There is no honor in tax payer funded organized murder for profit - War Is Still A Racket
On November 11th, a day when we have been conditioned to glorify war as "necessary and honorable" let us take an honest look at the true nature of (and profiteers) of Modern Warfare
We live in a world where people have been inculcated into cult like belief systems by highly advanced psychological warfare tactics. These psychological operations convince good salt of the earth people here, where you live and all over this beautiful Earth to pick up devices designed with the sole and explicit intent of ending human life and pulling the trigger.
Here in Canada, tomorrow, on “Remembrance Day” we are overwhelmed with images and other forms of propaganda in schools, on the TV, the radio (and everywhere in between that statist regimes can reach) with a message that is intended to make us see warfare as necessary to “preserve freedom” and “protect democracy”.
We are told about war heroes and stories that involve situations like where a guy (or gal) chose to throw themselves on a grenade to protect their buddies on the frontline.
While a choice like this is certainly selfless and involves courage, have you ever stopped to ask yourself why that guy or gal was in that situation (in a place where two groups of humans have been pit against one another in a fight to the death by political, corporate and bankster interests) to begin with?
And have you ever asked yourself why something like a grenade (or a landmine, or a machine gun or a predator drone) exists (and continues to exist) in the first place?
Why are our tax dollars being used to continue to build more and more effective devices designed with the sole purpose of ending human life?
I`ll tell you why, because it is very profitable, that is why.
Since a very young age we are indoctrinated into the idea that wars are the story of “good” guys vs “bad” guys, that we are (of course) on the “good guys team” and the reason that the poor people from our country were (and continue to be) sent to other countries to kill other human beings with technology designed to end sentient life is so that we can “bring them democracy”, “protect our freedoms” and “ensure regional stability”. The truth is nothing even close to that comforting fairy tale.
Like most Canadians (and people living in the “developed world”) I have friends and relatives that have fought in wars so I understand the drive to accept a fairy tale about why they went somewhere to kill (and possibly be killed) which is handed down to us by the governments (and those above them) who profit from and benefit from war.
The reality of modern warfare is that 90% of the casualties of war have been (and continue to be) civilians (a third of them being children). These murders were not "colleterial damage" they are the nature of modern warfare.
Today I am taking a moment to remember and contemplate how 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗜𝘀 𝗔 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁. Usually, it involves a type of racketeering perpetuated via either false flag operations or pressure being exerted upon world leaders by what some have termed “Economic Hitmen“.
This remembrance day I would like to take a moment to invite you to remember the true nature and purpose of modern wars. This November 11th I am remembering wars are a means to make money, engaged in eugenics, consolidate material power and steal resources from those who cannot defend themselves. Since World War Two 90% of the casualties of war have been civilians (a third of them being children). These murders were not “colleterial damage” they are the nature of modern warfare.
The US has been at war 93% of the time since it came into existence. Another way to look at it is out of the 249 years since it has been a country it has spent 232 years of it at war. Or if you count the wars waged by the US and Canadian government against indigenous peoples (which were happening since day one and continue today) the US and Canada has been at war 100% of the time since both of those statist regimes came into existence.
The involuntary governance system that exists here where we live (in Canada) is no better since here the government often follows behind the US in supporting military imperialism abroad as well as aiding and abetting in proxy wars.
In addition to Canada’s direct military involvement in wars of aggression waged by our neighbors (such as those that were waged in the middle east) and its involvement in various proxy wars, most Canadians have no idea that thanks to our Canada Pension Plan (CPP) we are forcibly conscripted into an institutionalized confidence scheme tied to the age-old racket of war.
As long as it’s all supposedly “legal” and there’s lots of money to be made, the CPP Investment Board (CPPIB) says it will hitch our wagon to any corporate star that will benefit our retirement savings. Even if these investments contradict our so-called “Canadian values,” or undermine official government policies, it makes no difference. In fact, the more a corporation’s practices conflict with Canada’s self-righteous myths about peace, democracy, human rights, protecting nature and preserving our healthcare system, the more likely that they’ll be able to turn us a quick buck.
As a result, the CPPIB has happily invested our pension monies in a wide range of companies that profit directly and indirectly from war.
The most egregious examples of this can be found among CPP investments in the world’s largest weapons manufacturers. Our government-sponsored retirement portfolio includes about $1.4 billion worth of stocks in some of the world’s largest 100 war industries. The bigger the weapons producer, the more likely we are to be invested in it. For instance, while the CPP has stakes in 41% of the top 100 weapons manufacturers, our shares include 48% of the top 50, 80% of the top 20, and 100% of the top 10.
CPP complicity in this whole bloody war racket makes us captive players in a market that aids and abets not only the commission of crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity, but crimes against nature as well.
Speaking of war profiteering and racketeering, since February 24, 2022 Ottawa has committed over $22 billion in military aid (the largest per capita financial contribution among G7 countries) already delivered or planned to be delivered to the Ukraine. This includes two C-130 aircraft (developed by Lockheed Martin), Leopard 2 main battle tanks, 18 weaponized drones maintenance and repairs for these drones; 59 armoured combat support vehicles; and 4 M777 artillery pieces, 25 replacement barrels, and 20,000 M777 rounds.
In reality, all wars are for either maintaining the dominance of the global racketeering organization some refer to as the “central banking cartel” or “Cabal” and/or they are fought to steal finite resources. Then there is just war profiteering as motivation and of course the more despicable of motivations being eugenics. While no wars can happen if all the citizens just refused to fight, they are brainwashed from a very young age with elaborate psychological warfare mediums to prepare them to be willing to kill for the bankers and the corporations (under the guise of ‘spreading democracy’ or “helping liberate some people etc”).
In both Canada and the US military send specialized psychological warfare experts to gaslight children into thinking about joining the military in schools.
“In 2016-17, the U.S. Army visited Santa Maria High School and nearby Pioneer Valley High School in California over 80 times. The Marines visited Ernest Righetti High School in Santa Maria over 60 times that year. One Santa Maria alumnus commented, “It’s as if they, the recruiters, are on staff.” A parent of a high school student at Pioneer Valley commented, “I consider recruiters on campus talking to 14 year olds as “grooming” young people to be more open to recruitment in their senior year.” (source).
People are resisting the military recruitment of children in schools, however, now that teens have their own phones, recruiters have direct access to them – following them on social media, texting and emailing them privately – and have access to their friends in the process. Because of this, parental oversight is circumvented and a family’s privacy rights are ignored. Recruiters not only gain access to student’s through their phones, but through ‘surveys’ and sign up sheets, where they ask questions such as “citizenship status?” and other confidential information.
Recruiters online tactics can be dubious. For one example, The Nation reported that on July 15, 2020,the Army’s Esports team on Twitch advertised a fake giveaway foran Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, valued at more than $200.When clicked, animated giveaway advertisements in the Army’s Twitch stream chat boxes led users to a recruiting web form with no mention of any giveaway. (source)
Now they (the military-industrial complex) want to start desensitizing children to brutal violence from a young age so they can turn them into effective, obedient, ruthless killing machines. Just turn on the tv or take a look at any of the first-person video games the kids are playing nowadays and you will see exactly what I mean.
Not only are video games and movies in general serving to desensitize children to obscene violence, but the Canada and US Military recruiters are now very interested in focusing on recruiting kids that have been conditioned by gaming into being enforcers in their racketeering operation.

