It has taken us centuries of thought and mockery to shake the medieval system; thought and mockery here and now are required to prevent the mechanists [technocrats] from building another.

The Making of a Narrative Zealot*



(In four — perhaps five — easy steps!)
1. Take (surreptitiously surveilled, vetted, and tested) candidates and “tabletop”1 them into the inner sanctum of power, pride, privilege, phobia, and Pharma salvation. (See 12+ recent tabletop, simulation examples below.2)

2. Flood table-toppers with “staccato repetition of the [narrative3] message by 'trusted experts'—” 4 [Nondisclosure: This is a "potent tool" to wash the mind of false learning and beliefs, and to accentuate peer-pressure / conformity.]

3. Use repeated RPG (role-playing games) to prime re-educated, scripted, role-defined actors to subdue their inner, discerning non-actor5 when push-comes-to-shove.

4. Tie zealotry to funding grants, budget enhancements, praise, insider privilege, pelf potential, and so forth.

5. In difficult cases, moral testing and failure6 may tip the scale.
That's it! You have zealous presidents, PMs, premiers, governors, judges, enforcers, teachers, professors, EOs, PHOs, doctors, lawyers, journalists, bankers, broadcasters, pastors, technocrats, chiefs, servitors, and on and on and on. And, as we have seen, breaking RPG coding, role-expectation, and zealotry is extremely novel. It appears to be, in some measure, a psychic condition: seeing they cannot see; hearing they cannot hear; thinking they cannot process.

Optimistic Postscript:

However, all is not lost. With mankind's dual nature and moral agency, some zealots do make the breakout and abandon their immersion in Pharma salvation. Some eventually find hope (i.e., assurance) in the Salvation offered circa 34 AD. And though God's anger is not turned away from zealotry for its violence, hypocrisy, evildoing, and folly, YET
His hand is stretched out still.7

1. Tabletop (RPG) Tabletop RPGs (also called Pen-and-Paper RPGs) are roleplaying games in which a person takes on the role of a fictional character, as supervised by a game leader, often called the GM or DM (game master and dungeon master, respectively). Most of the time, it is for the purpose of playing out fantasy adventures, such as slaying demons or rescuing princesses. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tabletop

• 1999 – Pentagon Anthrax sim. (pp. 811+)
• 2000-2007 (various sims named TOPOFF (p. 873-874)
“Many of these drills have involved tens of thousands of local police, health officials, and emergency responders across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe, as well as representatives from the FBI, the State Department, the intelligence agencies, and private corporations from chemical, petroleum, financial, telecom industries, and health sectors” (pp. 874-875).
• 2001 Operation Dark Winter (smallpox) (pp. 800+)
“Dark Winter participants explored strategies for imposing coercive quarantines; censorship; mandatory masking, lockdowns, and vaccination; and expanded police powers as the only rational responses to the pandemic” (p. 801).
“Ironically, even Dr. Fauci, who by then was already the king of embellishing and fabricating pandemics, voiced his disapproval of O’Toole and Kadlec’s extreme Dark Winter exaggerations, which Dr. Fauci declared “much, much worse than would have been the case” in real life” (pp. 804-805).
• 2003, 2005 Atlantic Storm (smallpox) (pp. 833+)
“According to the After-Action Report, the key issues for summit principals were “coping with scarcity of critical medical resources such as vaccines” and assuring a uniform coordinated response among all governments in the world. ... / Characteristically, the assembled eminences bypassed any discussion of bolstering people’s immune system response or testing and distributing off-label therapeutics and went directly to recommending militarized strategies including police state controls, mass propaganda and censorship, and the suspension of civil rights and due process rulemaking in favor of diktats by health authorities, all aimed at coercive vaccination of the population” (pp. 835-836).
• 2003 Global Mercury (smallpox) (pp. 835+)
“[A] potent brainwashing technique for creating and fortifying anti-democratic orthodoxies among key political leaders, the press, and the technocracy, and preparing the nation to tolerate a coup d’état against its Constitution without resistance” (pp. 842-843).
• 2005 SCL Simulation (smallpox - R&R Mercer) (pp. 835+)
“SCL takes on the task of convincing the entire country’s population to comply with lockdown rules by inventing a lie about an unleashed cloud of toxic chemicals. The mission’s objective is to prevent mass panic and casualties from the classified threat of smallpox. SCL feeds disinformation to the press and manufactures medical data. “Londoners stay indoors . . . convinced that even a short walk into the streets could be fatal” (p. 837).
• 2010 Lockstep (Rocke... Foundation) (extremely virulent and deadly influenza) (pp. 844+)
“Each successive drill repeated the narrative of Schwartz’s “Lockstep” scenario for different audiences of key power brokers. These exercises served as devices for planners to rehearse their schemes with critical functionaries and to coordinate communications and choreograph the actions of diverse government, industry, military, intelligence, energy, and financial power centers in their lockstep march to replace constitutional democracy with authoritarian plutocracy” (p. 853).

