"As further evidence of Qanon’s intelligence (gag me) community links, a relative in Your Author’s extended family fell victim to the psyops. This lady was an anti-Trump liberal who got interested in Qanon, turned 180 degrees philosophically, then became a recluse spending all her time internet surfing for Qanon information. By totally separating from her family and looking into divorce, such an extreme turnaround demonstrates the psychological operations (psyops) depravity behind the Q."

But reading blogs like yours doesn't have that effect? I know dozens of depressed paranoiacs online who generally follow the Evil Cult Explanation by haunting blogs like yours. It's not that I don't find claims of ritual abuse, blackmail by pedophilia, etc. incredible; it's that a) attempts to fit it all together into one vast overarching conspiracy of evil by definition stretch the credibility of such claims to a point where cognitive dissonance about feeling cognitive dissonance creates more cognitive dissonance, and b) always pointing the finger at entities largely outside our normal ken or range of power, inherently disempowers inquirers.

Insisting that it all fits together creates its own disassociative state, one that tends to isolate and alienate the inquirer not just from fellows but from self.

In the end, I no of no better message than the opening lines of an old R.A.Heinlein novel, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistrees:

"My old man taught me two things:

Mind own business.

Always cut cards."

As soon as we submit to arbitrary authority outside our circle of verifiable trust, things begin to twist awry and even bend sinister. This also applies to information sources like yourself. Even in this article, there is more data to be vetted, and too much of it essentially unverifiable, to justify one trusting the claims you make here... even though I personally believe most of the claims you make here.

I don't have a problem with the claims themselves. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely.

I have no problem with the idea of alien or other-dimensional entities including divine and demonic. I have an extremely open mind.

I have no problem with believing your honesty and sincerity, as I perceive it, nor with your fidelity to the sources you cite. You maintain good data hygiene between speculation and confirmation.

I have a problem, I suppose, with how so much of the alt. community more or less worships the concept of vast monolithic evil like some Golden Calf, rather than doing what Jesus told Satan to do: "Get thee behind me." Stop obsessing on the inconceivable cruelty that this world creates without our permission or conscious assistance. So there's evil in abundance all around us. That is all the more reason to focus on doing good -- not in opposition to evil this-or-thats, but to simply make goodness, the only antidote to evil. Doing goodness without permission may get you killed but you'll die clean and no one gets out of here physically alive, nyet?

No, I am not a Pollyanna. I'm all for carrying guns and shooting any cop that looks at me cross-eyed. (I don't do this but I think it's perfectly valid behavior.) I am all for taking the law into one's own hands. But... I'll let this guy say it:

The focus being not destroying the Death Star but on, er, trusting the force, I guess. raise your hand if you believe in holy magic. I do.

So, thanx for all the research. I know how grueling it can be. But must we feed the beast with the adoration of our obsessive fear-based disgusted hatred? Fear-based actions are ultimately doomed even if they provide short-term security.

Yes, the power structures of the world are run mostly by degenerate imbeciles albeit with fairly high IQs and social presentation skills. This has been true, best I can tell, since we first figured out how to reliably make more food than we need. Surplus is something we fight over and use to fight with.

Ritual abuse of infants is beyond the imagination of most of us. (There's an old cyberpunk novel, When Gravity Fails, where the McGuffin is a neural recording of an infant being tortured to death. People would jack in and die from horror.)

But the Romans and many other polities publicly tortured men, women, and children for the amusement of their subjects. In broad daylight. Their intellectuals debated whether merely watching real violence was bad for their moral/mental/emotional health, much like today we argue over whether or not watching violence and depravity in cinematic form is bad for us.

Sorry for the rambling text: this is difficult stuff to lay out. I'll close by noting how you and most of the more-or-less alt. ilk rail against collectivism while seeking to build (this is an assumption on my part) an audience by which to collectively do something about it. Me, I'm so anti-collectivist I don't worry about any one's soul but mine... unless they decide to share theirs with me. (It happens.:) ) What people in large numbers do I treat as the Inevitable Stampede, i.e. civilization. Unavoidable at this point. Too late to stop now. Progress will run its course into illusion and oblivion.

God: "Who taught you that you were naked?" We're always trying to fix things that we don't understand... like reality. When we started using rocks and sticks to make tools so we could kill and consume more efficiently, we rejected life in favor of prosthesis. Like e.e.cummings said:

"A world of made

is not a world of born --- pity poor flesh

and trees, poor stars and stones, but never this

fine specimen of hypermagical

ultraomnipotence. We doctors know

a hopeless case if --- listen: there's a hell

of a good universe next door; let's go

E. E. Cummings"

Now we can't imagine life without air-conditioned cubicles and on-demand big-screen brain-washing.

