I am a concerned Senior Citizen and I am fully aware I come
across as a disgruntled curmudgeon in my outlook of today’s current society. My
reasoning is largely due to a sense of evaporating Liberty and Bible-based
morals I experienced in younger days.
AND SO, I grouse on.
Today’s sharing largely confirms the societal evaporation
that only an awakening youth might resist and reverse. Will I live to see such
an awakening? Currently I have my doubts, but I do have seeds of hope. Seeds I
pray grow roots and sprout crops of faith driven by confidence in God’s Word
above the agenda of human Elitists trying to elevate a select few to a transhumanist
blasphemous godhood.
So, consider this information which I am certain
Globalist-Elitists rather you not dwell on. WHY? Simply because the Elitists
fear an awakening that throws the proverbial monkey wrench into the
machinations of an agenda NOT favorable for most of humanity.

AND I leave you with an awakened choice of activism. I pray
I am wrong about America’s upcoming Election 2024. If the election cycles of
2020 (THE DEM-MARXIST COUP) and 2022 are any indicator, massive fraud and voter
manipulation will perpetuate a growing Globalist tyranny. AND you can toss in
seemingly perpetual LAWFARE against the legitimately 2020 elected Donald Trump
to prevent a potential reelection as another indicator. [As an aside: If
Trump pulls off a GOP nomination even under the intense political persecution,
I’ll be voting for him. BUT I DO HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM with President Trump’s
idiotic support with (as far as I’m concerned PROVEN) unsafe and
ineffective mRNA Jab. The whole ordeal of government science lies STILL going
on with mRNA has essentially turned me into an anti-vaxxer. If the government
lies about mRNA, what else about vaccinations have they lied about.]
With the existence of a corrupt government, it’s time think

Report: UN ‘Pact For The Future’ Seeks Permanent
Emergency Powers For ‘Complex Global Shocks’:
Any new major event will see globalists attempt to take complete control

The UN is set to outline a far reaching plan to secure
emergency powers that would allow the global body to lead a “common agenda” for
all nations during any “complex global shocks” such as a new pandemic.
The
Federalist reports that the plan is to be finalised at a
September 2024 ‘Summit of the Future,’ where the UN will adopt a ‘Pact for the
Future,’ to include policies that have been outlined in the
globalist body’s ‘Our
Common Agenda’ report.
One such policy is an “emergency platform” during any
events that have a global impact that would provide the UN the authority to
“actively promote and drive an international response that places the
principles of equity and solidarity at the centre of its work.”
Meanwhile:
— IT Guy (@ITGuy1959) July 4, 2023
“..the United Nations would be given unprecedented authority over the public and private sectors of huge swaths of the world, all in the name of battling a yet unknown crisis.”
What could possibly go wrong?https://t.co/fCGcTcrTsO
The report notes that some details of the emergency platform
were outlined in a paper
from March with the UN secretary-general declaring “I
propose that the General Assembly provide the Secretary-General and the United
Nations system with a standing authority to convene and operationalize
automatically an Emergency Platform in the event of a future complex global
shock of sufficient scale, severity and reach.”
The paper gives several examples of what could trigger the
emergency authority, including “major climatic event,” “future pandemic risks,”
a “global digital connectivity disruption,” “major event in outer space,” and
generic “unforeseen risks, (‘black swan’ events).”
It goes on to suggest that the UN would have the power to
oversee the “stakeholders” of the world, including academics, governments,
private sector actors, and “international financial institutions” to ensure
there is a unified, global response to whatever crisis is declared.
The paper further suggests that such authority would “Ensure
that all participating actors make commitments that can contribute meaningfully
to the response and that they are held to account for delivery on those
commitments.”
It also states that while the emergency authority would have
an initial finite lifespan, the UN would be able to extend it indefinitely if
it saw fit to do so.
The Federalist report notes that the Biden Administration
has backed
the proposal on multiple occasions, prompting reporter Justin
Haskins to warn that “If the emergency platform is approved, the United
States as we know it could cease to exist.”
I’ve read of this before, and it’s alarming. The US would relinquish its sovereignty. This must not happen. Americans WILL lose their freedom. The pushback to stop it should be intense

