In the video titled “Your Own Damn Fault“, Larken Rose argues that reality has a built-in reward and deterrent system that is effective if the consequences are immediate and obvious. However, many people are not aware of this because the consequences of their actions are not immediate enough for them to recognize that it is their own fault.
He uses examples such as how Trump supporters cannot deny that Biden’s inflation was caused by Trump’s socialist policies, and how the high crime rates in disarmed areas are due to the victims’ lack of weapons. Rose concludes that people’s political and personal choices can have long-term consequences that they will have to face, and it is their own fault for reaching those consequences.
Larken Rose then addresses the ongoing murder of civilians in other countries committed by the US military. He argues that these actions have led to a boiling point where some people feel justified in responding violently, even if it means harming innocents. He also criticizes the idea of supporting the troops and the military, arguing that their actions ultimately harm civilians and serve corporate interests.
Larken Rose further touches upon the issue of police brutality in the US, arguing that the police are not always protecting innocent people, but rather are involved in road piracy and are more interested in justifying their actions than in stopping true criminals. He ultimately questions the idea of supporting the sheriffs and the police, arguing that their actions often harm innocent people and do not truly protect the innocent.
According to Larken Rose, law enforcement is not synonymous with freedom or justice, but rather is used to control the population through violence and intimidation. He argues that drugs and other “vice” laws have only made society more dangerous and violent, as they create a black market where organized crime can thrive.
He uses the example of alcohol prohibition to illustrate this point, noting that the Mafia took control of the alcohol trade and created widespread corruption and violence. Larken Rose suggests that ending the War on Drugs and legalizing drugs like marijuana would help to reduce violence and abolish organized crime.
Larken Rose goes on to argue that government intrusion into various aspects of people’s lives, including poverty levels, homelessness, food waste, and housing regulations, are ultimately the result of the problem being created by the left. He suggests that the left relies on keeping people dependent on the government and believes that government hostility is necessary for the common good.
He draws on personal anecdotes to illustrate how such policies have caused hardships for people, including homelessness and job losses. He believes that government violence is a major contributing factor to society’s problems, and that it is essential to recognize one’s limitations and avoid imposing them on others.
Larken Rose then challenges the validity of conservative claims to a right to freedom. He further suggests that the remoteness of the consequence from the cause often leads to cheering for a solution without understanding its true nature and its impact on society.
Larken Rose is critical of not just conservatives but also the political left, arguing that many of their economic regulations and support for government welfare harm people. He concludes that people need to understand the causes and effects of their actions, recognize the failings of their political beliefs, and take responsibility for their mistakes if they truly care about justice and society’s welfare. He challenges people to check whether their advocacy is causing more problems than solutions and to dare to take responsibility for their actions.
At the end of his speech, Larken Rose emphasizes that individuals need to take responsibility for their own problems and stop blaming society or external factors for their issues. Whether someone is a conservative, liberal, or voter, they are personally responsible for their actions. The speaker raises the question of asking if individuals dare to take a step back and self-reflect, acknowledging their role in the problem and taking action to resolve it, or do they cling to their comfort zones and ignore the suffering of others. He uses examples of child hunger and homelessness as examples of human suffering that can be a result of inaction, emphasizing the urgency of addressing these issues.
In this interview, Ronald Bernard, a former Dutch banker, exposes the elite’s involvement in the global financial system. He discusses how the elite has stolen the real value of money, leading to national debts and inflation. He claims that the interest rate at the top of the pyramid is added to the capital, and the rules, laws, and organizations ensure that the bottom layer stays in place to avoid the wealthy becoming overpowered.
Bernard highlights how the elite uses gas prices and inflation as their primary methods for depleting the masses’ purchasing power and extracting their value. Additionally, he discusses the European Central Bank’s role in creating new money every month to increase inflation and steal value from the population. Bernard calls out the elite for their deceptive and exploitative methods in the financial and economic systems.
Later, Ronald Bernard talks about the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and its role in the financial crisis, arguing that it has not been used as intended but rather by banks for their own gain. He then talks about the lack of change in the current political system, calling it a puppet system where individuals start working for the higher powers once in a coalition, rather than the people.
He also discusses his experience with becoming a social entrepreneur after going through trauma processing and his involvement in an inner circle of a religion that involves organ trafficking and child exploitation. He talks about the difficulty faced in disclosing these iniquities and the need to continue challenging unjust practices in the world.
Detailed Description
In the interview, which is in Dutch but dubbed over in English, Ronald Bernard talks about his background and experiences in the financial sector. He has always been an entrepreneur at heart and enjoys the independence it provides. While working in import/export, he encountered different currencies and had to trade through brokers, and his broker suggested he consider making more money through the financial world by trading in assets to make money from differences in interest rates. He agreed and took over the broker’s spot but asked for a commission. The broker warned him that it came at a great cost and that he couldn’t do it with a clear conscience. However, Bernard was already used to putting his conscience in the “freezer” as a survival mechanism due to his difficult upbringing.
He goes on to discuss his experience working in the financial world and the small, circular nature of the global flows of money. He explains that banks and other financial institutions use certain financial constructions and international legislation to move money in a way that makes everything appear to be legitimate to supervisors and regulatory bodies worldwide. He also talks about his role in changing currencies and the use of money in the retail market. He uses the example of the Iraqi dinar, which was backed by oil and had value officially, to illustrate the importance of understanding the relationship between money and oil in global trade.
