The Great Reset: Micro Reset (Industry and Business)

“For some, like entertainment, travel or hospitality, a return to a pre-pandemic environment is unimaginable in the foreseeable future (and maybe never in some cases…). For others, manufacturing or food, it is more about finding ways to adjust to the shock and capitalize on some new trends (like digital) to thrive in the post pandemic era.” Page 174.

It is clear, with the policies set under the Biden administration and others around the globe, there are certain industries that are to die out and never be seen again. The movie theaters are open again but unless you live in Texas or Florida they are not at full capacity and two states cannot keep an industry going that is already losing money with film productions shut down due to social distancing. Hollywood is literally supporting their own demise with their support of lockdowns. Some will say that it will come back and that they have enough money to wait it out but if theaters are closed is the industry going to convert to digital and work with only a fraction of their income. Wonder Woman 1984 might be the last big budget movie produced with the way it was released in a handful of theaters and a streaming release that made no money. The sequel to a hit movie turned into a huge flop because of Covid-19.

78% of jobs in the US are in the service industry. How does a person serve others with social distancing and limited seating space? They don’t. Restaurants already function with a limited income and that is when they are full. If they don’t have a liquor license they don’t survive. To tell a restaurant they come only function at 25% is to tell them to close their doors. Meanwhile, fast food is still operating with small spaces in the kitchens and handing out crappy quality food through drive thru windows to people who should be eating healthy to fight a virus. This is not the case and for some reason the government says it is okay to offer low quality food to those who should be eating better during a pandemic.

What is this obsession with “Post Pandemic”? What does this really mean? It would appear that while the people in charge continue to tell us that eventually we will go back to normal they have no plan to actually let that happen. There has been an attack on the food industry as well. Production facilities have been shut down. Employees test positive for a virus they show no symptoms for and they don’t get sick or die from it. Yet, the business is shut down and people lose money. The business loses money and employees. The animals that were being processed are a waste and sacrificed to the god that is Covid-19. There is no evidence that food tainted with Covid-19 will transfer Covid-19. This is why we cook food. To kill bacteria and viruses that might be on the food. This is why eating things like raw spinach is more likely to make someone sick from E Coli than eating a steak. One is cooked and sterilized the other is not washed properly and not cooked to kill any germs. At yet we keep hearing stories of tainted food and processing centers shut down.

Digital, the answer that Schwab loves to hang on, does little to help society. Humans are social creatures. We need face to face contact for communication. Digital doesn’t replace dating or business meetings. When you enter a contract with someone it is always good to meet them face to face to figure out if they are lying or trying to swindle you. As one story goes, a man goes golfing with a possible business partner. During the game the man starts to cheat in order to have a better score. Afterwards the man asked his wife what she thought. She pointed out the man was a cheater and not to do business with him. the man followed her advice and later they found out the man had become the business partner of a company that caught him embezzling money and later sent him to jail. The things that are being pushed in order to adjust businesses for the post pandemic future are bound to aid in their failing under these conditions.

SJW ideology in the Atheist religion

There is a new secular religion that is infecting the country and it is called critical race theory. This ideology has been brewing in college campuses and fringe groups for decades. It was not that long ago I watched it infecting a new minority group that was finally starting to make progress with the Intellectual Dark Web and the Four Horsemen. Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett sparked a curiosity into secular beliefs that indirectly resulted in YouTube channels and podcasts related to the subject. As a recovering Catholic who married into the Methodist church, became a Buddhist and later didn’t know what the hell I was, I too became curious of the forbidden belief of no god. The more I read and learned the more things began to make sense. The reoccurring question that atheist had to argue against was the subject of morality. While answers were given the question never went away and I think, although I don’t know for sure, this may have been the downfall of the atheist movement. We don’t hear much from the four horsemen these days. Hitchens is dead. Dawkins is usually putting his foot in his mouth. Sam Harris has a hit podcast but it is so long winded I don’t know who is listening unless they prefer not to listen to anything else.

During my time as an atheist, I listened to a weekly podcast called Atheist Airwaves, the show is still available, but a hurricane in Texas put an end to the show. As I listened to the show and became swept up in the hosts and their lives, I started to learn that there was more going on than the idea of “a life without god.” During one show a host named Jay was arguing that women can’t just sleep with anyone. Life has consequences and every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I agreed and added in the comment section “Just don’t fuck assholes. It’s not hard.” For two days I received emails, messages, and comments on the video about: women’s rights, victim blaming, feminism, a woman’s right to choose, etc. To make the harassment stop I finally said, “women can sleep with whoever they want.” This topic, the subject we were discussing had nothing to do with atheism but the host argued that the ideology supported “progressive ideas.” Before is knew it had happened, the ideology that had been based on science and intellectual thought was now being taken over by wokeism, but that term did not exist at the time. Looking back, it makes sense, the lead host, Christian Ferris, worked at a university and was also a recovering Catholic. The term social justice warrior was starting to make the rounds and everyone online was hitting the keyboards trying to make a difference by spreading insults, doxing, harassing, and working at having people fired for grievances as small at using the wrong pronoun. Then wokeism came for the podcast.

