Thank you, Madhava...that's a bird's eye view of where we are now, and what the duopoly and its media mouthpiece don't want to talk about.

I just came from a demonstration in downtown Philadelphia, "Not Another Bomb". The theme was that Kamala needs the city Democrats and people of color to beat Trump in November, and we are making it clear to her that our support is conditional on a halt to supplying the IDF with bombs.

What more can we do? I think we need to demand investigations. Independent commissions, maybe from GAO, to report to Congress and the People about

+ 9/11

+ the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus

+ the suppression of early treatments during the pandemic

+ the promotion of a dangerous new technology, labeled a "vaccine" as a form of reassurance

+ Jeffrey Epstein's black book

+ how our votes are counted

+ the Trump assassination attempt

+ Israeli complicity in the 10/7 casualties

Once we've established the precedent for honest, competent investigations, we might investigate the Baltimore bridge, the Nordstream pipeline, East Palestine derailment, the hurricane in Acapulco, the fire in Maui, and chemtrails.

Thanks Josh. It's a great idea to take the arguments to the people who need to hear them rather than creating our own echo chambers.

Excellent plan. But congress does not care about any of this, so why report to them and their AIPAC minders about the peoples investigations? This sounds like what Reiner Fuellmich was working on before he was imprisoned: gathering material for class action lawsuits. I would take each one of your topics for "investigation" then work with people who were clearly damaged by them to establish a powerful array of class action lawsuits in response to them. Then broadcast these lawsuits widely for the nation to pile onto.

You really think Kamala will address any of these issues in any meaningful way?

It’s great to read your reflections here. I just learned about a “Not Another Bomb” rally here in Minneapolis, but not in time to go myself. I have been tracking what the anti-war left is doing in Chicago with the DNC, but haven’t been sure where to find good information on that.

Let's take a look at Donald Trump's Ear

Seemingly No Injury...

How do you explain the injuries sustained by people in the crowd?

Expand full comment

Why is there no blood on his hand after he touches his ear?

Why did no blood drip onto his white shirt?

Why was he allowed to 'get my shoes/?

Let's look at a real assassination attempt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1Jid5uRFo4

Why was he allowed to stand up and fist pump and shout fight?

How did an American flag get into the background shot of the fist pump making for a perfect photo op?

Recent photos of Trump have raised eyebrows, particularly given his former doctor, Ronny Jackson's statements. The medical practitioner had previously stated that a bullet had severely damaged the ex-president's ear during the assassination attempt.

Despite Jackson's claims that the bullet had blown off part of Trump's ear, the new images of Trump meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu show no visible scarring or damage.

How did his ear heal in two weeks -- and leave no scar?

The thing is ... I awoke on that day to a message saying 'Trump almost got his head blown off'....

I opened a clip and watched once... it looked like a very bad grade D movie... it looked fake as f789... from the people in the crowd.. to the secret service reaction ... total amateur hour... it looked like bad actors faking an assassination...

This is before I even knew the 'shooter' was able to get within 150 yards onto a rooftop...

It just looked completely fake.

Yet almost everyone believed it. Do you see the problem here? If almost everyone will fall for something that is so obviously fake... then you will fall for just about anything...

You are all hopelessly lost.

I will leave you with a question ... we are told cnn hates Trump ... so why did they not pull up the clip that I showed you above -- and ask the obvious questions....

Why did they not show Trump's perfectly intact ear - two weeks after the 'shooting' and ask -- how did it heal so fast and so perfectly?

I will tell you why -- it is because everything is fake... you are being played... you are in a matrix. https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/what-if/

Most of you will never accept this thesis... you will continue to vote - even though nothing ever changes... and generally you will believe whatever cnnbbc tells you to believe...

Because 99.999999% of all humans are either barnyard animals... or circus animals

We are cockroaches ... nothing more. You are expendable... I am .. we all are...

Killing a few people to add credibility to a fake assassination .... all in a days work

So you are suggesting that Trump didn't know that there would be a fake assassination attempt on that day?

Or are you saying that he knew about it and went along with the plan that would result in a few people being killed to help his chances in the election?

I find both of these to be of low probability. In the first scenario, if he didn't know there would be a staged assassination with real bullets where did he get the ketchup or fake blood from?

