With all the publicity child trafficking has received the past few decades, how does it continue to be as prevalent as it is in the world today?

by kendunning, posted in Child Trafficking, Political Corruption

I recently went to see the movie “The Sound of Freedom”. In spite of the fact that some of the harshest, most obscene atrocities taking place with trafficked children today are not portrayed in the movie, it is still a gritty, hard-hitting portrayal of one of the most heinous activities taking place in the world today. The movie is presented as being a plea to the world to gear up and stop this horrifying international criminal enterprise. In the movie, and in real life, Tim Ballard showed the world what can be done with a few dedicated law enforcement officers and even a little official support.

I did a search on “documentaries about human trafficking”. I turned up over 400 done in 2023 alone. Child/human trafficking has been around for at least the past few millennia if not longer. Books and documentaries about human trafficking and the atrocities committed by those engaged in it have been being written and produced for the past few decades. Longer if only looking at the books written. The knowledge that human trafficking, including child trafficking, has been going on for a long time and involves horrendously abusive criminal behavior has been around for a long time. U.S. Presidents, heads of the F.B.I., C.I.A., the U.S. Department of Justice, and U.S. Attorney Generals have undoubtedly been aware of it, and how heinous it is, for decades. The head of Homeland Security and Countless Chief’s of Police are undoubtedly aware it’s going on. So why is it still a booming business here in the U.S.?

Please bear with me here…

Back in the 1980’s, when the War on Drugs was relatively new and often portrayed in dramatic, if not glamorous ways, the cocaine trafficking taking place in southern Florida was frequently headline news. “Miami Vice”, which was one of the top T.V. shows at that time, focused mainly on cocaine trafficking taking place in southern Florida. Radio news reports on the trafficking were also common. One day I happened to be listening to a radio news show broadcast out of Spokane, WA, and a report was aired about a Federal Agent, I apologize that I can’t recall if the Agent was in the D.E.A. or the F.B.I. or his name, who had attempted to unravel the sometimes complex money trails resulting from cocaine trafficking. The Agent being interviewed claimed that he had been successful. Yet it seemed he was incredulous, if not dismayed. He stated that after successfully tracking the big money flowing out of south Florida he found that, paraphrasing his statement: “When it reached it’s final destination, whether it was legally gotten money or illegally gotten money, really big money always went to the same overseas bank accounts, the same people”. Considering how we have been seeing the monopolization of major industries increasing over the past few decades, is the Agent’s statement really all that unthinkable, or even surprising?

Maybe you’re asking what does cocaine trafficking in the 1980’s have to do with human trafficking in the 21st century? You may already know or have figured it out. However, I’m going to connect a few more dots.

In 1995 Cathy O’Brien and Mark Phillips published a book entitled “Trance Formation of America”. In it Cathy O’Brien makes allegations, in varying degrees of detail, about the abuses she endured as a subject/victim of the MK Ultra mind-control program in the U.S. When I say varying degrees of detail I need to add that quite often the details are very specific and she names names. Some of those named in the book as perpetrators of mental, physical and/or sexual abuse include: Gerald Ford, Pierre Trudeau, George H.W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, Vincente Fox, Kris Kristofferson, Jimmy Buffett, and others. She further alleges that some of the abuse which she is quite explicit about took place in the White House.

These are what some might call “just allegations”. While this is true that at this time they must be regarded as allegations, it is also true that while she is very specific in many (most?) cases about what took place and who the alleged perpetrator(s) were, those named have not publicly denied any of the allegations nor has the book been challenged, sued in a court of law, or forced out of publication. This regardless of the fact that many, if not most, of the persons named have attorneys readily available. When the book was published some who are alleged as perpetrators might even have been able to direct the Department of Justice to see that the book was quashed. That evidently didn’t happen. Why? If you were a public figure and someone published some of the most heinous allegations possible against you including that you participated in torture and murder, and, assuming that they were false allegations, given that you have good attorneys at hand who can get such allegations shut down very quickly wouldn’t you do so? In addition Ms. O’Brien alleges that her experiences included her involuntary involvement in the illegal trafficking of drugs which many of these people were engaged in. Ms. O’Brien is not the only person who has written a book about personal experiences as a subject/victim within the MK Ultra program.

Other allegations of the involvement of persons in high political office in drug and human trafficking come from the late Ted Gunderson. At one time Mr. Gunderson was the head of the Los Angeles F.B.I. Office. Mr. Gunderson’s exposure to the more covert aspects of drug and human trafficking reportedly didn’t occur until he had retired from the F.B.I. and gone into private investigating. In the area of illegal drug trafficking Mr. Gunderson’s investigation resulted in him making statements which amount to allegations that Bill and Hillary Clinton were heavily involved. At some point Mr. Gunderson became particularly interested in the numbers of missing children in the U.S. and did some in depth investigating. He reported discovering the involvement of high ranking political personages in the transportation and abuse of abducted children. Mr. Gunderson made several videos about his work and findings which, the last time I checked, are still available online.

Almost everyone in the U.S. is aware of the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislane Maxwell pedophile network and the reported involvement of many high ranking political personages, captains of industry, and well-known personalities from the entertainment business. It must be stated that having flown on Epstein’s plane does not constitute a de-facto allegation that person was involved in child abuse or rape. However, it does potentially open one up to being investigated for such activity.

So why haven’t Ms. O’Brien’s and Ted Gunderson’s allegations been thoroughly and objectively investigated? Why haven’t any of the people Ms. O’Brien named moved within the court system to erase her book from the face of the Earth? Could it be the last thing they want is a day in court? In all of these allegations the honesty and integrity of at least a few Secret Service Agents is also called into question. Ted Gunderson made some allegations in this regard about some of the deaths of Agents which occurred at the siege in Waco, Texas at the Branch Davidian compound.

