Here, I will be doing something unusual in combining Substack content with Locals content because, in this analysis of what’s happening in the world at this moment (Russia invasion of Ukraine, etc), both a cursory knowledge of metaphysics and philosophy, as well as the current events and truth discernment is needed. It is necessary both to get a broad understanding of the events defining our age, as well as the day-to-day considerations we must have to most properly positions ourselves for what is to come.

First, we must understand that the powers-that-be understand that outcomes can be engineered utilizing the problem > reaction > solution dialectic. This is the weaponized form of the Hegelian dialectic, and it is utilized first by envisioning an outcome, second by identifying a theoretical problem for which a solution exists that brings about the desired outcome, and then working diligently to implement the problem. We must understand that our elites are, in fact, in the business of creating problems on purpose.

This situation creates a fog of information warfare in significant part due to the way it interacts with normalcy bias. People tend to assume those that display their team colors are working towards the same goals as them, and so very many actions to the contrary are simply rationalized along “useful idiot” lines that help prevent mass resistance from forming. This is perhaps best demonstrated by simply looking at the treachery of GOP leadership. No discerning, honest actor can say that these “leaders” actually work for the good of their base.

So, then, what does this tell us about today? First, be wary of anybody who confidently asserts specifics about the conspiracies afoot, especially those purporting to expose grand plans. Yes, there are, indeed, conspiracies afoot, but discerning specifics is near impossible when you’re working with only a vague idea of the desired outcome, and frantically trying to discern the events unfolding as either conspiracy or coincidence. So, we must attempt to tread carefully, and assign confidence as relatively low in most circumstances.

What do we know? Well, we know that there are those working along lines of hermetic Scientism to bring about the utopia their religion suggests may be built by men (you can call it Communism, Fascism, Progressivism, Anarchy, etc). We know that there are also actors involved with this effort that are less true believers than sociopaths, intent on wielding religious zeal and promise to accumulate their own power. We know that these people wield significant power and wealth. We know some of their names: Schwab, Kerry, Crenshaw, Blackrock, the Federal Reserve, etc.

We know that Russia has now invaded Ukraine, that soldiers and civilians are dying, and that events are not playing out as many would have expected. These deviations from what might have been expected should be weighted more likely as tells of conspiracy than coincidence, at least in aggregate. The massive narrative push is also telling.

What is it telling? It is telling that mass is building towards going to war with Russia. There is simply no other way to read the extreme measures taken by the EU, NATO, and the US against Russia: from central bank and personal sanctions, to providing a constant flow of advanced lethal weapons to include fighter aircraft, to cyberwarfare measures, western nations have taken the gloves off against a country armed with nukes giving everyone reason to question the rationality of its leader. In turn we must either question the rationality of our own leaders also, or operate on the assumption that this is the problem they are working diligently to bring about towards some end.

What could that end be? Well, first we return to the weaponized dialectic for a moment. What would be the reason to adopt the dialectic in the first place? Well, sociology holds answers, particularly in the study of identity. You see, most of the world still possesses nationalist tendencies – much to the chagrin of elites. One, as a leader, cannot simply tell their fellow countrymen that you intend to sabotage the nation in favor of some supranational project. It would not be accepted, and they would be run out of town. You utilize the weaponized dialectic to create the necessary public sentiment (“manufactured consent”) to get you to a goal the public otherwise would oppose. This also lends towards the phrase “never let a crisis go to waste,” though it implies that first that “crisis” must itself be manufactured.

Next, we again must have humility in our assessments, as were attempting to guess at what “problem” some shadowy cabal might think sufficiently useful to bring about a desired endpoint we barely understand. Obviously, as time progresses, we will learn what actually occurs (at least in theory), but in the moments leading up to any particular event signals tend to shift in such a way that makes the event evidently more likely.

This is where we are in this particular cycle with events, narrative, and popular opinion all now pointing – perhaps not conclusively, but significantly – towards the outcome of a US/NATO war with Russia being imminent. All indications are that it’s going to happen, and soon. Perhaps the goal is to create the circumstances gamed out by the World Economic Forum recently in an “attack” on the world’s financial sectors requiring the ditching of national currencies for digital currencies, and supranational control – after all, the last time they “wargamed” something out was October 2019 when they considered a theoretical coronavirus pandemic leading to a Great Reset. Perhaps the goal is broader, maybe even a purposeful United States loss in a major war to put a final nail in coffin of American hegemony that might threaten the global project.

I say all the preceding to make this analysis: I now assess with medium confidence that war with Russia is imminent. This has significant implications for what you should be doing right now. In terms of messaging and information do not play into pro-war narratives. Actively seek to polarize, delegitimize, and make taboo pro-war narratives. Otherwise, it is time to begin to take actions to protect your families from the difficulties that will follow. It should be abundantly clear, now, why China has been stockpiling more supplies than we knew about storage capacity for.