I find the second possibility to be equally improbable. He didn't need to stage an event like this, even with fake bullets. He knows he is going to win this election. Why take chances with his own health?

I am open to hearing your arguments.

Whilst I prefer to remain neutral on the Trump assassination theories, I do have some insights to offer.

The benefit isn't from Trump's election chances. If you consider how both parties behave the same, you'll quickly realise the election in itself is irrelevant. Pro-Israel Kamala Harris or Pro-Israel Donald Trump makes little difference.

However, prior to this point in time the public were starting to think the elections weren't real. The 'assassination attempt' thus can serve a number of possibilities, in that it makes the public think 'the elections must have consequences, someone almost shot Trump over it!' so they "buy in" again.

The most dangerous aspect for the current government is the public realising it is a de facto tyranny with no real voting choices. Because that is the moment rebellion emerges.

Think about it logically: if this was an attempt by a Deep State, why did they send a guy who effectively looks like he has mental disabilities? Why not a professional marine who has honed his skills? Or an MS-13 assassin? Why would a deeply embedded organisation consisting of child pedophilia rings, blackmail and sophisticated intel rely on, basically, the mental equal of a child?

You still don't know who killed Jeffrey Epstein, a high profile figure in a prison, but you're asking me to believe a mental child with a gun is the Deep State's answer to Trump?

You either have to then argue the Deep State is competent enough to pull off complex false flags (9/11) but not "simple" assassinations (even though JFK was killed) in some bizarre pretzel logic. Think of how many suspicious deaths and murders there have been where the killer was never even identified.

Having this stunt occur allows the Deep State to sow divisions between groups. A divided public that wars with itself poses no threat to the tyrants in power. I am pretty sure they were expecting red/blue civil war. I'm pretty sure they wanted a native versus migrant war in the UK as well.

Go ahead, tell me it takes the Deep State 8 years to send a mental child to "attempt" to kill a 70 year old man who eats McDonalds slop, conveniently during an election year, especially exactly as people become critical of both Harris and Trump's pro-Israel stances and the genocide in Gaza. Good distraction, eh?

Of course he knew... they are all actors.. Trump is an actor... Obama... Biden... all of them ...

Next time you are in the supermarket - take a look around you at the sea of morons... they load up on garbage then head home to watch Dancing with Stars... American Idol... sports ... and cnnbbc....

Do you think that there is not a tier of humans who are ultra wealthy - and ultra smart -- who would not move heaven and earth to ensure that the morons do not get to make important decisions?

Of course there are ... I am not talking Deep State... they are the minions of these men... as are the politicians.

Trump is no different - he is told what to do ... if he is told to participate in a fake assassination ... he would do it ... if he refused a direct order he'd be shown the Zapruder film...

He had a Tee Vee show .. he likes being famous... his big role is playing POTUS>

2:30 mark https://153news.net/watch_video.php?v=2U7X8WSS71HX

I showed this to top lawyer for a major US investment bank who I met up with for a trek in northern India a few weeks back... he initially thought the shooting was allowed to happen ... and that Trump got lucky...

Initially I said ... I have hunted deer twice in my life... I am no expert marksman ... but there is no way I miss at 150 yards... impossible...

Then I asked him to watch that video... Trump grabs his ear only AFTER the shot fired by the SS sniper.... there is no ambiguity... zero. The clip does not lie.

Now why is cnn not showing this? What about Joe Rogan?

Nobody is showing this.

And why are they not showing the undamaged ear? You are a doctor I believe...

How can his ear look perfectly intact two weeks after the shooting?

It was not grazed....

Recent photos of Trump have raised eyebrows, particularly given his former doctor, Ronny Jackson's statements. The medical practitioner had previously stated that a bullet had severely damaged the ex-president's ear during the assassination attempt.

How did the blood get on his ear? That's easy - they smeared it on when he was on the ground -- same as they do in movies when someone gets shot.... amazingly they didn't get any on his crisp white shirt... and none got onto his hand...

Despite Jackson's claims that the bullet had blown off part of Trump's ear, the new images of Trump meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu show no visible scarring or damage.

What about the people killed? Do you think Trump gives f789s about that ... he is in The Club.... he's not the owner of The Club ... but he is in it... it's an awesome club... the best club... who cares about the 8 billion cockroaches... they will all die anyway ... so what's the big deal if a few get sacrificed as part of the charade.... they think differently that you ... you are not in The Club....