Which brings us back to the question of how, with all the tools and manpower law enforcement agencies worldwide possess, does this international atrocity of millions of abducted, raped, beaten, tortured and sometimes murdered children continue as an ongoing reality? For an answer to this question we find a major clue in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s statement: “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it does, you can bet it was planned that way.” With this last sentence I imagine I have either lost or am in the process of losing a few readers. To suggest that brutal child abductions continue to take place in the world because some leaders of nations, captains of banking and industry, some of the wealthiest and most politically powerful men and women on the planet want it to continue, is going to be a concept some, possibly many, people just do not want to, or are unable, to consider. Yet it is the only logical explanation which takes in all the factors necessary to encompass the vast level of child abductions and trafficking which is taking place.

In the media what we are conditioned to expect is that the people who engage in drug trafficking and human trafficking are of the fringe element of society. Occasionally some rogue, apparently “upstanding” citizen may be involved, but, in the movies and TV shows anyway, those cases are presented as rare and the men and women of law enforcement will inevitably root them out. Even in the movie “The Sound of Freedom”, we see Tim Ballard exclusively spending his energies investigating in and among the more sordid and disreputable people and places. Even with that condition being met, the movie had a hard time finding it’s way into theaters. Imagine what problems it would have faced if it had implicated the rich and powerful who inhabit the halls of power? I doubt very much it would have ever seen the light of day. Cathy O’Brien and Mark Phillips have stated they needed to self-publish their book “Trance Formation of America” because they realized that if they sold it to an established publishing house it would never have been published.

Of course not all the men and women working in all the various elected positions, governmental offices, law enforcement, and the media are corrupt. However, the current reality around child trafficking suggests, if not demands, that some in key positions with the power to decide what large scale investigations take place, who they investigate and to what lengths, are entirely complicit in the ongoing international child trafficking. Maybe they are directly involved, maybe they are taking money from those who are, or maybe their boss does and they are just “following orders”, but in the end the result is the kidnapping, selling, rape and torture of millions of children a year continues.

If we as a species continue to allow the very worst crimes against humanity to continue because it offends our sensibilities and deeply held beliefs to even look at what is taking place, then aren’t we all a part of the problem?

I have no doubt that Tim Ballard is not the only Federal law enforcement agent to have a conscience and who actually cares about the people we expect law enforcement to be involved in the protection of. I imagine there are many. However, if their “superiors” insist on keeping them shackled and blinded, unable to pursue the leads that would take them to the top profiteers, the true forces behind child trafficking in the world today, can we expect the problem will be addressed? No, we can’t. The same principle applies to many, if not all, of the most profitable international criminal enterprises in the world today.

This post is not intended to be a glaring indictment of the people and/or classes of people mentioned in it. I, as a private citizen, could not even begin to compile the evidence it would require to support that. What I do hope is that in reading this your curiosity is piqued and you will be more receptive when news reports and/or articles appear before you which add to the growing body of evidence, circumstantial or without supporting physical evidence as they may be. We have to remember any rich and powerful personages who inhabit the halls of power, who are engaged in or complicit in human trafficking, are not idiots. I’m sure they can figure out how to cover their tracks fairly well. The U.S. Office of Justice Programs estimates between 300,000 and 400,000 children are trafficked across international borders each year. That is substantially more children than there are people of all ages in the population of Spokane, Washington. A city of children are being trafficked each year. How? How can all the national police forces, the intelligence services, the various immigration and customs services be so blind, so incapable as to allow this to go on? The organization ERASE Child Trafficking and the United Nations (UN) both seem to concur that only 1 or 2% of these victims are ever rescued.

Are we cursed in this world with an international body of highly incompetent law enforcement officers? Or are some in positions capable of steering such investigations down dead-end avenues doing just that? Making sure the cash flow from this lucrative, atrocity filled business continues to line the pockets of the “right people”?

The technocratic takeover of the U.S.A. and other countries.

by kendunning, posted in Community, Covid-19, Law, Oppression, Politics, Psychology

Apparently driven by questionable motives including the profit motives of big pharma, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) along with the cooperation and involvement of various Governors and other governmental office holders, have turned the United States into an authoritarian nightmare that people who lived during the first 60 years of the twentieth century would not recognize. The dream of a “Beacon on the Hill” has devolved into an anything goes scramble for wealth and power. The COVID debacle has been working to play upon fear and bring out the worst in many government officials. Not just in the U.S., also in other countries. After firing people from their jobs because they would not concede to an invasive medical procedure (COVID vaccines), they now bemoan the lack of workers. And after instituting sweeping quarantines which resulted in the permanent closure of many small businesses and much loss of income, poverty and homelessness is a true pandemic. Perhaps one reason people are having difficulty recognizing the money/power grab that is taking place is the fact that it is playing out on a global scale. The means to implement such a scheme have not been available until now. The developments which enable such a scheme include; large international corporations, big media controlled by a few corporations, a large percentage of the world’s wealth captured by a small group of people, politicians dependent upon corporate donations to maintain viability in the arena of big money election campaigns, the list goes on.

Following the example set by historical authoritarian dictators, those behind the curtain of the COVID/”vaccine” campaign fear common people engaging in critical thinking and especially fear information contradictory to their agendas being widely disseminated. They are engaging in grievous violations of the First Amendment guarantee of free speech (among other constitutional protections) and are engaging in defamation and witch hunts of medical and scientific professionals who dare spread information which contradicts the “mainstream” narrative around COVID and the vaccines. Their actions demonstrate the dystopian, authoritarian practices we who grew up during the 1950’s and 60’s were told are some of the methods which communist, totalitarian governments use to brainwash and control their populations.

Now, on the international scene, the G20 has agreed to institute “vaccine passports” purportedly to boost travel and tourism. It seems to me to be placing an artificial constraint on the free flow of people in the world. I grew up watching black and white movies and television shows in which fascist soldiers would come onto trains demanding to see people’s “papers”. I recently experienced something similar on a train trip from Denmark to Germany. At the German border officers walked the aisles of the train to make sure passengers were putting on masks. Even though the passengers had been traveling for some time without masks. When returning to Denmark the authoritarian absurdity of it all was demonstrated again when, at the Danish border, almost all, if not all, passengers removed the masks we were forced to wear in Germany.

