Hospital “covid” protocol: 1. Patient comes in with broken hip. 2. Gets tested for convid. 3. Gets sedated. 4. Gets intubated. 5. Gets killed. 6 hospital collects $39,000. 7. Doctors do a little dance routine.

This wasn’t a nuclear blast, it was relentless deliberate nonstop bombing for 2+ years backed and sponsored by the US and the west empire. Biden did most of the heavy lifting and Trump completed the job. Bipartisan evil. This is where your tax money goes. This is why you’re poor.

"New episode of The 9/11 Files: They Could Have Stopped It..." No shit! There is no terrorist act that occurred, or may happen in the Western empire or its sphere of influence which is not in some way sanctioned and allowed or down right planned by its intelligence agencies.

"Why don’t we have ways to prevent bubbles?" Central banks and government create easy money/credit and give it to cronies to maintain own power and control. The easy money is then used to hype and dump stupid assets such as AI. Few get billions, most get inflation.

Stirner's critique of ideology reaches its climax with postulation of interest as an ultimate value. Ideology, following this analysis, is the diametrical opposite to interest. It constitutes an order of consciousness which stands against enjoyment and realization. It is not a sublimation in the sense of "raising up" of instinctual energy; it is rather a means for destructive displacement or repression of passion, for reduction of human possibility. John Carroll

JD Vance is more fake and made up than Trump. He is a walking psy op. A right wing version of Obama.

One interesting difference I've noticed between the West and China, that few speak about, is the difference in approach when it comes to narrative management. To a large extent the West's approach is to change the narrative in order to change reality, whereas China's approach is almost the opposite: change reality in order to change the narrative. It's basically materialism vs idealism. Take two concrete examples. On the West's side, a fantastic illustration is presidential campaign slogans like Obama's "yes we can" or Trump's "make America great again." Pure narrative stuff, extremely aspirational and grandiose, all about believing change into existence. And what change exactly? These slogans can mean many things to many different people and that's the entire point: it's a blank canvas where everyone can project their own hopes, the goal being to win a battle of words, reality comes later. There are very deep roots to this. In fact John 1:1 (first verse of first chapter of the Gospel of John) states: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"! Talk about foundational! In Chinese culture, by contrast, talk is cheap, vulgar even. This really surprised me at the beginning with my wife (whom I met already more than 20 years ago!). She was really uncomfortable, even borderline annoyed when I was telling her that I loved her. In her mind, you just don't say those things, rather you should act to demonstrate them. And this is the case in most Chinese family. It's rare to say "I love you". But in exchange the devotion and dedication Chinese parents and grandparents will demonstrate to their offspring is absolutely unparalleled. In Chinese culture it's very much about proving your love. Speaking about love is borderline insulting, or at least seen in a somewhat manipulative light, as if you need to convince someone of something that should be obvious through your behavior. Same thing with the government. Many people think the Chinese government are good at propaganda when in truth they're remarkably unsophisticated at it - they'll lift 800 million people out of poverty but really struggle to articulate a compelling story around it. They'll share statistics and show before/after photos, as if the reality is all the narrative you need. And maybe they're right 🤷 This also probably has a lot to do with why Chinese people find the US-style selection of president so foreign. "You mean you select someone based on what they SAY? But they'll say anything to get elected" is basically the view. To the Chinese, a meritocratic system whereby those who have demonstrated an ability to get things done during years get progressively promoted makes way more sense. This also has very deep philosophical roots. Shen Buhai, a foundational 4th century BCE political philosopher had this famous dictum: "The sage ruler depends upon methods, not on his sagacity. He employs technique, not theory." (philpapers.org/archive/MATHID…) In other words sage rulers shouldn't persuade but focus on methods and techniques that produce measurable results. This is similar to the concept of 无为 (wu wei), which influenced Daoist thought, where effective action comes from aligning with how things actually work. Reality comes first, not the word. This has plenty of concrete consequences, and probably is in no small way a reason why Marx's historical materialism - the idea that material conditions and economic relations form the base that determines the ideological superstructure - did resonate strongly in China, and less in the West. And this translates also, to some extent, to the current change of the world order. As I argued in my new article yesterday (open.substack.com/pub/arnaudbert…) we're currently witnessing a shift where "the map is reasserting itself against the narrative", where geography is starting again to matter more than stories (when, during a long time, being a “democracy” or an “ally” or part of the “rules-based order” determined your place in the world). This, no doubt, is in no small way a vindication that these old 2500-year-old Chinese thinkers might have been onto something.

