This newsletter never fails to make me feel seen and heard. I hope you know that you are helping young people like myself (f22) understand our anger, fear, social anxiety, and more. Thank you so much for continuing to fight the psychological destruction that this society encourages to do the necessary work for its restructuring. I hope to be able to contribute to this mission in the future! 🫶🏼
Bradey- your hope to be able to contribute *does* contribute! Your generation is blazing with power and courage, showing the entire world something they’ve never seen.
“showing the entire world something they’ve never seen”.
Not true.
Please review the anti war and anti establishment protests of the 1960’s-early 1970,s along with Malcom X’s position on Israel’s theft and colonization of Palestinian land at that time.
Thank you for the historical context, August; it’s much appreciated. While we largely face the same challenges as the 19th and 20th century and often resist them through familiar methods like street protests, social media and AI now offer new opportunities to amplify and scale resistance efforts. Forest’s viewpoint highlights how Gen Z effectively uses these technologies to create unprecedented platforms for ideological resistance. Just a few decades ago it would be nearly impossible for a young, working-class woman like myself to have the platform to articulate progressive ideas to thousands. This very conversation on Substack illustrates this transformative shift. I appreciate both your and Forest’s insights. 🇵🇸🤍
That’s a good point. I’m a literal product of those earlier protests since my parents were members of SDS and the Digger movement. That generation was also something the world had never seen.
Bradey’s generation is confronting a unique set of problems with a unique energy. Norm Finkelstein, who witnessed both movement eras, has commented about this. As an example, several high schools in my area have formed radical student leagues that are extremely active at events and in their schools- these students are 16 and 17 years old, articulating revolutionary Marxist-Leninist ideas and confronting everything and everyone in their way. It is awesome and inspiring to witness! If anyone is interested, theres a link in my timeline to a letter I wrote to our local weekly paper, with a video of one of these students confronting our congressman Adam Smith at a town hall event.
Wow - if Finkelstein IS controlled opposition, I would have yet another in a series of avatars to not trust. For now, I remain an admirer and learner from Professor Finkelstein. He's paid a public price for speaking Truth to Power and it has not crushed him. On a prior note, please know Dear and Treasured Eyes-Wide-Open principled youth that not all Boomers are set against you. We may not get the headlines, but not all of us are wealthy at your expense - not wealthy in dollar terms at all. And we support you. We are not fooled by the faux democracy wielded by the Imperialist reality. The corporate rulers who did learn from the 60's while the movement wore out. We are on your page, but lacking the vim and vigor of the 60's when we were the youth. But, still, we remain with you. A drag on internet competency perhaps, but with you nonetheless.
I share Ela’s criticism of Norm’s statements about BDS and the right of return, and other things he’s said in the past. No way is he controlled opposition though. He’s an ally
To Ela, who thinks Finkelstein controlled opposition. Any time a person has lost job, status, friends, etc. and has a degree, but not only those with degrees, I would suggest you run, not walk to hear him and why he "lost." That is the kind of person the USA needs desparately, and precisely why he should be followed and trusted. Those who have lost nothing are not to be trusted. Some of us call those who've lost and the journalists who had to start their own media outlets, INTEGRITY MEDIA, because people with integrity want to know and want to follow what can be discerned as truth, supported by the facts uncovered. You got to kinda be like a vole, a little critter that travels underground, but can destroy the entire plant by eating away at the root. Stealthy like the CIA, like MOSSAD, like the International Crime Syndicate that politicians, US government, CIA, and MOSSAD, corporations like Pfizer work with. We are not safe on this planet with those entities remaining in charge. So entrenched is the population of criminals, they want to make corruption legal. Because it is by corruption our government and many others are run.
Yes to everything, but "blazing with power". That has yet to be achieved. As far as I can understand, power will not be shared in this Country or with the Ruling Elite of the world. I wish I knew how 'we the people' can get power.
You know it was never given in the Constitution. It was declared in the Declaration of Independence, but when it came to the White Wealthy Ruling Class writing the Constitution they renegaded. They gave us a Republic with them in charge, republic type government structures are the most corruptable compared to any other governing structure. I'm absolutely sure they knew this, since they studied many other governing structures and most of them detested the idea of Democracy. They felt that only the Wealthy could rule and should rule, they have money and they think, like the masses today.
It's foolish to believe that generational wealth means 'smart people' will rule. ONLY in a Kakocracy can that be believed (have we not been told of all the Diplomas that were bought? That Trump and his whole family bought theirs?) and that's what we have been living in since the 1600s and before.
You mistake power for rule. What rules your heart is what makes you strong and gives you power. The poorest people in the world have more power in how they don't turn to crime or taking from another for their "perceived" needs to survive. The Palestinians are "blazing with power." They are setting our entire world on fire with questions like: Are the masses of the world to be ruled by the minority? Are the masses of the world too ignorant to understand they stand in line with a ticket in their hand, and when their number comes up, will that be the only time they realize they are Palestinian too? Should we ask ourselves what we "need" and compare it to what we "want?"
If you have a fire in your heart for the best of humanity, look no further than Palestine and Palestinians. Their struggle is our struggle, is the entire world's struggle. Journalists need to start spelling it out for those of us who think but never learned to write, and those of us who learned to write, but never learned to think.
It is easy to see why the well educated wealthy think the way they do: they know how poorly educated and misled are the masses, and are quite convinced none of the masses will ever self educate, since the elite's intent is to limit or erase true history and any knowledge that would teach us how smart we are, us deplorables, and better we are than the elites, had we a head for autodidactcism.
