Will Blockchain be the Printing Press of the State-Corporate Church?

Paul Collier November 8, 2021

We are all experiencing a lot of uncertainty and loss during these troubling times as our own government here in America begins to target American parents for resisting the wrong approach to combatting racism (mainly, by perpetuating it). We live in times when our own government is fighting in the courts to acquire the power to force Americans to get jabs or lose jobs.

The ability of those on the top of the power pyramid to control narrative has never been more powerful in human history than it is right now. The consolidation of most of our major commerical, cultural, and social institutions seems all but assured, as the aggressive ‘left’ infiltrated and shut the door behind them wherever they went.

But fret not, friends, for right before the leviathon known as the Catholic Church of Western Europe was splintered into a reformational splintering of priestly power it was at the height of power and held the most amount of control across Western Europe than it ever had up until its fall, which we’ll loossely date to the 16th century. The printing press did in the central power of Rome, which relied on its exclusive access to the Word of God in the Vulgate Bible, the Latin translation from the Septuaginate translated by Jerome near the end of the 4th Century.

After the West received Hebrew and Greek texts from the East, partially through Muslims and partially through the Byzantines, even before Martin Luther printing presses were cranking out books of the bible in native languages translated from Greek and Hebrew texts older than the Latin Vulgate itself.

From Wycliffe in the 14th Century with his Lollards, who translated the New Testament from the Latin to English, said his plowmen with bibles printed on secret printing presses knew more about the scriptures than the priests did. He wasn’t wrong.

The center of power was unable to contain the free flow of priestly power, a high commodity in those days. Most people still overwhelmingly lived spread out in the countryside, so coercive power was largely a matter of willing submission to a presumed divine authority that alone could wield such power over others. That power was priestly power.

Today, the state controls us through a new priest, our reliance for products and services from a select few centers of power, be they the state or the corporation, both of which have a love-hate relationship that mostly comes together when assuring no competition rises from amongst the poors for the seats of power in either sphere.

Vitalik Burtin is hoping to combat this new priest in our lives by offering potential uses for blockchain technology that could enable communities at micro-scales to self-govern efficiently. The most ambitious proposal is to design cities around crypto-technologies. For now, some of these projects are already being experimented with governments that still rely mostly on our dependence on these monpolistic providers of human services, in a manner of speaking, but so was the printing press first used by the powers that be, but yet could not be contained.

Vitalik might be testing the bounds of self-governance technology, but he’s also hinting at something that others have suggested is possible, the creation of whole new notions of product and value for product through the new properties inherint in blockchain technology. NFTs are one of the earliest unexpected product with value to emerge from the unique properties of blockchain.

For those who fear automization of the work that grinds bones, you might be comforted in the notion that unexpected opportunites for ‘work’ that pays is sure to emerge, not just from blockchain but many other emerging techs as well. Who knows what unexpected products with value will emerge from the unique properties of reliable, cost-effective quantum computers?

But byeyond this news blurb about Vitalik Buterin’s push to expand blockchain’s usefulenss to empower self-governance, there are other technologies that we reguarly follow here on the Freedomist that also create more printing press threats to the powers that be.

The Catholic Church of the Middle Ages had to contest with the printing press. The powers that be of today have to contend with blockchain, mesh communications, 3d printing, aquaponics, nanotechnology, and more. Just within the 3D printing category there are numerous longterm threats to containing the access to these technologies that, despite all of your IP Laws, will not be contained where the necessity to avoid tyranny emerges.

The harder they press us, the more innovative we get, and the world is our oyster as far as the technologies available to us today to build among the Empire our own safe havens where a Bill of Rights people can live free.

I’ve long hoped blockchain tech is going to be used for the kind of things Vitalik Buterin is talking about here. My problem with the current blockchain world is that it is absolutely overrun with get-rich-quick Ponzi scheme merchants. Blockchain badly need a not-for-profit sector. The global Green movement is dominated by not-for-profit NGO’s and they have done enormous transformative work on a global scale.

Please reply to OP’s comment here: r/Futurology/comments/qotpci/vitalik_buterin_the_founder_of_ethereum_explores/hjp6jrk/

From the statement being discussed:

One interesting trend of the last year has been the growth of interest in local government, and in the idea of local governments that have wider variance and do more experimentation. Over the past year, Miami mayor Francis Suarez has pursued a Twitter-heavy tech-startup-like strategy of attracting interest in the city, frequently engaging with the mainstream tech industry and crypto community on Twitter. Wyoming now has a DAO-friendly legal structure, Colorado is experimenting with quadratic voting, and we’re seeing more and more experiments making more pedestrian-friendly street environments for the offline world. We’re even seeing projects with varying degrees of radicalness – Cul de sac, Telosa, CityDAO, Nkwashi, Prospera and many more – trying to create entire neighborhoods and cities from scratch.

