All Language Is Spellcasting
[In response to Chewsday Memes, Aug 27 by
]
I think they missed the mark.
Language is spellcasting. Not just legalese. All language.
We speak our thoughts into being.
We manifest our thoughts.
Everything we accomplish comes from a thought we needed to convey through some type of language in order to reach the end goal.
The inaccessibility of legal language is a manipulation tactic.
Either you won’t understand what you’re agreeing to due to the inaccessibility of the language used or, often, the language has been crafted in a manner which manufactures loopholes to be exploited at a later date.
All U.S. Presidents Are Descendants of Eleanor of Aquitaine
[In response to Vote: How Much of a Slave Do You Want to Be? by
]
All presidents and mainstream competitors are cousins. They all go back to Eleanor of Aquitaine. She brought back courtly love/hieros gamos. My own gut feeling - we're a covert rotating monarchy.
People's revolution has always been a ruse. Even here it was a ruse. If we can trust any of our pre-1900 history at all, Britain might have gotten ahead of it after seeing the writing on the wall and installed a rotating monarchy. All of the presidents and their mainstream competitors without exception up until now have been cousins with ties to the monarchy.
All of them are connected back to the same family, yes, but it's not the way that people say it is. It's a little bit different.
There was a science fair project done by a little girl, 13 years old. I think this was during the Obama administration. She did this science fair project with her grandfather. They were looking into lineage. They traced all of the U.S. presidents back to the same British king, except for one who they traced back to being of French descent. That was Van Buren.
Farberov, S. (2012). Is ruling in the genes? All presidents bar one are directly descended from a medieval English king. Daily Mail UK.
What they failed to do was to look matrilineally. They were looking patrilineally, but had they gone back to Eleanor of Aquitaine. They are all descendants of Eleanor of Aquitaine. I had access to the family tree. So I was able to go there and look at all of this. And sure enough, they all go back to the same person.
Now, in Christianity, descent is patrilineal, so that's why they were thinking it would go back to a man. It doesn't go back to a man. It goes back to a woman. They want you to think they're doing patrilineage when they're not. They're doing matrilineage. And matrilineage would be like how in the tradition of the preceeding Abrahamic religion culture is centered around matrilineage. Then it shifted with Christianity and Catholicism into patrilineage for whatever reason. But, you know, in Judaism, bloodline passes from the mother.
But it's not really Judaism that it goes back to. It's the Malokian and Baal sects of religion. It has nothing to do with Judaism. There's a hidden sect within all other religions.
The elites worship the demiurge. And they convinced almost everyone else to worship the demiurge also in a backhanded way by subverting historical texts.
They are not the top of the food chain. And the families and the structures behind the elites are all factional. It's not one overarching group. It's a bunch of warring subgroups trying to maintain overall control over the other warring subgroups. If you think of it like all one group, it's not going to make any sense why they would need control. They aren't a singular group.
If you think of them as a single group, you can't see them warring and infighting amongst each other, vying for power. Which means their thirst for control will make no sense.
It's better to know how it functions and then choose your timeline based on knowing what they have concocted so you can navigate away from it.
They all connect back, and then we have to also consider the veracity of the records too, because past a certain point history might get doubled over. So we can take into account the work of Fomenko and other scholars who have found issues with the accepted historical timeline and see that what we have been taught might largely consist only of fabrications. Whether or not you believe in the specifics of that particular theory, our overall historical timeline objectively needs some serious work.
So while all of these people are related to the same family, they're descended from the same person, and we can perhaps (maybe not) account for the time period up until around when when Eleanor of Aquitaine was alive and and then a bit past there - Fomenko was saying something like 1100 BC - that's when it gets a bit foggy. You can't really figure much out past that point. Especially not when you take the past resets into account and all of the fuckery in the historical narrative propagated by both the ignorant and the malicious.
But I started to ask questions regarding continuity errors that I was seeing in “reality.”
Reality doesn't have continuity errors.
