Excellent round up No1. This journey started in earnest for me with the climate gate emails. I never trusted fiat currency and already could see the patterns of the wars and the lies that were used to promote them. I was always questioning the various narratives put forth by the PTB. The pollution we create was easily seen as problematic but the idea that cleaning up our act was being grifted seemed over the top. Then climate gate and my research started in earnest. I started to read the actual "science" that was used to promote CO2 reduction and found it flawed and manipulated. Global temperatures rising based on readings from non existent weather stations, thousands of them. They were estimates of readings from stations that haven't existed in years. The atmospheric readings from newer satellites showing cooling temps in the higher layers of the atmosphere were "adjusted" to conform to/confirm the narrative of global warming. So their high tech on these satellites was wrong? Anyway, I could rant on. Suffice it to say good on ya and all those that wear the tinfoil hat. May we all live until we die!
Appreciate the detailed response. I came at this from the finance/macro angle and only recently started pulling the climate thread (I am 100% onboard against pollution, but the current agenda in CC? Not so much). Which is exactly why I'm asking.
So here's what I'm asking: did I miss any glaring flaws in these basics? Did I present it correctly? Because I like to get my fundamentals bulletproof. The finance manipulation is easy to prove. The science manipulation... that requires more precision.
Re the climate grift...I like to consider what the outcomes will be. That's the clue...the guide. Wars and war making will never stop in the interest of "saving the planet". Be sure of that. Like 9/11 and the response, you can bank on more rules, gov't growth and fewer freedoms coupled up, of course, with more taxes for the little guy. The big polluters, our masters, will still travel by private jet and own multiple homes and get endless tax exemptions. They may even plant a few trees to lard up the insult.
The climate emergency is taking the weekend off cuz it's -22F "feels like" temp where I live, as I type.
Remember that the number one green house gas is far and away…water vapor! It’s not even a close race against the number two green house gas. But it is much easier for a lemming to see and grasp burning something like fossil fuels with the resultant CO2 which is also ‘poisonous’ (to us in quantity but not plants…wouldn’t a warm environment with plenty of CO2 feedstock mean more plants to produce more oxygen and food?) vs irrationally denying the cheap reliable reliable reliable energy that we all need. How many fossil fueled power plants were stupidly torn down by the Inflation Reduction Act and their electricity generation capacity was not replaced? Wouldn’t it make better sense to first put up all your solar, wind, battery backups BEFOREyou tear down what is working to generate electricity? Yes it would. Now that same existential CO2 expert lemming narrative is immediately changed once fossil fuels (even the lemming China Syndrome nuclear narrative) are needed for AI electricity. One must ask Mr Bill (gates etc) what exactly learned studious degrees do you have Mr Bill in climate change? Energy generation? Biochemistry? Anything? Yet we listen to these super lemmings who are their own self described but never verified experts. I like your idea that it isn’t paranoia but pattern recognition. Thus if the lemmings succeed in replacing all fossil fueled energy generation with wind and solar, they will find a reason to tear down wind and solar once the previous energy generation regime is replaced. Just like we need to replace coal fired plants with clean natural gas. After we did that, now we need to replace natural gas. Huh? So yes, wind, solar, and batteries will be next. How many $ trillions and $ gazillions will be wasted on all of this? Your energy be it electricity or whatever will be both scarce and very expensive, but the Mr Bills of the lemming universe will be warm and cozy in their sandbox, just not you.
Everything there seems spot on. The couple of things I would add are more to do with deeper dives. One thing worth thinking about is the CO2 levels and how they "prove" them to be real concerns. It started with Svante Arrhenius in 1895 suggesting that a doubling of the gas would raise the overall temp by x degrees. Subsequent experiments that I've seen and those for chemistry class in school involve filling bell jars or balloons with CO2 and compare them to each other when exposed to a certain amount of warming to see which retain the heating the longest. How about we try using just the regular air in the room in both containers and add just the 140 +/- parts per million that is claimed to be so disruptive and see how much warming we get then? Or conversely one jar with a regular amount of normal air with no CO2 and one with the 420 ppm a check for increases? Lets compare apples to apples. The other wrench in the works would be the sun as you mentioned in the linked article. For a deeper dive into that I would point to Ben Davidson @ space weather news. He is an astrophysicist with a long history of being shunned for his ideas. He backs his opinions with links to peer reviewed work. A good place to start is: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvjJqIXYT1w&list=PLHSoxioQtwZcVLEJjpywllxdsEfJjoOQ3
The weakening magnetic field on its way to the pole flip does a better job at showing why we're seeing the pattern changes in global weather than anything the CO2 scare mongering can produce. The waning strength of the ionosphere is letting more and more energy into the upper atmosphere. Which goes into our high and low pressure systems making them stronger and thus more unpredictable.