Another interesting trend of the last year has been the rapid mainstreaming of crypto ideas such as coins, non-fungible tokens and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). So what would happen if we combine the two trends together? Does it make sense to have a city with a coin, an NFT, a DAO, some record-keeping on-chain for anti-corruption, or even all four? As it turns out, there are already people trying to do just that:

CityCoins.co, a project that sets up coins intended to become local media of exchange, where a portion of the issuance of the coin goes to the city government. MiamiCoin already exists, and “San Francisco Coin” appears to be coming soon.

Other experiments with coin issuance (eg. see this project in Seoul)

Experiments with NFTs, often as a way of funding local artists. Busan is hosting a government-backed conference exploring what they could do with NFTs.

Reno mayor Hillary Schieve’s expansive vision for blockchainifying the city, including NFT sales to support local art, a RenoDAO with RenoCoins issued to local residents that could get revenue from the government renting out properties, blockchain-secured lotteries, blockchain voting and more.

Much more ambitious projects creating crypto-oriented cities from scratch: see CityDAO, which describes itself as, well, “building a city on the Ethereum blockchain” – DAOified governance and all.

GOP Own Goal Gives Biden Epic Pork Barrel Trillion Dollar Victory

Paul Collier November 8, 2021

Media Analysis

What happens just after the Republicans get a stunning across the board victory in Virginia, turning the state Red overnight? What happens just after the GOP sees the Democrats BARELY hold on to the New Jersey Governorship? What happens when the New Jersey Senate President loses to a candidate that spent less than $200 on his campaign?

What happens when Biden’s approval rating are tanking and the GOP leads in every major issues category in confidence by double digits?

What happens is a number of GOP House Members and GOP Senators go along with the Democrats and award them with a major policy victory whose power, in the form of over $1 trillion magic mostly digitial dollars as far as we’re all concerned that will create and empower whole Democrat-direct-and-adjacent centers of power for a decade or more to come.

The GOP did this to assure that the press wouldn’t treat them bad, no doubt, and accuse them of being meanie heads to the poors and the planets what needs our trillions here and now. My inner GOP voice is glitching out again, as you can clearly read from the previous sentence. But I should be forgiven in that my inability to make sense of the motivations of people who call themselves GOP is only compounding itself with this latest accomplishment by the GOP, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and own that L as if they were the ones that just lost a significant state to the Democrats and THEIR President’s approval ratings were in the toilet.

But I digress. Back to the plan. Here’s what’s next, according to CNBC-

Here’s a few key points to take away from this little blurb-

“transportation, broadband and utilities” – the Bill has far more reaching consequences than these rather inocuous labels themselves,

“fulfills one part of President Joe Biden‘s domestic vision” – The GOP gave that PR sentence to the doddering Biden, and they did it to get along in DC, at the end of the day, and New York, and California, where all the powerful like to dance and sing behind closed doors where masks are absent except on the faces of the hired poors that serve their victuals to them on silver platters.

The machine knows no mercy, and thus has chosen to take this opportunity to spike the GOP-enabled football by using it tease rising GOP star Ron DeSantis right in his own state with an accusation of being for the dumbs, as this article would have you believe in between the implication of its tones.

Ron DeSantis disses federal infrastructure bill, but state will benefit

Excerpt:

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday criticized the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework President Joe Biden will sign into law this week, alluding to “pork barrel spending” and again overstating the case against an obscure study tucked away into the legislation.

The Governor, who was in Zephyrhills with legislative leadership reasserting stands against vaccine and mask mandates ahead of Special Session next week, offered to local media what seemed to be surface-level critiques of the latest tranche of federal spending from Democratic-controlled Washington DC.

“So, um, I think it was a lot of pork barrel spending from what I could tell,” DeSantis said, not offering specifics.

Read Full Article

Here is the key passage where the subterfuge lies and news becomes coercive agit prop-

“offered to local media what seemed to be surface-level critiques of the latest tranche of federal spending from Democratic-controlled Washington DC.” – This presupposes that DeSantis is wrong in why he would call it what he called it (no spoilers). The assumption is the description could not be accurate if he would have actually read the bill. He must be a big dumb doo doo head.

