  1. Disappointing follow up to last week. Glib, anecdotal & focused on standard Solari boilerplate. The Afroman story ran way too long, while more weighty topics petered out with a shrug. The most exciting part was the announcement of the Robert Temple interview. If I didn’t know better, I’d think this was the kind of AI slop put out to discredit the site – but it’s on the site.

    1. I did decide to take a different tack then usual. First, I wanted maximum encouragement of taking personal action. I have found that means redundancy and some redundancy is OK. Second I wanted to encourage positive action. I saw the Afroamerican story bring a lot of joy to a lot of people before I covered it – it made an excellent example of the power of creativity and humor to serve the fight for personal and community freedom. So this was a much lighter Part II than we usually do. I just went back to watch it and it did communicate exactly what I wanted to communicate. I have to disagree with you about AI Slop. I have to check out a surprising amount of AI slop and there is nothing here at all like AI Slop. That said, I always appreciate feedback and glad to have a subscriber who can appreciate how serious we usually are.

    2. I don’t mind that some of the shows and topics are lighthearted. Sometimes only the bad news is overwhelming. I appreciated the whole show. I showed the world’s greatest dad segment to my elderly mother, and it made her day.

    3. I should follow up by clarifying that I thoroughly appreciate Catherine & Joseph’s tremendous & essential contributions to understanding the current context (why subscribe otherwise?). I hope my frustration will be seen in this light.

  2. Your brief mention of covid outcomes at the 55 minute mark, were interesting. Catherine thought it was “successful” for the financial reset. Joseph thought it didn’t achieve the [ Deagle/Deagel 2025] levels of depopulation. Both agreed that it weakened our health as a population.

    I hope you will consider another stacked function. The injections took aim at the limbic system of the human brain. These parts of the brain such as the pineal gland are very important for our spiritual connection.

    Epstein’s “musings” seem to suggest it was intentional. And we saw it – Loss of smell, loss of joy, loss of memory, loss of clear thinking, vagus nerve issues, Parkinsons, depression, anxiety.

    As you showed us with the Afroman Lemon Pound Cake, creative humor is powerful resistance. Human creativity is “problematic” for the brain-computer interface. It is the creative and spiritual aspects of humanity that throws AI algorithms off.

    Sadly from what I see clinically, covid packed a powerful punch. Yet, we can replevy!!

    1. Joseph’s remark on depopulation seems to me to be inaccurate. Already, Japan at 1.4 and the UK at 1.44 are well short of the 2.1 needed for a stable population. Given the present turmoil, my guess is a further 4% drop in fertility. This would see the world population peak below 9 billion in 2050, and, notionally, fall below 6 billion in 2100. (accidental? unlikely!)
      Catherine mentioned Tindale in another post. I cannot recall how I linked depopulation to his recent post, but there seemed to be a connection :

      1. Thank you Catherine and Richard for these insights. I’ve been considering how microplastics and the drop in core body temperature to 97.4 F might fit into depopulation

    2. One very capable person I know and trust spent several years searching out and interviewing ministers, priests and other people who are focused on spiritual practice and leadership. He came to the conclusion that the injections did more than cut people off from the divine – that it was creating earth bound dead – people who could not pass into heaven.

        1. Don’t have anything published on it. It was a private communication by someone who wanted to remain anonymous. I am reading this book which is also interesting; Covid Vaccines from a Spiritual Perspective by Thomas Meyer

  3. Regarding what has changed with Isreal, these are just my 2 cents.

    I think Oct 7th, was supposed to play like 9/11, it even has that special date name like 9/11. Likely it has played that way in Israel. The cabinet and so many people in government are dual citizens; they likely have lost sight of the fact that most Americans don’t see Israel as their country, namely because it isn’t their country.

    But Gaza seems very much to me like Fords blunder with the Pinto in the 1970s. Ford in order to save money decided to forego adding a $30 which kept the Pinto from exploding in a fireball and they calculated that the accident payout would be less than the cost of adding that $30 part. They dramatically underestimated the public anger that ensued. I think the cabal thought they would downplay it and everyone would forget. Announcing the fake ceasefire did get it out of the news – but most people have seen picture of all of Gaza laid waste.

    I think they also didn’t expect how much they have primed the left to be against Isreal. They have been talking about the evil of colonizing white european men ruining the lives of brown people to get everyone in the west to accept, the non-natives moving in. But then we have white Europeans in Israel (the Ashkenazi) beating up and colonizing the brown indigenous people of Palestine. Solari often talks about the divide on the right but the left was primed to be fantastically against all of this.

    What drove me over cliff (I was already there at genocide – but now I will insist on dealing with anti-Israel politics), was this war. Because they tried a color revolution with the 12 day war first. It made it obvious that any war in Iran is being led by the same forces committing genocide. As former member of the US armed forces, this whole illegal war is completely unacceptable. If for some reason I was in the military, I would refuse serve. I would have legal grounds as the war itself is illegal under our own laws, although I know that it would still be punished. The punishment would be better for my conscience than serving.

    Last is just Epstein. The whole nature of Epstein and his now obvious links to Isreal tarnish everything. Who in their right mind is going to go to war for the Esptein class? Even Machiavelli could not come up with such depravity – he even warns against such things in chapter 19 of The Prince.

    “the prince must consider, as has been in part said before, how to avoid those things which will make him hated or contemptible . . . It makes him hated above all things, as I have said, to be rapacious, and to be a violator of the property and women of his subjects, from both of which he must abstain. And when neither their property nor their honor is touched, the majority of men live content, and he has only to contend with the ambition of a few, whom he can curb with ease in many ways.”

    Even Machiavelli didn’t contemplate the violation of children, just women and property. Of course it is obvious these people are coming after all of it.

    1. Hi Jonathan,

      I agree. There is no way that the Trump administration could get enough popular support for a war with Iran. I think it would be the end of Trump without some extreme catalyzing false flag event. I really do believe America is presently ungovernable. On both sides of the political spectrum, there is widespread condemnation of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Many Conservatives believe the Iran skirmish(I hesitate to call it a war) was Bibi pulling Trump into conflict for exclusively their own interests, rather than Trump making the determination to bomb Iran on his own volition. As Catherine says, it is fundamentally inhuman to wipeout an ethnicity for land for the Greater Israel Project. To sell the land and resources off to those connected to Netanyahu’s genocidal regime is beyond deplorable. Last time I checked, the Overton Window for settler colonial genocide expired in the 19th century. Unfortunately, a minority population of Israeli society are wannabe Nazis with significant power in the Knesset. As a WASP, I think what Dr. Farrell is saying is inaccurate. The New Left is concerned with the rights of those on the margins (the Lumpenproletariat which includes Trans people). I do not think this is bad but I think it has gone completely overboard and definitely serves the interests of elites because it doesn’t focus on the material disparity that continues to grow ever wider between asset holders and non asset holders. Pluralism is a necessary product of embedded market society which is a totally inhuman system of transactionalism. Capitalism is very imperfect and filled with contradictions. Liberal democracy makes individuals in power accountable and buttresses market society. However, today, we have people like Thiel and other billionaires who want to usurp the last vestiges of power the majority of people still have in the United States. Epstein’s Bannon interview was illuminating. Epstein was a supremely intelligent person. The complexity of contemporary global capitalism prevents discourse. No one understands the system in totality.

      1. Few writers and commentators doing a pretty good job of building a better map. Tindale, Escape Key, Stylman, Webb and Goodwin, Christian, Davis, Titus, Dixon, Ulrike and Elza. I am seeing real progress.
