The more I hear, the less I know. Feeling a bit overloaded these days too much information, whether it be political, spiritual or otherwise. Sleeping lots, so I don't have to come back here. Like a depressing groundhog day that never ends. Are you getting this too?
Everyone feels this way I think. Which is one reason I wanted to publish this this message. It seems that that most of my coffee buyers think deeply about things.
Some historians have calculated statistics for successful revolutions. They require between nine and 11% support from the population which means most people just go with the flow. Individual voices are not heard but altogether they become an overwhelming shout.
Yes, sleep, read, walk my dog. I'm fortunate to be in beautiful surroundings and I put up four bird feeders. More come each day and they provide much enjoyment.
I read all of Julian's posts and many of the comments. I'm glad he mentioned MoA. I need to visit.
Here's my OffDaCuff reply to Bob or anyone else ranting about us losing our 'humanity' and as to why - you can't see why because you REFUSE TO SEE WHY!
Your mind is already made up with presumptuous presuppositions about 'humanity' set in DaConcrete of your mind - in effect making you DaJudge and jury of life based on nothing more than your own experience. WhoTF do you think you are -GOD?
That's enough from me now - www.crushlimbraw.com - it's only taken me 25 years to begin the process of discovering that everything I was taught was bullshit and propaganda - but thank God my eyes were finally opened to begin unloading that shit out of my mind.
It's up to you, bud - but first get the idea out of your mind that you understand fully WTF is going on - NONE OF US DO - we only see through DaGlass DARKLY!
The 25 years you mentioned prompted me to tell you that I went through a similar process that culminated in an existential crisis when I realized the lifelong error of my thinking. We've been lied to our entire lives! We were afflicted with the manufactured mental disorders of Russophobia, Sinophobia and Islamophobia. I was a full fledged Neocon Dupe and supporter of the zionist state.
I know of another who had a similar experience and ended up in a psychiatric ward! He's ok now and doing great and doing good work here on Substack.
Besides Julian and my friend Ian Kummer (reading junkie com), I love to read Caitlin Johnstone and Roslyn Ross. Substack has so many great writers!
It was Ian's father Larry (fabiusmaximus.com) who took the time to mentor me over a 20 year period. Larry went quiet and Ian took over the site while building readingjunkie.com.
A couple weeks ago I thought they were breaking free of the Trump trance, but alas it was short lived.
Not to pick on A & A, I mention them because for the first couple years of the American proxy war in Ukraine under the Biden puppet they offered the most accurate & relevant analysis.
In the early days of Judge Nap's rise, some of his guests also offered such good insight. But now Judge Nap is unwatchable. His questions are inane and most of his guests are deeply deluded western exceptionalists.
For a while Alex Krainer offered a lot of good insight, but his credibility is now shot due to his worship of God Emperor Trump & his 10d chess mastery.
Larry waffles between Trump is a buffoon & there might be hope yet.
Same with Ritter.
Sachs & Mearsheimer are useless Jewish American exceptionalists.
Virtually the entire "alt media" that we turned to for more accurate information & analysis than was/is available from any mainstream source, have now revealed themselves to be blinded by their programming borne of living in the west and subjected to brainwashing propaganda 24/7/365.
BUT there is reason to hope. The entire western system is on the verge of collapse.
I know this sounds scary & painful. Because it will be very scary & painful. But it is the only way the brainwashed sheeple of the west have a chance for freedom from the current western slave system.
Very important to understand- when the west collapses, the rest of the world will likely experience an economic boom.
7 billion out of 8 billion on earth live outside the "west".
Imagine the opportunities available in this mass of humanity.
You are going to have to leave the west to access these opportunities. If you think or feel you shouldn't have to do this or refuse to do this- enjoy the collapse.
Your comments about alternate political streaming commentators mesh perfectly with my observations of their work. I stopped my subscriptions and monetary donations.
For your last paragraph, I myself will not be leaving the West due to age -- a lot of it. But I routinely counsel my brighter students to investigate further study in China for these institutions feature English language tracks in mathematics, physics and material sciences.
A brilliant take on just how depraved the west, led by the US of Atrocities, is, and has been. Very much a reflection of my own thoughts, I'm glad someone put it in written form. Well said Bob, I hope this gets shared widely and gets people thinking at least. 🙏🙏🙏
I totally understand Bob. In the last 5 years I have lost my faith in humans/humanity: first with COVID, then with the war in Ukraine, finally with the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the Middle East crisis (Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, etc.), not to mention blows and disappointments in my personal life (at work and beyond). Now I do not trust anyone anymore. After all, if you cannot even trust the authorities in the country where you live, how can you trust someone?
We are indeed living in a dystopian present. I have recently finished reading George Orwell's "1984"... it's f***ing crazy how accurately it depicts our broken society!
Sometimes I think what I am doing here in this world. My previous employer was driving me crazy, the work environment where I work now is better, but it is not aligned to my aspirations and I feel useless. The reason why I started my substack was to find some meaning in my life: trying to open other people's eyes on what is going first of all in Palestine and the Middle East, as well as Ukraine and the rest of the world, providing alternative points of view, both my own and from other Italian sources. It takes time and energy, but at least it gives a meaning to my life.
I see human beings zoologically. First of all we are animals ruled by our genetics. Second we do not live in our natural environment but in an artificially created one that perverts are nature. Do not blame nature. Blame nurture.
I cannot read all that is published, so i probably miss many very important articles and video's.
When i read:
"My whole effort over several decades of daily hard study has been to figure out how and why that has occurred. And I’m not talking just the past few years or decades or even centuries. I am talking about a steady increase (in dehumanization) since the development of agriculture." (by Bob)
I recognise this sensing as absolute reality as is possible in words.
I even went a bit longer back for the Origin of what i call for lack of anything better: 'Evil' or Unnatural or non-Human, or inhuman, 100.000 years back, when Homo Sapiens lost the Jungle where their Nature was as 'Social Prey Mammal Species', eating nuts, fruits leaves and roots, developed Language, tamed Fire and started eating meat and hunting animals, so that nowadays we are a 'Social Predatory Mammal Species', who still have not found peace with this change, de-humanisation as Bob correctly names it, that goes against our Nature.
For those who missed my article 'The Origin of The Monster', published too by Julian:
And I often ask myself what must happen for a person to be born and raised to be at least as good as me. I'm not saying that I don't have mistakes or don't make them, but I try not to be naive, to investigate things to the core, at the same time to have sufficient distance from things and, above all, to try not to lose my head and not to be vain. I'm really happy if I find someone like that, and we exchange a few experiences and insights, or views, and that's where the real discussion works.
In my opinion, everything is about the core, that is, about something that needs to be deeply felt in things, and last but not least, to be recognized deeply in ourselves. And I feel that the problem is that many people are lost, misguided, they don't find the core within themselves, which is thrown away by superficial mechanisms, habits, dogmas.
The more I hear, the less I know. Feeling a bit overloaded these days too much information, whether it be political, spiritual or otherwise. Sleeping lots, so I don't have to come back here. Like a depressing groundhog day that never ends. Are you getting this too?