This is getting a bit long apologies for that.
I have lived off grid in a fairly modern run home for two decades now and can tell you industrial civilization will not run on solar and even less so on wind.
Thanks a lot for the information. You give me a lot to dive deeper into. If I ever will, I don’t know 🙄. I only have 24h in a day sadly enough… But much of what you said confirms my gut feelings about how things are presented.
Like I said: lies have a pattern, so once accustomed to it, they’re relatively easy to spot. I don’t know if yours it the truth (TM) yet, but it sounds like what I’ve investigated and found so far, so thank you for that!
As for wind & solar as the only green technologies: no fracking way (pun intended). Add nuclear (thorium) for the baseload and maybe yes. But you’ll also need gas centrals to quickly scale up and down.
Then again, let’s not veer too much off-topic in the comments section as this would deserve its own chain of articles to do it justice.
CO2 is quite important for plant growth as is unrestricted sunlight! From what I understand levels of CO2 under 200 ppm would be devastating to our cereal crops. Diminishing the sunlight getting through won't help. Without FF there are no "green" technologies either. The wind and solar won't produce enough energy of the type need for the cradle part of their production.
Thank you very much for your well-written and realistic article. It is good to see the truth in writing again, nicely written and supplemented with facts that we may not have known before and that the West would like to lie about so much! For my part, I would like to note that, in contrast to the Western citizens who have become comfortable consuming the opium of lies and freedom presented in Hollywood films, we, the people who were born behind the Iron Curtain and spent most of our lives growing up there, are not affected by this Western brainwashing and do not believe anything of it. We grew up with the idea that the press is our enemy, and we always accept what the government says or claims with strong reservations or just smile at it. We can clearly see that the former communist propagandists have already moved to Berlin, London or even Washington, we get to know their style, their vocabulary and their disgusting lies.
You're an exceptional analyst, and I know from my own work how hard it is to write as effortlessly as you appear to do so - Sir, you are at the very top of your craft.
"But here's what nobody tells you about taking the red pill: it's not a clean break from comfortable illusion to clear-eyed truth. It's messy. Confusing. Disorienting."
Yep, the time to go full John Galt is now. It takes time, though. Atlas has been shrugging for a while. I started going Galt in 2003, and by 2008, I had become a full-fledged Galtite. Once you're full-on Galt, you're shielded to a large extent, but never bulletproof. Eyes open, no fear.
Covid lanced the boil. I could sense the build-up as the puss accumulated over the previous years. Things didnt feel right. And then it burst. It was rancid and awful. Nobody could smell it. That was very isolating indeed. I was in the City. 2008 …momentarily markets seized. They stopped turning. Capitalism almost went down the crapper. $30 TRILLION in mouse-click money later and here we are. It was a plaster on a burst artery…and now that boil will soon burst and that will be hideous.
Well written post.. I've been on board with all these things for some time now.
The reason for all the now-obvious lies perhaps lies in an idea from Hannah Arendt in "The Origins of Totalitarianism", where she described the manner in which constant lying destroys the capacity for truth, resulting in a public that "can no longer believe anything" and loses the ability to distinguish fact from fiction. Now consider that apocryphal statement attributed to former CIA director William Casey, "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." Perhaps that is the goal.
Perhaps the one good thing about censorship is that it is useful in identifying truths that cannot be easily rebutted. One of my own favorite sayings is from Issac Asimov: "Any book worth banning is a book worth reading."
Nearly every CIA director from Dulles to Burns, including Casey, was also a member of the CFR. Dulles, who led the famous CIA "Operation Mockingbird" to control the media, was a CFR director for 40 years. Then as now, many of the media barons (Sarnoff, Paley, Luce, Meyer/Graham, Sulzberger) were CFR members. See charts: swprs.org/the-american-empire-and-its-media/
Outstanding article. Restacked! My own red pill moment began with WTC7 falling into its own footprint in 2001. It was the COVID scam that made me realise that most people don't want to see the truth and will actively conform to the narrative to avoid it. I've resolved ever since to gain as much self reliance as possible. It's a journey, but one I'll raise my kids to understand from the get go. Thanks again! 😊
Hi @no01 , another great essay of yours. More than ever it is crucial to keep your "esprit critique" and avoid becoming a slave of the system (eg. by debt).
The only advice I want to give is to be VERY suspicious when someone from the El-ite layers of society expresses an opinion that you agree with. The people in charge know that the peasants will get suspicious about reality and that they will ask questions, so.. the best way to control those is to have a few of your own in charge to lead them wherever you want.
