After the first heady breaths of the winds of SubstackLand, I had the quick letdown of realizing how many shrieking hysterics devoted to the concept of secret hidden esoteric wisdom *only they knew* live here.

How much can anyone actually ponder if they subscribe to, say, 122 Substacks? A screaming headline in one's inbox to keep one at fever pitch alla time.

There's only a few of you keeping a steady hand as you plow through roiling waters and it's always funny to me how quickly devoted readers turn into horrible harpies when you shred any of their magic formulae.

Well done. Liking you always makes me feel smarter.

Nah, they kept doin' what they wuz doin', but she asked if maybe they had a little seltzer on tap because it was a hot day [it was the start of one of those dreams where you got no idea where you are or how to get home again], and though they wuz what you might call explicit in their way of speech, they had a natural rough courtesy to 'em too, and the barkeep made sure to wipe the rim of the glass with his shirtsleeve before he poured out her drink.

And though the spittoon wasn't in the least to her taste, she suspected she might nevertheless have gotten into the right place.

The entire analysis seems skewed because it excludes key facts. The World Economic Forum's Klaus Schwab heads a globalist special interest lobbying organization consisting of Global Corporations (Corporatists) and Autocratic government representatives (Communists). Schwab pre-wrote a book specifically describing how to seize the plandemic for globalist means. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/54498122-covid-19 Then, of course, we have the globalization of The American Health Care System: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Treaty_on_Pandemic_Prevention,_Preparedness_and_Response

Unfortunately the first Substack I subscribed to was Taibbi’s steaming pile of manure. I got sick of reading nothingburger after nothingburger and wasn’t going to renew but he banned me and got Substack to delete my account and all of my comments and even future posts I hadn’t published. A few days after Substack cancelled me they quickly came up with moderation guidelines to justify what they had done at Taibbi’s behest.

that sucks. Face book did that to me three years ago. I still do not know what crime I committed -- and I was never ON facebook, I just had some old crusty account from 10 years ago growing moss. However, apparently I broke some rules and they shut down my account. Sadly, that automatically shut down my instagram account!!! which I was kind of enjoying, being in a cluster of sewing groups and just sharing pictures of quilts. Some people are so shitty.

I do not like Taibbi, well, I do not know much about him but he sounds like a redundant slob.

Are you familiar with the philosophy of Karl Marx, Vladmir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong?

For a greater understanding of today’s world, one merely needs learn the subversive methods of communism, which have become increasingly intertwined with “capitalism” and this is by design. They call it Democratic Socialism.

“The Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

“The Marxist, Leninist and Maoist Class Interest Theory of Ethics” by RJ Rummel

I have IMMENSE respect for this man, who, unfortunately, lived and died 22 years before I was even born:

“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge in the field of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”

-Albert Einstein, 1953

“Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, resulting in an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society.Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information including the press, radio, and education.It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.”

-Albert Einstein, 1949

Our existence does indeed depend on cycles, which are facilitators of evolutionary development.

Within each cycle in the series, including social phenomena, “progress” is based on the ability to reduce the mistakes / errors made during prior cycles.

These cycles can be observed in many ways. ( Ages, Generations, revolutions, etc)

A consequence of this perpetually growing environment, is that today’s interconnected world faces a significantly more advanced challenge avoiding the subversive thought police.

Since most of our learning, and our behavior, are functions of the subconscious, we are being manipulated in ways that are undetectable without first performing a meticulous analysis, such as the type Eugyppias endeavors to undertake on our behalf.

Yes he really does do a meticulous analysis as you say and he is a bright man who is up to the task. There is so much information being blasted at us 24/7 it is increasingly difficult to determine what is the truth and things are getting so crazy it is even difficult to decipher satire from reality.🥺 I appreciate Eugyppius because he grounds me from spinning out into multiple directions of conspiracy theory. It feels like the top 1% elitist globalists are in total control so it is nice to hear from others far more knowledgeable than I that they don’t believe they’re that smart to assume the control of 8 billion people… reassuring. Why can’t we just learn from history tho?! We could save ourselves so much grief and pain and hardship.

