I read this with great interest because I also have great respect for Charles as a person and a philosopher and have also wondered about his evading all those elephants stinking up the room. I writing as someone who has studied the political assassinations of the 60's, was in New York city on the morning of 9/11, and was burned out of my home in the Santa Cruz mountains after the chem trail sparked fires of 2020. I am also acutely aware that a great deal of this modern, media driven psychedelic renaissance is an operation of social engineers. I'm called a conspiracy theorist frequently, and deliberately by those threatened by what I say. We all know that this term 'conspiracy theorist," is a linguistic weapon aimed at those of us who question mainstream narratives. A very effective weapon. I'm with you Josh, time to push back and defuse it. I also think that is not everyone's job. I've been glad to get to know Charles when I still lived in the conquered states of america. He is not one of those many who wields that weapon. He side steps it. Thinking now of that Zen saying: "When you meet a master swordsman, show him your sword. When you meet a man who is not a poet, do not show him your poem." While I have also challenged our friend on his seeming allergy to conspiracy theories, I also appreciate his own style of bringing injustice to light and inspiring a better world...
"— not for profit, but for motives that are hard for people who are not sociopaths to fathom." Amen! It makes me feel self conscious just to suspect there are "people" like that as if it reflects poorly on me.
Reminds me of "Invaders From Mars" (1953) I was about 6 or 7 yrs old and that movie scared the shit out of me. Decades later I was visiting with a couple who had a ~6/7 yr old boy who's favorite computer game was something like "Kill all humans".
I think I understand the function of sociopaths in the gene-pool, Josh, the reason why 2-4% of humans in any gene pool lack compassion and seek to exert power, absolute power, over other humans.
They have become apex predators in the human ecosystem to balance the transition of most humans to grazing-animals, farmers.
Their specialty is to thin human herds when we overgraze available resources, which they feel themselves to "own", as they feel themselves to own us.
I believe them to be functional, and to provide a long-term advantage to the gene pool as a whole, whichever gene pool. This can be seen by imagining 2 farming towns, which come upon hard times, one town with a few sociopaths, and the other town with none.
The town with the sociopaths will coordinate an attack upon the other town to slaughter them and take their farms, livestock and water.
The gene pool with sociopaths will prevail.
I don't think we can kill our way out of this predicament, but need to accept, each of us, Divine Guidance, to navigate these tight spots in history more elegantly, and without anguish.
It looks like we have a historical opportunity to try, and it is a personal investigation, paradoxical as that sounds.
That may be true. But it is difficult to ignore the degree of collusion among domestic and international ruling elites over issues like chem trails and Covid. The scariest thing (for me) about chem trails is that “they” do not lie and claim to combat climate change and instead tell us “don’t look up”. Don’t believe your lyin’ eyes.
Something is wrong. It is too suspicious that Democrats embrace Dick Cheney and both sides of the uniparty pledge support to is-real. If we exclude malicious (space/time) aliens, I think the most likely explanation is that the elites realize technology is becoming ever more resource intensive while those resources are being depleted. They can buy more time by depleting most of us. So, in a round about way, I guess I agree with you.
But if we extrapolate the apex predator model to the “end”, the result is a global human population of . . . one.
Our owners have worked out means to cooperate long ago. They married each other and we killed each other, for instance.
Yes, they are students of us, with ancient, arcane knowledge passed down to the "worthy".
The everybody not seeing it, like with chemtrails, is the emperor's new clothes effect, isn't it?
Apex predator numbers seem to self-regulate in ecosystems. Occasionally human elites even kill other human elites.
I really see our work to be transcending this paradigm, making it obsolete.
It works with 3% sociopaths.
The Tibetans were working on a system run by a priesthood. The Chinese observe that it had flaws, human flaws, but that was in their interest to observe.
Thanks for this excellent compilation of the crimes waged against us. Crimes that, if we were collectively capable of seeing life as it actually is today, would be obvious to all of us by now. But very few of us seem to be willing to acknowledge these attacks. Why is that?
Like all cultures we have a story that we tell ourselves about who we are, how we are to live and what our common values are. But all human civilizations have a lifecycle and ours is clearly past it’s peak. And as we find ourselves on the downslope, with no exit plan, our normal human instinct is to cling ever more tightly to our shared hopes and dreams. The idealized life that we were promised (but hasn’t arrived yet).
So when catastrophes happen that, if they were deliberately caused by man, would be so monstrous as to be inconceivable then we have no choice but to pretend that they were unexplainable Freaks of Nature. And as the rate of occurrence of these Freaks of Nature increases we simply pray harder. (“I’m not listening!”) Because what’s the alternative? Accept that members of the US military deliberately burned down Lahaina while blocking the roads out of town? For a real estate land grab? Or that members of the US military deliberately steered a hurricane into mountain valleys of North Carolina and then hyper-saturated it so that it killed 100’s and made 1000’s homeless? Arthritic old women sleeping outside in Walmart tents in January? And that the federal & state governments ignored the victims - except for FEMA who showed up to condemn their properties for “zoning violations”?
For any normal “civilized’ human being to accept that these assaults were deliberate is to accept that they are ruled by and are at the mercy of monsters. Denial is the only ‘rational’ choice here.
Yes! Thank you for adding these details. I agree that the lies have been so audacious that most people can't imagine that they're being lied to, and that people have been committed to these lies for so long that I don't know how to shake them loose.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
There are other rational choices, of course, but different people have different personality and cognitive types and abilities. For most people, the most important form of "reality testing" is to determine what a few people around you think. Group solidarity is more important than facts, but it can shift sometimes, like after the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam.
I'm sure you're familiar with the shocking revelations of Dr. Steven Greer. He speculates that there is a shadow government which has reversed engineered technologies recovered from downed UAPs. This would make available to the renegade scientists the kinds of destructive beam technologies used in the suspicious fires . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcQajFCDf3Q
Thank you! I just listened to this new interview today. I don't trust Greer completely, but I think his message captures the basic truths. I think he's right that there is a breakaway civilization that has technologies they are hiding from us. I think he's right that there are ETs with benevolent intentions for humanity. I suspect he's not right when he says that all the abductions and cattle mutilations are performed by humans masquerading as ETs. Maybe, as Courtney Brown says, there are good ETs and bad ETs and we are caught in their crossfire.
Agree completely. Some of Greer's claims are questionable. Overall his message is positive, hopeful, and a welcome antidote to the false narratives being propagated by those who are trying to keep any of the truth from getting to the public.
My guess is that he doesn't want to alienate people and thinks his message is more important that the truth about "details" of how bad people operate. I can understand that.
Charles is all about undividing, the illusion of separation. Pointing fingers at the bad guys, is not his goal. He just keeps his thoughts to himself. Doesn't agree or disagree and sticks to his message. Pretty amazing, really.
We want to be right so badly, we get angry at those who don't reinforce our belief systems.
A friend dragged me to Eisenstein's 'presentation' at Bilgi University in Istanbul around 2011. Depressingly dull, I must say. Never been able to shake that impression.
Read his big book, The Ascent of Humanity. It is deep and insightful, and the seed of all he has done afterward. Another book, Sacred Economics offers a radical vision for how we might exchange goods and services without concentrating too much wealth in the hands of too few people.
This could also be titled, "Open Letter to all Good-Hearted but Willfully Ignorant Normies".

Time to watch John Carpenter's "They Live" again.
Thanks Til,
I think you may already know my views about the relative-utility of a few sociopaths in a gene pool, just entered as a comment.
I think I understand the function of sociopaths in the gene-pool, Josh, the reason why 2-4% of humans in any gene pool lack compassion and seek to exert power, absolute power, over other humans.

Yes. There's a lot of inertia in tribal narratives, but once a shift takes place, everyone moves at once.

David Icke might be controversial but worth checking out.

I gather from your description, Josh, that Charles doesn't grasp the existence of psychopaths, who are conscienceless, emotionless, selfish, cold and calculating, and devoid of any moral or ethical standards. Here's a great article: https://www.sott.net/article/148141-The-Trick-of-the-Psychopaths-Trade-Make-Us-Believe-that-Evil-Comes-from-Others

I have no idea who Charles is, but appreciate your compilation of the evidence that more people, doubters, should wake up to. Thank you.