When exposing the elite’s involvement in money laundering and how they manipulate society through rules and regulations, Ronald Bernard recounts his experience working as a banker in Germany and their task of processing cash in such a way that it can be legally reintroduced into the money circulation. Bernard revealed that the bank is filled to maximum capacity with dollars and needed to be emptied to make way for German marks. Bernard also highlights how Iraq’s representatives wanted to remain free from accusations and were all friends on the same side, despite appearances to the contrary. Bernard’s job was to process the cash without being detected, and he had to have nerves of steel to do so. He played at the highest level for about five years but eventually gave up, seeing it as an intense moment in his life.
Ronald Bernard then discusses his experience working in the financial world and the knowledge he gained about the real world through his clients, which included banks, governments, multinationals, and even terrorist organizations. He talks about the connections he saw between these groups and the flows of money that went from one place to another. Bernard also discusses the role of secret services and how they are involved in the financing of walls, creating conflict and misery in the world. He reflects on the realization that the entire world as we know it is just an illusion, something he learned through his work in the financial world. Despite this knowledge, he acknowledges that there were things happening in his life that he did not expect, such as his freezer malfunctioning. Overall, Bernard describes the financial world as complex and full of hidden truths, and his experiences within it as eye-opening.
He also discusses his involvement in massive dumping of currency which reduced the value of Italian businesses and caused them to go bankrupt. He talks about a successful deal with the Italian lira and how it resulted in the company going bankrupt. He then shares his own personal experience with volunteering with a religious group that played with dark and demonic imagery, including Satanism. He acknowledges the fact that some people take these things seriously and that it can be difficult to speak about due to his conscience not being perfectly aligned with these circle’s beliefs.
Ronald Bernard goes on to talk about how he came to refuse assignments and became suspicious of the world around him. He mentions blackmailing and the use of mind-control in politics and business, and discusses how he studied theology and psychology to make sense of what he was experiencing. He also mentions the Protocols of Zion and recommends that everyone read and study the document.
The use of fear and deception to control humanity is also discussed, and then he talks about the luciferian entity and how it wants to divide humanity based on politics, skin color, and religion, in order to weaken them. Bernard highlights the importance of standing up for ourselves and our beliefs in order to overcome this entity and its agenda. He encourages his listeners to open their eyes to the true creation, one that is based on love and unity. Bernard also discusses the concept of a powerful being that can appear with just a little light, and that can help us overcome a long period of darkness.
After that, he discusses his near-death experience and the intense experience he had upon his departure from the world of banking. He acknowledges that he has seen how the elite were working on him and talks about the physical and emotional torture he experienced. He also talks about the realization that he is not just his body but a vessel in the physical world. He mentions that his end of the first life was so extreme that he could not handle it any longer, but his mind power was so strong that it only happened to his own body. He also talks about how he had wished to take drugs and alcohol to make his end gentler, but we know that most colleagues in the banking world are already dead by now. He then talks about the pyramid-shaped financial system used by the elite to control the world’s money and banks. The pyramid-shaped financial system, headquartered in Switzerland and Belgium, has a system that starts at the top with eight thousand eight or five hundred people giving orders, and the mechanism is a pyramid-shaped system that propagates downward to be executed.
He goes into detail discussing the Basel Institute for Banking Supervision (BIS) and its role in the global financial system. The BIS, originating from the Netherlands in 1930, is recognized worldwide as the headquarters of the financial world, with every central bank being a member of this civil organization. The headquarters agreement describes the BIS’s range of power, authorization, level of operations, and output. The BIS has complete immunity from everything on earth, including its own police service, making it a fully recognized immune state beyond the grasp of any rules. The speaker also discusses the BIS’s role during World War I, where it facilitated the trading of gold between enemies. The BIS also calculates the amount needed for countries to ensure they will never be able to pay off their debts, enabling them to increase their grip on countries or continents.
The speaker then talks about the city of London as a financial hub and a player in the global financial system. He mentions the concept of a free state, where institutions like Vatican City, Washington DC, and the BIS in Basel are immune from regulation and do not answer to anyone. The speaker goes on to explain how money is created based on debt in an economy, and how the interest rate is used as one of the mechanisms to regulate credit and control the financial pyramid. The speaker argues that the continuous stream of debt and interest rates causes a global shortage and contributes to the global misery experienced by people in society.
Ronald Bernard then discusses how the elite has stolen the real value of money, leading to national debts and inflation. He claims that the interest rate at the top of the pyramid is added to the capital, and the rules, laws, and organizations ensure that the bottom layer stays in place to avoid the wealthy becoming overpowered. Bernard highlights how the elite uses gas prices and inflation as their primary methods for depleting the masses’ purchasing power and extracting their value. Additionally, he discusses the European Central Bank’s role in creating new money every month to increase inflation and steal value from the population. Bernard calls out the elite for their deceptive and exploitative methods in the financial and economic systems.
As an informer, he says calculations by economists show that 80% of people pay interest throughout their lives while only 10% receive it and another 10% pay out interest to the system. Additionally, the informer highlights the historical background of interest rates being illegal and punishable by death, but it is now common in Islamic banking, despite the legalization of interest being against Islamic morality. The informer also takes issue with private banks’ influence in the financial system, which he argues has no oversight and is not accountable to the public. Finally, the informer discusses the European Stability Mechanism, an institute created by a vote from the House of Representatives in 2012, and notes that it is a protected, free state with employees receiving indemnification and immunity.
