Good Riddance 2023, Part II -Prey and predator (Jan 4, 2032)
(4,000 words or about 19 minutes of your company.)

The following is a digest of articles written in 2023. It does not attempt to develop an argument but provide a compendium of articles that described a turbulent year.

Many are prescient, and together they portray the multiple directions from which the globalists tried to manipulate events and perceptions.

Happy New Year!

Dec 31, 2023

To the end of 2022 we noted a shift in the energy axis; not the decline of the petrodollar but a directional shift. We were prompted by the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline and who might benefit.

It is commonplace now to talk about Gaza’s gas fields, but we looked for those individuals powerful enough to sabotage Russia’s gas infrastructure, while profiting from its substitution.

Top of the list: the Levantine fields and Rothschild-linked Genie energy, allied to former vice presidents and heads of the CIA. The attack on Syria was about pipelines, while president Donald Trump had recognized Israel’s right to Golan after discovery of deposits.

Europe, Gas And The Endgame - Switching the energy axis from East-West, to South-North (Sep 30, 2022)

They have form. A century ago the same interests cut supply, drove prices higher, removing Russia as a competitor in 1917. Russian oil output did not recover for 50 years. The war of ‘73 cemented the petrodollar as a replacement for the gold standard, and launched the great replacement of Western manufacturing by Asia. Today’s Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) aka The Great Reset is a continuation.

Seeing it coming

What happens now is so deeply tied to long-term manipulation, the history of which is poorly understood, since from schooldays we have been, if not purposely misled, at least subject to the lazy retelling of stories.

For example Russia-Ukraine must be seen within the context of 1853-56, 1881, 1905, 1917, 1941 and 1991, all of which comprised an attempt to isolate/control resources of the central Eurasian region.

The strangest event of the year was Mercenary Group Quits Ukraine, Occupies Russian Military HQ - Wagner's swan song, mutiny, theatre or despair? (Jun 24, 2023)

Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of Wagner mercenary group, walked into the Rostov-on-Don army HQ from which Russia coordinated its Ukraine offensive, sat on the steps with commanders including deputy defence minister Yunus-bek Yevkurov, and proceeded to berate them.

He then marched on Moscow before halting his advance. Like the subject of one of this year’s best films, Napoleon, directed by Ridley Scott.

“Gaza,” as calmer voices remind us, did not come into existence with Hamas’ breakout on Oct 7.

Likewise, the West’s financing of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler’s self-inflicted defeat by attacking West and East simultaneously makes no sense until you perceive he was acting within the context of this same strategy, constrained by the forces behind it.

Nothing makes sense as an isolated happening — yet it’s the role of the corporate-owned media to camouflage each event, casting smoke bombs and cackling through the haze.

Ukraine: The War Everyone Saw Coming (May 5, 2023) should be obvious from the statements of owner-investors in the state corporate media, and the admission by former German chancellor Angela Merkel in two interviews, with Der Spiegel and Die Zeit, in Dec 2022, that Russia was provoked into war.

The biggest companies in agriculture, Monsanto, Cargill and Dupont are buying up the bread basket of Europe. War To End Wars, Or Prelude? (May 9, 2023)

If you look back to the “War to End Wars” and the next one, WW2, you will find curious parallels of puppet politicians. Churchill’s Wars And Financial Ties (May 18, 2023) reveals that his father was bailed out financially by the Rothschild family and granted a stake in its mining interests in South Africa.

Winston’s debts were paid off by bankers, who in turn formed a think tank to channel his political instincts — The Focus, led by Robert Waley Cohen, who negotiated the merger of Shell Oil with Royal Dutch Oil Company in 1906-07, and who was a director of the firm in which the Rothschilds held a major interest.

The organiser of The Focus was Mond, not Mustapha Mond.

Mustapha was chief architect of global governance in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1931), but Robert Mond was a chemicals oligarch and globalist.

The Focus was set up as the World Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi Council, a near-simultaneous outgrowth of the American boycott of German merchandise launched in March 1933 – on the 24^th of that month Britain’s Daily Express headlined: “Judea Declares War On Germany.

Since people have their historical favourites and brook no criticism, consider that the history books may be at fault. Powerful forces interpret history in real time or even shape it. They do not wait for the historian to pick up his or her pen. Past being prelude, the wealthiest forces pay historians to shape the narrative.