In the quote here, the editorial term added to an alleged straight news piece is “not offering specifics.” This is again to reinforce the previous underlying tone of DeSantis not really knowing what he is talking about.

“So, um, I think it was a lot of pork barrel spending from what I could tell,” DeSantis said, not offering specifics.

The presupposition is that DeSantis could not have come to the conclusion, after either reading it or getting briefed from those who had read it, that the now-passed bill is anything but pork barrel spending.. The article goes on to site the fact that Florida itself will get some of this pork barrel spending as some sort of rebuke to DeSantis’ claim that the bill is, in fact, pork barrel spending.

How do our corporate powers that be like this pork barrel spending bill? (See what I’m doing here by just calling it a pork barrel spending bill is a version of what we in the sales biz call ‘assuming the sale,’ talk as if it’s a done deal, or, in this instance, like the nature of the bill being a pork barrel spending bill being a matter of fact by the very way in which I deliver it as a matter of fact. This is a favorite tactic of the agit prop partisans of the DNC.)

Well, the corporate powers that be LOVE a bit of that pork barrel spendking, and we can see that in the following news blurbs.

Experimenting with Kids for the Good of the Whole?

Paul Collier November 5, 2021

The push to make our children guinea pigs by forcing them to get vaccines to ‘protect’ them from a virus that offers little to no threat to them is becoming harder and harder to justify as more and more studies come in that show the claims these controllers are making aren’t reflected in the science. Children are not at high risk.

Children that are vaccinated are almost as likely as unvaccinated kids to spread the virus, even if they never get sick from it. Finally, the examples of other schools that stayed open with unmasked and unvaccinated kids also fails to support the alarmist claims of these controllers.

These are just some of the reasons why we must resist the call to mandate vaccines for our children, let alone mandating them to wear masks at school.

From doctorsandscientistsdeclaration.org – Vaccinating Children Means Unnecessary Risks

The CDC itself is reporting that a total of 680 children between the ages of 0-18 have died as a result of getting Covid, starting in January of 2020 and up to October 31st, 2021. Data on what the vaccine might do to children will be a long time coming, as it is difficult initially to attribute a health event after receiving the vaccine to the vaccine itself. Longterm effects are most profoundly to be experienced by children, and the longterm effects of these vaccines simply cannot be known until long terms have passed.

Given the uncertainty of the nature of the vaccines themselves, it seems extremely counter-intuitive to mandate children be forced to get a vaccine, even against the child’s, and even the parents’ wills, given the uncertainty of the vaccines effects longterm and the extremely low risk of harm to children as a result of even getting the vaccine in the first place.

Two researchers examined the question of why children seemed to be so less affected than adults when infected with COVID-19. Before they could begin their study, they had to study the statistics to determine first of all if this were even true. The statistics backed up the assumption far more than they imagined it would. In the end, they determined that, as of now, no one fully understands why COVID-19 has such little affect on children and why it spikes in severity of effect on adults from 60, where the spike starts, to 70, where it more gradually increases with age once again.

Why is COVID-19 less severe in children? A review of the proposed mechanisms underlying the age-related difference in severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections, Petra Zimmermann, Nigel Curtis

In summary, the observation that, compared with other respiratory viruses, children have less severe symptoms when infected by SARS-CoV-2 is surprising and not yet understood. Furthermore, it is also uncertain why children with the usual risk factors for infections, such as immunosuppression, are not at high risk for severe COVID-19, while previously healthy children can on rare occasions become severely ill.110–113 222 Although there are several hypotheses for why children are less affected by COVID-19, with the notable exception of age-related changes in immune and endothelial/clotting function, most do not explain the observed age-gradient in COVID-19 with severity and mortality rising steeply after the age of 60 to 70 years. Unravelling the mechanisms underlying the age-related differences in the severity of COVID-19 will provide important insights and opportunities for the prevention and treatment of this novel infection.

If the virus is not at risk for children, then children carrying COVID-19 can still be at risk of spreading the virus to their more vulnerable family members. But children who have been vaccinated are also contagious carriers of the Coronavirus, even if they experience no symptoms. This is what a study funded in part by the CDC itself is suggesting.

The SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant might cause high viral loads, is highly transmissible, and contains mutations that confer partial immune escape ^1,2. Outbreak investigations suggest that vaccinated persons can spread Delta ^3,4. We compared RT-PCR cycle threshold (Ct) data from 699 swab specimens collected in Wisconsin 29 June through 31 July 2021 and tested with a qualitative assay by a single contract laboratory. Specimens came from residents of 36 counties, most in southern and southeastern Wisconsin, and 81% of cases were not associated with an outbreak. During this time, estimated prevalence of Delta variants in Wisconsin increased from 69% to over 95%. Vaccination status was determined via self-reporting and state immunization records

Read the full abstract

Sweden kept their schools open for the end of the school year in 2020 and provided, as a result, a study of the results of having children unvaccinated and unmasked at schools. The study shows that during that 6 month period there were less than 30 teachers who suffered any severe reaction to COVID per every 103,596 schoolteachers. Of the children themselves, there were only 15 children that suffered any severe reaction to Covid, with no deaths reported.

If Sweden’s numbers are accurate, ths paints a damning portrait for those that support mandatory maskings and vaccinations of our American children. Once again, the threat does not merit the level of coercion the state wishes to force on a free people in a Bill of Rights land, a land not ruled by ‘the experts’ or bureaucrats, but by the people.

Open Schools, Covid-19, and Child and Teacher Morbidity in Sweden, Jonas F. Ludvigsson, Lars Engerström, Charlotta Nordenhäll, Emma Larsson

Data from the Public Health Agency of Sweden (published report⁵ and personal communication) showed that fewer than 10 preschool teachers and 20 schoolteachers in Sweden received intensive care for Covid-19 up until June 30, 2020 (20 per 103,596 schoolteachers, which is equal to 19 per 100,000). As compared with other occupations (excluding health care workers), this corresponded to sex- and age-adjusted relative risks of 1.10 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.49 to 2.49) among preschool teachers and 0.43 (95% CI, 0.28 to 0.68) among schoolteachers (see the Supplementary Appendix).

The present study had some limitations. We lacked data on household transmission of Covid-19 from schoolchildren, and the 95% confidence intervals for our results are wide.

Despite Sweden’s having kept schools and preschools open, we found a low incidence of severe Covid-19 among schoolchildren and children of preschool age during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Among the 1.95 million children who were 1 to 16 years of age, 15 children had Covid-19, MIS-C, or both conditions and were admitted to an ICU, which is equal to 1 child in 130,000.

Why People Who Had Covid-19 Might Not Need the Vaccines

Paul Collier November 4, 2021

There is a case to be made for many people, for various reasons, to consider not taking one of the Covid-19 vaccines currently being offered, or, unfortunately, in many cases, being made mandatory. For instance, the people who have already been infected with Covid-19 might be the ones least in need of getting the vaccine, next to, perhaps our children under the age of 13.

One study suggests that the effective memory of Covid-19 in people who have had the virus is 93 percent at 6 months, and 92 percent at one year/ This study offers more evidence that catching the virus is an effective immunization and therapeutic potency that matches or exceeding vaccination levels perhaps for longer periods of times without additional risk to the person or to anyone else around them.

SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibodies, and also NAb can persist among over 95% COVID-19 convalescents from 6 months to 12 months after disease onset. At least 19/71 (26%) of COVID-19 convalescents (double positive in ELISA and MCLIA) had detectable circulating IgM antibody against SARS-CoV-2 at 12m post-disease onset. Notably, the percentages of convalescents with positive SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses (at least one of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen S1, S2, M and N protein) were 71/76 (93%) and 67/73 (92%) at 6m and 12m, respectively. Furthermore, both antibody and T-cell memory levels of the convalescents were positively associated with their disease severity.

Results SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold (95% CI, 4.85 to 7.33) increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold (95% CI, 5.51 to 9.21) increased risk for symptomatic disease.

Necessity of COVID-19 vaccination in previously infected individuals, Nabin K. Shrestha, Patrick C. Burke, Amy S. Nowacki, Paul Terpeluk, Steven M. Gordon

Results Among the 52238 included employees, 1359 (53%) of 2579 previously infected subjects remained unvaccinated, compared with 22777 (41%) of 49659 not previously infected. The cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection remained almost zero among previously infected unvaccinated subjects, previously infected subjects who were vaccinated, and previously uninfected subjects who were vaccinated, compared with a steady increase in cumulative incidence among previously uninfected subjects who remained unvaccinated. Not one of the 1359 previously infected subjects who remained unvaccinated had a SARS-CoV-2 infection over the duration of the study. In a Cox proportional hazards regression model, after adjusting for the phase of the epidemic, vaccination was associated with a significantly lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among those not previously infected (HR 0.031, 95% CI 0.015 to 0.061) but not among those previously infected (HR 0.313, 95% CI 0 to Infinity).

