Freedom vs. Fascism

‘There are only two sides… fascism or freedom.’
—CJ Hopkins, The Naked Face of New Normal Fascism

Are we now under rule of a permanent “Emergency,” to replace the arbitrary Covid mandates that groomed us for this outcome? The Corona crisis was never about public health or safety, but abusing those principles, weaponizing them to advance an ironclad agenda. It was always about “the vaccine” and the eradication of human culture worldwide, to implement a top-down Great Reset for the benefit of the real “fringe minority”: the self-appointed ruling class.

‘Covid vaccines: A product so safe and effective that they have to impose martial law and seize people’s bank accounts in order to get them to take it.’ —Toby Rogers

The misbranded vaccine served admirably as Davos’s Swiss army knife to perform such surgery: irresistible panacea, lifetime subscription product, digital control interface, timed-release depopulation agent. The vaxport was the Trojan horse of the larger social control matrix, gleefully unveiled this week by Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland, no pun intended, live on TV. The science, it turns out, was not medical science, but political science.

The Emergency Act serves as the official proclamation of a silent coup that has already been waged on the citizenry for two years under the banner of a pandemic. Now that cover is blown and we face full frontal fascism. It’s an asymmetric, vertical war, between the rulers and everyone else.

This battle for earth’s future, like it or not, is our chosen test. Apparently we are not destined to live in contented peace, but to vie for justice and freedom against the likes of Klaus Schwab and his protégés, with World Economic Forum board member Freeland and Young Global Leader Justin (he/hid) Trudeau.

Freedom starts within. Joining together, we find heart and solace in common ground as citizens—not subservient to state-sanctioned thought control, but celebrating freedom in action, at street parties, prayer circles, live conferences and concerts, pitchfork socials. Finding connectivity not only through digital space but live with others, in community.

Now that we’re all here on the front lines, in body or spirit, the battle is finally arrayed in full view for everyone to see. It was never about the virus. You, me, humanity itself, we are the real virus; it is against us that all-out war has been declared.

For those still awaking, two questions remain:

Did you learn anything from two years of lockdowns?

Where do you stand now?

Quotes of the Week:

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?” ― George Orwell, 1984

‘The official narrative is dead, or dying. The Covidian Cult is coming apart. No one but the most fanatical New Normals believes there is any real justification for imposing mandatory “vaccination,” “quarantine camps,” segregation of “the Unvaccinated,” or any of the other “Covid restrictions.” “The virus” is no longer an excuse for mindlessly following ridiculous orders and persecuting those of us who refuse.

‘Apocalyptic Pandemic Theater is over. It is a purely political fight from now on…. It is time to make the monster show itself, in all its naked fascist ugliness.’

—CJ Hopkins, The Naked Face of New Normal Fascism

‘The western world has been socially engineered and propagandized into enemy camps, with those cherishing freedom, liberty, free speech, and the Bill of Rights at odds with those insisting on total government control, mandates, regulations, censorship, and the use of force to inflict their beliefs upon everyone.‘…

‘When republics devolve into democracies the seeds of its destruction are planted and when free market capitalism mutates into a globalist scheme of corporate fascism, permanent enslavement or revolution are the only two options for the citizens.’…

‘We were warned, but most did not heed the portent to prepare. There will be no way to escape what is coming, but we must realize who stands on the side of good and who embodies the evil currently in control of our government, media, universities, military, medical and financial institutions.’ —Jim Quinn

‘Deciding to seize funds is a major leap in the manic progression of a certain type of disordered authoritarian personality who’s suddenly everywhere. They’re coming out of decades-long disguises as milquetoast center-left careerists, and they all seem to believe now that all things on earth happen or don’t because of them. It’s as if Raskolnikov’s madness seized a generation of Western yuppies simultaneously.’ …

‘Meanwhile, news came out that Trudeau was announcing the Emergencies Act would need to stay in place for a while, because of potential “future blockades.” Open-ended preventive autocracy, in Canada. Who had that on a Bingo card? Justin Trudeau? Chrystia Freeland? Christ, it’s like waking up to learn the cast of The Office has declared the Fourth Reich. Boring people are dangerous, too.’

