The fake hospital bombing was a success. Everyone on one side of the binary mind control apparatus known as politics got their two minutes of hate.

Cue the next fake atrocity so everyone on the opposing side may get theirs.

These are distractions meant to keep us dancing while the world burns. The bad cat explained it well a couple of days ago:

"woke and global boiling and covid and the ukraine and every form of hyper-aggressive inclusivity insanity are not ideologies of belief for elites, they are circuses to dismay, daze, and distract you because pretty much no one can pay attention to what’s really going on when they are watching their daughter get slide tackled by a 200 pound guy in a sports bra on a high school soccer field or they find out their 3rd grader is being read sexually explicit books by drag queens who give twerking lessons." —https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/wag-the-deficit

It's difficult to form a coalition and mount an action to save the world when the ultra-distracting bread and circuses reach a fever pitch. Cue the fever pitch drama and the resulting unchallenged the new world disorder.

Another TriTorch out of the park hit.

It's watch the Hama/god-State Clown World Conflict. Don't look who really is choreographing the show. Don't try to find the loot changing hands. Don't question the god-government and their US lobby. Forget the border, mRNA in the food, suspicious fires ... forget anything destroying your homes and family. Just let the pre-programmed Atrocity Manipulation push your buttons. Folks! Be the Good Puppet on a string, just like with our Covid Show!

Okay! One wonders! One wonders who initiated this abortion unraveling of a new false not exactly what it appears to be thing? The usual suspects? For now, the only thing certain is that Iran and the Arab countries are not willing to be fooled again, or so it seems, at least so far ... because nobody is bitting down on the baited hook. And just maybe this is what disconcerts the Israeli government powers that be. Maybe they are backing back from The Program because the script is not working out like it is supposed to? And this unsettles them big time. I mean ... who in their right mind wants to be sucked into another US disaster?

Wow, great two comments here TriTorch. Do you ever watch Darkhorse podcast? At the end of their 197th (I think that’s the correct episode, where they mostly talk about the WHO treaty BS) Bret goes somewhat into his theory about the binary mind control, and suggests we don’t know enough yet about ‘mass formation’. Your initial comment here is encapsulating that concept perfectly. Well done! (I’m not attributing the full concept to Darkhorse, just stating a parallel)

Thank you for your comment RebeccaGrrrl. I've definitely heard of that podcast and good things about it, but I realized politics was mind control during the Brett Kavanaugh televised show trial which was clearly a stage production by the uniparty. During COVID the contrived political mind control became so unmistakably crystal clear that I wrote a short article about it here: https://tritorch.com/folly

Sir, your link led me this morning to not only that very brief read, but to the wealth of other writing on your website (tho’ I often visit your substack). I hope to eventually read and save all on the site & to share with others.

What else I read, following ‘Folly’ was your packed & loaded: “The COVID-19 Lockdown Shakedown Breakdown”(https://tritorch.com/shakedown/ , 3/22. It’s a primer about cv19, early 2020 — but not just). It was a needed reminder in succinct form (with items I had forgotten, not known or understood only dimly.) of the well-coordinated and executed cv19 machinations, some key players, past like but failed efforts, and how cv19 initially went down — only this time with far greater success: they more fully controlled more spheres, money and shills.

It’s like looking at a focused and magnified area in detail of a master‘s painting that lends fresh insight to the whole in front of us. The two pieces read back-to-back this morning added much toward comprehending the immense story, and to thinking about it — even though I’ve known these things well! Being led through them again in this form and structure, is a fresh reminder of things we must not ever forget.

The duping of the masses with Cv19 as a part of the whole, summed up in your brief “Terminal Delusion”, (https://tritorch.com/folly/) is a clear admonition. Also to never let it be forgotten. We have so much in plain normal living to distract and then the machinations exploiting our own natures in a barrage from all sides. Sometimes it’s an overwhelming effort to just elude the mind-catchers.

Rembrandt (my favorite) told stories and truth in his works, in both his paintings and sketches; each work in both in its whole and elements is rich in meaning. Strokes and lines are sure, quick and suggestive and yet deftly to the point. like the facts, quotes and insight you present.

Thank you, Tritorch. Glad you’re here. Glad I found your site. Information, truth, awareness, is a protection, though not the end. It’s good to remember that despair and fear of these powers is also a trap. I pray that you, and we, will arm our souls to battle that.

