Why are we so divided? Because we cannot talk anymore. But why can't we talk anymore?
Seven reasons for those empty seats at the Christmas table
We cannot “talk” anymore primarily because we simply no longer speak the same language. In Something Wicked This Way Comes: How Sowing Confusion about “Rights” is Summoning Chaos, I argued that the deliberate and systematic uncoupling between words and their meanings—especially key cultural and technical words—has fomented unprecedented social and political chaos.
For example, core words such as “right,”now have diametrically opposed and irreconcilable meanings. Real and fundamental rights (say, to free speech and informed consent) are being eliminated. And meanwhile, fake “rights” (say, the “right” to not be exposed to an unmasked/unvaxxed person) are proliferating.
The overall effect on the person and broader community is catastrophic. Increasingly, the population is being divided into warring camps. (Q: What happens historically when words can no longer connect and persuade? Answer: Violence, internment and genocide.) And by no means is any of this abating.
Here are seven (7) more reasons why we’re so divided. Why we cannot talk anymore And why we cannot simply “move beyond this.”
1. Because "it" cannot possibly be avoided.
We can avoid "it" for an exceedingly brief lunch or dinner, at best; probably not even that. But sooner or later—be it moments or a few short hours—“it" is going to crop up. Why? Because over the past century, the cultural marxists saturated virtually everything with their divisive and corrosive politics: healthcare, education, the weather (!), race, religion, art, sex, architecture, “gender”, science, language (now even pronouns), travel, “entertainment” (movies, tv, sports, and so on…) Virtually nothing that we can talk about remains untouched by it.
Now the truth is, I despise politics. And many of my compatriots do too. Indeed, that is one of the gifts of true conservatism: that we have private lives and realms that are valuable apart from all of this; and that there are enormous swaths of life—indeed the very best parts of life—that are not properly “political.”
But the cultural marxists didn't much like that. President Obama, for example, didn’t; and he articulated this over and over again as he worked to inject politics into every aspect of our world. (I know people who love the idea that everything is "political,” who admire countries where every single aspect of life is overrun with politics. Many of them are reading this essay: well, how do you like it now?)
By 2020, the saturation of the population with divisive politics and ideology went into a new and higher gear; which also meant gaslighting nearly the entire planet into accepting and absorbing engineered realities beyond “9/11” and “climate change”: (the 2020 and 2022 “elections,” Jan6 “events,” the “pandemic,” and the mRNA “vaccines.”)
The point of all of this, of course, is to weaken people, divide families and to control the population; and thereby to shackle the world with the fascist, authoritarian and technocratic new world order. And sadly, thus far it has been quite successful; and simply because so many are mindlessly cooperating with it.
2. Because at least half the population has been entrained to regard charts, graphs and data — and even “ studies” — as per se scientific “proof.”
(Because, you know, “ooooh, it looks so sciency”!)
In the minds of such people, all it takes is a sophisticated-looking, colorful graph from a big name organization; or a chart or even a bit of data; and this is considered in and of itself somehow to be “proof.” One can readily see this proclivity at work among the “climate change” alarmists.
But first of all: “proof” is properly the provenance of philosophy—and by extension logic and mathematics—and decidedly not science. So what they really mean is “evidence.” But by their misappropriation they have already revealed themselves.
Nevertheless, even on the loosest definition of scientific “evidence,” just because someone or some organization, no matter how prestigious, presents a chart or graph or data set as “evidence,” does not actually make it evidence.
To elaborate on this, here’s a key section from my forthcoming piece (due to be published here in the first quarter of 2023): Peer Review, the Nature of Evidence, and the Rise of Scientism.
What is “scientific evidence”? It isn't simply a graph. Or a chart. Or a data set. One of the strangest things of our time is the pervasive misconception of the nature of scientific evidence.
We often say: “the plural of anecdote isn't evidence.” And that is true. Or, “correlation isn't causation.” And strictly speaking that is true too. But most of us, especially in the general population, move on from these gnomic sayings and never obtain anything more than a superficial understanding of the nature of evidence; and fail to appreciate just how truly rare actual scientific evidence is.
Scientific evidence isn’t— and cannot be—a simple assertion, which is what these charts, graphs and data sets often, if not invariably, amount to. It is something hard won. It is something that has been corroborated by having survived a full and comprehensive vetting process, and not just by the circle of fawning acolytes in the “believing” community. And this process can take years, if not decades or even centuries.
3. Because at least half the population has been entrained to regard the words of “experts” as having the authority of evidence.
