Things As They Really Are??

(Faux-socialists? Faux-polarity? Part Two)

Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterized by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production, as well as the political theories and movements associated with them. Social ownership may refer to forms of public, collective or cooperative ownership, or to citizen ownership of equity. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them, though social ownership is the common element shared by its various forms.
[Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism (accessed February 4, 2018; footnotes not included; bold emphasis added)]

So, if social ownership is the common element in socialism, why is it so rare, almost non-existent, in so-called socialist countries?

What if it's all a fraud, a facade for “elites” to hide behind as they maneuver assets into smaller and smaller concentrations of their ownership and control?¹ Where was there ever “social ownership and democratic control of the means of production” amongst so-called socialists? When has promised equity ever flowed to the people?

Why can we not see that the majority of gains from labor, capital, and property, for the entire duration of history, in every nation, kindred, tongue, and people of every stripe and system, has always² flowed upward into private fiefdoms of those who, without conscience, pursue (and protect) increasing levels of power and gain?

Is this not the unvarying way of the sociopath / psychopath; the way of the Korihor-type?³ How long till we acknowledge that all the high-sounding phrases and pretend compassion of elite-socialists is all a game of hide and seek—hide true motives and machinations, all the while seeking the goodwill, support, and assets of those they dupe?

Do we ever ask ourselves why all the elite-socialists are rolling-in-dough? Do they assuage their guilt (if they can muster any) with programs that pretend to “equitize” other people's money? Or is the seeming redistribution all for the sake of appearance, taking credit for the generosity or sacrifice of others? Look at all the elite-socialists. What if they are all just corrupted capitalists in disguise? Name anyone of them. And what if the elite-capitalists are all just (wannabe) oli-garchs, -gopolists, monopolists hiding behind facades of “free-enterprise,” “free-markets,” “competition,” etc. Name anyone of them.

As to the propagandists of “World Order”! not one of them has the remotest intention of establishing social, collective, cooperative, OR free-enterprise ownership. The New World Order is the ultimate left- / right-wing tyranny—the utopia of tyrannies—where the elites (those who survive the oligarchic bloodbath to establish top-dog dominion) will own everything and control everything, issuing order upon order to robots and to semi-robotic, disposable “humans.”

Why must we keep repeating these déjà vus? Certainly, there are many good people in this world, but the number of sociopaths and manufactured sociopaths,⁴ on both the right and the left, is increasing to the tinder-point. And when good people refuse to see—to recognize—the unconscionable, mendacious ways of sociopathic elites (and their willing lackeys), AND the déjà vus (that even initially good governments have always been taken over, in short order, by those obsessed with power and gain agendas), they will become unwitting, deceived accomplices to a tyranny that will destroy all the good they ever thought to do or preserve.

Let us wake up to the deceptions that surround us 360 degrees. Re-read Orwell's 1984. It's unfolding before our eyes.

2. Except perhaps for 1) the City of Enoch, and 2) during the reign of Melchizedek: both Biblical prophets. Perhaps for that reason, most of their history has been expunged.
3. Book of Mormon | Alma 30:17 ~ [Philosophy of Korihor, circa 74 B.C., Americas] “... every man fared in this life according to the management of the creature; therefore every man prospered according to his genius, and that every man conquered according to his strength; and whatsoever a man did was no crime.”
4. A manufactured sociopath is one who lies, cheats, steals, harasses, targets, tortures, abuses, kills, or does anything against his conscience at the behest of another because of fear, coercion, promised reward or favor, and so forth.

Faux-Socialists? Faux-Polarity?

Past time to wake up, folks! Do we really think that the Clintons, Obamas, Pelosis, Reids, Bidens, McCabes, et al. al. al. have the first notion what socialism is? They are first and foremost pawns (and future fall-guys) in an oligarchic game being played by their ghostly superiors / supervisors. These dupers / dupees have sold their souls for transitory sceptres, off-shore mega-riches, and rampant hedonism—the very same things that the power and gain “rightists” have always pursued (as in Bushes, McCains, McConnells, Comeys, Muellers, Rosensteins, et al. al. al.).

The so-called leftists have not the remotest intention of establishing “socialism.” It's all a facade to cover the One-World focus of a MEconomy where elites, left AND right, serve the agendas of their grasping masters till all (even their surprised selves, and that includes Mr. K.) become robotic slaves to a master oligarchy.

