Quote:February 2, 2024 / Joseph P. Farrell

There's a strange little story out of Russia that has slipped completely under the radar of most of the lamestream propotainment media around the world, but which, thankfully, was spotted by this website's legions of article spotters and sharers, in this case, by J.R., who passed it along with our deepest gratitude. Needless to say, I think this one portends that while Western civilization seems hell-bent on self-destruction and other insanities, Russia intends to enjoy the process a bit, and amuse itself by adding a little more chaos into the mix to demonstrate the West's utter lawlessness.

That is, if my high octane speculative reading of this latest Plot of the Super-Criminal Mastermind Vladimir Putin and those pesky-never-to-be-trusted-always-shifty-and-Byzantine-Russians is true:

Russia to allocate funds for search of Soviet, Imperial Russian property abroad

Now, as articles go, this one is short, and we can even quote the whole thing. But as content  goes, I think this is a bombshell of a legal nature equivalent to William the Conqueror's invention of the writ quo warranto. We'll get back to that mediaeval writ, because I think Mr. Putin has been doing a bit of reading in mediaeval English history and law. We'll get back to that too. Here's the article:

Quote:MOSCOW, January 19. /TASS/. Russia will allocate funds for an effort to find, register and ensure legal protection of Russia’s property abroad, including property of the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire.
A relevant decree, signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, will allocate funds for the purpose to the Department of Foreign Property of the Administrative Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation.

The funds will be allocated to cover expenses related to "the process of searching the real estate property owned by the Russian Federation, the former Russian Empire, the former USSR," as well as for "due registration of [property] rights" and "legal protection of this property."


Another decree allocates funds to cover the department’s expenses for maintaining and using Russia’s federal property abroad.

Now, to me it's amusing that Vladimir is the Russian form of William (according to some), because the effort of putting aside a little money to "find, register, and ensure legal protection" of Russia's property abroad, from whatever era of Russian history we might be concerned about, imperial or Soviet, seems to be to be the latest chapter in the post-Soviet, USA-led Western "rape of Russia", and Mr. Putin's ongoing domestic campaign against the oligarchs and former Communist apparatchiks that conducted that rape.  In short, it's that effort of finding and then registering that property that strongly suggests that Mr. Putin has taken a chapter from William the Conqueror's Domesday Book, and intends a process very similar to a writ quo warranto: by whose warrant?  The writ as originally conceived was simply a demand to prove jurisdiction (and thus, title and ownership); it is sort of the legal equivalent to a title search in real estate; it is a demand to prove the lawfulness of a jurisdiction, and indeed, one may  view a clear title or dead as being a subset of the legal doctrine behind quo warranto.

In other words, as originally conceived by William the Conqueror, the writ quo warranto was legal megatonnage, especially in a country like the England he conquered, with a tapestry of small private jurisdictions and privileges of nobility.

So strap in for a bit of legal fun over the next few years, and imagine the following fun scenarios:  how much money, for example, did certain large university endowments mulct from Russia through the sale of Russian state corporations or other assets, and were, in fact, those sales legal under then existing Russian and/or international and/or American or British or French law? What happens if they are found to be illegal? What will be the damages? And what if the implicated institutions refuse to pay? Were exchanges of property or territory under specific treaties or other contractual arrangements legally executed?

Russia may recover nothing from such a venture, or it may recover much.

But either way, Mr. Putin wins because he will be able to uncover yet more examples of lawlessness and corruption in Russia's principal adversaries, the very adversaries that like to pontificate unceasingly about the  rules based order and sanctity of law.

“Your resources will be taken and your presence and culture will be wiped from the history of your planet!”

I had been listening to the Kreb leader make promises on how he and his Superior Race would consume and destroy mankind unless we agreed to submit to a Kreb obedience collar. (Think of the Kreb obedience collar as something along the lines of an old earth shock doggy collar except this collar could not only inflict neural pain but take your head off with just a push of a button from the master control along with a voice activated command.) He had said with just a command from him all would knell before the Kreb collar while he actually held up the master control unit which looked like a small medallion of blue and silver.


We were on the Kreb intergalactic exploration ship called (rough translation) The Deliminator. When I say we; accompanying me were D1 thru D5 so call us six entities facing the Kreb leader and his council of 11.

I had enough of listening to the pompous Kreb so I finally raised my hand and said through our translator, “Instead of having so much thunder in your mouth it is better to have lightning in your hand,” and with that all “D” units opened fire with their Ultra short pulse laser which traveled at 300 million meters per second . The power output had thankfully been turned down so the “D” units would not be punching holes through the ship's hull.


