New Year’s Solutions

thoughts on the turning…

Having exhausted the enormity of problems (or the Problem, if you are so bold) we’re facing, and the urgency of our Reaction, it’s time to attune ourselves to Solutions.

In recent exchange with a friend similarly engaged in the “truth movement,” a few burning questions came up and I did my best to answer, on the fly. It can serve as a snapshot in time, the turning of the year 2022/2023, a turning of the tide.

What are some signs of hope, positive alternatives?

Awareness is key. Just as the cure for one’s own blind ego is being aware of it, the same principle holds on a global scale. The powers that be are disarmed by the witness of the world.

I find support and inspiration from other writers who exemplify qualities needed to overturn the inhumanity and insanity pressing us to the wall. In the aggregated news or substack highways and alleyways, I follow the upbeat, the empowered, the confident, the brave, the inspiring, the eloquent, the impassioned, the well-informed and proactive. They give hope by their own wry rebelliousness, infectious creativity, tireless research, and warm solidarity.

The same goes for the many independent podcasters, interview hosts, filmmakers and documentary producers, social media sharers and posters, who sow antidotes of fertilizing humor and deep-rooted truth in the wasteland of false narrative.

The Canadian Truckers Convoy was the wakeup call we all needed, victims and perps both. For the dissident community, it was a revelation to know suddenly, finally, that the masses of ordinary people across the country and the world were not all sheep signing up for the slaughterhouse. We are a humanity unbound; and if they disperse us for now with their priceless trump card, frozen assets, it doesn’t mean we are going back to sleep. We are completing the metamorphosis from docile ewe to mother bear.

Speaking of which, at least Canadians now have a voice in power, Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith, rivalling Florida’s Governor DeSantis for her breakthrough of truth-speaking, in a position of power to back it up. Canada’s Conservative Party leader, Pierre Poilievre, likewise is outspoken on the side of medical freedom and the truckers’ protest.

A recent Gallup poll says that only 28% of Americans are worried about Covid anymore. A healthy majority is fed up with the toxic Democratic leadership of that country. In BC, the Liberal party leader Kevin Falcon admits, “Whether we like it or not, I think a lot of the public is just really tired of all this.”

As for vaccines, a recent Rasmussen poll reports “7% had a major side effect from the COVID vaccine which is over 12M adults in the US. At least 71M adults experienced at least a minor side effect. The head pollster says, ‘Those numbers are absolutely astounding’” (Steve Kirsch). The silver lining is the exposure of vaccine harms, finally, to wider public acknowledgement via a trusted poll.

Court cases everywhere are overturning mandates and grilling officials, right up to the top with Dr. Fauci, forced into retirement as a hedge against compulsion to testify further in Congress. The state of Florida has announced a grand jury will investigate fraud, deaths, and wrongful censorship during the Covid regime.

The documentary Died Suddenly registered millions of views in the first day, pulling the curtain away from deadly blod clots, heart attacks, “turbo-cancers,” miscarriages and stillbirths, and spiking excess mortality rates. Once you see, you can’t unsee.

Narrative managers are backpedalling behind a moral smokescreen called “amnesty,” to avoid the Nuremberg trap of complicity with these crimes against humanity. Nice try, lockdown weasels and vaxall vipers. And playing victim is no excuse,  if you helped light the fire.

What is the way out of this mess? What if anything can we do?

I believe it’s important to keep speaking out, live and online, despite the increasingly desperate and blatant attempts from on high to “flood the zone” with their narratives about how things are and should be. We’ve been separated into social bubbles, but those boundaries are popping more and more as the big charade becomes litigated and exposed. Not to mention the rising excess mortality. That’s the biggie. Sharing personal experiences about the deaths is powerful to hear, and these stories add to what people need to hear from each other (along with documentaries such as Died Suddenly).

What is the end game for the majority of folks who see the plan and want to stop it?