Yes, sleep and garden.
I don't have a garden. I just clean my room.
Garden and protest... Not going to let folks forget what's happening in Gaza for a second.
Some historians have calculated statistics for successful revolutions. They require between nine and 11% support from the population which means most people just go with the flow. Individual voices are not heard but altogether they become an overwhelming shout.
Bring on the evolution.
Yes absolutely. Sleep and books.
I know sleep but what is this thing called a book? Oh! A kind of historic artifact?
Cannot move in our house.........books abound! Maybe we should leave our apartment to a new Museum. French people do read a LOT.
Yes, sleep, read, walk my dog. I'm fortunate to be in beautiful surroundings and I put up four bird feeders. More come each day and they provide much enjoyment.
I read all of Julian's posts and many of the comments. I'm glad he mentioned MoA. I need to visit.
Yes MoA is much better than listening to Mercouris or the peripatetic pod casters.

I'm glad you mentioned Ian Kummer. Too often neglected.
It was Ian's father Larry (fabiusmaximus.com) who took the time to mentor me over a 20 year period. Larry went quiet and Ian took over the site while building readingjunkie.com.
The old story of how to train a mule - first you whack him with a two by four between the eyes to get his attention - that's my story!
Damn right, Crush!
Mercouris & Alex have lost the plot.

The boom for the global majority is the bright side.