I realize we were all in our armored space suits and looked alike but but these Kreb were absolutely stupid letting us into their council chamber without even a search of our armored suits, They might not have found anything as our weapons were well concealed in their own armored compartments but still.... Arrogance and the feeling of invincibility was quite strong with the Kreb.


A battle facing overwhelming odds, yet with the tenacity to try and win anyway makes for a heroic story but that is not how this story goes.

I instructed “D4” to retrieve the control unit for the collars from the Kreb leader's robe and told “D3” to see if it could crack open the the Deliminator's main computer or A.I.  While this was going on the other D units set up their perimeter cross fire guard positions just in case there had been an emergency signal sent somehow during our millisecond takeover.

I asked “D2” if he had enough voice prints from the long winded Kreb leader to mimic all the various sounds he had made during his grand speech. D2 said “No problem can do.”

I was going to pop a few Kreb heads off but as I studied the now dead council members I realized they were all wearing control collars; the only Kreb without a collar was the blowhard that claimed to be their leader and as far as I knew he might have had a brain implant to keep him in line too ?

I wanted this ship but I did not want to kill everyone on board to capture it unless I had to.

Chapter 2 A big stupid masterful plan:

D3 said without several hours of working there was not much of a chance of being able to gain entrance into the Kreb A.I. Central hub. The good news was he had managed to find the intercom system for the ship and he now had video feeds from different parts of this huge ship.

D3 and I spent several moments looking at various departments of the ship and I for one was amazed at all the different collared species dutifully doing their jobs aboard the Deliminator.

D2 transferred the language program to D3 while the intercom function was enabled.

“ Your attention please as we have some news you will be interested in hearing. The Kreb Council Chairperson is now dead and the control unit for your collars is with us. We want this ship to back engineer it's star drive and build a force to stop the Kreb from subjugating more races to their will. To this end I will need your help. I realize the collar has kept you in fear for your lives so as soon as we are able to build some trust with the members of this crew your collars will be removed and when able you can join us in destroying the Kreb or be returned to your own planet or domicile. I see many Sentient beings from different races on this Deliminator mega ship and I would hope if we unite we can bring an end to the Kreb slavery.”

I had to wait as according to the video feeds there was cheering and pandemonium from all the sections we could see in our feed.

After that I asked for a representative from navigation, communications, and computer control to please come to the council chamber unarmed.

They each came and a course was plotted to achieve Earth orbit while we made a repeating message that the Kreb ship was now under our command so basically, “do not shoot!”

The only person who had direct access to the ships A.I was the now dead Kreb commander however the computer specialist (little Hobbit looking fellow) that came to the council chamber assured me he would have a patch that would work with the A.I, within a short period of time.

I kept D3 with me and sent the other units to record, map, and search the ship's layout, Until we had use of the ships A.I. that was as good as we could do.

In the last 17 years we have set free 229 races enslaved by the Kreb. We now have a working Federation of Sentient Beings (the FSB) that promotes trade and free exchange of ideas for the betterment of all races. Sounds great and that is the intent regardless of the few who always want to subjugate someone else.

I have hung up my Armor suit and now have been relegated to a REMF position which pays great but I do miss the excitement.

The end

This one is a gem.

Sorry for all involved. I would never be a police office .

Quote:Allow me to introduce you to American Army's new Ripsaw M5 Robotic Combat Vehicle it’s absolutely terrifying and awe inspiring. It’s the world's first fully electric engine and fully autonomous super tank. It only weighs 10 and a half tons or 3 times less than a Bradley while still delivering the same firepower. You might have already seen them in giant blockbusters like Fast and Furious 8, Mad Max fury Road and GI Joe.

I personally feel there is much truth in Panspermia as our sensors and telescopes have detected all the building blocks of life in the universe where ever they are pointed to look. youtu.be...

I was sitting on my front porch trying to figure out what I could do to protect my retirement and family's assets.


Backstory:


One week ago the President had gotten on the news and television broadcast to announce the USA was 33 trillion in debt and the interest payment on that amount of debt was unsustainable. Therefore all retirement and savings accounts were as of now frozen while a 90% tax was figured on each account. IMO a tax is just a nice way of saying we are stealing from you especially in this instance.


As if the debt was not enough the Russians and the Chinese had called in the debt owed to them and there was only one way to pay the debt off; that was if all Americans and account holders in the USA helped pay off this debt with the money they had been saving and hording. Considering how the Congress approves and funds the finances and workings of the government if it were me I would start with the people who had been in office for a short time yet on a government salary were now multimillionaires! “Oh I forget nothing to see there !”


