Why I Didn’t Produce A YT Channel in 2017:
I started out with a series of videos based on the John C Miller books and my thoughts about them. When the meme war insurgency of 2017 began in earnest it just seemed pointless to continue. It was too hard to make sense of the insane news cycle and everything that was happening.
A cacophony of voices in the alt-media, all questioning the official narratives about everything, created a firestorm in 2017 - up to nearly the spring of 2018, the present time. To be sure there have been great independent thinkers and researchers among them who have made important contributions; And not without justification there have been a loud and continual chorus of angry, but less innovative, activists making their voices heard.
Now it appears that the meme war per se is entering a new phase. The social media monopolists have, in a sense capitulated. Until now they employed subtle and even deceptive methods to quell the insurgent outcry, and to silence certain individuals; all of whom were collectively outspoken critics of institutional and government abuse and corruption.
In the end the monopolists have resorted to outright banning of individuals from their platforms. And through intimidation, extinguishing those voices that continue to exist on the platforms. Ironically, resorting to “boot on the neck” tactics was a kind of capitulation, the monopolists have in effect pulled back the curtain on their true agenda, they have “taken their ball and gone home.” So now what? What does all this mean for the future?
Worst Case Scenario: The public now faces the spectre of irresistible power, and with technocratic strategies like the “Smart Grid,” the “Internet of Things,” the elimination of the use of currency, and with populations forcibly placed into ever increasing dependence on their governments for the necessities of life; and totally managed and controlled by a corrupt and co-opted government/media/entertainment complex, military/intelligence industrial complex, and the financial and corporate sectors; all in the hands of all-powerful overlords, consisting of a loosely organized and despotic set oligarchic factions. Due to the sheer scale in terms of population and complexity, and globally integrated systems of control, the modern the world, more than ever before, to be dominated in effect by a massive oligarchy, capable of a degree of social engineering, control, secrecy and dominance that was, by many, not been thought possible. And in those nations claiming to have a representative form of government, ruled by institutions that are flat out “kakistocracyies ” Institutions that no longer even offer a pretence of serving the people. ( Max Igan)
A kakistocracy (English pronunciation: /kækɪsˈtɑkɹəsi/) is a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the 17th century. It was also used by English author Thomas Love Peacock in 1829, but gained significant usage in the 21st century.
Best Case Scenario: Institutional failures across the board and a popular consensus demanding reforms across the board; perhaps even global in scale. Given the general trendline it does seem that we cannot, and will not, return to the pre-2016 world. However, there remains great uncertainty as to whether or when real reforms may be realized. While it is reasonable to argue that the current presidential administration means well, there is no firm basis for confidence regarding its precise intentions, or perhaps more accurately what it believes is necessary, and possible to accomplish, particularly without a much more clear popular mandate . Congress is a lost cause for now; and probably for the indefinite future, for largely the same reasons. The judiciary continues to wield tremendous powers exceeding what is permitted under the constitution, largely due to a surrender of power by the other two co-equal branches of government; and in particular the utter corruption of congress. To a great extent the judiciary is defining public policy, and in that regard there is no end in sight; a bad omen indeed. Overall, it’s possible that the chaotic and ambiguous conditions that exist now could continue indefinitely, for years, even decades. And a long period under these conditions would not bode well for the chance that the people will be successful in having their voices heard or of reasserting their rights.
Prognosis: This is a situation defined by an extremely complex set of factors. There is a great degree of opacity as to the strategies in play; and ambiguity regarding the facts and the potential outcomes. In the meantime the mentally numbed-out population is, in the face of a dominating set of mind-control strategies, being individually called upon to start thinking for themselves . And to what degree that is even possible is still a serious question. It is possible, though far from certain, that the idea of human liberty will, at least be partially, be successful in asserting itself, and a period of reform and correction will play out. We could possibly pull back from the brink, this time. But there remains far too much uncertainty to be confident that a new evil Phoenix will not arise to replace the one that existed prior to 2016.
The outcome of the American war for independence was largely uncertain, until Yorktown
The outcome of the American civil war in the 1860s was largely uncertain, until Gettysburg
The outcome of World War II was uncertain until the German’s committed a major strategic error moving against Russia only to suffer a catastrophic loss.
History always repeats itself. But the question remains, which history?
