“That’s the power of the Heirarchy—we do, because there is no standing apart. You fight the tyranny of the many, or you are one of them. Silence is a statement, Diago. Inaction picks a side. And when those lead to personal benefit, they are complicity.” - The Will of the Many, by James Islington

Orthodoxy = Radicalism * Truth + Time A Radical ideas based on the nature of reality over a long enough timeline become the orthodox way of thinking Until some minute detail that didn’t fully agree with the nature of reality is confronted by a radical idea that is more closely aligned with the nature of reality replaces it over time ad infinitum

I’ve seen quite a few people saying that the Trump-Musk feud is a distraction and asking, from what? It’s almost all distraction and maxing out everyone’s bandwidth. So what is it distracting YOU from is the question. What is important to you that you’re being distracted from? I don’t have an answer for everyone but my answer is; WAR The Global Empire, like all empires in history, get overextended and collapse under their own administrative weight. Maintaining the Empire is bankrupting us like it did the Soviet Union except we’re footing the bill for the entire globe, not 1/3 of it. We have better financiers who have been able to keep the house of cards going for longer. But eventually, it collapses. I can’t tell you when, I just know it’s a certainty. Could be in 5-10 years, may not happen in my kid’s lifetime. But it will. How low is your time preference for moving to a better system? Because I don’t want my kid to live in a collapsing world that isn’t prepared because we put our head in the sand. I want to work with people to start building the future we want for our kids. We don’t need the government’s permission to do what we think is best for our children. We can just start building it and let the ass clowns in DC continue to act like children fighting over their shitty toy.

It’s Murph Time Don’t just enjoy your Memorial Day, earn it!

Beautiful Memorial Day sermon Many people have died to give us freedom, just like Jesus died to set our souls free It’s up to us to earn that freedom everyday by choosing to serve God and our fellow man

@S2Underground on Nostr is high signal!!

When you put your faith in humans don’t be surprised when they start acting like humans Put your faith in God. Live to serve Him and be the best version of yourself you can be, not for yourself, but for Him who has given everything to us

Why do humans look to the stars, knowing there is no fathomable way we can reach almost any of it? For the same reason the early human looked across the water at a distant island long before the invention of a boat They kept hope, wonder, and imagination alive long enough for technology and insightful humans to figure out how to travel across those vast distances

So Trump selects the guy who supports the government’s ability to spy on American citizens to head the CIA… using the same process that allowed the Deep State to spy on his campaign and frame him for conspiring with a hostile foreign adversary?! “The incoming CIA director is a supporter of sweeping government surveillance powers as he lobbied for the extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a law that allows the government to spy on American citizens without a warrant.” - Dave DeCamp

The Roman Empire attempted to incorporate all the Gods of the people it conquered, so as to bring them into the cultural fold. By prioritizing and accepting everything, the destroyed the culture that made them exceptional. The American Empire has done the same thing and it will end the same way; by barbarians picking apart the useful scraps of the Empire and forging new nations from its carcass. View quoted note →

38th book of 2024 complete: Becoming A Barbarian by Jack Donovan Second time reading this book as well. This 3-part series should be read every year and could really be made into one book. But Becoming A Barbarian really gets into how you tap into tribalism and head down the path of The Way of Men. The most poignant take away is how “The Empire of Nothing” pushes universal moralism to the point of accepting anything and anyone, at the expense of everyone’s individuality and common sense. If you prioritize everything, you’ve prioritized nothing.

31st book of 2024 complete: Civilian Warriors by Erik Prince I finished this a couple weeks ago but I wanted to finish the Tucker Carlson interview of Prince first While I can’t rule out that the book was written for damage control and to reshape the image and narrative around Backwater and Prince, the USG propaganda machine was certainly directed at conservative organizations at this time. And while I use to think the contractors were exorbitantly paid, Prince does an excellent job of pointing out how US Service Members are paid through benefits that far exceed their salaries. The fact is, for the Lizard class who wants the US continually engaged in conflicts around the world while the Federal deficit is spiraling out of control, this business model is the only way to make it happen. Ironically, they should be praising Prince for showing them how it should be done. Luckily for the Freedom Fighters, he seems to be out of that game. Although the CIA connections are still something to remain vigilant about. I’d recommend reading this book for a better understanding of PMCs, government propaganda and tactics against political opponents, and some insight in to ways future wars might be funded and conducted.

30th book of 2024 complete: I came into this book cautiously, not sure if it was a hit piece being waged against America’s warriors or a well researched and thorough piece of actual journalism. While I’m still waiting to hear back from a Navy Seal buddy to get his take, I believe this is an accurate and well researched book. HOWEVER, most of the acts described in the book, while awful, I don’t believe to be unique to Seal Team 6. Over 20+ years of the Forever Wars similar and worst acts have been committed across units of all types. They are always the exception to the rule of the American Warrior’s ethos and unless you’ve experienced combat and understand the monster that lives in all of us, it is difficult to understand the fine line between lethally trained strategically employed violence and psychopathic murderers. Certainly this book points out the failures of officers up and down the chain of command as well as civilian leaders who are suppose to provide oversight. Unless we, the American People, demand change and accountability while maintaining an understanding of what our nations Warriors are being asked to do, we won’t become a more moral society.

25th book of 2024 complete: The Dictators Handbook by Bruce Bueno De Mesquita and Alastair Smith The thesis is great: rulers hold on to power by following key rules, namely, benefiting their essential supports, those people in their society whose support is needed to gain and maintain power The flaw to the book, however, is a general belief that democratic rulers are better than autocratic rulers because they must appeal to a larger essential supporter base. While they point out how democratic governments can be corrupt and break rules, they try to make it seem like that’s atypical and those rulers are often thrown out easily by the electorate. They also point out how autocratic rulers often have sham elections. As if to believe that democratic system’s elections aren’t rigged simply by providing false choices. Without realizing where the true power lies in American society, they fail to properly identify the actual essential supporters. Corporations like the MMIC (Medical and Military Industrial Complex) who control so much of the politics and the media, are no different than essential supporters in an autocracy who provide political support to rulers and propaganda. Just because it’s a more advanced form of manipulation, they seem to be tricked into believing that it’s all about democracy and the people’s will. I would only recommend this book for two reason: 1) I believe the thesis is accurate 2) I would like to see more people give their own analysis of this book If you have to will read, please provide your feedback