He explains that the ESM mechanism is designed to ensure that any required amount of money, ranging from 10 billion to 100 billion euros, is delivered by the Netherlands within seven days. However, the speaker argues that most of the money sent through the ESM is not reaching the intended recipient countries but is instead being used by banks for their own gain. The speaker uses the example of Greece as an illustration, noting that a lot of money has been sent through the ESM but only a small percentage has reached Greece. Instead, he argues that the money is being channeled through Germany, France, and the Netherlands to its own banks. The speaker notes that the rich are getting richer as a result, while the poor are getting poorer. The speaker also talks about the role of multinationals and pharmaceutical companies in the financial crisis. He argues that these companies are profiting from the financial crisis and that their immunity is allowing them to get away with anything. He describes this as the world’s biggest villains’ dream come true. Overall, the speaker argues that the financial crisis is a result of a system that has been designed to favor the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the poor. He calls on people to become aware of this system and to take action to bring about change.
Ronald Bernard then discusses the current political system and the lack of change in the last 40 years, particularly in political topics such as healthcare and the economy. Bernard notes that political parties are filled with people who are dedicated to their principles and desire to make a change, but once a coalition is formed, they immediately start working for the higher powers rather than the people. Bernard calls these individuals “puppets” and argues that they are responsible for manipulating the media to keep their actions hidden from the public. Bernard mentions several examples of small groups of people who have made it onto political stages but receive little attention from the mainstream media or are otherwise ignored. He believes that the movement of the people is needed to bring about real change to the system.
When discussing his experience with becoming a social entrepreneur after going through trauma processing, he talks about the negative mentality of the Dutch society and how they often break down success that is essential for humanity. Bernard believes that getting clean inside and becoming strong through drama processing is the key to overcoming this negativity and to successfully realizing manifestations. He also mentions the tremendous impact his interview has had worldwide, with over 18 million people watching it, and the current power structure of the financial system being exposed. However, Bernard acknowledges that his focus was initially on himself and his creation, and he did not expect the interview to have such a widespread impact.
In his own words, Ronald Bernard started an initiative in the past, but the fear and lack of trust made it difficult for him to succeed. He mentioned the Protocols of Zion, which he believes are a matter of conscious control and were written in ancient texts. Bernard also talked about how people around the world are praying for teams to support him and his work, while others try to prove that he is a liar. He admits that there are a lot of people who try to use his past as an argument to discredit him, but he believes that what he is doing is important. He also mentions that the fear of change is what keeps people from realizing the truth and that many people are afraid of the truth coming out.
Eventually, Ronald Bernard discusses his involvement in an inner circle of a religion that he believes to be sick and involves organ trafficking and child exploitation. He talks about how he ended up in the inner circle through an invitation from a colleague and how it was initially supposed to be another type of event, but the truth about it was shocking. He also talks about how children organs are taken from the burnout nurses in India, and no one is talking or taking action about it.
This organized trafficking and child abuse he sis operate on a large scale, including cases where perpetrators are acquitted despite evidence of their crimes. He claims that children are damaged from an early age and that allowing such behavior contributes to a sick world and impending war. Bernard urges people to wake up and take responsibility for their actions. He has personally experienced child abuse and has committed himself to protecting the children and making a positive change in the world.
Ronald Bernard emphasizes that his and his family’s privacy are important to them, and that they do not share everything about themselves on the internet. He then talks about the theme of a curriculum vitae (CV) in the Netherlands and how he has not wished to write one about his past life because everything he did in official companies had a deeper layer to it. He also notes that getting a seat on the stock exchange was not just a coincidence but rather a result of many years of being busy and active as an entrepreneur.
He explains that people in circles of power are unlikely to come forward or testify about wrongdoings, especially if it may damage their relationships or reputations. He notes that he has personally recovered from trauma experienced during his time as an insider in the banking industry, despite facing challenges in receiving validation and support for his claims. He highlights the specific challenges of trying to reveal information worldwide, and the many people who may not believe his testimony. Despite these challenges, Bernard notes his determination to continue challenging unjust practices and the need to protect children and demand accountability.
Ronald Bernard concludes the three part interview by speaking about the connection between trade and human trafficking, specifically child labor. He emphasizes the tragic consequences of these practices, with an estimated 17,000 children dying every day from hunger and thirst. Bernard highlights the need for individuals to take action and stand up against these injustices, stating that more and more people are becoming aware and taking action. He believes that this movement could lead to meaningful change in the world.
YouTube has made the decision to ban an Australian parliament speech, marking the first time in history that it has done so. The speech, given by the Honorable John Ruddick, criticizes the authoritarian measures taken by the state and federal liberal governments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ruddick questions the need for lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations and highlights the delayed response from the Liberal Party in speaking out against the government’s actions. He also discusses various topics including the founding of the Red Cross, concerns about the arms buildup in the Asia-Pacific region, and the potential dangers of big government.
Additionally, he questions the validity of the global warming narrative and proposes the idea of a government-free society. The speech concludes with Ruddick expressing his belief in maximizing human potential and inviting his parliamentary colleagues to join the libertarian movement.
