We are all of us The Violated. I was a Seer, now a Recorder.
We all of us must now concentrate our rage and indignation upon the Unrepentant and we must unite to create a world not where we merely HOPE this will never happen again, but a world where such an Atrocity CANNOT happen ever again. Such a world will be very different from our fondly remembered, and largely illusory Old Normal and it will also be radically different from the totalitarian New Normal, which our tormentors are even now attempting to impose upon us.
I did not like this substack, I LOVED it. Later today I will reread it, print a copy and read it daily. Bob Moran’s “cartoon” captures all the things we now long for going forward. Thank you a million times for your effort of bringing us the truth, supported by data and science. Yesterday was a reminder the other side isn’t giving up. We must continue our efforts.
Welcome to Substack! I've come here from your support of my essay "Thoughtpolice dot com" at Stranger Worlds - thanks for reading! It is appreciated, and I will definitely keep an eye on what you're up to here. We are allies of a kind, whatever our differences.
Indeed, this Substack is so much alike in spirit to the one I almost began last year, at the time called 'Witness'. My tone would perhaps have been more reconciliatory, but I shared the horror, and the rage. And I still do. In the end, I went a different path: I started Stranger Worlds and How to Live in Them, and decided to write not just for 'the Seers', but also to attempt to reach those who were and are entirely unaware of what happened. This was not an easy choice for me, but I want to briefly share the reason that Witness did not happen.
As all your 'Seers' will be acutely aware, not many of us understood what was going on within the Nonsense. My wife and I really felt alone and isolated... especially since she worked as a nurse in an NHS hospital, and what we witnessed there was terrifying, and brought to mind all too readily the situation in Europe in the 1930s.
However, by accident or design (probably a horrific blend of both), the principle of 'divide and conquer' has been all too effectively applied. The majority of people trust the legacy media to report accurately, and have neither the time or the interest in investigating. It is, in many respects, so much easier to believe the lie that everyone believes than it is to stand out from the crowd - a lesson that both prophets and psychologists have reported, but that somehow is never truly taken onboard. "A prophet is never welcome in their hometown..."
As long as those of us aware of what happened draw up battle lines, we remain easy to exclude from consideration, and our power is diminished. Indeed, the beauty of the weaponisation of the term 'conspiracy theory' is the effortlessness with which unpopular opinion can be excluded. 'Heresy' did the same job half a millennia ago, but even this could not spread with the rapidity of the contemporary world.
To be true to my faith, I have to envision a time to come where truth and reconciliation can bring an end to the brutal divisions stoked by the Nonsense. If I let my rage lead me, I know I will never get to this 'promised land'. Someone - anyone - has to come at this problem with an eye to healing divisions, even if this is distant and far from view.
I say this not to impugn the witness you are making here... believe me, I feel it too. But it is not my calling to fight the battle on one side, but to strive for a peace that is yet to come, and that I may not live to see. Philosophy has been both a curse and a blessing in my life, but I follow the paths that open up to me and trust in where I am being sent. And like Ivan Illich and Raimon Pannikar before me, my philosophy is informed by my faith.
Thanks for the welcome, Chris, and for sharing your thoughts. It's interesting how much has changed in the the months since I published "Not safe, not effective, not necessary." My own thoughts with that article were towards those who'd led the way in standing up over the past three years. I'm sorry to hear how dreadful it was for your wife. It would be valuable to understand more about that. So much of what is discussed on S/stack is US centric.
I share your perspective on the ultimate trajectory that my own musings will take : my intent is to explore and articulate a post-Christendom philosophy of faith, culture and vocation. But I felt I needed to acknowledge the reality of what we have endured before I could even get to any discussion of regeneration, cultural, philosophical, let alone spiritual or moral.
Since then, I've identified a faster drift towards those issues and potential for their 'public' exploration. It's all new territory though, isn't it? I don't see it as a battle against people, even political forces, but a spiritual struggle for truth and freedom. Those are not easy things to promote, after so many years of dismissive, divisive secularism. But I sense a hunger growing.
I hope we get to talk more. Incidentally, on reconciliation: my latest post refers to aspects of reconciliation, under a novel rubric of atonement, through a lens of "Heart and Heath in Harmony". (https://open.substack.com/pub/writethevision/p/heart-and-hearth-in-harmony). Perhaps you'll have a read. Shalom.