In a recent Time Magazine article, Ray Dalio of Bridgewater
Associates hedge funds warned that the world is on the brink of disaster. He
came to this conclusion based on current events that haven’t happened since the
nineteen thirties. The largest amounts of debt and inflation. The biggest gaps
in wealth and values resulting in the rise of populism on both the left and the
right against the elites. And the greatest international conflict between world
powers, most importantly between the U.S. and China.
Peter Onge writes that
the easy way out of this mess would be for the elite to proactively shrink in
scope. Get government out of the economy, out of social engineering, and out of
propagandizing kids. But of course, this won’t happen.
Common sense and simple observation will tell you that the
so-called elites will continue on their path towards economic destruction and
world war. Which is likely what the international bankers had planned all
along. Let us not forget that the fast-growing BRICS monetary system was born
in 2001 out of Goldman Sachs.
In 1971, President Nixon officially ended the Gold Standard
and replaced it with the petrodollar in which OPEC agreed to price their oil in
US dollars in exchange for US military protection. This blood money deal
preserved US control over the world economy. But when the US weaponized the
SWIFT payment system against Russia, BRICS became the only viable solution for
the rest of the world.
Reuters in New Delhi reported that last May, the State Bank
of India rejected Indian Oil Corp's planned payment in US dollars for Russian
oil. And so they went to a private bank and settled their trade for Russian oil
by paying in yuan to the Bank of China. And have continued to do so since.
A shortage of US dollars in Argentina has caused commercial
banks to allow the Chinese yuan as a form of currency in savings and checking
accounts. Argentina has already been issuing securities in the Chinese yuan and
has made a two-point-seven billion dollar payment to the International Monetary
Fund using the Chinese BRICS currency.
The Federal Reserve Bank’s FedNow is scheduled for launch by
the end of July. FedNow is officially an update to the Federal Reserve’s
payment processing and settlement system. And appears to be a backdoor to
creating a Central Bank Digital Currency. Private blockchain operator Tassat
has partnered with the Federal Reserve’s new payment system and will serve as
an interface for FedNow.
FedNow will also connect with Metal Blockchain, whose CEO
and founder claims will allow banks to prepare for an eventual central bank
digital currency, along with bank-issued stablecoins.
The idea of a Central Band Digital Currency is already
hugely unpopular with the majority of Americans. But according to Dale Houser,
it is being set up to destroy alternative blockchain solutions such as Ripple
and Stellar. And if the powers that be are successful in destroying the US
economy, then the only other option to accepting a CBDC would be some sort of
revolution. Which would be nearly impossible seeing as how divided the populist
movement is within the left/right paradigm.
Last week in China, the World Economic Forum proclaimed that
the entire world needs to switch to a Central Bank Digital Currency with expiry
dates and restrictions on undesirable purchases. They proposed using artificial
intelligence to censor hate speech and disinformation on the internet. And
using artificial intelligence to control a global social credit system that
will involve wearable devices with sensors to monitor everyone’s actions.
If we the people fail to unite against the powers that be,
then their solution will most certainly be world war, depopulation, and total
control. And this is all happening right now.