But please, whatever anyone does, don't take me seriously. I am indeed earnest and try to be honest, but seriousness is not good for human beings, imo: https://boscohorowitz.substack.com/p/wise-folly

I appreciate the depth and passion with which you approach these complex and often troubling subjects. It's clear that you have invested considerable thought into these issues, and I respect that. However, I must respectfully disagree with some of the perspectives presented, particularly regarding the nature of conspiracy theories and the impact of engaging with them.

While I understand the concern about the potential disempowerment and isolation that can result from believing in vast, overarching conspiracies, it's important to recognize that different sources of information and belief systems can influence people in various ways. Just as some individuals may feel overwhelmed or disillusioned by mainstream narratives, others may find solace or purpose in alternative viewpoints. However, this doesn’t inherently validate either extreme.

Your point about the potential for cognitive dissonance in trying to weave together all these elements into a single, unified theory of evil is well-taken. It's true that such efforts can lead to a kind of mental and emotional strain that is counterproductive. It's essential to maintain a balance between healthy skepticism and a grounding in verifiable reality, especially when discussing sensitive and potentially harmful topics like ritual abuse or pedophilia.

I also appreciate your call for focusing on positive actions and promoting goodness as an antidote to perceived evils. This is a valuable perspective, emphasizing constructive engagement over fear-based reactions. However, I would caution against dismissing the validity of collective action or the importance of societal structures, even as we critically examine their flaws.

In summary, while I resonate with your desire for a more constructive and less fear-driven approach to addressing the world's issues, I believe it's crucial to be mindful of the impact that both mainstream and alternative narratives can have on individuals and society. It's a delicate balance to strike, one that requires constant self-reflection and a commitment to verifying the information we choose to engage with. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and for the thought-provoking discussion.

Aye. I just wanted the downside perspective to be considered... especially since every word we type or utter via electronic media is analyzed by AI and then used to create more red herrings and more counter-counter-counter-cognitive dissonance ripples. Not that I have any interest in -- or hope -- for collective (ach!) resistance, but I do have hope for people to enjoy some peace of mind and even expanded capacity to love as they come to grips with life on a more-or-less prison planet.

Regarding collective action, I'm a total believer in the monkeysphere of Dunbar's Number.

I'm all for collective action by a very local cohesive group of no more than 150, and if we're being realistic, no more than 20-50 since modern life has eroded virtually all our cultural inheritance skills of genuine personal social cooperation along harmonious unifying themes (like staying alive, eating well, helping each other raise children, defending against marauders).

But beyond that, especially in our modern panoptical hyper-mediated society, I see large collective action as social vaporware, ephemeral cohesion over distraction issues, and just that much more data on how to keep us hypnotees hypnotized at least just a little bit longer for Big Bro.

I see change actually happening when things like war and resource reduction take away the internet and neighbors actually have to talk to neighbors and learn to cooperate and tolerate that sumbitch Trump voter or that airhead Biden-believer across the street.

At that point it won't matter to them what large collective evil globalists are up to. They'll be too busy fighting over/learning how to share resources and actually deal with each other as people not as political abstractions that either enhance or detract from their precious "lifestyle".

For now, I'm all for alternate views and digging for facts. What I'm against is obsessing over tying it up into a tidy bow. What this mostly does, that I've seen, is turn discourse into a combination of yea-saying echo chamberists (the dance around the Golden Calf I mentioned before) and dueling conspiracy theorists fighting over whose bottom line is bottommost (to me not unlike centurions casting lots over Jesus' robe after His crucifixion).

And finally, I'll reiterate that What Is Wrong/Who Is Doing It should be heard, but no more than What To DO About It. By that, I don't necessarily mean prepper nuts'n'bolts, etc. Plenty people covering that. I refer more to emotional survival. When we're done wailing woe is us! and woe unto Babylon! as we dance around a fire-glown golden calf, and call it bad names and denounce away, we might want to work on singing Kumbaya together, stuff like that. Stuff like this:

"Blow on the coal of the heart.

The candles in churches are out.

The stars have gone out in the sky.

Blow on the coal of the heart

And we’ll see by and by." Archibald Macleish, J.B., a play about Job and Sarah.

This was one of the most heinous crimes in a small town. Given time they all three caused doubt. But few other than the courts believed them.
