The Totalitarians Keep Marching Forward
A collection of news, the totalitarian edition
This story is a collection of news that caught my eye, the news nowadays tends to be of the color brown. But we are still here, and I continue thinking that the news will change the color when the people—a lot of people—wake up from slumber, and put their minds at the services of their very wise hearts.
#1. “When They Are Trying to Kill Us, Do Their Motives Matter?”
This fights one caught my eye because I wrote it. :) Dr. Mercola published my article (PDF) about dealing with the current situation, the situation where the crazies in high chairs are attacking us from different directions—from synthetic biology to geoengineering to the Internet of Bodies. My conclusion is that first and foremost, we need to be realistic and even-headed, and to focus on the sacred task of standing up for ourselves and protecting each other—from the heart and with love—as opposed to on “diagnosing” the crazies in high chairs and then arguing with each other over whose “diagnosis” is better. In the end, what matters is that the “net impact” of their attempted activities is abusive and destructive. And if any of them “means well,” it still doesn’t change the fact that what they are trying to do does not support our well-being. After all, most really horrible things on earth happen due to confusion, self-betrayal, and bad habits on behalf of good people! And so, whether the ones in high chairs are destructive because they are evil or because they are crazy (likely both, varying from one person to another), protecting ourselves from them is still in order.
For example, if you are in your house and have somebody over, and your guest is schizophrenic and therefore, he thinks that he needs to burn your house to save your soul, you don’t owe your guest politeness. You may very well not hate him one bit, you can may feel compassion toward him from the depth of your being—but first and foremost, you need to make sure that his ambition to burn your house is not successful, and that you don’t find yourself in a position where your schizophrenic guest is your boss and leader. Once that’s accomplished, you can ponder his inner workings and, if you are so inclined, consider helping options. (Or, if your guest was simply trying to kill you, it is good to know as well—even if this knowledge is not happy knowledge. Knowledge is power!)
#2. The gov working hard to make the children gullible and dogmatic
This one is barely shocking but none the less ridiculous and disgusting.
Where are we going? Are we going where I’ve been saying all this time—based on unpleasant observations—we are going? Like, an actual totalitarian state? Velvety fascism transforming into classical fascism?
So evidently, in the name of “our democracy,” the gov has produced a video game for children designed specifically to “inoculate” the little ones against taking seriously any criticism of the gov officials. How disgusting!
To quote Mike Benz who has written about it in great detail,
The US gov't produced a cat-themed “disinformation” video game to “inoculate” young people against populist news content.
The game aspires to create a “psychological vaccination against fake news” in those surfing social media.
The US and UK gov'ts plan to embed the game in local schools and educational curricula around the world, especially “ahead of elections.”
I highly recommend you read the entire story, it is very well written! And of course, this is not about training the kids to think critically and analyze the media with intellectual integrity, this is about creating compliant and suspicious little zombies! I am hereby registering my contempt. This is disgusting. Yes, this is disgusting!
Now, let’s talk about that “inoculation.” The notion of “digital vaccine” has been around for a while, and it stands for “behavioral modification.” I wrote about it in some detail in the story below, please check it out.
#3. Smells like fascism. Has Sweden fallen?
A new crime has been written into two of the four fundamental laws of Sweden, in regards to freedom of the press and freedom of expression.
The rewriting makes it a crime to talk about and publish things that could damage Sweden's security, or Sweden's relationship with other countries and organizations or Sweden’s reputation.
Sweden has had freedom of the press and expression written into their fundamental laws for over 250 years.
Now, censorship has reared its head under the guise of “national security”.
The new laws include not only information about other countries, but also organizations within Sweden's international cooperation.
It is now considered a crime of foreign espionage to say things that could damage Sweden's relationship with other countries or international organizations, such as NATO or the WHO.
#4. New York and CBDC
#5 Individual carbon footprint tracker
Just like the crazy conspiracy theorists predicted—and nobody “respectable” believed them!

"Digital dollars" solve a problem that doesn't exist. One of the major selling points of crypto is its decentralization. Plenty of governments have tried to create their own crypto, and as far as I know all of them suck for the same reason that fiat currency sucks.
Ditto on diagnosis. At the start I was trying to trace motives, then decided to simply rely on my prevous experience sharing a jail cell with a psychopath. There's only one motive, which expresses itself in constant change and disruption and damage.
We can't afford to waste time on motives and "counterstrategies". We're mice, and we just have to stay out of the cat's mouth. Or alternatively we're peasants trying to avoid the whips of the insane prince.