With technology like killer drones allowing the programming of children via video games to serve as a platform for a digital framework that would allow them to remotely operate killing machines (without seeing the first-hand impacts of war) the Canada Armed forces, US Navy and CIA are hard at work targeting children that play video games for recruitment into their killer drone programs.
Mark Carney, recently stated that the current budget sets out $20.4 billion (of tax payer money coerced from your pockets and my pocket) over 5 years for military recruitment and retention.
That means money stolen from you and I using violent coercion (aka taxation) will be used to create propaganda material pushed into school classrooms, disseminated on TV, Social Media and into children’s video games.

The federal government has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars advertising on the Xbox video game system, which connects online and includes ads.
The Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces spent $200,000 advertising on Xbox static in-game ads in the spring of 2008 as part of a “national recruitment campaign” in the midst of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan.
Since then they have spent millions more and pushed their targeted ads into games like Call Of Duty (so that when kids are playing violent video games getting excited about shooting the bad guys, an add will pop up telling them that the Armed Forces will pay them to do the same fun activity).
The purpose of the advertising was to “Reach and engage our core target (young males 18-24) through in-game advertising” the documents say. Specifically, the target audience was “18-24 year olds, male & female, looking for adventure & excitement”
Canadian military spent thousands on Xbox Live recruitment ads:

Right now, with the support of Twitch, gamers with the US military are spending hours with children as young as 13, trying to convince them to enlist.
The US military’s attempts to recruit Gen-Z gamers on Twitch is predatory and problematic:
https://www.businessinsider.com/us-army-recruit-recruitment-kids-gen-z-twitch-predatory-navy-2020-9
The Army, Navy, and Air Force all stream on Twitch using dedicated e-sports teams. These teams are comprised of skilled gamers who compete in tournaments for cash prizes. While members of military e-sports teams offer the regular gaming skill set, they’re also on-screen talent and recruiters. Instead of approaching a recruiter behind a table in a school cafeteria, kids can hang out with one who is playing their favorite video games and replying to their chat messages for hours on end.
The military pays for pop-up links (and sends them to children in private messages) with vague messages like “Sign up to win!” which, when clicked through, only led to recruitment forms.

So, as you can see, the nature of war, is that it is an elaborate racketeering operation, it is organized mass murder, for profit. It involves brainwashing the poor of one country to kill the poor of another country, so the rich can get richer.
Even wars that most perceive as “noble” (such as ww2) were situations in which false flag operations were used (by both sides) to initiate, inflame, and perpetuate the conflict so that corporations could profit from selling materials to both sides (see more on Ford and Boeing’s involvement via links below).
“In WWI a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.” - Smedley D. Butler

This remembrance day I would like to take a moment to remember how behind all the smoke and mirrors broadcasted to us on the TV, there is a simple imperative driving the narrative and the will of those in the echelons of military power, “Who can we make them afraid of next?” .. “Who can we demonize, aggravate, steal from, murder and in doing so perpetuate our war machine that rakes in trillions?”.
Today I remember all humans are born innately loving, giving, accepting and kind.. and all else is learned (no matter where we are from and what color our skin is). Today I remember that we humans are all one family and despite the efforts of a very nefarious, well equipped and well-funded psychotic minority of the population to attempt to divide us, try to get us to fear, war with and compete with one another, we will unite… dissolve corrupt systems that profit from war (peacefully) and build a future of acceptance and symbiosis with each other that requires no weapons of war.
The so-called “war on terror” was/is a cover for our military aggression to gain control of the resources of western Asia.
911 was a deceptive indication and warning operation (commonly known as a “false flag operation”) designed to convince the poor people of one country to be willing to go and kill the poor people of another country in order to trade blood for oil and push our society one step closer towards a totalitarian plutocracy.
Our soldiers didn’t sacrifice for duty, honor, or country. They sacrificed and sacrifice for BP, Exxon Mobil, Halliburton, Kellogg, Brown & Root. They didn’t fight for Canada, America or “democracy” they fought (and some are still fighting) for their lives and their buddies beside them because we put them in a war zone. They were not defending our freedom, they were laying the foundation for fourteen permanent military bases to defend the freedoms of Exxon-Mobil and British Petroleum.
They were not establishing democracy, they were establishing the basis for an economic occupation to continue after the military occupation had ended.
“In the modern age of democracy and volunteer armies, a pretense for war is required to rally the nation around the flag and motivate the public to fight. That is why every major conflict is now accompanied by its own particular bodyguard of lies. From false flag attacks to dehumanization of the “enemy,” here are all the examples you’ll need to help debunk a century of war lies.” - James Corbett (from the article/podcast linked below which contains extensive references below the article under the original post on James’ website)
“False flags. Provocateured conflicts. Fake news and fake human rights crusades. Throughout the last century, a host of methods have been employed to keep the public playing the military-industrial complex’s game. And over that century, the blood of untold millions has flowed as a direct result of these war lies.
Truth is the first casualty of war, as they say. But if we desire peace, then we must confront the liars with our knowledge of these war lies. And armed with this truth, the public finally stands a chance of stopping the next war before the warmongers can conjure it into existence.” - James Corbett
𝗙𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗴 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (known by the military as False I&W or “Deceptive Indication and Warning Operations”) have been used many times before. The RMS Lusitania, the Reichstag fire, Operation Northwoods, the Gulf of Tonkin and of course in New York City on September 11, 2001.
When you witnessed tower 7 come down at freefall speed in on its own footprint (which was not struck by any plane) did any of you believe the official story made sense? (if you are not aware of the destruction of that building please look it up).
Speaking of psychological warfare and false flag operations, here is what the Canadian Military brass saw the Covid 19 “pandemic” as a great opportunity for:
“Military leaders saw pandemic as a unique opportunity to test propaganda on Canadians: A plan devised by the Canadian Joint Operations Command relied on propaganda techniques similar to those employed during the Afghan war”: https://nationalpost.com/news/national/defence-watch/military-leaders-saw-pandemic-as-unique-opportunity-to-test-propaganda-techniques-on-canadians-forces-report-says/wcm/22733c97-39f0-4ba4-8a26-478af5e215f3?fbclid=IwAR0vpIjaHDOoinwxQ4-Zwrrrm42AiuMKZlOIstBK9Ijgb3RNsCAU3i0rats

So here we are living in the aftermath of the most recent false flag operation, except this time the invisible enemy that is impossible to catch (which we are again being told we have to give up our rights to fight) is microscopic.

