Good Morning fellow C&Cers and Searchers for What's Really Going On!

I own a small business I started 50 years ago. It's still small because it's an extremely niche business that sells equipment for specialty pharmaceutical research. But it's a nice little business and it easily weathered the 2008 fiscal mismanagement mess and the 2020 virus whatever it was/is. However, over the past six months sales are off 40%. This has never happened before. And, having spoken with other business owners that I associate with, business seems to be off about 30% all around, at least in my field. Just sayin'.

Noah Harari says that God is a fictional story....it is right out the the Screwtape letters.

Yuval Noah Harari ben-Shlomo. (His father is a rabbi named Solomon. The preface of "ben" can indicate lineage or CHARACTER.) Shlomo (Solomon), who received 666 talents of gold in a year. Whose throne had 6 lions, 6 steps, and 6 lions.

(Note that I believe that there is scriptural evidence that Solomon repented from his backsliding.) Know that God is faithful to those who turn from their sin (repent.)

The character of this puny reprobate (Yuval) is on full display in his hatred of mankind. Pure HATRED. He is a "professor" of "history." Thus, he knows how best to facilitate the destruction of your soul.

I have spoken to people in my "church" who think he's brilliant.

The anti-human force has a few thought leaders, Harari being one, Kendi, Robin D'Angelo, and this WEF creep at Oxford on emotional amoral egoism https://blog.apaonline.org/2019/04/04/a-neuro-philosophy-of-human-nature-emotional-amoral-egoism-and-the-five-motivators-of-humankind/. They want you to believe that you are a useless eater, a plague on the earth, that your divine nature is a lie, that nations are the source of all racism and settler colonialism and sexism and patriarchy and the destruction of nature, so the only answer is global transhumanism, in which you transcend your biological nature. They want to destroy the Judeo-Christian and nations and the West and replace it with some Saudi/Chinese social credit and surveillance. Everything they persecute and attack and dismiss is exactly what we should embrace. But watch out for all the distractions. I ran across this through Jay Bhattacharya (sp) on X, which explains all the focus on moon landings and whether there was a pandemic or if viruses exist and granular focus on corruption.

I suggest they are not, in fact, ‘trolls’ in the traditional sense. Many of these tactics were used by federal agencies as far back as the civil rights movement. They were refined and honed during the ‘war on terror’ against jihadists groups in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. They have now been turned against the American people. COIN.. ( counterintelligence operations) Technique #3 - 'TOPIC DILUTION' Topic dilution is not only effective in forum sliding it is also very useful in keeping the forum readers on unrelated and non-productive issues. This is a critical and useful technique to cause a 'RESOURCE BURN.' By implementing continual and non-related postings that distract and disrupt (trolling ) the forum readers they are more effectively stopped from anything of any real productivity. If the intensity of gradual dilution is intense enough, the readers will effectively stop researching and simply slip into a 'gossip mode.' In this state they can be more easily misdirected away from facts towards uninformed conjecture and opinion. The less informed they are the more effective and easy it becomes to control the entire group in the direction that you would desire the group to go in. It must be stressed that a proper assessment of the psychological capabilities and levels of education is first determined of the group to determine at what level to 'drive in the wedge.' By being too far off topic too quickly it may trigger censorship by a forum moderator.

Perhaps your downturn can be traced to the withdrawal of Chinese money for pharmaceutical research?

That is possible. It's also very possible, as Pfizer's sales and stock price show, that people everywhere are becoming disenchanted with Big Pharma's quick and easy but ineffective solutions.

I am hopeful that the huge backlash against the medico-pharm industrial complex could lead to a return to more holistic-homeopathic plant/herbal/other treatments & remedies that our ancestors knew but the captured medical schools weeded out at the turn of the 20th century or so.

I would think that as the distrust widens & explodes, there could be a very viable market that would hopefully not be abused & become corrupt. There have always been “snake oil salesmen” for phony products, but there is real herbology & other naturopathic knowledge….

Degrowth. Deliberate scaling back, downsizing; planned scarcity.