In the case of this Shanahan; a cursory glance at her YT channel showed me one deception right away; the promotion of organised religion. But I am sure that, were I to invest an hour, I'd be able to show you plenty more. Sure, some could be out of ignorance but I am pretty sure that she gets very clear instructions on how to deal with certain subjects.
They give us our heroes (Pike) and they give us our villains, they give us truths and then (try to) lead us to lies. It is not easy to find trustworthy sources of information and as I said before; even the controlled liars give us truths, just be aware of the lies mixed in.
Well put No1. Do you know the book Ishmael? Written by David Quinn, it's a great little book, all about Narratives. I read it some years ago, found it interesting. But now, through the process that you describe it's becoming a lot stronger.
The search for truth and meaning unravels the tapestry of consensus reality. How far does it go?
This is an exceptional practical-philosophical article, NO1. There is nothing like an existential threat to humanity to bring out the best in it. The sinister overlords are master manipulators and deceivers whose greed and avarice know no bounds. I stand outside their matrix boundaries, looking in from the outside and see right through them, the vampires that they are.
Here’s the rub, folks consented to this. We are so dependent on the corporations acting as Governments that we bend to their rules. If we read the laws on the books. Those laws are for corporations. There are no laws written for private activities. Government can only regulate commercial business. They dupe us into adhesion contracts cuz we think those laws are for us, the private citizens. Once we comprehend this concept, freedom reigns! The quickest way out is to STOP using the Federal Reserve note; cash, securities, checks and credit cards. That is the nexus to all adhesion contracts. We want our Constitution back? Use gold, silver, barter and labor. Why feed the beast? They won’t last long without us. By God, we are Americans! Act accordingly!
Sadly my local shop doesn't allow me to pay in shiny silver coins. They want card!! More safe they say. Depends on your timeframe I guess. So we're still stuck using cash/card for interactions with each other. Unless we have a fully localized network that trades in grams of silver/gold. However, that will be promptly purged by the PTB. What they can't have is anything grassroots taking root like this! Something that might threaten their grip on the monetary power.
That is a shame. I have used metals and barter for things I’ve needed. You’re right, the small, locally owned shops are the best. Once one is successful, word will spread. Have you tried a local farm? No worries, we win!
Getting healthy requires commitment and hard work. Growing your own food requires land time and knowledge that doesn't come from reading. Like what to do when your seed doesn't germinate. Is it water temperature etc.
Second how do you exist mentally spirituality and physically when the things you need are love striving after goals and hope for the future.
Having cancer six times and not only surviving but striving I can honestly say that when you see your own death your perspective goes internal. Who killed JFK. Who cares. It is not important. What important is do I maintain my relationship with my kids wife and God
The community that you speak of has to have more than shared outlook based on seeing past the lies. Shared sacrifice is more relevant.
My uncle was a Bataan death March survivor and shared sacrifice with his fellow Marines is what brings shared visions. Remember whether you're in Japan China or any where in the world I will leave you with one message
In Ww2 a survey was done of the last word said by mortally wounded soldiers on the battlefields. All races and armies. 98% of those boys not girls. Sorry said the same word.
You described everything perfectly.
Thank you
Yes, Franck, he described it PERFECTLY. Bravo !
Yes except he didnt name the ultra wealthy jews who are behind all the control.

This article (https://no01.substack.com/p/apocalypse-not-now-the-carbon-king) was my first real attempt at dissecting the narrative. But I'm acutely aware I might've missed crucial pieces or gotten things sideways.
So here's what I'm asking: did I miss any glaring flaws in these basics? Did I present it correctly? Because I like to get my fundamentals bulletproof. The finance manipulation is easy to prove. The science manipulation... that requires more precision.
Thanks and welcome!
"that requires more precision."

AI looks military, because all other control-narratives fall away to let it advance...
That is its actual utility to our owners, to replace us, control each one of us, and to cull us as individuals, without disturbing the machine.
Remember that the number one green house gas is far and away…water vapor! It’s not even a close race against the number two green house gas.

I liked that post quite well. The pictures of the wind turbine blades getting buried by bulldozer is always good for perspective.
Control-narratives contain too many readily falsifiable foundational premises these days.
Truth is a whole lot to take on at once, as you observe, but what else is there, once the door cracks open? Suicide?
What was up with Vince Foster?

Me too, I’ve been going Galt since 1997 . . . the grift, the graft, the corruption, the cronyism, the lies, and the outright fraud are now manifest.