You are right. There is hope. I don't believe for a second that the Wealthy are more intelligent than the masses. In fact I believe they have fallen victim to their own machinations, that they in fact are stupid and mentally ill in all sorts of ways and it's demonstrated everyday.
Yes, the Palastinians have shown us that their struggle is our struggle, the world masses' struggle and there's hope and strength in them and us. We can't believe what the Ruling class tell us about our selves. We have to believe in us and our wisdom and choice of actions to take the reigns of our society into our control. I believe we will treat each other equatably when we gain control our lives and resources.
"we will treat each other equitably when we gain control our lives and resources." I am with you on that, but which countries, of the leading BRICS has allowed that in their history? Should we disallow history or should we disallow those who cannot shake off the shackles of history? Do you really think the "we" you speak of can gain control of their own lives when, like in the USA, they've been so dumbed down as to not even know they've been dumbed down by their public schools who failed to teach a thorough and more truthful history than what public schools are allowed to teach, and what private schools can with leanings towards yet more of an economic creed that sucks the blood and resources of nations and keeps the people of those nations impoverished.
I do hope you do get the chance to contribute to a saner future Bradley. You and your contemporaries. I am 95 years old and my vision of the future is a narrow slit in time whereas you have life in front of you. I witnessed the wreckage left after WW1 . I was engaged in WW2 and then the Korean war. Then I woke up and became a peace activist and did some time on prison for nonviolent opposing the Vietnamese US. invasion. If you really want the future you deserve you should neither remain passive nor try to violently alter the future. You and your mates need to organise now .Be part of the great awakening which is just appearing on the horizon. First hope and then action... Good Luck.
Thank you and bless you Jack Lomax. You are proof that sanity and truth can evolve out of indoctrination. One will, mind, and heart at a time. Let us unite those wills, minds, and hearts. A follower in time - age 78.
I'm your junior,Jack, but I never forgot what my dad told us kids about the Korean War, had little to say about the Vietnam War, and I just keep studying beyond the bullshit told. Yes, the propaganda machine sure does know how gullible too many of us are because "they" dumbed us down in public schools. What in the fuck happened to Civics? Or truth in history? and how could there be truth when truth was missing? When I think "public school", I think one big propaganda machine. I would like to be part of private, non-profit school that depends on the parents and other like minded individuals to fund, and teachers are cool with the pay because they are not interested in being part of the problem.
When I was about 10 years old I heard my father who had been injured in WW1 and up to that time a great supporter of it said to me 'Listen Jack their about to start it all up again. They did this to us and we fell for it and believed the rubbish that the Germans were stabbing babies with their bayonets .This talk about the Polish frontier... (it must have been 1939) .. means there going to start it all again. Don't believe the rubbish on the BBC and newspapers.......( I lived in England then not Australia)....... Since he'd always been saying it had been worth his getting injured in WW1 something must have woke him up. We didn't take any notice of what he was saying and my older brother was injured in WW2 and I was in the Korean war...... Now I know what the rubbish about China and Russia means. Like my dad said to me I'd say to you don't fall for their rubbish propaganda.
It is nice to see young people awake but it would be even better if our middle aged and not so young politicians were awake instead of with their heads stuck in their money jars.
I think that is happening. I am 68 and to be honest, have been part of a minority who has seen the coming storm since I was younger and a child producing woman. I spoke out about it then, got totally crushed for speaking out, and am glad to see finally, not just more understanding our USA reality, but world wide as well.
I don't think our middle aged politicians are better than before. In fact, if it is possible, I think that sometimes they are worse. I am even older than you and I have watched this happening for a long time. I have been ridiculed, ignored and disliked. I think younger people are doing a lot of good by supporting Palestine, but outside of those people there are too many young people who think the holocaust never happened and nazism is a good idea.
Women have known since they were very young that we are spun a bunch of garbage about male superiority in strength and reasoning power. People of colour have realized for a long time that we are fed a bunch of crap about what is better. Indigenous people have long known that European ways were not going to make anything better. The worldview is mass produced alright. By a bunch of egotistical men and their female supporters, by a bunch of people who think their skin colour makes them better, by people who just do not understand indigenous relationships to the earth and then try to ridicule those ideas away.
"indigenous relationships to the earth and then try to ridicule those ideas away." Not to go terribly deep, but first "gods" were "goddesses" and they got buried by a sex that felt it necessary to do so. Some have estimated that had "goddesses" prevailed, we would not be the war planning/needing/wanting/fuckedup/totally gross/ country that we are. All we have done is encourage others to have nuclear weapons. With everyone having nuclear weapons, how might that increase the chances of total destruction of life on the planet, given what we think our arguments are for waging stupid fucking wars in the first place? Replies welcome.
From my perspective, the whole game they are playing with nuclear threats is unbelievably stupid. When I was about 20 I studied radiation physics and I learned that there is no safe level of radiation. It is cumulative and does not disappear for thousands of years. The people running things these days seem to have no idea what radiation is. So they threaten well, what? to annihilate themselves along with the rest of us? They will be just as vulnerable once they emerge from their bunkers to a completely radiated world, water, air, plants, animals. They probably think we are safe from the fukishima and chernobyl radiation by now.
It's not just those freaking out about the future, but also those believing they can alter it by working within present structures. I have loving, highly educated friends whose children are smart, talented in diverse arenas, creative, artistic etc. Yet these crucial citizens of the future often wish to intern in DC, investing their brilliance into a current US socio-political-economic system that's as corrupt as it is useless to most of its people and destructive to the planet and the remainder of world citizenry. A disheartening commentary on the fact that education and the ability to think critically are still swamped for both parent and child by the tsunami of brainwashing that produces this mass psychosis about which you write so elegantly.
