“Five Times August”
Starting with something a little different today: Brad Skistimas is a solo act who calls himself “Five Times August”. He is a singer, song-writer, and instrumentalist. He is also a protestor standing up for freedom. Check out his brilliant song and video critique of Justin Trudeau here below:.
Sad Little Men
The too-elaborate-for-meme-culture meme below is mine. It is meant to project messages from Hannah Arendt and Mattias Desmet, among others. It also reveals much of the network of the globalist organizations which presume to rule the world, dominate our lives, and have anything do but our interests in mind.
It is they, these globalists, who are the true threat to We-the-People - far more so than Covid-19 ever was and more so than any other threat looming on the horizon, whether legitimate or manufactured by them as a distraction or means of control over populations.
It is the control itself which they seek that is the real danger. There is nothing benevolent or altruistic about it. They and their so-called New World Order are the proverbial meteor headed our way. Every possible ounce of resistance is needed against these globalist fanatics. They are the ultimate representation of the ‘Power’ side of ‘The Power Versus People Paradigm’, which is the primary concern of this Substack.
With at least one obvious exception being Xi Jinping, the faces you see above are just representative faces or figure heads. That is not to say that they are not narcissistic sociopaths with tremendous power who reap havoc on We-the-People. They are that, but most are willing opportunists in a game of power that is bigger than they are. The real power is hidden amongst, between, and beyond the logos in the meme. Gates is both an active senior officer in the field and a behind-the-scenes power broker. While too late to the party to be a founding member, he is clearly a major driver of the globalists’ New World Order today and, whatever his rank, he surely has an all-access pass at all levels of power.
Xi Jinping is arguably the single most powerful and destructive human on the planet. He is as ruthless as they come. What the balance of power actually looks like between Xi and the Chinese Communist Party versus the globalists as a block is not entirely clear. Nor is it clear how Xi views the globalists. Both contingents are aiming full steam ahead for world domination. Both are also firmly behind The 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development ruse that is part of it, which makes perfect sense as both agendas are aimed at achieving total control over populations. This common interest shared by the CCP and the globalists suggests it is highly like that they are firmly in bed together for now, at least. How they co-exist as quasi equals in the future if their shared but separately held vision comes to pass is both interesting to contemplate and hard to picture.
What is much clearer is that the globalists revere Xi’s totalitarian power. Much has been written about China’s quiet but now near complete transition from communism to a full-blown technocratic state, one which is more totalitarian than ever. A technocratic state is clearly where the globalists seek to take us in their New World Order. Many have also argued that the globalists see Xi’s China as the ideal model. By this I refer namely to the circa 800 million surveillance cameras, a government controlled centralized digital currency, and a social credit score system, all of which are coming together to effectively give Xi and the CCP total control over the Chinese population.
To underline the point, China’s ‘internal security budget’ now exceeds its national defence budget and has done so for several years running. It will not have been lost on those who are watching their governments closely, that a similar trend in that direction is underway in the West as well. This is most evidently true in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom and beyond. We should not let that alarming information simply wash over us into oblivion. Its implications should be contemplated deeply. There are underlying reasons for the trend, which align perfectly with globalist agendas. None of them is good for We-the-People. The awesome power projected by Xi and the CCP through their Belt and Road Initiative and its staggering implications will also not have been lost on globalists in the West. Such an initiative maps very well with their future vision of the world. Whether or not they will share in the spoils of Xi’s BRI when the time comes is an open question.
In a future essay, I will also be writing about Xi’s internment camps, as they are highly relevant. Unfortunately, if you think we do not now have our own internment camps in the West in the Covid era, you would be mistaken. We just don’t recognize them yet because they don’t have a million Uyghurs and Falun Gong followers in them and we do not have a thriving illicit organ trade. However, we do have camps, and, as with China, they are highly relevant to all of it. I will be writing about those as well.
The meme also shows you where I see our politicians. Their positions may still be powerful but their power as individuals is small and fleeting. Crucially, and this is the most important point, they do not work for us. They work for other people. If souls exist, they and their predecessors sold theirs, and their countries and people, to power a long time ago; power that we are not meant to see, but which is much much bigger than they are; and yes, I am talking about power that runs governments from shadows. Skeptics of this view, who are certainly in the vast majority, usually base their skepticism on the presumption that there is no way ‘they could all be co-opted.’ Firstly, they are not, but most of those with real power are and what the skepticism usually fails to take into account is the possibility that it is the paths to power which have been co-opted. Those who are not corruptible and controllable can only go so far.
