“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.”

Jesters to the Rescue?



State With No Electricity Orders Everyone To Drive Electric Cars

Clarifying questions to the Woke:
1) If woke2 began with good cause, has it now been appropriated, infiltrated, co-opted, and mutilated to its harm by narcissists and moles?
2) Has the original woke voice been drowned in a flood of inverted woke led by nefarious warlocks of kowtow enforcement (nwoke)? led by pretenders in make-believe3 narratives?
3) Is the intent of many “activists” and moles to mock woke into a final state of rejection and oblivion? a final solution by the ideologues of World Order —WO?
4) Is that why jesters4 of extremism, hypocrisy, and make-believe are being censored5? because mockers and inverters of good cannot tolerate being mocked in return?

Uknown / Unexplained*!!

(or: Pscience** in Action?)

Apparently, for the first time in Alberta history of recording and reporting causes of death, the cause termed “unknown / unexplained” tops the list of “causes” for the period beginning Fall 2021; which, strangely, is the same period when a windfall, experimental, pharma remedy was (and still is) being forced upon the populous; the same pharma industry that has been fined billions for deception and illegal practices1; the same time that questioners about the remedy were / are losing their jobs or medical licenses or being maligned for asking those questions; and the same time that adverse reactions to the remedy are piling up in sport venues, hospitals, and morgues.

Here is comedian JPSears take on the mystery:


UNKNOWN Cause of Death? Our Latest Propaganda!
(AwakenwithJP |  Aug 20, 2022 | Time 9:12 min.) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F74iqEJnb14&t=438s
Does “unknown / unexplained” not seem highly strange, considering past confessions by authorities of the rush to blame every possible or impossible death on COVID? Has COVID fallen off the blame radar? How long before a new, virulent strain of influenza (with its requisite remedy) will be ready to distract and accept blame?

Subtext* of the Late** Georgia Guidestones***

Georgia Guidestones
Image source below footnotes
On July 6, 2022 at about 3:03:33 (Eastern Standard Time 1 — corrected from man-made Daylight Time), an alleged explosion broke a “leg” off the Georgia Grindstones in Elbert County, Georgia USA. Though the chipped capstone appeared to have been struck from above, the multi-million-$, 6-piece monument was declared to have been fatally wounded by a bomb presumably at its base. Within, mere hours a high-hoe pushed the chipped capstone, the remaining legs (3), and center pillar into rubble.

So now that the Guidestone inscriptions 2 are no longer available to guide survivors after some expected and / or assisted cataclysm, Moc 'n Dox offers ten clarifications (subtext) to the 10 guides inscribed in “eight different languages, ... English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, and Russian.”

Here are the once-monumental inscriptions (black) and intuited subtext (red):
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature by reducing current “humanity” from its nigh eight billion to 1/2 billion using a variety of unique, pscientific3 measures to cull the excess.
2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity by judging who is fit and perfect enough to mate using (amongst other methods) a Dragon's Den4 model to evaluate aspiring reproducers. Selected reproducers will then be exempted from universal, mandatory, fertility-blocker shots. If reproduction manifests as neither fit nor perfect enough, subtext #1 applies.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language by killing dead languages and their recalcitrant speakers until no living-language speaker can decipher the Guidestones' dead languages.
4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason administered with the aid of a passion – faith – tradition slide-rule wielded by a Supreme Ruler who has unlimited, tempered reasons for everything.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts — with fair and just determined in the sole discretion of the Supreme Ruler (without appeal).
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court by making all nations ONE World Order (WO) under a Supreme Dear Ruler.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials by establishing ONE Supreme Ruler aided by six Socially Indexed Credit Obedient (SICO+ 5) loyalists to maintain order, efficiency, and loyalty. 6
8. Balance personal rights with social duties using the Mao-Trudeau model.7
9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite wisdom of the Supreme Ruler's monopoly on truth – beauty – love.
10. Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature – recognizing that 1) cancer needs aggressive treatment and /or eradication; 2) nature is frequently “red in tooth and claw” 8; and 3) nature often favors the fit, agile, and furtive.

