It is a test. We are living in a new world, the era of light, the age of Aquarius. It's time to activate the pyramids!

Not sure where to post this, so I'm posting it here: I realized this morning that I have not received any of my Substacks since March 20th. I pay for two and am a free subscriber to the others, and I have not received a single one since that date. My subscriber address is a Hotmail account, and I check my spam/junk folder at least once a day. The emails are being cut off by Hotmail (MSFT!) rather than being sent to me at all. Not sure what triggered this, but maybe it was the first call to action. I suppose it could also be something eugyppius or Berenson put out.

Now that I know, I'll just be visiting each URL daily, but I wanted to put this out there in case... Oh, I don't know. I guess just for the record.

And I think it's normal to care more about one's family than people outside the family, and to have basically less compassion or interest in ever-widening circles. Bad actors (Church hierarchy, dictators, corporations, politicians) use this tendency against us by pretending that a problem (unemployment in Germany in the 1920s) is the fault of an "other." Sometimes they have to invent the problem as well as the false blame; sometimes the problem (man's fallen state means we catch diseases and get sick) is real. I don't think, for example, that most white Americans *want* police to shoot black motorists for having taillights out; however, the situation is framed for them (by bad actors) as us-vs-them: if the cops don't shoot first and ask questions later, rampant crime will come right into your living room, Mr. and Mrs. Suburban Boomer! I think most folks on VRBPAC, if they were honest, would acknowledge the existence of real, serious vaccine injury; they just find a certain amount of it acceptable, because they've been trained by pharma and pharma-controlled med schools to believe that it's both possible and desirable to stamp out all infectious disease, and that a little collateral damage is OK. (I guess we'll see how much damage they think is OK for how underwhelming a payoff--Offit told his own son not to get shot #3--but it doesn't change the fact that they're basically OK with someone else's kid dying of cardiac arrest in high school.)

I think it does take a belief in the eternal, either an organized religion or something less orthodox--to care about strangers as we care about ourselves. Even if we don't have that, however, we can protect ourselves from leaping into destructive behavior by scrutinizing the claims of the folks who do the "other-ing." Exactly *how* does the existence of a Jewish person harm me, if I'm a devout Catholic during the Inquisition? *How* does pulling over, then killing, black motorists help keep me safe in my own suburban home? Are there better ways to protect myself from a seriously bad outcome from an infectious disease, instead of trying to inject the entire planet every six months with shots so the disease stops existing? (And what if it mutates *because of* the mass injections? Apologies to Geert...) Just stop being so credulous.

The aside re: viral elements in the human genome is quite critical, in my mind.

With a large portion of our genome coming from viral sources, it should cause us to rethink our relationship with the virome, in general. Zach Bush has stated that there are 10^31 viruses in the atmosphere, which means we are swimming in a viral soup constantly. The general held belief that viruses are all pathogens causing disease is at direct odds with such a consideration.

In many ways, one of the ‘others’ here are viruses. But like bacteria, we have a relationship with viral information; it’s part of our evolutionary history. What seems obvious is that we need to find recognition of that relationship and seek balance with the virome, just as we need balance with the microbiome within our bodies and our environments.

Charles Eisenstein wrote an interesting three-part series on this very thing you bring up Toby, maybe you'll have read it.

Why does this keep happening? Because mankind is sinful. And how can we finally transcend this awful feature of human history? We can’t. Because mankind is sinful. The Biblical trajectory of mankind is not to an enlightened state, but to a depraved one world government and then judgement. There is only one name under Heaven by which any of mankind can be saved…

Thanks, Toby, for asking this great question. You are a lifesaver, because the main cause of recurrent genocide throughout history is the failure to confront the very question you pose -- "what explains the recurrence of genocide throughout history?" If we were to honesty confront the question, the answer would be less important than the process of self-inquiry, which would take us away from whatever the latent undiscovered forces are that contribute to genocide. It would refocus us on the need to confront humanity's self-destructive potentials and by engaging us in this honest moral inventory of our all too human failings would likely rescue us from the need to actualize or reify those forces in genocidal programs. This is more than a clever dodge to your question. I think it is true that by asking the question, we as a human race acknowledge implicitly our dangerous potentials. Acknowledgement is the first and perhaps biggest step towards corralling these horrific forces, which are always unleashed in a storm of unreflective, fascistic and jingoistic fanfare.

