Everything is a scam
Just as the article we posted yesterday discussing propaganda, today we follow up with the fact that most propaganda is an obvious lie or scam (take your pick).
The picture or facade many folks put up online is an illusion and not real.
Our money is a scam.
The narrative is a scam.
Traditional education is a scam.
Big pharma is a scam.
Government is a scam.
Most giant companies/cooperations today is one giant ponzi, they rarely make profit and a scam/front for government.
War is a scam.
School type government education is a scam.
Our built environment is a scam (I live in Dubai, everything is artificial).
Big Agri (most food in supermarkets) is one giant scam.
This is becoming obvious to more and more people which in turn will likely force he powers that be to clamp down on dissenters in an authoritarian fashion and drive the centralization of all aspects of society.
Hoping that people wake up fast.

Article from Chris Bray via Tell me how this ends:
Two things I can’t prove, but that seem to be the emerging shape of the world.
First, everything is a scam. We had twenty years of war in Afghanistan for what turned out to be no apparent purpose, then that stopped, then a big new war started. Wars cost lots of money, and who has time to account for it all in the heat of the fighting? It feels like we’re going to always need to have a war going on, because it’s useful. We’re starting to see the faintest outlines, through the manufactured fog, of a money-laundering operation in Ukraine, as FTX collapses but only after the midterms. That failed company had really weak corporate controls, by the way, and no one can say where all the money went. What an unfortunate and surprising failure — just billions and billions of dollars that no one will ever trace or find. We’re so disappointed that all that lamb can’t be tracked, the fat wolves say.
The AP factcheckers offer a warning today that conspiracy theorists are spinning baseless claims about FTX and the Ukrainian laundromat, so mark that one down as “probably true.” War is a racket, the pandemic is a shockingly lucrative racket, a bunch of insiders are getting paid, government officials have offshore accounts, and the news is a cover story. Policy is about 90% pretext. Anyway, that’s my current mood, and I’m pretty confident it’s widely shared. Here’s some dangerous extremism:
Second, the WEF-lite G20 meeting in Bali this week ended with an agreement in principle to impose vaccine passports on the world, a chilling example of the growing centralization of power, but booster uptake remains parked at 8%. So the performance of technocratic domination is increasingly met with a shrug; the self-declared Masters of the Universe are mostly perceived as a circle jerk on a life raft, out to sea but too busy with their mutual onanism to notice.
So the trajectory looks to me like an increasing performance of centralized power on paper, against the reality of national populations that mostly check out and wander away. Digital money and travel controls will be real forms of power, so it’s not clear who wins in the end, but the pretense to power has natural checks and balances in a world of normal human beings. I see what they intend, but I struggle to feel authentically frightened of these people:
We’ll see.