• 2018 Clade X (Johns Hopkins CHS et al. (p. 864+)
“The exercise emphasized the need for militarized pandemic responses and explored strategies for controlling media and social media. It was a training drill to prepare political, bureaucratic, military, and intelligence officials to support the coup d’état against American democracy and the US Constitution” (p. 865).
• 2019 Crimson Contagion (R. Kadlec, et al.) (pp. 871+)

RFKJ Overview:
• “None of them emphasized protecting public health by showing Americans how to bolster their immune systems, to eat well, to lose weight, to exercise, to maintain vitamin D levels, and to avoid chemical exposure. None of these focused on devising the vital communications infrastructures to link frontline doctors during a pandemic or to facilitate the development and refinement of optimal treatment protocols. None of these dealt seriously with the need to identify off-the-shelf (now known as “repurposed”) therapeutic drugs to mitigate fatalities and to shorten a pandemic’s duration. None of them considered ways to isolate the sick and protect the vulnerable— or how to shield people in nursing homes and other institutions from infection. None of them questioned the efficacy of masks, lockdowns, and social distancing in reducing casualties. None of them engaged in soul-searching about how to preserve constitutional rights during a global pandemic.
“Instead, the simulations war-gamed how to use police powers to detain and quarantine citizens, how to impose martial law, how to control messaging by deploying propaganda, how to employ censorship to silence dissent, and how to mandate masks, lockdowns, and coercive vaccinations and conduct track-and-trace surveillance among potentially reluctant populations. “Coercion should be the last strategy to consider in a pandemic,” remarked physician and biological warfare expert Meryl Nass, MD. “If you have a remedy that works, people will flock to get it. It’s troubling that the first and only option was creating a police state”” (pp. 797-798).
• “The consistent feature is an affinity among their simulation designers for militarizing medicine and introducing centralized autocratic governance. Each rehearsal ends with the same grim punchline: the global pandemic is an excuse to justify the imposition of tyranny and coerced vaccination. The repetition of these exercises suggests that they serve as a kind of rehearsal or training drill for an underlying agenda to coordinate the global dismantlement of democratic governance” (p. 838).

“Paying Thru the Nose”*

nasopharynx swab
Photo: cdc.gov (See footnote 1)

Despite the claim that “samples pulled from deeper in the nasopharynx have proven to have a higher viral concentration”1 than nasal or throat swabs, one wonders if symbology played an even greater motivation for standardizing the initial deep jab? Reminds one of the choice to test temperature with a gun to the forehead instead of to the wrist which would give a more stable reading.2

This all seems so premeditated, predictive, malevolently symbolic, and mocking. A promised “short,” sharp shock of necessitated tyranny; then forever recycling a virtual gun to the head: No school, church, singing, dining-out. No gyms, salons, parties, concerts, live theatre. No hugs. No face. No grandparents. No non-essential business (i.e., small business]. No non-essential travel. And especially: no, no, no closer than 6 feet (the depth of a burial?!!3).

How long before the “no-no-no-guns” cock again and unload on the unvaccinated? – on the fresh heretics? the new pariahs? the latest scapegoats? (Per the unvarying, historical rule that every crisis requires a scapegoat.)