Stay well. God Bless you and yours, may your work reach many more with success.

From today's article: "Maybe this kind of thing has been going on for a long time, but ever since covid, media’s constant lying has become especially obvious and irritating."

One thing I've had to come to terms with is that we live in a sea of propaganda and lies. I don't know when it started, but it seems to have started a long time ago. For example, our media constantly lied about Lenin, Stalin, and the USSR, pushing articles saying the USSR had more rights, freedom, and due process than the US. While they were executing people by the truckload and dumping them in mass graves. Very brazen lies.

The more I've processed the last 8 years or so (since Trump entered the scene, really), the more I've realized: it's all propaganda.

Take a look at the "viewership" numbers for outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. Outside of 1 or 2 hour-long slots, they have less viewership than many Substacks and podcasts. No one watches them except people stuck at the airport. How do they afford all that on-air "talent" and associated overhead? Why would any advertiser spend ad dollars on that, unless there was a kickback of some kind. Who can provide that kickback? My guess, all taxpayer money being routed to advertisers through government-sponsored propaganda "private" companies.

What about culture/art? Also, all propaganda. Just one example (could easily talk about movies, TV, visual art as well), do we really think that rap - and its glamorization of black gang culture - just happened to organically arise just after racially-motivated socialist/communist forces had taken over all the meaning-making institutions of the West? Do we really think an upper middle class ballet dancer dressed up as a gang member was authentic and legit? All propaganda.

What about the "healthcare" industry, which actually seems to be making people sicker and recently put out a new food pyramid chart with Coco Puffs on it. While feeding people anti-depression meds that they know can't work because the proposed mechanism of action was proven by every study ever done on the topic to be non-existent. I could go on and on with healthcare alone. All propaganda.

Education? How about we spend more per student than just about anyone in the world and get some of the worst outcomes. Most of our urban centers are filled with kids who "graduate" high school not being able to read, write, OR do math. Can't do even one of those. They do feel aggrieved, however. For the wrong reasons, of course. They should be mad at their school and teachers, and probably the lunch ladies feeding them Coco Puffs, but instead are mad at the world for made-up grievances. They know nothing about how their world or their government works. And then enter the workforce and the ranks of voting citizens.

Unbelievably huge problem. And thank you to anyone who noticed all this decades ago and tried to sound the alarm bell.

Well on education I believe it started with no child left behind. Once that started grade inflation began. Its a sad state when people start lying to protect their job/career/domain. Meaning schools pressured teachers so schools weren’t downgraded and teachers felt the pressure when they couldn’t get kids to perform…. hence grade inflation. Lies lies lies. Kids that can’t do it passed. They should have been held back. I saw it in 2000 when I was in grad school and many in FL could not write a clear sentence or write a 3 paragraph paper with a solid argument.

Expand full comment

Florida used to “grade” their schools every year. If a school failed twice in a row I think the students were eligible to go someplace else ( I think, it was a while ago). Anyway, an elementary school in town failed the first year. The second year when the grade came out there was a huge celebration! Yaaaa! They got a D+. I knew a teacher at the school and she said that every year kids would disappear before the testing. The kids were here illegally , usually spoke no English and were mysteriously deported before the testing. Bill Bennett famously said that if an outside enemy did this to our education system we would consider it an act of war. And that was 20 years ago. Schools now are free babysitters so women can work and pay taxes to the machine.

They still get grades, but kids/families don't have to wait to jump ship - the Legislature passed a law this year that gives $7,000+ per child (equivalent, roughly, to what the government schools get per child) to families to use for any legit educational setting:

It's funny how the devil inverts everything.

'No Child Left Behind' was - literally - "Most Children Left Behind".

"Race to the Top' was 'Race to the Bottom'

The perverse incentives guaranteed these outcomes. Teachers were slipping into locked rooms where bubble tests were held to be sent to be graded, were carefully opening the sealed bunches with exacto knives, changing the answers to the correct ones, and then sealing them back up again just to make sure their schools got funding.

The powers that shouldn't be know our psychology inside and out.

It actually started with LBJ, with his communistic view of the “Great society’, then when Carter was President creating the Department of Education (“Hi, I’m from the gubmint and I’m he-yer to hep “.....in his peanut farmer voice.).