So why do we keep obsessing over left and right? keep dividing ourselves in service to a faux polarity? keep believing that Trump is a divinely sanctioned trump-card against those _____ socialists? Yes, Trump is somewhat unique in the presidency. His self-service is child-like egoic. He seems trapped in some level of pre-operational¹ unawareness. If he contradicts himself, he seems to genuinely think the past ceases to exist. If he denies his lies, he seems to genuinely think our cognitive abilities cease to exist. Most of his opposing elites know they are in service to a “higher” power-monger and acquiesce for the sake of their perks (though sometimes from fear) which they fantasize will last forever. But Trump? he doesn't seem to know there is anything higher than himself. He orders and ordains in the most general of terms (“buy, sell, get me off the hook, make money, make a deal,” etc., etc.) and his paid servants carry out the specifics they were trained and hired for; then Trump takes credit for the work, results, and ideas (unless the result is less than satisfactory).

If we have the integrity to review “conservative” Trump's demeanour, speeches,² tweets, history, grandiosity, mendacity, etc., etc. in a full 360 degrees, do we not see the face of Ayn Rand where service to self superseded service to anything broader? On the other hand, the faux-socialists liberally serve themselves on the way to a WO (World Order) that they seem to view as greater than any one person. BUT whether Trump-style or WO-style, the agenda is the SAME: power and gain.

So to all those who think Trump is divinely appointed; they may be right in some measure! At least the entrenched, secretive, criminal cabal of the faux-left did not prevail to perpetuate their cover-up of murder and mayhem from a presidential throne (though they are still trying in every possible way). As to Trump? his childish, egoic ways — spending his tenure self-serving as opposed to also WO-assisting — may leave some wiggle room for a few white-hats to be able to work a little justice, accountability, and restoration into corrupted governance. All the while Trump devotees will “seeing him, see not; and hearing him, hear not” the all-to-visible selfie character of the man.

So, get a grip folks. Trump is no savior; nor team-player (whether the team be good or bad). His self-focus / self-distraction / self-delusion just opens the door enough (we should pray) for a few good people to do something good while he is tweeting, TVing, and travelling.

But those who think Trump is knowingly presiding over a draining-of-the-swamp do not appreciate the nature of his self-delusion, or the full-spectrum extent of our global swamp, or the way power and wealth (or the perception of power and wealth³) corrupts. And those who think that the departure of McCabe or even 100 like him will drain this swamp are in for a rude surprise. Pulling the plug on McCabe or even 500 other power-pluggers will only drain a few compartmentalized fetid shafts. The global master(s) will re-plug all the drains with new, expendable pluggers. The global agenda is too far established for entrenched, hidden power to relinquish with an exposure or two, or even a thousand. The great deception will increase in sophistication, violence, and coercion. More faux-saviors will appear and we shall be suckered again and again if we refuse to see what we see and hear what we hear in full 360; and above all, if we do not persist with courage to expose and counter at every turn the sewage that sustains the agendas of the secretive oligarchy in their never-ending pursuit of power and gain.

“Alien” Agenda?

Considering the

▪ missing Pentagon trillions;¹
▪ gov't. / corporate obsession with secrecy;
▪ admission of a “black budget”;²
▪ proliferation of UFO witnesses;
▪ Reagan's reference to the usefulness of a common enemy (as in “alien”) to unite humanity;³
▪ many “alien” movies over the years;⁴
▪ repeated use of false flags and propaganda to manipulate humanity for purposes of pursuing (and protecting) power and gain agendas by persons without conscience;⁵
▪ etc. etc.

perhaps we could still learn a thing or two by listening to two credible witnesses concerning “alien”(?!) agendas:

BREAKING DOWN 'Cryptocurrency'¹
The anonymous nature of cryptocurrency transactions makes them well-suited for a host of nefarious activities, such as money laundering and tax evasion.

Hmmm ...... Looks like we might be in the midst of another run-up to a BUBBLE bath. Perhaps we need a history refresher? In March of 2011, I wrote a blog post entitled “Vast Fund of Stupidity [& Recycling Cupidity]”?!^[2] It began thus:

In memory of the birth of the South Sea Company^[3] (in 1711 – 300 years ago), Deja Vu Times recycles a few comments/quotes from the “bubble-bath” of 1720. These words from the 1700s are also recycled in memory of the many bubble-baths^[4] since and in expectation of The Great Bath (TGB) to come (sooner than later), if we don’t renounce this Vast Fund (and all its fundamentalists).