The entire Covid saga, from start to finish, is a prime example: why on earth did half the population believe any of it?
The burden was always on the Faucis of the world to provide evidence to support their claims. (And decidedly not on anyone else to lift a single finger to demonstrate the contrary. This “shifting of the burden” is a typically illogical and manipulative liberal-progressive ploy. Even many otherwise savvy Anons/Resisters fall for it.)
It is simply a fact that they never demonstrated any of it:
They failed to provide evidence that lockdowns and masks work.
Despite his public claims otherwise, Fauci still cannot (and now under oath) cite a single bit of evidence that masks or lockdowns work or have ever worked. And no one else can either.
They failed to provide evidence that there was actually a pandemic.
The burden was on them to demonstrate there was an actual pandemic; and they never did. They simply asserted that there was one; and merely simulated one via the PCR.
They failed to provide evidence that the mRNA “vaccines” were not only necessary but that they were actually “safe & effective”.
The mRNA "vaccines" were never actually and properly trialed; so when the media “operators” assured you that they were "safe and effective" they were lying to you.
And your doctor? Most doctors (not all) simply absorb and repeat narratives; that is what got them where they are now.
Remember when Fauci, the CDC, the WHO and the media operatives claimed that the “jab” would protect you 100%? Remember how that percent dropped every week and month? Until it became obvious that not only was there no reason to take them but there was every reason not to? Watch this short clip that documents this sad but predictable progression.
None of that^^was ever demonstrated via evidence. It was merely asserted via various “authority figures.” And half the world believed it and cooperated with it sans any genuine evidence whatsoever.
For example, why did anyone take the mRNA “vaccine”? Not because there was any evidence that it was necessary, safe and effective (it turned out to be none of these things). But because a perceived authority figure in the media told them it was. And that makes them pro-science? And skeptics who require evidence beyond the say-so of media operatives anti-science? Really?
If we’re going to inject the entire world’s population with a substance that permanently alters their immune systems, we need more than the “say so” of a handful of “experts.”
And now, many of the very same vax pushers—presumably now in damage control, at least for themselves—openly admit openly that much of this was a mistake. Dr. Deborah Birx, for example, said in July of 2022:
“I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection; and I think we overplayed these vaccines.”
But this was more than a “mistake.” And even more than a catastrophic error. It was a deliberate and coordinated crime against humanity and a war crime; the gravity of which we can hardly exaggerate. Operatives like Birx were just pawns.
Think about it: we have irrevocably altered the immune systems of half the world's population. And in ways we don’t truly undestand. The potential ramifications are hard to fathom.
4. Because at least half the population has been entrained to regard fascism (in all but name) as simple “practical” politics.
Fascism is essentially the fusion of State and private/corporate power via interlocking board membership. As I’ve argued extensively in my piece What is Fascism?, fascism became the norm of government in the US and elsewhere in the west by the mid-20th century::
Throughout WWII, Fascism was rapidly becoming the de facto mode of government in the west; in the US, for example, the mobilization of the nation for WWII meant the creation of an immense administrative state that—rather than seizing and controlling industries directly—worked through a complex of board membership to achieve proxy public control. This was even touted at the time as the future and ideal model of all governance; and as it was staffed by “experts” from academia, it was celebrated in universities and taught to generations of students.
That sprawling and complex administrative State—and the praxis of public control by proxy—became the permanent reality of post-WWII government in the US. Which also meant erroneously and radically “reinterpreting” the Constitution in accordance with these changes.
On the one hand, a caricature of fascism (via historical incidentals, such as goose stepping, jackboots, itty bitty moustaches, etc.) was held up for collective disapproval and even hatred.
But on the other hand, they celebrated its essence—public and private spheres in lockstep coordination and control by interlocking board membership, etc.—as an ideal model for governance, though under new name of Progressivism (a key term for them, along with “democracy.”)
By now, seemingly half the population has come to regard fascism (again, in all but name) as simply a practical way to get things "done.” The thinking and self-talk goes more or less like this (and I know because I’ve spent a good part of my life among the most prominent progressives of our time):
We create public-private partnerships via interlocking board membership across the world — and thereby move “experienced” and “knowledgeable” people in and out of public/private positions—in order to “get the things done that need to be done.” [You know, like mask and vaccine “mandates,” and ESG “requirements,” etc.]
But has it never occurred to these people that fascism “works” because it skirts the rule of law? Since no legislation has to be passed, policies that would otherwise never survive the legislative process are carried out directly by corporate powers. (Once again: you know, like mask and vaccine “mandates,” and ESG “requirements,” etc.)
