It’s a feature, not a bug. People would do well to remember the old ways of handling this. Literally nothing else will rid us of this affliction.

Pitchforks or guillotine.

J. Lee Austin's avatar

With the "short drop" ... since the long one is too good for them ... a la Nuremberg 😜

Nick Douglas's avatar

Well a long rope or guillotine. The end result is the same - decapitation.

J. Lee Austin's avatar

Of course, but the short drop makes it last a bit longer, which is why they chose it at Nuremburg, or so I'm told 😜

We also have more modern implements that might make the endeavor a bit more streamlined.

M F's avatar

It depends what you mean by implements. Impeachment, legal contestation, convictions have done very little and gone not very far to punish let alone overthrow the Epstein class. The voting system especially in USA leads typically to a choice between Epstein hard or Epstein soft. The heavily armed police, security forces and of course the military itself are brainwashed to follow orders, not the law or the Constitution.

Would you believe it's us that support all this and are responsible for it? What we do in the micro is what is projected onto the macro. This is very important information to comprehend. All we've been told in the past was a very one-sided interpretation of reality. All the ideas - police, constitutions, law, jails, wars, schooling systems, finance, all of it is purely male-designed. Women had nothing to do with all of it except go along or they'd get kicked out of society or their own home. We really need to look inward in all this because we do things to each other that make life quite ugly and our beliefs are incredibly retarded. We still kill our own kind, not just intentionally but SYSTEMATICALLY. OH dear that is so far from what humans actually are about. It all happened when we agreed that it's ok to kill our own whereas that ought to be the utmost, vociferously repeated every time there is a breach of this conduct of intentionally killing our own. That goes against biology. So we really need to start at the ground floor now and build a new world brick by brick.

Hilary Clinton was a gleeful warmonger all too eager for brown corpses. Madelaine Albright and Condoleeza Rice of the same ilk.

Ok now this is often cited as an equivalence to the ratio of men who do those things. If you look at it in ratios, you can see the big picture because we all know men kill, rape, steal, traumatize, intimidate much more than women like way more. Percentages for example of violent crime cite men are perpetrators in 95% of them (roughly). The instances you can cite women comes nowhere near seeing the big picture of the differential in such a comparison. Do you get my drift?

Elusive1's avatar

I get what you mean, but let's stay away from the divisiveness of male/female, etc ... and "they" (those who rule behind the scenes) built all this for us and we were born into it.

Starting at the ground floor? YES!!!!

denise ward's avatar

Why stay away from the male/female? Why would it be divisive? And why would we not want to scrutinize it even more if it IS divisive? That's a bit like someone bringing up Palestinians in a liberal country club gathering - "oh let's not speak about this it's too divisive". We ought to speak about anything that makes us feel we can't talk speak about, we need to speak about it MORE if it is divisive and get to the bottom of it rather than "sweep it under the rug"

CJ>>"In a healthy society, a person of conscience would thrive while a sociopath would be shunned and marginalized. In western society it’s the exact opposite: people of conscience are sent to prison, and sociopaths are made president of the United States."

Caitlin, so well expressed! Thank you! ❤️🙏

Phil Ingram's avatar

Thank you Caitlin - you are brilliant at putting into words what so many of us are thinking - the world really is upside down!

The Matrix - you can't get out while you don't know you're in.

denise ward's avatar

Now that we know we are in a matrix, now what, would you say?

Kathleen McCroskey's avatar

Resist! And Caitlin keeps providing the truth.

denise ward's avatar

Yes but do you know WHY it is upside down?

John Day MD's avatar

I'm sorry the UK is treating people with conscience so unjustly, as they did with Julian Assange, essentially torturing them in public as an object lesson.

denise ward's avatar

It is a projection of our own cowardice, I don't necessarily mean you or anyone reading this but us, "the sh!tkickers". We do it to each other on the personal scale and so what we get on the macro scale is exponentially what we are. It can go the good way too. But right now, it's going all the way BAD.

"They’re actually punishing people for not acting like sociopaths."