Suggestion: Use the Guidestones subtext model to guide when deciphering (subtexting) the claims and promises of SICO “experts,” private-public partnerships, 9 big Pharma, 10 etc., etc.

----------------------------------/
*Subtext is any content of a creative work, which is not announced explicitly (by characters or author), but is implicit, or becomes something understood by the audience. Subtext has been used historically to imply controversial subjects without drawing the attention (or wrath) of censors. This has been especially true in comedy; it is also common in science fiction, where it can be easier—and/or safer—to deliver a social critique if, e.g., set in a time other than the (author's) present. // Subtext is content "sub" i.e. "under" (with the sense of "hidden beneath") the verbatim wording; readers or audience must "gather" subtext "reading between the lines" or inferring meaning, a process needed for a clear and complete understanding of the text. A meaning stated explicitly is, by definition not subtext (for lack of hiding), and writers may be criticized for failure artfully to create and use subtext; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtext

**Though the chipped capstone appeared to have been struck from above, the multi-million-$, 6-piece monument was declared to have been wounded by a bomb presumably at its base. Surveillance footage of the heavily-camera-ed crime scene was scarce and within, mere hours a high-hoe pushed the chipped capstone, the remaining legs (3), and center pillar into rubble. Preservation of intact pieces did not seem to be a priority. The final resting place has not yet been revealed.

Co-parenting in the New World Order (WO)

(Side note: In the interests of transparency, full disclosure, and karmic shift,* “Co-” in this blog post title has been abbreviated from Co-opting.)

In 1996, when HR (Her Royal?) Clinton (mostly?) ghosted a book titled, It Takes a Village,1 she didn't gaze far enough into the future. Since 2020, it has become patently obvious that it takes much more than a village to raise 21st Century children. It takes the unquestionable unquestioned expertise of WEF 'n WO 'n WHO. So, for new, naïve parents, here is a brief primer about what co-parenting means for your 21st Century kids coming soon to your family's newly-assigned, stratified rental.
▪ Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is here to stay regardless of the age of the child or the state of the emergency (or alleged emergency).

▪ Parental resistance to co-parenting will be deemed ipso facto neglect or abuse without need for lengthy, expensive adjudication.

▪ Children, judged too young to purchase tobacco, alcohol, or legalized drugs, shall be deemed sufficiently sagacious to vax to the max recommended by the expert co-parent.

▪ Children, judged too young to purchase tobacco, alcohol, or legalized drugs, shall be deemed sufficiently sagacious to change gender ID, gender accoutrements, species ID, age of consent, housing preference, and so forth as sympathized by the expert co-parent.

▪ WHO, WEF, WO, and local CPS narratives supersede all counter-narratives.

▪ Schooling, whether public or private, is pandemic dependent and VAX-compliant.

▪ All travel without a mask or #x-vax is prohibited and, in the case of accompanying mini-minors is dependent on coercive, parental power and / or the sedative state of said mini-minors.

▪ The soon-to-be-released 21st Century WHO Food Guide will be mandatory in meal presentation, monitored by mandatory SMART devices such as phones, fridges, stoves, garburators, compactors, sewage sensors, blood and body monitors, and so forth; backed-up by supermarket receipts to ensure: 1) the absence of meat, sugar, sodas, sweets, milk, cheese, etc., etc.; and 2) the abundance of insect protein, synthetic meat, enhanced GMO veggies and fruits, and so forth. Where there are household infants, synthetic breast milk will be mandatory.

▪ Grandparents and other elderly relatives may, in certain circumstances, be deemed by the expert co-parent to be too health-fragile for personal relationship. (This may soon apply to other family members, plus school mates,2 friends, neighborhood kids, teachers, et al. Only in the metaverse will risky familiarities like touching, hand-holding, hugging, etc. be permitted.)