> Previously we’ve blamed religion, nationalism, ideology, or politics.

Politics and the stupidity of the demos gets you all the way.

There is no half-baked nonsense so ridiculous that it cannot get into the ego-boundaries of the Peak Grifters of the political-parasitoid classes (y compris politicians, bureaucrats, judges etc) - and once it does, getting broad public support is trivial. TRIVIAL.

That's because the VAST majority of the demos is composed of imbeciles.

HOI PLEISTOI ANTHROPOI KAKOI - 'Most people are shit' - is as true today as it was 2500 years ago when Bias of Priene first said it.

The perfectly-plausible notion that humans, like all life-forms, are amenable to deliberate breeding for 'desirable traits' ... was pounced upon by some grifters, who decided that the best clique to determine what traits are 'desirable' are the vermin of the political-parasitoid classes.

That anti-smoking, tee-total, vegetarian, animal-research-banning bloke - the shouty one with the funny moustache - got a bit ahead of himself and decided to put the State thumb on the scales: not cricket, but he was only doing what the US-led government program that inspired his ilk, had only done indirectly.

See, e.g., Buck v Bell 274 U.S. 200 [1927], which was cited by the #ShoutyMoustacheMan as the basis for German law implementing forced sterilisation to prevent "hereditarily diseased offspring".

Buck v Bell has NEVER BEEN OVERTURNED. It is still - by the vile concept of stare decisis - current law (inb4 "ACK-shually... Skinner v. Oklahoma, 316 U.S. 535 [1942]". Skinner did NOT overturn Buck; it just made the hurdles a bit higher.)

And now, we have welfare systems throughout the West that subsidise imbeciles to squirt out new imbeciles (the subsidy is not enough to get smart women to reproduce; they can 'do sums') - and we have had that sort of subsidy to Delta reproduction for three generations.

As a famous US jurist once quipped: three generations ... is enough.

No surprise, then, that I am cock-a-hoop at the notion that imbeciles who allowed themselves to be injected with Pfizer's Magic Jizz are dropping at increased rates... a 1-Question IQ Test.

The 'tilt' to reproduction appears to be very small, but I'll take ANYTHING that might mitigate the Reverse Flynn Effect.

Also, way back in 2020 I think it was in even the National Geographic they had a story on how the ability to be young in the uterus was from a virus that shifted the DNA. very interesting. I don’t think the article shifted many people’s mind on Covid.

The Childhood Origins of the Holocaust

Lloyd deMause

The following speech was given on September 28, 2005 at Klagenfurt University, Austria.

"Over thirty years ago, my book The History of Childhood was published, opening with the following words:

The history of childhood is a nightmare from which we have only recently begun to awaken. The further back in history one goes, the lower the level of child care, and the more likely children are to be killed, abandoned, beaten, terrorized, and sexually abused.1

In the three decades since then, a dozen books and over a hundred articles in The Journal of Psychohistory have been written by myself and fellow psychohistorians giving overwhelming evidence of the truth of this astonishing view of childrearing evolution. Furthermore, psychohistorians have written hundreds of additional books and articles showing the crucial effects of childrearing evolution on historical personalities — what we term “psychoclasses” — and on history itself, particularly on wars and genocides, which we have found to be caused by this routine child abuse, by the lack of love and care during the early years of life, by the severely fragile selves that are the results of extremely insecure early attachments."

Chapter 12: Ending Child Abuse, Wars and Terrorism

~ Lloyd deMause

"As children go, so go nations. It’s that simple."

– Carol Bellamy, UNESCO Director

"As a new generation of helping mode children become adults, those individuals who have been brought up without abuse and allowed to innovate solutions to their own new goals will be able to construct a peaceful world, first by improving the childrearing of the majority of families and secondly by building a new peace counseling profession that can eliminate wars and terrorism."

"What explains the recurrence of genocide throughout history?"

In a nutshell: the traumatization/ mistreatment of children, who then grow up into traumatized/ mistreating adults... ad infinitum....

The Solution: www.awareparenting.com and similar aware/conscious/ non-punitive parenting practices.

And when I use the term "parent", I include ANY and EVERY adult caring for/ interacting with ANY child in whatever circumstances.

My thoughts are not completely developed but hear me out.

I don’t consider myself a religious person whatsoever, but the last few years has me questioning a lot and what I think I know.

History books have been written to erase history, so we have to look at what we think we know about history objectively.

What if the Bible is a work of historical fact where many people view it as fiction. No matter what people take from it, it contains recorded history some of which has been changed through the years of rewriting so it would now he comparable to historical fiction.

What if we keep repeating the events in the Bible over and over again? There seems to always be an “end” that feels like we’re approaching now and a “beginning” and why so many cultures have spoken or theorized about an end date of the world.

There are underground cities, pyramids etc that to this day cannot be explained so I suspect that we have already been in a time period of advanced technology. It was erased. It was “invented” all over again.

It seems we are in a never ending circle and repeating history. If our past continues being erased, I think we would naturally repeat events as we make discoveries that aren’t new, but new to us

There is a "Suspicious Observers" channel on youtube that is of the opinion that there are recurring "micro-nova" from our sun every 12,000 years or so of varying intensity. It is an interesting, if somewhat unnerving, theory.

I think the issue is that only a tiny fraction of society had ever really improved to rational standards, but the whole of society took credit for their accomplishment while never really aspiring to it, therefore it is an extremely unstable condition. So there's an illusion of sorts, that because some tiny subset of humanity became civilized, thereby dramatically improving the human condition, then it seemed that we all had.

Toby, you might add this to your reading - part 3 of a series CE wrote on the topic of othering and scapegoating informed by the writing and thinking of Rene Girard. https://charleseisenstein.substack.com/p/mob-morality-and-the-unvaxxed

Yes! I was just looking for this in order to post it here because it definitely speaks to "othering" and does so in a very helpful way that gave me good insight. Thank you so much for finding and posting it!

Atrocities will continue as long as we persist in granting centralized governments (democracies included) coercive power over individuals.

They were never "granted" any such thing.

Such powers are TAKEN by force.

This is the nature of power.

I agree, but most are brainwashed into believing that democracy is voluntary and that we live under an implied “social contract” (amusing to anyone with a passing familiarity with contract law).

"most are brainwashed"

We need to raise children in such a way that they can NOT be brainwashed. But to do this, we must collectively and individually change our perception of children, and begin treating them as the Sovereign Beings that they are BORN as, instead of perceiving them as subservient, less than fully human, extensions of ourselves.

HUmans do have a tendency to scapegoat some category of their fellow humans for their suffering, which is bad, and even for their failures, which is worse.

I would urge all of you to get acquainted with the libertarian/austrian vision of economics so you'd have an idea of why statism is absurd. Not just in matters of healthcare. Why not listen to people who have been warning you about the impending collapse ? In particular about socilized medicine leading inevitably to medical tyranny ?

"Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others, the Constitution of the Republic should make a special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom". Benjamin Rush.

Government schools have always been meant for indoctrination not education. In France alone 5000 catholic schools were shut, congregations banned, tens of thousands of catholic teachers exiled to make way for public schools. These catholic schools did a pretty good job of teaching litteracy - far better than modern-day public schools. That was not the point. The socialist wanted to replace christianity with their own, far more intolerant beliefs.

Progress, Science and Health describe not just the propaganda of the WEF central planners, but of all socialist endeavors from the French Revolution (whith its temples to the Goddess Reason, its church destructions and priests mass murders) and Communist regimes (with horridly hainous persecution of christians). Nazism belongs in this category of political endeavour. It's blatantly obvious. Only incessant socialist propaganda could convince most people that national-socialism is somehow the opposite of socialism.

The opposite of socialism is by definition classic liberalism, ie the belief that property rights are inalienable and central planning unjust, immoral and absurd and doomed to fail.

Socialism is failing us as it has failed in 100% of past experiments because it is absurd.

Read Frédéric Bastiat. Read Mises.

The WEF believes that modern technology finally has changed that. Wrong. No amoung of computational power can solve the social problem because it is not deterministic.

Our currencies must go to zero because they are loaded with absurd burdens of impossible social entitlements. But the socialist will be enraged by that failure and go into yet another scapegoating hysteria. Get ready for yet another bloodbath.