Why did they fake this?

Logic dictates that it was not so that he'd win the election ... if the men who run the show wanted him to win the election ... they don't replace Biden.... (hat tip to my lawyer friend who suggested that).

I have two theories:

1. They wanted to elevate Trump to messianic status... for what reason I do not know ... but I suspect it has something to do with the next phase of the covid/extermination plan https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/the-ultimate-extinction-plan-uep

2. Like most of what we see on 'the news'... this is all about keeping the barnyard and circus animals entertained... keeping them enthralled.... distracting them from truths... think of it like a soap opera... combined with World Wresting Federation fakery.... that never ends...

And just to follow up on my earlier comment, quoting based on military knowledge.

Headshot assassinations are a meme.

Snipers are trained to go for 'centre mass' (the upper torso) as the head is difficult to hit. And before you say "body armour", .50 cals can penetrate light vehicle armour; even if you think .50 is too big, snipers can and do make use of armour piercing rounds.

Even if you think those are regulated, people are able to make custom bullets. Harder material, more powerful mixture of gunpowder.

Military snipers are also trained not to be visible (police snipers are taught to be visible as it deters attacks). The man didn't even attempt a disguise.

What happened is not the work of someone with military experience, but of someone who sees gunshots in movies.

No one I know speaks about these things except my husband, and one friend of mine (that you also share). When I bring it up, eyes either glaze over or get angry because Kamala is special, or abortion is health care, or Ukraine is our friend. And the moment I mention that the US was only spared the worst of the Covidian nightmare because of state's rights, the same people get even angrier because the Constitution is outdated and can't keep us safe in this modern world. I do not like the odds of Harris presidency. I realize Trump is the one who locked us down, but the "red" states realized by fall of 2020 that things needed to reopen and got that going without forcing vaccines, so at the moment, I feel safer under Republican leadership, which is a very strange place for me to be.

I believe both parties serve the same masters, but I understand what you are saying. Amazingly the never-Trumpers who think Democracy is in danger if Trump wins seem to be utterly unaware of the fact that the present administration has taken the biggest step to destroy the 240 year old experiment in self-governance. Get the people to ask that the first amendment be amended and bent and sooner or later you will have an autocracy. It's just a matter of time.

So true. It's my biggest fear that 1A will be destroyed under Harris or any Democrat in the next four years. They will act swiftly as the UK has claiming that internet censorship is a good thing. They've already destroyed the free press, something that was considered crucial in many of the discussions leading to the Constitution. Madison, Paine, all of them considered a free press foundational to the type of government they were constructing. Yet when I mention this to 90% of the people I know, they justify all these actions or their faces go blank. I fear it's already decided.

It is clear that the whole election spectacle is a massive psy-op, designed to keep us from interfering with the plans of our owners (to use George Carlin's apt name for the political class.) Trump is the obvious bad guy, the villain in a professional wrestling match, while Harris is the designated white hat, who will triumph over the villain. And the whole thing is fake as hell--we have no way of checking that the votes are being properly counted. Candidates who might offer real policy change are not even allowed on the ballot.

Villains and Heroes

What if US presidents are nothing more than actors?

What if Trump was tipped to play the role of raging blowhard with the odd hair and spray on tan?

What if Biden, who sometimes appears to not know where he is and shakes hands with ghosts or tries to sit on a chair that does not exist, yet at other times is perfectly lucid, is faking dementia?

Why have we not seen Trump or Hunter in jail? Is this all Potemkin Theatre? Is it a political version of the World Wrestling Federation for the purpose of inciting mass demoralization using the Operation Clown World strategy (Tranny Freaks flashing their ball sacks in primary schools while parents clap and sing along is also part of Operation Clown World). A demoralized herd is more likely to accept extermination. It is also very effective in keeping the mob of imbeciles from the truth.

What if corrupt politicians are not a flaw in the system rather a feature? Might The Club encourage venal idiots to seek office because they will do what they are told and are only interested in enriching themselves.

It’s not hard to imagine that if a POTUS was to oppose The Club, he’d be ushered into the private cinema at the White House and shown the Zapruder Film. No doubt The Club’s directors prefer not to blow out the brains of its members (again).

I know from experience with my husband's NPR 'brainwashing' that people are very resistant to the idea that they have 'fallen for' propaganda...