I had been retired now for a little over 20 years and while not rich we lived comfortably. Our house was paid for and we owed nothing to anyone (except for the yearly State and Federal taxes for living and breathing) we paid cash for whatever or did not buy anything..


The president had said Social Security would be increased by 10% to help offset the retirement funds that were being taxed out of existence and furthermore all money would now be digital.


“Big whoopty doo !”


Sitting in silence and waiting for a moment of lucidity to my dilemma was evidently not working and I was all out of fortune telling crystal balls.


The only good news was we were out in the country because according to the news, the riots and clashes of the people against the current government enforcers was going full blown chaos ! The banks were being broken into and even set on fire when people could not get “THEIR” money back from “THEIR” accounts. Protest were popping up everywhere and so were the armed enforcers .


The modern world is so interwoven with the accumulation of wealth or cash on hand that once the wealth pillar is removed from society it is like one of the legs of a three legged stool is violently removed.


I am afraid this really is THE END

Not sure if this post will have much interest depending on how far one has gone down these deep dark rabbit holes much like a labyrinth of endless mirrors, but here goes and the thread (essay) title will make sense (maybe) further down...

Back when Marilyn Ferguson's only published book was "Champagne living on a beer budget: How to buy the best for less", she still managed to...



Who better than acid trippin IFAS/SRI alum Dr. James Fadiman to help edit her "Brain/Mind" newsletter.

IFAS = International Foundation for Advanced Study.

Can LSD make you a billionaire? This was the title of a TV show transmitted by CNN Money on January 2015. After a retrospective of the psychologist James Fadiman and the engineer Willis Harman’s 1966 research on the potential of “psychedelic agents in enhancing creative problem-solving,” the audience could hear of Steve Jobs’ LSD experiences.

That might be a good place to start peeling back the layers and seeing where the whole 80's New Age, Inc. thing came from.

The Aquarian Conspiracy was hailed by many commentators as a keynote speech for the Eighties. The Aquarian Conspiracy went on to win the Book-of-the-Year Award from Renewal in 1980.

Quote:At its peak in the 1980s the publication had a worldwide base of some 10,000 subscribers, ranging from academics and intellectuals to schoolteachers and storekeepers, and helped to popularize the ideas of such notables as Prigogine, neuroscientists Karl Pribram and Candace Pert, physicists Fritjof Capra and David Bohm, psychologist Jean Houston and many others.

Ferguson was a founding member of the Association of Humanistic Psychology, earned numerous honorary degrees, and served on the board of directors of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Among those influenced by her was senator and vice-president Al Gore, who was partially inspired by Ferguson in the creation of the Congressional Clearinghouse on the Future and later met with her in the White House in 1993.
Marilyn Ferguson

Quote:In the early 1970s, Ferguson, by this point living in Los Angeles, began exploring burgeoning research into Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) and parapsychology. Her findings resulted in a book-length report on the field, the 1973 The Brain Revolution: The Frontier of Mind Research (“Just how vast is the potential of the human brain?” asked a full-page ad for the book that ran in the New York Times). She also began editing the Brain/Mind Bulletin, a journal about neuroscience and human behavior that developed a small but passionate following.

In 1977, Ferguson polled 210 diverse respondents on their feelings about a broad set of spiritual and consciousness-based trends that went beyond the established bounds of science. The results surprised her. She found that 96% of her respondents expressed belief in telepathy, 94% in psychic healing, 89% in precognition, 88% in clairvoyance, and 76% in consciousness surviving bodily death.

Ferguson showed the findings to Jeremy Tarcher, a maverick Los Angeles publisher who had once written for the original Star Trek television series and was known for publishing books on yoga and neuroscience.

Tarcher later recounted to the New York Times his initial astonishment at seeing the results: “I called Mrs. Ferguson because I was interested in her Brain/Mind Bulletin newsletter, and we went to lunch. She gave me a folder of material. I started to read it and I started to cry. It expressed all the things most important to my heart.”

Ferguson and Tarcher set to work synthesizing her findings and the most compelling information from Brain/Mind to create a paean to an emerging “New Age.”

Ferguson argued that the growing pains of contemporary America–militarism, class divisions, consumerism – were peeling away amid the new focus on the spiritual she chronicled through Brain/Mind and her survey. “The symbolic power of the pervasive dream in our culture: that after a dark, violent age, the Piscean, we are entering a millennium of love and light – in the words of the popular song, ‘The Age of Aquarius,’ the time of the mind’s true liberation,” Ferguson wrote.

