Apr 6, 2024

In Oklahoma they plan to close schools for two days; in Texas heavy trucks are banned from the roads.

A four-hour event is bringing people to their knees.

In ages past, people knew little beyond their borders and an eclipse was an event that shook the known world.

But eclipse is not a universal event. Quite the opposite: what you see depends on where you stand. It is a matter of perspective.

The Apr 8 eclipse will first be visible over the South Pacific, and then from Mexico, the United States and Canada.

An eclipse is an emotional experience for some. According to clinical psychologist Kate Russo it is both physical and mental, even hypnotic. [1]

As for the media, the mania is the message. If your head is not swivelling like a camera on a selfie stick, you ain’t hip to hysteria. Such fear mongering is familiar from global freezing (1970s) to global boiling (2020s) to Extinction Rebellion, the War on Terror, TDS and Russiagate, the invisible viruses and the rebranded flu.

Some will argue that the West began losing its collective sanity long ago, somewhere between the abdication of will (predestination) 500 years ago and today’s conflation of will and desire (libidinal nominalism).

There is a quasi-religious aspect which Michael Shellenberger has called millenarian, in the sense of apocalyptic religious movements.

Millenarianism is the anticipation of a cataclysm preceding the arrival of the Messiah or Utopia. Today’s extinctionists borrow from the Gnostics the idea that the Earth is imperfect and that God sent his Son to try to fix it; from Sabbatean Frankists the conviction that they must transgress religious and social norms to expunge evil and find true holiness; from the Malthusians who found another way of asserting that Creation was flawed — and have for the past 200 years predicted mass starvation if not the imminent collapse of civilisation.

This may be the end of days and there is plenty of reason, looking around, to see the beginning of sorrows.

Yet there are many who anticipate, and seek to accelerate, the end times without an ounce of religious belief.

Self-identified “rebels” rouse the youth to protest, and receive prime time billing on state-corporate television, accusing those same state-corporate interests of ignoring the climate crisis.

And they say religion is manipulative!

Crisis of capitalism

Some openly seek to remake the world in their own image. They finance a Greek chorus of media and street artistes to wail that they are acting too slowly.

The truth is that politicians talk about climate all the time. If they don’t do anything, that is by design. Actions always speak louder than words.

What campaigners rarely acknowledge is the glaring absence of any plan to gradually shift from the intensive use of hydrocarbons.

We would have to live differently: build homes with new layouts and materials (or old - see the Persian Wind Tower) that cool or retain heat; change traditional living patterns and share utilities; grow our own food, to save on supermarket deliveries; capture and filter water locally; teach children at home, or at least locally, so that we no longer need costly high schools.

The young might embrace such a new start if it was presented to them.

Did you hear anything like that from politicians or corporations?

Instead, the state corporate media and the banks have the youth running around in Che Guevara shirts demanding, “We want a mortgage, and we want it now!”

MindWars

This discombobulation of Millennials and younger — hurry up and wait; hope and change; protest yet demand to be a debt slave just like your parents — is to keep them on the credit treadmill and exclude social change that would threaten the wealth, control and power of the owner investors.

Instead, the governments offer cascading crises, permanent emergency and the Great Shutdown — of farms, oil pipelines, gas stoves and heaters, internal combustion engines and, soon we are told, air travel.

See Rule By Mind War And Disinformation (Nov 22, 2022)

Politicians are not trying find an alternative way of life. They intend to shut it down, while milking the current financial system as long as they can. They do not see emergency as a call to action. They see it as a means to an end.

If this is a crisis of capitalism, the decline of imperialism, it is a reset from which finance capital plans to benefit.

State of Exception

You see that I have not questioned the Climate Change narrative nor objected that many of the “wildfires” have been set by arsonists, and I haven’t challenged the argument that Climate Change is “essentially a product of a global capitalist mode of production.”

I do not need to question those premises in order to refocus the argument on the failure to respond. Like Covid, in order to understand Climate Change you need not debate whether, like a virus, it is real. You only need to look at the response to see that it does not do what it says on the tin.

It is a red flag when any journalist gets stuck on the issue of “denier” and fails to progress to solutions. The Guardian for years has suggested “climate denial” should be akin to “Holocaust denial” and that deniers be cancelled, sent to Coventry, their tongues cut out.

Catastrophe is the means to an end. The so-called response is a lie.

This is hardly the Left’s much-championed decline of capitalism. The finance capitalists say they want to clear the lot of us off the land, repeating the Highland Clearances and Enclosure Acts to get at the resources and rewild the best parts into safari parks for the elite. It was an earlier land grab in England, the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, which drove the capital creation that enabled mercantilism and imperialism.

The Club of Rome, named after the Rockefeller retreat on Lake Como, admitted as much in The First Global Revolution, (Club of Rome, 1993):

“In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill… All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself.”

Per ardua ad astra

Celestial forces have always played a role in human thinking and the way we are ruled. With the decline in religion something took its place: and the Moon landings are a central pillar of the official worldview.

People interact less with physics, nature, making stuff, factory work, practical skills — or the modern lack of them. They read less. Television and the Internet have taken their place.

