While you were distracted, things are going on

I am posting links to stories that will require slow thoughtful reading later.


 StrategyPage has a long complicated article on Afghanistan: including Pakistan being the puppet master, the drug money funding the Taliban, and China planning to be the new puppetmaster. 

complicated analysis instead of propaganda that is in the headlines.


Global voices has a long article on China destroying big business in the name of socialism/solidarity.

Recently, the Chinese propaganda machine provided another theory for Xi Jinping's comprehensive clampdown — a revolution to move away from a ‘capitalist-centred’ system to return to a ‘people-centered’ socialist system. 

The article, entitled ‘Everyone can sense that a profound transformation is underway’ (每一個人都能感受到,一場深刻變革正在進行),  is written by Li Guangmen, a nationalist writer. The article begins with an overview of the recent crackdown on celebrities in China. The propaganda authorities have criticized celebrities for being morally corrupt and slammed their fans for being irrational. The article also says the series of crackdowns on private corporations such as the suspension of Ant Group’s IPO, the 18.2 billion yuan fine levied on Alibaba and the investigation of Didi Global, as a sign of a profound transformation toward ‘common prosperity and will alter China’s political-economic system’ (English translation via China Digital Times):

hmm... a lot of this sounds like the Great Reset, which global leaders are openly pushing but if you whisper it, you will be censored.

Archbishop Vigano's interview is on LifeNews,

why post the opinion of an aging religious leader? Because he was high in the Vatican diplomatic service and was a whistleblower on high profile pedophile McCarrick (who pooh poohed the idea that pro abortion politicians should not receive the sacraments, had his friends appointed bishops, and was behind the Chinese Vatican deal that let the gov't there take over the church).

The Pope is planning to use "synodality" as a way to let the modernists take over the church, by changing dogmas and by allowing activists to take over her institutions (schools, hospitals, newspapers that might print non PC opinions, etc.).

Pure psychobabblr

Synodality proposes meetings at the grass roots level where ordinary folks are supposed to make the agenda, but it is actually fake: the agenda is set by the higher ups, the local activists take over the meetings, ordinary folks don't bother to go because they won't get a say, and even if they protest, their opinions will be ignored. 

Well, my point is that the takeover of the church by the modernist types will facilitate the changes planned for us hoi polloi in the next few years: 

The Great Reset.

and unlike Lifesite etc who have been sanctioned/banned from Youtube for conspiracy theories. you tube has a slew of videos on the Great Reset... by the WEF.

A lot of folks suspect the virus is being used to manipulate people to accept the changes long proposed by globalists.

 

which is the real reason the crazies dislike masks and vaccines: it is sort of mass hysteria or a fad that is catching on by those who see it as a fight for freedom.

and given the intensive lockdown in Australia, they just might be right.

Crazy, no? But using a mask has symbolism implying stopping people from speaking the truth.

Something that is already happening according to reports from the west (not to mention China, of course).

First they destroy the economy with lockdowns, then they say hey we need a reset because the economy is lousy.

But now that the Delta varient is here, it seems neither masks nor vaccines will work completely. And I suspect that the lockdowns will be seen by the future historians as delaying the epidemic (áka flattening the curve) but in the long term futile.

As for the vaccines, I have written about that form of hysteria many times: Chinese bots and disinformation and a suspicion of cover up of side effects. And questions about the experimental mRNA vaccine not being answered, so all the various non mRNA vaccines are lumped together with that newfangled technique.

and I won't even go into the Ivermectin hysteria in the press. The Rolling Stone article was trumpeted all over before someone bothered to ask the local hospital if it was true (It wasn't). 

Censorship continues to be a problem: by censoring the crazies, you censor the real story. The Crazies take a tiny part of the whole and exaggerate it, but when you censor them, you also censor the ability to discuss problems.

Jordan Peterson discusses censorship.

so far Dilbert hasn't been censored, and today he notes: Dr. Rand Paul was right.