YouTube banned the video after it was published on the Australian government channel, citing “Content Violation“.
In the beginning of his speech, the Honorable John Ruddick reflects on his relationship with the New South Wales Liberal Party and discusses his decision to join the Liberal Democrats. He criticizes the authoritarian measures taken by state and federal liberal governments during the COVID-19 pandemic, referring to them as an overreaction to a “bad flu.” He questions the need for lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations, citing Sweden’s approach of trust in its citizens. He also highlights the delayed response of the Liberal Party members in speaking out against the government’s actions. Additionally, he mentions an article from the New York Times that claims no one had caught COVID-19 in an outdoor environment.
At 00:05:00, the speaker expresses their disappointment with several aspects of the Australian government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. They criticize the implementation of lockdowns and the push for multiple vaccine injections, noting that there has been an increase in excess deaths since the vaccine rollout. The speaker also highlights the banning of Ivermectin, a drug that has shown potential in treating COVID-19, and suggests a conflict of interest in the influence of pharmaceutical companies over the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Additionally, they criticize the liberal party for the increase in government debt and their surrender to pressure for a net-zero carbon economy. Despite these disappointments, the speaker expresses hope for budget repair under the new government.
At 00:10:00 of the video, the speaker discusses the principles of libertarianism and highlights Switzerland as a successful example. They emphasize the belief in limited government, the inherent morality of capitalism, and the negative consequences of big government. They praise Switzerland for its low government intrusion, decentralized power, and high per capita income. The speaker also mentions Switzerland’s healthcare system, low crime rate with high firearm ownership, and its tradition of staying out of wars. The video excerpt showcases the speaker’s admiration for the Swiss model and its alignment with libertarian ideals.
At 00:15:00 John Ruddick discusses various topics including the founding of the Red Cross by a Christian businessman, concerns about the arms buildup in the Asia-Pacific region, the potential for a catastrophic war, the importance of free speech, the dangers of big government, and the impact of mass delusions. He also shares the story of William Buckley, an escaped convict who was adopted by an Aboriginal tribe and witnessed a mass delusion among the tribes. The member emphasizes the need for de-escalation and the separation of church and state to prevent the magnification of delusions by state power.
At 00:20:00 the politician questions the validity of the global warming narrative and the motives behind it. He suggests that the predictions of rising temperatures and shrinking ice caps have not materialized, and natural disasters are just part of natural cycles. He also criticizes the shift from global warming to climate change and the hostility towards nuclear energy. The politician questions the qualifications of prominent figures like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg in the field and raises concerns about the commercial and political interests at play. He argues that the environmental movement has been hijacked by a money-making scheme and highlights the need to focus on animal welfare and the protection of endangered species and native forests.
At 00:25:00 the parliament member discusses the idea of a government-free society and the potential benefits it could bring. He argues that a society based on voluntary interaction could be more humane, safe, vibrant, diverse, and successful. He suggests gradually phasing out government over decades with democratic consent and highlights the issues of legalized coercion and the excessive size of government today. He proposes several initial steps towards a zero percent government, including abolishing middle-class welfare, adopting a Swiss-style healthcare system, and replacing the Department of Education with a school voucher system. He also suggests privatizing the police and court system, while acknowledging the need for finding effective ways to care for the poor. The speech concludes by emphasizing the superiority of innovative and efficient solutions, such as Uber, over heavily regulated taxes, and highlights other government services that anarcho-capitalists believe can deliver an upgrade in quality service.
At 00:30:00 the speaker expresses his belief in maximizing human potential and reaching for other worlds. They argue for a government-free, voluntary-based society as a means to tap into humanity’s highest potential. The speaker also highlights the historical impact of libertarianism, such as its articulation of the benefits of free enterprise and its opposition to socialism and Keynesianism. They mention the libertarian stance on gay marriage, opposition to Middle Eastern Wars, and support for minorities being bullied by the state and popular culture. The speaker concludes by inviting their parliamentary colleagues to join the libertarian movement and complete a membership form.
Direct Energy Weapons (DEWs) have garnered attention due to their potential capabilities and controversial applications. These advanced systems utilize various forms of energy, such as lasers or microwaves, to produce precise and directed effects on Targeted Individuals. In this article, we will explore the nature of DEWs, their working principles, their effects on humans, the known ownership by governments, and the motivations behind their use on individuals.
Understanding Direct Energy Weapons
Direct Energy Weapons encompass a range of technologies designed to deliver energy in concentrated forms over a targeted area or individual. These weapons can employ lasers, high-power microwaves, particle beams, or acoustic energy to achieve their intended effects. Unlike conventional weapons that rely on projectiles or explosives, DEWs operate through the transmission of energy waves.
Working Principles of DEWs
The working principles of DEWs vary depending on the specific technology employed. However, two primary mechanisms are commonly associated with DEW operations:
High-Energy Lasers: High-energy laser systems generate an intense beam of focused light. The laser beam can be directed towards a target, causing localized heating, damage, or destruction. These lasers can be further classified as solid-state, gas, or chemical lasers based on their energy source.
High-Power Microwaves: High-power microwave systems emit electromagnetic waves in the microwave frequency range. These waves can disrupt or damage electronic systems by inducing high voltage or current within their components. The effects range from temporary malfunctions to permanent damage, depending on the intensity and duration of exposure.
Effects on Humans
DEWs have the potential to cause various effects on humans, depending on the energy type, power level, duration of exposure, and targeted body area. Possible effects include:
Thermal Damage: High-energy lasers can generate intense heat, causing burns, tissue damage, or even ignition of flammable materials.
Non-Thermal Effects: High-power microwaves can interact with human tissues, affecting nerve function, inducing pain or discomfort, and disrupting physiological processes.
Sensory Disruption: Certain DEWs can target sensory organs, including the eyes and ears, leading to temporary or permanent impairment of vision or hearing.
Known Ownership by Governments
Several governments are known to possess and develop DEW technologies for various purposes, including research, military applications, and defense systems. Notable examples include:
United States: The United States military has invested significantly in DEW research and development. Programs such as the U.S. Air Force’s Airborne Laser and the Navy’s Laser Weapon System have demonstrated the use of high-energy lasers for defense purposes.
Russia: The Russian military has also shown interest in DEW capabilities. The Peresvet laser system and the S-400 Triumf air defense system are examples of Russia’s focus on laser-based weaponry.
Motivations for the Use of DEWs on Individuals
The motivations behind the use of DEWs on individuals remain speculative and controversial. While concrete evidence is scarce, several hypothetical reasons have been suggested:
Military Applications: DEWs offer advantages in terms of precision targeting, reduced collateral damage, and the potential to disable or neutralize threats without conventional weaponry.
Counter-Personnel Purposes: DEWs may be used for crowd control, deterrence, or incapacitation in law enforcement or military scenarios.
Intelligence Gathering: DEWs could be utilized to disrupt or disable electronic devices, communication systems, or other critical infrastructure for intelligence-gathering purposes.
Experimental Research: Governments may explore DEWs for research and development, testing their capabilities, and understanding their potential applications.
Conclusion
Direct Energy Weapons represent a fascinating yet controversial field of advanced weaponry. Their precise effects, capabilities, and real-world applications continue to be the subject of debate. Understanding the technologies, effects on humans, known ownership by governments, and the motivations behind their use on individuals requires careful analysis, research, and scrutiny.
As technology evolves, it is vital to navigate the ethical, legal, and humanitarian considerations associated with the development and use of DEWs. Responsible governance, transparency, and international cooperation are essential to ensure the responsible and ethical deployment of these technologies while safeguarding human rights and minimizing the potential risks they pose.
Gang Stalking is a controversial phenomenon in which individuals report being subjected to ongoing harassment and surveillance by organized groups. These individuals, referred to as Targeted Individuals (TIs), claim to experience a relentless campaign aimed at undermining their lives and well-being. In this article, we will delve into the details of gang stalking, its origins, the potential perpetrators, their motivations, and the legal recourse available to targeted individuals.
Understanding Gang Stalking
Gang stalking, also known as organized stalking, is the alleged systematic and coordinated harassment of individuals by a group of people. TIs describe a wide range of intrusive tactics employed against them, including stalking, surveillance, noise campaigns, gaslighting, vandalism, employment sabotage, and electronic harassment. The harassment is often relentless, causing significant psychological distress and social isolation for the targeted individuals.
Perpetrators of Gang Stalking
Identifying the precise perpetrators behind gang stalking is challenging due to the covert nature of these activities. TIs commonly believe that government agencies, intelligence organizations, secret societies, or powerful individuals are responsible for orchestrating the harassment campaigns. However, it is crucial to note that without concrete evidence, it is difficult to definitively attribute these activities to specific entities.
Origins and History of Gang Stalking
The exact origins of gang stalking are difficult to trace, as it emerged from various sources and experiences. Some argue that elements of gang stalking can be found in historical practices of harassment and surveillance employed by authoritarian regimes. The rise of modern communication technologies and the ability to coordinate actions online have contributed to the evolution and proliferation of gang stalking tactics.
Motivations of State Actors
The motivations driving state actors to participate in gang stalking campaigns can vary, and specific reasons may differ depending on the context. Some potential motivations include:
Suppression of Dissent: State actors may target individuals who challenge their authority, expose government corruption, or advocate for human rights. By subjecting them to gang stalking, state actors aim to silence opposition and deter others from engaging in similar activities.
Covert Intelligence Gathering: State actors may perceive targeted individuals as potential sources of sensitive information or connections to dissident networks. Gang stalking can serve as a means to gather intelligence or monitor the activities of these individuals.
Control and Intimidation: Engaging in gang stalking allows state actors to exert control over individuals and create an atmosphere of fear within society. By subjecting targeted individuals to constant harassment, state actors aim to intimidate and discourage dissent or activism.
Legal Recourse for Targeted Individuals
Seeking legal recourse can be a complex process for targeted individuals experiencing gang stalking. Laws governing such cases vary across jurisdictions, and specific legislation targeting gang stalking may be limited. However, depending on the nature of the harassment, victims may consider the following legal avenues:
Restraining Orders: Targeted individuals can seek restraining orders or protection orders against individuals involved in the harassment. These orders aim to restrict the contact and proximity of the perpetrators, offering some level of legal protection.
Stalking Laws: Existing stalking laws may provide a legal framework for targeted individuals to pursue legal action against their harassers. These laws vary by jurisdiction and typically require evidence of repeated unwanted behavior causing fear or distress.
Privacy and Surveillance Laws: If electronic surveillance or other privacy violations are involved in gang stalking, targeted individuals may explore legal remedies under existing privacy laws or legislation specific to surveillance practices.
Conclusion
Gang stalking remains a highly controversial and complex phenomenon, with targeted individuals reporting ongoing harassment, surveillance, and psychological distress. While the origins and perpetrators of gang stalking are difficult to pinpoint definitively, understanding the motivations and potential legal recourse is essential.
To address the concerns raised by targeted individuals, it is crucial for legal systems, human rights organizations, and mental health professionals to carefully examine and investigate these cases. Establishing a balanced approach that respects the rights and well-being of individuals while addressing potential threats to security and public order is key to navigating the challenges associated with gang stalking.
The phenomenon of targeted individuals (TIs) alleging state-sponsored torture and harassment has sparked intense debate and raised questions about the motivations behind such actions. While the existence and veracity of these claims remain controversial, it is important to examine some possible reasons that could drive state players to target individuals for torture.
Suppression of Dissent
One plausible motive for state-sponsored targeting is the suppression of dissenting voices. Individuals who challenge or criticize the government’s policies, expose corruption, or advocate for human rights may become targets. By subjecting them to torture, state players aim to silence these individuals, deter others from speaking out, and maintain control over the narrative.
Political Control and Intimidation
State players may resort to targeted torture as a means of political control and intimidation. By inflicting physical and psychological harm, they instill fear and create a climate of terror within society. This strategy seeks to discourage opposition, stifle activism, and consolidate power by showcasing the state’s dominance over individuals.
Gathering Intelligence and Coercion
Torture of targeted individuals could serve as a means of extracting information or coercing compliance. State players may perceive these individuals as potential sources of sensitive information, connections to underground networks, or key figures in dissident movements. By subjecting them to torture, state actors aim to extract desired information or force compliance with their demands.
Covering up State Secrets
Individuals who possess knowledge of state secrets or have witnessed illegal activities may be targeted to prevent the exposure of sensitive information. By subjecting them to torture, state players attempt to extract confessions, silence potential whistleblowers, or ensure the suppression of evidence that could be damaging to the state’s reputation or security.
Social and Political Marginalization
Targeting individuals for torture may be a way to marginalize and isolate certain groups within society. This could include ethnic or religious minorities, human rights activists, or individuals advocating for social change. By subjecting them to torture, state players aim to discourage their involvement in public affairs, undermine their credibility, and further marginalize these groups.
Conclusion
While the motivations behind state-sponsored targeting of individuals for torture remain complex and multifaceted, it is crucial to acknowledge the potential reasons that could drive such actions. Suppression of dissent, political control, intelligence gathering, covering up state secrets, and social marginalization are among the possible factors that contribute to this phenomenon.
Understanding these motivations requires careful examination, investigation, and analysis by human rights organizations, researchers, and legal institutions. By shedding light on these issues, society can work towards safeguarding the rights and well-being of individuals, promoting transparency, and fostering a culture of respect for human dignity.
The video explores the possibility of a collapse of the United States, citing concerns over lack of trust in government, partisan gridlock, and the perception of widespread corruption.
The author discusses the weaknesses in the American system of representative government, including challenges in finding and verifying quality information, political schemas becoming entangled with self-identity, and a polarized population susceptible to propaganda.
The role of media, public relations, and propaganda in shaping American perspectives is also examined, and a proposed solution by Walter Lippmann to form a tax-funded intelligence bureau is discussed.
Ultimately, the video emphasizes the need for a “crucial core” in self-government to prevent the collapse of the United States and invites viewers to contemplate a post-collapse world if nothing changes.
00:00:00
In this section, the host poses the question of whether the United States will collapse, citing concerns over lack of trust in government, partisan gridlock, and the perception of widespread corruption.
He goes on to discuss how disillusionment and polarization have become the best predictors for authoritarian takeover, and how this could lead to anarchy or tyranny in the most armed nation on earth, potentially impacting the entire world.
The host then introduces his special guest, Walter Lippmann, a 20th-century journalist and propagandist, who wrote a book called Public Opinion, which highlighted a deeper problem with the American system of representative government.
Lippmann argued that there was a weakness in how power and information flowed through the system, with sovereignty resting in the hands of individual citizens who delegate that power through elections and public opinion. The core idea behind this system was considered radical and experimental at the time of the nation’s founding, and has been subject to challenges and concerns over the years.
00:05:00
In this section, the author discusses how the initial design of the United States relied on individual self-interest being directed towards the public good. However, this design assumed that citizens would only elevate the most competent amongst them and that politicians would heed public opinion.
These assumptions have become vulnerable points of weakness as the nation has grown in size and complexity. Furthermore, the author illustrates how complicated it is for an individual to become fully informed on every issue of the day, using the example of a major tech company’s announcement of creating the world’s first general artificial intelligence.
The video states that modern-day forces, such as destructive propaganda, incoherent policy making and an overreliance on the manufacturing of consent and distractions, are inflaming these weaknesses, making the entire nation susceptible to crisis.

In this section, the challenges of finding and verifying quality information are discussed. The example of Clyde, who has limited resources and time for research is given, which highlights the issue of information overload and distractions that hinder thorough research.