See the career of the historian Waldo Gifford Leland, in Spies, Dupes and Charities: Rivals for Power, Part 4. Norman Dodd and the tax-exempt foundations (Moneycircus, Aug 7, 2021).

The activities of William Leland match precisely the strategy and institutions that the Carnegie trustees were discussing in order to take over the teaching of history. The timing matches that noted in the transcripts seen by Norman Dodd.

Likewise private foundations have taken over scientific research. See Nobel prize-winning physicist Robert Laughlin: The Crime of Reason: And the Closing of the Scientific Mind (2008).

The role of today’s leaders and commentators is to play the fool, the clown — or in Justin Trudeau’s case the blackface minstrel — so that the public does not take seriously the looming threat to its wellbeing.

Europe and the U.S. seem to be awash in foreign ministers and premiers appointed for their lack of geopolitical nous and too gauche to disguise it. Is it by accident that one gets a von der Leyen, a Baerbock, a Harris or a Truss; a Trudeau, Johnson, Sunak or a Scholz?

Doubtless some hide their light under a bushel but the best you can say is that they are canny enough to profit from office.

If this is la crème de la crème — the smouldering brûlée of a hot mess — there is little reason to expect more integrity as we scrape the bottom of the pan.

Life might just be a carnival of happenstance. The carnivores may have their favourite tastes. They consume the most digestible and let the rest be. There is a greasy-haired, ethnically-charged irritability that hides behind the bouffant caricatures of Young Global Leaders.

It is a war on reality, captured in the rant: Keep Your Zombies To Yourself - Cultural programming hijacks a rare dreamstate but loses the video game (Apr 17, 2023)

An irritability that expresses itself in lies — the promotion of transgender-transhumanism, the withdrawal of energy, the resulting deindustrialisation, social dysfunction and its poisoned chalice for migrants to whom the host society cannot provide jobs, let alone a shot at “the dream.”

Vaccines Withdrawn, Penalties Too... But The Project? (Apr 9, 2023)

The latest operation is Malaria Scarier Than The Other Bug (Jul 5, 2023) in which a tropical disease breaks out in Texas and Florida for the first time in decades – and guess who is releasing ze bugs? Who sleeps in the streets and gets bitten?

Media comedians

The media has its jokers. Canada’s Rebel News sent Avi Yemeni to Davos to confront Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, one of 2,700 delegates protected by 5,000 Swiss police. Yet the Australian-Israeli Yemeni walked up to the Greek-Israeli Bourla with ease, while making a show of aggressive questioning, in the face of which Bourla remained calm and shtum.

Gurus Or Goons: Assessing The Theatre Of Davos (Jan 25, 2023)

Nine months later conflict erupted in Gaza, and Yemeni was one of the many stars of Conservative Inc and the Daily Wire (Laura Loomer, Laura Dodsworth, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, the list is endless) who jettisoned free speech to demand unflinching support of Israel, suggesting at the very least that Conservative Inc is a Zionist operation. We suspected much of the alt media to be compromised; no need to analyse it: Truth will out.

The sheer morass of information spilling out of Ukraine made it inevitable that billionaires and bankers would fight dirty.

Wars, Bank Failure and Censorship - Gagging and de-platforming is the exclusive tool of those who would destroy (Apr 28, 2023)

It is no coincidence that banks have become an arm of information centralisation: they have become the latest police force, snooping on your transactions, poking you with questions and telling you what you can and cannot do.

Bank Chief Fired In Social Credit Blowback: Another example of conspiracy theory in action (Jul 26, 2023)

After three years of Covid narrative you might think the perpetrators would back off but Globalists Scheme, Prosecute Bhakdi, BBC Verifies (May 23, 2023). With every passing whiff it became clear that BBC Fakt Cheka Marianna Spring’s cologne was named not after sunlight but desperate perspiration.

The German courts tried and failed to prosecute one of the world’s leading experts Prof Sucharit Bhakdi while the BBC launched what would be an ill fated Fakt Cheka of the news.

The media event of the year was the firing of Tucker Carlson by Rupert Murdoch: The Axe Of Censorship Falls (Apr 25, 2023).

