I know that you are speaking tongue in cheek but you do touch on a problem with this New Year season, that people will shun anyone not spouting hopium.
Thanks for disseminating truth and reality into the mix. Excellent and valuable post, Lily. I wonder when, if ever, these truths about the real nature of our world will become commonly accepted knowledge? Thanks for being part of the vanguard that strives to make it happen.
For potential threats we've been conditioned to look only to the left, right, in front of us and sometimes behind us when what we should really be doing is looking up.
I don’t disagree with ANYTHING you are saying Lily. I have been a “pushback on the system “ kinda guy for some years now. At the very least since the days of Covid. At least I once was this guy.
This is going to sound condescending and arrogant. I promise you that I am neither. The thought process that has taken root in me the last several months is that in order to survive and live a decent life humanity needs this system.
The regular schmoes have very little ability to self govern. They trip over themselves like cats following a laser pointer. You see herding cats is quite easy after all. They have no ability to focus on the task at hand which is why they always get distracted.
So many enemies they have to slay. In the end they rarely get to one. I have seen evidence of this on all sides of the political spectrum. I thought the conservative right to be more dissident. While they are more akin to “outdoor cats” they are just about as easy to herd.
I watched that movie Civil War the other night. It wasn’t horrible. Not much plot in there. It tracks a team of adrenaline junkie journalists (I liked btw) on their way to DC to shoot photos of the fall of our Nation. What they do NOT show is what is happening in the other towns and cities along the way. There is one town that it featured but it is an anomaly and the journos recognize it for that.
I wish the movie would have depicted some scenes from urban and rural life USA. It would be a festival of starvation and disease. It’s not something I prefer to live through. It’s sort of ironic because I would probably stand a better chance coming through it than most. But to what end, being a slave to the Mexican & Central American Cartels? How about China and Russia?
When I return to work I will sub to your stack Lily. ❤️
It doesn't get any clearer than that. Well done! The Federalists were no different. They were the very wealthy bankers who wanted to rule, combining their strength with the British bankers. They created the first political party one year after the first election of George Washington and ruled the US for many years. Political parties have controlled the government ever since. I also agree on the issues and illusion of majority voting. That's why in my collaborative democracy, I eliminated voting. I created a federal solutioning process leading citizens to solve Federal issues in a new way (instead of representatives controlled by political parties). That, along with councils instead of individuals that are selected randomly from qualified pools of applicants, were the only methods I could come up with to combat the problem of control by the political parties and their puppet Masters, the power elite. This new solutioning process is worth reading.
What you are saying Lily might be true, but is true leadership against this insidious money/political system even possible? If so, how will we recognize it? Or will our chronic cynicism prevent us?
So much to digest here. But this line is crucial for people to understand: "Under our current debt-money system, representative democracy is nothing more than an illusion, a path leading straight to nowhere." In such, people need to understand that only a system like that can perpetuate the null hypothesis of freedom, which in our current evolution is access to excess. That and more simplified, the debt would not be what it is.
I still don't believe that this is carefully orchestrated ballet of powerful individuals exists though. Though I think Powerful, Elite, Wealthy Class (PEWC)--pronounced puke--exists, I don't see the great interwoven evil cabal lurking in the shadows either. I don't humans are capable of it in any organized, perpetual manner.
People and power structures fail all the time. Humans have proven time and time again to be equally opportunistic as animals. I think the well funded have mutual interest in keeping debt-money system in play. That's why though as I was happy Harris lost, I was equally unhappy with Trump winning. Neither party of millionaires and billionaires has my interest in mind. But they both want to sell me Tesla's, though.
What seems more likely to me is after the election, behind closed doors, they all grab-assed each other, smoked, drank, congratulated each other listened to music and hung the certificate of the Presidency or Senate on the refrigerator like a student of the week award, and went back to business. There's no actual divide. It's all pageantry.
Whatever, I'm rambling. Nice dive though. I am now a paid sub because of this.
I wish you all well and joy and health in this New Year. Some of us must stay strong when our world become weaker - you are one of the strong. God bless you, Lily
Nothing will change until individuals become capable of governing the self. In other words, the macro is simply a reflection of the micro. There is no top-down solution, only bottom-up ones. It seems paradoxical, given the existence of an international cabal of secret societies trying to control our planet through Satanism (self-worship) but our answers are to be found almost exclusively in the mirror, if only one can be brutally honest with oneself, as self-deception & self-service/Satanism go hand in glove.
Of course that NOTHING WILL CHANGE this lovely year of 2025 expect the size of the WEALTH of the Secular Ruling Families and Their Friends the Billionaires.
One thing, the system was never broken… it’s operating exactly as intended. The bankers had a brief upset under President Jackson, but otherwise, this is how it’s largely always been. While the formalization of financialism (debt based economics) occurred in 1913, and then went full steam ahead in 1971, it was already happening. It’s also important to note that in this sense the American Revolution didn’t make much of a difference to the powerful, and the USA wasn’t truly independent when viewed from this angle until after the Second World War… when it became the center of the global financialist empire.
Good write up. Nothing changes because of the year or the president lol. It’s a continuum of power struggle, where elites get more power and the poors struggle.
Elites clawing and scraping and wringing the proverbial towel for every last drop, while we are still being sold some bs about trickle-down.
Aah, the future looks bright ... if we are allowed to have one. Thanks for that inspiring and mood lifting New Years article. 🫣
I know that you are speaking tongue in cheek but you do touch on a problem with this New Year season, that people will shun anyone not spouting hopium.
I find that I can genuinely wish people good health so they can deal with what's coming.
Have to give a miss on the other vain hopes.

Very well said

Thanks Lily. It is a sad but true situation.
I am an optimist and believe in mankind.
It is my hope that things will change albeit slowly.
Perhaps by 2030 things will not be as the oligarchs believed they would, could and should be.
Happy New Year ✨👍

I haven't heard the Bilderberg in a long time.
I'm not convinced that what's coordinating these activities behind the scenes is human
That's a proactive thought.

"Every nation-state is essentially a corporation, a cog in this vast superstructure of global control, as detailed in the referenced book." What book?

This piece nails the situation very well, that of 400 years ago and that of today.
The "pandemic" had indeed a purpose...