And the irony is as subtle as a sledgehammer: it is precisely fascism’s administrative efficiency at implementing unpopular policies—though deemed necessary by unelected technocrats—that these professed celebrants of “democracy” value. (See DeepState operative Cass Sunstein’s Nudge for an example of this technocratic, authoritarian arrogance.)
And moreover, this fascism (under the guise of modern “progressivism”) appears unstoppable; it simply leaves no legal or practical footholds against which to launch an effective social, political or legal response
And if you bring up the concept of the “Rule of Law” to such people, they will scoff at it as a “useful fiction.” Just like those climate models.
Such is how far we have strayed—among the pawns, mostly unwittingly—from basic principles of constitutional republican government into authoritarian, fascist technocracy.
5. Because we cannot “move on from this” until there is an actual apology for what has been done.
Apology for what? For ignoring, explaining away, and even applauding War Crimes & Crimes Against Humanity against the population.
The real question is: will those who cooperated be able to forgive themselves for what they have done? For allowing harm to themselves and our children? And for aiding and abetting planetary, technocratic fascism on a scale and scope never before dreamed?
And more specifically—and to the degree it applies to you personally—among the possibilites are:
For psychologizing and even pathologizing and criminalizing our dissent;
For demanding the negation of our fundamental and inalienable right to Informed Consent;
For demanding that we wear masks to imitate your irrationality;
For demanding that we too harm our bodies with a dangerous compounds never shown to be necessary, safe or effective;
For failing to stand up against the systematic and publicly-funded censorship that we have endured for years and even decades;
For celebrating the deaths of the unvaxxed;
For ignoring and explaining away the far greater injuries and deaths of the vaxxed;
For cooperating in the masking and lockdown of the entire planet and the inevitable destruction of wealth, families and businesses;
For masking and “vaxxing” children, who have zero risk profile, zero say in any of this, and require our protection;
For ignoring and not speaking out when babies and children were being taken from their parents;
For ignoring and not speaking out against verbal and physical abuse and assault against dissenters in every community worldwide;
For ignoring and not speaking out against the widespread and horrifying atrocities against dissenters committed worldwide by law enforcement and military.
Forgiveness can only conceivably happen when there is an actual apology, which to be actual must include::
An articulated understanding of what you have done;
An expressed contrition for it;
And a request for forgiveness.
Until then, all we can do is forgive you in the eyes of God. We cannot otherwise forgive you personally; it would be an impossibility.
The demand to “forgive and forget” without a true apology—now being seen across the globe, such as the recent piece in The Atlantic—is precisely what serial abusers do.
They gaslight and demand forgiveness of those they have abused without actually apologizing; in this case, demanding that we “forgive and forget” and asking “why can’t we move beyond this” and erroneously asserting “hey, it’s Christian to forgive, no?” Et cetera. Pure gaslighting.
But of course, just as with the serial abuser, no actual apologies will ever be forthcoming.
Why? Because they aren’t really sorry. And they have no real intention of stopping.
6. Because evidently none of this is going to stop.
Just to note a few very current examples:
The “Tripledemic” propaganda is in high gear: The media is currently doing its best to create a hysteria about the possibility of another pandemic: a worldwide “tripledemic,” whereby “covid,” flu and “respiratory syncytial virus” (RSV) somehow “collide” and “combine.” (This simply isn’t how viruses work; but of course none of this was ever about science and reality. It’s always been about creating realities to control the population.)
Monthly Vaccination Schedules are being planned: The WHO/CDC will eventually require “vaccinations” every month or so for anyone to be “up-to-date.” Otherwise, you will not only not be able to work, travel (see next bullet point), go to school; your credit cards won’t work; your bank accounts will be remotely fined; and your world increasingly contracted. That is, until you comply. And the Digital ID and CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) are coming next to institute a global Social Credit Score. In other words, we are to emulate China’s “social credit” system, which is a preview and model for the coming global technocratic fascism.
Permanent Vaccination Passports are coming: when we first sounded the alarm about “Vax Passports” 2 years ago, it was dismissed and even mocked as a “conspiracy theory.” But then—remember?—some basic ones were put into place. But these measures were only a brief preview of what is coming.
A bit more about those Permanent Vaccination Passports.
On 15-16 November 2022, G20 leaders signed a join declaration to adopt “vaccine passports” in order to “facilitate” all international travel.
