Four amazing Substack articles that moved me deeply over the last few weeks
CJ Hopkins, Elliott Freed, Aaron Kheriaty, and Naomi Wolf
I subscribe to 93 Substack newsletters now. It’s how I make sense of the world. The independent voices on Substack are infinitely better than anything in the mainstream press. Many of the best Substack writers are also re-published by the Brownstone Institute that is doing absolute extraordinary work right now. Below are some articles that moved me deeply over the last few weeks.
CJ Hopkins
Fear and Loathing in the City of Westminster
CJ is an American playwright living in Germany. His unique combination of realism, wit, and insight make him one of the finest political economists on the planet right now. Thankfully government officials around the world are terrified of him and do all sorts of ridiculous things in response to his work — which usually only serves to prove his point.
The thing that was horrifying about listening to my colleagues reporting on the state of things in their countries — or, rather, the thing that should be horrifying but is becoming a mundane fact of life — is that more or less the same totalitarian program is being rolled out in countries throughout the world. The censorship. The official propaganda. The criminalization of dissent. The pathologization of dissent. The manipulation of our perception of reality. The coordinated transformation of the world into a smiley-faced neo-Orwellian police state in which politics no longer matters because society has been divided into two basic classes, i.e., “the normals,” who are prepared to mindlessly follow orders and parrot whatever official propaganda they are fed, and “the deviants,” or “extremists,” who are not.
Elliott Freed
Elliott is a friend and he sees the playing field so clearly. This piece is dark af but I think it’s the road map that we need if we are to have any chance of surviving the Pharma Fascist assault on humanity.
The colonization drive is now directed inward, towards the genome. There are many components of the agenda and many details, but they all serve the one master aim, imperial colonization and militaristic regimentation of all life on earth via re engineering the genome and regulating the beings who carry the engineered, patented, corporate owned genes.
Aaron Kheriaty
Rebellion, Not Retreat: Blueprints for flourishing in the midst of a decaying civilization
This is a nice antidote to the darkness of Elliott’s article. We need many more forward-looking pieces like this.
The common feature of all totalitarian systems is the prohibition of questions: every totalitarian regime first monopolizes what counts as rationality and determines what questions you are allowed to ask.
Naomi Wolf
An account of her journey into and out of the hospital following a ruptured appendix. Dr. Wolf’s writings on spirituality during the pandemic are extraordinary. This article contains one of the most beautiful descriptions of heaven I’ve ever read:
After my father’s death, I had learned about certain aspects of his life that had confused me, and that had led me to struggle with his memory. These questions had become a barrier to my properly mourning him, and certainly they had kept me from feeling his presence. But in this chat we were having — thoughtful, father to daughter, transparent, not sentimental — I got to ask him every question that had haunted me, and he answered them one by one, and the answers set my mind entirely at ease.
I have many more thoughts to share but I wanted to send these links out now while they are still on the top of my mind. More soon.
Blessings to the warriors. 🙌
Prayers for everyone fighting to stop the iatrogenocide. 🙏
Huzzah for everyone building the revolutionary society our hearts know is possible. ✊
In the comments, please let me know what writings have moved you recently.
As always, I welcome any corrections.
And your Substack is one of the only ones where I read from beginning to end. I was also moved by 'Not Dead Yet'. I think they are words that everyone should roar from their livers.
Many thanks to them and to you for helping me feel I am not alone or out of my mind the last few years. You are my spiritual community.
Having a large family and social circle actually makes it harder because many/most don’t see what I see. It only amplifies my intellectual loneliness.
But reading these substacks and learning new things have been life changing. A silver lining. It’s heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
I will always appreciate you.