" I have loving, highly educated friends whose children are smart, talented in diverse arenas, creative, artistic etc. Yet these crucial citizens of the future often wish to intern in DC, investing their brilliance into a current US socio-political-economic system that's as corrupt as it is useless." Seems to me you need to feed your ideas to your family, be the bad guy at the table but that you pretend to so unwillingly eat at.
No one's pretending anything, except that you merely decided to make that assumption. I just, last Thursday finished a conversation begun months ago. hurling extreme skepticism at a 45 y-o friend [mom] about her 21 y-o son's interest in polysci in the face of his considerable other talents and how he'd be wasted and possibly ruined in the current climate of lies and corruption in DC. I'm talking from my experience, not hypothetically, and not pulling rhetorical punches with these folks; I assume they respect me enough to listen, -- that's all I can hope for.
"People who still believe that the news media tell them the truth and that their nation and their world work pretty much the way they were taught in school are just as brainwashed and deluded as any QAnon cultist. The only difference is that their delusions are much more widely shared, and that the mechanisms used to brainwash them are much more high-budget and sophisticated. The mainstream worldview is really just a mass-produced artificial psychosis."
The other difference is that one set of delusions happens to coincide with Establishment interests, and the other does not.
I wonder if QAnon is not also part of the game. AFAICS, QAnon seems to be pretty much herding those believers into the arms of the other approved camp, rather than towards any sort of revolutionary questioning of the entire fabric. It's gotten to the point where absolutely anything I can see or hear about in the mainstream media must be carefully considered as to whether it is part of the approved agenda. It's only here on the margins can we begin to see some semblance of truth.
I don't remember who said it recently, maybe Caitlin, but it was along the lines that what we are being given is so false, that even the opposite is still false. I think that is something to consider.
Agreed. It's good to start reading with a blank mind (if it's possible) then start exploring how many lies you have caught before you get to the truth which of course may not be the truth.
QAnon is an obvious psy-op of the Cryptocracy. Around 2012, well over a decade ago, two assholes on the internet, David Wilcock & Benjamin Fulford, were braying like jackasses in a pepper patch, saying the same things Q says. They even used the same term, "The White Hats." Well, what the fuck are these alleged "White Hats" waiting for to make their move and clean house? How many more people have to be murdered or impoverished by the Beast? How much tighter must the chains of slavery be fastened? How many hundreds of thousands more children kidnapped, tortured, and sold into sex slavery? How much more of the life support systems on earth have to be destroyed by their satanic geoengineers? etc., etc., ad nauseum. Further, if you think for one moment that the Cryptocracy, with its NSA, NRO, etc. agencies possessing their super quantum computers can't track, identify, and either "Cap" or arrest these mythical Q people, you are seriously deluded.
I've come to the conclusion that many big names in the Health Freedom/anti bug eating/ anti 15 min cities movement are definitely part of the game and have used da covid and genuine (and justified) anti vax sentiment for political gain.
Conspiracy theories work both ways. To smear the preventative medicine movement as nutters as well as to target them with nonsense about climate change being debunked, immigrants being to blame for everything and Jewish bankers being intent on stealing the middle classes' money.
Two wings, same bird. Inverse directions to the same destination. 1 vector, 2 motions. When you are given just 2 apparent choices, you can rest assured the Hegelian game is afoot.
I’m at 95% certainty that White Hats are in control of AmRev2/WW3, with the single best evidence being a 49-minute summary of Charlie Freak’s epic 7-hour presentation of verifiable facts (censored multiple times, and in 4 parts here). More strong briefings:
* Good Lion Films’ 120 minute The Greatest Show on Earth.
* Mike King’s documented timeline of extra-ordinary events consistent with White Hat military intervention to document and publicly expose “official” lies/crimes.
* NewsTreason’s 10 Videos That Prove ‘You Are Watching A Movie’ - A Channel 17 Special.
* Nicholas Veniamin’s 63-minute video from 57 sources of testimony, documents, and photo/video evidence to communicate emerging breakthroughs empowering us into a Star Trek-like future.
My goodness, Caitlin. You always amaze, but this piece is one of the most insightful and well-written articles I have ever read. I’m forwarding it to everyone I know … unfortunately, most of them are Red or Blue Bubbleheads. Thank you.
Brilliant post, Caitlin, but I emphatically and respectfully disagree with your closure. The vast majority of the herd are so programmed and softened in the spine and mind that they will never snap out of their death dream trance. Truth is, they actually prefer slavery. True freedom and liberty frightens them and threatens their tiny, little bow wrapped gift box of a world. Further, as long as these robotized, untermenschen have enough to eat, a roof over their empty heads, and Talmudvision (TV) along with their I (idiot) - phones to sate their digital addictions, they will never revolt against their master and his whip. All the way to the charnel house.
Historically proven. Entitled in the heart of the empire never wake up, until it is too late. However, for decades, I have had intelligent , well informed conversations in countries where they are on the other end of our weaponry.
Excellent post, Pippi. You are right about the "Entitled". However, I was primarily referring to the masses that are asses. This herd is far from being entitled and these dim, programmed, featherless bipeds are as aware as your average fence-post. Facts, documentation, and verifiable evidence are irrelevant to them. Anything that conflicts or contradicts their programming or world of Talmudic delusions they quickly and automatically reject. Like I said, they'll maintain this suicidal posture all the way to the charnel house.
I was referring to the masses as well. The people I spoke to in other countries could be poor and “uneducated”, but knew exactly what was going on. Reality does that to you. The masses in the heart of the empire are entitled enough to be wilfully blind. Those with dead, dying, ill , disappeared, or imprisoned family are not. The masses are kept sleepwalking with crumbs of the empire. They respond as children. They refuse the responsibility and accountability of adultifying.