They are. It's like we're all living in a surreal comedy, but unlike a Monty Python sketch, it isn't funny. Seriously, we've got to lock up the sociopaths so those with a conscience are allowed to live and thrive. Our planet and our children's future depends upon it.

You can't be serious: in the land of the brave and the free?

Fiona Colin's avatar

How maddening that those who will eventually be generally recognised as criminal will never be punished.

On May 4, 1970, four Kent State University students were shot dead on campus by police - for protesting the war being waged on Vietnam.

War = Peace

Freedom = Obedience

Money = Speech

Education = No Questions

2026 = 1984

denise ward's avatar

Peace = ? (what is your concept of it, how do you envisage peace?)

Speech = ? (what do you regard as speech? Is it all speech, or some speech, or speech with conditions?)

Education = ? (what is your concept of a stupendous (not just ok) education?)

2026 = 005/006 (This has something to do with change we can have this year if we choose to)

Great article. So true. Recent extremist crap started with the fascist orange freak' and his repellent sycophants and the isrehell nazi fascists. Actually the states has always been extremely right wing. Never been worse than now. Long live Free independent speech. Fuck the fascists

"The agenda to dominate and control the entire human population is evil, because it can only be accomplished through nonstop war, militarism, propaganda, deception, and tyranny." Wanting to dominate and control the entire human population is immoral, wrong, inhuman, inhumane however it is accomplished. Sometimes the people that seem the most kind and empathetic are manipulating us. Not always. We need to pay attention to actions and less to empty statements and promises. We need to learn how to tell the difference between propaganda and truth.

The cases will be noted. The records will be pulled. Those responsible will be apprehended, charged prosecuted and punished. Justice is good.

denise ward's avatar

It is us that is/are responsible. If you listen to the punks that give orders, then that's actually your own choice. Until each person takes that responsibility and holds others accountable to that responsibility too, the ignorant will direct reality. Holding someone accountable doesn't mean make them do it your way, it means calling them out, citing them, speak it into words where at least one other can hear you speak them. When we start doing this we will have "prepared the soil" for the ones who do good to direct reality.

Denise: Justice is not an individual responsibility however responsible we are to do justice — each and every one of us.

In the perspective I bring, all justice is class justice, which is to say that it is social justice, which is to say that there will be no justice apart from social revolution.

denise ward's avatar

So what is the next step to your solution if that be social revolution? What do you suggest we do as individuals?

Rodolfo Marusi Guareschi's avatar

Exactly! And upstream, there are two handfuls of people who, through the banking system, control the money created from nothing with interest-bearing loans, with which they control the world. The only way out of this situation is to adopt Dhana, the currency of labour.

denise ward's avatar

Yes! And do you know the platform is available to do this now? It's called hOurWorld.org

Everyone ought to be on a local currency based on labor. You're absolutely correct.

Though there are other things we could base a currency on, for quick forward action, basing it on labor will do till we get past this first phase into a matrix we the people design and build.

Uncertain justice, mass surveillance, terror, human isolation: these are the hallmarks of a dictator state. It's nothing new in human history - but then, so is our own mortality. Can one believe in anything more?

denise ward's avatar

I think you could just say state. All statism is dictatorial. It does do a lot of window dressing to pretend it isn't. But it will always be. Although THAT is not the problem. The problem is BELIEVING in the state and obeying the state. But if one didn't believe in it, they wouldn't obey it.

Anti-genocide protestors who stopped traffic on Golden Gate Bridge area on trial now, (not for terrorism, at least) with potential prison sentences of up to 25 years waved around. On line commenters mostly seem to approve, although photos used to illustrate the article show "first responders" standing around with their parked vehicles long after "protesters" had been arrested and carted off to some dungeon. Double bind.

denise ward's avatar

If we want to make them impotent we have to be done with the idea of protesting. The psychopaths are in control now. We have to work smarter. I don't mean doing any thing secret, no quite the opposite we speak the speech MORE not less. Let it come from everywhere. Say the word that gets you jailed is anti-Semite, then we say it more, we get a friend to say it, write in and let it like a deluge flood the internet. It doesn't work if only one or a few do it. It has to be done EN MASSE. We need the wherewithal and the loyalty to humanity to do it together in great numbers.