It began with the Moon landings. Here the celestial stars were merged with the Colgate smiles of stars on Earth.

This inverted our relationship with the heavens. The space missions yielded technologies that were out of this world: Teflon and HAZMAT suits and TV dinners and everlasting batteries.

More dangerous, perhaps, we swallowed unquestioningly the elixir of science as religion: that scientists have our best interests at heart; that things can only get better; that we need only trust and forget.

Too late we are discovering that technology has no logic, let alone morality. It goes. It does. That’s it.

We have to set it in service of something: to favour peace over war, to feed the many not the few, to deny technology primacy and set beauty as society’s highest goal and, ultimately, to decide what is good or evil.

Neil Armstrong said at the White House in 1994 on the 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing: "There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth's protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief." [2]

Truth's protective layers have served us well during Event Covid. We are asked to believe in the efficacy of the mask, Perspex shields, six feet of distance, the rule of six people and lots of other hexes.

We are assured that science works by consensus, that the virus often has no symptoms and that we should therefore lock up healthy people.

Life-threatening side effects are signs the vaccine’s working. Being fully-vaccinated is a progressive state that may always require more boosters and does not stop transmission or symptoms. Catching Covid gives you better protection than the vaccine — but it’s the unvaccinated who are always the threat. [3]

Is there is a connection — apart from the fact the last Moon landing happened in 1972 and that by gematria the value of Covid-19 is 72?

We are facing a one world government that says imagine you’ll own nothing and there’s “no religion, too” — “losing my religion,” along with freedom of speech.

Without the Moon landings we could not have had Event Covid. Everything would have been clear as day: implausible coincidences and unjust demands. No-one would have believed it, “someone would have talked” — no! Everyone would have talked. Real skeptics would have brandished Occam’s Razor not the fake skeptics that always, but always, support the official narrative.

Instead we live in twilight. Every government and every news outlet urges us on with identical slogans. The repetition and consistency makes it true. Even the same synchronized errors prompt not skepticism but ever-greater trust. Don’t think for yourself, you can do better — build back better.

And we are urged to look up to the sky, in an eclipse, at the absence of light.

There is another twist to our story that recalls the age between the two Elizabeths, I (died 1603) and II (died 2022).

John Dee, Elizabeth I’s astronomer, is an influential figure in the esoteric world. He was a proponent of “monas” or the oneness of the world which begat its complexity.

Dee said that Mars, in the ascendant, marked the rise of a great empire and the fall of another. We’re currently transitioning from the Age of Pisces to Age of Aquarius. Though astrologers don’t agree about exact dates, some suggested Age of Aquarius began in Dec 21 2020 when Saturn entered Aquarius and an alignment of Jupiter and Saturn took place.

Far from the age of “brotherhood of man” it is also a technological age in which machinery rivals humans; technology that will have negatives as well as positives.

The astrologer Robert Wilkinson says the transition began about 230 years ago from the Age of Pisces, gradually replacing the divine right of monarchs with horizontal social networks.

It continues to influence many people, including in the corporate world and among rulers. [4]

The journalist Pepe Escobar points out that the Mongols, creators of the biggest empire in history, often consulted the planets before big decision, such as the invasion of Baghdad-Babylon in 1258 and similarly the Ottomans, before their conquest of Constantinople in 1453.

Astrologist Vanessa Guazzelli, in conversation with Escobar, noted the upcoming Saturn-Neptune conjunction in 2026 at 0º of Aries is associated with socialism and communism. Whether we tilt to those -isms or a techno-feudalism hangs in the balance.

“I’d say at this moment we are past the mid-point. It could, initially, go towards multiple systems in two branches: on the one hand, the freshness of the Eastern winds inspiring socialism and multipolarity through the Belt and Road Initiative and the integration of Eurasia and its partners; on the other hand, the whirlwind of the collapsing empire and its Western allies as a terminator cyborg operated by the perverse 0.0001% who are so lifeless they cannot conceive other people’s right to exist.

“When I first heard about it in June 2020, it astonished me how they set the “Great Reset” for January 2021, so close to the Great Mutation at the end of December 2020. I doubt this is a mere coincidence or “synchronicity.” J P Morgan is known to have affirmed that millionaires don’t need astrologers, but billionaires do.” [5]

Guazzelli quotes Michel Foucault in Les Mots et les Choses (1966) that by “taking a relatively short chronological sample within a restricted geographical area, such as European culture since the sixteenth century, one can be certain that man is a recent invention within it.”

Foucault is referring to man as the construct of the past few hundred years and Guazzelli suggests that his passing represents the necessary end of Eurocentrism. This is another jumping off point where the open minded will take seriously the injunction of UN envoy on migration Peter Sutherland that Europeans must be diluted until they cease to exist. That is another discourse. [6]

Which takes us back to trade. The two Elizabethan eras bookend the rise and fall of European empire.

The first saw the expansion of shipping that competed with and eventually overtook the Silk Road. The end of this age, and the dawning of a new one, could finally see its return in the shape of China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

There is much to consider that is beyond the scope of these articles — no need to repeat what others write — just be aware that the mere anticipation of the eclipse on Apr 8 will be used to reinforce the dominant narratives.
