🔥The messianic tech oligarchy: Tikkun Olam Most truthers already know that transhumanist tech companies such as Palantir, OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and their investors such as Blackrock want to monitor us completely and enslave us by putting us in a digital prison. What most people don't know, however, is that... they follow the concept of Tikkun Olam, the repair of the world. The term already implies that, in their view, humanity is “broken” and needs to be repaired. Nowadays, the term is mostly associated with left-wing politics. But there is also an occult, Kabbalistic meaning of the term, which involves the extermination of all peoples except one. In this interview, I show that the tech giants are working precisely on this and that their founders and investors refer to Tikkun Olam. More on that topic in my book "The Open Secret":show more

The Asiatic Brethren were a crucial but short lived link that kept Sabbatean Frankism alive, so that it remains with us today, hidden in plain sight. Much of the ideology of todays global death cult comes from the Lurianic Kabbalah, mixed with the inversion principle of Satanism. When they say they want to "repair the world" (Tikkun Olam) what they mean is they aim to destroy the current world and rebuild it in their Messianic image. This weeks Focus with myself on Ickonic The show where our subscribers pick the subject matter.

The Cult of Trump and Netanyahu have convinced themselves they are repairing the world (Tikkun Olam) through sin. That is why they can genocide an entire national (Gaza) and then just move on to Iran. The world needs them both sectioned before it really is too late.

🚨ZUCK: We had organizations looking into us that weren't even involved in Social Media. We had the CFPB looking after us. I didn't even know what that is. It's some financial institution that Elizabeth Warren set up. We're not a bank, what does Meta have to do with this? They came up with some theory and were trying really hard to make it work. I don't know how this stuff works -- is it a directive? A quiet consensus? It's tough to be at the other end of that. The US Government should be defending its companies, not at the tip of the spear attacking its companies. The EU has fined the tech companies more thsn $30B over the last 10-20 years. This is a EU wide policy for how they want to deal with tech, it's kind of like a tariff. The US Government led the attacks against their companies which gave permission for the EU and other countries to go after US companies as well. I think that the American tech industry is a bright spot in the US economy, it's a strategic advantage, and it should be part of the US' strategy going forward to defend that. I am optimistic about that with Trump, I think he just wants the US to win. At least in the US we have rule of law, you get your day in court, and we usually win, but other countries don't have that. If the US wants to remain strong, the US has to have a role in defending their tech."

🧠PROFOUND: Former hedge fund manager David Rogers Webb describes how the central banks are "the true seat of power" and have aimed to "sever [us] from understanding that our minds create reality" "The mind is very powerful.

This is extremely alarming! We all need to be aware of what is happening however hard it is to comprehend Most of us already know that all the towers that went up during and since the lockdowns have nothing to do with cell phone reception. These are part of their weapon system!

Conspiracy no more: Nicole Shanahan says that Robert Kennedy JR's HHS is putting together a team to investigate chemtrails. She says that the Overton window has blown wide open on the geoengineering of weather and that this is the beginning of the global conversation on this topic as people come forward with more evidence. The Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum have both been involved in pushing for this but then they have called anyone who wants to know exactly what they are doing a conspiracy theorist just as they did with the Covid Vaccines. Why? "It appears that the Overton window has been blown wide open on the issue of geoengineering atmospheric weather modification… And I do know that HHS is in the process of putting together a team to investigate this. We do know that cloud seeding does exist. We do know that counties throughout the United States have active contracts with private companies to cloud seed and thus bring greater moisture to arid lands and this is all done under the umbrella of climate change mitigation… I think it reminds all of us of the statement around the MRNA vaccines being safe and effective. Don't look under the hood. Don't listen to these conspiratorial voices…And in fact there is quite a bit of active censorship or medium manipulation that really deters individuals from furthering their inquiries and curiosity as to what's actually at play. And you know I think that that playbook of really using these derogatory attacks on qualified inquiries to shut them up I mean that reminds us all of what felt like during those COVID lockdowns… And so there's a lot of parallels to be drawn between the COVID-19 era and what's happening today which is this Overton window being long wide open on the issue of geoengineering people coming forward with evidence that is raising concern real red flags about the contents of what is being used for weather modification the lack of regulatory oversight the lack of closure to the public...the lack of public consent… I think this is the beginning of this global conversation. I do know the Gates Foundation is involved in geoengineering. I do know Open Philanthropy is involved in geoengineering. I know that the World Economic Forum has pushed it and several universities are pushing for it. We deserve as the people a full disclosure of the process..." Nicole Shanahan

In my interview with LBC, I explained that this is a full scale revolution that is growing organically through the leadership of numerous leaders, which is why the regime has a much harder time to crack down on the protests as it cannot pinpoint a source. Now is the time for us to unite around what we all want, which is freedom, the overthrowing of the regime and establishment of the secular democratic system in Iran. The people of Iran continue to embrace the support of President Trump, as it gives them hope to continue towards the overthrow of this evil regime. I am sure that President Trump also appreciates the sacrifices being made by the people of Iran, not only for their own freedom, but the safety and security of the entire world. And on this point, it is time that other world leaders, including Sir Keir Starmer Keir Starmer break their silence and stand with the people of Iran. #IRGCterrorist #IranRevolution

Or maybe Christianity was just the tool the jews used to spread their God and Messiah around the world for them... "The Older will serve the younger" "Christianity itself has promoted. Certain very important Jewish ideas which paganism did not have. Christianity believes in the Messiah, whatever" "They also believe that there will be an end and in the end righteousness will will happen and so on. And also basically that there's only one God, you know, it's Christianity has gone all over the world to promote this and that is part of the tikkun"

The loss of two police officers and the wounding of another in my home state of Victoria is an unfathomable tragedy. We mourn their loss. It's a reminder that for police and their families, they carry a daily burden in their jobs that most of us simply don’t carry – which is the possibility that the routine becomes the tragic. And for that, we are truly grateful.