We aren’t being protected from COVID, we are being trained to comply. To comply mindlessly and without critical thought. I used to wonder how 6 million Jewish people could allow themselves to be rounded up and marched into ovens. I wondered how the good people, the average citizens, of Germany, Austria and some other countries could have sat by while such an atrocity took place. The answer is to be found simply by taking a hard look at what is happening in the U.S., Australia, Canada, Germany and other countries in which the dictatorial, authoritarian medical technocracy is exerting itself. In the process it is pretty effectively transforming the U.S. constitution from the law of the land into a mere list of suggestions.

Our unsustainable, schizoid, economic reality.

I was listening to a program on Public Radio this morning. The reality of refugee children, their usually traumatic, desperate life experiences were being detailed. I suppose, for someone living in the U.S. or another country which refugees are fleeing to, one reaction to such a presentation is to feel good that safer harbor is being offered. That is a good thing. However, that is not an ultimate answer to the problem which the current masses of refugees are a symptom of. The overriding problem is the creation of nonviable, unsafe, violent, often deadly conditions in the countries, cultures, and communities from which the refugees are fleeing.

I’m sure that some analysts can point to a myriad of reasons for the horrible conditions which are manifesting in country after country around the world. The Ukraine is the latest country receiving world wide news attention to be experiencing such a descent into hellish conditions. I am fairly confident that there are other countries, other populations, also experiencing such a descent at this time which are not receiving such wide news coverage.

Analysts can take a great amount of time and energy pointing at historical events, cultural proclivities, past wars, historical animosities, and assigning current ravages to such causation can all seem very convincing, and hopelessly complex and irreconcilable. I’m not saying that there are not real contributing reasons to be found in such analyses. However, whenever there is a population experiencing cultural deterioration and the rise of hellish conditions, there are causative factors which are not so complex, culturally specific, nor so perplexing and/or mysterious. There are a few key factors which are common to all such descents into hell being experienced in countries, and among populations, around the world. These factors are:

  • People who occupy key social/political/economic positions that are infected by a compelling lust for the acquisition of wealth and power.
  • Persons of similar mindset who hope to share in the plunder by adopting a subservient attitude toward those waging campaigns of acquisition of wealth and power upon the world.
  • A callous disregard or contempt for the lives and well-being of the general populations held by those involved in the quest for wealth and power and those that support them.
  • An inability, or unwillingness, on the part of the population to resist the depletion and/or destruction of their communities and lives. Sometimes segments of the population may support the cruelty and violence on the part of those in power toward other segments of the population. Thereby becoming accessories in the descent into hell of their country, and ultimately of themselves. This can be the result of a strategy of divide and conquer being implemented by those in power.
  • A desire to exact retribution/revenge on the part of the persecuted segment of the population toward their persecutors. This opens the door for an ongoing cycle of violence, misery, and hell on Earth.

It is important to note that while material wealth and cultural/political power are the currencies of such situations, the driving forces involved are spiritual. The greed, lust, hate, contempt for the lives of others, that underlie all such situations are symptomatic of a toxic, ailing, spiritual reality. One in which all affected know little or no peace nor harmony with the world around them. In essence, the internal spiritual toxicity and sickness of those in power becomes expressed in the conditions of the countries and populations over which they wield power/authority. It is not required to somehow address all the historical factors for healing to occur. What is required is for the persons in the here-and-now, the present, to recognize the destructive reality consistently brought into the world when people lose sight of the innate spiritual need for people to treat one another as we want to be treated. For people to adopt life oriented, life affirming, egalitarian values and actions. To recognize the pervasive divine spirit of life that flows through and connects all life on Earth and throughout the universe.

It may present as a simple proposition, however, it entails people voluntarily, with dedication and commitment, entering into a monitoring of their own thoughts, feelings, and actions. It requires consciously transforming intentionally or inadvertently destructive and/or malevolent motives into benevolent ones. Reorienting the thinking and behavioral patterns that have engendered the descent into hell. It is imminently possible, it does require commitment, dedication and work. I would suggest to anyone entering into that discipline, that a place to start is in recognizing when any thoughts or feelings which entail doing direct or indirect harm to others to take place within your mind then redirect that energy into addressing the provocative issues in a constructive, benevolent manner. What on Earth could be a motive powerful enough to motivate a person to such a reorientation? The realization of what the world can be if humankind can succeed in such a transformation. Studying the works of the saints, prophets, healers, shaman, can help provide material to aide in redefining, reorienting, one’s ingrained, dysfunctional, self-destructive thinking patterns.

So where does the “schizoid” aspect of it all enter in? Contemplate this: in the U.S. and some other Western countries, tax dollars are used, public money, to spend extravagantly on military purposes which often seem to be in support of corporate agendas. Agendas which too often involve killing people and destroying infrastructure in poorer, often Middle Eastern, African, and Asian countries. While there may be some form of industry which takes place as a result, this industry is too often predatory. With a priority on corporate profits the resources, both material and human, of the affected nation are plundered with the nation being left poorer, often fragmented and further traumatized.

“We the People”, via the Government and U.S. corporations allow, subsidize and/or provide weapons or literally are the military force for much, of the murderous destruction that is taking place in the world. Then we have fund raisers and charities and offer refuge to the hapless victims of the enterprises of those enterprises. Band aid responses to sledgehammer blows. If that isn’t schizoid nothing is. However, then we the citizens of the countries in which are home to the persons, corporations, who are the actual driving forces behind all the carnage, the principle profiteers of the plundering and carnage taking place, may feel resentment to the refugees of that plunder and carnage. A resentment born of the perception of increasingly scarce resources going toward foreigners who have not earned those resources.

