Of course I am not privy to the highest echelons of combatants and I am not privy to the A.I. they consult and the myriad other A.I.'s used to hedge bets so I believe that the minions of Mammon are bogged down like the Axis in Russia. There is visible push back. I do not believe large numbers will lock down going forward. I believe their means and methods reflect failure. Imagine a banquet but no food can be digested but dish after dish is served. Too much ruin is the dish. Miscalculation of outcome. And now locked into a war cycle escalating daily the fog of war is flooding all theaters. There can be no global Hegemon. Even an Alliance of non-Hegemonic states cannot dictate friendly policy towards all nations. The nut cannot be cracked without breaking the jaw.

And though not in Commonwealth States in the USA-On Monday, the White House announced its Covid-19 vaccine requirements for federal employees, federal contractors, and international air travelers will expire on May 11, coinciding with the end of the Covid public health emergency. The 15 Days to Flatten the Curve that began on March 16, 2020, stretched to 1,141 days. Just to mock a little bit, Stalingrad was 163 days in total. In WW2 Berlin fell in two weeks. https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/ht-this-day-may-04-1945-russians-return-to-berlin-after-185-years/ar-AA1aHchb

The creation of the Solar Soviet begins with Bulgakov. The Heart of a Dog. Today injected man has the added value of something extra. Easier to enslave and even cheaper to make. The Transhuman object. The android.

Don't really get how these transhumans are going to be any good for anything other than as someone's idea of an amusing experiment.

In our world of occupations a type of person is needed to do farm labor or carpentry or working an oil platform. Or sitting at a screen with a spreadsheet. As A.I. prevails man not needed. A man creature integrated into the Cybernetic hive can be. Transhumanist thought laughs at fish man refusing to come ashore where the growth can be gotten. And to make sure everyone joins the Hive everything is put to use.

Have you noticed that I have a role to play on your Substack.

I am more naiive than you so my scribblings at trying to make sense of the present elicits some great writing from you.

(As long as I am not dumbing you down to cater for such as myself. Anyways that's what we've got to work with.)

I like your pictorial language.

You think I credit them too much for planning when they are floundering.

I thought that wrecking every single thing was their goal.

Has anything changed other than my opinion?

No no you are absolutely right. A person or Syndicate a human belongs to expects to be in the chips thanks to the wreckage. This is the fallacy. A winning group holds the goodies of 2023. These goodies emerge and are structured by a past. A world of 8 billion pre-Covid and say by 2026 a world of 5 billion, with demographic decline in the global North. Some intuition tells me models failed. They know not what they have wrought.

Last few weeks some old SF stories I wrote resurfaced from notes pertinent to system stupidity. No time better to rewrite.

So you think your past writing throws some light on today.

Well done, I don't find much is grabbing my attention other than this moment in time.

Anyone just waking up now has a lot of wading to do; thinking here of friends with whom I have to go back to kindergarten talk.

Each day I marvel how life on the river road reading emotionally prepared me for this day. 3 books read before 6th grade. Brave New World, Brave New World Revisited and 1984. Like I was wet clay the impressions of the writers created a disposition. Torn between the world made by past performance of the successful who had no interest in ideas and future idea of Tyranny I was certain of witnessing I wrote dystopian stories. And dutifully discarded them. Why help by introducing ideas I thought. Utopia is happier. The trouble was I was not a Utopian.

1984 has a lot to answer for. :)

Look for and read 1985 by Burgess. One part fiction the other on Orwell.

So you don't think that it's going to their plan, but their blunders don't help us.

Me, I think that their plan is racing along at *warp speed*.

I'm not sure though whether BRIX is part of the Weffer plan to bring down the Anglophones and Europe or a rogue movement.

We know the actual goals here but, as you say, is there blundering, and as I say, is such blundering better or worse for us. Cannon fodder, blunder or not.

If we the whatever, huddled masses then, remove the Ignorant Hirelings I think the next 30 years can be the road we need for Die Wende. Otherwise no, no, money buys this emphasis https://open.substack.com/pub/mathewaldred/p/were-the-jabs-a-military-operation?r=4mopi&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

“It was wrong to do this,” said the angel.

“You should live like a flower,

Holding malice like a puppy,

Waging war like a lambkin.”

“Not so,” quoth the man

Who had no fear of spirits;

“It is only wrong for angels

Who can live like the flowers,

Holding malice like the puppies,

Waging war like the lambkins.”