Triangulating the connectivity of so many of our leaders to the World Economic Forum and its Forum for Young Global Leaders; retrospectively deducing beyond doubt that they were all, more or less, following the same authoritarian playbook during the first year of the pandemic; discovering that that playbook had actually been rehearsed publicly to a tee in October 2019, as part of an event called Event 201, which was sponsored by the WEF and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and closely following the otherwise irrational, destructive, and even overtly hostile behavior of so many leaders towards their populations right up to the present day; and how all of it aligns with what can be easily investigated and seen as priorities of globalist agendas, namely The 2030 Agenda or the Great Reset as they call it, was all more than enough to conclusively convince me that our leaders do not work for us, but instead work for others. But the above observations are only the tip of the iceberg, and the WEF is also just another face, and a relatively new one in all of this at that. The story is much bigger and goes back much further in time. I’ll return to it shortly.
The second key point skeptics often don’t consider is what can and does happen when narcissistic sociopaths, who are often also psychopaths, are allowed to first amass billions, then hundreds of billions, and amongst themselves, trillions and trillions of dollars. Most fail to understand the mindsets of the people involved - we tend to project ourselves in their shoes, which is completely wrong. This is where the commonly uttered phrase, “they would never do that” comes from. That is an argument without substance. The person seeking refuge in that statement is merely projecting how they would see themselves in that position, while simultaneously failing to understand the nature of the beasts involved or the scale of money and what money becomes when it reaches obscene heights. Billions of dollars do not sit idle in anyone’s hands and human nature dictates that, for the vast majority of us, there is a threshold whereby money is no longer about money at all. It completely crosses over and converts into power. After a certain point power is the only currency.
A third, largely overlooked dynamic, which I will call the Millions Vs. Trillions Conundrum relates to just how vulnerable and susceptible our politicians are to corruption by globalists, and others such as the CCP, for whom money is no obstacle. Consider for a moment that there are hundreds and hundreds of heads of state and other senior politicians and bureaucrats around the world, each in control of billions of dollars, even at the individual level. Anthony Fauci, who more or less controls $20-40 billion annually depending on how you quantify it, would be an excellent and extreme example. Consider that with support from his party, the President of the United States can swing trillions of dollars in one direction or another, as we have seen President Biden do with alarming frequency in his first year and a half in office. Then consider that those elected or appointed officials who control billions and who can swing trillions typically receive salaries of around $200k per year versus the company they keep as they jet-set around the world attending lavish functions and ‘private’ globalist meetings behind closed doors. A few hundred thousand is a lot of money for our officials. A few million here and there is everything. After a while, it starts adding up to ‘real money’. Yet, such money is peanuts for any one of hundreds of globalists who control billions and billions. In his impeccably researched book, ‘Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win’, Peter Sweizer masterfully demonstrates how the CCP exploits the same dynamic. We would be foolish not to expect that the globalists play the same game. The asymmetry in wealth is too great and the proximity too close. All the temptations are there, and the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. The protections against it are deeply flawed and easily circumvented.
I will be writing longer essays on these topics in due course. For now, here are some clear lines of inquiry which readers can follow up on in their own time:
John D. Rockefeller remains, by far, the wealthiest man who ever lived. “But Elon Musk is worth $219 billion”, I hear you say. Well, in his day, adjusted in today’s dollars, Rockefeller was worth $600 billion and he was neither a good man nor a nice man. Rockefeller’s shadow looms large over us all today, still affecting each of us profoundly in ways few of us realize. To name but one example, the plague on humanity that is today’s Big Pharma can practically be placed squarely at Rockefeller’s feet. If one wants to truly start to understand the beginnings of today’s globalist organizations, how far the rot really goes, how long it’s had to metasticize, and to start to connect the dots on so many important things We-the-People have little to no idea about, one has to go back at least to 1900 and study Rockefeller. G. Edward Griffin’s The Creature From Jekyll Island is an excellent book for this and much more.
Studying Rockefeller’s contemporary Cecil Rhodes and his Round Table Group in the UK is also enlightening. For this, the late Professor Carroll Quigley’s, ‘The Anglo-American Establishment’ is the definitive work. It provides extensive historical context into the first shadow governments working towards a one-world government. This story ends in 1944, and the manuscript was not surprisingly unpublished for decades, so it leaves many unanswered questions, and is therefore best read after other more recent books. However, if one wants to know how money, power, and connections can be used to infiltrate and control governments in western democratic nations, Rhode’s Round Table Group was the original template, and Quigley’s book is the definitive book.
The era of the John D. Rockefeller and Cecil Rhodes represents the beginning, but it is not necessary to go back that far in the first instance to start to come to grips with what we are really dealing with with these globalists and our co-opted governments under their control in 2022. One can start with the WEF and work one’s way back several decades from there.