I would find it hard to identify a majority outlook. What I perceive is a whole patchwork of different approaches—everything from which issues to focus on, to who to blame, to looking local or global, to styles of dissent, opting out, fleeing the country, learning to farm, supporting lawsuits… Groups of every size are active on all fronts, so it comes down to individual choice, talents and skills, what feeds us or what we do best, what enrages us to the point of no return. Not to mention… faith in God or Gaia or the Force or the White Hats or Life itself or common sense or natural human nature, to take care of things in the proper time, as the dark forces self-destruct.

‘Here’s a great big white pill for you: the technocratic system of tyranny is going to fail. This is not wishful thinking; it’s a cold statement of fact. Technocracy, in all its facets—from the UN’s 2030 Agenda to the brain chips and AI godheads of the transhumanists to the CBDC social credit surveillance state—is anti-human. It goes against nature itself. It cannot work in the long run, and it is destined to fail.’ —James Corbett

What ideas do you have that interest you specifically regarding this whole mess?  

It’s crucial to draw attention to the manipulated media landscape. As with the vax deaths, this charade is already becoming exposed to common knowledge. I see value in the mystic and mythic approach… zooming in and out as deep and wide as possible. Satire can help to puncture the bubble of fake consensus and pull aside some imperial garments. Mere facts and statistics will not penetrate a person’s defenses unless they are ready to receive them, so it helps to jostle the blinders with humor and common sense.

Then what’s needed is guidance toward alternative facts, paradigms, and ways of understanding the world, even reality itself. Along the way, we on the former fringe grow in mutual support and kinship with real, kind-hearted human beings who are not the “domestic terrorists” the official story paints us to be.

Guru Shaman Yogi Expert Nation

Just because you caught a buzz
and downloaded the latest gemstone app
doesn’t make you Queen of the Nile
or a Cherokee Princess with a shoulder strap.

Just because you can extrapolate
on the innate divine being seeing
through all our third-eyes
doesn’t make you a guru consummate.

Just because you drank some concoction
then traveled your astral-body to Guatemala
to clean out your toxins and brush up your stock options
doesn’t make you a shaman of the amygdala.

Everyone bow down to everyone, for a price,
in this Guru Shaman Yogi Expert Nation
where everyone’s an enlightened sensation
imparting just the right information.
Everyone bow down to everyone, for a price,
c’mon, baby, you’ll love it, makes you feel soooooooo nice.

Just because you can hold a pose
toes positioned right up there in your nose-ringed nose
while simultaneously chanting “namaste”
doesn’t make you a yogi from Bombay.

Just because you wrote a book
and strung the words like a fine necklace
eloquently showing you’re an expert
doesn’t mean you aren’t feckless.

Just grab an organic carrot juice
then floor it thru the drive-thru chakra balancing,
achieve all your manifesting destiny dreams
even if they’re laced with wangling.

Everyone bow down to everyone, for a price,
in this Guru Shaman Yogi Expert Nation
where everyone’s an enlightened sensation
imparting just the right information.
Everyone bow down to everyone, for a price,
c’mon, baby, you’ll love it, makes you feel soooooooo nice.

Tapping Your Inner Sap

by Mankh

Shootings are not just an American epidemic.

Headline: “Sweden Sees Deadliest Year With 60 Deaths in Shootings.” And quote from Magnus Gerell, an associate professor and criminologist at Malmo University: “Today it is more common that there is more than one shooter and that more shots are fired. It seems as if the killings have become more meticulously planned, which leads to more deaths. A trend we have seen for quite a while is that the victims and the shooters are becoming younger. Today it is often teenagers shooting other teenagers.”[1]

Guns, a product of colonialism (still going strong on steroids as US recently shipped billion$ to Ukraine, some destined for black market), have become a go-to choice for Euro-Americans for anger mis-management. Instead of reaching for a beverage or a deep breath, attempts at resolving extreme frustration and desperation are too-often done through the gun. A gun enables an immediate shock-value change, a faster than fast-food temper-tantrum gone violent AND randomly affecting others.

What this says to me is: Total loss of being in-tune with the natural ability of change, as, for example, a plant grows . . .  through concrete, or as the Tao encourages, blending WITH the natural world and going with THAT flow. Yet more than 2,500 years ago the Tao was well-aware of what could go awry: Sages “insure that what is taught does not cause violence.”[2]

From that I deduce: There is a shortage of Sages in the world! Being wise and peaceful somehow, somewhere became secondary to the fight to survive and, if lucky, be successful.

While the ancient Chinese understanding of “sage” may signify something different, the English root is from “sapere” from “sap –  juice or fluid which circulates in plants, the blood of plant life.” The Sanskrit root includes “milk, nectar.”[3]

Wow! Who knew? Sagacity is not some abstract holy man sitting cross-legged while levitating at the top of a mountain; sagacity is rooted in the soil and “circulates” like blood. Sages nurture.

Instead of tapping the inner sap, when people feel trapped with no way to vent their emotions, too-often they reach for the gun. Or maybe that’s psycho-babble and it’s just the side-effects of off-kilter prescription drugs. Whatever the case, violence is the immediate restructuring, injury, or elimination of someone or something. Violence is anti-life, anti-take-a-deep-breath and think about it first!, anti-feel-the-pain because big boys don’t cry so they repress emotions, becoming high school year-bookers voted most likely to make the news for shooting spree.
And by the way, what AREN’T they teaching in school that gets teenagers shooting teenagers?

Shooting ourselves in the feet?
Also, from recent mainstream verbiage, I sense other twisted efforts to eliminate.

“Net zero refers to a state in which the greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere are balanced by removal out of the atmosphere. To ‘go net zero’ is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and/or to ensure that any ongoing emissions are balanced by removals.”[4]

Reducing is good yet how it’s possible to neatly balance the air/atmosphere while billions of people drive cars and stuff gets shipped worldwide is beyond me; not to mention that “net zero” is an aerial fixation, a high-wire act distraction ignoring the destruction of habitats and human along with non-human suffering happening now. Yet “net zero” is being used as the greenwashing rallying cry for the “clean air” industrial revolution 2.0. Oxymoron anyone?

“Zero-COVID: The goal of the strategy is to get the area back to zero new infections and resume normal economic and social activities.”[5]

Aside from the unwieldy and, to some, laughable “normal economic and social activities,” considering it’s a virus – while an admirable goal healthwise – this “zero” is a fool’s errand, as viruses are a natural part of Earthly life.

“Zero-COVID” is being used as a rallying cry for mass vaccinations without consideration of side-effects, not to mention the right to choose aka bodily autonomy.

In these contexts, “zero-whatever” contains a flavor of totalitarian control. If we can just get rid of whatever it is, THEN everything will be hunky-dory. But who has zero problems in life?

“Zero” goals promote the carrot of future salvation while overlooking the stick of current suffering.

How to wean from instant-gratification and it’s flip-side karma, instant-dissatisfaction-violent-rage?

Sorry, slogan lovers, another world is not possible. We’re stuck with dealing with this one. But there is another way: Respond rather than over-react.

There is another way:  More than 1,000 years ago the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy of Nations) Peacemaker planted the Great Tree of Peace, representing the Great Law of Peace.

According to Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper, Turtle Clan, Onondaga Nation: “The Haudenosaunee Confederacy was formed by our Peacemaker over 1000 years ago, according to our Gayanashagowa, or Great Law of Peace;  and it is the oldest continuous democratic government in North America.  Our system of confederated government was acknowledged as the model for your government by the United States Congress in 1987.”[6]

There are many traditions worldwide espousing and living a Peaceful Way. It can require much discipline to change one’s behavior patterns from argumentative, combative and belligerent . . . to . . . listening, seeking common ground and open-hearted. Yet for simple starters: Remember that each of us knows somewhere inside, in the bones and blood, what peace feels like. And for far longer than human beings, trees and plants have known about peace and will continue to remind us . . .  if we would stop cutting them down and stop paving over them, and instead, start listening . . .
