I shared this with my injected father i mentioned to you before in my story if my mother, killed by the shots. He was a well known reporter in DC in the 60s. Ge got 2 masters. One in journalism from Columbia. He was George McGoverns senior advisor for years including the presidential run. He created Meals on wheels and the school lunch program with George he also created the first Lobbying business in the 70s. His partner Cassidy screwed him in the end ( see WAPO Citizen K series. Alot if the truth isn’t discussed but its a 21 week series ). Anyway i hope he likes your articles.
actually, Toby, if you can, I need to get the word out asap to find a top torte attorney to sue the facility that kept all the info about my mothers help from me, based on their improper belief that my sisters POA "prohibited them from sharing ANY medical info or even how my mother was doing or if she was sick or needed to go to the hospital or have procedures". As I mentioned I was kept in the dark about my mothers decline, surgeries, heart and kidney failure after the shots my sister gave her. I dont just want to look in yelp to find a top torte attorney who handles lawsuits against nursing facilities who intentionally create harm to the patient or their family. Ive looked at the laws in VA. This is covered under intentional creation of harm and abuse. I would like to sue the facility for as many millions as their insurance will pay out as well as my evil sister ( I will give my nephew and niece back my sisters home and property after I win.) But I want to make sure this nursing home NEVER does this to another human being again. Im sure you have people in hte audience that may know a top torte attorney who can help me. TIA.
Siri Glimstad is the best vaccine injury law firm in the country by far. They have an intake process that you can go through to see if your case meets their criteria (i.e. whether it has a good chance of producing a positive verdict). I think they do intake both online and by phone. You can start here:
the fact that it took you thirty years to see that the unviersities you were going to were "rabid cheerleaders for facism and genocide" is just one reason that now makes it clear to me what you are: a controlled opposition piece of shit
The transition has been less ideological than technological, specifically by means of the stolen Tesla psychotronic mass hallucination and dream manipulation technology facilitating project bluebeam - Anthony Forwood (Exposinginfragard: disregard anything after his June 2015 disappearance) scientifically demonstrated the limits of this technology, whih in a very telling instance was inadvertently reported by transpersonal psychologist Charles T Tart ('States of Consciousness'), in his account of meeting an unnamed grad student on a Berkeley backyard:
I recognized the student as my own (90's) professor Charles D Laughlin ('Biogenetic Structuralism')*, who graciously confirmed this by email: both had almost bailed on the historic first meeting, because of profound sensations of mortal dread they shared, coupled with flashing visions of men with machine guns in a van: moments and blocks from the Patty Hearst kidnapping! Today we recognize this V2K tech, which in that situation had undoubtedly been deployed to exert pressure on the last sort-of independent media empire:
Only covert federal agents deploy psychotronic weapons (in the 'gang-stalking" program officially disclosed in a sworn affidavits by former fbi chief inspector Ted Gunderson), since Congress learned from the Church Commission Report on 1975 that it could literally sway their votes on the floor, soit would appear that 'Stockholm Syndrome' was the same (TV-trauma induced) state of dependency and love of one's oppressors with which they 'diagnosed' Patty.
Forwood's 'James Matthew Tilley and The Air Loom Gang' presents the England Tea merchant who was intentionally misdiagnosed and institutionalized, after presenting hand-drawn schemata of dream manipulation technology during napolean's reign, and it is not difficult to see the source of signals reportedly received by visionaries such as Joan of arc, or established royal or political figures communing directly with god, 'eureka' and 'burning bush' moments etc, as a factor throughout history (including Tesla himself, missing the supreme irony that the medium really was the message, that the schemata arrived by means of the same device he constructed from them, as a sort of Von Neuman machine, and not 'channeled from e.t.', as he had been misled:
Even prince enki reported tripping over a model of the ark (the schemata are still available in 6000 year old sumerian pictographs) after waking from his 'dream', and racing to warn ziusudra/Noah before it was too late
*(Charles D Laughlin specialized on the effect of neurological processes on perception and behaviour, and was a zen Buddhist teacher (and Tart the man to see about states of consciousness,) yet neither had any clue that their own brainwave activity had been electromagnetically manipulated)

I would modify one thing: there still are a cohort of Leftist people who believe that all the things you listed (15 minute cities et. al.) are good, but they are too stupid for their own good, and they are the useful idiots that enable the billionaire “leftists” to do what they do. Michael Moore falls into this category along with everyone alive who actually votes for democrats.
This really made me squirm at the beginning, but by the end, I was hooting and cheering alone in my house bc this is one of the most concise and clear explanations of exactly what’s been going on in the world the last 3 and 5 and 20 years i have ever read or heard. Unbelievably well-written. Sharing to everyone I know.
Damn....initially you pissed me off...just the first few paragraphs. But I stayed the course and you NAILED IT. I love it when someone can articulate what I feel but can’t describe. Thank you.
I’m so mad that this went into my junk box (I have no idea why as I receive your other emails) as this is brilliant. You have articulated the random thoughts in my head. I would like to add if I may, to the reasons why the left abandoned itself and it connects to your third point where you mention that the authoritarian tendencies were already there. I absolutely believe this, as it is something that I saw while mixing with the authoritarian left. I made a quote a while back that, “we should be mindful that people don’t want to dismantle power, they want to replace it.” I saw how they adopted the values of conservatives (individualism) while larping as “leftists.” I saw the exclusion of the low income & working class, while using [us] when it was convenient for them (like to show how much they are giving back). Also their goal is to be in a position of power so that they could bully/boss others around because dominating makes them feel better. There was no space or grace for others except those who were a part of their little cliques. I could go on & on about this and maybe I should write about it properly, but too many people have unprocessed issues so they become unkind and cruel people. While on my own journey of healing from childhood trauma, I shared that there is no point of socialism or a different system if we don’t do the inner work, because if you give someone with unprocessed issues power, they will turn into the devil; the Milgram experiments showed us that, as did the mask harassment.