—Matt Taibbi, When Boring People Turn Dangerous: Canada’s Insane Power Grab

‘Once a person or movement becomes convinced that their opponents have exited the ordinary playing field of politics, then they are instantly convinced of the righteousness of any and all tactics used to attack them. Within the logical world where one is convinced that they really are fighting a white nationalist, fascistic, insurrectionary global movement to overthrow liberal democracy, then all the weapons we were long taught to view as despotic suddenly become ennobled, even tools necessary for the protection and advancement of democracy. And it is through this self-glorifying tale which Western neoliberals are telling themselves that they have become exactly what they shrilly insist they are battling.’ —Glenn Greenwald, The Neoliberal War on Dissent in the West

‘The implementation of emergency war powers in Canada to suspend rights, is either a temporary overreach of power or a blatant authoritarian shape shift to crush political dissent, seize assets, and implement martial law on completely fabricated charges. The majority of people in the U.S. and Canada are seeing the totalitarian shape shift, and loudly screaming “Fire!” but there are no western leaders rushing with an extinguisher, nor even any acknowledgement of what is happening.’ —Good Citizen

‘… the hypocrisy of neo-liberal “rules-based” order ideologues in action over the past few years who are quick to celebrate the “liberty” of citizens of Ukraine, Hong Kong, or Xinjiang when the outcome benefits the geopolitical aims of detached technocrats hungry for global hegemony. The moment genuine self-organized labor movements arise demanding basic rights be recognized, then the masks comes off and the rage of tyrants show their true faces.’ —Matt Ehret, There is a Limit to the Tyrant’s Power

Demon Slayers to the Rescue

By William T. Hathaway

We live in a time of multi-level ghastliness. People are dropping dead from COVID and dropping dead from the vaccine that’s supposed to prevent it. The weather is rampaging, the earth spewing fire. Mental illness has become normal.

All these horrors seem to be connected: one hydra-headed demon generated by the fear, negativity, and stress humans are radiating into our environment. What we need are demon slayers, and that’s one of the specialties of Shiva and his partner Durga. When we activate them, they can dissolve this demon so humanity can think clearly and act positively. They can free us from destruction and help us transition towards divinity. This enlightening takes place within us individually at the microscopic level and within the collective consciousness at the macroscopic level.

The deities are real. They are great cosmic forces and a part of us. Enlivening them improves our lives immensely.

To activate the demon-slaying aspect of Shiva and Durga, light a candle and chant this sutra into the looming dark consciousness that surrounds us:

Aum namo Bhagwate Rudrāya
(I bow to Shiva in the aspect of Rudra, the remover of suffering and ignorance)
Nirakara momkara mulam turiyam
(to him who is formless, the root of Om, dwelling in the transcendent)
Gira Gyana gotita misham Girisham
(beyond speech and knowledge of the senses, Lord of the mountains)
Karalam Mahakala kalam krpalam
(the terrible, the Lord of time, the giver of grace)
Gunagara samsara param nato-ham
(the home of all qualities, beyond dualities)

Aum Dumg Durgayē namaha
(I bow to the liberating aspects of Durga)
Kriya Tarini
(action that enlightens and saves us from calamities)
Kali Rakshakāri
(destroyer of demons)
Raj Rajeshwāri
(ruler of emperors)
Chandikam prana-mām-yaham
(I bow to the destroyer of ignorance and evil)
Tham, Tham; Thah, Thah; Chandika
(mantras for Goddess Chandika, a fierce aspect of Durga)
Shraddhā
(faith, which Maharishi Mahesh Yogi described as the wrapping that keeps the package, our spiritual journey, intact until it reaches its destination in the state of enlightenment)

Yaj-jā-grato duura-mudaiti daivam
(May divinity replace suffering)
Tadu suptasya tathaiveti
(in my waking and sleeping consciousness)

Jaya Jaya
(rhymes with “my-a”)
Vidjayante taram
(victory to you)

Close your eyes, press your hands upwards in front of your chest, bow, and picture Shiva and Durga sweeping away the darkness with their divine light.

This ceremony of enlivening the deities is a small but real contribution to transforming out of this crisis and establishing an enlightened society living at peace with the planet. And that is worth doing.

If you’d like to contact Shiva and Durga and enrich your life with their presence, this website will show you how, all for free: https://meetshiva985866381.wordpress.com/.