And I looked back to where Ratcliffe had said that the election had foreign interference and went from there. And at first, I didn't want to come out and say it, but it confirmed for me what I thought might be happening based on all of the weirdness I was seeing too.
Everything seemed staged.
And then sure enough, they were on a sound stage for quite a long time.
I think the military went into control past that point, given what I was seeing as far as things looking completely staged from a filmmaking perspective. Especially, to start off with, how staged the inauguration looked, and then past that point, and then into getting settled into the Oval Office.
The windows don't look right. Everything looks off. The room just looks crazy. The room looks off. It doesn't match up. It's not to scale. And then you'd see in certain parts, it would look like the oval office has set joints. Like corners, but like the corners were coming apart, like a set. It looked like a set.
So like there were all these weird things going on with it that started cataloging way back when.
It was not the same room. The scale is different. And the chair Biden was sitting in matches the chair on the Castle Rock set. The set pieces matched the set pieces in Culver City. And at the time, there was scaffolding up all around the perimeter of the Culver City sound stage so that people would think that construction was being done and no one could really get in or out.
After a while, they started only filming him in there at night so that you can't see past the windows to the parking lot that's behind it at the Castle Rock set. That's not what's behind it in DC. There's just trees and bushes and stuff - the yard. But you can see like the walls don't match, the windows don't match, none of it matches up. It's not the same at all.
The room he was sitting in on the bottom had single pane glass, not bulletproof glass.
So to me, with the bloodline thing, it's part of the way that people are chosen to be able to run, period, which would make sense why they were forcing Bernie out, because he wasn't part of that. But they couldn't force Trump out because he is. He has the same bloodline.
And all of that was going back to research that I had done in 2016 and 2017. So it wasn't even connected to this. I just knew it from before. So as I was looking at this other stuff, it was coloring my view of that. I felt like there was something going on here. That this is not correct.
All of this interlocks, none of it occurs in a vacuum. It's all part of the overarching story of humanity. And that story has holes because a great deal of it was suppressed/altered in prior resets.
I think we have cyclical resets and each time we get reset, they remove more of our tech and only dole back out to us what they can control us using. We have no idea how to conceptualize history anymore, so we here at Donkeys Inc. salute you.
We didn't evolve. We devolved. The cave story is a myth. We were better before. Every iteration of our crafts as you progress downward through the fossil layer is better the farther down you go, not worse. If we evolved, it would be worse.
We're devolving and those layers likely came from iterative mudfloods. In each iteration, more of our tech is taken away and then doled back out to us. But only the pieces that scarcity models can be created around, the pieces from which we cannot reverse engineer free energy or any of the architecture we had, which would also lead to reverse engineering free energy.
That's why tech transfers come from the OTT inside the Department of Energy. Energy is in charge because Energy is hiding energy tech, mainly.
Aristocrats of Merit
“I have been thinking for a while that we ought to each try to be an “aristocrat” of merit. As much as I am opposed to hereditary rule, the landed aristocracy did many good things, taught their children well, tried to make themselves cultured, tried to make themselves better, etc. There is value there.” -
Determining merit in ways where people do not have the power to sabotage each other out of envy would be key there.
Einstein would never submit his papers for peer review because he knew his "peers" were his competition.
Considering the reproducibility crisis, maybe that was smart.
Considering I believe he knew a lot of the work he was putting forward had deliberate holes in it to hide concepts from the public, maybe this was by design.
Either way, he was that smart.
“Yeah, all of that makes sense. But they also just taught their kids to sit up straight and to learn skills and read classic literature and generally to be more accomplished, etc. They took pride in themselves. The “we were born into this position” aspect was gross, but trying to actually be meritoriously worthy was a good goal.” -
We need to bring back a higher level of truth and merit in education, period. But most were poisoned and only exposed to indoctrination.