...so, I thought it might be effective to introduce the topic of "Filter Bubbles", which we all are at risk of falling victim to -

- the following is a sample email I've been drafting with links to reference materials:

"Hi, here's a link to a really great book: "The Filter Bubble: What the Internet is Hiding from You" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10596103-the-filter-bubble

: just in case you’re interested in learning how internet algorithms keep us in an ‘information bubble’, which results in confirmation bias, causing info that we ‘do searches’ on or that comes into our news feeds -

- to automatically ‘reflect’ back to us (primarily) the content, ideas and opinions we currently ‘agree with’ (our paradigms) regardless whether it may be outdated, inaccurate, or even potentially untrue….

Here's a link to a Ted Talk, by the author of the book: https://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles?subtitle=en

Ted Talk Summary -

"As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there's a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a "filter bubble" and don't get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy.”

Here's another good resource: https://www.techopedia.com/definition/28556/filter-bubble

And finally, In composing the above, I had the following insight:

That, these internet algorithm "Filter Bubbles" are a significant contributor to the extreme divisiveness society is being driven to....because people are not aware of this mechanism and don't know how often they are being 'confirmed’ in a ‘personalized’ or inwardly ‘mirrored’ set of ideas forming their paradigms -

- and this causes various small 'bubble' groups to believe they are the 'majority' and therefore must be the ones who are 'correct', which leads to such groups becoming unjustifiably antagonistic to others.

This is also the way that a small population percentage (such as transgenders), in knowing how to 'reach in' to various bubbles, can become so 'visible' that they gain power in 'turning' society toward accepting the 'unacceptable'.

As well, the above can lead to people voting ‘blindly’, due to being unaware of ‘filter bubble’ confirmation bias or that they receiving bad information 'thru’ their internet ‘bubbles’...

Thank you!

I agree with everything you write except calling Putin a dictator. Let's face it, Russian elections are probably more fair than ours, and that's not a compliment to Russia. Russian analysts I've listened to have said Putin is in the moderate camp and has to hold off war hawks. His approval rating from independent polls is around 80%. Why? Simply because the standard of living of the average Russian has improved drastically under his watch, and it's generally understood he won't sell out Russia to any oligarch, Western or Russian.

That doesn't mean he doesn't have faults or isn't autocratic. This is Russia, it would be near impossible for a non autocrat to rise to power. But Putin is far less a dictator than those that head many oil rich US allies.

Excellent essay. You pose many very good questions that most of the population is afraid to even look at. And now we have a Harris campaign that is using the exact same tactics as the covid mafia to convince people they are the "safe and effective" choice. And using hypnotic language patterns (first discovered by Milton Erikson but poorly delivered by Harris). And pushing an agenda that includes a system of government that is remarkably similar to how the CCP universe is constructed....all the while claiming Trump is a threat to democracy. And otherwise intelligent people are looking to celebrities and influencers (most of the paid for by DNC or their donors) to shape their opinion...because they are unwilling to do their own research, and/or because they are suffering wish projection. Shake and repeat. Shake and repeat.

Our inner life has two vehicles that can either guide us gracefully or rip our world apart. There’s our head that propels both or intellect and our common sense; And there’s our heart that’s the source of the empathy we feel, the truth and justice we long for and of course our sense of hope, humility and justice. The way I see it, both of these elements of our humanity need to be cared for at great lengths.

Madhava, your observation helps me see how out of tune a human being can become when the head and the heart aren’t getting their much needed attention and focus. And reading it reminded me once again that we are all on a very special journey. As crazy, silly, dark and demented as it may appear, this is a special journey we are on, and there’s so much to learn. Most importantly is our need to remain of lover of all that is good and kind. But We still need to remember that there are many here affected by the lies and cruelty and fear.

One of the Indian saints I’ve read said if you see a man drowsing, to yes - jump in and try to rescue him. But in your attempt, if the drowning man tries to overwhelm you and pull you down, get away as quickly as you can. There’s your common sense at work as well. Navigating through this insane world is so often a challenge and all I need to do is read through this well presented timeline of maddening events that led so many astray - it’s so obvious - for me: remain a lover and don’t buy into the BS.

This is a great song that says volumes in a few words and notes, written and sung by one of the few brave and honest musicians who didn’t fall for the lies and spoke out about it. Enjoy!

