If you are still struggling to understand what is happening in global politics, please listen to this episode of this podcast.

It’s an excellent overview of the ideological beliefs that are the foundations of Putin’s and Russia’s motivation. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…

It provides the historical context for Russia’s war on Ukraine. It explains the global appeal of this narrative and identifies the people most in support to remove liberalism and create a world where absolute authority reigns.

If you’re stuck on “it sounds like a conspiracy theory” then don’t bother.

But if you want to understand the historical context and the level of danger the globe is in, please listen.

For skeptics who are in denial and deluding themselves with poorly constructed illogical rationales why this is just conjecture, I assure you, it is not.

There is always a reason why people act. Whether you are open to knowing that reason, is up to you.

Putin is not the only believer of this alternate reality. Which IMHO is the only issue I have with the podcast’s information.

Several super wealthy and powerful people support this effort fully, and await the security of absolute power their class once held exclusively.

As we watch in horror the atrocities being committed by a cornered and desperate Putin, we must remember, Putin did NOT claim this power by himself. He had much assistance from likeminded oligarchs, avarice fuelled Dominionists and Corporate powers.

Climate change has always presented this problem as a possibility. Precisely why the delusional progressive left who continue to offer simple solutions to extremely complex problems and then blame those attempting to address the complexity are such an annoyance.

If I hear or see one more fricking ignorant tree hugger claim how simple the solution is, I might implode. Ditto with the anti capitalist socialists who dream of utopian bliss in their own echo chamber and encourage all to join in their delusions and simplistic fantasies.

If that offends you ~ tough!

I’m referring to an existential threat. One that threatens your life as well as mine and my children’s. So I’m not willing to entertain anything but the ugly truth and actual reality.

I neither have the patience or time to entertain your feelings.

This threat by Putin, his ever growing Russian and foreign crop of oligarchs, is not guaranteed to fail. In part because reality has become a subjective construct and libertarianism has infested the global group think.

I will not entertain your delusions. Nor should you.

This battle is over world order.

We can NEVER return to pre Covid reality. A shift in power dynamics is underway.

Who wins the right to define reality is the current situation in Ukraine and across the globe. Putin will increase his brutality and abuse of his power.

He intends to win the war and there is no turning back. From this point forward we go into the unknown. There are no guarantees. This isn’t Hollywood and we can not wait for the happy ending.

This is real life and historically, these people have always won.

The masses of the globe’s population have always been controlled and manipulated by the narratives this wealthy elite offer. Whether through religion, dehumanization of the ‘other,’ or the Noble Lies this class of people use for indoctrination.

Religion is used to control the masses.

The homogeneity of ethnic supremacy exists in BIPOC nations as well as Eurocentric nations.

There are no shining cities on a hill. Those are myths we fervently believe to define our superior identity & block out our own craven mistakes.

There is much beauty, love and compassion in the world. But there is also much ugliness, hatred and indifference as well.

Humanity is a complex and ironic Darwinian experiment. Unfortunately the strong have an advantage over the compassionate.

Their lack of concern for others permits them to perform whatever it takes to stay in power.

Until you acknowledge and comprehend that reality, you are a liability to our collective survival.

They don’t care if we survive. They only care about maintaining power & control.

This is a battle for our right to determine our own reality. Instead of having it imposed on us, like every other era in history.

If you can’t see that, you’re part of the problem.

If you can see it, identify and describe it, you’re part of the solution.

It’s time to pick sides. You don’t have the luxury of remaining ignorant and revelling in your own constructed reality.

Because if you do, that’s a choice that leads to our collective annihilation.

And I am not going down without a fight.

In case you’re confused about what atrocities are occurring: this kind. War crimes to destroy resistance and dissent of Ukraine from being subjugated by Russia.

And in case you’re struggling how constructed reality is being used to destabilize Canadian democracy. Here.

Two or three completely separate echo chambers define current reality in Canada. Which one is actually real?
