Silver Linings 3
For my Leftie-ish, Post Mod.-flirting, wise-owl of a misses. Who I love... la la la, (see PAS/Play, the love songs.)
The point about the death of Atheism is not that the existence of god has been proven, the point is that the existence of non-material interactions of many kinds has been proven. The existence of the world beyond the visible physical material world has been proven in dozens if not thousands of ways.
James Robertson.
ATHEISM IS DEAD
4. LAND OF DEMONS
The storm has abated, but few of the crew (apart from the UK Column boys) are keen to go ashore, not because they are afraid, but because, after a surfeit of Richard Dawkins videos, they have concluded that the supernatural is silly.
We owe this complacency to early scientists like Galileo and Francis Bacon, who decided that if you couldn’t measure it, you could discount it. Four centuries of empiricism have seen spirit, soul, beauty, and divinity reduced first to ideas and then to electrochemical processes in the brain. Monsters and demons and all such nefarious forces became the more lively products of imagination. Yet, throughout human history, in most cultures, at most times, both a divinity and the powers that divert us away from it were taken as read.
In the Isa Upanishad we are told, ‘There are demon-haunted worlds, regions of utter darkness. Whoever in life denies the Spirit falls into that darkness of death’. Christ did battle with demons and the Prophet spoke of invisible and malicious jinns. They were in no doubt that dimensions both above and below were real.
Flattening the vertical dimension, science came up with a very big, largely lifeless, more or less stupid universe — and atheism. Maybe this wouldn’t matter if we all became relatively innocuous Dawkinses or Sam Harrises, genial humanists still lit by the afterglow of religious ethics; if science was, as in the ancient Greek world, a harmless intellectual exercise.
However, it’s not. Paradoxically modern science, free of niggling ethical restraints, has itself produced some unsavoury things:
1. Nuclear demons — released when the inner structure of matter is broken apart.
2. Chemical demons — a never-ending stream of debilitating or deadly lab-produced substances, poured with abandon upon our world, and ingested by us.
3. Biological demons — brought into being in case someone else makes them first, and kept in Genie bottles until we ‘need’ to use them.
4. Genetic demons — strange twisted beings, the result of restructuring and recombining DNA.
5. Klaus Schwab.

My first book, AIDS INC., was published in 1988. The research I engaged in then formed a foundation for my recent work in exposing the vast fraud called COVID-19.
In 1987-88, my main question eventually became: does HIV cause AIDS? For months, I had blithely assumed the obvious answer was yes. This created havoc in my investigation, because I was facing contradictions I couldn’t solve.
For example, in parts of Africa, people who were chronically ill and dying obviously needed no push from a new virus. All their “AIDS” conditions and symptoms could be explained by their environment: contaminated water supplies; sewage pumped directly into the drinking water; protein-calorie malnutrition; hunger, starvation; medical treatment with immunosuppressive vaccines and drugs; toxic pesticides; fertile farm land stolen by corporations and governments; wars; extreme poverty. The virus cover story actually obscured all these ongoing crimes.
Finally, in the summer of 1987, I found several researchers who were rejecting the notion that HIV caused AIDS. Their reports were persuasive.
I’m shortcutting a great deal of my 1987-8 investigation here, but once HIV was out of the picture for me, many pieces fell into place. I discovered that, in EVERY group supposedly at “high-risk” for AIDS, their conditions and symptoms could be entirely explained by factors that had nothing to do with a new virus.
AIDS was not one condition. It was an umbrella label, used to re-package a number of immunosuppressive conditions and create the illusion of a new and unique and single “pandemic.”

Down the Path Into Tyranny
Paul Craig Roberts
Presstitute propaganda of a white supremacist insurrection on inauguration day caused 26,000 national guardsmen to be sent by states to D.C. to put down the Trump sedition. Of course, there was no insurrection. It was all just another media hoax, and the National Guardsmen experienced no security incidents.
OH GREAT. BEEN TRUTH-ALISING TO LOCAL SHOP OWNERS.
COVID CRAZY WORLD - THE GREAT REOPENING - 30 Jan
'The Numbers of the Beast', today's Mega-Banger. Better than Hollywood, (these days/ most days.).
Based on the short stories by G K Chesterton, Father Brown follows the kindly cleric as he solves crimes in his community. It is a quintessentially English world: drawing rooms in large country houses, miles of countryside, village halls and secret gardens, as well as country fairs, railway stations and rural parish churches. Each episode sees the enigmatic priest investigate a crime in his own particular way, using intuition and psychology. Father Brown discovers the truth of a crime by looking into the truth of the soul - the passions, dark secrets, hidden desires. Many years spent hearing his parishioners' confessions have given him an uncanny insight into the origins of evil and the workings of the criminal mind. But the stories are not concerned with judgement - Father Brown is more interested in saving souls than in bringing the guilty to justice.
I LOVE FATHER BROWN. (ON BBC 1 TV, NOW/ PRAISE GOD).

The loss of any other voices has an upside. A decade ago Matt Taibbi writes an unusual above the fold piece. Controversial? Yes, at the chiming-along with Infowars and the like. A few years ago, Matt seemed to back-track and criticise these 'Controversial Theorists'.
Gone from Rolling Stone he joins Jimmy Dore, Chris Hedges, Glenn Greenwald... The Left Wing and journalism. Not in with the rest of the paid-to-print LIES... famous journals.
While differences, ne'er the less; Respect. Add, Pilger. Could go on... The Off-Guardian is about the best new addition to the thrown out and pushed into the Conspiracy bracket.
Hate the Right Lefties, been full-on, given the reigns, of all media. Fox TV to The UK Guardian? All gone 2021 AWOL. No pretence at covering anything. The internet is seen to be untrustworthy and they want all else OFF. In the name of FREEDOM.
The upside is the exodus from their dirty rags.
The one ticket: Conspire to theorise about the manipulation of the media. While the 'power of truth' is whatever, they spew-out.
A spoilt and demented child taking his toys and running to his mummy. All Punch and Judy, fake fighting. We have No Media, making all their noise about made-for media stories.
Rolling Stone' Matt Taibbi:
'To the rest of the world, the brazenness of the theft — coupled with the conspicuousness of the government’s inaction — clearly demonstrates that the American capital markets are a crime in progress. To those of us who actually live here, however, the news is even worse. We’re in a place we haven’t been since the Depression: Our economy is so completely fucked, the rich are running out of things to steal.'

Guilty as Decided: All Crime. no value. Andy Ngo. RT: 'Reporter critical of Antifa flees US amid threats as ‘POLITICAL REFUGEE,’ decades after his parents arrived as asylum seekers.'
Rolling Stone' Ej Dickerson:
'[Immediately,] he metamorphosed from being just another right-wing troll scrambling for attention to a blank slate, a canvas onto which political figures and journalists of all stripes could project their goals and desires. For those on the right, condemning the boogeyman of antifa was a no-brainer, an easy and convenient way to score points with the base; for those on the left, it was an opportunity to telegraph being fair, rational, and level-headed, while simultaneously taking a few steps away from their black-clad brethren further left. And for members of the media, the industry to which Ngo ostensibly belonged, it was an opportunity to demonstrate, in the face of constant and unrelenting allegations of liberal bias, just how unbiased they could be.'

'In the past few months, as the situation in Iraq has deteriorated, the Bush Administration, in both its public diplomacy and its covert operations, has significantly shifted its Middle East strategy. The “redirection,” as some inside the White House have called the new strategy, has brought the United States closer to an open confrontation with Iran and, in parts of the region, propelled it into a widening sectarian conflict between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.'