A guest was invited to the show and via Facebook a small but vocal campaign was started to keep the guest from being on, and if they were allowed to speak threats were made that the show was be ruined. The main culprit was some third-rate atheist activist who claimed to be a veteran, bisexual, celebrity with a girlfriend sporting the name of some supermarket fruit. I can’t recall if it was Kiwi, coconut, mango, or banana. Somewhere along the list it will show up but frankly I don’t care to remember. For hours threats were made and I joined in the campaign of punching keys and following the attackers back to their Facebook pages where they were plotting how to dox, start a smear campaign, and start calling places to have people fired. Then I appeared in the chat “hey fuckface!” Clearly these people didn’t know how to keep their pages private and for the next three hours we exchanged insults. I took screen shots of their conversations. Photos were sent to me of the celebrity’s ass. In the end he blocked me and the podcast never heard from him again. Through all of this I learn an important lesson. Atheism is just another religion like anything else. I thought there was one fundamental belief, there is no god. Instead, I watched people fight and bicker about the most minute things. Friendships were destroyed. Marriages ruined with the introduction of polyamory and other deviant behavior. Watching the atheist was like seeing a libertarian community try to figure out the rules to their new utopia. The buildings crumble and the pipes leak. The grass doesn’t grow from the motor oil being dumped on the lawn. The river catches fire and you can’t leave because somebody else owns all the roads. What could have been a good idea, a community to enjoy and relax with turned into a screaming match of ideology that rivaled the BLM protestors of today. Science quickly stopped being the measurement of thought and ideas and it was quickly replaced with feelings and primal needs. What should have evolved mankind to another level instead de-evolved people into primal apes fighting to become the next alpha to claim all the women.

I stopped listening to Atheist Airwaves when I got a new job. A year later I looked it up on a day off and found that the show no longer existed. People moved, got divorced, or continued to clean up beaches to try to make the world a better place. There was good that came out of the movement. Community clean up was a part of the local group in Corpus Christi. The more that the group explored atheist ideas the further it ventured away from the simple ideology, there is no god. Dr. Darrel Ray was a repeat guest on the show, a man who wrote about religion being a thought virus and later pushing polyamory and orgies at his house. It wasn’t uncommon for him to make sexual advances on co-hosts of the show. It did not take long for a sex cult to evolve from the atheist movement. It was going to happen like it does with any new religion and Dr. Darrel Ray was going to make sure he was going to get his fair share of the action.

Towards the end I found myself longing for the days of highly intellectual writes with their whiskey and cigarettes typing out their thoughts and changing the world one opinion piece at a time. As time continues on those voices become fewer in numbers, replaced with Adderall laced misfits that seek “likes” over intellectual credibility. Dawkins came and went, catching our attention with a few books and slowly losing credibility with each talk he gives. Sam Harris has a loyal following but his monotone nature is better equipped at putting people to sleep rather than convincing them of anything. Hitchens, the love child of Gore Vidal and William F, Buckley, sadly died early in what could have been a long and involved career rivaling his mentor Vidal. I doubt we will see another movement of this magnitude in the atheist community. As of 2021, atheist became the largest minority in the United States with churches now reporting their congregations at half of what they once were. While the community of non-believers is rising there is no longer a voice to carry it and I fear that it is being taken over by wokeism. If I had to guess, many of the ANTIFA people wearing black and hitting reporters with bike locks are likely atheists who don’t claim any religion but follow an ideology. You don’t have to do much to be an atheist, and maybe those activists in the early days were on to something when it came to creating an ideology to follow. Afterall if they had pushed the idea of non-violence as an atheist maybe the riots of 2020 wouldn’t have happened, but if there is any thing, I learned about atheists in 2015-2016 it’s that they will fight and argue about anything. As one wise man once said, trying to get atheist to follow anything is like trying to create an army of cats.