“The engagement on Substack is like no other platform. Gab's gone downhill, I post a funny meme there, I may get 1 like. I also have been at 1.9K subscribers for years. No love.” -
“That reminds me that I need to get rid of mine.” -
“I prob will soon too, once my 'Pro' ends that I paid for. Imagine that, paying to post memes instead of getting paid...” -
“I did the pro one year, just to support Gab when I thought it was going to be a legit free-speech alternative. What ended up putting me off was Torba’s emails that somehow kept managing to bring Jews into a lot of the points he was making. Jews Jews Jews. it’s always the Joooooooooooos. I could have accepted it if it was just the users. They were the first ones driven out, and it made sense that they would form a cell on a platform that did not censor. But when Torba himself got at it, I was like, ‘Okay, maybe the critics are not actually entirely wrong about this place.’” -
People are hating people who were used as a human shield for the people actually committing atrocities and have no clue how ignorant or unjust that is. Mind-blowing. But that's what a steady diet of propaganda on very limited education will do.
“Plus, blaming the Jews for everything seems to be a river that runs through the last 2,000 years of history. It’s always there. People dip a toe in, and the next thing you know, they are being swept away with the current.” -
It shows me who is thinking and who isn't. It's an immediate tell.
When people understand the nuance behind that psyop, I know they have a brain in their head.
It's a great litmus test.
From
:It is. But a lot of smart people are falling for this right now.
I think I know why it suddenly exploded on “our side.”
First, the right is becoming more isolationist and anti-war—returning the pre-WWII classical liberal roots. So, we are more likely to oppose war now.
Second, Ukraine really pushed that button hard. So people were ready to be skeptical of the next war.
Third, total lack of trust in the mainstream means ANY war that our overlords in the uniparty say is good is automatically bad.
Fourth, throw in general mistrust of the narrative, and
Fifth, increasing distrust of ANY strong state (e.g. Israel)
And you have a whole bunch of people who were primed to oppose Israel’s actions. And those people were vulnerable to then dipping a toe in the river.
And I guarantee most of them don’t know jack shit about the last 200 years of history in the region.
From the start of Zionism to the wars to today.
Ignorance. Flat out. The way they conceive of Judaism is similar to what I would sound like if I told a Christian, "Pentecostals and Lutherans are the same."
“Yeah, there’s that too.” -
It's at the heart of it. There is no true meaning derived from a foundation of misunderstood basic concepts. You can't build upon that.
“And they also don’t know that since Ashkenazi IQ is 15 points higher on average, there are a lot more Jewish geniuses. And that is why they are so overrepresented in all areas of achievement. Not a conspiracy. Just high IQ and a culture that values education.” -
Exactly. Average for us is skewed a standard deviation higher. Average is 117. But culturally, there is a bias toward choosing a mate based upon intelligence.
It's no wonder I was sapio without having a word for it and all my friends teased me because I didn't notice when "hot" people walked by.
I would look at them ogling people like they had lost their minds and say, "But you don't know if they're stupid. What if they speak and you just want them to shut up?" 🤣🤣🤣
“Two millennia of persecution in Europe led Jews to select for intelligence because intelligence, not strength, was how they survived that.” -
"Marry a doctah! Marry a lawyah!" It's thoroughly ingrained. To me, now, that sounds like, "Marry someone who excels at rote memorization." 🤮
“I think ‘Marry a doctah! Marry a lawyah!’ is just the last-stage variant of it. At some point, it was probably ‘Marry someone with the wit to navigate the complex societies of Europe in which we are always considered outsiders and suspect.’” -
Even in religion, it would have been ability to memorize texts that would have made a person stand out back then. And don't get me wrong - memory is important - but critical thinking is rarely encouraged within any system of indoctrination. And that would include all organized religions.
There are certain pockets of people who still encourage building the memory while also valuing critical thinking, intuition, and common sense (mainly derived through hands on, trial and error experience) - people need a balance of these to be wholly functional.
And going back to your original point of going back to the way aristocrats educate their own but skewing this toward merit, I believe this is wise.
“Yeah, memorization is very useful, but it mustn’t be all there is.” -
"Who does that?" If you only knew. Holy hell. The whole WORLD power structure is based around this exact premise: People PRETENDING to be people who they are NOT.