Conclusions Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before.

Longitudinal analysis shows durable and broad immune memory after SARS-CoV-2 infection with persisting antibody responses and memory B and T cells, Kristen W. Cohen, Susanne L. Linderman, Zoe Moodie, Julie Czartoski, Lilin Lai, Grace Mantus, Carson Norwood, Lindsay E. Nyhoff, Venkata Viswanadh Edara, et al.

Ending the COVID-19 pandemic will require long-lived immunity to SARS-CoV-2. We evaluated 254 COVID-19 patients longitudinally from early infection and for eight months thereafter and found a predominant broad-based immune memory response. SARS-CoV-2 spike binding and neutralizing antibodies exhibited a bi-phasic decay with an extended half-life of >200 days suggesting the generation of longer-lived plasma cells. In addition, there was a sustained IgG+ memory B cell response, which bodes well for a rapid antibody response upon virus re-exposure. Polyfunctional virus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were also generated and maintained with an estimated half-life of 200 days. Interestingly, the CD4+ T cell response equally targeted several SARS-CoV-2 proteins, whereas the CD8+ T cell response preferentially targeted the nucleoprotein, highlighting the importance of including the nucleoprotein as a potential vaccine antigen. Taken together, these results suggest that broad and effective immunity may persist long-term in recovered COVID-19 patients.

A Theory on the Reality of Power, Actiune Baza

Paul Collier November 2, 2021

Introduction

Life is restrained by Death.

Life is about avoiding death, and thus remaining even more profoundly restrained by it.

Life is action, and the base of action, Actiune Baza, is apex existentialism, the pursuit of being the is, was, and always will be.

So many great philosophies and religions are built on an assumption of what humans should be, with hardly any of them asking this question, why do humans act? This is what I hope to do, ask the question, why do humans act?

So long as we’re going to build human zoos, we should at least ask the question, why do humans act, to build habitats that allow humans to be what they are, not what others believe they should be. To that end, I have developed this general notion, so far, of the answer to the question, why do humans act. It’s in pursuit of the apex existential, without which humans would not act all, and life without action is death.

The Start of Action

The first mover of action is the perception of the self within the non-self in potential apex existentiality, the pursuit of becoming and being the height of existential excellence across the three frames of existentiality, the ideational, the genetic (socio-cultural and more), and the physiological.

This is the Actiune Baze, base of action, the self’s perception of the apex existential within compelling it to action through the mind-body biofeedback network.

Power as the Creator and Consequence of Action

The self is born into a range of potential apex existentialities that is altered as the self perceives interaction with non-selfness. The perception of power is the fundamental editor of the self’s apex existential adjustments.

Power is the perceived ability to influence action and the perceived consequence of the exchange of action. There are three types of power, coercive, co-operative (indirect coercive, offers slightly more choices), and consensual (win-win action exchange). Each type of power can operate within any of the three frames of existentiality, the ideational, the genetic, and the physiological.

Vehicles of Power

Humans build patterns of action regulation through vehicles of power, such as religions and political ideologies.

The self is born into pre-existing vehicles of power that become part of its perception of non-selfness, potentially threatening its apex existentiality or giving it opportunity to enter into the narratives that the self perceives will give it opportunity to build non-self affirmation of its apex existentiality.

Perception is Memory, Life is Memory

The self perceives quantumly (perception of all points at once in non-verbal sense), observationally (point by point perception that can be translated to a verbal language), and heuristically (acting without observational or quantum presuppositioning) its self in interaction with the non-self.

Perception is memory, there is no present. Perception is the prehension of memories of the past and portending memories of the potential futures. Memory cannot be sustained that does not prehend the past and portend the future, though memory can be lost even when it contains both potentials within it.

Life is Memory. Life is a competition for memory that affirms the is, was, and always will be of apex existentiality the self is calibrated to perceive it is.

The Mind-Body Biofeedback Network

The Self is calibrated by the mind-body biofeedback network. The mind is not limited to the brain, but rather it exists throughout the body, and the line between mind and body may often be blurred. The self perceives, successfully builds a memory and preserves it, an event that affirms the apex existential within, and the mind-body send signals to the self, quantumly, observationally, and heuristically.