Optimism is a good thing, but it’s disturbing how often people refuse to see truth when it’s presented to them. I’ve had people tell me, “That’s scary” (= shut up), “I don’t want to know about that,” or even, “I’m happy in my ignorance.” Maybe we’ll get the point where it’s easier to acknowledge truth than to live in the illusion, but I don’t think that’s right around the corner. It could take a long time.
Jody: My sister tells me all the time she doesn't want to know about: climate change, Gaza, food insecurity, ecological devastation, Gaza, mass extinction, GAZA, etc. Her reason is "she has grandchildren and she can't stand to see people bombed, or somesuch." My husband and I are raising our two granddaughters, but she doesn't see the irony in what she says. In my view, these people are lost causes and I actually don't want to be friends with them, better to build community with friends/relatives/colleagues who read and think and care about others. That's what I've decided, but it took me 5-7 years to get to this point after retiring, reading, listening, and learning.
That's very unfortunate it's your sister thinking that. I've pondered the same with 'friends' on Instagram who I thought were conscious people, but refuse to even acknowledge the subject. It's heartbreaking and I've slowly removed them, having faith that the next chapter will begin with more conscious friends.
BULLSHIT! The Kalergi Plan, sometimes called the Coudenhove-Kalergi Conspiracy, is a debunked far-right, antisemitic, white genocide conspiracy theory.
Do a search for "Kalegari Plan conspiracy" and you'll find all the evidence you'll need to debunk such garbage (that is, of course, if you have adequate critical thinking skills - which from your comments seems not).
Even my 84yo father who is constantly tuned into MSNBC is starting to realize things are not actually as they are shown to be, and the cognitive dissonance is confusing him, yet his eyes are beginning to flutter.
Whether you see thru the BS or not doesn’t matter. They have the guns,prisons and troops for anyone who protests. Many ppl CHOOSE not to see because it makes life easier.
“Just following orders” was not admissible as a mitigating factor at the Nuremberg Trials, yet disobeying orders as a matter of conscience is also punishable in modern-day defence forces.
No wonder they’re struggling to meet recruiting targets.
They are not struggling. The globalists have bases and troops all over the world.
They can always draft if need be. But you dont need ppl to fight these days. The US has many varieties of drones and robots. There will unimaginable slaughter, even worse than the middle east massacre.
When Chris Hedges was arrested in DC the police told him, "keep protesting." The collaboration of the police with the Jan 6th protesters was evident but the news suppressed.
"I’m often asked, would you order your men to fire on people? I say, they’d shoot me first."
— anonymous Internet commenter
It often works like that in revolutions. The troops get an order like this and they go over to the revolution instead. Russia, France, East Germany, Iran, Everyone is fed up with the incompetent and exploitative government and the whole thing is kept running only by fear of individual punishment. Often the food supply system has broken down, resulting in near-total rebellion.
The current USA is quite similar to the 1980's USSR with its total eclipse of truth and doddering leadership. No one I know of anticipated 1989-1991. The USSR had been stumbling along for so long it seemed like it would be forever.
The USA has lost popular support. The system is unstable and all energy is going toward further destabilization. There has already been a serious coup attempt. But it still has a strong food supply system and functioning economy. If those go then the whole thing goes. Or something like resurrecting the draft to feed the wars might cause widespread rebellion.
A minority can rule indefinitely if they have the support of the soldiers and police. We see this in South America.
There was a financial coup but there have been several. Everything keeps rolling along. The haves and have nots. The gap has widened and will continue. The brave revolutionaries of the past are gone. A strange future awaits.
that is only true under certain conditions. there are ways to seem to obey orders, to appear to obey orders and not obey at all. The final option is to say no, we won't obey an unconscionable or immoral order.
There is light at the end of the tunnel that our culture has dug for us. In this narrow one-dimensional world there is a wide open sky full of freedom yet to be explored, but a broader education is needed. Many of we the people have not been awakened to the possibilities available to us and the power elite at the top would prefer we do not understand how we have been screwed by the majority of billionaires who are out of touch with the common man. It is difficult to move out of this paradigm and into a tangible world of freedom. A world where "Yes we can!" really means just that. I'll say it again, "Yes we can!"
There must be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Pope Francis has said what is needed, now he must do what is needed by going to Gaza and standing for peace, justice and freedom.
Fuck that crypto-Jew, perverted, demon worshipping Pope Francis and his Babylonian, Talmud laced, pedophiliac, mongrel venerating and deviant promoting "church."
We just have to laugh, the truth is so outrageous as to be ludicrous, seguing into hilarity. For those that are insane enough to venerate that conical headed, servant of the Cryptocracy, asshole called the pope; "You'll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."
I was lsughing cause you outlined the truth as directly as i would. Im pissed off also. (You must be from NY). Im surrounded by zombie slaves that run constant one-upmanship with each other. A nation of jerks and the women who love them. It’s all a real shit show despite the technology.
You are right on the mark, Bombo, thanks. I'm from Zoo Jersey and have lived here all of my life excepting 4 years in Uncle Saul's Red, White, & Blue Bankster Enforcers. When I was a young whelp, I played drums in rock n' roll bands and played often in Jew York City. Now, you couldn't drag me there at gunpoint. Be well and stay strong.
many years ago, I signed them. Not one single one ever had any kind of result. I guess they just went into the trash can probably after the reptiles added your name to the list.
and what they did to Trump (understand this isn't about being a trump supporter) was far worse than the pentagon papers and they got away with the lies about russia collusion, the hunter laptop was a russian plant and all the malicious prosecutions of a political enemy by the supposedly non partisan department of justice.
completely agree. This lawfare is profoundly wrong. No matter who it is directed at. I despise the left and everything they want and are doing, I am against lawfare against them as well. Made me laugh to myself a little there. This attitude of fairness isn't shared by the left.
note. I actually meant to say watergate instead of pentagon papers. the left wanted Nixon gone and watergate was the opportunity. The point is that what the left did to Trump was far worse than what they did to Nixon. People went to jail over watergate. No one went to jail or had any kind of consequences over the multi year, multi effort to take Trump down.