I'm in the middle of reading Christopher F. Rufo's new book "America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything". It has given me non-stop "aha! moments". He meticulously lays out why we are where we are right and makes sense of this bizarre world. He can be found here on Substack as well. I think Eugyppius is on the money with his description of "SFTID", but I also think that many elites have been sucked into the radical left thinking. The same as so many of my family and friends. If they finally come to realize that they're perpetuating communism as useful idiots, they will be horrified. If they are ever even able to comprehend it.

Greetings,

The problem lies not in the realization of ‘communism’ because they have been convinced of phony existential threats and that only an abusively inhuman autocracy can ‘save’ us from ourselves.

The problem with Communism, Fascism and other collectivist ideologies is multi-fold:

1. They are “saving the planet”

2. They are ‘saving the oppressed.’

3. They are ‘saving democracy’

4. They are ‘saving humanity’

5. Unmitigated ‘progress’ is required to ‘save us.’

6. All change is ‘progress’ but none more so than crushing the very conservative values that have sustained societies throughout history.

These leftist truths are sustained by an extensive media apparatus purporting volumes of fake news to reinforce leftist propaganda

It would represent a fatal trauma to concede these points to themselves and self defense (fight or flight) becomes a constant state of being.

The reactionary elements of conservative groups are being exploited and twisted to fit leftist narratives.

Reactionary games are predictable losers and conservative values are shifted to the rear and rendered as dead.

The entire political spectrum has been shifted to the left considerably over the past century. This has accelerated considerably in my lifetime.

Any reversal must be incremental, but I fear it is already too late, just look at China’s cultural revolution and how it mirrors what is occurring globally.

Best Regards ,

The idea is to be skeptical of everything. Today I spoke with a self proclaimed member of antifa who is apparently chaotic neutral and anti government but hypocritically for continued masking and improved air filtration. It’s nice that in addition to pro rioting and looting she is for air free of pathogens while buildings are being burned to the ground.

She is angry now that the government is abandoning restrictions and has let her down apparently lying now and saying that Covid is over in terms of its threat level. She backed that up by saying Covid is a biohazard level 3 virus. I asked her why she believed ir to be true, she said because the system or institution said it was. I asked her if she believed the government was lying to her now what makes her think they weren’t lying to begin with?

I don’t know if lockstep is true anymore than I know about any other conspiracy theories. I am more inclined to believe Dowd who has statistics from sources that are not motivated to report lies. So much of Covid reminds me of playing pretend back in the woods in the seventies where you could claim a stick was a dinosaur bone and you dressed yourself in kudzu snd claimed you were Sigmund the Sea Monster.

The only thing that bags at me is that there are still colleges that make vaccination is required for attendance. They still put the vaccine for the childhood vaccination list, and they still want to continue masking when Fauci was found to be lying about the virus origin. Then again there is the sunk cost logical fallacy.

The document serves two purposes:

1. It provides insight into how a technocratic elite think.

They obsess over control, and cannot cope with decentralization and variety, the very hallmarks of a peaceful world where everyone can live as they please, from the Amish to drag queens, each finding their place.

The most famous example of settled cultural protection are national borders, the very thing they hate.

2. They don't control as much as you think.

Much of the drive for conspiracy, including the Lock Step thing, is belief in some latent superiority of so-called elites. These kind of documents show the movers and shakers THEMSELVES don't have a solid grasp of power structures. That is what documents like this allude to. It could go either way; they can't really force things; they probably control very little.

The self-appointed elites implicitly benefit from conspiratorial belief in their omnipresence. But these documents, scenarios and roleplay documents show they are probably clowns masquerading as overlords.

Yes. They think they have the answers - they try to force the answers - they end up with something that looks very different from what they were sure their answers would provide. Underlying it all is certainty in having the answers, and a revulsion to the quaint notion that 8 billion people might have a say in how to conduct their own best lives.

Spaceman Spiff said "... the very hallmarks of a peaceful world where everyone can live as they please, from the Amish to drag queens, each finding their place."

The spectrum would have to stop short of the drag queens, though, since the whole point of their activities today is that they won't let people live as they please. The antifa attacks on parents protesting against the drag queens are no coincidence, but just another facet of the same operation.