Louder with Crowder permanently demonetized on YouTube

A few weeks ago, I posted on this blog a video link to a Louder with Crowder episode that showed evidence of voter fraud in the state of Nevada. As of today, that link no longer works, the video removed by YouTube for violating their newly created standards. A few hours ago, Crowder connected with his followers on his other channel Crowder Bits and that video was removed as well for trying to bypass the ban. Previously on YouTube it was policy to temporarily ban one channel but that would not affect the others. This new policy is directed straight at the host Steven Crowder.

It was only an hour ago as I write this that the question was mentioned, is the vaccine passport the mark of the beast? I can’t think of a better way of stating what we are already seeing. Crowder just lost a good chunk of his revenue for questioning aspects of the election and there is a good chance that his channel will not be allowed to broadcast live via YouTube in the future. We have already seen this with Alex Jones. Now we have the vaccine passports which is not a new idea. In Ireland, a document was released showing that the EU and Ireland were already planning a vaccine passport back in 2019, before Covid-19 or the pandemic.

What we are seeing is a new level of control after the lockdowns. “Continue to do what we say and maybe you can have some fun, but in a way that we approve, and when we want you to.” While some states and countries are opening up and their covid case numbers continue to go down, other states with lockdowns and control measures continue to go up. I have the feeling that a war is coming. Something we have never seen before. There is already tension between the federal government and the states of Texas and Florida. Not only are there tensions regarding covid policies but also with gun laws and states turning into 2nd amendment sanctuaries. There were times during the second Bush administration that marijuana dispensaries in the state of California were raided by Federal agencies. What happens when federal marshals go into a state that still stands by the second amendment and starts to arrests their citizens for what are considered legally owned firearms according to state law and the constitution?

The way the Biden administration is running things I would not be surprised if this is the end of the federal government. 28 plus trillion in national debt and quickly climbing, new policies and laws that contradict the constitution and state’s rights, and a love affair with the Chinese Communist Party. Biden recently had a meeting with historians to find out how fast he could implement laws and social policies before he lost total control of the house or senate in two years. Banks are starting to use ESG scores to figure out if you are able to receive a loan. This new score has nothing to do with credit, instead it grades you on Environmental, social, and governance. Do you own a gas sucking pickup truck? That is a low E score. Do you support BLM or other similar organizations? That will affect your ESG score. Have you been vaccinated? This could determine if you are governed well. Between the passport, the ESG score, and the monitoring of your internet data, the level of control over the lives of people is astounding. There is even the talk of a mileage tax that will use GPS navigation from either your car or your phone to determine if you drive too much and tax you per mile. You already pay a gas tax at the pump when you fill your tank, imagine if you also had to pay the government a dollar for every mile you drove after that. This stuff is coming and some of it is already here.

There is a Facebook group of public-school teachers that are collecting information on parents who are opposing critical race theory in schools. This information is gathered and shared for future retaliation. Remember how AOC said they should make a list of Trump supporters after the election? Before the George Floyd trial started jurors were asked questions about vaccines and lockdown policies. How they answered those questions determined if they were removed from the jury or not. There is a purge taking place. George Orwell was wrong when it came to how bad this could get. While Trump was putting tariffs on Chinese goods Biden decided to put tariffs on electronics coming out of the UK, our ally.

We are in a weird upside-down world where nothing makes sense and everyone around us appears to be losing their minds. People scream at strangers in the supermarket over mask. When a man is attacked by ANTIFA and pulls a gun to defend himself he is arrested instead of the attackers. Two black girls carjacked and killed an Asian man in Washington DC and it is not considered news worthy. Six months of non-stop riots across the country that were considered a first amendment right. One day of protest at the capital building where people were escorted in by security and it is called an insurrection. Fauci and the WHO are correct that we need a plague but Covid-19 isn’t it and it is doing a really crappy job.

Industrial Society and its Future: Oversocialization

The following post is a commentary on Industrial Society and Its Future, specifically the section Oversocialization. You may recognize the title as the manifesto by the Unabomber, Theodore Kaczynski. As a high school student during the 1990s I was interested in this mysterious figure and wanted to read the manifesto but never had the opportunity. Over the past year due to Covid-19 and several podcasts mentioning the Unabomber and his manifesto. During my internet snooping I learned that Kaczynski had written other books besides the manifesto and that he was still alive, writing letters in prison, and would never be released. Throw in a few facts like he was the subject of an LSD experiment in college as part of the MKUltra mind control program and you have an interesting individual to write about. So, who is this guy that had his brain fried, was a mathematical genius, taught at Berkley, bought a cabin in the woods, and started mailing bombs in order to save the world from its own destruction? Let’s find out.