Did you know that during the war on Iran the US/Israel targeted Pistachio nut farms and distribution centres? Why would they do that you might ask? Well nearly the entire Pistachio industry in the US is run by one family. They also control most of the water supply in California which is why they have such bad fires. They are the Resnick Family and they also happen to be jewish zionists who support the IOF and zionist causes with major donations. They also donate to both The Republicans and The Democrats. What are the chances of that?

Me: I discuss in the book—it refers to the state where I know something, you know something, I know that you know it, you know that I know it, I know that you know that I know it, and so on ad infinitum. So it differs a bit from the conventional usage, which just refers to something that everyone knows. Here, everyone has to know that everyone knows. Times Radio Interviewer (Daniel Finkelstein Daniel Finkelstein): Can I use this with reference to the interview that I did yesterday with my brother? My brother’s a professor at City University; he’s president of the university, and there’s a campaign at the moment going on against one of their professors who was in the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1980s. We were having a discussion about how the university was standing up for the free speech of its staff, and I’d begun to wonder, as I went home reading your book on the tube, whether I’d made a big mistake—because the protest against this professor is really just a coordination exercise, isn’t it? And maybe I’d aided it by talking about it. Me: Oh yes—protests are coordination exercises. They’re designed to make private knowledge common knowledge. So, in a repressive regime, everyone may know that they despise the government, but because criticism of the government is punished, people might keep their opinions to themselves, with a result that they really don’t know what their fellow citizens think. Each one might think that they’re the only ones that are disgruntled, and so they can’t fear standing up to—they fear standing up to oppose the regime, because they can be picked off one at a time. If everyone were to protest at once, no government has the firepower to intimidate all its citizens at once. In a public protest, people can see other people there, and they know that the people there see other people there, and that can give them the strength and numbers to oppose the regime—sometimes by literally storming the palace, or sometimes just bringing the machinery of the state to a halt through work stoppages. But the crucial thing is that they are coordinated. They can only be coordinated if everyone knows that everyone knows that they hate the regime. Daniel Finkelstein: I suppose that social media is making people—is increasing the stock of common knowledge. We’re all much more aware of what other people like us, in particular like us, know, and we also know that other people know it, and so on, as you put it, and that makes people have more common knowledge. It’s not making us happier though; maybe we’d be better with less common knowledge? Me: Social media are making us more connected within certain circles—that is, those who are receiving the same texts and feeds that we are. It reduces the pool of, or shrinks the largest pool of common knowledge, namely the whole country, which may have been accessible in a day in which, say, in the United States there were three networks, or in Britain everyone was listening to the BBC. And yes, it probably doesn’t make us as happy, because when everything is public, it means that your reputation is on the line for anything you say or do. It means that since social media allow us to generate common knowledge, not just receive it like in the old days, it means that attacks on people’s reputation can be common knowledge, which means that it’s all the more painful for people on the receiving end of the attack. It may have something to do with the fact that in certain demographics—especially young people whose lives increasingly are online—that there’s that much more social competition, opportunities for gossip and ostracism and demeaning comments, and so on.

My brother’s a professor at City University; he’s president of the university, and there’s a campaign at the moment going on against one of their professors who was in the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1980s. We were having a discussion about how the university was standing up for the free speech of its staff, and I’d begun to wonder, as I went home reading your book on the tube, whether I’d made a big mistake—because the protest against this professor is really just a coordination exercise, isn’t it? And maybe I’d aided it by talking about it. Me: Oh yes—protests are coordination exercises. They’re designed to make private knowledge common knowledge. So, in a repressive regime, everyone may know that they despise the government, but because criticism of the government is punished, people might keep their opinions to themselves, with a result that they really don’t know what their fellow citizens think. Each one might think that they’re the only ones that are disgruntled, and so they can’t fear standing up to—they fear standing up to oppose the regime, because they can be picked off one at a time. If everyone were to protest at once, no government has the firepower to intimidate all its citizens at once. In a public protest, people can see other people there, and they know that the people there see other people there, and that can give them the strength and numbers to oppose the regime—sometimes by literally storming the palace, or sometimes just bringing the machinery of the state to a halt through work stoppages. But the crucial thing is that they are coordinated. They can only be coordinated if everyone knows that everyone knows that they hate the regime. Daniel Finkelstein: I suppose that social media is making people—is increasing the stock of common knowledge. We’re all much more aware of what other people like us, in particular like us, know, and we also know that other people know it, and so on, as you put it, and that makes people have more common knowledge. It’s not making us happier though; maybe we’d be better with less common knowledge? Me: Social media are making us more connected within certain circles—that is, those who are receiving the same texts and feeds that we are. It reduces the pool of, or shrinks the largest pool of common knowledge, namely the whole country, which may have been accessible in a day in which, say, in the United States there were three networks, or in Britain everyone was listening to the BBC. And yes, it probably doesn’t make us as happy, because when everything is public, it means that your reputation is on the line for anything you say or do. It means that since social media allow us to generate common knowledge, not just receive it like in the old days, it means that attacks on people’s reputation can be common knowledge, which means that it’s all the more painful for people on the receiving end of the attack. It may have something to do with the fact that in certain demographics—especially young people whose lives increasingly are online—that there’s that much more social competition, opportunities for gossip and ostracism and demeaning comments, and so on.
