WWIII more imminent than it was before, some believe.
When Terence McKenna said the culture is not your friend, I think he meant that the culture can blind you to base layer objective reality — like rooting for a football team long past its statistical prime out of sentimentality alone, you begin to believe the cheerleaders’ drumbeat as tally score, when it’s not necessarily at all.
So it’s like this: something valuable was coming out of Ukraine, or else US/EU globo inheritor vampire weirdo elites wouldn’t be so keen on protecting it, at literally all costs. More than a half trillion dollars officially spent on Ukraine protection so far.
What that is… who knows.
Maybe it is just maintenance of the Europe border line, for sure. NATO requires that.
But I dunno — the Ketel One conspiracist in me thinks something big is afoot. We’re living inside the Death Star, which is why we don’t sense any Death Star injustices. Alderaan’s d-day is just another Tuesday or Friday for us on America’s east coast, living in the shadow of the Pentagon and Wall Street.
Everyone was weird and jittery today, I mean super fucking weird especially near the Beltway… biggest employers around here are the Navy, DoD, and various defense connected contracting firms.
What information are they chewing on that they don’t like?
If self preservation was a priority, I’d be moving inland now, rather than maintaining my perch right outside of DC on the water.
But like that scene in Game of Thrones where the one guy sees a volley of sharpened arrows headed his way, but instead of cowering, he smiles and opens his arms bravely to greet the arrows — and not one grazes him, as they befall his peers and land all around him.
The Red God favors him, as he often does the brave.
So I’ll stick around. I shouldn’t even be inland, Europe would be safer. Gosh, anyway, hope I’m wrong.
Jittery defense contractors, Russia needs to notch a win to prevent further outflows from their 3rd tier empire, Musk sharing he helped foil an attack against the Russians (to hedge his future if Russia wins), nationwide payment processor outages “without explanation” according to security researchers — it could all, admittedly, be nothing.
Onward, into the fog,