Rebellion, Not Retreat:
Blueprints for flourishing in the midst of a decaying

The American Mind Editors’ Note: The following is
adapted from the author’s remarks at a panel presented by the Ethics and Public
Policy Center.
Fran Maier is right that
we are now at a hinge in history—the end of an age and the beginning of
something new. Anyone who thinks he or she knows exactly what will emerge next
is probably wrong. Whatever is coming next, it will be a very different world
from the one we’ve inhabited since World War II. I am quite certain that many
things will get worse before they get better. Our societal
institutions—governmental, educational, communications, media, medical, public
health, etc.—have failed us. The degree of rot in these institutions makes
reform or repair, in the short term at least, impractical.
I believe our task is analogous to that undertaken by the
Czech dissidents of the Soviet era. Many of us are familiar with Vaclav Havel,
who became the first president of the Czech Republic after the fall of
Communism and wrote the now classic essay, “The Power of the Powerless.” Maier
mentions another Vaclav: a close friend and collaborator of Havel, Vaclav Benda
is less well-known but no less important. In contrast to Havel, Benda was a
faithful Catholic and remained grounded in his Christian convictions as he
faced the challenges of his time and place.
Some readers will doubtless wonder whether the historical
analogy to a communist totalitarian regime might not be a bit overblown. Things
may be bad, but they surely cannot be that bad. But consider,
as Eric Voegelin taught us, that the common feature of all totalitarian systems
is neither concentration camps, nor secret police, nor mass surveillance—as
horrifying as all these are. The common feature of all totalitarian systems is
the prohibition of questions: every totalitarian regime first monopolizes what
counts as rationality and determines what questions you are allowed to ask.
At the risk of offending my audience I will suggest: if you
don’t see that precisely this is happening on an unprecedented scale globally,
you have not been paying close attention. If you still remain skeptical,
consider Polish philosopher Leszek Kolakowski’s brilliant formulation to describe the
totalitarian method of imposing unity on an entire population: perfect
integration through perfect fragmentation. Mull over this phrase while you
watch T.V. or scroll social media: perfect integration through perfect
fragmentation.
In the Czech context of the 1970s and 1980s, as Professor F.
Flagg Taylor writes, “[Vaclav] Benda saw that the Communist regime either
sought to infiltrate and co-opt independent social structures for its own
purposes, or to de-legitimate and destroy them. It sought to maintain a
populace of isolated individuals without any habits or desires for
association.” In other words, as he put it, the Iron Curtain had not just
descended between East and West, but between one individual and another, or
even between an individual’s own body and his soul.
Benda recognized that any hopes for the regime’s fundamental
reform or even moderation were futile. It was time to ignore the regime’s
official structures and build new ones where human community could be
rediscovered and human life could be lived decently. Benda proposed building
new small-scale institutions of civil society—in education and family, in
productivity and market exchange, in media and communications, literature and
the arts, entertainment and culture, and so on—what Benda called “The Parallel
Polis” (1978).
He described this idea as follows: “I suggest that we join
forces in creating, slowly but surely, parallel structures that are capable, to
a limited degree at least, of supplementing the generally beneficial and
necessary functions that are missing in the existing structures, and where
possible, to use those existing structures, to humanize them.” And he clarified
that this strategy “need not lead to a direct conflict with the regime, yet it
harbors no illusions that ‘cosmetic changes’ can make any difference.” Benda
explained:
In concrete terms this means
taking over for the use of the parallel polis every space that the state has
temporarily abandoned or which it has never occurred to it to occupy in the
first place. It means winning over for the support of common aims…everything
alive in society and its culture in the broadest sense of the word. It means
winning over anything that has managed somehow to survive the disfavor of the
times (e.g., the Church) or that was able, despite unfavorable times, to come
into being.
The parallel polis is not, Benda emphasized, a ghetto or
an underground; it is not a black-market system hiding in the
shadows. As the word polis suggests, the purpose of these
institutions was to eventually renew the wider society, not to retreat from it
entirely. “The strategic aim of the parallel polis,” Benda wrote, “should be
the growth, or the renewal, of civic and political culture—and along with it,
an identical structuring of society, creating bonds of responsibility and
fellow-feeling.”
Benda acknowledged that every institution of the parallel
polis was a David facing the Goliath of a massively powerful totalitarian
state. Any one or another of these institutions could be crushed by the state
machinery if the state specifically targeted it for liquidation. The task,
therefore, was to create so many of these parallel structures and institutions
that the corrupt state would finally be limited in its reach: while it could
crush any one institution at any time, there would eventually be too many such
institutions for the state to target them all simultaneously. Elements of the
parallel polis would always survive: as the state crushed one institution, two
others would arise elsewhere.
Plan of Action
The parallel polis requires a deliberate strategy: it does
not develop automatically. As Benda proposed in his own day, I am convinced it
is time to build these new parallel institutions of civil society. We need to
be thinking in 50-year increments. This means planting mustard seeds that may
not fully germinate in our lifetimes. I suggest that today’s Parallel Polis
should be grounded in three principles:
Sovereignty, Solidarity, Subsidiarity. [Blog
Editor Bold Text Emphasis] I will conclude with five brief points to
illustrate the application of these principles in our current moment. (I am
simply going to state these points, since time does not allow me to argue for
or explain each one.)
First: governments during COVID demanded we become
disempowered and isolated. People globally ceded their sovereignty and
abandoned social solidarity. By contrast, the new parallel institutions of
civil society must return sovereignty to individuals, families, and communities
and strengthen social solidarity.
Second: markets, communications, and governing
structures have become increasingly centralized at a national and global level,
robbing individuals, families, and local communities of legitimate authority,
privacy, and freedom. Thus, the new institutions must be grounded in
technologies and models of decentralized communications, information sharing,
authority, and markets of productivity and exchange.
Third: individuals, families, and local communities
especially have been robbed of their legitimate authority and targeted. To
rectify this, the new institutions must support the principle of subsidiarity
and empower practical efforts at the local level.
Fourth: fear has been weaponized to coerce
individuals, families, and communities to cede their sovereignty and even make
them forget they once had it. To help individuals, families, and small
communities reclaim their sovereignty—their ability to self-govern—we must help
people overcome their fear and find their courage.
Fifth, with the rollout of new mechanisms of social
surveillance and control—the biosecurity model of governance, biometric digital
IDs, Central Bank Digital Currencies, surveillance capitalism, and so on—the
temporal window to reclaim solidarity and regain sovereignty is closing fast.
Therefore, the time to begin is now.