Murdoch, like Michael Bloomberg, is one of those media tycoons whose story does not add up. The former sailed too close to the wind with his satellite television operation for the “greatest newspaperman” narrative to survive. The latter came out of nowhere with massive support, like Murdoch, from finance capital. They have been guardians of the narrative ever since.

If you question the government, you may be a conspiracy theorist. And if so, you are likely an anti-Semite. And if that’s the case, you are beyond the Pale.
Governments Are Criminalizing Dissent (Jul 11, 2023)

The Currency Of Truth: Alt media must move beyond connecting the dots (Jul 19, 2023)

The wannabe rulers and their media repeaters have told us for three years that the Earth is beset by chaos and only they can bring order. Their answer is centralized control on a scale that civilisation has never seen, encompassing not just people but every leaf and paw of nature, all of which must be recorded on a digital ledger, all DNA owned, patented and monetised.

The natural state of the world may be unpredictable but it is not chaotic (Chaos in physics stands for “unpredictable” and refers to physical systems that change their state over time). The fact that we imperfect humans do not understand how all natural processes interact does not mean the Earth lacks its own measures and balances.

Unfortunately, we live in the era of “Tell a big lie and stick to it.” Whether from malice or to cover incompetence, officials routinely treat the public, in terms of accountability, with contempt. If you examine, question, doubt or criticise anything that officials have or have not done, you are sowing distrust.

Backed by The Public-Private Censorship Industry (Feb 27, 2023) the Woke military complex sets the stage for regime change at home and abroad, to quell dissent and impose equity. At risk is citizenship, civil rights and any claim to the “land of my birth.”

A war on humanity, waged abroad and at home, requires one lie be built upon another. This is a sign that the Great Narrative, as the World Economic Forum calls it, is hollow and lacks support — or perhaps it was never part of the noble lie but merely a story to rally the middle part of society, the managers and functionaries.

Topics that were once discussed, are now verboten. In May 2010 for example The Guardian published “Bill Gates' cloud-whitening trials 'a dangerous experiment’.”

Four months later the newspaper accepted Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) money under the guise of a new development website. “The Guardian launches global development website with Gates Foundation.”

Its new technique was to ridicule geo-engineering, “My month with chemtrails conspiracy theorists” (2017) while gradually introducing it as inevitable: “What if it’s too late to save our planet without geoengineering?” (2021) while failing to disclose that BMGF funds both The Guardian and geo-engineering research.

Yet The Guardian, which claims that the term “globalist” is an “age-old antisemitic conspiracism” and that “Climate Change deniers” should be denied a voice in public — clearly fails to understand the full meaning of the word, Opinion, printed at the top of each article. Such political prejudice will now have in Britain the force of law.

The paper failed to report on the passage of the Online Safety Bill as it sailed through the upper chamber of Britain’s parliament.

The words you are reading could soon be hard to find. A major development of the year was the passage of “online safety” and “hate speech” laws in multiple countries - Canada, Australia and New Zealand, already have such legislation, as does the European Union.

This means that in Western countries, in the event that a State of Exception is declared, the laws are already in place to penalise any criticism. ‘Climate Emergency’ Would Be Step Closer To Dictatorship (Sep 21, 2023)

None of this is organic, or even natural. Researchers have identified some of the core policies — the WEF signed a strategic partnership with the United Nations in June 2019 “to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” In 2017 the heads of the WEF and World Health Organization discussed “innovation and preparation for health emergencies.”

There are many less prominent memoranda such as that signed with the U.S. Department of Energy to provide “a platform for water sector innovation, focusing on approaches and technologies that benefit utilities on the path to sustainable energy.”

One Health, one jab

The injectable and the pandemic response proved to be a Matryoshka or Russian nesting doll of Nephilic proportions.

No story, since the origins of the Second World War, has been so full of deliberate misdirection, dead ends, obfuscation, slow-walking and delay in the acknowledging events playing out before our eyes.

Researchers Katherine Watt, Sasha Latypova, David Martin and prof Michel Chossudovsky have traced the planning and development of the Covid shots to the Pentagon. Depopulation is, after all, a matter of National Security, as per Study Memorandum 200, also known as the Kissinger Report.

The lab leak theory is itself a distraction, along with bats and pangolins, and flapping fish in Chinese wet markets. The military owns and controls the mRNA Covid product — Pfizer and Moderna simply provided the corporate branding. The clinical trials were theatre, albeit with real victims, because regulators tested a prototype and not the “shot” that went into mass production.