Often the general populations of the U.S. and other involved Western countries may have an apathetic attitude toward it all, or even support the carnage. Usually while under the trance of the professionally thought out, compelling narratives, those most directly involved and profiting from the carnage are broadcasting. And it gets even worse, The very same people and corporations that are driving and profiting from the aforementioned carnage are also driving and profiting from the policies and practices which are creating the aforementioned increasing scarcity of housing, jobs and other resources in the U.S. and other involved Western Countries.

Most of the work being done to support these wealth and power driven individuals and corporations is being done by people whose own lives, or those of their children, grandchildren are, or will be, negatively affected by the fruits of their labors. It is as irrational a situation as could exist.

We, the people of the world, need to come to our senses, stop aiding and abetting the madness, and treat each other fairly, with understanding and compassion.

It’s time we stopped the brutality of the mandates and the widespread suffering they perpetuate.

by kendunning, posted in Building our future., Community, Covid-19, Health, Healthcare, Oppression, Politics, Vaccines

For over a year we have seen small businesses closed, people isolated, depression on the rise, suicides on the rise, homicides on the rise.  We have seen billions funneled toward Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson, and Astra Zeneca.  We have seen the “big box” stores;  Walmart, Costco and others, including the online store Amazon, reaping billions from the shut down of competition.  Now thousands, if not millions, are losing, or will lose, their jobs due to the draconian mandates by President Biden and many State Governors.  There are millions experiencing death and crippling reactions from the so-called “vaccines”.  The most authoritative report on the subject, the “Lazarus Report”, more formally entitled “Electronic Support for Public Health-Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (ESP:VAERS)” in their study of the adverse event reporting system, data collected from 6/2006 to 10/2009, they found that only 1% of vaccine adverse reactions are reported.  The current VAERS report of deaths from the COVID vaccines is 16,766.  Using the aforementioned Report’s findings, that predicts deaths from COVID vaccines are more in the area of 16 million.  This is not even counting crippling neurological reactions and other adverse reactions. 

There has never been such an egregious case of the “cure” being worse than the disease.  Yet, driven by the media’s fear mongering, millions of Americans, blinded by that fear, continue to support harsher and more pervasive mandates. All being done under the misguided, if not criminal, pretense of protecting the public.  All in response to a virus which has negatively affected far fewer lives than has the brutality of the official responses; shutdowns, mandates.  We are seeing first-hand how fear can drive people to abandon both rationality and civility.

In the midst of all this we should not lose sight of the fact that an elite few are reaping windfall profits from the ongoing events.  And that those few occupy positions of extraordinary influence within the halls of government and industry, including all forms of media. 

Now the profiteers are looking to expand the sales (and it is sales, we do pay for the injections people are receiving “for free”, via our tax dollars) to inject children over the age of 5.  Considering the extremely high probability that most of the damage being done by these “vaccines” is going unreported, being almost entirely ignored by media, this is a move which is heinous in it’s disregard, if not it’s contempt, for the lives of the children being targeted. 

The Noble Failure

by kendunning, posted in Community, Economics, Integrity, Manifesting our Future, Oppression, Politics, Psychology, Spirituality
(c) mrdoggs http://www.fotosearch.com

The Noble Failure is a character in American politics which has been showing up with increasing frequency. The Noble Failure knows what people want. When campaigning for office, the Noble Failure speaks to the needs and wants of the people, and does so convincingly. The Noble Failure will emote, inspire, speak of noble aspirations and a better, fairer, more equitable world. People will be led to believe if only they can get the Noble Failure elected, things will improve. The thing is, that is all just part of the show, the main attraction. It is intended to draw voters, and the reality of Presidential elections last few decades show it works. Why wouldn’t it? People aren’t going to vote for what they don’t want to hear.

However, the promises are never, not from day one, meant to actually be fulfilled once the Noble Failure is elected. Once in office the excuses are pulled out of the closet. “The Legislature won’t get on board.” “The projects can’t be funded.” “We need to first increase the military budget.” “It’s not a good idea to increase the national debt.” “We need to infuse cash into our big corporations to compete internationally.” “It’s the damn ________________ (Democrats/Republicans, liberals/conservatives).” “We need focus our energies on attacking _______________ (fill in the blank).” Or, maybe, the new standard: “It would be a socialist program.”

So, the Noble Failure puts forward the face of grief, of sorrow, maybe even of having been betrayed. They bemoan the inability of others in power to appreciate the vision they sold to the American public. They may villainize those identified as obstacles to their stated campaign goals. This is the 21st century American Presidential/political reality. It didn’t begin in the 21st century, but it’s the only one we’ve had since the turn of the century. It’s the contemporary script: align your stated goals with what the people want and need. Make a few gestures toward fulfillment, then blame someone else for the failure to produce. Repeat in the next election cycle. The only people who don’t get excuses after the election are the 1/10th of 1%’ers who always come out ahead. Sometimes more than others, but the national wealth, the wealth resulting from the work of millions of people, just keeps flowing into their bank accounts. Policies keep coming which support their goals.


At the end of the day, the key players attend their private clubs, extravagant parties, concerts, events, have a few drinks and pat each other on the back. Maybe arrange to give each other official accolades and medals. Or, quite possibly engage in some dark rituals or forms of entertainment. A troupe of Machiavellian actors showing up for the after show reception.


It was the script from the beginning of the campaign, as it has been for several decades. It’s one reason why, from the perspective of the Noble Failures and their cronies, control of the White House, and the Legislature, cannot be allowed to slip from the control of a small circle of “their” people. They have been exercising an increasingly pervasive control that has been jealously guarded since 1963.

What does the general population get from all this? Frustration, disenfranchisement, increasing debt and poverty. One thing we can see from all this is that when the majority are not able to see the issues that are negatively affecting their lives addressed at the source, people will turn on each other. Like an animal caught in a trap. The animal can’t open the trap, so in order to escape, it chews it’s own leg off. “We the People” turn on each other, divide and be conquered. And those who occupy the seats of power and control the monopolized media are all too ready to throw some fuel onto those fires.