Biosurveillance Via Big Tech, DARPA, and the Internet of Bodies
This is important to understand. Thanks, Jordan Sather.
Also consider for added context that the head of Facebook’s F8 lab was Regina Dugan, the former head of DARPA, as well as the former head of Google’s ATAP.
Some of the projects that were were being researched in the F8 lab during her tenure include mind reading, typing with your mind, broadcasting to your skin, Facebook “vitamins,” and identifying people via their brain waves.
Notice the Meta logo is a bent 8 on its side, a nod to F8 which also resembles VR goggles, a Möbius strip, and the infinity symbol.
Biosurveillance has always been the name of the game, with the implementation of the Internet of Bodies as an infrastructural goal along the way.
What better way to launch a test run of the Internet of Bodies than to deliver everyone on the planet a Teslaphoretic injection that establishes the hardware upon which biosurveillance software will run?

Physicists Reveal The Role Of “Magic” In Quantum Computational Power

From
:Absolutely fascinating! Nice infographic, too. (Reminds me of the dancing 3D graphs obsessed over by the scientist in "Akira.") Thank you for sharing that.
Just got done reading the article, and I definitely want to read more about the notions of "dilution" and "distillation" as applied here.
Regardless, reminds me of Art's famous line sixty-some years ago now: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
And here we are: "Now." Where we always are haha. How long before they drop the scare quotes around "magic?" 🤖🧙♂️
I find myself saying this a lot lately, but there is just so much to unpack there that it's hard to even know where to start haha. Curious your thoughts on the article, as well!
It strikes me as a way of separating out what they are measuring to quantify jitter, which would be affected by measuring it anyway. And it's interesting that they are not equating scare-quotes-magic with consciousness when, if I had to guess, I would say that's likely what is propelling scare-quotes-magic - total amount of aggregate consciousness power applied to altering outcome.
From
:I feel similarly. Recently I've been wondering to what degree aggregate consciousness exists vis-a-vis a singular (if perhaps seemingly multifarious) consciousness.
Do we need to tip the scales, as it were, to reach a sufficient number of people attuned to achieve a paradigm shift, or is--at least in one's own sphere of experience--solely a matter of personal conviction and persistence? The latter obviously implies a certain solipsism (which could well be true in my humble opinion, it certainly is notoriously unfalsifiable ha), but I don’t think that neeeeeeed be the case. I think it could also lead to things like essentially Venn overlay reality spheres with an aspect/iteration of each sovereign-soul self "manifesting" in the existential overlaps with other such consciousnesses.
Key word being "could" of course lol just fun to think about. And if it can lead to us all becoming super powerful space sorcerers and sorceresses, well, that could be a decent bonus I suppose haha
Gets back to consciousness.
::shakes fist:: Darn you, consciousness!
“Haha that little girl is such a boss.” -
I think each technique is viable. If you mean to remain in the same timeline, aggregate consciousness applied to manifestation would be a force multiplier. If you mean to move your own consciousness into another timeline to experience something else, you can do that on your own, but it would require shifting.
When people manifest things, they often picture the thing moving toward them in the 3D or they picture how they are going to get there. These things are not what is moving or realigning, so doing that would not bring about the desired outcome. We know that picturing the future as though we were remembering or observing it in the past tense is really what activates the movement. But it's your consciousness that moves. So aggregate would be powerful but clunky, whereas moving just your own consciousness is faster and more effective because you're not introducing additional variables that continuity would need to account for.

Worker Dead At Wells Fargo For 4 Days
This is troubling... this was in an office space where most people work remotely. It took them 4 days to find the body, to even notice anyone had died. She probably had a sudden heart attack or a stroke at her desk.
They didn't say what the cause of death was. But we can guess.

:What a story. Poor Denise. And what a way to go. (I'm always curious if the clotshot is at play nowadays.)
Whole thing sounds like something out of Office Space, but we live in a post-satire world. Surprised management didn't promote Denise for her dedication before realizing she was dead.