Bradey’s generation is confronting a unique set of problems with a unique energy. Norm Finkelstein, who witnessed both movement eras, has commented about this.

If anyone is interested, theres a link in my timeline to a letter I wrote to our local weekly paper, with a video of one of these students confronting our congressman Adam Smith at a town hall event.

To Ela, who thinks Finkelstein controlled opposition. Any time a person has lost job, status, friends, etc. and has a degree, but not only those with degrees, I would suggest you run, not walk to hear him and why he "lost." That is the kind of person the USA needs desparately, and precisely why he should be followed and trusted. Those who have lost nothing are not to be trusted. Some of us call those who've lost and the journalists who had to start their own media outlets, INTEGRITY MEDIA, because people with integrity want to know and want to follow what can be discerned as truth, supported by the facts uncovered. You got to kinda be like a vole, a little critter that travels underground, but can destroy the entire plant by eating away at the root.

Because it is by corruption our government and many others are run.
well, maybe reframe as 'something they don't remember and can learn from' (since we're back at that point, empire seems to have learned from it).

If you have a fire in your heart for the best of humanity, look no further than Palestine and Palestinians. Their struggle is our struggle, is the entire world's struggle. Journalists need to start spelling it out for those of us who think but never learned to write, and those of us who learned to write, but never learned to think.
It is easy to see why the well educated wealthy think the way they do: they know how poorly educated and misled are the masses, and are quite convinced none of the masses will ever self educate, since the elite's intent is to limit or erase true history and any knowledge that would teach us how smart we are, us deplorables, and better we are than the elites, had we a head for autodidactcism.
You are right. There is hope. I don't believe for a second that the Wealthy are more intelligent than the masses. In fact I believe they have fallen victim to their own machinations, that they in fact are stupid and mentally ill in all sorts of ways and it's demonstrated everyday.
Yes, the Palastinians have shown us that their struggle is our struggle, the world masses' struggle and there's hope and strength in them and us. We can't believe what the Ruling class tell us about our selves. We have to believe in us and our wisdom and choice of actions to take the reigns of our society into our control. I believe we will treat each other equatably when we gain control our lives and resources.
"we will treat each other equitably when we gain control our lives and resources." I am with you on that, but which countries, of the leading BRICS has allowed that in their history? Should we disallow history or should we disallow those who cannot shake off the shackles of history? Do you really think the "we" you speak of can gain control of their own lives when, like in the USA, they've been so dumbed down as to not even know they've been dumbed down by their public schools who failed to teach a thorough and more truthful history than what public schools are allowed to teach, and what private schools can with leanings towards yet more of an economic creed that sucks the blood and resources of nations and keeps the people of those nations impoverished.
BTW: Love the word: Kakcocracy: "Rule or government by the worst of the people."
I do hope you do get the chance to contribute to a saner future Bradley. You and your contemporaries. I am 95 years old and my vision of the future is a narrow slit in time whereas you have life in front of you. I witnessed the wreckage left after WW1 . I was engaged in WW2 and then the Korean war. Then I woke up and became a peace activist and did some time on prison for nonviolent opposing the Vietnamese US. invasion. If you really want the future you deserve you should neither remain passive nor try to violently alter the future. You and your mates need to organise now .Be part of the great awakening which is just appearing on the horizon. First hope and then action... Good Luck.
Thank you and bless you Jack Lomax. You are proof that sanity and truth can evolve out of indoctrination. One will, mind, and heart at a time. Let us unite those wills, minds, and hearts. A follower in time - age 78.
I'm your junior,Jack, but I never forgot what my dad told us kids about the Korean War, had little to say about the Vietnam War, and I just keep studying beyond the bullshit told. Yes, the propaganda machine sure does know how gullible too many of us are because "they" dumbed us down in public schools. What in the fuck happened to Civics? Or truth in history? and how could there be truth when truth was missing? When I think "public school", I think one big propaganda machine. I would like to be part of private, non-profit school that depends on the parents and other like minded individuals to fund, and teachers are cool with the pay because they are not interested in being part of the problem.
I was part of a private, non profit school once. Not a lot better. They read the same propaganda.
I think that Gen Z is a changemaker generation. We have your backs Gen Z. Be bold.
AMEN
When I was about 10 years old I heard my father who had been injured in WW1 and up to that time a great supporter of it said to me 'Listen Jack their about to start it all up again. They did this to us and we fell for it and believed the rubbish that the Germans were stabbing babies with their bayonets .This talk about the Polish frontier... (it must have been 1939) .. means there going to start it all again. Don't believe the rubbish on the BBC and newspapers.......( I lived in England then not Australia)....... Since he'd always been saying it had been worth his getting injured in WW1 something must have woke him up. We didn't take any notice of what he was saying and my older brother was injured in WW2 and I was in the Korean war...... Now I know what the rubbish about China and Russia means. Like my dad said to me I'd say to you don't fall for their rubbish propaganda.
Love you Brady xoxo. So good to see some of our young wide awake.
It is nice to see young people awake but it would be even better if our middle aged and not so young politicians were awake instead of with their heads stuck in their money jars.