The difference between us and an animal caught in a steel trap is we that have minds capable of finding better solutions. We need to stop inadvertently, or as “wannabes”, cooperating with corruption, the disease, that is destroying the dream of a society that can work for all. Quit turning on each other. Quit buying into the incessant fear mongering dispensed to keep us distracted and paralyzed. Treat each other right; personally, economically, and in every way. Not just within the United States, also internationally. Create a culture that doesn’t have to kill and conquer in a misguided attempt at creating international “cooperation”. Create a culture that others want to emulate because it works and works well. Create a culture with the organizing principle of human wellbeing, reflecting our mutuality rather than fear and greed. Stop blindly following, believing in, the proclamations of those whose goal it is to keep us distracted, disorganized, fearful, and subservient.

In the Absence of Representative Government

by kendunning, posted in Community, Covid-19, Integrity, Mental Health, Oppression, Politics

In Washington State a State Senator recently bemoaned the ongoing nature of the special emergency powers ceded by the Legislature to Governor Inslee. This is a very important, very timely issue. It appears that on both the Federal and the State level, Chief Executives have gotten way too comfortable with a unilateral decision making ability. It is time we restored the democratic republic to the form it was intended to be. Would we be experiencing, suffering from, the ongoing oppressive mandates, nominally justified by the, again, nominal Covid pandemic, if the experiences and the wisdom of the people were indeed being followed by a representative government? I don’t think so. The fact is a relative few people have experienced the kind of devastating illness potentially resulting from Covid that the media persists in broadcasting as if it were the reality in every house next door.

This is not to trivialize the suffering of those who have been the hardest hit by the virus, but that being said, we cannot continue to react to the experiences of an extreme minority as if that is the reality for all. While giving such minority experiences the time and attention they deserve, it is not wise governance to base the parameters of the functioning of the entire society upon the abilities or vulnerabilities of the most vulnerable among us.

If the vast majority of Americans took inventory of their own first-hand reality and urged our State and Federal legislators to either enforce, or lift, the harsh mandates based on that inventory, mandates which have led to many citizens losing their jobs, incomes, mental health, physical health or even their lives, we would have seen the mandates lifted months ago, for good. If we would have ever seen them imposed in the first place. I tend to think we may have opted for the initial “flattening the curve” 2-3 weeks, but not the ongoing, oppressive marathon we have experienced.

But that is not the reality we are facing. When it comes to the Covid mandates, we are not being governed by a representative body. We are being dictated to by an authoritarian few, often in an arbitrary manner with only the sketchiest, if any, actual evidence to support their dictates.

It is past time for us to insist upon the reassertion of a genuinely representative government.

How did we get here from there? The success of largely manufactured fear where armies have failed.

By way of introduction to this article I want to draw attention to the term “constellation of symptoms”. Sometimes when attempting to diagnose a psychological or medical condition, if only looking at a”snapshot”, or singular aspect, of the patient’s reality, it is possible to misdiagnose the condition. With some conditions, or events, the truth only shows itself when a multitude of factors around the condition, or event, (a constellation of symptoms or aspects) are taken into consideration.

Ever since the CIA coined the term to discredit Warren Commission critics, the term “conspiracy theorist” has been a staple for those wishing to discredit the people who see behind the illusions they’re trying to create and/or maintain. So, who are “they”? Are there truly highly organized efforts, by people in positions of great worldly power, conceived, orchestrated and executed, over extended periods of time with the aim of deceiving, defrauding, enslaving, or even destroying those who are not members of their elite society? Or are all the events within the world merely spontaneous expressions of individuals at any given time or place? To believe the latter says more about how the reader thinks and conducts their own life than what the reality is in the world at large. The truth is there has never been a time in recorded history when the tools, both material and intellectual, to conduct global conspiracies have ever been more readily available. And beyond a doubt there are people, some working in concert with others, who have engaged themselves in utilizing those tools for the purposes of enriching themselves at the expense of others.

The overwhelming effort of this nature going on at this time is the incredible wealth and power grab that is taking place, worldwide, by the people who are behind what I am going to term, the Covid-19 drama, or simply, the Covid Drama. It truly is a highly orchestrated effort and has undoubtedly taken years, most likely a decade or more, of * acquiring control of the world’s most well known, trusted, media outlets, * positioning people in the necessary key offices of authority, * developing the virus itself, * developing the desired “vaccine”, and I suspect in developing a few other critical technologies which are involved in the drama. I also believe there are some components of the play, some props, which did just happen to be developed concurrently, but not in concert with, the development of the plan for the Covid-19 drama. One of these concurrent developments being the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.

Do you ever think about the world before Covid? How much worldwide communication and travel was taking place? People from around the world were getting to know one another. Stereotypes and other inaccurate preconceptions which some (many?) people may have had about people from other areas were being shattered. Common people around the world were being strengthened by the information they could now access via the internet. The richness of the world was becoming known, and the old, greed driven myths, lies and other ploys being used to maintain the arguments why some should share in it while others should not were being dispelled like the morning mists. Demonstrations against greed driven, special interest serving, governmental policies were taking place literally around the world. France, South Africa, Sudan, Hong Kong, Brazil, Romania, India, and other places. And in the places where active demonstrations and protests were not taking place, the currents of dissatisfaction with the old systems of haves and have nots, economic imbalance, was growing. Among the other things it has accomplished, the Covid drama brought most, if not all, of these activities to a halt. If it didn’t halt them, it certainly distracted the attention of most of the people of the world away from them.

In our complex world, major events rarely, if ever, impact only one aspect of our lives. With events put in motion by humans, the more well-orchestrated an event is, the more aspects of life the event may affect; bend and shape, to the will of those who are behind the planning and execution of the event. The Covid-19 drama is showing itself to have required patience, cleverness, and perseverance in it’s planning and execution. Unfortunately, all these qualities have been and are being applied to an effort which is driven by motives which do not bode well for humanity.