These signals are most often described as feelings, from love to determination, from fear to enthusiasm. These feelings, biofeedback signals, reinforce or discourage the perceptions we hold.

Will to Perception versus Reality of Power

Where the will to perceive cannot overcome the reality of power, the is that is, though it be beyond our exacting understanding, the self begins to modify its apex existential within.

As the self perceives limitation or liberty, being bound or unbound in their apex existential pursuits, the self modifies the apex existential parameters, following a multiplicity of potential apex existential paths. This is done to allow the self to build memories that the mind-body can reward the self for having.

Direct v Vicarious

The first division in pursuit of the apex existential is in the direct or vicarious pursuit of apex existentiality. As the self loses heuristic hope of attaining an apex existentiality, the self is offered the option of becoming a supporter of some other that is able to pursue the apex existentiality the self cannot.

(Note: It is my current theory that changes to the perception of power and apex existentiality can only occur if they become part of the self’s heuristic assumptions, the unobservable part of the self.)

Most of us choose the vicarious path when dealing with the most potential apex existential of all of creation, such as being a living god walking the lands in real time, or being the heavyweight champion of the world in boxing.

Whether your apex existential pursuit is vicarious or direct, these next two divisions apply to both.

Certainty versus Uncertainty

Certainty is the default for all apex existential pursuits. As the self perceives limitation at the heuristic level, the self might choose to modify their pursuit by developing a pursuit of knowing that is never to be fulfilled, that must allow for uncertainty to be present in almost every thought taken captive.

Fulfilled versus Unfulfillabe

The notion of pursuit without expected fruition is the underlying assumption that also leads to the next division, the fulfillment of the pursuit versus the pursuit of the unfulfillable, fulfilment versus unfulfillment.

The Consensual Path

The self that becomes led, whether it be directly or vicariously, by the unfillable in terms of knowing with certainty and completing the apex existentiality in the here or now, becomes consensually anchored in how they utilize their own personal power.

The Coercive Path

The self that becomes led, whether it be directly or vicariously, by the fulfillable in terms of knowing with certainty and completing the existentiality in the here and now, becomes coercively anchored in how they utilize their own personal power.

The former needs no threat of harm to be internally compelled to act consensually, while the latter merely needs to perceive they will suffer no immediate consequence either because they won’t get caught or their power advantage over the other allows them to act with impunity.

How to become Consensually-Mind-Bodied –

The self that is aware of its own death, its own sins, its own need for others, will develop the apex existential pursuits that produce consensual exchange, not resting in certainty or hoping in final culmination. From this, consensual vehicles of power will emerge from the necessity of humans in pursuit of apex existentialities that make such vehicles of power necessary.

Life is restrained by death, but we need not fear it.
Life is hemmed in by uncertainty, but we need not be bound by it,
Life is constrained by the Unfulfillable, but we need not be devasted by it.

Meet the Eco-Right, Ready to Save the Planet AND the Individual

Paul Collier November 1, 2021

From Freedomist.com

The issue of global warming as a man-made or nature made phenomena, or even the issue of whether global warming is happening at all, is not necessarily so clearly a left-right issue. At some point, even amidst the dross of bad biased studies and reporting, the truth will out in the scientific community, so much so that people with conservative values are tackling with the problem of global warming as a manmade event as an opportunity to demonstrate the advantages of developing solutions rooted in individual and local rights versus the top-down ideological ‘solutions’ that are currently being offered by the left.

But it’s not just global warming, it’s the notion of being in harmony with the environment, of taking care of the land we live in, of building in sustainable ways with our local environmental reality, that all of these ideas or suppositions are actually better reflected and achieved through conservative, not progressive values.

A whole new movement has emerged that struggles for a label, but, for now, is called simly the eco-right.

From Capitalresearch.org

Rise of the Eco-Right

This is the plight of the “eco-Right,” our name for the few dozen lobbying, litigation, and activist nonprofits that identify themselves as free market or broadly right-of-center and yet are attempting to rebrand environmentalism and global warming ideology as conservative values. In the process, they are threatening to undermine both affordable energy in America and the future of the conservative movement.

The Capital Research Center broke the news on the liberal mega-donors secretly bankrolling leading members of the eco-Right as well as the carbon taxes and other burdensome regulations they propose. In this report, we’ve compiled years of research and reporting to reveal the funders, leadership, and lobbying of the eco-Right, exposing a web of overlapping boards and shared donors—all in service to a destructive and misleading agenda.

Our aim is to equip the reader with the basic tools to understand these groups and their goals so that no one is fooled into believing that consensus-driven science and alarmism are conservative values, however they’re presented.

How Anti-Bill of Rights Race Bait Groups Are Leading Biden’s Race Agenda

Paul Collier November 1, 2021

As soon as President Biden took office, he moved immediately to remove protection from children against abuse at the hands of leftist-ideologicial ‘teachings’ such as Critical Race Theory that former President Donald J Trump had put in place using executive orders.

The agenda of CRT, whatever it might actually be, is driven by groups in the background with openly leftist, marxist, communist, and antifa ties. One group, Teaching for Change, is a leftist ‘think tank’ group that is the principle agent driving the Biden agenda on race in America.

When you see President Biden tell America with a straight face that White Supremacism is the most pressing threat against the American people today, you can bet this organization, Teaching for Change, is behind it.

What should concern you about this agenda, fundamentally, is that it teaches Amereicans to hate their own nation, their own families, with the hope that those in fear will willingly surrender our most sacred shared value, the value of the Bill of Rights, of the right of the individual to be discerned for what they do not what you think they are because of a class of people they belong to.

Apparently, this organization is the voice of the American government on race, so perhaps you should get to learn what they’re all about.

Teaching for Change

Teaching for Change is a left-of-center organization that focuses on supporting left-progressive social and economic policy through school education. Teaching for Change aims to provide resources that teach children a left-of-center view on subjects such as the 2020 Presidential Election, which it claims is filled with “hate speech” and is a “climate of presidential candidate fear-mongering and threats.” ^[1] It also provides resources on “The President’s Agenda,” “White Identity,” and “Resistance 101.” ^[2]

NEA Lobbies to Make CRT a Public School Code

Paul Collier November 1, 2021

American teachers have chosen to mostly go all-in with the DNC-led agenda that has multiple terms it has variably been referred to over the past decade especially.

As of right now, that DNC label has come to mostly be known as CRT, or Critical Race Theory, and America’s teachers, and their biggest political expression, the National Education Association, are fully backing the DNC agenda becoming coercively taught and enforced standards in American Public Schools.

Here is a highlight of the nation’s most powerful public school education lobby-

DNC Mass Mailer Voting Bill Aims to Take Bipartisanship Out of FEC

Paul Collier October 21, 2021

The DNC is attempting to finally push through its mail-in voting bill that seems designed to make it easier to certify elections by the FEC by rmoving the bipartisan requirement the FEC currently has in place.

National Review caught that little FEC bit buried deep in the bill and offered an effective description of the nature of the part of the Orwellian-named the Freedom to Vote Act, which should be renamed the Freedom to Control Mass Mailer Elections Bill.

Democrats’ Voting Bill Creates Free Speech Czar

From www.nationalreview.com
2021-10-20 14:23:39

Excerpt:

Tucked inside a supposedly ‘moderate’ voting bill is a provision that would empower a lone bureaucrat to wield outsized control over elections.

Deep inside the Democrats’ latest “compromise” proposal on elections and campaign finance is a new cup of poison for free speech and fair campaigns.

Of course, the sponsors bragged that they dropped some controversial provisions. One such provision altered the Federal Election Commission (FEC), which polices campaign-finance laws, from a bipartisan agency to one with a partisan majority appointed by the president.

The bill, now dubbed the Freedom to Vote Act, abandons that direct attempt to give the president a partisan majority at the FEC. But it still abolishes the principle of bipartisan approval of enforcement actions. Even worse, it rigs court review of FEC decisions…

At this moment, the Orwellian Freedom to Vote Act faces a final hurdle, the filibuster. Fox News created an effective headline that made clear this bill was no mere voting reform bill, it will fundamentally change the way we have conducted voted, allowing for wholesale opportunities for fraud at multiple levels, from the village to the nation.

GOP expected to filibuster Senate election bill that would boost mail-in voting, mandate auto-registration

From www.foxnews.com
2021-10-20 12:35:53

Excerpt:

The Senate is expected to hold a procedural vote Wednesday afternoon to end a filibuster on an election bill that would impose national standards on how states conduct federal elections, including requirements for mail-in voting and automatic voter registration.

Democrats’ efforts to break the filibuster are expected to fail, as they would need ten Republicans to achieve the necessary 60 votes to move forward on the bill. So far, no Republican appears to be in favor of this.

The 592-page bill, known as the “Freedom to Vote Act,” includes sweeping reforms that include the requirement of states to provide automatic voter registration, as well as online and same-day registration. It also calls for making Election Day a public holiday.

Several provisions in the bill call for significant expansion of absentee voting by mail. It prohibits states from placing any conditions or…

The usual suspects decided to be the emotional glitter grandstanders of the DNC, with Alyssa Milano being the main story on that front, getting herself arrested protesting the failure to pass the Orwellian named Freedom to Vote Act. Note that The Hill headline chose to couch the bill as a “voting rights act,” making this publication complicit in the effort to trick the American people to accept a fundamentally un-democratic, un-republican method of voting, mass mailer voting, and certification that no longer required bipartisan support.

Alyssa Milano arrested at White House voting rights protest

Excerpt:

Actress Alyssa Milano was arrested during a voting rights protest at the White House on Tuesday as the Senate gears up for a vote on the Freedom to Vote Act, a scaled-back version of the voting rights bill that Senate Republicans blocked in June.

Milano announced her arrest in a tweet Tuesday afternoon. She said she had been demonstrating with People for the American Way, a progressive nonprofit organization that advocates for equal rights and constitutional liberties.

The actress said she was arrested “for demanding the Biden Administration and the Senate to use their mandate to protect voting rights.”

“Stand with me and [People for the American Way] and tell the Senate and White House that voting rights shouldn’t depend on where you live,” she added.

I was just arrested for demanding the Biden Administration and the Senate to use their mandate to protect voting rights. Stand with me and @peoplefor and tell the Senate and White House that voting rights shouldn’t depend on…

Reuters follows the Hill in choosing to couch this bill as a rights bill and not a mass mailer election bill. There has, to date, been minimal effort by the DNC media to explain to the American people what this bill actually is beyond using words like rights and words like racist to define election standards that seek to preserve the reliabilty of Democratic elections (like voter ID, like not having mass mailer elections, like not using foreign companies to run our digital ballots, etc).

Would the American people really support mass mailer Presidential elections if it was made clear to them that this is what this bill creates? Reuters certainly isn’t interested in serving you with this information, putting the DNC agenda ahead of journallism once again.

U.S. Senate Republicans poised to stop Democrats’ voting rights bill

From www.yahoo.com

Excerpt:

By Richard Cowan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Democrats on Wednesday will try for the third time this year to advance a voting rights bill aimed at thwarting new balloting restrictions passed in Republican-led states, fueled by Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election.

The chamber’s 50 Republicans are expected to block the measure from advancing, a move that could bring new pressure on Democrats to change the Senate’s “filibuster” rule that requires a supermajority of 60 votes to pass most legislation.

Senator Angus King, an independent who aligns with Democrats, told reporters that if Republicans again block the bill, “we would either have to figure out a rule change or we have to try to have discussions toward a compromise solution.”

Many Democrats have been calling for a scaling back or elimination of the filibuster to make it easier to pass President Joe Biden’s agenda over the objections of top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell.

Biden, himself a veteran of the Senate,…

The GOP are not a reliable lot, and all it takes is a few to be peeled off by promises of being liked by people who not so secretly think they’re really just all racists and bigots and should all be permanently cancelled. The GOP loves the abuse, it seems, so forcasting an outcome for this is a bit difficult given the malleability of this party. But if I had to bet a donut, and I just might, but only certain kinds (not all donuts are equal), I’d go with a filibsuter being successful at stopping this bill.

But if the bill passes, the GOP, or any other DNC opponent, will never win a race the DNC wants to win ever again, though I don’t imagine that power will last long once it becomes clear what it does when the overwhelming majority choose against the DNC.

Of coruse, I should add, the next battle will be the courts, and then states will pass laws denying the Federal ones, and those laws will go to the courts. The final decision most likely will not happen before the 2022 election, meaning, even if the bill passes, it won’t be implemented in this election cycle, making the 2022 election criticial for any who oppose the DNC.

The problem is this, that opposition is mostly found dependent on the GOP, andd the GOP, at the top at least, is run by collusionists, so even if the GOP wins, it will not effectively halt the DNC advance, set to resume after 2024, after the GOP allows the Freedom to Vote Act to take effect. But maybe I’m just being cynical.