[See also: http://dejavu-times.blogspot.ca/2011/04/growth-funds.html]

Are we in a grandiose run-up to The Great Bubble Bath? Investopedia assures us that cryptocurrencies “are difficult to counterfeit” and “theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation.” Do the words “difficult” and “theoretically immune” offer sufficient comfort? Isn't the major overwhelming economic problem NOT that governments interfere and manipulate, but that private central banks continually puppeteer governments and economies on a global scale? And who really believes that the secret creators of cryptocurrencies have not engineered backdoors to monitor and control whatever they wish. Are we being bambozzled? Is what they promise the opposite of what is or will be? déjà vu the perpetual schemes of all those who pursue and protect power and gain?!

What do we understand about cryptocurrencies and their connections to AI? Could any of these videos help?

Hypocrisy of YouKnowWhoTube?

Before I could even post, recommending this shocking exposé of hypocrisy and marketing of children, the End Times News Report video was DELETED by the lords of increasing censorship. (Oh, déjà vu!!) Here is evidence:

EXPOSED! Dangerous Pedophile Rings & Child Traffickers On YouTube (Time 51:28) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elYJFbpo2vQ

Here is where ETNR explains the take-down of his exposé:

This explanation may also disappear in short order. If so, search his channel periodically for updates or try his vid.me channel for the exposé of adults-without-conscience who are sexualizing, filming, and uploading images of children (or of cartoon characters loved by children) for the (im)pure sake of ad revenues. ETNR's exposé should go VIRAL with a blowback to YouKnowWhoTube that will never be forgotten. Here is the ETNR initial exposé posted (hopefully) beyond the clutches of the lords of censorship.

Connecting the Dots ~ Exposing the Cons?

When media is in the ownership and control of those pursuing and protecting power and gain, what is the likelihood of truth being disseminated to the masses?

Does it matter whether the pursuer / protector is black or white? brown or beige? young or old? able or disabled? politically right or left? human or AI?

If your raison d'être were to increase power and gain, would you allow your owned and controlled media empire to spread the truth about your hidden agendas? your secret deals? your moral failings? Would you want anyone connecting the dots of your cons as you competed for the resources of the world? for the supreme position of all positions — #1?

Or maybe you fell for a “honey-pot” / “brown-stone” op and found yourself compromised such that your power and gain status was at risk of exposure and collapse? What would you not do to keep the truth under wraps? to keep the income coming in? Would you lie? steal? cheat? oppress? kill? Would you seek to compromise and blackmail others so they, too, would be “in control”? Would you falsely accuse whistle-blowers of the very crimes they seek to expose? Would you come to take pleasure in the success of your duplicities? Would you become addicted to the highs of deceiving the “low brows”? Would you revel in the deliberate, increasing incongruities you were able to get away with? in the fabrications that you were able to force others to advance for the sake of their paychecks and pensions?

So if media is owned and controlled by power- and gain-brokers, what is the chance for truth? What is the historical, déjà vu “pattern and practice”? to accuse upstart, non-conforming investigative journalists of fictional sins and crimes? — just like whistle-blowers? Is the pattern to deflect? disparage? destroy the true news? to swear by all that is high and mighty, low and despicable that “False News” is everywhere but where you are?

So to those who get their news and views from corporate-controlled media, the déjà vu truth is: Whether the anchor or reporter is Fox-, CNN-, MSNBC-, ETC.-affiliated, your diet is fat-cat-saturated and truth deficient.

Time to move on, folks. Unplug from the fat-cat MSM. Move on to the new news paradigm — those upstart alternates who risk reputation, life, and limb to uncover the cover-ups of power and gain agendas with facts, evidence, and accountability. As always, use one's head and discernment, but perhaps begin with some of these:

▪ The Corbett Report at https://www.youtube.com/user/corbettreport

And remember, the fat-cat "pattern and practice" is to malign, mock, and accuse all who threaten their standing and glory; and to reward willing, shilling others for doing the same.

“Operation Psychopath”?

aka: Operation Northwoods? (Etc.)

Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against the Cuban government, that originated within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) of the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other U.S. Government operatives to commit acts of terrorism against American civilians and military targets, blaming it on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba. The plans detailed in the document included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. Cities.[2] The proposals were rejected by the Kennedy administration.[3]
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
   (Bold emphasis added; reference #s refer to wiki website)

So, in the spirit of déjà vu, how long before we recognize that Operation Psychopath is but the umbrella reality of hundreds, if not thousands, of CIA / DoD / FBI / HSA / JCS / JTTF / NATO  / NSA / ETC., ETC., Operations that were NOT rejected?  And how many that were rejected, if any, became operational nonetheless, in secret?