The survival of liberty requires more than parchment barriers or checks and balances. It requires the dismantling of the state and the replacement of coercive monopolies with voluntary institutions. The anarcho-capitalist vision, pioneered by Molinari and given systematic form by Rothbard, is not a utopian dream but the consistent completion of the liberal project.

September is Constitution Month, a celebration of the document produced by the 1787 Convention to replace the Articles of Confederation. Predictably, whether Republican or Democrat, there was no shortage of public effusions in its praise. Even libertarians, inheritors of the tradition of classical liberalism, are inclined to celebrate. This is, however, a mistake. For it was precisely their faith in constitutionalism that proved its great undoing. Indeed, the tragedy of classical liberalism is not simply that it was betrayed by later generations, or that its ideals were corrupted by progressives. Its failure was more profound: it trusted the state to limit itself.

One of the most memorable passages in the memoir of the escaped slave Frederick Douglass is where he describes how one group of slaves would argue with another group of slaves over whose master was richer or stronger. Exhibiting a mixture of Stockholm syndrome with delusions of grandeur, these slaves, according to Douglass, “seemed to think that the greatness of their masters was transferable to themselves.” Moreover, Douglass noted that the slaves tended to not judge the behavior of their masters by any set objective standards, but in comparison to other masters.

Israeli-Aligned Billionaires Seize TikTok in Battle for U.S. Narrative Control The White House has announced that the forced sale of TikTok will be finalized this week. The new ownership led by Larry Ellison - the largest individual donor to the IDF - will take control of U.S. user data and the algorithm which the White House says will be "retrained". Ellison, who made his fortune developing Oracle - a database system he originally built for the CIA - already controls CBS, Paramount, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime, Nickelodeon (which makes kids shows) as well as Channel 10 in Australia and Channel 5 in the UK. Ellison is also expected to finalize control over Warner Bros. Discovery (including CNN, HBO and the Discovery channel) before the end of 2025. Even before the forced sale is finalised, censorship of TikTok content critical of Israel, including of the deal itself, has reached extreme levels as the platform moves to align with its prospective new owners. Fox – a Murdoch asset - is also seeking to join the Ellison consortium, a move that could enable cross-promotion between Fox and TikTok, further tightening the Israeli-aligned information bubble. Disapproval of what Israel is doing in Gaza has risen to 60% of the US population, nearly double the approval rate of 32%. The U.S. still has over three years of Trump left. Israeli-aligned Jewish billionaires control OpenAI, Google, Meta/Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp, Palantir, CBS, HBO, and most of Conde Nast (Reddit, Vogue, The New Yorker, Wired, GQ, Vanity Fair) as well as numerous Hollywood studios, regional papers and radio stations. Europe, meanwhile, remains largely absent, offering little real competition in the information space. Its one real success story? Telegram, which it managed to comprehensively alienate after France arrested its founder, supposedly for not handing over enough user data. Will the EU and other U.S. allies align with the “Israelified” TikTok algorithm, or attempt to create a politicised alternative of their own? Decentralised alternatives like Keet and Nostr offer strong resistance to censorship but are still young. Larger platforms like Telegram and Rednote carry serious risks of censorship, including eventual sell-off to other interests. For users the sweet spot may be to use both. One for political reliability, the others for a (politically temporary) audience.

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb: If people do not comply with digital ID, it will fail. "It is the cornerstone of the entire UN Agenda 2030. Without it, the programmable, surveillable money won't work... What they want to do in the online virtual world will not work. So much of it will not work if we do not comply with digital ID." "If you want to change the direction the world is going, you need to figure out how you are going to set up your life so you don't have to comply with digital ID." "If you were forced to comply with vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, how will you get around those type of restrictions when they try and impose digital ID on people for various reasons?" "I think it's very important for people to realise that they have the power. Otherwise, they wouldn't be investing all this money to manipulate us and pitch us on this." "We don't need this biometric digital ID surveillance state that's going to be used not just to surveil what we're doing in real time, but also to predict what we might do in the future." "That is the world they're setting up. It is very bad, and we should opt out. And we can opt out." Credit: @_whitneywebb @thecoastguy
