1/Regarding the coordinated attack on the dollar being perpetrated by a swath of domestic and foreign actors, some argue “they cannot be successful, so why be concerned?”

January 6th wasn’t successful, but it was still incredibly damaging and costly…
2/…and we are still dealing with the fallout of that. Also, what “makes sense” and “what they think they’re doing” are two different things. I’m telling you, loudly, what they think they’re doing:

They think they are going to take down the dollar and replace it with crypto.
3/As with Jan6, it is the *attempt* that will be damaging, regardless of whether it is “successful.”

We also don’t know where the cult has allies in positions of power. Nancy MacLean went as far as to suggest a “fifth column” intent on taking down the gov’t, and that seems real.
4/A significant cohort in this effort are practicing theosophy “New Thought” cult tactics to try to “manifest” outcomes in the world; witness Flynn talking about dollar collapse, Dorsey blabbering about hyperinflation irresponsibly, Musk making/moving markets.
5/They’re trying to use their own bro/alt-right flavored version of chaos magick to crash the dollar and the US economy on Biden’s watch; not so much to benefit Trump, though that would happen, but to settle the decades old grudge over Roosevelt and the loss of the gold standard.
6/We are literally re-litigating the New Deal here folks. It’s that simple. These folks want “gold” and hierarchy back in control so the “real” masters of society can assert themselves once and for all and regain their “rightful” position at the top.
7/Theosophy is appealing to these folks (and to Nazis) because it posits the existence of an eternal history of “Ascended Masters,” mirrored in the earthbound world. In this model, folks like Musk, Thiel, Mercer are “worth more” because they have more wealth.
8/Anyway, I repeat: this is what they think they’re doing and they’re going to do it. I said so this spring and they have followed the playbook as predicted. Either we interrupt this or we deal with Jan6 2.0: Dec3, the dollar version. @USTreasury @federalreserve @SECGov
From “Democracy in Chains,” Nancy MacLean, 2017. h/t @danehrlich11
It should be obvious that this is incompatible with democracy. The premise here is that democracy is a kind of mob rule that subjugates “makers” (the rich) to “takers” (the mob, or majority).

This is a fascist worldview and project.
People like Joe Rogan are being employed as an on-ramp to expose the public to these ideas and the people carrying them in an accessible “just asking questions” regular guy way, normalizing fascistic tendencies. It’s very insidious.
This is what they are doing; trying to manifest things in the world through the manipulation of symbols and psychology. (Note: this is basically what entrepreneurs do, too — most often ethically.)

Focusing on 'disinformation' helps the bad guys by decoupling tactics from the actors and motives behind them. It also allows 1st amendment to be used as a shield and complication.

We need to focus on the actions + influence of people trying to destroy gov't and institutions.
We don't see enough people tracking campaigns back to the source and then disrupting their operations. If we are intercepting messaging on social, it's too late.

We need to foil operations and increase expenses for those perpetrating these information attacks.
I was just searching for academic papers that connect disinformation to monetary policy, gold, or cult dynamics and didn't find anything. That's obviously a cursory check, but *nothing* on this, academia? Please show me the papers.

So… who’s ready for the virtual 3D future where you wear a thing on your head and interact with friends and strangers in pretend spaces, while data about the whole world is harvested, stored and sold?

It really makes me wonder if they have done any market analysis on this or if this is just a case of “build it and they will come” they’re using to prop up their failing business model with the promise of a future built on heavy speculative cap-ex. Seems to me like a huge con.
Zuck is a dysfunctional sociopath trying to make the world more like the way he wishes it was. He is the problem here. Get him out of the company, and problems go away. Should he lose any of the current suits, it is very difficult to see how the board can justify keeping him on.

1/Americans need to learn about "political technology" — specifically how groups, religions, and cults function as levers of control over the masses.

Many have noticed that many American "Christians" don't seem to be following the teachings of that religion. Like, at all...
2/And that is correct. That's because American "Christian" factions have been weaponized for political purposes. The point of these groups is to reify themselves around their own social in-group, and against enemy out-groups.

That's it. Jesus, etc is window dressing.
3/Religions also have the advantage of operating tax-free and being self-sustaining. So they are very capital efficient in terms of organizing people into weaponizable factions. While some of these groups do have 'dominionist' and messianic designs in mind, they are controlled...

Democrats are trapped in a world of norms and labels, when the opposition, which includes Republicans, foreign adversaries, double agents, and spies, has abandoned every norm in favor of all-out war across multiple fields of battle: social, cultural, financial, political.
Two such double agents rhyme with cinema and mansion.
Sooo… mysterious. 👻 🎃 🛸 What could possibly be going on here? This dude is pulling a Cassandra Fairbanks but is in the Senate, basically.

Countries don’t function like households or small businesses. Inflation does not function the way popular imagination thinks it does. This talk offers good insights into why 99% of what’s thrown around as “obvious” is both facile and wrong.

Likewise, while taxing billionaires more is probably a good idea, it is a tangential problem to creating the public goods we actually need, and promotes the idea that all wealth is a zero-sum endeavor—which it is not.

In fact, that’s a pillar of Nazism and the alt-right.
When people on the center-left succumb to zero-sum ideas about wealth, they are subscribing to a hierarchical model of society, with winners and losers: the same model behind “replacement theory” and xenophobic fears about immigration.

Personally I’d really like to know more about Mo Brooks’ involvement in the decision to move Space Force to Huntsville, and whether that agreement was made in exchange for anything.
Because one week after January 6th, Brooks put out a press release touting his achievement.

And why was this so secret, Pentagon? Had to be kept quiet til January 13? Hm. Chris Miller + friends? 🤔

“I committed to the Pentagon to not comment on this good news for the Tennessee Valley and Alabama until after it had been made public by the U.S. Air Force later today”