And once again the Karens and Karls in the report aren't thinking of their own drone insect behavior strolling past Denise's fetid corpse, or the (in)humanity of it all, or even just accepting the tragi-comic chaos of life... nope, they're clamoring for corporate to somehow save them from the looming spectre of the next desk-dead Denise.
Clearly, HR needs to assign someone the extra title (unpaid, of course) of "Vitality Confirmation Specialist," so they can go around desk-to-desk every first Tuesday and third Thursday (especially on the third floor away from the main aisle where these things tend to occur) and check everyone's pulse, even if they are currently typing or consulting with customers. Because corporate cares. We should get OSHA involved too. More legislation. The "Dead Employees Need Investigation and Special Examination" Act. I find more dehumanizing corporate and government protocols are always a good solution to the accelerating isolation and madness being afflicted on the proles by dehumanizing corporate and government protocols.

We might be getting into a concept similar to how Clif High was using linguistic analysis via web bot with the premise that all humans are slightly psychic. So if we're seeing the conceptual emergence of alternate timelines exploding in media, there's likely something to it and we're all sensing it. Or it's a disclosure drip campaign and we're meant to accept it more readily as being "possible" so that we can accept it as reality when it's time.

From Clif's old website. He was tracking the occurrences of repetitive linguistic phrases in the zeitgeist with the premise that all humans are slightly psychic. He built these into "Alta" reports, predictions for what would happen in politics, economics, and the crypto markets. Clif stopped making the reports once censorship in online spaces created flaws in the data sets.
“Thank you! Can't wait to check this out! Ooooh kinda reminds me of this (but different haha).” -

Several thoughts arise. Again with the stream of consciousness, Jim.
"Virginia Woolf's death was ruled a suicide. She was found floating face down in her stream of consciousness." A bad joke for every occasion, that would be my motto, if I started having mottos.
There was a thing called "the Bronze Age collapse" which is dated from 1200 BC to 1150 BC. So it does get complicated trying to go back much before 1100 BC because a group ("that came out of nowhere!") went around all the Mediterranean civilisations and a bunch of other places and looted, pillaged, raped, murdered, and destroyed nearly everything.
Why did they do that? And what difference could it possibly make? Those bronze age people had bronze but that's just copper and tin and some knowledge at the forge, right? Well, look at Homer's epic poems that we have left. We know that we don't have all of them, because we have scraps of writing from other authors two thousand and twenty-five hundred years ago that refer to other epic poems of the same era. But in the Iliad there is a passage in which Homer describes the shield of Achilles, a gift from the being called "Athena," and that shield has motion pictures. You can read any translation you like, you can study the Greek and read the original text version of what Homer recited from memory (he wasn't a writer, he is reputed to have been nearly blind according to what historical accounts we have of his time). There are scenes described as being on the shield in which things happen. It is called "Aegis" and it still figures in some of our contemporary mythology - a type of "cruiser" with guided missiles bears the same name in the USA navy of today.
Well, the Iliad describes a war that happened between a bunch of Greek city states and the walled city of Troy around 1200 BC. This dating is confirmed by some of the archaeological digs at what is regarded as the historical site of Troy. Right around the time of the Bronze Age collapse.
Also in the Iliad there is a scene of a wedding celebration on Mount Olympus. The entity called "Hephaestus" who was hobbled by the other occupants of Mount Olympus so he would be forced to work at making clever things for them, has built little serving carts that move from one divan to another with nectar and ambrosia. He has also created golden girls, which are dancing robots. How does a goat herd's bard in 800 BC reciting from memory poems about events 400 years earlier know anything about robots that he describes looking like C3PO? How is he able to conceive of moving images on a technological object like Aegis? And who went around destroying any vestiges of that knowledge?
Well, in the Iliad, there is a passage describing the Myrmidons who join Achilles in his fight against the Trojans. And the Myrmidons describe themselves as having come from underground, as having lived like ants, as having a hierarchical society. As if they were people who survived the Great Flood 11,800 years ago and came out of hiding about 1200 BC. And to what end? Apparently, from the reports in the Iliad, to storm the walled city of Troy and destroy everything within it, including various archives of knowledge and perhaps steal some artefacts as well.