“On the Contrary, the left takes an accepted moral principle, adopts it as its own, and then accuses mainstream society of violating the principle. Examples: racial equality, equality of the sexes, helping poor people, peace as opposed to war, nonviolence generally, freedom of expression, kindness to animals. More fundamentally, the duty of the individual to serve society and the duty of society to take care of the individual.” From Paragraph 28.

If I had to sum this up in an easier way, I would consider the leftist ideology to be a secular religion. In any religion the people who are the resent converts are the people most active in the church or organization, loud and vocal, accusatory, and they tend to be the most violent in an effort to gain favor in their new tribe. Keep in mind that this manifesto was published in 1995 but for some reason it applies even more today with the critical race theory crowd and the social justice warriors infesting our institutions. Somehow, Kaczynski, decades ahead of his time, saw what was coming and typed out on paper the dangers of this progressive movement. I can look at the world of today and say that he was ahead of his time, but now that I think about it maybe this had been the way things were all along. Edward Abbey wrote a book called the Monkey Wrench Gang about a group of ecoterrorists driving around the country creating havoc and causing mayhem where ever they went. There were the anti-war activists during the Vietnam war who were making bombs and trying to fight violence with violence. Charles Manson wasn’t exactly a conservative. When you look at the history of the 1990’s all of the violent acts committed by the Federal Government against US citizens took place under the Clinton administration. Ruby Ridge and Waco were botched raids that didn’t need to happen but they were for the good of… who ever. Still, none of this explains why this portion of the manifesto applies so appropriately to our world today, where a handful of SJWs push an agenda of Equity and Equality (even though none of them know the definitions of these terms) and how our society has been hijacked by recent converts to the woke religion for the sake of racial equality, equality of over 72 genders, and helping poor people stay poor. Nothing could explain this better than the next portion of the paragraph.

“Leftists, especially those of the oversocialized type, usually do not rebel against these principles but justify their hostility to society by claiming (with some degree of truth) that society is not living up to these principles.” From paragraph 28.

I have heard this time and time again. While working in a “woke” environment for a few years I quickly realized that the people who surrounded me for hours a day wore a mask of peace and love but that would disappear when their ideology was questioned. It didn’t take much, state some facts, your own experiences living in a neighborhood or experiencing your own poverty during your life and you suddenly became a problem. Like any new convert to a religion, they will violently oppose any opposition to their ideology and with the more facts or evidence you show the more violent they become. This violence doesn’t have to be in the form of throwing a punch either, it can simply be spreading rumors, talking to HR, or filing complaints about being offended, in order to remove the obstacle to their preferred Utopian world.

“If they engage in violence they claim to be fighting against racism or the like.” From paragraph 30.

The riots of 2020 show this better than any other time in our nation’s history. In Minneapolis, there were over $500 million in damages but the true estimate is roughly $2 billion because this figure is based on insurance payouts and not the actual costs to victims. Across the rest of the country Black Lives Matter, a leftist organization, is responsible for another $2 billion in damages from coast to coast. The organization is also responsible for the deaths of dozens of people, mostly black (African American) and demanded the defunding of police departments across the country that immediately caused a spike in crime including gun violence, murder, robbery, home invasions, looting, and rapes. All in the name of racial equality. The violence far exceeded the inequality they said they were “protesting” against but if you spoke against the riots you were to be burned at the stake, or in the modern form, cancelled. The left has figured out one very important thing, there is no point in killing someone for not agreeing with you when you can destroy their life, and keep them around as an example to what could happen to you if you speak up against the religion of the left (woke).

“Low self-esteem, depressive tendencies and defeatism are not restricted to the left. Though they are especially noticeable in the left, they are widespread in our society.” From paragraph 32.

This couldn’t be truer than the number of SJWs who proclaim they are racists while saying there is no cure for racism. In the book White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo, she admits to being racists while also guiding people through her program to no longer be racists. It’s like Satan leading the sinners to hell in order to work through their original sin of being white only to learn there is no cure because, from the beginning, there wasn’t a disease. Then you have Ibram X. Kendi who proclaims that the only wat to fight racism is to have more racism. To put it in plane English, become the thing you are fighting against. I guess he never read Nietzsche or heard the quote “And if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” Of course, quoting such things is racist and a move that a white supremacist would make because Nietzsche was from the West. Throwing out the knowledge of those that came before and thinking that we can make a change from something new that has never been tried before, and yet it has (several times over), is the ideology of an idiot who has lived little, possibly cares a lot, but has no idea what to do about… anything. If these people had the slightest bit of self-esteem, they wouldn’t be degrading themselves while trying to take power from those who are morally correct in their own ideals. If you have to use force and intimidating to prove you are correct, you’re not. If you have to degrade yourself and others in order to make the world a better place the people you accuse of being racist or homophobes aren’t evil, it’s you.