Instead of Operation Shock and Awe, we had Operation Warp speed, the same game with new players. Instead of endless taxpayer-funded drone strikes killing countless thousands of innocent civilians we have taxpayer funded injections doing the same thing. The big corporations rake in billions and at the same time our governments tell us we need to give up a few more of our rights “so we can keep the citizens safe from danger”.
But what about the “Noble” and "Necessary” Wars?
Some people who know about that War Racketeering cartels are under the impression that while most wars are for profit and/or eugenics, some are noble and worth involving one’s self in.
Someone who feels this way recently commented “…There are noble and glorious acts in wars redounding honor to their combatants...Defending your family can be a noble and glorious cause. Resistance against evil is a noble endeavor and I don’t mean just fighting with words…”
My response was as follows:
Self-defense (taking physical action to defend yourself and your family when a violent attacker seeks to do them harm, whether they are a statist goon or a lone cereal killer) is not war.
Enlisting into an army willingly (or being conscripted and choosing to capitulate to orders given to kill others) is not self-defense.
The tricky part and the slippery slope down the soul corroding pit to “pre-emptive strikes”, mass murdering children and wholesale genocide begins when we start blending the meanings of words such as “self-defense” with “resistance against evil” or “war”.
When you know there are humans out there that would kill you if they were given the chance and you seek to acquire weapons to stop them before they can act on that intent, Where does self defense end and premeditated murder begin?
In truth there is no noble and ethical way to decide (or follow orders to) pick up a weapon designed to end human life, and then go out and use that piece of technology for it’s intended purpose. The intent behind taking up arms may be well justified in one’s mind, and the heart felt intent may even be to lessen suffering by preventing murderers and psychopaths from continuing on the path they have chosen by ending them before they can hurt anyone else, but we all know in our heart of hearts that killing is wrong. It is one of the core messages of all mainstream religious belief systems “thou shall not kill”. Yet along the way parasitic and predatory institutions and psychopathic individuals manage to convince a great many to go against their own moral compass and/or religious teachings in order to “be patriotic” or some other nonsensical ego based idea.
Some people (especially Athiests) will say that it is Religion (or some even say the simple choice to believe in God) is the main cause for war but what they fail to understand, is that the institutions (that they place on the same pedestal as devout religious followers place their ideas about God) represent an even more dangerous type of dogmatic belief system.
“The state represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. The Individual has a soul, but as the state is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence.” - Gandhi
As many of you may know from my comments in my essay titled Spiritual Autodidacticism, I am not a big fan of dogmatic religious institutions, but I would never be so ignorant as to place the blame for war and mass murdering campaigns solely on dogmatic religious belief systems (or the human institutions that have built up around and weaponized them).
Yes, it is true that a great many psychopaths and manipulators have twisted and weaponized the words from religious texts to convince the everyday people to do their bidding and kill other humans throughout history (and they continue to do so now) but that has nothing to do with believing in and knowing the Creator. The crazies that weaponize religious texts to incite mass murder campaigns are loud, arrogant and easily discernable as psychopaths, but, in my opinion, we should be much more weary of the psychopaths that operate in stealth, arriving with a smiling face, claiming that they will keep you safe and then demanding you pay them money for that safety at gunpoint and if you refuse they will take your property by force, kidnap you and lock you in a cold dark room.
Someone I know recently commented on this topic by saying “many of the most terrible attributes are displayed by those that believe in a god”. One could easily replace the word "god" with "government" in that sentence and it would also be true. Just as believing in an anthropomorphized idea of a deity that judges, chooses sides and punishes from the clouds is delusional, believing that a big brother figure sitting atop the lofty ideals of "democracy" is going to protect us from the bad guys and improve our quality of life if we just keep submitting to their violent coercion, their mandates and giving them the money they demand from us (when those institutions have a long history of abuse, mass murder, deceit, manipulation, violent coercion and fraud) is also dangerous and delusional.
Many in current society live in that sort of Stockholm Syndrome type relationship with government, and I contend that such a toxic, abusive, parasitic and degenerative relationship and belief in Government is far more detrimental than any delusional beliefs about a confused idea of what God is. Organized religious institutions have indeed done much harm on this Earth, but what many fail to understand is that belief in "authority" (such as involuntary governance structures that depend on violent coercion such as "democracy") is also a form of organized religion (the delusional belief that someone "out there" in a "position of power" is going to fix our problems for us).
When the Italian Mafia tells you they are going to provide you with “protection services” (and then if you do not pay up they beat you down, take your stuff and maybe make you disappear) that is called “Pizzo”. When your government does that same thing, it is called “taxation”.
The military industrial (and now also the big pharma/big tech industrial) complex uses its influence over nation states to pass laws and influence policy in combination with the multigenerational racketeering operation known as ‘taxation’ in order to take your money from you (under threat of violence and kidnapping) to spend on bullets, guns, bombs, landmines, drones, “vaccines” and other chemical/biological weapons.
When the followers of the religion of government are convinced that their savior figure wants them to do something irresponsible, lacking compassion, dangerous or even malicious, they will do so "for the greater good".
"The state is not a benevolent force, despite what the most brainwashed of statists believe. It is not even a neutral tool that can be used for good or ill, as those who consider themselves pragmatists believe. It is violence. It is force. It is aggression. It is people believing that what is wrong for any individual to do is perfectly OK if an agent of the state does it.
If I steal, it is theft. If the state steals, it is taxation. If I kill, it is murder. If the state kills, it is warfare. If I force someone to work for me involuntarily, it is slavery. If the state does it, it is conscription. If I confine someone against their will, it is kidnapping. If the state does it, it is incarceration. Nothing has changed but the label.
What binds us to the state is the belief that there is a different morality for anything that has been sanctified through the political process. "Oh, 50%+1 of the population voted for forced vaccinations? Then I guess we have to comply." If you scoff at that sentence, how about if the vote were 100%-1? Would that change the morality of resistance? How about if forced vaccinations were mandated by the constitution? Then would you be compelled to submit?
Does the ballot box transform the unethical into the ethical? Of course not. But I'll tell you what it does do: It makes everyone who casts their ballot a part of the process that legitimizes the murder and violence committed by agents of the state."
- James Corbett ( from “Government Itself is Immoral”
In this modern day religion of government new words have been invented to replace words like "blasphemer" and "heretic" such as "conspiracy theorist" and "those have have unacceptable views".
It is in the spirit of this effort that today I choose to remember all humans are born innately loving, giving, accepting and kind.. and all else is learned (no matter where we are from and what color our skin is). Today I remember that we humans are all one family and despite the efforts of a very nefarious, well equipped and well-funded psychotic minority of the population to attempt to divide us, try to get us to fear, war with and compete with one another, we will unite to dissolve corrupt systems that profit from war (peacefully) and build a future of acceptance and symbiosis with each other that requires no weapons of war.

Some people have been told the story that here in Canada our government is “different” than all those other nasty murderous, propaganda proliferating and oppressive governments elsewhere but that too is a fallacy. As noted above, our government has been directly involved in the genocide of it’s own citizens and is directly involved with weapons manufacturer profiteering with the CPP funds that are coerced from each of our paychecks (by involuntary governance structures such as the Federal Government of Canada).
Some wars are waged on people in far away lands because they have resources our government or their corporate overlords want or those wars are manufactured/perpetuated just for the purpose of boosting profits for the military industrial complex and then other wars are waged by governments on their own citizens.
The Canadian Military Declares War on Canadians :
- https://www.corbettreport.com/the-canadian-military-declares-war-on-canadians-propagandawatch/
The latter was the case with the Genocide of children that took place in the Residential Schools in Canada and it was the case in a more racially indiscriminate fashion when our governments and police served as the strong arm for big pharma and their bankster friends during the scamdemic (a time when institutionalized gaslighting, emotionally manipulative propaganda, coercion tactics, economic warfare and bold face lies were weaponized by our government in order to push millions into receiving experimental genetic slurry injections) that were fraudulently being marketed as “vaccines” (resulting in the death of tens of millions globally now with that death count still rising sharply).
In the last 5 years I have observed a very intense degree of brainwashing (being implemented here in Canada in a war against its own citizens) to further this move into totalitarian medical fascism dominated by a sort of technocratic oligarchy) that managed to mentally subdue even some people in my life who were (up until 2020) people who engaged in critical thinking, were skeptical of “one size fits all solutions” pushed by dominant institutions and people that acknowledged the corruption and criminality which is systemic in the pharmaceutical industry. Those same people were cheering for vaccine passports. They were totally mentally subjugated and are going against everything they believed in for the majority of their adult life. I think the same happened with many doctors all over. The intense propaganda and constant/prolific psychological warfare appears to have resulted in many millions (perhaps billions) of people experiencing a sort of psychotic break from reality.

Despite the observable (directly attributable) death of children (and people of all ages, including many doctors) due to receiving these synthetic mRNA gene based injections, there were medical professional organizations and institutions that declared the deaths and permanent injuries being incurred by healthy individuals receiving said injections were “rare” and that the real problem doctors needed to be focusing on was “vaccine hesitancy”.
Many allopathic medical professionals in Canada paid the ultimate price for conforming to the irrational corporate and government propaganda:
Lest we forget all those deaths are blood on the hands of the Canadian government and their Big Pharma collaborators that waged (and are still waging) a psychological and biological war on the citizens of Canada.
The totality of Evidence provides the research links to significant events and information leading up to the COVID-19 scamdemic and beyond:

“What is being built is the architecture of oppression.” -Edward Snowden https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=766825847445325
Since these people who have experienced a type of psychotic break are apparently were longer capable of finding an archimedean point from which to be able to objectively observe their own psychotic behavior, to them, pushing dangerous and unscientific injections (and dehumanizing/attacking anyone who is skeptical of said injections) was/is “perfectly normal”.
As described in the material and links above, Carpet bombing cities and Drone striking villages killing innocents led to creating thousands of desperate angry families willing to join up with anyone that promised them they would help them to be able to get back at those who took the lives of their loved ones… this manifested as increased levels of vendetta driven violent extremism, such as ISIS etc.
Now we are being pressured to bombard our bodies with toxic chemicals and pathogenic spike proteins (via injections) to ‘fight our new invisible enemy’ and the result is a plethora of severe injuries and deaths due to A.D.E., runaway platelet aggregation (caused by pathogenic spike proteins being present in the small capillaries in key organs) and a number of other deleterious mechanisms of injury directly linked to the synthetic mRNA injections causing blood clots, mini-clots, strokes, heart injuries, cancer, infertility, miscarriages and brain damage (among other things).
The Canadian government demanded that we give up more of our rights in this endless war against our ‘invisible enemies’ (perpetuated via fear propaganda and other psyops) by pressuring us to sign up for a “vaccine passport system”. The parallels between the realities experienced in the 1940-s in Germany and now in present-day where people were “locked down” and were being asked to “show their papers” are unavoidable.
When the people of Canada (tens of thousands of truckers, farmers, doctors, retired police, retired military men and women and everyday people) showed up in Ottawa to express their support for the Freedom Convoy (and its peaceful protest against the totalitarian mandates) the corrupt government, judicial and political figures quickly attempted to change the narrative from “fringe minorities with unacceptable views” to declaring a state of emergency. They described the peaceful people (from all ages and walks of life) as “insurrectionists” and instructed militarized police units to engage in the illegal seizure of property, physical assault of and unlawful arrest of peaceful protestors.

Corrupt Police assaulted women and harassed children in our Capitol. Heavily armed militarized police followed orders to smash and abuse peaceful protestors. They had batons, tasers, gas grenade launchers, snipers on rooftops, LRADs, APC-s, machine guns and zapstraps.
Lest We Forget what the Canadian Government did to it’s own Citizens in Ottawa when people peacefully asked for their bodily autonomy to be respected in the face of oppressive big pharma experimental injection mandates that were taking their jobs from them.

This is what Ottawa looked like on febuary 18th, 2022 for those who were voicing what our dictator PM had declared are "unacceptable views". That was a war too, albeit a war being waged by plutocrats, philanthropaths, corporations, their puppets and street level enforcers on the general population that refused to fall in line.



The RCMP even unleashed their mounted horse unit to trample peaceful protestors (including a disabled indigenous woman with a walker) in an act of despicable medieval thuggery.

Trudeau’s deputy, Chrystia Freeland, who was also a director of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum, stated she plans to make her emergency powers permanent.

In order to perpetuate his criminal activities, he invoked the Emergencies Act to deal with Freedom Convoy protests (which were creating a global movement that threatened to expose him and render him as well as his criminal conspirators obsolete and harmless). This means they have shown us they are willing to go full on totalitarian in a desperate attempt to achieve their goals. Any pretense of a functioning democracy was thrown out the window earlier this year in Canada. It is clear now that the intent is to abolish your rights and freedoms and establish an overt technocratic police state (living under constant threat of them initiating Martial Law).
The legislation was designed to replace the War Measures Act, which defines a national emergency as an “urgent and critical situation” that “seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it.”
The Emergencies Act, provided the federal government extraordinary powers enabling the prohibition of public assembly, travel, and the use of specific property. It allowed Ottawa to designate protected places and force privately-owned tow truck companies to provide their services to the city. Under those “emergency powers” they could have legally forced their way into your home (without a court order) incarcerate you and hold you for whatever amount of time they decide (otherwise known as kidnapping). Unilateral overt legalized surveillance (that will augment the already prevalent state-sponsored covert surveillance mechanisms) will now watch what do and say 24/7 (if you were involved in the protest or supported those who were/are). These powers can be re-activated at a moments notice any time they feel like it now.
Some get all bent out of shape and say things like “How dare you compare the current government policies to those of the nazis and the untimely deaths of millions that took the synthetic mRNA injections to the holocaust!!” but when you take the time to listen to what an actual holocaust survivor is saying about the situation those types of dramatic expressions of Stockholm syndrome lose their traction, validity and fall apart in the face of an honest assessment of the available data.
Vera Sharav lived through the Holocaust so she knows a genocidal/fascist take over when she sees one. https://rumble.com/v1gtl0n-vera-sharav-speech-at-nuremberg-75.html
There are not many on Earth that came make that claim with the degree of irreproachability and clarity of mind she embodies. I highly suggest you take the time to listen to what she has to say.
If we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.

In addition to Vera’s testimony. I feel it is also worth considering that some estimate that the number of people that have died as a direct result of taking the synthetic mRNA injections is significantly greater than all the victims of the holocaust combined.
Look at the photos above and below, look at the equipment those Police brought to deal with a peaceful protest and you can clearly discern that these were soldiers and thugs, not those serving us (Canadian citizens) and looking to protect us.
The Criminalization of Dissent
“One of the hallmarks of totalitarian systems is the criminalization of dissent. Not just the stigmatization of dissent or the demonization of dissent, but the formal criminalization of dissent, and any other type of opposition to the official ideology of the totalitarian system.” (from the essay linked below)
Are we really gonna buy this crap? Again? Are we going to go along with this attack on our freedom, this degeneration of our society into corporation-dominated totalitarianism?
Wars are not only waged with bullets and bombs, sometimes they are waged with intentional starvation policies, genetic warfare in your food supply, weapons of mass distraction, menticidal shockwaves of propaganda and relentless government gaslighting in a war being waged within the battlefield of your mind.
War comes in many forms in this era of 5th Generation Warfare.
Whether it is the most recent conflict between deluded self-righteous religious fanatics in the Middle East, the Proxy war in the Ukraine or any number of other brutal ongoing mass murder campaigns where one group of humans has sought to acquire the most deadly and viscous weapons within their reach to inflict suffering and death on another group of humans, War is always a means for the banksters and corporations that exert more influence on shaping geopolitical policy than elected officials to engage in profiteering, eugenics operations and further consolidate their material influence.
This is not a new phenomenon, WW1 and WW2 were also conflicts that were encouraged, engineered, perpetuated and profited from by the banksters and corporate barons (many of which called North America their home).
In truth the allies did not triumph over evil and end the Nazi regime as the most significant supporters and financiers of the military operations of both sides of that conflict escaped prosecution and remain intact today. Boeing, IBM and the BIS are just a few that should stand out for anyone that knows their WW2 history.

In closing I will share an excerpt from a substack article titled “Israel is Shutting Down its Human Laboratory in Gaza”
“The Palestinians are human laboratory rats to the Israeli military, intelligence services and arms and technology industries. Israel’s drones, surveillance technology — including spyware, facial recognition software and biometric gathering infrastructure — along with smart fences, experimental bombs and AI-controlled machine guns, are tried out on the captive population in Gaza, often with lethal results. These weapons and technologies are then certified as “battle tested” and sold around the world.
Israel is the 10th biggest arms dealer on the planet and sells its technology and weapons to an estimated 130 nations, including military dictatorships in Asia and Latin America. Israeli weapons sales totalled $12.5 billion last year. Its close relationship with these military, internal security, surveillance, intelligence-gathering and law enforcement agencies, explains the fulsome support Israel’s allies give to its genocidal campaign in Gaza. When Colombian President Gustavo Petro refused to condemn the Oct. 7 attack by Palestinian resistance groups as a “terrorist attack” and said “terrorism is killing innocent children in Palestine,” Israel immediately halted all sales of defense and security equipment to Colombia.
The genocidal assault on Gaza is another chapter in the century-long ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians by the Israeli settler colonial project. It is accompanied, as is true for all settler colonial projects, by the theft of natural resources, land, water and the natural gas in the Gaza Marine fields, 20 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza, which could contain up to 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.”

Currently those who are invested in fossil fuel corporations and those who have money invested in Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon are making a killing (literally) as weapons sales are up with huge amounts of tax payer money being funneled into Israel.
In a completely predictable move, our local lifelong central bankster Carney (playing politician right now) has described Israel’s attacks on Iran as “self-defense” giving the greenlight for more mayhem and mass murdering of civilians (as Israel has done, and continues to do in Gaza). This should be no surprise to anyone that understands how the Canadian government (although it claims to be all about “peacekeeping”) has long been in a war profiteering business (I can provide links to evidence for anyone in denial about that fact).

Fuelling Wars, Supplying the Warmongers : Canadian government heavily subsidizing military corporations (Canada’s war industries profits are in the billions annually in exports to 88 foreign governments).
Carney has said that increased defence spending is necessary to defend Canada from a “new imperialism” manifesting in the world. Industry Minister Melanie Joly recently told a gathering of Canada’s auto manufacturers that “we are in a wartime cabinet right now,” while encouraging them to consider shifting their production from cars to military kit.

However, Canada is not in the midst of war—nor is there any realistic possibility of Canada being attacked anytime soon. In truth, these measures are not designed to protect ordinary Canadians, but to further the interests of the ruling class at home and abroad.
Talk of going “elbows up” notwithstanding, U.S. arms manufacturers will be a major beneficiary of Carney’s new military drive. Canada’s purchase agreement for 88 U.S-made F-35 jets still remains in effect, despite promises to review the purchase and buy at least some of the jets elsewhere. Canada has also placed orders for a batch of HIMARS missiles from the U.S., the same being used by the regime in Ukraine. It is no wonder then that the U.S. is so “thrilled” by Carney’s promise.
Increased military spending may also help to bolster Canada’s own imperialist interests abroad. In recent years, Canadian mining projects abroad have faced serious pushback from local communities and the governments of the countries in which they are based. Notable examples include the Boreal Forest indigenous communities where lithium mining pillaging and mass destruction of rivers, lakes and forests is planned to occur, Cobre copper mine in Panama and the Barrick Gold mine in Mali, the latter of which the Malian government has at times threatened to expropriate. Having more troops available may force corporate Canada’s opponents to think twice.
Carney’s time with Brookfield Corporation has come under close scrutiny. Brookfield is hardly a household name, but with more than $1 trillion (US) in assets, it’s one of the world’s biggest investment firms and one of Canada’s largest publicly traded companies.
From 2020 to 2024, Brookfield businesses faced reports of serious human rights abuses in Brazil, Indigenous resistance in Colombia, a First Nation’s $100-million lawsuit in Ontario and an environmental dispute in Maine.
It has stakes or controlling interests in a jaw-dropping range of properties and industries: iconic real estate developments like Canary Wharf in London and Manhattan West in New York’s Hudson Yards; casinos, lotteries, and sports-betting companies; insurance, infrastructure, and mining concerns; and too many others to detail here.
Though the U.S. and Canadian military establishment stands to benefit enormously from Carney’s plan, ordinary Canadians do not. In truth, we will be the ones paying for it.
Most serious analysts surmise that increased military spending on the scale proposed by Carney will mean serious cuts to other areas, including things like health transfers and child care benefits. Even before this announcement, the Parliamentary Budget Officer stated that Carney’s promises to increase military spending would require “significant cuts” to public services.

Herman Göring Supreme Commander of Nazi Germany the Air Force
“Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliament or a communist dictatorship.… Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
—Herman Göring in conversation with Gustave Gilbert, “Nuremberg Diary”
( thanks for reminding me about the above quote
)Thus, today I invite you to remember that this is business as usual. There is nothing noble or glorious about war, not ‘back then’ and not now either…
“A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small “inside” group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.” - Smedley D. Butler, Marines Major-General (highest ranking officer, most decorated marine from WWI)
Next we will explore a lesser known tactic of the war racketeering cartel and their statist crime syndicate, which is using Food As A Weapon Of War.
Food As A Weapon Of War
Food is also used as a weapon of a war waged against everyday citizens by the government here in Canada:
“Canada’s RCMP Has Massacred All 400 Healthy Ostriches At Universal Ostrich Farm: “...Worst Sound I Have Ever Heard...I Will Never Be The Same.”
Many are appalled and surprised by the recent RCMP enforced Canada government funded mass slaughter of a farmer’s ostriches in BC and they think this type of tax payer funded atrocity and attack on local food systems is unprecedented.
I would like to remind you that using food as a weapon in warfare waged on local inhabitants is one of the favorite tactics of the statist regime of Canada (the federal government), the US government, the UK government and others.
Historically food was used as a weapon in Canada to engage in genocide for starving the original inhabitants and engage in land theft.
The destruction of cultural food systems wasn’t just a consequence of colonialism; it was intentionally planned. The separation between Indigenous Peoples and their cultural food systems was enforced through colonial policies like The Indian Act (1876), designed to seize Indigenous land (including their ancient food forests, which were clearcut for timber to perpetuate the British War Racket), obstruct traditional economic systems, and place bans on hunting, three sisters cultivation, seed sharing and potlatch ceremonies between communities.
In the past 150 years, Canada’s federal government has (*forcibly*) taken over the country’s agricultural land to mass-produce factory farmed chemical laced dairy, low quality gmo grain fed steroid/hormone laced beef, and GMO corn/soy, pushing that garbage food into stores and imposing barriers to the sources of nutrition that Indigenous folk sustained themselves with for centuries.
Obtaining traditional Indigenous food was also criminalized: seed saving, traditional food forest management (via controlled burns of underbrush), planting polyculture farm fields and hunting of traditional sources of animal based foods banned by law, forcing First Nation, Métis, and Inuit to starve or become dependent on settler food diets and assimilate.
Here is a quote from the first Prime Minister of Canada pertaining to his intent for the prairies. He funded mercenaries to mass slaughter buffalo as part of his intentional starvation policies in combination with paid murder squads to achieve his goals.
“We are looking anxiously for your report as to Indian titles both within Manitoba and without; and as to the best means of extinguishing [terminating] the Indian titles in the valley of Saskatchewan. We should take immediate steps to extinguish the Indian titles somewhere in the Fertile Belt in the valley of Saskatchewan, and open it for settlement. There will otherwise be an influx of squatters who will seize upon the most eligible positions and greatly disturb the symmetry [organization] of future surveys.”
- John Alexander Macdonald, 1870
One pertinent historical example (of many) which took place in North America was the intentional extermination of the vast majority of Buffalo that once roamed (and nourished) these lands. It was achieved via combination of US government and Canada government degrees, orders given by bloodthirsty military commanders, bounty put up by railroad barons (from the Union Pacific Railroad and Canadian Pacific Railway ) the actions of many degenerate settlers that worked in concert to exterminate most of the Buffalo in North America.
In the US, The United States government (and the oligarchs that stand behind and above it) wanted the land of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island and saw how connected they were to the Buffalo and thus encouraged the slaughter of the buffalo as a strategy to conquer the American plains “Indians”.
Generals William T. Sherman and Philip Sheridan believed if the soldiers could eradicate the Buffalo, the “Indians” would have no choice but to give up. This belief stemmed from General Sherman’s tactic during the Civil War take away anything essential for the survival of a people, and they will surrender—as long as the Buffalo roamed the Plains, so did the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island—the two were symbiotic.
American General Phil Sheridan said, “Let them kill the buffalo until they are exterminated. Then your prairies can be covered with speckled cattle and the festive cowboy.. ..Kill every buffalo you can! Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone.”
How many cattle live in feedlots today?
14.7 million head;...All cattle and calves in the United States...totaled...93.8 million head on January 1, 2021.
How many bison were in the Midwest before Euro-American contact?
Estimates range from 30-100 million.
During the early 1880s, knowing of the dependence of the plains people on the Buffalo, whose migration had ended in 1879, John A. Macdonald (first prime minister of Canada) used a policy of deliberate starvation to force chiefs such as Big Bear to take treaty, while also imposing bureaucratic surveillance and control over the lives of treaty peoples through the Indian Act. In 1885, he completed the conquest of the plains through military force mass slaughtering buffalo and attacking the Métis and Plains Cree.
Macdonald declared twenty-seven bands to be in insurrection even though he knew that few First Nations were interested in violence. Innocent chiefs were arrested and imprisoned, while Aboriginal murderers were publicly executed at Battleford in contravention of the law of the time. The now conquered people were forcibly confined on reserves, banned from hunting, saving seed or tending the forest and were subject to an extralegal system of pass laws which prohibited them from leaving without a written pass from the Indian Agent. He then denied rations to the people trapped on reserve, resulting in a government-organized famine. As James Dascuk shows in his recent award-winning book, Clearing the Plains, these were deliberate acts of genocide organized by Macdonald so as to empty the plains to make them available for European resettlement.
At the close of the 18th century, there were between 30 and 60 million buffalo on the continent. By the time of this photograph ( archive.org/details/buf… ), that population was reduced to only 300 – 400 wild bison left.
This time they are weaponizing food through genetic modification, oligarchs buying out all the seed companies, fascistic laws that prevent you from wild tending the forest, lacing your food with glyphosate and mass killings of farm animals like what just happened in BC under the guise of “public health”.
Make no mistake, this is statist regime and corporate warfare waged on you and me using food as a weapon.

In the west as colonial invaders sought to steal the land of the oak food forest tending people of what is now called California, a range of different tactics from overt mass murder, government funded (mercenaries paid per head) scalping of indigenous families to more nefarious methods to force inferior grain agriculture onto the food forest tending peoples.
For a clear view of what that looked like, I will share an excerpt from Feed us with Trees, written by Elspeth Hay
in my search for present-day acorn eaters, I picked up a book titled Salmon and Acorns Feed Our People.
To write it, author and Euro-American sociologist Kari Marie Norgaard compiled interviews with dozens of Karuk people, including Reed. When I started paging through it, I found not only a wealth of information about Karuk food production and acorn-tending practices, but also a rewriting of my understandings of American history and mythology. In Norgaard’s book, I read the first version of a story that I’d eventually come to see has played out across the Northern Hemisphere time and time again over the past thousand years — one that explains my own people’s disconnect from the abundance of nut trees, and one that stands at the heart of our current agricultural collapse.
The short version goes something like this: Once upon a time, a people tended nut trees to produce abundant food. But then their land was violently stolen, and the conquerors forced them to become grain farmers.
Norgaard’s book, which I tore through, was one of the densest, saddest texts I’d ever read.
When I finished it, I connected with her, and she introduced me to Reed. He and I started talking over Zoom during the long first months of the COVID-19 pandemic and spent hours talking about acorns. The Karuk — who often refer to themselves as “fix-the-world people” — are Indigenous to the area known today as northern California; and for millennia, they’ve managed the mountains and rivers of the Klamath River basin to produce an abundance of salmon and acorns, the two major traditional staples of the Karuk diet. The oak grasslands of California, while different in their climate and species composition from the oak savannas of the Midwest, are nonetheless open landscapes dotted with large, sprawling oak trees. And like the oak savannas of the Midwest, the hills of the Klamath River basin have historically been filled with a host of edible and delicious food species (planted and tended, aka a food forest). I’d read that historically, acorn soup — also called acorn gruel or mush — was the chief daily staple of more than three-quarters of California’s Indigenous People, and when I started talking with Reed, I was curious to know what this acorn dish tastes like, and how in Karuk culture the nuts are gathered, processed, and cooked.
During my conversations with Reed and through regular searches of the Karuk language dictionary, I learned all of that and more — in fact, a whole new acorn-related vocabulary. Karuk speakers have more than ninety words related to the English word “acorn”; words that refer to every intricacy of tending, gathering, processing, and cooking their staple nut. (There are a mere nine in English, most of which simply refer to things that look like or are shaped like the nuts of an oak tree.) I was not particularly surprised to learn that — just as there are specific scientific names for different species — in the Karuk language, there are specific words for the acorns of the tan oak tree, the scrub oak, the black oak, and the maul oak. But from there, the words delved into astonishing nuance. I learned that there’s a word for knocking on an oak tree to make acorns fall. There’s a word for picking up acorns from the ground, for gathering lots of acorns, and for standing up with a pack basket full of acorns on your back. There’s a word for cracking acorns, a word for having a work party to shell acorns, for soaking acorns and for straining them, for winnowing and for sifting acorn meal. There are yet more words for the finished products of acorn making: a word for coarse acorn meal, another for acorn flour, and words for every step of the process of making acorn soup and eating it. There is even a word for a person who is a good acorn soup maker: taxvaváyav..
..I now knew that the violence between the Indigenous Peoples of the West and English-speaking Euro-Americans had started as soon as we showed up in 1848, and that 86 percent of all Indigenous Peoples in what is now California had died by
1880-either murdered, starved, or from disease. I knew that in Karuk towns, people who looked like me had killed 70 percent of Reed’s people between 1850 and 1873. And I knew that just after California was officially named a state in 1850, the newly formed government had put a price on indigenous Peoples’ heads; if Euro-American killers brought in the scalp of an Indigenous person, they were paid five dollars plus reimbursement for additional expenses incurred in “the hunt.”
I’d dug into the crevices of history and learned the facts that our culture does its best to gloss over. During these three-hundred-plus years of con-flict, we’d committed a long list of atrocities that we now openly condemn as war crimes: viciously killing women and children and the elderly, purposefully spreading disease, burning towns, and targeting entire food systems.
In the Klamath and other regions of California, I knew now, this focus on food systems had been particularly intense. At first, U.S. settler-soldiers arriving at the Pacific Coast in the 1840s and 1850s had remarked repeatedly on the abundance of what they saw as “wild” plants, fish, birds, and game animals. “The rivers are filled with fish of the largest and most delicious varieties, and the sportsman and epicurean can find on the Tulares everything their hearts can desire,” wrote James Carson, a sergeant in the U.S. Army, of his time in California between 1846 and 1852. Other new arrivals described herds of elk, deer, and antelopes “in such numbers that they actually darkened the plains for miles,” wild oats covering hillsides like a “cloth of gold,” “quail by the thou sands everywhere” of “fat and of excellent taste,” wild geese so numerous that they lookea like “a quivering white blanket,” and salmon so delicious that “when made into chowder or stewed in claret, they would have thrown into ecstasies the most inveterate Parisian gourmand.”“. We know this thanks to authors like Kat Anderson, who pored over first-person accounts while researching California’s imperialist history. Yet at the same time, Anderson and others have pointed out, both U.S. and earlier Spanish arrivals (who began exploring western North America in the 1530s and colonizing California in 1769) had condemned the way Indigenous groups lived and ate. It was a strange mix of sentiments.
“No doubt these Indians passed a miserable life, ever idle, and more like brutes than rational beings,” wrote California missionary Gerónimo Boscana in the 1820s of the Acâgchemem (Acjachemem) people, who, like the Karuk, tended oak trees to produce acorns as a staple crop. “They neither cultivated the ground nor planted any kind of grain, but lived upon the wild seeds of the field, the fruits of the forest, and upon the abundance of game.”% These differences in food production were then used to justify violence. As soon as California became a state, federal Indian Agents negotiated eighteen treaties with Indigenous tribes, including the Karuk, that would have given them 7.5 million acres of land— an area representing 7.5 percent of the state’s land base-to practice traditional food production.
But the treaties were never ratified. A Special Committee on the Disposal of Public Land, appointed by the state legislature in 1852, opposed ratification and instead proposed that Indigenous Peoples be assigned “a parcel of land.... sufficient for them to cul-tivate, and with every laudable means to be used to induce them to do so.” The Committee further advised that any Indigenous Peoples who were already “engaged in cultivating their soil” should be left alone, as they were “already in the best school of civilization.”
Converting people such as the Karuk to Euro-American grain farming, l’a learned over the past two years, had in the second half of the 1800s become a sort of national obsession.
“The history of agriculture among all people and in all countries intimately connects it with the highest intellectual and moral development of man,” Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Atkins wrote in an 1885 report. “Historians, philosophers, and statesmen freely admit that civilization as naturally follows the improved arts of agriculture as vegetation follows the genial sunshine and the shower, and that those races who are in ignorance of agriculture are also ignorant of almost everything else.”
This idea that Indigenous Peoples knew nothing about agriculture became a common argument for stealing the land they’d been promised in treaties, and for killing them if they resisted. As U.S. Indian Agent Thomas Twiss summed up the Euro-American justification in 1859, it was the Anglo-Saxon responsibility to “stimulate and bring forth the vast resources of agriculture” to supplant the “scanty and precarious supply of food” currently produced in western North America so that “mil-lions of human beings” could live on the land now home to only “a few thousand of rude barbarians.”
Never mind that many tribes tended agricultural crops like tobacco, and never mind that Atkins was proposing to “teach” Indigenous Peoples to farm the very grain- corn-that had saved the first English settlers who arrived in Virginia and Massachusetts more than 250 years earlier, ignorant of their new surroundings and starving. Now that Euro-Americans wanted the West, Indigenous land was considered “waste & useless” and “required” for farming. I’d learned that in 1887, Atkins had helped Massachusetts Congressman Henry Laurens Dawes pass the Dawes Act, also called the General Allotment Act or the Dawes Severalty Act, which had nationalized a program of forced farming. And I knew that beginning that same year federal allotment agents had been sent to reservations and tribal lands all over the country and were tasked with parceling out land-assigning 40, 80, or 160 acres to each applicant depending on the site and family size— and that the agents had first started carving up Karuk lands in the Klamath River Basin around 1910, five years after the federal government had claimed 1.04 million acres of Karuk Aboriginal Territory as public land through the U.S. Forest Service.
I knew that this area had encompassed 117 Karuk villages and their traditional food production and fishing areas, and that the possession had made traditional acorn production essentially impossible, primarily because of the ban on cultural burning.
I’d read through a series of oral histories taken by Karuk descendant and current U.S. Forest Service research ecologist Frank Lake, who spoke with Karuk and neighboring Hupa and Yurok elders. I remembered vividly the description of one Karuk elder who had applied for an allotment in the family acorn orchard he’d helped his grandmother tend as a kid. “They wouldn’t give it to me,” Earl Aubrey Jr. told Lake. “Said it was more valuable for timber than it was agriculture.... And yet that was our food. That was more important to us than their god damn potato or god damn tomato plant.”
If we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.
Well my friends, you and I (and everyone else that is not a billionaire) are the new “redskins”.
Cultivate food sovereignty now or you will be at their mercy in the years ahead.
This is reason number 12 on the following list:
For more on how the government uses Food As A Weapon in a War waged on you and me, read this, this and this.
Considering the realities I exposed above, I would like to invite you to remember that we are not powerless when it comes to whether or not the racketeering operation that is war (whether it be kinetic warfare or psychological warfare) continues or not.
In this war truth, health, freedom and the economic prosperity of the vast majority are the most likely causalities. This war is not fought with bullets... instead one of their most powerful weapons of choice is found in our living rooms.
The corporate oligarchy that sits atop this globalized totalitarian regime has made their intent clear, mass murder and the violation of our bodies in order to implement a new type of slavery.
The choke hold on financial transactions we witnessed them test run during the Freedom Convoy protests in Canada is just the beginning of what they have planned. Only those who are heavily invested in the living economy of the Earth will be capable of escaping the crippling effects of the strange hold that is intended to be tightened through this ongoing economic/psychological war and this final push of colonialism (in which the sociopaths behind this global crime against humanity intend to invade, conquer and subjugate the last remaining sovereign territory, The Human Body).
Despite the reality of this desperate and viscous attempt to mentally subjugate, physically kill, experiment on and dominate billions of human beings, we should not despair as it only takes a single candle to light up an entire room filled with darkness. I will now share something my friend John posted recently: “Stand tall & proud. Fear no one. You are made of the stuff of the universe. The force that animates you, is eternal & can be seen in all of the forces & expressions of nature.
Freedom is the foundation of spirit & being. It’s your birthright. Freedom is an attitude & a way of living. It’s not added or subtracted by other men. They can only pretend. You are the real deal.
Your body & mind were given to you as a gift.
They are yours. You are perfect imperfection.
No other commands you unless you permit it. If you suffer while fighting for freedom, unseen forces are at your back. You are never alone.
Your potential is still unknown to you. Only with great challenge, opposition & struggle, can you come to know it. That’s why you came here, to the school of hard knocks. Because you know deep down that you are here on a mission to find out what you’re made of & report back to the source of all things.
Forge on warrior. Nature wastes nothing. Ignore the pessimists & the scoffers around you.
The heavens guide you.” -David Whitehead
We can become an unstoppable global movement of satyagrahi. We can choose to continue to live our lives with joy, respect, purpose, love and clarity in our minds and hearts, refusing to affirm the legitimacy of insane fascist biosecurity mandates, technocratic edicts, war propaganda and peacefully do as those during the civil rights movement did.
We can choose to shine light on the truth through living by example and showing people there is a better path than fear, endless conflict, war and conformity to insanity.
We can show the oligarchs that we can thrive and exist in peaceful symbiosis with Mother Earth, each other and our fellow non-human beings without their dogmatic fear systems, wars, corporations, experimental synthetic products and corrupt degenerative government systems.
Finger pointing without taking responsibility for how our choices feed into the above listed parasitic industries/institutions is just scapegoating and excuse making. They cannot continue their deadly games without our complicity in supporting their systems.
Many who are fully aware of the challenges we face and seek a path to a better world and bringing about a new paradigm for mankind wait for others to do the groundwork so that they can find sturdy footing. In truth, we are all the co-authors of this story, we cannot just point our finger accusingly at the ‘bad guys’ and then hope some ‘savior good guy’ will arrive and solve our problems for us. The actions each of us choose are the stepping stones and the beliefs we give our energy to are the mortar that holds them in place. We are all (each and everyone of us) the architects and sculptors of the path we find laid before our feet. Whether consciously or unconsciously we are weaving the fabric of the reality we will experience. We ‘vote’ for what this consensus reality we all share will become tomorrow with our dollars (through what types of corporations and institutions we feed into perpetuating or withdrawing our support from), we ‘vote’ with our decision to speak truth (even when it is socially awkward or professionally risky) or outwardly conform (which in essence equates to ‘voting’ for the tyrants to stay in power and continue to garner more influence).
For this reason I included a section in Chapter 13 of my book (which is titled the Regenerating Communities and Nurturing The Gift Economy) that focuses on Voluntaryism.
Here is a link to some supplementary reading on that same subject which provides more in depth ideas (than I was able to fit into my book) relating to the immorality of involuntary governance (what we live under now) and the practicality of alternative ways of organizing our communities and broader society: https://ia802504.us.archive.org/10/items/the-voluntaryist-handbook-a-collection-of-essays-excerpts-and-quotes/The%20Voluntaryist%20Handbook.pdf
Each of us can do our part to become the antidote for a world full of humans that have been indoctrinated into a belief system that embraces endless war.
We can chose to become beacons of peace, confidence and hope (embracing food and medicine sovereignty), embracing True Wealth through aligning our own well being with the well being of the living economy of the Earth and withdrawing as much of our support from institutions (that are responsible for perpetuating manufactured wars) as possible and instead choosing to focus our energy in the direction of healing communities, finding common ground and becoming the ones we have been waiting for.

The Speech That Military Recruiters Don’t Want You To Hear by Casey Carlisle
from the speech linked above:
“Before we get into this, let’s discuss what most would label “a hypothetical.” Tonight, I’m going to break into your home, point a gun at you, and rob you – all the while claiming that I’m not your enemy. Your enemy, I’ll say, is elsewhere, and I don’t mean across the street but in a different country. What will you do? By a show of hands, will you fight back and protect those in your home by evicting me or even by killing me? By a show of hands, who will thank me and travel to said country in search of the enemy, leaving those in your home vulnerable to me? Anyone? Nobody? It sounds absurd, but for reasons that I’ll soon explain, you’ll understand that it’s more real than hypothetical.” - Casey Carlisle

For info on a group that engages in conscientious refusal to pay taxes for avoiding funding the war racket, check out:
https://www.consciencecanada.ca/
Their purpose is described as:
“As conscientious objectors, it is not enough to avoid personal military service because we know that funds taken from us in the form of tax will be used for war and other violent purposes. In other words, we know that we will be made complicit in war through our taxes no matter what our beliefs and values might be.As Conscientious Objectors we work so that any funds that we turn over to government will be used only for peaceful purposes. We therefore call ourselves Conscientious Objectors to Military Taxation (COMT).
Conscience Canada works to empower our members and all of society:
• to assert their conscientious objection to having their money conscripted, and earth’s resources exploited, to pay for war and preparation for war;
• to champion the peace and well-being of all humankind; and
• to demand an end to all complicity and support for war and militarism

Thank you so much for writing this. It takes bravery to speak this truth.
It is sick. And disgusting. And so sad.