Which brings us to Anno Domini 1665. There are lots of people running around England building experimental devices, including flying machines. A famous bishop who was also in the Royal Society at the time wrote that we could be flying to the Moon in a few generations if we could just manage somehow to keep politics out of the thing. That year there was a great plague. Oh, sure, it probably came from the Orient, it probably was carried by fleas borne by rats moving from ships to shore, because of trade and commerce. Or maybe it was part of some demon worshipping cult's plan to establish a great reset. But there was definitely a disease that caused people to have dark pus filled "buboes" in their armpits, groin, and other lymph nodes, and so was called the bubonic plague. And, gosh, what happened in London in 1666? A great fire happened, and it burned all kinds of private records and all kinds of big archives of information. What a coinky-dink.
Then we come to the great European conflagration of 1914-1919. This time there was a "fire" entirely of human origins. No lantern knocked over by a cow this time. A group of known demon worshippers out of perfidious Albion fomented a war and arranged for vast territories to be obliterated with artillery fire. And this time there was a disease, "the Spanish flu" which was definitely not from Spain and seemed to be something other than a flu, which struck down younger healthier persons by doing something to the immune system to turn it against the body. They say 50 million people died. I don't know if that's true. I definitely don't agree that the people involved in government are competent when we ask them to count that high. And they say 9 million died in combat in "world war one" and maybe another two or three million died of privation. And behold they sent a nasty demon worshipping bit of filth named Herbert Hoover to "help the widows and orphans in Belgium" who just went around stealing everyone's private libraries and personal letters and locked it all away in "the Hoover Institute" near Stanford. Elsewhere at roughly the same time, a bunch of archaeological digs were spirited away into the basements of the Smithsonian Institute to hide yet more information from the public. And we are still living in the war years of that "great war." That war didn't end in 1991 when the Soviet Union (one of the outcomes of that war in 1917) fell apart. It only went into a ten year hiatus until the filthy demon worshipping child raping toddler traumatising blood drinking scum could start their "war of terror on everyone in the world." They hate humanity and want to murder seven billion of us and enslave the rest.
And, behold, they have distributed vaxxajabs to cause illness and death in hundreds of millions of people, so far, out of the four or five billion they claim to have jabbed at least once. So, let me see, AD 1665-6 the disease before the fire. AD 1914-1919 the fire before the disease. So we should be due for a lot of fire any day now? Mark your calendars folks. Are the effetes going to set off nuclear weapons in a half dozen or so major cities, blame the "radical right wing populists" and have another great reset?
With regard to the torture rack, in chiropractic they call it "traction" and it can be quite pleasant in helping to re-arrange spinal anomalies.
Then we come to the martyr Saint Lawrence. Around AD 225 he was ordered by the prefect of Rome to produce all the treasures that the alms giving Christians had been collecting. But Lawrence had none, except the lives of the poor of Rome who he brought forth and showed to the prefect. Here were all the treasures gathered, because he had fed and clothed these poor people. And here were pearls and gemstones, the virgins and consecrated nuns who were dedicated to Jesus Christ. But the prefect was very very angry, as filthy bureau rat scum garbage nasties in gooferment often are, and wanted wanted wanted taxes. So to avenge itself on good Lawrence, the terribly evil disgusting joyless rat faced dirt bag prefect brought out a huge grid of steel and set a fire which burnt down to hot coals, and then he had Lawrence tied to the grid. After an hour or so of being grilled on one side, Lawrence cheerfully announced, "I'm done on this side! You should turn me over."
Laws are written in Neptunese so that you have to hire an "expert" to interpret them. Half the employment in the country comes from the idea that most consumers are clueless and need a bevy of experts to get along in life. We are presumed to be so dumb that we require constant marketing from all sources of media to tell us what to consume and how to live. Your spirit knows better.