I think that is happening. I am 68 and to be honest, have been part of a minority who has seen the coming storm since I was younger and a child producing woman. I spoke out about it then, got totally crushed for speaking out, and am glad to see finally, not just more understanding our USA reality, but world wide as well.
I don't think our middle aged politicians are better than before. In fact, if it is possible, I think that sometimes they are worse. I am even older than you and I have watched this happening for a long time. I have been ridiculed, ignored and disliked. I think younger people are doing a lot of good by supporting Palestine, but outside of those people there are too many young people who think the holocaust never happened and nazism is a good idea.
Women have known since they were very young that we are spun a bunch of garbage about male superiority in strength and reasoning power. People of colour have realized for a long time that we are fed a bunch of crap about what is better. Indigenous people have long known that European ways were not going to make anything better. The worldview is mass produced alright. By a bunch of egotistical men and their female supporters, by a bunch of people who think their skin colour makes them better, by people who just do not understand indigenous relationships to the earth and then try to ridicule those ideas away.
"indigenous relationships to the earth and then try to ridicule those ideas away." Not to go terribly deep, but first "gods" were "goddesses" and they got buried by a sex that felt it necessary to do so. Some have estimated that had "goddesses" prevailed, we would not be the war planning/needing/wanting/fuckedup/totally gross/ country that we are. All we have done is encourage others to have nuclear weapons. With everyone having nuclear weapons, how might that increase the chances of total destruction of life on the planet, given what we think our arguments are for waging stupid fucking wars in the first place? Replies welcome.
From my perspective, the whole game they are playing with nuclear threats is unbelievably stupid. When I was about 20 I studied radiation physics and I learned that there is no safe level of radiation. It is cumulative and does not disappear for thousands of years. The people running things these days seem to have no idea what radiation is. So they threaten well, what? to annihilate themselves along with the rest of us? They will be just as vulnerable once they emerge from their bunkers to a completely radiated world, water, air, plants, animals. They probably think we are safe from the fukishima and chernobyl radiation by now.
hilarious comments.
It's not just those freaking out about the future, but also those believing they can alter it by working within present structures. I have loving, highly educated friends whose children are smart, talented in diverse arenas, creative, artistic etc. Yet these crucial citizens of the future often wish to intern in DC, investing their brilliance into a current US socio-political-economic system that's as corrupt as it is useless to most of its people and destructive to the planet and the remainder of world citizenry. A disheartening commentary on the fact that education and the ability to think critically are still swamped for both parent and child by the tsunami of brainwashing that produces this mass psychosis about which you write so elegantly.
" I have loving, highly educated friends whose children are smart, talented in diverse arenas, creative, artistic etc. Yet these crucial citizens of the future often wish to intern in DC, investing their brilliance into a current US socio-political-economic system that's as corrupt as it is useless." Seems to me you need to feed your ideas to your family, be the bad guy at the table but that you pretend to so unwillingly eat at.
No one's pretending anything, except that you merely decided to make that assumption. I just, last Thursday finished a conversation begun months ago. hurling extreme skepticism at a 45 y-o friend [mom] about her 21 y-o son's interest in polysci in the face of his considerable other talents and how he'd be wasted and possibly ruined in the current climate of lies and corruption in DC. I'm talking from my experience, not hypothetically, and not pulling rhetorical punches with these folks; I assume they respect me enough to listen, -- that's all I can hope for.
"People who still believe that the news media tell them the truth and that their nation and their world work pretty much the way they were taught in school are just as brainwashed and deluded as any QAnon cultist. The only difference is that their delusions are much more widely shared, and that the mechanisms used to brainwash them are much more high-budget and sophisticated. The mainstream worldview is really just a mass-produced artificial psychosis."
The other difference is that one set of delusions happens to coincide with Establishment interests, and the other does not.
I wonder if QAnon is not also part of the game. AFAICS, QAnon seems to be pretty much herding those believers into the arms of the other approved camp, rather than towards any sort of revolutionary questioning of the entire fabric. It's gotten to the point where absolutely anything I can see or hear about in the mainstream media must be carefully considered as to whether it is part of the approved agenda. It's only here on the margins can we begin to see some semblance of truth.
Take what the mainstream med says and reverse it. That'll be the truth about 90% of the time.
I don't remember who said it recently, maybe Caitlin, but it was along the lines that what we are being given is so false, that even the opposite is still false. I think that is something to consider.
Agreed. It's good to start reading with a blank mind (if it's possible) then start exploring how many lies you have caught before you get to the truth which of course may not be the truth.
past wondering here.
Very well said Joy.
QAnon is just a twist on the old NESARA cult.
QAnon is an obvious psy-op of the Cryptocracy. Around 2012, well over a decade ago, two assholes on the internet, David Wilcock & Benjamin Fulford, were braying like jackasses in a pepper patch, saying the same things Q says. They even used the same term, "The White Hats." Well, what the fuck are these alleged "White Hats" waiting for to make their move and clean house? How many more people have to be murdered or impoverished by the Beast? How much tighter must the chains of slavery be fastened? How many hundreds of thousands more children kidnapped, tortured, and sold into sex slavery? How much more of the life support systems on earth have to be destroyed by their satanic geoengineers? etc., etc., ad nauseum. Further, if you think for one moment that the Cryptocracy, with its NSA, NRO, etc. agencies possessing their super quantum computers can't track, identify, and either "Cap" or arrest these mythical Q people, you are seriously deluded.
I've come to the conclusion that many big names in the Health Freedom/anti bug eating/ anti 15 min cities movement are definitely part of the game and have used da covid and genuine (and justified) anti vax sentiment for political gain.
