I’m tired of supporting activists who claim to be “holding power accountable” or “speaking truth to power” or “changing the world”. Machiavelli tells us that none of those events ever happen.
Until now, Jeffrey Tucker’s Brownstone outfit was claiming to cause change in the circles of power, but never showing any real change. Now Jeffrey is aiming at a more realistic and more Machian goal.

No one in Trump’s circles wants any talk of this subject, even if every bit of the current national crisis (health, economics, cultural, societal) traces to those grim days of lockdown and the ensuing disaster. We are very far from gaining anything like transparency on what precisely happened.
The situation today is quite the opposite. Again, Trump’s team long ago accepted a tacit agreement to make the issue go away. This was initially in the interest of securing the nomination (never admit error to your voters). But it soon became an accepted doctrine in those circles. Trump’s opponent wants it this way too, of course, except perhaps to say that Trump didn’t lock down enough soon enough.

He then compares the “virus” situation to 9/11, another fake panic sponsored by the same Bush family. For the first 4 years all power was totally united behind Bush, prosecuting the “truthers” who at that time were mostly D. The consensus gradually unraveled, and by 2016 even the media could state the truth.
I was on the side of power in 2001. It took about 6 years to start asking the right questions, and writing this blog helped to organize my questioning. I didn’t ANSWER the right question until 2011, after I threw away the television that had kept me phase-locked to the fake Fox/CNN argument. That’s 10 years.
Now, without the TV phase-lock, I can ASK the right questions immediately. But I’m undoubtedly finding some wrong answers. It’s inevitable.

Public and intellectual pressure does speed up the timeline. And in this case, we have an interesting sociological development, as Bret Weinstein has pointed out. The censorship and cancellation campaign hit the wrong groups. These people are now seriously motivated to make a difference. They will not let this pass into the history books. They have a passion for truth and a fiery demand for justice. It was for them the trauma of a lifetime and it will not be forgotten.

The monsters will never be prosecuted or removed from power. Bret Weinstein is a good example of the best we can hope for. Weinstein is a courtier, not an aristocrat. He is strictly orthodox in every way, a loyal witch burner until the torch burned him. He didn’t abandon his orthodoxy, but he lost his enthusiasm for barbecuing the unorthodox.
= = = = = START REPRINT ON COURTIERS:
There are three basic types.
1. Emperors.
2. Courtiers.
3. Peasants.
Emperors are psychopaths. They need total power over the lives of everyone. They need to destroy and obliterate.
Courtiers are people who need to obey personal authority. Cults, whether described as cults or parties or teams, are made of Courtiers.
Peasants don’t need personal authority. They need to work and live, dealing with other people and things as necessary.
Orwell called the three types Inner Party, Outer Party and Proles.
Lately I’ve been noticing the dominance of Courtiers in places like Quora. Most of the questions are focused on superheroes, both evil and good. (Evil = Trump/Hitler/Putin, Good = all other superheroes.) High-IQ leaders, high-wealth leaders, high-power leaders. I think there’s an autistic flavor in Quora, but the Courtier dominance is everywhere.
= = = = =
Courtiers are willing to sacrifice all of their status and pleasure in order to be just like the Emperors. This is the point of vulnerability, the place where the Sucker Filter grabs them.
Emperors know all the secrets and never sacrifice anything, because they know the sacrifices are fake. When you write a story, you know it’s fiction.
Depending on the era, Courtiers give up sex or alcohol or meat or furs or cars or plastic or social contact or breathing, in order to be more like the Emperors. Courtiers do the dirty work. They try to shame the Peasants into making the same sacrifices. This works on some Peasants who have partial Courtier genes, but most Peasants simply aren’t interested in Being Like The Emperor.
I fell into the courtier trap in hippie times, until I realized that our “activism” and “sacrifices” were being run by Deepstate for cynical DNC purposes. No, it was worse than that. I saw the cynicism IMMEDIATELY but managed to hide it from myself until it piled up so deep that I couldn’t ignore it.
The courtier trap: The Emperors have superior holiness and superior knowledge, so they must have a good reason for tricking us and exploiting us.
You can’t break out of the trap until you realize that the superior knowledge is NOT knowledge of Nature or knowledge of God; it’s just authorial knowledge. The Emperors know how to write a story that will destroy civilization, and they know how to recruit loyal unpaid warriors to do the dirty work.

THEY KNOW IT’S A HOAX BECAUSE THEY WROTE THE HOAX.