Then came the Project Veritas video that claimed to reveal that Pfizer was engineering new variants of the coof – followed shortly by the hijacking of Veritas by its board, firing founder James O’Keefe for allegedly stealing a sandwich from the office fridge, and eventually closing his investigative news operation (since relaunched as OMG).

Claim: Pfizer 'Evolving' New Covid Variants: Project Veritas video said to reveal 'directed evolution' of mutations (Jan 26, 2023)

Early on, as the Covid narrative crumbled, Anthony Fauci visited the CIA headquarters to co-ordinate with other conspirators. Three years on, The CIA And The Elephant In The Room (Oct 2, 2023) makes sense, since this was run by military intelligence.

That suggests why president Donald Trump complied, why the media was under wartime censorship, why the most prominent names in the alt media had been co-opted, to be fed tidbits, allowed their moment of fame, in return for spinning on a dime come the next war.

It also explains the untimely deaths, now in the dozens, beginning perhaps with Dr. Richard Rockefeller, founder of the U.S. branch of Médecins Sans Frontières, in a 2014 plane crash as he left his father David Rockefeller’s 99^th birthday. In Aug 2019 followed PCR test inventor Kary Mullis (who insisted it could not detect disease) and pioneer of universal basic income David Graeber in Sep 2020, and novelist critic of Big Pharma (The Constant Gardener) John Le Carré, two months later. These seem less improbable once the Covid response, including the injectable, is acknowledged as the work of military and intelligence services.

Top German pathologist Arne Burkhardt claimed to have found categorical link of death to the shot, and died in Jun 2023, one month after giving testimony to the European Parliament. Similarly, Nobel prize winner for AIDS research Luc Montagnier, died in Feb 2022, a week before he was to give testimony to the Covid Grand Jury.

Just war

Ukraine’s war will be 10 years old in 2024. That is how long the Russian speaking regions have been under bombardment, prompting Russia’s invasion two years ago.

What we discovered in those two years is that Ukraine had become a CIA centre of operations in the years since the coup of 2014, a spider’s web of intrigue involving intelligence agencies, corporations, bioweapons research, human trafficking for sex and organs, the looting of the Ukraine and the United States through corruption and military spending, corrupt privatisations mandated by the IMF and, without question, money laundering. Biden On Payroll Of Ukraine’s Oligarchs (Jun 13, 2023)

By the start of this year it was clear that the focus of war could switch from Russia to Iran. Escalation From Ukraine, To Iran - Warning of how hair triggers could cause this war to spread (Jan 29, 2023)

This article rejects the hypothesis that all major countries are run by the same cabal, all of them secretly onboard with the same globalist project. The journal Foreign Policy in Oct 2022: “Iran Is Now at War With Ukraine” based on its supply of drones and technical crew to Russia, adding:

“With any luck, however, Tehran’s foray into European power politics could help nudge Washington and its Western allies toward a more robust policy to counter Iran.”

The NATO Plan For Ukraine’s Spring Offensive (Apr 7, 2023) proved tragic for tens of thousands of young men and women. Poorly executed, or with malintent, it never stood a chance. That is not mere hindsight but was the assessment of military men at the time, notably Col Douglas Macgregor and former marine and weapons inspector Scott Ritter.

No sooner had the offensive been announced than it was delayed, first by The Pentagon Leaks: Washing Reality - The blow of a whistle gets the military out of its Ukrainian pickle (Apr 15, 2023).

By exposing NATO’s involvement in plans to renew an attack upon Russia, the revelation quickly cast doubt upon the entire enterprise – and so time would prove.

Woke war

On Feb 3, 2022, just weeks before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, BlackRock increased its stake in Lockheed Martin, which makes the HIMARS rocket system. As one of the top three investors, BlackRock is the chief enforcer of diversity, equity and inclusion or DEI.

In this Woke war the prime beneficiaries dress their venal interests in a Progressive platform, from sustainable development goals to the (trans) gender smorgasbord — a neat trick that lumps all so-called issues as one, so that you cannot question any plank of the platform and still be a good person. You must sign up to all or nothing.

The First Woke War (Feb 24, 2023)

Woke is, by definition, destructive. Like all movements of its type it seeks to shape reality to its ideology. It turns out that Woke is not only about being polite. It also comes with very real economic costs that sit at the heart of this crisis.

