President Joe Biden recently issued a proclamation extending full and unconditional pardons to individuals previously convicted in the United States for the use or possession of cannabis. Simultaneously, he exercised executive authority to commute the sentences of 11 individuals serving excessively long terms for nonviolent drug offenses. These offenses included possession with the intent to distribute small quantities of methamphetamine (meth) and cocaine.
In a released statement, President Biden emphasized the imperative of ensuring equal justice under the law. He underscored the consensus among elected officials from both political spectrums, faith leaders, civil rights advocates and law enforcement figures. The common ground was the belief that the criminal justice system should genuinely reflect the fundamental value of enhancing community safety and resilience.
Regarding the commuted sentences, Biden highlighted the disproportionately lengthy penalties handed down for nonviolent drug offenses. He pointed out that if these individuals were charged with the same offenses today, they would be eligible for significantly reduced sentences.
Concerning the pardoning of convictions related to the simple possession and use of cannabis, Biden expressed his conviction that too many lives had been adversely affected by what he termed the nation’s flawed marijuana policies. He deplored the adverse impact of criminal records for cannabis use and possession on education, housing and employment opportunities, characterizing it as a time to rectify these injustices. Additionally, he urged state governors to follow suit in addressing state-level offenses related to cannabis.
The pardons specified in the proclamation exclusively pertain to convictions for the simple possession and use of cannabis. They do not extend to other offenses involving different controlled substances or activities beyond the basic possession of cannabis, such as possession with the intent to distribute or driving offenses under the influence of marijuana.
There has been ongoing discussion about easing federal cannabis restrictions. In August, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) recommended the easing of cannabis restrictions by reclassifying it as a Schedule III drug, a departure from its current Schedule I classification by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Despite changing attitudes toward cannabis with most states allowing its use either recreationally or for medical purposes, the DEA continues to categorize it alongside substances such as LSD and heroin as a Schedule I drug.
Biden’s recent actions align with his broader approach to clemency, having previously granted clemency to 31 individuals convicted of drug-related offenses in April. Notably, during his 2020 campaign, Biden advocated for the automatic expungement of cannabis use convictions, reflecting a consistent commitment to reforming marijuana-related policies.
Advocates may be getting impatient with the rate at which these reforms are being made, and they wonder how long it will take for the federal government to make the changes necessary to bring the country at par with jurisdictions in Canada where entities such as Canopy Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: CGC) (TSX: WEED) operate.

German researcher Harald Kautz-Vella is one of those rare beings who can weave together both the spiritual-metaphysical and the scientific. He started to look at the topics of AI, chemtrails, Morgellons, Smart Dust, and nano-technologies while looking at environmental protection analysis and, “came across a number of substances that shouldn’t have been in nature because they are 100% artificial, and they are high-tech, and there is no other reason to have them in the environment apart from intent — and not the best one, let’s put it this way.”
Referring to this list of semi-secretive technologies and to the substances he found in the environment, he says, “… if you root these substances back to what they are designed for, you come to Transhumanistic technologies, which is the attempt to get an interface between artificial intelligence and biological. If you ask the Transhumanists themselves, they would always say they would like to give humans better access to AI — and if you look into the technologies, it’s always to the opposite way round, it’s always giving the AI access to the human, in the sense of getting the human system controlled from the outside.”
Off-Planet AI
The unknowns involved in artificial intelligence loom over humanity. Harald Kautz-Vella says, “Most of the people in the world are wrong when they think that AI is something that we [meaning humans on earth] have developed. True to some extent. But there is a second type of AI that is much older and not of terrestrial origin that we are facing. Hard to prove, but it’s looks like the AI we are working on is seeded by these original extraterrestrial AI.”
This astonishing and mind-blowing recent body of knowledge from Harald Kautz-Vella encompasses the chemical composition of chemtrails, demonic foundations, Morgellons disease, and sentient oil, otherwise known as ‘black goo.’ These are topics that are indeed frightening, however, he also has an experiential understanding of higher metaphysics, the cycles of time, and an obvious connection with Creation.
Biophotons & Negentropy
His scientific information is found in the second half of The Imagination Chronicles: One, Dangerous Imagination, Silent Assimilation , the book written by Cara St. Louis and Harald Kautz-Vella. For example, he looks into the concepts of biophotonic emissions (light signals that contain information of value to biological systems) and biophotonic-activity, to non-linear optics and quantum physics. He discusses negentrophy, which is…
…the ability to spontaneously build up order and concentrate energy. Negentropy is naturally occurring in biology and in fluid dynamics — generally spoken of in non-linear systems that show some kind of self-reference and thus are able to self-organize and build up fractal order.”
Morgellons Disease
Morgellonss Disease is a startling condition where seemingly living fibrous organisms emerge from lesions in the patient’s skin, and it is believed that it is being delivered to the population via chemtrails, literally raining down on on us from our skies. If you don’t believe that the chemtrails phenomena is a real part of geoengineering, then read the daily reports and the comments at GeoengineeringWatch.org. Morgellons Disease has been confirmed in over 300,000 people, and one researcher says that everyone she has tested has it in their blood now — even those who are not showing the most gruesome symptoms.
Morgellons Fibers
Research on Morgellons has been conducted by scientist Clif Carnicom — who says, “The Morgellons condition may have a much broader basis and distribution than we might like to admit or know.” Elana Freeland explains his statement, noting, “In other words, in Morgellons victims the filaments are in extremis, but the truth is that all populations subject to the chemtrails delivery system will probably experience at least a slow degradation of health as the immune system is undermined… the ‘organism’ may be in everyone’s blood.”
Carnicom found that, “the blood of his samples is undergoing a transformation: the cellular structure is changing to a more fibrous form, and spherical structures like those inside the fibers are appearing in disturbed blood cells.” Elana Freeland, again noting that, “all evidence has pointed to four major forms and one minor form of the genetically altered Morgellons pathogen being delivered by aerosols, genetically modified foods, water systems…vaccinations and other inoculations. Clifford E. Carnicom admits that humanity is facing an imminent health holocaust.”