Let’s look at some of the components which had to be brought together to pull off what I find myself referring to the “Covid Drama”. Maybe “The Great Covid-19 Drama” would be more suited:

  • There had to be a basic governmental apparatus in place, coordinated with key people around the world, who can be relied upon to cooperate with the plan. Does this sound unlikely? Think of all the meetings, the conferences, the G-8, the World Economic Forum, the Bilderbergs, and other such networking opportunities that have been taking place for decades. Do you think everyone who attends these events just gets together and scowls at each other? For “hard cases” there are always the opportunities to compromise them in some way, and then utilize blackmail to see they get in line. I’m sure there are other, more clandestine get togethers which also take place.
  • World War II had shown in modern times that, when faced with a feared enemy, people would allow those in authority to draw veils of secrecy over the actions of government. Also that fear works well as a lever to compel the cooperation of the general citizenry even to engage in behaviors they would otherwise not consider.
  • There had to be the realization that a virus would make a much more reliable perpetual enemy than any racial, ethnic, or political faction could ever be presented as. Who ever meets a virus face to face and says, you know, they’re not such bad fellows? Whoever weeps for the suffering of a virus? Nope, a virus is the ideal perpetual enemy for a technocracy to be built upon. At this point in time anyway. There are limited people who understand viruses adequately to contradict the official narrative, and those that do can be marginalized, censored, and people will tend to believe the “authorities” they’ve been trained to trust.
  • There had to be a monopolized media which could be counted on to keep the Covid narrative alive, keep the fear at a maximum. This has been in the process of being arranged for a few decades.
  • A suitable virus had to be developed. Authoritative sources report the initial work taking place in the U.S., however, a U.S. ban on federal funding for gain-of-function experiments on pathogens from 2014 until 2018 (which evidently only applied to laboratories in the U.S.) led to the project being transferred to Wuhan, China. With further funding from the U.S. and possibly some sharing of personnel on the project, Covid-19 was born.
  • Sometime in 2019 the virus was released upon the public. Probably from multiple international locations.

That brings us to where we are now in the drama. Since the introduction of Covid-19 into our world we have seen the rise of a coordinated international authoritarian presence. For many, if not all the common people, our lives have been affected, disrupted. Our incomes have diminished or disappeared. Many have found themselves in unhealthful, sometimes debilitating isolation. People are and have been dying as a result of the dynamics put in motion by the mandates, the shutdowns. The number of suicides has risen significantly. Reportedly, frail elderly are literally dying from being isolated from their loved ones. Why? The answer is that millions around the world have allowed themselves to be instilled with fear. In the vast majority of cases, not fear resulting from anything they have seen or suffered first-hand. No, the fear that is running rampant around Covid is predominantly fear which is being implanted and fueled by the media. It would not be inaccurate to say the whole drama has the characteristics of a militarized psychological operation (assault).

Regarding the news reports that are taking place, for the constant referencing of the “numbers”, to have any basis in fact, certain preconditions, additional to those listed above, had to be established by those planning the Covid Drama. They are, not necessarily in order of occurrence or establishment:

  • The term “case”, when referring to a disease, had to be redefined. In common usage a “case” of a disease has meant when someone is actively ill with that disease. We all know what a case of measles or chickenpox looks like. If someone is walking around, going about their life with no apparent symptoms, doing just fine, they are not a “case” of anything. Yes, they many have been exposed to one virus or another, or some germ or the other, but, if we even knew that, it was apparent their immune system was handling it just fine. No cause for concern, much less cause for alarm. Now however, that has changed with the term “case” being given a rebirth in common usage with a much different meaning. A “case” of Covid means that, using a test which is capable of detecting extremely small amounts of genetic material within a person, if any genetic material ascribable to Covid-19 is detected, that person is now a “case” of Covid. Which leads us to the next item:
  • A highly manipulatable diagnostic test, the PCR test, had to be established as the “gold standard” test for Covid-19. This was declared to be so even though: “…the PCR test used to test for covid-19 was never meant to be a diagnostic tool and does not measure viruses according to the Nobel Prize winning scientist who developed the test itself.”
  • Thirdly, in this chain of deceit, along with a manipulatable test and the redefinition of what constitutes a “case” of a disease, the human immune system had to be discredited and declared of little or no value in the face of Covid-19. This was simply, arbitrarily, declared to be so. It was said that this was a “novel” virus which our immune system had no reference for, and therefore was not prepared to handle it. The fact that the survival rate for Covid-19 before any declared “vaccines” appeared was greater than 99.8% shows that the human immune system was (and is) on the job. Now, blood from persons who have had Covid and recovered is being sought because it is antibody rich and may be of use in developing additional treatments for Covid.
  • The list of symptoms published as potentially resulting from Covid-19 was made so long, so extremely broad in scope, so as to encompass just about every ailment known. And possibly some which have not been adequately identified but which are not caused by Covid-19. There is an abundance of evidence to suggest the rollout of 5G telecommunications technology, which occurred concurrent with the appearance of Covid, may be the causative factor in a significant number of actual cases of disease.
  • Patients admitted to hospitals with whatever presenting problem, if tested for Covid and deemed “positive”, would often (always?) become counted as a “case” of Covid. Again, bolstering the numbers being widely broadcast to maintain a state of fear in the general population.
  • By CDC direction, death certificates are listing Covid under causes death in cases which, under the criteria in place before Covid appeared, would not have listed a similar viral infection as a probable causative factor. Thereby inflating Covid death numbers. Concurrently deaths from Covid (real or contrived) have been being sensationalized in the press, further driving irrational fears of Covid.
  • With the media sensationalizing every aspect of Covid, (outdoing every previous example of media sensationalism I can think of, including the nightly death count during the Vietnam war) it prepared the public consciousness for the introduction of authoritarian mandates which impose draconian restrictions on personal movement and contact. Mandates which, in the U.S., presume to supersede Constitutional law.
  • The conditions imposed by, or directly and indirectly resulting from, the mandates; isolation, masking, loss of employment, depression, the exacerbation of other mental illnesses, homelessness, not going for needed medical treatment, being some of the most prevalent effects from the mandates, have themselves had debilitating effects upon a great many people and resulted in the loss of a significant number of lives. How many? Thousands? Millions? It’s hard to tell with no reliable numbers coming forward and causes of death being reported in such a skewed fashion.
  • The nature of the mandates has frequently flown in the face of established medical science. Restricting people from ocean beaches with the sunshine which would help bolster immune systems only makes sense if debilitating immune systems is a part of the agenda. Isolation, being almost universally mandated by the new authoritarian powers-that-be, is known to debilitate human health and wellbeing. Prior to Covid, isolation was primarily used as a harsh (inhuman?) punishment in situations of incarceration. The lack of direct personal contact/touch is especially detrimental to elderly persons who it is known require a higher level of touch (as do very young children) in order to stay healthy. In fact, the mandates which have been so widely issued so infringe upon known what are known to be factors which help support elder health, it begs the question of whether or not there is an element of intentional escalation of deaths in persons over age 65 present in the overall drama.
  • Medications known to effectively treat Covid-19, such as hydroxychloroquine, and nutritional supplements which boost the immune system, and the many reports from doctors of successes using such interventions, have been either largely ignored, systematically downplayed, and/or falsely represented, in the largely monopolized “mainstream” media. The thrust of the media’s narrative has predominantly, if not exclusively, been that civilization is on the brink of destruction pending the emergence and widespread deployment of a vaccine.
  • Private investment and influence within the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) has evidently predisposed those agencies to supporting the positions and propositions which most profit large pharmaceutical companies.
  • Finally, for this list (because it’s getting very long, not because there aren’t more issues) there is the issue of the pervasive censorship of medical doctors and other professionals in sciences which directly relate to the issues arising around the Covid-19 reality. The professionals who express perspectives and research data which contradicts the narrative most favorable to the positions of the large pharmaceutical companies, and the others who are extravagantly profiting from the Covid/vaccine drama.

