Make it Make Sense "Make it make sense", I said to myself, weeks into the Iran conflict. “Be careful what you ask for” is all I can say now lol. The world model described below has answered many questions for me, and confirmed the models I’ve arrived at by observing the precisely timed and repeated “crises” we’ve faced since 2001, but at the same time has left me even more black pilled about the role of government in our lives in the west. Recent geopolitical analyses by Simon Dixon are the closest I’ve found to making the high frequency narrative flip on the part of the American regime and news media regarding the Iran war make any sense, in my opinion. And it’s all about following capital flows, not news headlines. As Simon points out in many of his podcasts and interviews, this is not a war of nation vs nation. It is purely a war of rebalancing of world polarity and asset-stripping capability sharing between the three powers: the Financial Industrial Complex, China (as the dominant power) in cooperation with the Military Industrial Complex, and the Technological Industrial Complex, all of whom's goal is to asset strip the West and humanity in general, usher in an inescapable physical and financial surveillance state, and continue to create theatrical conflicts with real deaths and destruction to keep the military industrial complex fed. Looking at this as a war of nation vs nation for the first handful of weeks is the reason why my brain couldn't make sense of the constantly conflicting headlines. All of our governments are now puppets to corporations, the largest asset managers and sovereign wealth funds. It's why a vote for a leader in any western, supposedly democratic country hasn't mattered for over 50 years. It's the reason why despite who is in office, the same agendas we are resisting continue marching on. It's why none of the actions of the countries involved in this conflict have made sense for more than 24 hours at a time. The countries are all in bed together at the behest of the real power, the corporations and lobbies. It behooves all of us to give some serious thought to how to live outside of the current financial system so we can still live and conduct trade when the INDIVIDUAL sanctions start coming down on those who won't accept things like digital ID and biomedical ID's and social credit score based transaction ability. Build local community and communications capabilities. Acquire assets that can be transacted without third parties. And to as great a degree as possible, diversify your income streams to span things that can earn you value "in the system", as well as things that can't be taken away. It is easier said than done, particularly for those of us who are/were already somewhat trapped before coming to this stark realization. But it is the only possible escape for you and your offspring.

The biggest confirmation of what I’ve felt on this topic was Mallers’ comment on last Monday’s Mailbag about how crappy it was to drive a car again after relying on self driving to get around town for many months. View quoted note →

I realized during this vacation and some extended breaks from devices, just how much we deny ourselves the ability to really drill down into the things that occupy our mind, through the need to be constantly stimulated and constantly consuming new information online. View quoted note →

I’m convinced that greater use of reposting is the easiest way to grow this protocol. I’m going to make a point to quote and repost more. #grownostr

First feed of beet tops. My fave. Sautéed in butter with a bit of garlic salt and pepper, they are a tasty source of iron. #gardenstr