Smart Dust: Self-Assembling Within the Human Body
Harald Kautz-Vella describes Morgellon’s as fungi that are “able to assimilate higher DNA, multiply it and build up a DNA cluster that creates a morphogenic field…The fungus is using a multilayeredhexagonal structure to protect and cover the spore. These hexagons…are part of synthetic biology research, called self-assembling large area photonic plasmonic crystals. …within the human body are hollow fibers that accumulate nanodyes within the fiber and those hexagonal self-assembling large area photonic-plasmonic crystals…both are self-assembling nano-bots. They [the intelligence community] spray them in components, separated into bioform and nano-dye, call this mixture smart-dust, and expect the smart dust to bio-accumulate and self-assemble itself into working units in the body.”
I know this is not easy to grasp at first. I have to read it over and over. To continue, “the fibers and crystals form a read/write unit. The fibers collect DNA light communication, i.e. the bi-directional single photon emissions interchanged by any DNA cluster, and turn it into radio signals.” I feel that Harald Kautz-Vella is describing the nightmare scenario of AI science implementing a ‘mechanical’ black-magic technology, meaning melding the darkside occult that exists in the astral planes into a technology that utilizes, assimilates and lives within our human body: AI as a high-tech parasite and the ultimate solidification of black magic into matter.

AI-Morgellon’s vampires
Harald Kautz-Vella says that by extracting light from our DNA, Morgellon’s lowers the scalar potential of the DNA. In my words, this off-planet AI is intended to rob us of our God-given ability to access higher consciousness in the realms that are now invisible to the five senses, and to prevent our return home and enlightenment.
“They are flattening us down, lowering ‘our vibration’, extracting energy. Sucking out what one could call the life force. …This could be one aspect of the aluminum-connection to Alzheimer and dementia. …This is far beyond any known concept of mind control.”
But as he also says, this form of energy extraction is very much in line with the ancient traditions of the Archons, black magic, and mind parasites. Is this what Ray Kurzweil had in mind when he predicted that by 2099:
The human brain has been completely reverse engineered and all aspects of its functioning are understood. Natural human thinking possesses no advantages over computer minds. Machines have attained equal legal status with humans. Most conscious beings lack a permanent physical form. The vast majority of the Earth’s sentient beings are AI’s that exist entirely as thinking computer programs capable of instantly moving from one computer to another across the Internet (or whatever equivalent exists in 2099). These computer-based beings are capable of manifesting themselves at will in the physical world by creating or taking over robotic bodies, with individual AI’s also being capable of controlling multiple bodies at once. [Kurzweil has a Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Leo.]
This is Alien ET Technology
There are many Harald Kautz-Vella online videos to learn from. In one he says, “I am hardcore scientist, but I really appreciate the possibilities that lie in the spiritual world and I had so many open questions to this [now deceased] whistle blower” [on ‘optimized cluster topology’ that lets RNA DNA sequences carry life-forms/ elates to smart dust] that he attended a lady who can talk to people who are dead. The man appeared immediately and talked through her saying, “This is alien technology – it is not human technology and we have been fooled. There is no deactivation code. It doesn’t exist. It is just a big scam that they offered to us to let us think we could control the system, but this is alien technology and it is not controllable anymore through us.”
Harald Kautz-Vella wants the intelligence community to know they have been fooled. They believe they are controlling this, but they are not. Apparently the deceased man speaking was suffering because of the misuse of this technology and is very concerned, admitting that the ETs had lied to them.This is exactly what I have felt and known for around 30 years now. The technology that the ETs gave our governments is a Trojan Horse designed to invade, infest, poison, and conquer our planet.
If the story from Harald Kautz-Vella was only one of fear, I would not write about it — but along with the science, he also understands that we are now entering the final stages of this cycle of time, the Kali Yuga. He notes that as beings involve in a spiritual war we each have the responsibility of rescuing ourselves:
“The information is out there, but it’s just fucking information doesn’t change a thing. What does change things is in Spirit. The only thing left for me [Harald] to do is take on the quality of change that is possible for me. Our egos are part of the Matrix system. Our egos are the thing that is keeping up the separation. It is keeping us from feeling the pain we cause. The core problem now is to dissemble our [small-identity] selves. Every single person on the planet will have to do this alone, it is nothing to be lectured about. It is something that needs to be done! Every single person needs to do this out of his own Will, out of his own power, from the Being side, not from the ego side. The first step is to get ourselves back into empathy and seeing what we have caused. Become what we were before… You have to rescue yourself!”
Binary & Trinary Systems in the Matrix
AI is a binary system. It can self-replicate, but it cannot create. We humans are a TRINARY system. In Sanskrit this is often termed the Triadic Heart. What it means is that we have the ability to reach into our Heart Chakra, connect with our Source, and bring God-Consciousness into manifestation. We trinary humans with our seven chakra system, can create.
AI is binary — binary cannot create, but only replicate whatever its creators initially programmed them with, no matter how complex and reconfigured. Binary cannot access God-Consciousness. Binary is an inevitable a dead end that will go on and on, self-replicating ad nauseam into infinite boredom! Matter without spirit is dull dead, un-inspired.
Those who live in binary, who are identified only with their thoughts regardless of how brilliant they may appear to be, living in perhaps a micro-waved mutant-mind, who believe they are solely their thoughts and not their soul consciousness — their forms will not survive into the next cycle of time. Incomplete forms from the Kali Yuga cannot withstand the higher frequencies of God-Consciousness. Those of us who merge our consciousness into the Heart will return to our natural state as we shake off these demons and their destructive suicidal games, which are here only to bring an end to this cycle of time.

The world needs bad men. We keep the other bad men from the door.
— Rust Cohle
The men of yesterday are never coming back.
The transhuman agenda is not just one of species alteration at the DNA level, and iatrogenocide carnage at the reproductive level, it comprises a distinctive component of demolition through gender confusion and sex-specific trait destruction.
On the male side of the spectrum, this involves inducing effeminate and unnatural characteristics in men, to create passive, and submissive creatures who will consciously deny millennia of hard-wired psychology and biology so that the forces of global eugenics and depopulation can render their most adequate resistance impotent.
Socially and culturally this destruction has been engineered through movements like feminism and progressive education, with orthodoxies fabricated in faux academic departments to propagate terms like “toxic masculinity,” so that parents encourage their young men to actively question their innate dispositions and participate in denying their biology as something righteous and noble.
Strong, resilient, fearless men who can recognize that a war has been declared on their families, their countries, and their beliefs—denying their children a better life (not necessarily a peaceful and stable one as everything worthwhile must be constantly fought for) and the opportunity to evolve into their biological imperatives—would not so easily back down against the forces they recognize as culpable. So these men have to be, not just neutered and neutralized, but constantly humiliated and demoralized.
The struggle to hold onto those men, to shepherd and usher all their advantageous qualities from previous epochs to resurrect them in the present is a dignified challenge whose resurrectionists should be applauded.
But this struggle is either won or lost inside the family, the classroom, and online, inside The Matrix, with boys of all ages wearing a target on their backs.
The belligerents are patient. They play a long game. They have recognized that the road to manhood starts with boys, and their futures as worthy men can be robbed in advance of biological, psychological, and physiological actualization.
The forces of social and cultural deterioration have spent decades endocrinologically wrecking and psychologically targeting boys so that they never develop into those strong and useful men—the defenders of society in bygone eras.
The majority of mothers and fathers today are clueless about this war on their boys. They are lost causes in shielding their sons from the forces aligned against them, prohibiting their natural transformation into young men with measurable levels of testosterone that will increase their libido and desires to procreate in the future, blessing their parents with those coveted grandchildren.
The biological transformation of their slinky wirey frames into stout and bulk machines is no evolutionary guarantee. It may not happen, denying them the confidence that partially comes from possessing toughness and grit to defend themselves, and protect their future mate and offspring. The latter is a top three hardwired psycho-biological factor in male mate selection for females.
The other two factors for mate selection are the ability to provide for her and her offspring, and women being competitive creatures will seek out men whom other women find highly desirable. No matter what delusions programmed feminists embrace, no man who displays effeminate traits over masculine traits; is physically incapable of protecting a woman and her offspring, and who provides less than the woman, will ever be desirable to women.
The young boys of today don’t have a chance without fathers who comprehend just how many landmines have been planted along their son’s path toward becoming what his natural predisposition intended.
Today’s fathers shrug when they see young sons sedentary and catatonic in front of a screen wiling away hours each day watching other young sedentary effeminate young men pressing buttons on a keyboard while screaming hysterically at non-threatening pixelated zombies or ‘bad guys.’
Fathers shroud their culpability in convenient excuses. “It’s a generational thing,” they tell themselves as their sons deteriorate into estrogen-radiating pansies one marathon gaming session at a time.
Suppose the father is a Millennial who has already undertaken the journey from boy to man-boy in adulthood and was barely capable of conceiving life himself. In that case, he may encourage his son’s destructive behavior or even pull up a multi-colored bean bag and join him in his gaming sessions, also known as “conscious wasting” sessions.
Extensive gaming creates anxiety and stress increasing prolactin production, which interferes with testosterone production. Years spent with their eyes reflecting blue screens and obnoxious app alerts disrupting their valuable sleep cycles deprive them of the most important hours for hormonal rejuvenation.
Their mothers do not help by actively filling their kitchen pantries with processed foods, limiting nutrients essential for hormone production, such as zinc and vitamin D, which have adversely affected testosterone levels. The average twenty-five-year-old today has testosterone levels 40% lower than the average male of the same age in 1985, with the same body mass index.
The same is true for men of all ages.
By the time they are teens, if they are not considered overweight or obese on the one hand, or sickly, frail, and effeminate on the other, parents can consider their sons among the rarities who have survived the initial endocrinological onslaught; whose bones strengthen and develop; whose muscles expand to support their skeletal system, whose shoulders broaden, and height stretches to whatever figure their parent’s genes blessed them.
For the vast majority overdosing on processed chemically poisoned foods, carrying excess body fat will lead to increased aromatase activity, converting testosterone to estrogen.
If they are not by then confused about their gender with the help of their school teachers, administrators, and their most adored celebrities forced to embrace gender role reversals as humiliation rituals, they are at the very least sporting rainbow flags on their rucksacks, and social media profiles, and asking life-altering questions about finishing the job of biological destruction by their own choice.
This leads to thoughts of chemically or physically castrating their sexual organs, an act that indoctrinators have programmed into their fragile minds as something stunning and brave.
Buzzfeed’s “Try Guys” show off their low T results six years ago with no embarrassment or shame.
A normal range for their age = 425-595. Anything above 595 would be considered “high” but probably closer to the average a century ago.
If suicide from constant depression (also caused by Low T) has not yet taken them by their twenties, states like Canada will actively intervene to ensure they find all the success necessary to end their lives. Even if they are minors and want to off themselves, soon parents will have no say in saving and protecting the life they brought into this world from the demonic hands of the Malthusian bioterror state. If suicide has not yet reached their plans and they are chemically managing their constant anxiety and depression with pharmaceuticals the road away from manhood crosses a deterministic rubicon.
“Both of my children have attempted suicide.” Correction to image: She is not single. Her husband assisted her in defiling their children (the hyphenated surname is always a dead giveaway for who controls a marriage).
When college rolls around they are expected to attend and earn a worthless degree. Instead of learning a craft or trade that would require physical exertion to create tangible and useful things with their time and labor, they are destined to spend their most productive years being mind raped in auditoriums of lower indoctrination while accumulating debt at a rate of $300 per hour, which may result in a future job that earns them 5% of that amount hourly with shared barista tips.
The compounding stress of their socially engineered mental deterioration and sexual confusion will elevate cortisol levels, further decreasing testosterone production.
After completely assimilating to their new cults of immorality masquerading as tolerance, their slow parents will finally take notice of their son’s considerably unnatural changes. By this point, it is far too late, and the canyon between mother and father and son will become irreparable. The son will be certain that his parents are small-minded and bigoted, and cannot be counted on to celebrate his compounding mental illnesses and disorders in the manner he desires.
As these gender-indeterminate creatures (Androgynos) reach the period formerly known as adulthood they’ve sacrificed their important developmental years with exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in plastics and pesticides, the most serious factors implicated in their hormonal imbalances.
This will lead brigades of young men to pridefully question their sexuality out loud, with their now-developed effeminate vocal intonations (sounding similar to the upspeak Valley Girls of the 1980s) and embrace a devotion to today’s most useless and destructive endeavors—pursuing a liberal arts degree, marching with placards in idiotic protests about the climate hoax, twerking in medical face masks and leather assless chaps at virtue signaling pageants for alphabet peoples’ “rights” which were already won (for better or worse) by those who marched in the 1990s.
Not satisfied that “oppressed groups” are getting enough of their time and attention they will devout inordinate amounts of energy to the fervent cause of whichever victimized group adorns their dorm’s calendar that day, a group they will want to “identify with” out of envy for clout since any self-identifying victimhood is rewarded with constant streams of the most valued social capital among youth today—pity.
We are now at the final stage of what Nietzsche identified as the decay of the West, through “the exaltation of pity and self-sacrifice.”
From Will Durant’s The Story of Philosophy chapter on Nietzche:
Pity is a paralyzing mental luxury, a waste of feeling for the irremediably botched, the incompetent, the vicious, the defective, the culpably diseased, and the irrevocably criminal. There is a certain indelicacy and intrusiveness in pity. “Visiting the sick is an orgasm of superiority in the contemplation of our neighbor’s helplessness.”1
What happens when entire generations of young men have become so debilitated, so enfeebled by propaganda as to candidly embrace mental illness, share it proudly with strangers, and medicate themselves with mind-numbing psychotropics, while demanding pity for their status as members of the victimized groups that they openly choose to “identify” with?
If every former boy who evolves into this perverted version of a man demands to be identified as a victim to garner the pity of others to justify his self-pity, who will be left to offer pity if the world is drowning in the perpetual narcissistic exploits of the pitiful?
It is not just measurable levels of testosterone that make men worthy of the word masculine, ascribed to physical stature and physiological transformation, but a combination of sexual endocrinological function with virtues and attributes that have long since vanished from post-modern societies.
Among the Romans, even the ordinary Romans, they had a single word to describe worthy men of their time—Virtus, which consisted of valor, excellence, courage, character, and honor—all perceived as masculine strengths.
Roman emperor and stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius emphasized virtues grounded in reason, resilience, and ethical integrity, reflecting his contemplative and pragmatic approach to life. Foremost among these was the virtue of wisdom, which Aurelius saw as the discernment of the nature of the world and fluctuating human affairs.
Justice, another cardinal virtue he identified required a personal commitment to fairness and benevolence in all dealings. Courage, in Aurelius’s view, transcended physical bravery, encompassing moral fortitude and the resilience to face life’s adversities and uncertainties with equanimity.
Among his most valued, self-discipline was seen as crucial for maintaining personal integrity and focus, allowing one to resist transient desires and distractions, and align actions with rational principles.
Aurelius’ masterwork Meditations, a kind of personal diary with valuable guidance and wisdom for young men is given no placement in any public schooling curriculum today, which manifests only increasing rates of degeneracy and illiteracy at ever-increasing taxpayer expense.
Aurelius opens Book One with acknowledgments of gratitude and debt to his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Of his father’s lessons, he cites integrity and manliness. Of his grandfather—character and self-control. Of his great grandfather, he learned something more relevant today than ever before, proving some things never change: “To avoid the public schools, to hire good private teachers, and to accept the resulting costs of money well spent.”
Forget the state and its destructive enforcers of immorality. Forget international speculators working for the forces of global technocracy and its planned “woke” agenda being implemented at corporate board meetings and incentivized in HR departments. All collective resistance and revolution starts with individuals and the choices they make for their lives and the lives of their families.
What fathers today are placing Aurelius’ Meditations on their sons’ nightstands, and requiring they indulge the words of a single book of Meditations before they are permitted access to their pocket computers, gaming machines, or to chronically masturbate to defiling pornography on their laptops—pornography that borders on assault and rape, featuring fatherless young girls who race toward the exploitative arms of smut peddlers in Southern California, completely distorting that young man’s image of women and perception of realistic sexual relations?
Virtues are always changing, as social movements and cultures transform themselves or are transformed by wealthy interests whose speculations hinge on keeping the masses mentally enslaved, and physically infirmed. A culture incapable of resisting this onslaught has exceeded its apex and is rapidly descending. It has long since parted with well-established and respected sexual roles, and virtues attributed to one sex or the other that should be valued and embraced by each for the benefit of the other; roles passed on from generations, once socially adopted for cohesion, stability, and species continuity.
agathokakological
adj.; ag·a·tho·kak·o·log·i·cal
: composed of both good and evil
Nietchze identified the two contradictory German meanings for the same term—Gut, or good. When used by the aristocracy it meant strong, brave, powerful, warlike, and Godlike. When used by the masses it meant harmless, kind, familiar, and peaceful. It is the embrace of the latter that has rendered us weak and pitiful. Men of today no longer recognize that an act of goodness sometimes requires a touch of evil.
From antiquity to modernity, the shift to what Nietzsche called herd morality assumed prominence, as the “stupidity of parliamentary democracies” which fostered mediocrity through the embrace of “equality” indulged by the “mania of counting noses” has led more than a century and a half later to further decay with the open embrace and exaltation of mental illnesses, especially the vaunting of self-pity and pity to the highest social capital that youth aspire.
Will Durant’s assessment of Nietzsche’s diagnosis of our moral transformation from the aristocratic, to the “liberal” and democratic:
Subjection breeds humility, helplessness breeds altruism which is an appeal for help. Love of danger and power gave way to security and peace. Strength was replaced by cunning, sternness by pity, initiative by imitation, the pride of honor by the whip of conscience.
Honor is pagan, Roman, feudal, aristocratic.
Conscience is Christian, Jewish, Bourgois, democratic.
From antiquity to monarchy on through to Western civilization’s embrace of post-modern relativism we arrive at the point of total ethical collapse. Thanks to prominent cultural Marxists the nature of good and evil can be subjectively reduced through self-smug pontification and circumstantial equivocation.
Racial segregation comes full circle with races reversed. Pedophilies are simply, “Minor Attracted Persons.”
There is no greater equivocation in our time than one conjured out of selective historical cloth as Hitler and the Nazis were evil but the Bolsheviks, (whose upper ranks were composed of almost entirely Nazi “undesirables”) were revolutionaries. Never mind they slaughtered tens of millions (mostly Christians) and had many more concentration camps or gulags, for 62 years more than the Nazi party’s existence. It’s a curious thing who decides what or who was historically evil, and what or who gets a pass.
Today the ideology of Bolshevism is openly embraced and celebrated by academic chairs at the most prominent humanities or social science departments of universities across Western civilization.
These Ivory Tower Bolsheviks have birthed terms over generalization, context, and nuance, which ooze from the upspeak vocals of a world drowning in Beta Androgynos incapable of recognizing evil if it summoned them for a fourth booster as they watched others suffer from sudden coinciditis all around and just shrugged. Androgyno Shrugged.
And so at Harvard, it’s back to the tribal drawing board until the next “diversity plagiarist” emerges who does not insult the tribe that appoints Zher.
That the ‘fuck around and find out’ (FAFO) content plays so well on attention networks these days is a testament to the rarity of men who would upon being fucked with, in no uncertain terms ensure that those who dared, immediately find out. For the tribe, making sure others “find out” always requires monetary leverage, that finances be withheld or stolen. That leverage will never be wielded on behalf of any other tribe.
Nietzsche would likely have viewed FAFO as a vivid illustration of his “will to power” in action, a real-time display of the natural hierarchy where the bold, sometimes reckless collide with necessary force. He might have seen it as a dance of power, where individuals test their strength against the world, a scenario ripe with the potential for both tragedy and comedy.
Thirty years ago there would be almost no FAFO marketplace. Back then far fewer men would have dared to fucked around, knowing that the majority of other men around them would quickly make them find out.
The Tyler Durden assignment to pick a fight with a stranger is the ethnographic research equivalent of this FAFO trend, and as a social experiment conducted almost daily reveals more about the limitations and nonconfrontational dispositions of today’s victims than the brazen instigation of the perpetrators.
The perpetrators are simply exploiting a world of socially engineered victims, unprepared for the harsh realities they are naively convinced will never actualize. Throw in dispositions of learned helplessness via suppression of innate instincts through therapeutic indulgences, and when a conflict of any kind strikes they become emotional wrecks—an embarrassment to their sex, yet incapable of shame, self-assessment, and change.
All those hours of shooting up imaginary things in video games did not prepare them for a violent street mugging, carjacking, or armed robbery. They aren’t even prepared to deal with the words of their local bully. They are not mentally or physically equipped to ensure that anyone who violates them or someone they love ever finds out, and correspondingly will never become appealing mates for female selection.
For generations, the playground scrap was a young man’s rite of passage. The bloody nose and cut lips were the battle scars of growing into manhood. The adrenaline rush, the challenge, the standoff, and the disrespect that must be met with a physical confrontation between consenting young men have all been dispensed with in favor of emotional coddling by administrative intermediaries charged with robbing young men of those important lessons.
The soft, effeminate boy cannot rub shoulders effectively in a world where he has been taught by purple-haired gender studies goons, and globohomo-trained psychologists to resolve threats on his physical self with social-emotional solutions. The helicopter parents, aided by the useless meddling therapist have rendered their sons impotent creatures in dealing with the evils all around them. Counting to ten while taking deep breaths will rob him of valuable seconds required to evoke his evolutionary instincts toward protection, defense, or something completely absent from our world today—revenge.
There is evil in the world and there is good and evil in every man. Nietzsche, through Beyond Good and Evil, dismantles traditional moral boundaries, advocating for a pragmatic embrace of humanity’s darker urges when safeguarding society. His concept of the “will to power” underscores the importance of assertiveness, often seen as an aggressive trait, as an integral part of human nature, and, consequently, of societal defense.
To spend generations suppressing all those necessary “darker urges” in young men and boys, in service of “detoxification” means there are fewer and fewer “bad men” to keep the other vicious men from the door.
If we didn’t already live in a post-agathokakological world of gender-indeterminate creatures disguising good virtues in evil, and evil means as justifiable ends there would be men stepping up to eliminate threats as they arose, especially all the weak men who throughout history have been capable of the greatest evil.
There would be no climate summits. Any attempt to ban gas stoves would be met by violent riots of torch-wielding men who burn down the homes of the city or state administrators who dare to publicly broadcast such assinine utterances as potential future laws or policy.
A strong-willed General of a Western military with sufficient arms would have already seen it as his moral duty, that in late January of any year, Davos, Switzerland while fully occupied with the global parasite class would be permanently wiped off the planet in an infernal fireball to the raucous delight of eight billion humans.
The moral relativists have shaded the prominent issues of our time that should not delineate good or evil into post-modernist neo-Marxist delusions borne from institutions of menticide that demand “nuance, context, and to avoid, like, over-generalizations and stuff.”
To groom children into rejecting their natural born dispositions is evil.
To eliminate the groomers is good.
Men of yesterday would recognize the fifth general warfare that enables such evil, and confront corporate media executives and propagandists of the front lines who would be bloodily savaged in their Manhattan three-star Michelin restaurant booths so frequently that no amount of money would ever attract anyone to take those jobs.
Upon their pools of blood, the entire field of journalism would be reborn with ethical foundations overnight, challenging the state and oligarchic power as it should, instead of shielding its transgressions, protecting its criminal disposition, and endorsing its wholesale corruption and pedophilia.
As illiteracy increases, cognitive abilities give way to the wonders of technological outsourcing via artificial intelligence and propagandized versions of history digitally curated to subdue and divide the masses, the fifth generational warfare becomes more difficult to identify, and the male sex by design deteriorates into transhumanist obscurity.
To count all the ways post-modern society undervalues the men of yesterday, and openly seeks to keep them an endangered species would require several lifetimes.
Once the welfare state and corporate cubicle commanded the masculine role of provider for women, and they raced towards both believing them “empowering” solutions toward “independence” while rejecting cohabitation and sexual interdependence with a man, the final nail toward male obsolescence was struck.
However it is always men who permit the liberties of women, and so it was done by their own hands. Collapsing marriage rates and high divorce rates were inevitable once women began to outearn men in many fields.
We might as well stick with Nietzsche here to examine what was dispensed with in the late twentieth century across the West: “Marriage: thus I call the will of two to create that one which is more than they who created it. I call marriage reverence unto each other as unto those who will such a will.”
From that final nail, it was only a matter of time before men were portrayed in Hollywood productions as useless, tragic oafs who must defer to women in all areas for competence. Today they remake every male blockbuster of the past with a female protagonist (sacred minority) so that audiences must go beyond suspension of disbelief as she dispenses large strong men with her acrobatic martial arts prowess and assassin cunning. Every production once aptly fitted into the action and adventure genre is now a comedic farce.
Nietzsche’s Last Man is described as one who has lost the ambition and depth that characterize true human vitality; and is content with comfort and simple pleasures, devoid of any profound understanding or desire for something greater. “No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse,” he writes, lamenting the loss of individualism and aspiration toward greatness.
In a world where the literal “Last Man” has measurable levels of testosterone fueling an insatiable libido, yet is surrounded by genderless Androgynos, it might be assumed that he would have his pick from whatever stock remained of high-value women, and probably so. But if the Androgynos are the majority, composing Nietzsche’s one herd, and the one herd is also the madhouse (all of society) then the Last Man, being capable and mentally fit would instinctually grab his lady and flee the madness.
Those fifteen-minute cities mandated by Agenda 2030 will only be possible with weak, feeble men. Of all the remaining men of yesterday, however few remain will have instinctually fled toward isolation in nature, partnered with a high-value woman with a traditional disposition not mentally defiled by feminism, and so we might as well call those fifteen-minute cities of the future—Androgynopolises.
The men of yesterday are never coming back on their own. An active and conscious effort must be made to reengage their innate qualities through self-awareness, education, mindful pursuit, endocrinological protection, and virtuous discovery.
The men of yesterday must be summoned, their qualities commanded by sternness in nurture and not pity. Parents must burn their “parenting” books, fire their therapists, and reject the herd behavior of other parents toward coddling and protection so that their sons can grow into men. Qualities like vigor and strength will be rediscovered and man’s natural desire to fight at the first sign of threats to him, his family, or his tribe can be reborn with future generations.
To resurrect this man, to bring him to life, to even render a spark of him visible in upcoming generations is a battle against the devious forces of species manipulation, and the overt destruction of the male sex, through moral corruption, psychological beatings, cultural debasement, and physiological degeneration.
“What is good?” asked Nietzsche. “To be brave is good. All that increases the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself, in man. What is bad? All that comes from weakness.”
That oft-cited cycle of weak men creating hard times, having been created themselves by good times made possible by strong men before them is no longer apropos to the transhuman epoch we’re witnessing.
No matter how hard times are ahead, and that’s the prognosis for what awaits on this timeline’s horizon, those hard times will not create strong men again as they did throughout previous cycles of history. Not as birth rates crater, and the planned physiological destruction of our species renders both sexes unfertile gender-indeterminate creatures.
Fathers and men must actively reject the forces that seek to transition their sons and them to Andrognyos, they must not just resist weakness and cowardice, they must proudly extinguish it in those around them. By making themselves strong, and exhibiting that long-lost virtue of bravery will lead by force of will or inspiration the weak to vacate those prisons of debasement they’ve self-committed.
As Nietzsche also wrote: “To demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength…a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength.”
Why, with such a horizon in sight should we wait for hard times when they are no longer capable of the requisite transformation of men from weak to strong?
We have no further time or generations to waste.
In Part 2 we’ll explore the different types of weak men that emerged during the chaos of the present silent war to help make all the madness possible—a hoax pandemic, censorship, herd behavior, coercion, iatrogenocide as “medicine” and a mandated bioweapon.
I think about the old days What we’ve been through to survive Do we get better with time? Tell me I’m wrong
I’m looking to you always We follow the same guiding light Passing like ships in the night Can we hang on? Can we be strong?
“. . .you must look at who you are and make an effort to know yourself, which is the most difficult knowledge one can imagine. When you know yourself, you will not puff yourself up like the frog who wanted to be the equal of the ox. . .”
Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes
From an early age most of us are taught the value of honesty and we are swift to cast scorn on the liars who walk among us. Yet, in a striking paradox, many who claim to be honest in their interactions with others fall prey to the most insidious form of dishonesty: that of lying to one’s self. In this video we explore the phenomenon of self-deception and examine how it paves the way for broken relationships and a ruined life.
“Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Culture and Value
Deception is a two-faced phenomenon. On the one hand there is explicit lying, where we tell a lie to another person, but know that we are lying. On the other hand, there is self-deception, where we tell a lie, either to ourselves or to another, but we believe the lie we tell. It is easy to understand why people tell explicit lies – for even if immoral, an explicit lie can help us to evade responsibility, avoid difficult confrontations, or gain the favor of another. But why do we lie to ourselves?
We lie to ourselves because it is one of the most effective defensive mechanisms against painful thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Whether mental pain is triggered by a sense of personal inadequacy, feelings of inferiority, self-loathing, guilt, or shame, self-deception helps us escape these feelings. Self-deception also reduces the mental discomfort that accompanies cognitive dissonance, or as Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson write in Mistakes Were Made (but Not By Me):
“The engine that drives [self-deception], the energy that produces the need to justify our actions and decisions—especially the wrong ones—is the unpleasant feeling . . . called “cognitive dissonance.” Cognitive dissonance is a state of tension that occurs when a person holds two cognitions (ideas, attitudes, beliefs, or opinions) that are psychologically inconsistent with each other, such as “Smoking is a dumb thing to do because it could kill me” and “I smoke two packs a day.” Dissonance produces mental discomfort that ranges from minor pangs to deep anguish; people don’t rest easy until they find a way to reduce it.”
Cognitive dissonance is pervasive in the human experience. For example, it arises if we have harmed another, but believe ourselves to be good. It will be triggered if we are stuck in a dead-end job, yet believe we are smart and capable. Or it may emerge if we think we are a person of value, but are in a relationship with an abusive or disloyal partner. To reduce the cognitive dissonance triggered by situations like these, we can take healthy actions that address the root cause of our mental anguish. We can apologize for a wrong done to another, we can cultivate skills that make a new career possible, or we can end a toxic relationship. But taking these constructive steps often requires courage, discipline, and hard work and so the easy way out of resolving our dissonance with self-deception can prove tempting. We can tell ourselves that the other person deserved the wrong we did to them, that our dead-end job provides us with security, or that our relationship isn’t toxic as we deserve our partner’s anger. These self-deceptions allow us to escape the anguish of cognitive dissonance without making any real changes to our life.
Everyone takes the easy way out at times, but if self-deception becomes chronic and the primary way we deal with mental pain, we begin down a path that can easily ruin our life. For each lie we tell ourselves to escape awareness of the existence of a problem, is a step taken away from the path of self-development. Each time we deceive ourselves to diminish the uncomfortable feelings of cognitive dissonance, our problems and difficulties go unresolved, and we set ourselves up for greater suffering down the line. Or as Travis and Aronson explain:
“. . .mindless [self-deception], like quicksand, can draw us deeper into disaster. It blocks our ability to even see our errors, let alone correct them. It distorts reality, keeping us from getting all the information we need and assessing issues clearly. It prolongs and widens rifts between lovers, friends, and nations. It keeps us from letting go of unhealthy habits.”
The more the quicksand of self-deception pulls us down, the more we limit our potential. But self-deception, is more than just self-limiting. It also impedes the cultivation, and maintenance, of healthy relationships and in extreme cases can motivate us to commit acts of cruelty toward innocent victims. To understand how self-deception harms interpersonal relationships, we need to recognize that one of the most common ways that we deceive ourselves is through the manipulation of our memories. We can be selective as to what we remember and denying that something has happened is one of the most effective means to reduce cognitive dissonance. For example, if we have wronged someone and feel guilty about it, instead of apologizing and making amends, we can deny that the event ever happened, or as Nietzsche put:
“I have done it, says my memory. I cannot have done it, says my pride and remains inexorable. Finally, the memory gives way.”
Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
Manipulating our memories to deceive ourselves goes further than mere denial of a memory, many people will go as far as to create false memories to diminish mental pain and to resolve cognitive dissonance. For example, if cognitive dissonance is triggered by the contradictory beliefs that (a) we are a smart and capable person and (b) our life is a mess, we have a few options to quell the mental anguish of our cognitive dissonance. We can take steps to straighten out our life, or we can blame our current situation on events of the past and even if our past wasn’t bad enough to excuse our current problems, we can deceive ourselves with false memories to convince ourselves it was. With false memories we can turn our past into a horror show of abuse, trauma, and cruel twists of fate, that makes our current life situation not a disappointment, but an accomplishment, given what we tell ourselves we went through. Or as Travis and Aronson explain in Mistakes Were Made (but Not By Me):
“Why would people claim to remember that they had suffered harrowing experiences if they hadn’t, especially when that belief causes rifts with families or friends? By distorting their memories, these people can get what they want by revising what they had, and what they want is to turn their present bleak or merely mundane lives into dazzling victories over adversity. Memories of abuse also help them resolve the dissonance between “I am a smart, capable person” and “My life sure is a mess right now” with an explanation that makes them feel better about themselves and removes responsibility. . .”
Another way self-deception harms relationships was identified by Fyodor Dostoevsky. In his book Demons, one of the characters, Fedka the Convict, observes how the protagonist, Pyotr Stepanovich, “invents a man and then lives with him”. What he meant by this was that instead of looking at someone in a clear and objective manner, and evaluating their character based on their behaviors and actions, sometimes we create, or invent, a fictitious characterization of another to justify how we treat them. In Dostoevsky’s book The Brothers Karamazov, he gives an example of this form of self-justification in action. When one of the characters is asked why he hates someone so much and he answers:
“I’ll tell you. He has done me no harm. But I played him a dirty trick, and ever since I have hated him.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
Creating a fictious characterization of another person to justify mistreating them, sets us down a dangerous path. In Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me), Tavris and Aronson provide an example of how this process can unfold:
“Take a boy who goes along with a group of his fellow seventh graders who are taunting and bullying a weaker kid who did them no harm. The boy likes being part of the gang but his heart really isn’t in the bullying. Later, he feels some dissonance about what he did. “How can a decent kid like me,” he wonders, “have done such a cruel thing to a nice, innocent little kid like him?” To reduce dissonance, he will try to convince himself that the victim is neither nice nor innocent: “He is such a nerd and a crybaby. Besides, he would have done the same to me if he had the chance.” Once the boy starts down the path of blaming the victim, he becomes more likely to beat up on the victim with even greater ferocity the next chance he gets.”
This dynamic of a nice kid becoming a bully by convincing himself that the victim deserved it, is the same dynamic that occurs at a collective level when normal people scapegoat an ethnic, religious, or political minority. The scapegoating process typically begins with minor transgressions being committed against the scapegoated group. Perhaps the group is banned from certain places or stripped of certain rights. An act of justification usually follows these initial transgressions, whereby the scapegoated group is demonized in the minds of the aggressors with words and accusations. For example, the scapegoats may be labelled as degenerate, disease ridden, or a threat to society, or they will be accused of fictitious crimes. This demonization process paves the way for even worse acts of aggression to follow and if this process, which the psychologist Ervin Staub called a “continuum of destruction”, is not halted, the end result can be horrifying, as evidenced in the totalitarian states of the 20th century.
“One psychological consequence of harm-doing is further devaluation of victims…people tend to assume that victims have earned their suffering by their actions or character.”
Ervin Staub, The Psychology of Good and Evil
Given that self-deception limits our potential, ruins relationships, and can turn us into a man or woman capable of inflicting serious harm on innocent victims, if we wish to live a fulfilling life and to contribute to the uplifting of others, not to tearing them down, we should limit the degree to which we lie to ourselves.
Sometimes, escape from the quicksand of self-deception occurs when we hit rock bottom, and our illusions are shattered against our will. But this is a dangerous means of escape as the attempt to rebuild a broken life is an arduous task. It is far better to voluntarily break our illusions through a ruthless attempt at self-honesty. For as Carl Jung noted:
“A visible enemy is always better than an invisible one. In this case I can see no advantage whatever in behaving like an ostrich. It is certainly no ideal for people…to live in a perpetual state of delusion about themselves, foisting everything they dislike onto their neighbours and plaguing them with their prejudices and projections.”
Carl Jung, The Practice of Psychotherapy
When we break the habit of self-deception, life unfolds with a newfound ease as we are no longer burdened by the convoluted web of falsehoods we once spun. Freed from the exhausting need to layer deceit upon deceit we can devote more energy toward accomplishing meaningful goals. When we stop lying to ourselves about how we treat others, we cease sabotaging our relationships, and we avoid the perilous path of scapegoating. Ultimately, abandoning self-deceit is an act of self-emancipation as greater honesty frees us to heed the age-old wisdom to know thyself.
“To this day I have deceived others and myself; I have suffered for it, and my suffering was cheap and vulgar. . .I’m glad that I see my faults clearly, that I am conscious of them. This will help me to reform and become a different man.”
Over the past decade, researchers have contributed to the scientific discourse on cannabis through the publication of more than 32,000 papers, with 4,000 emerging in 2023 alone, according to NORML’s analysis. The comprehensive exploration challenges critics who state that marijuana lacks the necessary scrutiny to justify legalization.
NORML’s data relies on keyword searches within the National Library of Medicine—PubMed.gov. This year marks the third consecutive occasion where the volume of marijuana-related papers surpassed 4,000, underscoring a sustained interest in understanding both the benefits and risks amid the ongoing legalization.
Paul Armentano, NORML deputy director, highlighted the exponential growth in scientists’ curiosity surrounding marijuana, emphasizing the enhanced comprehension of the plant as well as its active components, mechanisms of action and impact on users and society. Armentano urged policymakers to shift their perspective away from the unknown and engage in evidence-based discussions about cannabis and reform policies based on existing knowledge.
The assertion that marijuana remains inadequately studied frequently emerges in legislative debates at both the federal and state levels. Even President Joe Biden, despite his campaign promises of modest marijuana reform, maintains his opposition to federal legalization, arguing that further study is essential.
Contrary to such claims, the scientific literature on marijuana is vast. Advocates, however, express frustration at a perceived bias in federal research priorities, historically favoring investigations into potential harms rather than benefits.
While 32,000 scientific papers in a decade is impressive, it is reasonable to assume the total would be even greater if not for cannabis’ Schedule I classification. This classification, criticized as a significant research barrier, may see change following legislative efforts to streamline the research process.
Cannabis research in 2023 encompasses a wide array of topics, including government-funded and private studies exploring therapeutic applications, usage trends, drug substitution, minor cannabinoids and the policy implications of legalization. Examples include studies indicating that state-level legalization does not increase underage use and the potential unintended consequences of continued criminalization, such as the promotion of unregulated delta-8 THC products.
A recent scientific paper highlighted significant improvements in the quality of life and reductions in fatigue among patients with chronic health conditions during the first three months of medical marijuana use. These studies represent a fraction of the comprehensive examination of cannabis in 2023, covering political, scientific, cultural and economic aspects.
Simultaneously, the FDA detailed its evaluation of mor than 800 investigational new drug applications involving marijuana, underscoring the profound changes in product form factors, cultural attitudes and the legal landscape surrounding marijuana.
This extensive amount of research on marijuana probably doesn’t surprise industry insiders such as Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF) that often feel that detractors tout “limited research” as a convenient yet incorrect excuse for not ending prohibition.

After decades of prohibition hindered any meaningful research into their potential risks and benefits, psychedelics are now attracting considerable interest from the scientific community. Multiple studies have found that classic psychedelics such as LSD, MDMA and psilocybin (magic mushrooms) can alleviate the symptoms of several hard-to-treat mental disorders.
Combining psychedelic treatment with talk therapy makes the novel treatment much more effective and allows patients to gain long-term relief from minimal psychedelic doses with barely any side effects.
Although current research efforts are expanding the scientific community’s knowledge of psychedelics significantly, researchers first began studying hallucinogenic drugs several decades ago. In the 1950s, Oscar Janiger dosed nearly 1,000 people with LSD at his home and meticulously detailed each individual’s experience. He concluded that psychedelics didn’t make noncreative people more creative but could influence already creative people. According to Janiger, psychedelics can offer creative people insights into their respective crafts, making it easier for futuristic thinkers to get a glimpse of the future or make breakthroughs.
The discovery of psychedelics, particularly LSD, was the catalyst that kicked the field of neuroscience into overdrive. Swiss chemist and LSD creator Albert Hoffman was so interested in how LSD affected him that he spent decades trying to decode the psychedelic’s secrets. His lab also sent dozens of LSD samples around the world to try and figure out different therapeutic applications for the recently discovered compound.
Researchers carried out thousands of studies on psychedelics from the 1950s to the early 1960s in a bid to understand how psychedelics delivered their effects, pushing science into entirely novel directions. According to Janiger, psychedelics also provided creative thinkers with a new tool to help them flex their cognitive muscles. Indeed, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs famously said that LSD was among the most “important things” in his life and admitted to having taken LSD-laced sugar cubes dozens of times in the years before Apple’s founding.
While it is unlikely that psychedelics are responsible for the computer revolution, American psychologist and author Timothy Leary believes they contributed. Leary predicted that psychedelics such as psilocybin and LSD could help people transcend the physical world in the 1960s and predicted in the 1980s that a combination of smart drugs and psychedelics could allow people to transcend both space and time.
While not many bought into Leary’s cyberpunk theories, Leary also believed that psychedelics could help expand mental horizons for those who were already creative thinkers, allowing them to exercise their creativity further than they could before.