I did some brief reading about the education system in the US, starting back in the late 1800s... I goes back to the inception, I believe. Bring the farm kids in (hence summer vacation) and get them and the city kids to think the right way. Integrate the immigrants. They made it sound good. But upon reflection, I think that’s where it started.

I have yet to read an accurate portrayal of anything RFK has said. He's smart and articulate, and if he's running for president, he should be able to explain what he believes. Unfortunately, since he is subject to media blackout and smears, it is difficult for him to get his message out. I'd recommend attending one of his live rallies and asking your questions.

He doesn't have a "reparations stance." What he proposed - and what I sincerely disagree with - was a non-race based assistance (read: more welfare) plan to those at the bottom incomes. It didn't have anything to do with reparations for descendants of slaves.

But since he's the Intel-Deep State's sworn enemy, the mainstream media pushed it as "reparations" to dissuade conservatives like you and like me from noticing that the GOP has kept ZERO of its propaganda promises to conservatives.

It's not so much that the US experts are reliable, as that "US experts" - at least ones that get quoted in newspapers - seem to be frequently pro-Palestine, so if they're admitting it's friendly-fire that suggests the evidence is strong enough that it can't be in any way spun into "Israel did it".

Besides that, there is also video on the internet of a rocket being fired from Gaza and appearing to malfunction in the air right above the hospital and the fire/explosion occurs just a second or so later, so that's consistent too.

Maybe there's more details that would change my perspective, but for now the odds seem to favor the "Hamas rocket misfire" theory.

McGowan points out Jim Morrison's pedigree, that Steven Stills may have been Spec Ops in Vietnam in a prior life, that many of the other prominent members of Laurel Canyon society came from families with military and/or intelligence ties. McGowan also brings up how Miles and Stewart Copeland hail from a family with established intelligence ties and suggests that the tentacles of the so-called 'deep state' are firmly rooted in the entertainment industry.

Interesting take and worth reading. Thanks for the recommendation. I've read similar theories about Jim Jones and the People's Temple cult.

(Check out The Devil's Chessboard for a great take on the Dulles brothers and the 'deep state').

McGowan didn't quite go that far, as I recall. However, the whole Laurel Canyon scene as he depicted it was fraught with incestuous personal relationships between principal players like the aforementioned Morrison, David Crosby, Steven Stills, Dennis Wilson of Beach Boys fame, and the Manson Family with the intel community superimposed.

It's a discussion that can make one's head spin for sure! God knows everything, so He knows what He's going to do. So if He already knows what He's going to do, how does changing His mind fit in to that? I don't think our finite minds can grasp the concept.

Regarding God's plan, I know one theologian has given the analogy of God as a chess player: he can allow you to take your own moves, and respond depending on your moves, but because he is the ultimate Power and Intelligence, no matter what moves you make He will still ultimately bring about the end result that he desires. It may just be more or less pleasant for yourself in the process, depending on whether you work with Him or against Him.

(And others have pointed out that when we pray, we should in the end be praying for what God wants, not what we want: "Your will be done, on earth as in heaven", and "If it is possible, let this cup pass from me... but not my will but Yours be done".)

“Asking” must be for the betterment of ALL. In His hands, He knows how to deal so that all will come to Light. However, we are impatient at times and want instant gratification. In this way, we must be prepared to fall a few times until there is a resolution to the crazy around us. This is planet Earth after-all. Pray anyway. Pray for PEACE and LOVE for ALL. This is the ultimate goal.

—“We must set federal dollars aside to rebuild Black infrastructure.”

What exactly IS “black infrastructure”?? Do they have a separate infrastructure from everyone else’s somehow?? This just seems bizarre to me. It’s a hard no from me on reparations. There have been so many programs in the last few decades to help out and give extra preference to black people, that I think this idea is just a boondoggle. I don’t see any way that it could be acceptable to all Americans, especially since there are many other groups who experienced discrimination over the last two centuries.

Expand full comment

I for one am thrilled he came out in favor of Reparations.

Why?

Because it is an absolute deal-breaker for so many. If anything is going to steer conservative voters away from him, I think it would be that.