Conspiracy theories work both ways. To smear the preventative medicine movement as nutters as well as to target them with nonsense about climate change being debunked, immigrants being to blame for everything and Jewish bankers being intent on stealing the middle classes' money.
Two wings, same bird. Inverse directions to the same destination. 1 vector, 2 motions. When you are given just 2 apparent choices, you can rest assured the Hegelian game is afoot.

Very well done. Holds truth and integrity in its reporting.
Thank you, Feral! Anything corporate media "attack" is almost always something good for the public to consider. My conclusions follow, with links live here: https://carlbherman.blogspot.com/2024/07/55-minute-video-need-to-know-news-lucid.html
I’m at 95% certainty that White Hats are in control of AmRev2/WW3, with the single best evidence being a 49-minute summary of Charlie Freak’s epic 7-hour presentation of verifiable facts (censored multiple times, and in 4 parts here). More strong briefings:
* Good Lion Films’ 120 minute The Greatest Show on Earth.
* Mike King’s documented timeline of extra-ordinary events consistent with White Hat military intervention to document and publicly expose “official” lies/crimes.
* NewsTreason’s 10 Videos That Prove ‘You Are Watching A Movie’ - A Channel 17 Special.
* Nicholas Veniamin’s 63-minute video from 57 sources of testimony, documents, and photo/video evidence to communicate emerging breakthroughs empowering us into a Star Trek-like future.
The distance between “conspiracy theory” and truth is about 6 months.
My goodness, Caitlin. You always amaze, but this piece is one of the most insightful and well-written articles I have ever read. I’m forwarding it to everyone I know … unfortunately, most of them are Red or Blue Bubbleheads. Thank you.
Brilliant post, Caitlin, but I emphatically and respectfully disagree with your closure. The vast majority of the herd are so programmed and softened in the spine and mind that they will never snap out of their death dream trance. Truth is, they actually prefer slavery. True freedom and liberty frightens them and threatens their tiny, little bow wrapped gift box of a world. Further, as long as these robotized, untermenschen have enough to eat, a roof over their empty heads, and Talmudvision (TV) along with their I (idiot) - phones to sate their digital addictions, they will never revolt against their master and his whip. All the way to the charnel house.
Historically proven. Entitled in the heart of the empire never wake up, until it is too late. However, for decades, I have had intelligent , well informed conversations in countries where they are on the other end of our weaponry.
Some African Americans call it the beat down.
Excellent post, Pippi. You are right about the "Entitled". However, I was primarily referring to the masses that are asses. This herd is far from being entitled and these dim, programmed, featherless bipeds are as aware as your average fence-post. Facts, documentation, and verifiable evidence are irrelevant to them. Anything that conflicts or contradicts their programming or world of Talmudic delusions they quickly and automatically reject. Like I said, they'll maintain this suicidal posture all the way to the charnel house.
I was referring to the masses as well. The people I spoke to in other countries could be poor and “uneducated”, but knew exactly what was going on. Reality does that to you. The masses in the heart of the empire are entitled enough to be wilfully blind. Those with dead, dying, ill , disappeared, or imprisoned family are not. The masses are kept sleepwalking with crumbs of the empire. They respond as children. They refuse the responsibility and accountability of adultifying.
This is an old template.
Indeed it is, Pippi, a very old template.
Optimism is a good thing, but it’s disturbing how often people refuse to see truth when it’s presented to them. I’ve had people tell me, “That’s scary” (= shut up), “I don’t want to know about that,” or even, “I’m happy in my ignorance.” Maybe we’ll get the point where it’s easier to acknowledge truth than to live in the illusion, but I don’t think that’s right around the corner. It could take a long time.
Jody: My sister tells me all the time she doesn't want to know about: climate change, Gaza, food insecurity, ecological devastation, Gaza, mass extinction, GAZA, etc. Her reason is "she has grandchildren and she can't stand to see people bombed, or somesuch." My husband and I are raising our two granddaughters, but she doesn't see the irony in what she says. In my view, these people are lost causes and I actually don't want to be friends with them, better to build community with friends/relatives/colleagues who read and think and care about others. That's what I've decided, but it took me 5-7 years to get to this point after retiring, reading, listening, and learning.
That's very unfortunate it's your sister thinking that. I've pondered the same with 'friends' on Instagram who I thought were conscious people, but refuse to even acknowledge the subject. It's heartbreaking and I've slowly removed them, having faith that the next chapter will begin with more conscious friends.
I have a sister too. It’s very hard.
Your sister doesn't want to know about this either-
“We intend to turn Europe and North America into a mixed mongrel race of Asians and Negros ruled over by Jews.”
– Richard Kalergi, President of the Paneuropean Union
And Kalergi was a ____😱
BULLSHIT! The Kalergi Plan, sometimes called the Coudenhove-Kalergi Conspiracy, is a debunked far-right, antisemitic, white genocide conspiracy theory.
You can read more about it here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan) and other places.
Do a search for "Kalegari Plan conspiracy" and you'll find all the evidence you'll need to debunk such garbage (that is, of course, if you have adequate critical thinking skills - which from your comments seems not).
Is that what gOoGle told you? Lmfao!
Your hammer nails it again. Very well done.
Even my 84yo father who is constantly tuned into MSNBC is starting to realize things are not actually as they are shown to be, and the cognitive dissonance is confusing him, yet his eyes are beginning to flutter.
Whether you see thru the BS or not doesn’t matter. They have the guns,prisons and troops for anyone who protests. Many ppl CHOOSE not to see because it makes life easier.
Don’t worry folks, no one makes it out alive.
The soldiers and police don't believe in The System. And The System knows it.