"Live and let live" will only come to drag-queen land when they repudiate antifa and volunteer to read stories in old peoples' homes.

I do concede the point that some players are actively inserting themselves in our lives. They go from some notion of equal treatment to insisting on endorsement of their lifestyle choices. Again, borders work. That is why those destroying us insist on borderless homogenization. They want the control.

Expand full comment

Yes, I realize you were following the impulse to be nice to people generally, which is necessary for peaceful societies. It can be very difficult to draw the line in the right place for excluding some from polite behavior. For example, the US and European countries taking in large numbers of Somalis is generally damaging to the host societies, but I would never think of being anything other than courteous to them, since as individuals, they have no malign intent - they just want to recreate their home neighborhood in a location that's safer than actual Somalia. It's not their fault that they lack the ambition and talents of, say, Nigerian immigrants.

The drag queens, on the other hand, are, as individuals, consciously trying to manipulate the minds of young children, recruit them to 2SLGBTQ+ world and turn them against their parents, with the active assistance of teachers, librarians and antifa, and so far, just the acquiescence of governments (they might turn to enforcement at some point). So they definitely place themselves on the other side of the line.

My answer was always the same, ignore them, use your own common sense and judgment, I was often met with blank stares and sometimes open mouths that I dared to speak up, out and against the narrative.

This last three years has shown me most people are cowards, they know it was wrong but refused to speak out and refuse to comply.

Of course you had the die hards who believed every single word they were told also.

What I found and still do, even as I was pointing holes in the whole charade, is how people, including me own family just can’t quite believe that the government would lie to them on such a large scale. They know and even admit they lie but just somehow just quite can’t admit into being conned.

These "plans" like Lockstep, Dark Winter, SPARS, Event 201, etc., are not necessarily to be taken literally. But they do prepare and indoctrinate the "attendees" and the world to accept that they will be running the show, that they will have to take care of all things from vaccines to misinformation. It's all setting the stage for a play that has been written and is just waiting for the right time to perform.

Look back at 2009 Swine Flu "pandemic" and you can see what "they" tried to do but failed because they didn't have all the pieces yet. But they learned. Back in 2009, the media still had their voice, kind of, and even CBS had pieces on how the pandemic was a scam. It also ended too soon. So, next steps are to capture all the mainstream media and make it last longer.

There can be no doubt that the MSM, all at the same time, all using the same language, set the tone for the whole narrative. The same narrative. Impossible unless the capture was complete and planned. Not one broke rank. How can that be?

How to make it last longer? Flatten the curve, lock people up, lower immune response, test, test, and more tests, etc.

There have always been conspiracies throughout history, especially among the monied folk.

Why would that change now? Too much coinkydink, me thinks.

And yet the global biosurveillance (and everything else surveillance) state is what we have ended up with. EU covid certificates about to be enshrined in a new WHO treaty, ready to be deployed globally at 48 hours' notice when the next sniffle comes along. National sovereignty about to be ceded to yet another organization, this one not even pretending to be representative in any way, shape, or form.

Woe betide if you don't have the latest smartphone, and keep your jabs up to date. The population already being softened up for potential extensions of the technology, to carbon allowances, CBDCs, food rationing, travel rationing, you name it.

The globalists we do hear from (I guess the Rockefeller foundation has given way to others in the meantime) seem to be very on board with this kind of stuff. The belief behind it is still the same, and one held by many people not just multibillionaire globalists and politicians - that they have some special enlightenment, have the solutions, and if only everyone on the planet will just do what they say, then paradise awaits after some brief and minor sacrifices. It is the promise of totalitarians in all places and all times, and it will fail. But this time the dissidents will have nowhere to run to. You could escape a Hitler or a Stalin or a Pol Pot by, financial resources sufficing, just moving country. When totalitarianism is global where do you go?

Why so much of it is driven by vaccines, particularly fantastic vaccines that don't exist yet (and in all probability never will, not effectively anyway) is weird. Maybe it is tied in with the desire to have a fundamental, unique, global identity database of everybody.

If they wanted to and tried to drive "clever together" we sure ended up with "lockstep". The inevitable first failure mode of the attempt of clever globalists to drive "clever together".