The general population’s ignorance about political issues, and their own ignorance, are pointed out, and Lippmann’s concept of the “stereotype” is introduced as being at the core of political beliefs.
Lippmann believed that people were not discussing political differences rationally, creating a dangerous vulnerability. The importance of intellectual humility, the vast scale of topics, and the need for a variety of quality sources in research are emphasized.
00:15:00
In this section, the video explains the concept of schemas and how they play a role in shaping beliefs and behavior. Schemas are mental frameworks that humans develop to organize and navigate the vast amount of information and memories they encounter throughout their lives.
These schemas can be influenced by past experiences, media, and other factors, and can lead to oversimplifications or inaccurate beliefs about the world. While schemas can be useful in making quick decisions, they can also lead to a confirmation bias where individuals only notice things that reinforce their existing beliefs and ignore contradictory evidence.
Schemas can change over time, but this process can be slow and difficult, especially for complex and abstract beliefs like political opinions.
00:20:00
In this section, the author explains how political schemas often become entangled with one’s self-identity, giving the impression that they are the kind of person who believes certain things and not others.
This self-reinforcing web of belief makes it difficult to engage with evidence or ideas that conflict with one’s beliefs. Political partisans are more likely to make logical mistakes, jump to conclusions, and bend evidence to fit their worldview.
To reduce the detrimental impact of ideological bias, individuals ought to be self-aware and humble enough to know that their thinking is always at risk of these distortions and form a new super schema that connects their identity to this awareness.
The author notes, however, that fostering a political culture that values intellectual humility is unlikely in the United States due to the cultural dogma of the innately rational citizenry combined with the intellectual arrogance and fanatical certainty of political partisans.
00:25:00
In this section, the video explores how a polarized population with unchanging beliefs and rooted in tribalism is susceptible to propaganda. A few tools for self-government to navigate disagreement include persuasion, compromise or bargain, ignoring, or forming a consensus.
If you believe the opposition is insane or evil, then these tools are off the table. The news media is another major player, which often fails in its responsibilities due to its fragmented and sensationalized business model.
True investigative journalism requires a huge investment, but most Americans expect news for free which, in turn, leads to an over-reliance on advertising, sensational content, and click-bait titles that may not always align with the reality of the situation.
00:30:00
In this section, the video focuses on the role of media, public relations, and propaganda in shaping the American perspective. The media landscape is highly polarized and it’s nearly impossible for citizens to have a comprehensive and unbiased view of any issue.
Rather than focusing on accuracy, news media companies prioritize fulfilling their audience’s demand for preconceived ideas to maintain their business models. This gives an opportunity for anyone with enough resources to exploit this weakness towards external and internal threats. The video also details how the emergence of public relations added a new player in the information ecosystem of a democracy, which reshaped public opinion by planting stories, creating artificial events, or even paying people to promote products or ideas.
The combination of radio, film, and PR created a powerful force, but the Internet has become an influencing machine of unmatched power in history, making PR’s presence in American life so common that it is rarely reported or thought about.
00:35:00
In this section, the author highlights the power of public relations and PR agents in shaping information, both online and in political discourse. With the decline of traditional news sources, journalists have become more reliant on PR agents for news, and with the rise of social media, it is easier than ever to sway public opinion on a large scale.
Meanwhile, an idealistic politician faces two scenarios: ignoring public opinion and following their own agenda, potentially leading to manipulation and propaganda, or following public opinion that is influenced by PR agents and their clients, resulting in a lack of coherent policies. Ultimately, the increasing complexity of modern problems and the struggle to solve them can lead to a sense of helplessness among citizens, allowing undemocratic influence to flourish.
00:40:00
In this section, the focus is on the proposed solution by Walter Lippmann, who suggested forming a tax-funded intelligence bureau to assemble experts on national issues to provide an analysis of problems and potential solutions in a digestible report to the public.
However, the solution is now deemed too naive, considering the possibility that the institution may become corrupt over time. While there are institutions in the US that aim to provide knowledge to the people, these have been criticized due to their failures and deceptions, with the entire collection often labeled as “the Deep State.”
To address this, the essential core needs to be developed in the public, which includes the mental tools to audit their own beliefs and schemas, the ability to debate ideas with others, demand accuracy in information sources, and track policy issues over time without falling victim to counter-messaging. While not all people have these ideals, the development of the essential core is crucial to overcome America’s core vulnerability.
00:45:00
In this section, the speaker emphasizes the need for a crucial core in self-government to prevent the collapse of the United States. He acknowledges that the current situation is an active experiment in real-time, but believes that exploring steps towards strengthening this core may prevent decline and destruction.
The speaker concludes by saying that if nothing changes, he fears the collapse of the United States and invites the viewer to join him in contemplating a post-collapse world.
The video is an interview with Carl Sagan, a renowned astronomer and science educator, about the importance of science and the dangers of pseudoscience and superstition. He discusses his latest book, “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark“, which explores the growing fascination in the United States with pseudoscientific and supernatural beliefs that threaten to undermine true science.
Carl Sagan argues that scientific literacy is crucial in a society based on science and technology, and that without it, we risk a combustible mixture of ignorance and power that could have disastrous consequences. He also criticizes the lack of scientific education in politics and the government, as well as the influence of religion on scientific issues.
