I believe there will be pockets of civilization on every continent. Those who haven't been injected with the tracking platform. Those who are willing to throw away their fondle slabs (cell phones and tablets) when they see that the end is near (like when we are required to carry them to buy, sell, work, or participate in the beast system). Those who are willing to endure some hardship. All of these kinds of people will exist everywhere and will eventually find one another. It's going to be a scary, lonely, desperate time for those of us willing to do what it takes and if we die in the process, our true hope will be that others who come behind us will take up the enduring torch of liberty and eventually there will be freedom on the earth once again. Thanks for baring your soul in this latest post. Most thought provoking.

I think you are probably right Rob, there will undoubtedly the odd few who somehow manage to squeeze through the noose. Maybe it will be us Substackers, then we can rebuild the world as it should be. All I ask is that at least one of us is a died in the wool farmer.

Oh don't get me started on the farming thing. Haha. My lineage is all farming and ranching and I know how to do a lot of it but I'm getting too old for that stuff on a large scale. And young people don't care to learn in my experience. A young couple bought the house next to me where an elderly couple lived for more years than I can count. Their interests? So far, what's been moved in is a giant camper, harleys, snow mobiles, 4 wheelers, giant TVs, a great big brand new pickup etc etc etc and trailers to carry all of their toys with them everywhere. And is it paid for? Doubtful. (and it's none of my business) This is what we will have to overcome. The mindset that life is just a giant party and entertainment is all that matters as long as we can get beer and McDonalds. I see that kind of thing and it makes it really hard to be hopeful. Not saying that it's not okay to have some fun stuff. But when our priority is just more material stuff we really don't get it. IMHO.

Unfortunately Rob, I think you've just described 90% of the Western population. My mum taught the evil of credit from a very young age. If I couldn't afford something, I went without or saved for it. When I see kids with the latest iphones it just rams it home. I know their parents, they are not that well off, why couldnt they have an old peice of crap. Its good enough for me.

They're GONNA WANNA learn. Wait and see.

Shit is gonna change, like a tadpole to a freakin' big ass toad.

With a heavy duty job to do, we buckle in, buckle down, and kick ass.

I am reminded of a day I spent working in a high security mental institution here in the UK. It was terrifying. The people I was expected to deal with were beyond insane. They were operating with faulty equipment, relating to a reality that I could not see or hear. They were locked permanently into a mindscape that could not be changed, only artificially suppressed or restrained. They were, in most cases, completely oblivious of the harm they were doing themselves and others.

THAT is who you are dealing with, Rob. Intransigent psychotics with an equally psychotic plan that they believe in wholeheartedly. We cannot reach them because they think that WE are the crazies; we are the wronguns.

I don't want to ever be on their wavelength and they don't want to be on mine.

It is a division that I do not think can be breached.

I first read Homo Deus when it came out, back when I read The Guardian, I wasn't fully red pilled or the least bit spiritual at that point, to be honest I was a bit of a nihilist and depressive. I thought it was interesting and bit freaky but I had no idea who Harari was then. Now I absolutely see him for what he is.

Thank you Stegiel, I've not heard of Vico. I'll look in to him when I get a spare moment.

YEAH. You're not wrong. We're in deeeeeep shit.

We're gonna suffer, us regular folks. It's gonna get bad.

But we're gonna rise above, we're gonna rise above.

Here's where we fish or cut bait. Shit gotta change, and like we keep finding out, things have to get pretty bad before we get up and fix 'em.

Okay, let's start gettin' up and fixin' 'em. Ready, set, GO!