▪ And so forth.
Who can possibly complain when WO and the Friends of WO bring such order to the chaos of excessive choice and thus, the inevitable bad choices we make when we have such excess? For the present, this choice remains before us:

Heil to the WO! or NO?

Paving The Road to Serfdom: BB-BG Partnershi_!!

Image info below footnotes*

Well folks, the HI-way this old biped is sprucing up for — to cruise down in his new camouflage CrabwalkTM Hummer— has a faux-road infinity cyclorama of future nirvanic-order at mile-marker 2022; a cyclorama obscuring a sudden T- intersection. Right 90° or Left 90° makes not a whit of difference. Either right or left ends up in the same place — a downward, backward loop merging at a common T-point.1 Both loops are strewn with the detritus of unrelenting propaganda of Big Business-Big Government Partnershi_!!. It's all feudal — by way of “friendly fascism.”

Can we spot the reality in these quotes:
I [author, Gross Bertram] am uneasy with those who still adhere strictly to President Eisenhower’s warning in his farewell address against the potential for the disastrous rise of power in the hands of the military-industrial complex. Nearly two decades later, it should be clear to the opponents of militarism that the military-industrial complex does not walk alone. It has many partners: the nuclear-power complex, the technology-science complex, the energy-auto-highway complex, the banking-investment-housing complex, the city-planning-development-land-speculation complex, the agribusiness complex, the communications complex, and the enormous tangle of public bureaucracies and universities whose overt and secret services provide the foregoing with financial sustenance and a nurturing environment.2

The first [trend] is a slow and powerful drift toward greater concentration of power and wealth in a repressive Big Business-Big Government partnership. This drift leads down the road toward a new and subtly manipulative form of corporatist serfdom. The phrase “friendly fascism” helps distinguish this possible future from the patently vicious corporatism of classic fascism in the past of Germany, Italy and Japan. It also contrasts with the unfriendly present of the dependent fascisms propped up by the U.S. government in El Salvador, Haiti, Argentina, Chile, South Korea, the Philippines and elsewhere.3

[T]he emerging Big Business-Big Government partnership has a global reach. It is rooted in colossal transnational corporations and complexes that help knit together a “Free World” on which the sun never sets. These are elements of the new despotism.4

I am worried by those who fail to remember— or have never learned— that Big Business-Big Government partnerships, backed up by other elements, were the central facts behind the power structures of old fascism in the days of Mussolini, Hitler, and the Japanese empire builders.5

In the United States it points toward more concentrated, unscrupulous, repressive, and militaristic control by a Big Business-Big Government partnership that— to preserve the privileges of the ultra-rich, the corporate overseers, and the brass in the military and civilian order— squelches the rights and liberties of other people both at home and abroad. That is friendly fascism.6
Yes, folks, “friendly” is just another camouflage for death and destruction; and the paving ain't with tar!

Gaslighting* the Gaslighters

Here is a classic gaslight of a gaslight. What could the school powers possibly say so as not to offend or discriminate against this father's “lizard” daughter? How to hold true to the “new normal” of “identify as” in the face of such sincerity and family loyalty? How to respond publicly and politically correct (even to a possible spoof??!!) when some other school board has already accommodated children identifying as cats or dogs1 or when teacher sensitivity means being willing to speak the language of “meow, meow”?2


My daughter identifies as a Lizard
(Alex Stein | Jan 24, 2022 | Time 2:07) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ricRQzCkpCc
Other gaslighting scenes: https://www.youtube.com/c/AlexStein99/videos
----------------------------------------/
* Gaslighting is a colloquialism, loosely defined as making someone question their own reality.
The term may also be used to describe a person (a "gaslighter") who presents a false narrative to another group or person which leads them to doubt their perceptions and become misled (generally for the gaslighter's own benefit), disoriented or distressed. Generally, this dynamic is possible only when the audience is vulnerable, such as in unequal power relationships, or when the audience is fearful of the losses associated with challenging the false narrative. Gaslighting is not necessarily malicious or intentional, although in some cases it is. |  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting
