Thierry Baudet discusses his foray into politics motivated by the Western world's turn toward despotism. He feels we need to "become globalists" by organizing internationally and promoting liberty. He describes the elites and the global deep state, their desire for evermore centralization, and their collaboration with U.S. intelligence services. The endpoint of globalism is the social credit system. Loyalties of politicians are defined sociologically, they're not very intelligent. Vladimir Putin seems to be the only player opposing globalism. Thierry wants to do away with the entire gamut of globalism (e.g. UN, EU, WEF, Bilderberg). He does get "metaphysical" and comments on the dark or sinister spiritual nature of events. The resistance against globalism must develop more courage.

Thierry Baudet: We Must Develop More Courage to Counter Globalism #324

On the shore of the Lac du Der at night, a talkative Red fox meets a pack of responsive Common cranes.

On Saturday, 12 November 2022, South Australia, including the whole Adelaide region, experienced an uncharacteristic extended storm of unusual intensity. Several storm fronts, arriving from the NW over St Vincent's Gulf, hit Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula. The storm has been described as "one of the strongest thunderstorms in recent memory",* causing flash flooding, wind gusts exceeding 100 km/h that tore down huge gum trees (many of which crushed houses, cars, and electricity lines), as well as flattening giant electricity pylons, leaving around a hundred thousand people without power. 

This recording, made in the Adelaide Hills (near Norton Summit), captures a sample of the first and mildest storm wavefront that day. (The recording begins at 10:30 in the morning. This abridged version selects two excerpts from the longer recording, chosen because of the poignant presence of bird calls audible between the peals of thunder. The highlighted parts of the spectrogram in the track image indicate the passages from the longer recording that were selected for this abridged version.) The microphones sheltered from the fairly light rain underneath a 'sweet pittosporum' or 'native daphne' tree (Pittosporum undulatum), native to southeastern Australia, but a 'declared plant' in South Australia ('a woody weed invading native local vegetation', due to widespread ornamental planting).

Travelling farther south immediately after this recording, I was able to intercept the next two storm wavefronts, which were far more intense. Although the storm was utterly awesome and spectacular (lightning bolts plunging into fields, exploding thunder tearing the atmosphere apart), it was impossible to find any spot from which to record the storm, because it brought with it an abundant lashing downpour of rain and wild tree-tossing winds. All the shelters in the state forests had iron rooves: the rain battering the rooves was deafening, drowning out even the peals of thunder.

In the end, I could only just sit and experience it. Which, after all, is the very best thing to do, with Nature. (Most of the time, at least. Not recommended when it gets this violent. Although I have to say that this was truly a very beautiful and awe-inspiring experience; and, personally, I'm very glad to have been out there to witness it. I'm also contemplating possible recording solutions, in case this ever happens again... Enraptured by thunderstorms as a spatial music of nature. All that I have said, here, is the simple truth.)

Iain Davis discusses the Chinese social credit system and how in fact it is global and already operating in the West under a different guise. The key to the system is Digital Identity that links to biometric data (e.g. facial recognition, iris scan, DNA) which will be used to access or deny access to a variety of public and private services. The Chinese government has given a name to this system which is social credit. The intention behind it is population control and social engineering using reward and punishment. By and large the Chinese look favorably upon this system. We have the same thing in the West, except that we don't call it "social credit system". This tyranny is being patchworked together in the West via separate legislation (e.g. Online Safety Bill) that once in place will function exactly as the system in China. Western governments and their apparatchiks attempting to blame China are diverting attention and blame away from the tyranny they are building at home. The Western elite are fully onboard with the multipolar order.

Iain Davis: Yes the Chinese Social Credit System Exists & Yes It's Operating in the West! #387

Garry Robson discusses the deep history of cybernetics and how the goal of the internet was always to create a surveillance man-machine system. Humanity is close to being automated in a closed cybernetic system. The internet and smart phone are the twin pillars. The youth are the key to implementing technocracy. We already have a deeply entrenched enforcement system (e.g. ESG, social credit). However, what they're attempting to implement does look terribly precarious with too many moving parts. Garry remains optimistic.
