Stop Drinking the Political Kool-Aid, America: Voting Will Not Save Us
John Whitehead
“We’ve got to face it. Politics have entered a new stage, the television stage. Instead of long-winded public debates, the people want capsule slogans—‘Time for a change’—‘The mess in Washington’—‘More bang for a buck’—punch lines and glamour.”
A Face in the Crowd (1957)
We are one year out from the 2024 presidential election and as usual, the American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us.

Gods of Their Own Religion – REVIEW
Joanna Sharp
How do free spirits endure a tyrannical technocratic order? Do they succumb to endless rules, or do they keep doing their own thing? And what is the spiritual price of totalitarianism?
These are the questions which seem to be guiding Gods of Their Own Religion, a dystopian movie written and directed by Naeem Mahmood, an award-winning film director whose previous work includes Brash Young Turks (2015), Gangster Kittens (2016), In2ruders (2018) and Queen of Diamonds (Short 2019).
Inspired by and shot during the 2020 lockdowns, the film depicts a group of young, disobedient London urbanites…...

UN & Bill Gates Launch “50in5” Global Digital Infrastructure Plans
Kit Knightly
Last week the United Nations Development Program officially launched their new initiative promoting “Digital Public Infrastructure” (DPI) around the world.
The “50in5” program – so-called because it aims to introduce DPI in fifty countries in the next five years – began with a live-streamed event on November 8th.
For those of you unsure what “Digital Public Infrastructure” is, the 50in5 website is quite clear:

Paisley Tablecloths
Sylvia Shawcross
In late autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere when the wind picks up it is as if the forests themselves are trembling with impending cold. The mostly now yellow leaves colour the sky itself behind them a tinged ochre between branches. There is snow. Just a touch.
Just enough to wash out the ground like the bleeding of a watercolour painting in the wet. If you squint enough just before dusk you can feel yourself drifting into a painting, a Seurat perhaps or a Turner, the impressions of a place and time set apart from the everyday.…...

Nobody wants global governance and certainly not global governance led by a violent unipolar regime like the US led hegemony. So to get you to buy into global governance you are being offered the fluffy, multipolar version. Digital slavery will be so much nicer that way. https://twitter.com/i/status/1725416643822539171

The Greatest Threat to World Peace? A Review of Daniele Ganser’s ‘USA: The Ruthless Empire’
Marilyn Langlois, via the International Center for 9/11 Justice
If you regard the United States as perhaps flawed but overall a force for good in the world…

Have We Lost the Ability to Fall in Love?
Todd Hayen
I really need everyone’s input on this one because it does scare me if it is true. And I am curious if my own anecdotal experience with this carries any weight. I see a lot of people in my practice, and a lot of them are young. I must say most of these young ones are young men, so maybe my observation is skewed, but the stories they relate to me makes me ask the question: have we lost the ability to fall in love?

The Great Reset: Biopolitics for Stakeholder Capitalism — Book Launch
When the restrictions under which we lived for two years were largely revoked in March 2022, the Great Reset of Western capitalism that was initiated in September 2019 was not revoked with them. On the contrary, the temporary removal of our rights and freedoms under lockdown is in the process of being made permanent in a renewed and concerted attack on Western democracy.
As it was in the first phase of the Great Reset, this is being perpetrated by unaccountable transnational technocracies which, on the justification of responding to numerous manufactured ‘crises’ (health, energy, environmental, geopolitical), have elected themselves…...

How the US Government Buys and Sells Its Citizens for Profit and Power
John Whitehead
Americans have become easy prey for hackers, scammers, snitches, spies, and con artists.
But don’t be fooled into thinking the government is protecting you.
To the contrary, the U.S. government is selling us (or rather, our data) to the highest bidders.
By the way, those highest bidders also include America’s political class and the politicians aspiring to get elected or re-elected. As the Los Angeles Times reports, “If you have been to a political rally, a town hall, or just fit a demographic a campaign is after, chances are good your movements are being…...

It is not an inquiry and everything discussed was propaganda. It is a charade selling a lie because the "pseudopandemic" was a complete fabrication.

Seriously, this is interfering with both my social and professional life. I need to get my hate up somehow. I’ve tried everything I could possibly think of.

JFK 60 Years On – Inside OffG’s Archive

Today marks 60 years since the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, and the last of any worth or note.
There is the expected flow of official story reinforcement, a dabble of sentiment, a little bit of “new evidence” which handily backs up the Warren findings.
Alt-media channels were even subject to it, with one “red pill” going around claiming “Oswald’s handler” was an Israeli and Jack Ruby was Jewish, which means Israel killed Kennedy. Factless nonsense, seeking to both reinforce the lie that Oswald was the shooter and tar JFK truthers…...

It is said that an entire generation of young men from the Ukraine are gone now. They have died in the war.
Now, I thought the war in the Ukraine was the “War for Civilization Itself.” We sent them tons of money to preserve democracy and all that. We waved our blue and yellow flags and wept over the plight of the Ukrainians knowing we had to save the free world from that evil Russia.
I guess that didn’t much work out? Or what?…...