Lyman L. Lemnitzer

Lyman (!!) Lemnitzer (1899-1988) was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and signatory to the 1962 Operation Northwoods proposal — the same Lyman who worked his way up through the U.S. ranks and decorations to four-star general in 1955. Does this serene visage give any hint as to the mind that could propose committing acts of terrorism against American civilians and military targets with the intent of blaming such acts on another government in order to justify war (or Strategy of Tension,² or p-r-s³) against the blamee?

Do we imagine this proposed false flag⁴ MO was just a Lyman aberration, peculiar but confined to 1962? What other deco-laden (left) breasts (on right-wing generals) might have a large measure of Lyman psychopathy flowing in red, white, and blue veins? Could one of those be that charming four-star general, ex-CIA director David BetraeUS?⁵ (Pardon the spelling.) Or as one writer describes him: “the poster boy for toxic leadership.”⁶

David H. Petraeus

And how about all those NATO generals that rubbed shoulders and schemes with Lyman during his tenure as Supreme Allied Commander of NATO from 1963 to 1969?

If one doesn't know about the secret machinations of NATO, read

Gladio, Nato's Dagger at the Heart of Europe: The Pentagon-Nazi-Mafia Terror Axis by Richard Cottrell (2015)

If one doesn't believe that American government (and nigh every government) has been corrupted to the core read:

or the myriad other whistle-blowers and witnesses who are being denied, suppressed, stonewalled, smeared, or eliminated.

Our world seems to have become one déjà vu after another of highly orchestrated “Operations” disguised as lone-wolfers, crazies, extremist cells, and freedom-haters. Deceptions, manipulations, and truth suppression by our psychopathic elites have been so successful, they seem almost not to care how sloppy their “Operations” unfold.

“Your Lawyers & Your Judges”

(LLPs or NOT?*)

Amazing how so many things recycle themselves from ancient times! as in

the foundation of the destruction of this people [has again been] laid by the unrighteousness of your lawyers and your judges.¹

Circa 82 B.C. ~ “Americas”

12 And now, when Amulek had spoken these words the people began to be astonished, seeing there was more than one witness [Alma] who testified of the things whereof they were accused, and also of the things which were to come, ... .
13 Nevertheless, there were some among them who thought to question [Alma & Amulek] that by their cunning devices they might catch them in their words, that they might find witness against them, that they might deliver them to their judges that they might be judged according to the law, and that they might be slain or cast into prison, according to the crime which they could make appear or witness against them.
14 Now it was those men who sought to destroy them, who were lawyers, who were hired or appointed by the people to administer the law at their times of trials, or at the trials of the crimes of the people before the judges.
15 Now these lawyers were learned in all the arts and cunning of the people; and this was to enable them that they might be skilful in their profession.
16 And it came to pass that they began to question Amulek, that thereby they might make him cross his words, or contradict the words which he should speak.
17 Now they knew not that Amulek could know of their designs. But it came to pass as they began to question him, he perceived their thoughts, and he said unto them: O ye wicked and perverse generation, ye lawyers and hypocrites, for ye are laying the foundations of the devil; for ye are laying traps and snares to catch the holy ones of God.
18 Ye are laying plans to pervert the ways of the righteous, and to bring down the wrath of God upon your heads, even to the utter destruction of this people.
19 Yea, well did Mosiah say, who was our last king, when he was about to deliver up the kingdom, having no one to confer it upon, causing that this people should be governed by their own voices—yea, well did he say that if the time should come that the voice of this people should choose iniquity, that is, if the time should come that this people should fall into transgression, they would be ripe for destruction.  ...
24 And now it came to pass that the people were more angry with Amulek, and they cried out, saying: This man doth revile against our laws which are just, and our wise lawyers whom we have selected.
25 But Amulek stretched forth his hand, and cried the mightier unto them, saying: O ye wicked and perverse generation, why hath Satan got such great hold upon your hearts? Why will ye yield yourselves unto him that he may have power over you, to blind your eyes, that ye will not understand the words which are spoken, according to their truth?
26 For behold, have I testified against your law? Ye do not understand; ye say that I have spoken against your law; but I have not, but I have spoken in favor of your law, to your condemnation.
27 And now behold, I say unto you, that the foundation of the destruction of this people is beginning to be laid by the unrighteousness of your lawyers and your judges.
28 And now it came to pass that when Amulek had spoken these words the people cried out against him, saying: Now we know that this man is a child of the devil, for he hath lied unto us; for he hath spoken against our law. And now he says that he has not spoken against it.
29 And again, he has reviled against our lawyers, and our judges.
30 And it came to pass that the lawyers put it into their hearts that they should remember these things against him.
31 And there was one among them whose name was Zeezrom. Now he was the foremost to accuse Amulek and Alma, he being one of the most expert among them, having much business to do among the people.
32 Now the object of these lawyers was to get gain; and they got gain according to their employ.²