Which the White House duly confirmed shortly thereafter.
This will mean that you and your children—if you wish to travel—will have to inject whatever the WHO decides. Soon that will be true also with purchasing, banking, eating, going to school, and working.
(Hey “Normies,” reality starting to sink in yet?)
7. Because while love and truth unite, hatred and lies divide.
Hatred and lies all stem from the same source. The word diabolos means to “throw apart” or “to scatter.”
And not only families and communities. Evil effectuates the disintegration of the individual persons too. This is why Tolkien’s Golem—who lusts after the evil and powerful ring he calls “precious”—invariably refers to himself in the plural: “We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us.”
I am not the only one who has noticed this disintegration of personality; many in the resist-the-NWO community as well have noted how their “vaccinated” friends, families and acquaintances seem quite different from how they used to be. Their personalities seem less sharply composed; they seem almost weirdly and even pathologically passive to—and even unaware of—what is happening around them.
Evil splits apart, scatters and weakens. It divides and subdivides. And still further divides.
Concluding thoughts: Given all this, how can we possibly “break bread” together?
Roughly half the globe’s population are cooperating with evil. And yet are unreachable by reason and evidence.
And the reason is simple: they have been programmed. How else can we possibly explain how billions of people allowed themselves (and their children) to be injected with something never demonstrated to be necessary, safe or effective?
And their programming is most evident especially when one attempts to point out the blindingly obvious. For example, how despite being “fully vaccinated” they appear to still be getting “covid,” even at far higher rates than their unvaxxed counterparts (if we trust the PCR tests); or say, they find themselves unaccountably injured or have a serious and otherwise unexplained illness….
…and their response to all that? They invariably repeat in verbatim language:
“..but you know, I am so grateful for these vaccines; it could have been a lot worse.”
(Similar to how so many repeat verbatim after an alleged mass shooting “he was a loner who kept to himself.”)
Yes, I suppose the “vaccines”—which offer no protection against anything whatsoever and aren’t even necessary in the first place—could have killed you as they have many others. True, it could have been much worse. So there’s that. (But also remember, permanent injury may not be immediately evident.)
In other words, and as I have argue elsewhere, they are in a cult. Which also means that they are cooperating with, and aiding and abetting, what they cannot possibly understand.
Which means they cannot see what is actually happening right in front of their eyes. Their behavior fits exactly every definition of a cult. They are being manipulated by psychopaths who are shaping and leveraging groupthink to control the population.
And yet, the stakes could not possibly be higher: humanity is at a cross roads.
They are building a global nightmare society—the so-called “new world order”—run by unelected and unaccountable technocratic psychopaths. The governing mode is global technocratic fascism; and the governing religion is scientism.
So how can we possibly—without encountering “it” in short order—sit around and casually “talk” together?
And “it” is irreconcilable. Either I am indeed an anti-science and irresponsible zealot who is a danger to the people around me for refusing to “mask’ or “get the shot.” Or, you are an anti-science and mindless zealot who is aiding and abetting the rise of global technocratic totalitarianism. At least one of us is wrong. And with consequences that are difficult to exaggerate.
The Christmas tables around the world indeed have empty places. So did our Thanksgiving tables. So will our Easter tables.
What is the way out of this? And when—or even how—does it stop?
Early in 2023, I will be updating Breaking the Spell of the Warlocks: The 11.11.18 Decode & the Counterinsurgency Operation. Since I wrote that piece in May 2022—read by tens of thousands around the planet—events have only confirmed my conviction that we are truly in the midst of a massive Counterinsurgency, elements of which are just now coming into public view.
I have no doubt in my mind that the minds of most the world are going to be blown. This will come to an end. And we will be together again.
*****
May I leave you with a quotation from St. Augustine?
“As the stars keep on their course in the track marked out for them by God, and grow not tired of sending forth their light in the midst of darkness, neither heed they the calamities which may be happening on earth; so should do those holy ones whose conversation is truly in heaven [nostra autem conversatio in caelis est, Phil. 3:20]; they should pay no more attention to what is being said or done against them, than the stars do.” (Enarratio in psalmum xciii)
In spite of all of this chaos, suffering, and evil, let us never give up; let us remember that the stars shine brightest at the darkest hour.
We will prevail. Truth will prevail. Because it always does.
Let us work as if everything depends upon us; and let us pray as if everything depends upon God.
May you and yours have a very Merry Christmas.
And in the words of Tiny Tim: “God bless us, every one!"
David
P.S., passing strange, isn’t it?