Whose Agenda Is The Woke Agenda? From climate change to vaccine mandates, the greater good spreads its tentacles (Mar 17, 2023).

The reason the owner-investors have adopted Woke is that they learned a lesson from Chairman Mao, that true power resides not in the nation state but in the barrel of a gun; The privatised military security complex, however Woke, has overthrown governments powerless to defend nation state. It is now their prey.

Spy Vs Spy, Censorship And Delusion (Mar 1, 2023)

Seventy years since Stalin’s death, and some things have changed; others remain the same.

There is no better way for a clique to maintain power than to abolish checks and balances, and to merge the legislature and the judiciary under control of the executive. They can bleat to their heart’s content about protecting democracy, as they do today, while subverting it.

The judiciary is politicised, just as it was during Stalin’s show trials, and the state corporate media speaks with a single voice. Uncle Joe would be proud.

On the other hand, looking at 70 Years Since Stalin; His Role In Globalism (Mar 5, 2023), the surveillance state has rendered dictators unnecessary.

But the public mechanism of control is not the biggest lesson from the USSR; rather how it was manipulated, behind the scenes, by the globalist owner-investors — which fits like a glove the surveillance society.

Bolshie replay

In its last 50 years under Tsarism Russia was the world’s biggest wheat exporter. In 1901 Russia briefly overtook the United States as the world’s biggest oil exporter. The Rockefellers, Rothschilds and Nobels were making millions in Russia.

It was industrialising at a faster pace than almost any other country. Russia’s first electrical power station was built outside Moscow in 1912-1914, albeit 30 years after the UK and U.S.. Today many Russians do not know that its main railway stations and bridges predate the revolution, as does its tramway.

The role of the Bolsheviks was to interrupt the industrialisation of Russia, while switching its model from domestic entrepreneurship to a client state subject to international oligarchs who engaged in technology transfer in return for raw materials. That model held throughout the Soviet Union (SU) and even in modern-day Russia, where Germany, for example, until last year supplied manufactured goods in return for Russian energy and minerals.

We chose as an example one the dams in the Ukraine, just three months before one of them, at Kakhovka, was blown up. Military tactics meet symbolism.

The Dnieper Hydroelectric Station also known as Dnipro Dam, was American made. General Electric built the generators, Newport Shipping and Drydock Company built the turbines, Germans and Swedes supplied the rest, and Americans oversaw construction. Until recently, General Electric's Russian web site stated “Proud to have electrified the Soviet Union.”

Nations manipulated for oligarchic gain surfaced with Georgia's Colourful Riot Not Yet Revolution (Mar 8, 2023). Violent protests over registering 'foreign agents' were timed for the visit of Georgia’s president's visit to U.S. As the year wore on: Georgia Warns U.S.-Backed Groups Plotting Unrest (Oct 4, 2023).

Africa too

African nations, knowing they could be next — Plague, War, Famine... Africa Next (May 31, 2022) — made an unprecedented push to halt war in Ukraine: Germany In Freefall, Africa Pursues Peace, NATO Seeks Permawar (Jun 17, 2023).

The continent cannot afford war. It has seen demonstrations in Nigeria, South Africa, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Morocco, and Ghana, where the governments face a debt crisis and have increasingly repressed cost of living protests.

In Asia, economic distress has spilled into anti-government protests in Bangladesh and Pakistan, and over corruption in the sale of coal in Mongolia; in Europe over cuts to public services in France and Spain, and the expropriation of farmers in the Netherlands and Sri Lanka; and in the Americas over economic and political malfeasance in Haiti, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia and Panama.

In the Mid East, Lebanese took to the streets to protest the slumping currency, as well as the failure of an inquiry to effectively probe who blew up Beirut’s port in 2020, an explosion that killed more than 200 people and disrupted the country’s ability to import grain.

Even if not direct consequences, the Russia-NATO conflict has the potential to aggravate and deliver as yet unforeseen knock-on effects to local disputes.

A poisoned political atmosphere makes negotiation and de-escalation more difficult, as we see with the stalled talks in Vienna over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The risk is of broadening the Russia Ukraine war to Iran and then to China.

The events in the Gaza region in Oct 7 do not exist in a vacuum.