I should add that no one on the left seems to object to this state of affairs. No one on the left objects to the fact that all things public health, climate, BLM, and trans are driven by billionaires with their own interests and agendas. In a former era this would have set off shrieks of protest about selling out. But now that there is no actually existing left, I guess no one is still around who might object to this takeover of the movement by the oligarchs.
A few questions should immediately spring to mind: If the machinations of these elite actors are intended to save humanity and the planet (Not necessarily in that order), why are the meetings of these humanitarians not open to the public or to anyone who may be critical of their proposals? Why is it necessary to offer me rewards beyond the perks of my office to promote their agenda? What reason(s) do I have to trust these people?
I think you said it best in this piece, when you said that they don’t even know that they are being bamboozled by oligarchs. Their discernment and spidey sense are off because they have shoved down their authentic selves to tap dance to a standard they believe they need to be. This driven attitude also makes them switch off any of their own curiosity and critical thinking skills, because they think that if they meet these insane standards then they will be rewarded by the people who they think, care about them. It is akin to an abusive relationship and it can also be expressed as learned helplessness.
I don't think most of these political actors believe that the elites "care" about them. I suspect they believe that the jackboot is coming, and they would rather be wearing it than finding themselves underneath it (and why not be rewarded handsomely in the process?).
WOULD AGREE THE USEFUL-IDIOTS FOR THE LEFT ARE WANTED JACKBOOT WEARERS AND WOULD MUCH RATHER STOMP THE LIFE OUT OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL MAN AND WOMAN JUST TO KERP THE BALANCE OF POWER IN THEIR FAVOR EVEN WHEN BEING A TRAITOR TO FELLOW AMERICANS!
I agree with you, the [legacy] blue ticks only care about themselves. I mentioned it in another comment that these people just want to replace the current power, but I appreciate I didn’t make it clear in both my comments who I was talking about. In this reply, I was talking more so about the everyday/average laptop class, not so much the ones in the high profiled arena.
I am not so sure that the laptop class really believe that the elites care about them either. I think they feel empowered by the elites ability to cancel and censor dissident voices. It feels like winning, and no one wants to give that feeling up. Sadly for this class, should the elites get what they want, the winning will come to an abrupt end.
Tbh, I don’t think the laptop class think at all, but that part about them feeling empowered with the ability to cancel and censor is spot on. They are power hungry and for some enjoy seeing others get hurt or in pain.
Great Decomposition. As others have noted, does miss some props that were critical to making this possible; an orange man to trigger and divide the world. This was imperative for segregation. Moreover, the same algorithms that are used for corpus segregation and classification are the same algorithms being used on us. I first had this premonition designing content filters nearly 20 years ago after A Plan For Spam was first published. If I was able to conceive sorting and classification algorithms being used on people so could others — they were the seeds sown in what is a weaponized social media today. We can grow up having watched the cartoons Pinky and the Brain and sing the songs of Tears for Fears and still not see it.
There is a much more mundane explanation for what happened - the left have experienced "gentrification". The leftists from 68 became middle class professionals and kicked out the economic values of the left like looking after the working class. The working class have become an object of hate and punishment for them, that is why they gleefully maintain open borders and do everything possible to beat down on "deplorables".
All the movement is today are bourgeois elites pushing their feel-good ideology and receiving the benefits thereof - while those pushed-on get all the costs. They get diversity, we get low wages and impossible house prices etc. People like Cathy Young know the score with left authoritarianism - we who lived under communism can recognise it when we see it.
UTOBIAN, I must say we are very similar minded. I too went to a Liberal Arts University (once an all women’s university) and then after attaining a BS went to work and completed a MPPA Degree; thereafter went to Law School and received my JD, but then went back and worked on a PhD in Public Policy and Administration. What encouraged me to attain such educational endeavors? The idea of what America was then when I was a young man and also being told that anything was possible if I was willing to work hard! Well, that was over 30+ years ago and while being alive in the 60’s and seeing what occurred after 2020, along with the experience I picked up in between, NEVER IN MY LIFE WOULD I HAVE EVER THOUGHT THE BIBLE PROPHECIES would happen while I was alive and a living child of God ! There is not a conservative political party any longer either in WASHEDUP, DC! The UNIPARTY of FACISTS (INCLUDES THE LEFT) have arrived and with “PUBLIC/PRIVATE” partnerships with INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS, PHILANTHROPISTS GRIFTER FOUNDATIONS, GOVT FUNDED THINKLIKEIWANTYOUTOTHINK TANKS, ALONG WITH THE SAME CULPRITS YOU MENTIONED AND THE OLIGARCHY OWNED MSM “we the people” HAVE BEEN SCREWED, ROYALY.! IT is now Time to do something about OUR, “WE THE PEOPLE’s” PROBLEM!
In many ways, this article was a breath of fresh air. It is worth thinking long & hard about how power shape-shifts across values and issues in order to preserve status and further enrich itself.
A couple of sort-of contrary thoughts:
- you went looking for the revolutionary alternative on the left & are now breathing fire for "Free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, free markets, and free people" - which in current political terminology is conservative or "classical liberal." I breathe the same fire. I just wonder, did you change your mind as to what "revolution" should be? Or, did you previously think you'd discover true freedom of speech or free markets on the left?
- "The modern left took to fascism like a duck to water so the authoritarian tendencies must have been there all along." - After Moscow Show Trials, gulags, Czechoslovakia, yes, I guess these "tendencies" were there all along.
Wow...how do we prosecute these folks? Great post.
