After reading Not In His Image by John Lamb Lash and getting a true picture of the origins of Christianity, I could never go back to believing that bloodthirsty fairytale. All Abrahamic religions are the scourge of the earth. But you seem like a nice person so I won't hold it against you.

erin's avatar

Really? Looking at the piles of skulls behind us, I would say that Islam and Atheism left the most of them behind.

I find a faith-based life far more satisfying than unbelief. Tried both.

Unsung Heretic's avatar

And to clarify, I am not proposing to live a life of ‘unbelief.’ I have faith that doesn't require the Abrahamic religions.

Unsung Heretic's avatar

Yes really. Islam is Abrahamic, btw. But if you go back as far as we can go, all three of them have left more than their fair share of skulls: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Joshua Stylman's avatar

This exchange is kind of a case study if the piece, no? I suspect you may agree on more than you realize but you're arguing frameworks instead of finding common ground.

To be clear, I think everyone should follow whatever faith calls to them - that's sacred and personal. But recognize that religion is one of the key pillars our overlords use to divide us. The architecture doesn't care which one you pick. It cares that you're fighting about it instead of looking up.

Thanks for writing so clearly what I've been feeling but unable to articulate, at least as well as you. The murk of it all, the uncertainty, drives many to fearful anxiety. Strangely, for myself at 60+ years of age, I am like your son--curious yet emotionally detached from the chaos. I wasn't this way even a year ago. I think I am no longer fearful because I believe 'they' want us to be scared, 'they' want to divide us, 'they' want us to normalize and accept the evil of Epstein, Gates, Fauci, etcetera. So I've made it my personal little rebellion to not give 'them' any of my emotional energy and, instead, blast 'them' by living my best life and walking the middle path rather than taking sides. Really excellent, provocative essay--thank you. Peace...

Kathryn Cullison's avatar

YES! Just like josh, you articulated very clearly where I'm at. I have guesses, but ultimately I only know that I don't know. I agree that "they" want us divided, confused and scared. Therefore my way of dealing with it is to work on letting go of fear, live my best life, spread love and kindness and connect with the divine and trust that with that divine help, my intuition will lead me where I need to be. 💕

Professor Mus's avatar

Yes, it is the connection with Source that exonerated my fear of the unknown. It's a lot of mindful, purposive work--prayer, meditation, reading and writing, being with nature, surrounding myself with like-hearted people, and staying away from the machine--that grounds me in the divine.

I saw a video someone had posted on X about how those who are awakening feel this urge to leave society. I think really it means going inward. It takes this isolation to find comfort in one's self and then, comfort in the surety of Source. Peace...

Lance Leonard's avatar

Yes, exactly! “I think really it means going inward” There are many ways to “leave society”. The most important, IMO, is in consciousness.

You can be totally alone in a crowd. When you choose to be alone in a crowd is when you start to empower yourself.

Your comment resonated with me. After the Charlie Kirk assassination and witnessing the fracturing of opinions on what happened to him my brain, my spirit couldn't handle it anymore. I hadn't realized that all these different realities that exist amongst us was clashing with my personal and ingrained need for reason, justice, and truth. It's all too much. I've retreated to nature, books, meditation, prayer, and crafts of all kinds to give my spirit something steady and real.

I wish that all propaganda media would cease to exist all at once. Pull the plug and end the programming trance. Stop the madness. Go outside and play.

Professor Mus's avatar

I feel blessed that my body/brain/heart/gut somehow intuited that return to nature would return me to my spirit. I still get sucked into stuff but am able to rebalance more quickly and strongly.

The Charlie Kirk assassination was one of those things that pushed me off-balance for a bit. The pain of his death was real, but watching the power moves and machinations, the finger pointing and blame, reminded me this world really is a movie of sorts, a simulation.

As long as there is gold and a passel of psychopaths running the show, the propaganda will continue. AI makes it harder. So yes--pull the plug and question everything you see and hear. Peace...

Joshua Stylman's avatar

But wait, it was extremist Jihadists... I'm sure of it!

No, it was Israel!

No, it was a deranged trans kid!

No, it was the deep state!

No, it was Erika Kirk!

No, he's still alive!

We are living in a choose-your-own-adventure book.

Professor Mus's avatar

Ha! I write fiction and, frankly, cannot come up with any more riveting plot lines--or characters--than what we are currently living. The rabbit hole chasing certainly provides enough choices! Peace...

.... Reading your article was actually comforting. I am all alone surrounded by those that choose "head in the sand" and it's associated denial with judgement. I truly wish I had a group to sit with, that engaged in active research, revelation, discussion, bantering thoughts, observations and deeper dives of research. To "chew" over the newest or oldest morsels and see what we come up with....... without having to be "right" and to realize the slippery slope that it is.

I am truly grateful for having been guided to your "campfire:" and will continue to sit with you and your fellow thinkers. For, "Oh, how I need this now" ...... Blessings and Gratitude xo

Wow. I've had so many of these thoughts running through my own head. Kudos to you, Joshua, for being able to write them down in an illustrative way.

Nicole Palitti's avatar

Great piece, like others been putting this all together since March 2020. Fascinated by what allows some of us to go full retard and others just can't? I have no one who dissociated from me return, glad you have some testing the waters. Keep writing it makes us feel less alone in our torturous to self and exhausting to others ways. White pill is Nature, growing food, being the primary source and loving those close. The people is the power, until more come along, we will keep leading even if it is quietly (not on social media), in-person and by example. Stay strong, do fun things like sport, art or music and smile (even if faking it, it is self propaganda!)
