Power Is An Illusion, Control Is A Facade
Power Is An Illusion, Control Is A Facade This past year in numerous countries the public is being bombarded with lessons in power and control that have been forgotten for generations.

John Pilger: The Stalinist Trial of Julian Assange
John Pilger: The Stalinist Trial of Julian Assange The extradition hearing beginning this week is the final act of an Anglo-American campaign to bury Julian Assange. It is not due process.

No Go Zones: A Guide to Western Failed States and European Secessionist Movements

Evil Geniuses: How the Rich Took Control of America (and Canada) Kurt Andersen looks at the not-so-secret conspiracy by the rich, right and big business.

Abnormalize The Status Quo
Abnormalize The Status Quo If we’d been living in a healthy society and then suddenly had this society’s sick, insane status quo thrust upon us by powerful people, we’d have all been out in the streets making life very hard for those powerful people in an instant. We are in the same situation now. We […]
The Spreading Feeling “This Is All Happening By Design”
The Spreading Feeling “This Is All Happening By Design” As events unfold I have witnessed a growing opinion being battered around that something sinister is happening beneath the surface. This includes the feeling we are no longer in control of our fate. More and more the idea that form follows function and the winners were […]
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh As I approach my 7th decade on this planet, I have reached the conclusion that we all interpret the world through mythical narratives; some of our own creation, many (most?) others ‘imposed’ upon us. The ruling class of society conditions us in numerous ways to accept stories that, for the most […]
When Corporate Power Is Your Real Government, Corporate Media Is State Media
When Corporate Power Is Your Real Government, Corporate Media Is State Media The New York Times published an astonishingly horrible article the other day titled “Latin America Is Facing a ‘Decline of Democracy’ Under the Pandemic” accusing governments like Venezuela and Nicaragua of exploiting Covid-19 to quash opposition and oppress democracy. The article sources its jarringly propagandistic claims in […]

Robert Kiyosaki: “I was told not to talk about this”
ROBERT KIYOSAKI: “I WAS TOLD NOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS” Robert Kiyosaki has been on the front lines warning people of what’s coming. He continues to speak up, even though he was told to “stay in your lane” and not alert the public to what’s going on right in front of them, with their unknowing […]
The Illusion of Control: What If Nobody’s in Charge?
The Illusion of Control: What If Nobody’s in Charge? The last shred of power the elites hold is the belief of the masses that the elites are still in control. I understand the natural desire to believe somebody’s in charge: whether it’s the Deep State, the Chinese Communist Party, the Kremlin or Agenda 21 globalists, we’re […]