Those who so ardently believe the unending stream of numbers and declarations coming from the media and the governmental spokespeople, often cite a reliance upon “science” as their authority. Beyond a doubt, these people have not engaged in any meaningful investigation of what scientists around the world are saying about the Covid drama. There is no universal agreement with the mainstream media’s narrative. In fact, a good number of medical doctors, microbiologists, and others have written articles, letters, and made videos expressing their dismay at what they see as a fraud being perpetrated upon the public. Some of these, a very short list of many professionals from around the world, who have expressed contradictory information and perspectives, include: Dr. Lee Merritt, M.D., Dr. Rashid Buttar, M.D., Dr. Andrew Kauffman, M.D., Dr. Delores Cahill, Ph.D., Dr. Judy Mikovits, Ph.D., Dr. David Martin, M.D.

Almost universally ignored by the mainstream media is the reality that there is “an international class-action lawsuit that will be filed against those responsible for using fraudulent testing to engineer the appearance of a dangerous pandemic in order to implement economically devastating lockdowns around the world.“

The astronomical amount of money involved in the production and distribution of the so-called “vaccines” (which are dissimilar to traditional vaccines in both design and function) and other aspects of the Covid drama, along with the wide-reaching powers which have been summarily assumed by those in public health and other governmental offices, begs the question of the motives behind what is taking place. One thing that is certain: there has been no single event in recorded history via which a relatively small number of people have managed to obtain such an enormous amount of wealth and dictatorial powers over such a large portion of the world’s population. In reality, the largely manufactured fear of a virus has accomplished what many aspiring conquerors throughout history, two world wars, and the Cold War could not: produced an international reality of dictatorial rule.

When it comes to vaccinations, just consider; with all the lies, deceit, and manipulations that have occurred around the virus itself, why would anyone simply believe we’re being told the truth about the “vaccines”? I have the word “vaccines” in quotations because what is being called a vaccine, when it comes to the mRNA concoctions, they are unlike any prior vaccine. My position is research them for at least a full day before accepting something that will affect you, potentially, for life. When knowing both sides of the argument, considering the sources of both sides, you may well, as I have, decide they’re not for you.

I would say we are seeing the current evolution of the ongoing search for the means to dominate the world’s population. A key aspect of the strategy is the way the components for the Drama were put in place in such a gradual manner. Separated by enough time that most people do not associate them to recognize a pattern (the constellation of aspects which together expose the underlying nature of the event). There is an invisible enemy (the virus) which only an anointed few are recognized by “the authorities” as knowing the reality of. A worldwide media keeping the level of fear in the population at a level rendering the vast majority extremely responsive, obedient, to the demands of those controlling the narrative. People have been brought to obedience to the degree of having neighbors policing neighbors. Even the freedom of visiting with one’s own family, parents, children is infringed upon with scarcely an outcry. At least not that I know of, however, in reality we are not being informed by the media of much of what is going on in reaction to the mandates. For all I know a thousand people stormed the headquarters of the World Health Organization and were repelled by U.N. forces. I don’t think that happened, but if it had, would it have been reported?

What can we do in reaction to such an assault? The first thing is not to buy into it. Don’t subscribe to the fear being peddled. Treat others in a civil fashion. Keep our minds on working toward the world we want to live in, not the world someone else wants us to contribute our time and energy to constructing. It’s time to take back our lives, reclaim the vitality and relationships which others would use fear to rob us of.

The Assault Upon Our Democracy

As we enter 2021 the United States is filled with a citizenry which, on the whole, is more troubled, fearful, angry, and poorer than they ever have been in the last 75 years. A citizenry which is increasingly homeless and hungry. A citizenry which is increasingly being “ruled”, not governed, by a cabal composed of the wealthiest who have managed, over the past 60+ years, to shape the thinking and culture of the nation to their liking. Joe Biden was certainly correct when, in his speech on Jan. 6, he stated “…our democracy is under unprecedented assault…”. However, he is sorely inaccurate in his assignment of the source of the assault merely to those who were demonstrating, and rioting, at the Capital Building.

While the demonstration and riot did manage to achieve a graphic display of the dissatisfaction which is widespread in the U.S., as far as preventing a fulfillment of the results of the last election, it was a misguided, futile effort. The pervasive and, at this point, long standing threat, the primary threat to American democracy: which is on the verge of dealing a fatal blow to the American experiment in democracy, is the dissemination of inaccuracies, lies, propaganda, which those occupying the highest positions in both government and industry have been increasingly engaging in since the end of the Second World War. It is impossible for a healthy democracy to exist without a steady flow of honest, accurate information for the people, who are at the heart of the system, to base their decisions upon. As we enter 2021 we must face the fact our democracy is crippled in this regard by five realities:

  1. Our “representative government has in reality become a government/industry amalgamation which routinely cries out “national security” to prevent the citizenry from gaining access to critical information. Information essential to any genuine effort at democratic government.
  2. The corporations deeply entrenched in governmental function are so obsessed with being at the “top of the food chain” in a predatory corporate culture, lying to the public is simply standard operating procedure.
  3. The governmental agencies which have been originally tasked with the protection of the interests of the public, have been co-opted by the industries the public expects them to be regulating. Their proclamations are little more than corporate PR.
  4. The “mainstream” news media (the fourth estate) has been monopolized by large corporations and, collectively, have become little more than conveyors of propaganda disseminated under the guise of “news”.
  5. Our government is increasingly populated by self-serving politicians who: have learned how to manipulate the system for personal gain, are increasingly dependent upon the wealth of corporations and certain wealthy individuals to obtain office, employ professional speech writers who expertly write speeches which divert, manipulate and placate the public. Speeches which they have no compunction against delivering. The U.S. has not yet had a President which does not fall into this category during the 21st century.

So yes, Joe Biden is entirely accurate with his claim of an unprecedented assault being waged upon our democracy. However, his assigning the primary source of that assault to those who engaged in the misguided actions in Washington, D.C. on Jan 6th is just more diversion and manipulation. It is more misinformation, which is, in fact, the true assault upon our democracy.

The key to dismantling this monstrosity of a manipulative system is simple and easily available to every individual in the U.S. In fact, every individual in the world. It is love. It is having love for all of humankind. It is basing our speech, our actions, our systems on the reality of that love. We must embrace the reality encapsulated in the “Golden Rule”: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” and genuinely and thoughtfully apply it in our lives. We are all an important part of an interdependent system. When we realize that, “One for all and all for one.” becomes much more than an interesting motto from a book.

What has happened to the promise of science?

We take the path of our own choosing. Although sometimes we can be led to believe our choices are limited to those another would choose for us.

I can remember growing at a time when there was a general understanding among people of what “science” is. It was known to be a method, a system, of approaching a problem, or a question, which will result in our having the most true and accurate perception of the thing. Then, using those results, we can make the best decisions, the decisions which will best serve humankind to not only survive, but have the best and brightest future possible. Of course, in our scientific explorations we also discover things which can be used for death and destruction, but good people have the wisdom to put those things aside unless possibly needed to defend ourselves, to defend our lives. We trusted those to whom we entrust the reins of leadership and our cultural wellbeing, to be people of honesty and integrity who will make wise decisions in our best interests and who will not lie to us about matters of consequence. That is the beautiful concept of a world I was introduced to in the mid-twentieth century.

So what happened? I think, in retrospect, a hazard of new fortune happened. Immediately prior to, during, and just after the second world war, humankind came into a wealth of knowledge about our world, our selves. Knowledge which could be made widely known and, while challenging some of our previously held beliefs, could help humankind have a collectively brighter future. Or, could be kept secretively in the hands of a relative few and the power of that knowledge used to manipulate everyone else, the general population, into becoming impotent, docile servants to a new version of “conqueror”. Conquerors who, for the most part, utilize the manipulation of ideas and our own perceptions to lead us into a willing enslavement which we perceive as the cost of defending our safety, even our freedom. Conquerors who use the tool of our own mind against us.

Unfortunately, maybe predictably, those holding the reins of power at the time chose the latter path. I say predictably because I have learned it is normal for children to get it wrong before they get it right. And the plight of humankind is as children trying to make a life on a beautiful planet which we have somehow, miraculously, found ourselves upon. It seems that, in the process of finding our way, as in the book “Lord of the Flies”, humankind is quite capable of allowing our imaginations and intoxication with power, along with some bad assumptions, into leading us to taking cruel actions upon one another. Unlike the children in “Lord of the Flies”, I don’t think we can expect a military rescue. If we are going to be rescued it is upon us to rescue ourselves. We must get in touch with our better nature, turn to the values, the thinking and behavior, which will lead us to a recognition of our kinship, brothers and sisters bound, if by nothing else, by the mutuality of our plight. A plight which, if handled with loving care, can be realized as a blessing in which we can fulfill our best and brightest dreams.

So what has happened to the promise of science? That bright shining light on the hill which has so often wonderfully inspired our hopes and imaginations? Along with the reins of our economy and government, it has been captured by those driven by the profit motive. The goals of many occupying the most visual, authoritative positions within science have been turned from being concerned with the collection of knowledge for the wellbeing of all humankind, into, far too often, being concerned with maximizing profits for one corporation or another. It’s that simple. Science itself, as the public often interfaces with it, has morphed from a tool for the betterment of all into, again, far too often, a tool primarily for the enrichment of a few. As it turns out, science, as with any other tool humankind has ever developed, is only as good as the motives and methods of those wielding it.