The predictive programming is everywhere. Just web-search unvaccinated, delta variant, winter lockdown, etc., etc.4 then ask (as to stats and scapegoating): Would a closer measure of truth be to invert the MSM headlines?5

Delta* Variant

Greek delta
Image source below footnotes
Example #2 of How to inspire a conspiracy theory1:

1
. Use the Greek alphabet symbolically (as in: “It's mostly Greek to the sheeple.”)
2. Choose (mockingly?) subtly apt letters, shapes, and definitions: 
• Δ δ delta (δέλτα) directed-trajectory.
• The [Greek] letter Δ means directed-trajectory.
• Webster’s defines direct as “to manage or guide; to regulate the course of;” and traject as to “transport, transmit.” A directed-trajectory is a guided transmission.
• The delta (dέλτα) of a river is the triangular-shaped deposit of sediment at the mouth of a river that directs the current. ...
• Arrows are an iconic symbol of direction.
• The triangular arrow-tip directs the flight of a spear. Dour- (δουρ-) is a prefix meaning spear. ...
• An arrow sign. ...
• Tellingly, the simple Greek word de (δέ) means but, a word that redirects the current subject.
• De (δέ) also implies a causal connection, as in then.2
So, delta, that triangular-shaped arrow-tip? that spear of regulated, directed-trajectory? that flight of a guided transmission? that coiled lower case? has, after 15 months, now raised its threatening head accompanied by the incessant, background noise of further, predicted lockdowns,3 plus MORE variants and deaths this coming Fall / Winter 2021. The alleged list of variants can go on for some time (20 more Greek letters?) as can the finger of blame:
• opening up too soon;
• flawed human biology;
• the unherded, unvaccinated, unscientific, neanderthal church-goers on the one hand and red-neck party manimals on the other;
• etc., etc.
BUT never never blame the “saving” (spear-like? fang-like?) injections; never the inadvertent (deliberate? directed?) lab leaks or planned contaminations4; never a guided, eugenics agenda5; never the obsessive pursuit of a (faux) Utopia6 by pursuers and protectors of power, gain, glory, and domination.

But before delta moves ever onward toward omega here are three questions for (unwise) insiders and their believers:
1. Could omega,7 being the last letter of the Greek alphabet, mean the end of something predicted long before COVID appeared on the scene?
2. Could karmic-shift be a myth?8
3. Are visible leaders and enforcers being set-up as patsies and fall-guys for hidden insiders in gruesome replay of the French Revolution?

A Plethora of “Honest” Jabber Mistakes?!!

(in a Jabberwocky,* inverted world)

Since the inner-ring powers love to mock the undeserving, deplorable masses, one can't help but wonder at the abundance of “honest” mistakes by vaccine jabbers, and then why the supervising powers allow / require public confession of “honest” incompetence. Is it to feed conspiracy theories about saline-vaccine for the deserving? or just to mock gullibility?

Almost all mistakes occurred in March through May 2021. Do your own search, e.g., “vaccine saline mistake” and ask how long it took to discover the accidental errors.

But let's forget the mistakes. Let's look ahead. Let's not get too hyped on herd immunity or the hope of “old normal.” Let's plan for another “dark winter.” Let's prophesy in this springtime of a hovering “dark cloud”! Let's try predictive programming — again.
Winter COVID Surges Will Bring Lockdowns, Travel Bans, Crammed ICUs
by Fred Guterl on 05/12/21
“But the pandemic is not over. In the U.S., the nation is still divided in its willingness to accept vaccines or heed precautions against infection. Vaccination rates have peaked and herd immunity now seems unlikely before next winter, almost guaranteeing that pockets of people will remain vulnerable to the coronavirus in the fall, as the cold weather closes in. So will millions of people around the world, who are still vulnerable to infection and have little prospect of getting shots anytime soon.

“The coronavirus will continue to circulate widely for months, giving it plenty of opportunities to mutate into troublesome new forms that chip away at the effectiveness of vaccines. The prospect that dangerous new variants will trigger fresh outbreaks—with the accompanying lockdowns, travel restrictions and calls for social distancing and mask-wearing—is a dark cloud over hopes of a return to pre-pandemic normal in 2021 and 2022.”**
Yes, let us reconcile ourselves to annual dark winters; daily masks; nonsensical, arbitrary, fluctuating, cruel rules conceived by recycling tyrannies — unless, that is, we decide it's time to kill the Jabberwock with ten-thousand Vorpal*** words of truth.