Hello Patrick - how did you conclude US troops would disobey direct orders? I speak to many and they must obey, even if they don’t like it.
“Just following orders” was not admissible as a mitigating factor at the Nuremberg Trials, yet disobeying orders as a matter of conscience is also punishable in modern-day defence forces.
No wonder they’re struggling to meet recruiting targets.
They are not struggling. The globalists have bases and troops all over the world.
They can always draft if need be. But you dont need ppl to fight these days. The US has many varieties of drones and robots. There will unimaginable slaughter, even worse than the middle east massacre.
When Chris Hedges was arrested in DC the police told him, "keep protesting." The collaboration of the police with the Jan 6th protesters was evident but the news suppressed.
"I’m often asked, would you order your men to fire on people? I say, they’d shoot me first."
— anonymous Internet commenter
It often works like that in revolutions. The troops get an order like this and they go over to the revolution instead. Russia, France, East Germany, Iran, Everyone is fed up with the incompetent and exploitative government and the whole thing is kept running only by fear of individual punishment. Often the food supply system has broken down, resulting in near-total rebellion.
The current USA is quite similar to the 1980's USSR with its total eclipse of truth and doddering leadership. No one I know of anticipated 1989-1991. The USSR had been stumbling along for so long it seemed like it would be forever.
The USA has lost popular support. The system is unstable and all energy is going toward further destabilization. There has already been a serious coup attempt. But it still has a strong food supply system and functioning economy. If those go then the whole thing goes. Or something like resurrecting the draft to feed the wars might cause widespread rebellion.
A minority can rule indefinitely if they have the support of the soldiers and police. We see this in South America.
Serious coup?? I hope you dont mean Jan 6th.
There was a financial coup but there have been several. Everything keeps rolling along. The haves and have nots. The gap has widened and will continue. The brave revolutionaries of the past are gone. A strange future awaits.
that is only true under certain conditions. there are ways to seem to obey orders, to appear to obey orders and not obey at all. The final option is to say no, we won't obey an unconscionable or immoral order.
Hey wilson, what you say might be true but the administration can always hire mercenaries, foreign mercenaries. Know what I mean?
they can hire mercenaries and they will. That is what 20 million military age illegal aliens from the third world are for.
Correct
Mercenaries. I see a lot of people from the countries of almost 500 wars Amurdica has engaged in since 1776, in the ranks. Think they forget?
There is light at the end of the tunnel that our culture has dug for us. In this narrow one-dimensional world there is a wide open sky full of freedom yet to be explored, but a broader education is needed. Many of we the people have not been awakened to the possibilities available to us and the power elite at the top would prefer we do not understand how we have been screwed by the majority of billionaires who are out of touch with the common man. It is difficult to move out of this paradigm and into a tangible world of freedom. A world where "Yes we can!" really means just that. I'll say it again, "Yes we can!"
There must be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Pope Francis has said what is needed, now he must do what is needed by going to Gaza and standing for peace, justice and freedom.

Fuck that crypto-Jew, perverted, demon worshipping Pope Francis and his Babylonian, Talmud laced, pedophiliac, mongrel venerating and deviant promoting "church."
HAHAHAHA…….haha
We just have to laugh, the truth is so outrageous as to be ludicrous, seguing into hilarity. For those that are insane enough to venerate that conical headed, servant of the Cryptocracy, asshole called the pope; "You'll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."
I was lsughing cause you outlined the truth as directly as i would. Im pissed off also. (You must be from NY). Im surrounded by zombie slaves that run constant one-upmanship with each other. A nation of jerks and the women who love them. It’s all a real shit show despite the technology.
Right on HD.💪
You are right on the mark, Bombo, thanks. I'm from Zoo Jersey and have lived here all of my life excepting 4 years in Uncle Saul's Red, White, & Blue Bankster Enforcers. When I was a young whelp, I played drums in rock n' roll bands and played often in Jew York City. Now, you couldn't drag me there at gunpoint. Be well and stay strong.
I think I outlined the problem with the Pope clearly enough.

A punch in the face
There are a bunch of faces I would dearly love to punch,
Faces of prominent public persons who create a well deserved response of hate,
Faces of politicians like Blinken and Biden and the whole " deep state",
Whose smirking smug expressions desecrate
All the agonised deaths their vile calculations orchestrate,
And I feel no qualms to advocate
A therapeutic fist in the mug of such a reprobate,
Especially if it renders the patient as sedate
As one of those gratefully referred to as " the late".
One of your best, and they’re all brilliant. Thank you Caitlin 👏👏👏
My unraveling began in the early 60’s boiling over with the Pentagon papers. Thank you for being so smart and writing with such heart.
and what they did to Trump (understand this isn't about being a trump supporter) was far worse than the pentagon papers and they got away with the lies about russia collusion, the hunter laptop was a russian plant and all the malicious prosecutions of a political enemy by the supposedly non partisan department of justice.
Oh my, you are so confused. Your seeing trump as some kind of savior is the biggest mind fuck since Christianity descended on the world.
(understand this isn't about being a trump supporter)
The Flynn prosecution was in 2020 and completely outrageous, a 100% phony political prosecution.
completely agree. This lawfare is profoundly wrong. No matter who it is directed at. I despise the left and everything they want and are doing, I am against lawfare against them as well. Made me laugh to myself a little there. This attitude of fairness isn't shared by the left.
note. I actually meant to say watergate instead of pentagon papers. the left wanted Nixon gone and watergate was the opportunity. The point is that what the left did to Trump was far worse than what they did to Nixon. People went to jail over watergate. No one went to jail or had any kind of consequences over the multi year, multi effort to take Trump down.