And yes, "black infrastructure" [and do not get me started on the capitalization of black, that is a whole 'nother ridiculousness]--so I guess that counts East Palestine infrastructure out? What about Lahaina infrastructure--too brown or yellow, there?

Reparations for blacks is one of the stupidest ideas that's been floated and re-floated in recent years, one that reveals the total absence of critical thinking, logic, and common sense of all of its supporters. Same here: HARD no.

I thought RFK was more concerned about environmental pollution and how that is affecting health, food security. My understanding from what I’ve heard him say is that he isn’t a climate change denier, but does dispute that CO2 is the source and that the zero carbon solution is going to effectively mitigate it. He may not be perfect, but on this issue I do think he is more common sense/scientific rather than ideologically driven. On the issue of reparations though, I cannot support that. That’s a money pit that will make some people rich, but do nothing or harm most.

I think you leap to a false equivalency.

"Too many people on the planet" does NOT necessarily equal "We should kill the excess humans."

It could also equal "We should all eat less." Or, "We should all live in 15 minute cities and not own cars and never fly anywhere." or, "Like Bulgaria, we should have four-hour blocks of time during which the electricity is shut off."

There are plenty of "acceptable" (to climate-change-true-beleivers) solutions to "too many people on the planet." You don't have to jump to "depop" and take the focus off "too many."

Which, are there?

There are definitely NOT too many people on the planet, as even a casual drive across the Midwest will definitively show.

Every person on Earth would easily fit within the borders of the state of Texas leaving the rest of the planet completely empty.

RunningLogic- I agree with a hard no on reparations. Anyone who still believes that blacks are “disadvantaged” must not have any access to media. Despite being less than one third of the population, they dominate sports and entertainment. It’s difficult to find a TV commercial with anything other than black faces. For the last 50 years, since the beginning of affirmative action, they’ve received advantages over whites in jobs and education. Changes needed to happen, but as usual, the solutions made by politicians were not the best by a long shot.

His Marxism is showing.

It's a divisive tactic. His former party undermined "capitalism" until it was unrecognizable. Now he wants us to believe that only the state can allocate resources "equitably."

When one is too busy trying to decide whether to stand in the line where there is no bread and the line where there is no meat, they will be far more likely to comply with whichever tyrant is sitting on the throne.

Expand full comment

The stock market/financial collapse is going to happen. It's only a matter of timing, of when 'they' want to pull the trigger. And pull it to advance their purposes ... which are multiple, and non-linear.

For example, they want a digital currency. So yes, pull the trigger for that. BUT ... they also may want to keep The Pivot away from Woke to remain trending. And so, the timing? It may be 'pull the trigger' sometime ahead of the election 2024, meaning at the end of this year or in the beginning of next year ... and then blame it all on the Wokes, on Biden the puppet incarnate. In fact, the entire purpose of the Biden Pedo Pete presidency may have been to make things so bad, so incompetent looking, so insane looking that the tons of Radical Dem voters bail, get so disgusted that they are willing to abandon Woke ideology in huge numbers just to save themselves. If so, then the whole exercise has been perhaps wildly successful. AND THEN BRING BACK THE SOLUTION. The solution is to keep The Pivot trending and install 'a conservative' presidency with saner public policy. The Pivot is an existential necessity for the real Money Power because they see the world now slipping out of their control grasp. Something 'radically' different has to happen or else the whole train wrecks.

Expand full comment

That's a really interesting prediction. I hadn't thought of that. I do see that many were alienated with the forced jabs (recall the original antivaxxers are lefties after all, so they were suddenly homeless and became a bit redpilled). The economy is trashed and inflation is out of control, which is knocking out the center/independents (anyone left with a brain, basically). And you have this hatred against Israel where you see some Jewish people waking up and wondering where their home is now.

But you're right, I think the solution they're going to sell when everything collapses and people are begging for help...will be an authoritarian regime that controls our every move. I think they want digital payment systems so they can control everything we do by shutting off our cash if we step out of line. And I believe universal basic income will rear it's ugly head...can't have anybody making real money and becoming prosperous, can we?

I'm reading a book now about this English scientist who was a Eugenicist in the 20's and how he partnered up with the rich over here to sell these awful ideas (Rockefeller & Carnegie) and to hear them talk is absolutely stomach turning. They really feel like the masses are essentially unthinking morons who must be kept from procreating (enter birth control & planned parenthood)...almost like they're describing dogs. At one point they're sitting around joking about how euthanasia is somewhat "unpalatable to some who don't understand things as well as we do". Just sick. And it made me realize, they have not changed one bit. They really think these things. My hope is that enough people wake up in time.

Expand full comment

'They' really do think these things. I know from this from my family's class background. Not the highest of the high, but high enough to occasionally bump into some of these 'elite' people. Years ago I even knew some Rockefeller girls, but really extended family and low on the Rockefeller totem pole and yet high enough that their divorced mom didn't have to work. And they were not exactly living in the slums, not by any means. Today these girls would be in mid-late forties for one and early fifty-ish for the older sister. Time flies!

But it is not just old money. There always are a lot of rising stars ... and blurred lines as to who is whom and to what degree. With some there is definitely a bit of 'there's the animals and then there's us' mentality. It is usually never out and out stated. But nonetheless, that delineation is there if even pushed to the background. And kind of fluid. But if you have seen this stuff, you know what it is when one see it. And imagine, if some of these people lost their money and status, their security, do you think that 'they' would still be whistling the same tune? Probably very few, nil to next to no one.

'They' do think of us and treat us as cattle or sheep ... or chickens with heads cut off and running about panic-like (as with mass covid hysteria). And they certainly don't mind stampeding the cattle so long as 'they' themselves aren't trampled under hoof. However, there are 'elections' and the voting wildlife has to be steered, controlled. And this is good and bad. The good is that elections are from their standpoint an excellent control mechanism. The downside is that all animals are not the same, and so the more intelligent 'life forms' also have to be managed. And this takes some work ... and eventually some of the more intelligent ones have to be bribed, incentivized with cushy jobs, grant money, high salaries ... even for non-essential Woke jobs. Think all the Woke climate stuff, green energy which could not exist without government incentives, subsidies.

Even so, I sense that The Game is slipping away from the grubby hands of the Apex Elite, and they know this. The Middle East debacles and Afghanistan were catastrophe. But the Ukraine with Sanctions and Swift System failure set the capital on the column of failures with Walk-Away and BRICS Plus ... and none of this was in The Plan. And so there is A Pivot walking back of some things, a change of course to restore balance, control and so on. But it may be to late to restore the glory days of the 20th Century and the heights of US power in the 1990's and up to 911. And regarding all this and whatever materializes from walking things back, we may get a tad of cultural,social and political relief ... but we may well be on the other hand savaged by a financial and/or stockmarket collapse. And we still have amide all of this the problems ensuing of 5th Generational Warfare being waged on this. Whatever it is, it won't be an easy ride.

The important thing to always remember is that nothing on the Great Stage is for our benefit. And if we want to rid ourselves of our chains and blinders, we have to know who we are and what we want for ourselves, for our families immediate and extended. And not let them continue to get away with defining things for us by all the means as are currently in their possession (education, media, political figures, cultural promotions, all manner of lies and obfuscation).

All kind of combinations are possible. Things evolve and then must be reassessed. Anything said, posited by me, is strictly tentative. It is a three ring circus.

If the Radical Commies win, then the forces of the 2024 coup d'etat will have won and they will consolidate ... and it will get very ugly for us. If the present Pivot in place keep trending because of a roll back candidate (someone like Trump) wins 2024, we will get relief. And from there it depends upon which policies are put in place and if those policies are design to reindustrialized and if the border becomes a real border.

I think there is a middle ground somewhere here. Individualized reparations are anathema to American principles. In fact policies going backwards in time also seem against the “ex post facto” principle. In my East Coast city, rather than improving housing for poor people, they are busing homeless to panhandle, and creating requirements on new buildings to house “low income” and ex convicts, in areas that used to be redlined 100 years ago. This kind of deliberate “payback” is not going to make anybody happy except the faculty lounge and local “community organizers”.

HOWEVER I think RFK and Trump both have said the nation’s infrastructure stinks and has been neglected by our elites for years. True. It’s shameful. What’s different are the arguments made for addressing it. RFK’s is pitching to Democrats at the moment, invoking past injustices, but not necessarily planning some kind of “proportionate” compensation. I am in wait and see mode on this.