I understand your sentiment. However there are prominent spokespersons against the shots who did fall for it. They woke up and they are fighting the good fight in the best way they know how.

Those who come out and admit their fault are absolved as long as they have learned their lesson (which is government is totally sinister) But we must not forget those that are still talking aobut covid as though it is real. They fell for the trick and so what they say in must be taken with a grain of salt. We need to figure out how did people fall for it all and so thoroughly so we can learn about ourselves. It does matter though that some figured it out early and that disctinction really needs to be made. The reason I say this is because as time marches on, things spin more and more out of control, it is going to take some fast thinking and accurate thinking. Beware of taking advice from those who fell for the hoax and remained in that mindset.

I agree with 98% of your comments except for the comment that “Putin is a dictator. And he also believes (for good reason) that our country meddled in Ukrainian politics which ultimately led to the ousting of Russian friendly Ukrainian President Yanukovich who rejected an invitation to join the EU ten years ago.”

If you look at the history of this event , speak to the average Ukrainian and understand the history of repeated attempts at Genocide that Russia has committed on Ukraine, you will understand that Ukrainians want nothing to do with Russia and were promised by them president Yanykowycz to be closer to their European neighbors. Once he changed direction the students protested and over 100 were murdered by Russian snipers.

Putin will not let Ukraine go as once Ukrainians become more like the Europeans Russia will as well and he will be executed for treason.

You believe Putin would step down willingly if an election resulted in somebody else winning? That's not my impression which is why I don't think it is unfair to call him a dictator. At the very least I am not aware of any checks and balances that limit his executive power much. You are more familiar with the country than I am. So please educate me.

Furthermore, it was the Scottish Expert who called him a dictator. If that is what he believes it makes no sense that he would see this latest dynamic in the war to be somehow good for the Ukrainians. Dictators don't walk away from a fight with their hands in their pockets. They don't care so much about public support for a war.

NATO is not looking to stop Russian aggression in my opinion. They broke multiple promises to stay away from Ukraine. They are trying to pick a fight. And fights are good for a country that likes to sell weapons. Happy to hear your point of view though.

I am not suggesting that Putin is popular amongst Ukrainians. My point here is that the West meddled in the politics of a country that shares an enormous border with Russia and one that is of enormous strategic importance to it. It would be naive to think Putin won't fight tooth and nail to maintain influence over Ukraine.

Hi Madhava, thanks for responding. I don't think Putin will stop as if he does the Russian people will realize how much was stolen from them. He does not want his people to have what other freedom loving countries have. We need to remember Russia started the war not Ukraine. Ukrainians gave up their nuclear arsenal in exchange and weapons for security guarantees from the USA UK and Russia . Look up the Budapest Memorandum.

Ukrainian's will always be in debt from the support USA provided and will never forget it..

The same situation happened in the 1940's if USA Canada and the allies would not come to help England to fight Germany we would be living in a different reality. We might see WW IIII in our lifetime if Russia does not back down. Ukraine would not need to join Nato if Russia adhered to their agreements. There was never talk about joining Nato until Russia invaded Ukraine is a free democratic independent nation and choose to be closer to Europe not Russia as historically Russia committed genocide before. ie google Holodymor ( starving of millions in Europe's bread basket). There are so many more talking points, happy to discuss in via phone as i not very articulate via emails Russia are the best at propaganda and unfortunately many of their lies entered into the conservative movement.

I appreciate the balanced perspective on politics. I'm glad the public sphere is moving away from MY RED TRIBE IS BETTER THAN YOUR BLUE TRIBE to realising 'hey wait a minute, both parties are trying to screw us over'.

I've had the displeasure of knowing this for decades and watching, much to my frustration, the public blindly trust in government, simply because it hadn't done any major acts of overt and obvious evil (despite bombing Iraq, Afghanistan on a falsified pretext etc) pre-2020.

At first I naively thought something like only 20% of people would comply with lockdowns, facemasks, restrictions - after all, pre-2020 there had been a lot of tough talk of folks "defending their homes against jackbooted thugs". Then the public themselves became the jackbooted thugs, almost overnight. Must have been 80% compliance!

Then they went back to blaming each other over red/blue colour schemes, like squabbling children ignoring the fact their parents are abusive.