The predecessor to the WEF’s Forum of Young Global Leaders dates back to 1992. Curiously, so does the promulgation of UN Agenda 21. To understand that, we need to examine the Trilateral Commission which dates back to 1973, just a few years after the World Economic Forum, which was founded in 1971 and was originally called the European Management Forum.
None of this is coincidental. It is all related. For fuller context, we have to go back another 20 years to the beginnings of the Bilderberg Group in 1954. The Bilderberg Group is another globalist organization, and quite possibly the most active and most powerful one. Having said that, one suspects even its members still ultimately take their orders from the Rockefeller Foundation, but this seems impossible to know either way. The Bilderberg Group certainly seems to be more at the center of things than the WEF and unlike the WEF which craves publicity when its not behind closed doors, the Bilderberg Group is highly secretive and always behind closed doors. Daniel Estulin’s, ‘The True Story of the Bilderberg Group’ should be considered essential reading.
In essence, for nearly 70 years, we have had between 75 to 150 of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful individuals, industrialists, asset managers, corporate CEO’s, current and former government officials, current and former top military leaders, and senior members of the bureaucracy and the deep state attending secret Bilderberg meetings and never discussing or disclosing the nature of their meetings or what is discussed. The mind boggles at the serious unanswered questions that arise from pondering this not to mention the scope for serious problems that could (and do) come from it.
No investigation into globalist organizations and their collective push towards a technocratic world government would be complete without studying the US-based Council on Foreign Relations, or as some say, the real government of the United States.
At least since 1954, with the founding of the Bilderberg Group, the late David Rockefeller’s fingerprints can be found on ALL OF IT. Yes, another Rockefeller. So, too, can those of his conciliary, Henry Kissinger.
Fortunately, the mind does not have to simply boggle. While the unknowns are still many, and there is much that will likely remain secret forever, there is much that we can and do know, but you will never learn about any of it from the mainstream media. This is because they are systematically suppressing it and keeping it from you, and have been doing so for decades. If you don’t believe me, ‘hear’ it for yourself in the words of the late David Rockefeller from beyond the grave:
“We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a World Government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
David Rockefeller, billionaire and co-founder of the Bilderberg society and the Trilateral Commission, speaking at the Bilderberg conference of 1991
It may surprise some to know that most powerful people running our mainstream media are Bilderberg Group members. Again, it has been that way for decades. Several of their flunky, so-called newsreaders and journalists - all household names and faces for many of us, also attend Bilderberg meetings and/or are themselves members of the Council on Foreign Relations. So much for media independence. Anyone who is anyone in the MSM knows there is a blackout on any news of substance related to The Bilderberg Group. Therefore, to understand the globalists, a topic which I am only skimming the surface of here today, but going forward will start cover in much greater detail on this Substack, we have to turn to books. Fortunately, there are some excellent books available to us. Here are some of them:
Here they are in chronological order, based on the history they cover:
If you are new to all of this and coming at it sceptically, as I would and did, then, I would suggest approaching these books in the following order for the fastest on-ramp to the subject-matter:
If Wood’s ‘Technocracy’ does not put you on a red pill fast-track, then perhaps nothing will. Published in 2018, Wood’s book is the most recent book on my recommendation list here. While he does cover the early Bilderberg Group history in brief, Wood focuses extensively on the founding of the Trilateral Commission in the mid-seventies, and all that has happened since, including the promulgation of UN Agenda 21 in 1992, and the subsequent 2030 Agenda et al. The Council on Foreign Relations goes all the way back to 1921 but Wood reaches back briefly to sufficiently cover its origins and then integrates it quite extensively in parallel with his coverage of the Trialateral Commission over the past 50 years. He also provides a very insightful overview of the origins and history of technocracy itself, dating back to the 1930’s in the United States. Despite covering a lot of ground, Wood’s book is relatively short and easy to read compared to the others. Daniel Estulin’s, ‘Bilderberg Group’ also offers instant access to the globalist world in great detail, and much more of an inside view than any other book I know. Estulin’s book also covers the Council on Foreign Relations extensively, and a great deal more so than Wood’s book. For sceptics who are hesitant to invest the time, ‘Technocracy’ is the shorter and faster read.
Warning: This is another red pill / blue pill moment and a very big one at that. Start reading these books and you may never look at the world the same way again. On the other hand, they just might enrich your understanding and perspectives on a great many fronts, where things otherwise seemingly don’t make sense in the Covid era. From my perspective, knowledge is not only power. In 2022, its also protection, safety, and maybe even freedom, which is waning quickly and needs to be preserved lest it disappear altogether someday. Trust me. If We-the-People let the globalists and the politicians in their pockets have their way, it will, and probably sooner than most can imagine. It’s called The 2030 Agenda for a reason.
The End