2 But the more part of them were desirous that they might destroy Alma and Amulek; for they were angry with Alma, because of the plainness of his words unto Zeezrom; and they also said that Amulek had lied unto them, and had reviled against their law and also against their lawyers and judges.
3 And they were also angry with Alma and Amulek; and because they had testified so plainly against their wickedness, they sought to put them away privily.
4 But it came to pass that they did not; but they took them and bound them with strong cords, and took them before the chief judge of the land.
5 And the people went forth and witnessed against them—testifying that they had reviled against the law, and their lawyers and judges of the land, ...³

Circa 29 A.D. ~ “Americas”

20 And there began to be men inspired from heaven and sent forth, standing among the people in all the land, preaching and testifying boldly of the sins and iniquities of the people, and testifying unto them concerning the redemption which the Lord would make for his people, or in other words, the resurrection of Christ; and they did testify boldly of his death and sufferings.
21 Now there were many of the people who were exceedingly angry because of those who testified of these things; and those who were angry were chiefly the chief judges, and they who had been high priests and lawyers; yea, all those who were lawyers were angry with those who testified of these things.
22 Now there was no lawyer nor judge nor high priest that could have power to condemn any one to death save their condemnation was signed by the governor of the land.
23 Now there were many of those who testified of the things pertaining to Christ who testified boldly, who were taken and put to death secretly by the judges, that the knowledge of their death came not unto the governor of the land until after their death.
24 Now behold, this was contrary to the laws of the land, that any man should be put to death except they had power from the governor of the land—
25 Therefore a complaint came up unto the land of Zarahemla, to the governor of the land, against these judges who had condemned the prophets of the Lord unto death, not according to the law.
26 Now it came to pass that they were taken and brought up before the judge, to be judged of the crime which they had done, according to the law which had been given by the people.
27 Now it came to pass that those judges had many friends and kindreds; and the remainder, yea, even almost all the lawyers and the high priests, did gather themselves together, and unite with the kindreds of those judges who were to be tried according to the law.
28 And they did enter into a covenant one with another, yea, even into that covenant which was given by them of old, which covenant was given and administered by the devil, to combine against all righteousness.
29 Therefore they did combine against the people of the Lord, and enter into a covenant to destroy them, and to deliver those who were guilty of murder from the grasp of justice, which was about to be administered according to the law.
30 And they did set at defiance the law and the rights of their country; and they did covenant one with another to destroy the governor, and to establish a king over the land, that the land should no more be at liberty but should be subject unto kings.⁴

How naive so many of us seem about the latter-day lawyers and judges who for the sake of power, gain, and fame (or sometimes fear) have “set at defiance the law and the rights of their country” and who have covenanted one with another to destroy the rights of the people and to establish a tyranny of control over the land such that the land and people should no more be at liberty.

BUT thank God and goodness for the few lawyers and judges (and a few journalists and others) who have the courage to stand for truth, equity, and justice. For those (or their families) who have been targeted or murdered for taking that stand, their names shall, at some future time, be remembered as martyrs in the pursuit of truth and justice.

NOTE: Whether you accept the Book of Mormon as an authentic record or not, the insights and warnings are as relevant as any of those of George Orwell. SO, just as with Orwell, these words can open our eyes to things of great import and prescience. Therefore, please do not reject these words out of hand.

* Book of Mormon | Alma 9:28 ~ ... for the time is at hand that all men shall reap a reward of their works, according to that which they have been—if they have been righteous they shall reap the salvation of their souls, according to the power and deliverance of Jesus Christ; and if they have been evil they shall reap the damnation of their souls, according to the power and captivation of the devil.