The Great Reset: Contact tracing, contact tracking and surveillance

“The most effective form of tracking or tracing is obviously the one powered by technology: it not only allows backtracking of all the contacts with whom the user of a mobile phone has been in touch. But also tracking the user’s real time movements, which in turn affords the possibility to better enforce a lockdown and to warn other mobile users in the proximity of the carrier that they have been exposed to someone infected.” Pages 160-161.

Let’s be honest here, for years now the NSA has been doing what is described up above. The recent shooter in Boulder Colorado was on the FBI watch list and was able to buy an AR-15 and shoot ten people six days later. I know that this suddenly changed from pandemic to gun control, but hear me out. Just like the failure of stopping a mass shooting on behalf of the FBI, the CDC will not be able to stop the spread of a pandemic by following every citizen digitally. This section talks about proximity but it does not discuss the usual method that a virus is spread, droplet. The CDC starts to look into patient zero and finds that they were on a train for thirty minutes returning home from work. There were a dozen other people on the car. But let’s say this person had a disease like Ebola which is spread through body fluids. Patient zero sneezes into his hand, puts his hand on a rail before leaving, and exits the train car. None of the other passengers touched that hand rail but yet according to this paragraph those are the ones who will be contacted and put into isolation even though they are not at risk. Meanwhile, several people board the train over the next hour, touching the handrail, following by their eyes, nose, mouth, biting their finger nails, etc. now you have infected people and nobody will know until they start to show symptoms. Digital surveillance is a nightmare waiting to happen and we already saw what can happen when the wrong people are using it like in China.

The Risk of Dystopia

“As the last few pages have exposed beyond a reasonable doubt, the pandemic could open an era of active health surveillance made possible by location-detecting smartphones, facial-recognition cameras and other technologies that identify sources of infection and track the spread of a disease in quasi real time.” Page 168.

To be fair this section of the book sounded like a general warning of what could happen if policies are put into place and expanded beyond what is considered safe for society. It is difficult to know if this was added as an insurance policy against what will likely happen so that the authors can say “we warned you” instead of “this is what we wanted.” This chapter maps out what could happen if surveillance is taken to new extremes. While the book focuses on the spread of diseases in the near future it is not difficult to see this same technology being used to control the population in regard to climate change, social justice, or pollution. Could we receive warnings via cell phone saying that our stop to the local grocery store was not justified because we didn’t buy enough to warrant the trip and the carbon emissions created? Maybe our cellphone hears us using a word that is no longer allowed even though it was said in the privacy of your own home and now you have to pay a tax or a fine for saying it. In China we are already seeing trash cans that monitor how much food is being thrown away and penalizing these people for wasting food.

The people who implement these policies don’t think they are creating a dystopia. Nobody in history ever thought they were making the world worse than it was before. Stalin thought that he had created paradise but in doing so it was against the law to criticize the new society that he had created. Mao thought that he was standing up for the little guy while invading Tibet, changing the social structure, outlawing any symbols of the “old way” and in the end millions of people died. None of these people thought they were doing more harm than good. In the future, will people look back at those implementing the Great Reset and wonder how we could have gotten things so wrong by following a policy that will, in the end, kill billions of people, for what is considered, the great good?

There are two movements that are happening at the moment. One pushes the ability to monitor the public through cell phones that the majority of people own. The other is looking at using less or no technology in order to save the planet. The mostly peaceful anti-technology protestor Theodore Kaczynski wrote a handful of books about technological slavery and an anti tech revolution. In the last year Greta Thunberg, the now 18-year-old environmental activist, has been writing Kaczynski trying to figure out a way to push an anti-tech agenda in order to save the planet. If people starting tossing their cell phones aside and start to live a life with less where does that leave the CDC with contact tracing and monitoring the public? I have to say that this is not such a bad idea, minus the mail bombs and killing innocent people. The FDA is in the process of requiring farmers to have GPS coordinance for all of their crops in order to sell their product, but where does that leave the Amish? There are still large populations of people who do not participate in the modern world and I am happy to see that they are there. It’s a control group in a scientific sense of the word. During Covid-19 the Amish have refused to wear mask because they believe that only sinners can catch the disease. We have not seen any numbers for the infection rate of the Amish during the pandemic. These people do not own cell phones or travel very far from their homes, but they still interact with the general public through trade. Furniture stores and grocery stores remained open and yet we did not hear about anyone in the Amish community contracting Covid-19. In a place as rural and remote as Amish community how does the CDC do their job in contact tracing and isolating the disease? Or do they not care?