Sagan discusses the work of Dr. John Mack, a psychiatrist who believed in the reality of UFO abductions, and expresses his skepticism towards Mack and other belief systems that lack adequate evidence.
Lastly, Sagan briefly touches on the possibility of unknown species or animals, such as the Loch Ness Monster, but emphasizes the need for rigorous scientific evidence before accepting such claims.
This is the full interview of Carl Sagan’s last appearance on the Charlie Rose show. Sagan’s expertise as an astronomer shines through as he stresses the importance of scientific thinking and an open-minded approach to the unknown. This interview provides a valuable insight into Sagan’s views on science and society, making it a must-watch for those interested in these topics.

Carl Sagan Quotes
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply to painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
~ Carl Sagan
In the given context information, Carl Sagan is discussing his concerns about the growing fascination with pseudoscience, superstitions, and fundamentalist zealotry, which he believes threatens to undermine true science. He argues that in a society based on science and technology, it is crucial for the general public to understand it and ask skeptical questions to avoid being taken advantage of by charlatans who use emotional force and belief in the absence of evidence to manipulate people.
The quote highlights one of the saddest lessons of history, which is that once people have been bamboozled or deceived for a long enough time, they tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle and become captured by it. They are no longer interested in finding out the truth and acknowledging that they have been taken. This gives charlatans or those who use emotional force and manipulation power over people, which is difficult to regain once lost.
Sagan’s point seems to be that people must be vigilant about critical thinking and questioning in all aspects of life, especially with scientific claims, to avoid being gullible and susceptible to manipulation. It is essential to acknowledge the limitations of human knowledge and to seek evidence to support claims, rather than relying solely on belief or emotion. Failure to do so can lead to misguided decisions, both personal and societal, with long-term consequences.
“Better by far, to embrace a hard truth than a reassuring fable.”
~ Carl Sagan
In this quote, Carl Sagan is emphasizing the importance of accepting scientific evidence and knowledge that may be difficult to acknowledge rather than believing in comforting but baseless beliefs. He argues that rejecting evidence in favor of belief can be harmful, especially when it comes to decision making about societal issues that are based on science and technology.
Sagan sees science not just as a collection of established facts, but also as a way of thinking skeptically, asking questions, and accommodating to the universe’s reality rather than clinging to false beliefs.
He also warns against the danger of religious literalism, which can lead to ignoring scientific evidence in favor of dogmatic adherence to faith-based beliefs.
In this context, Sagan urges people to prioritize evidence-based hard truths over comforting but unsupported fables in order to make informed decisions and better understand the universe.

The image of a Bitcoin pacman devouring the symbols of the world’s largest currencies is a powerful symbol of the growing dominance of cryptocurrencies over traditional fiat currencies. The image captures the essence of the battle that is currently being waged between these two forms of currency, with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies gaining ground and threatening to overtake traditional currencies.
Bitcoin, the world’s largest and most popular cryptocurrency, has been steadily gaining in popularity over the past few years, with more and more people turning to it as a safe and reliable alternative to traditional currencies. The rise of Bitcoin has been fueled by a number of factors, including the growing mistrust of traditional financial institutions, the increasing popularity of peer-to-peer payment systems, and the growing awareness of the benefits of digital currencies.
One of the key advantages of Bitcoin is its security and transparency. Unlike traditional currencies, which are controlled by central banks and subject to manipulation and interference, Bitcoin is decentralized and operates on a peer-to-peer network. This means that transactions are transparent and secure, with no central authority controlling the flow of currency.
Another advantage of Bitcoin is its ease of use and accessibility. Unlike traditional currencies, which can be difficult to obtain and use in some parts of the world, Bitcoin can be easily acquired and used by anyone with an internet connection. This makes it an ideal currency for people living in countries with unstable or unreliable financial systems, or for people who want to make international transactions without having to deal with the high fees and restrictions imposed by traditional financial institutions.
The rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has not gone unnoticed by governments and financial institutions around the world. Some have embraced the new technology, recognizing the potential benefits it can offer, while others have sought to restrict or regulate its use. However, the growing popularity and acceptance of Bitcoin suggest that it is only a matter of time before it becomes a mainstream currency, and one that could potentially replace traditional fiat currencies altogether.
The image of a Bitcoin sticker on a bathroom stall in Italy with the text “Inflation Is Theft” is a stark reminder of the dangers of inflation and the value of a decentralized currency like Bitcoin. Inflation, which is the decrease in the purchasing power of money over time, can have serious consequences for individuals and the economy as a whole.
Inflation is often caused by the printing of too much money by central banks, which can lead to a decrease in the value of the currency and a rise in prices. This can make it difficult for individuals and businesses to plan for the future, as the value of their money is constantly decreasing. Inflation can also lead to a decrease in the standard of living for people on fixed incomes, such as retirees or those living on government assistance.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a decentralized currency that is not subject to the whims of central banks or governments. Its value is determined by the market and the laws of supply and demand, rather than by the printing of more currency. This means that Bitcoin is not subject to inflation in the same way that traditional currencies are, making it a potentially valuable hedge against inflation.
The “Inflation Is Theft” message on the Bitcoin sticker in the bathroom stall is a powerful reminder that inflation can have serious consequences for individuals and society as a whole. By choosing to use a decentralized currency like Bitcoin, individuals can protect themselves against the harmful effects of inflation and take control of their own financial future.