Ferguson was particularly excited about the effect of New Age communications methods – more honest dialogue about emotions, more space for awe, more openness about the potential to use technology to foster connection between professionals and social acquaintances alike. Much of the book was a breathless and enthusiastic survey of the research Ferguson’s colleagues had conducted in communication and consciousness studies.

The book not only covered the emergent transition from the Piscean Age to the so-called Aquarian Age of the New Wave, but also wove an ambitious historical web that suggested the paradigm shift was long in coming. Ferguson linked the Transcendentalists, John Muir’s environmentalism, and concepts from figures as diverse as Gandhi, Buckminster Fuller, and Saul Bellow to the arrival of her heralded Aquarian Age.

...

LaRouche’s contention was that Ferguson’s book was actually a government-backed psyop, orchestrated through a labyrinthine web of think tanks led by England’s Tavistock Institute, NATO, and Stanford’s powerful Social Research Institute (SRI). LaRouche even contended that SRI’s well-connected director, Willis Harman, had effectively fed the text to Ferguson.

While fellow Futurists saw Ferguson as too rosy and spiritual, Carl A. Raschke, a University of Denver Religious Studies professor, argued that The Aquarian Conspiracy was chipping away at traditional American values. Raschke, interviewed for a 1986 New York Times piece exploring broader New Age criticism, said, “I think it’s as much a political movement as a religious movement, and it’s spreading into business management theory and a lot of other areas. If you look at it carefully you see it represents a complete rejection of Judeo-Christian and bedrock American values.”

Marilyn Ferguson’s The Aquarian Conspiracy and the New Age Era

Quote:In 1968 the U.S. Office of Education commissioned Stanford Research Institute (later called SRI) to have a look into the future and report what they’d found there. SRI took it one step further and spelled out what “changes in the conceptual premises underlying Western society would lead to a desirable future.” (Changing Images of Man, xvii)

The results were made into a book called “Changing Images of Man”, edited by O.W. Markley and Willis W. Harman. You can download a copy of the 1982 reprint here, courtesy of Skilluminati Research. This book is a conspiracy theorist’s wet dream. It is nothing less than a blueprint for a vast social engineering project undertaken by the very highest levels of the military/industrial complex. The project, as we’ll see, was already well underway by the time this study was commissioned, but in the late sixties and early seventies, thanks in part to this project, SRI was at the hub of just about every major development in the evolving “New Age” community.

Conspiracy theorists within the Christian right see this book, now almost mythical in status, as evidence of a very longrunning project, indeed, comprised of a Satanic plot to rule the world. But we, especially those on the political left who would completely ignore such theories, will need learn to step out of our own ivory towers from which we scorn those “ignorant fundies” and re-examine how the elites in our society operate.

Quote:Sir John Whitmore also wrote the foreword to and is extensively quoted in a book called Nine: Briefing from Deep Space which was published in 2005. The book is based upon interviews with extraterrestrial beings which a group of people including Whitmore, as well as Phyllis Schlemmer and Uri Geller, claimed to have had over a number of years. The book and Whitmore himself have been quoted and spoken about on a number of websites which explore such claims. During the 1970s, Whitmore commissioned Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry to write a script for a movie that he was intending to fund called The Nine, but the deal fell through.

US State Dept warns of travel to Bahamas and Jamaica

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/us-wa...rcna135970
The U.S. State Department on Friday increased its advisory level for would-be travelers to the Bahamas, urging "increased caution," as the nation's capital has recorded 18 murders this year.
The elevation to Level 2 follows a security alert posted Wednesday by the U.S. Embassy in Nassau, which expressed concern that Americans might be victimized by gang violence in the capital.

"Murders have occurred at all hours including in broad daylight on the streets," the embassy said in its alert. "Retaliatory gang violence has been the primary motive in 2024 murders."



https://www.travelandleisure.com/us-trav...ca-8553637
The U.S. State Department has issued a travel advisory for travelers to Jamaica.

[i]The advisory, which is a "Level 3," encouraging Americans to "reconsider travel" cites "violent crimes, such as home invasions, armed robberies, sexual assaults, and homicides, are common" as the reason for the alert.

The advisory also mentions all-inclusive resorts.


horrible news, especially for poor countries that rely on tourist dollars.
are we witnessing a slow global collapse?

hope they fix things down there.[/i]