This is a truly encouraging response, thank you. I am in the middle of completing an international move (my fifth), returning to the US with my wife (she and my kids are dual citizens), so my rhythm is rather disrupted right now. I did read your piece on Heart and Hearth the other day, but I have not had time to respond. Right now the demands on my time outstrip my capacities... but then, it was ever thus.
I too see the pandemic having many similarities to Germany of the 1930's. Being someone who likes to solve problems I know there will be a shortest path to Bob Moran's Utopian future. I hope a leader arises to take us there.
Political leaders tend to either be opportunists (who are rarely trustworthy) or hapless idealists swept along by the current of events. Since the latter is preferable, it is often best to push for the movement you feel speaks to your needs and then let the leaders emerge in due course! 🙂
What a fantastic assessment I honor and admire your courage, I agree with you all the way, God Almighty I thank you so much for people like you, there was a time when I felt so lonely, but I know now that I have many friend
I'm so glad the sense of community generated by seers and recorders etc has taken the edge off your loneliness. We've felt it too. New networks will form. New companions will be discovered. New friendships formed. Keep on keeping on!
Brilliant. I wanted to cross-post to my secondary (Full Broadside) but the option seems disabled.
I was writing my own articulation rhetorically refuting the contention "safe and effective", but production is slow due to the evidence I need to collect to give the rhetoric the necessary force. This was a much easier read. Cheers.
Thank you, so satisfying to read. (Gary Sharpe just recommended.) Well done. I'd only add that the last 3 years is where it got over-the-top egregious and obvious. We were born into a slave-system, really and there's been a long term anti-human agenda behind our world. The very good thing about their insane ambition is now it's hard not to see it.
Thank you, Kathleen. I really appreciate that. The anti-human nature of it became clear to me early on. I realised that the spirit behind events was "trying to snuff out the human spirit" and our innate thirst for life, knowledge, community, goodness etc. I recognised the danger for many of us of going into a dark place in response, into despair. Having made a journey away from a personal dark place, wherein despair represented an abyss into which one could fall -- and having looked over that frightening precipice, I recognised what was at stake and began to measure my own steps ever-more carefully, in order not to stumble.
I'm so glad you made that journey! The world needs you. Those of us who did see it, and didn't fall prey, are literally going to create the new world emerging. We will need each other - even if the community is over the internet. So much heartache already and more to come. Really glad I learned of your stack. Best to you.
What a time. And we who are alive and awake... We are alive and have been awakened "for such a time as this"! Let's stay in touch. I've subscribed to your stack :)
So: does knowing any or all of this cause the harms to cease? Is this the goal here or not: for the harms to cease?
That's a simple question. Is stopping The Harms the goal or not? & if you feel dread or anxiety even attempting to answer that question to yourself or out loud, isn't THAT the problem? That you get anxious to the point of paralysis when discussing saving children's lives?
The fact is everyone already knew everything above. You all live in active denial that lobbying occurs. Then when one cannot sustain that fallacy, one goes half a step sideways only & tells everyone & themselves that "it doesn't affect policy or decision-making."
Then when THAT lie fails... long story short, we all know that NO ONE can TAKE these amounts of $ from corporations http://allaregreen.us/ then not do as those corporations want & survive, at least politically. So even if any decision-maker anywhere WANTED TO end these harms with us, they couldn't. So We Need to act.
So the Only Choice Here is whether you want to continue allowing corporate rule & those harms or wish to act to save the lives of children. Please contact me only if/when you no longer feel Too High A Discomfort contemplating these bare facts or by all means, show where I'm wrong. Even if we counter this Some Other Way but leave in place lobbying, what's next?
The same. So: children's lives or corporate rule. Choose. Legal, non-violent actions to save children's lives, or continue to sit & wait for "someone else" (Gandalf? The Congolese Air Force?) to come rescue YOU while children are killed for Fun & Profit.
Great cri de cœur: of course the complicit and their Pétainist collaborators won't read it: they are still locked into their own narratives, including taking comfort from the nonsense promulgated by Imperial College that millions of lives have been 'saved' through the fake jabs.
Hard to see where we go from here, the veils of time are already being drawn over the whole sordid episode, and the villains taking their early retirement packages and hiding away in comfort. The public inquiries will take a decade or more: deliberately, and so will the court cases.
the threat hasn't gone away: did you read the WHO statement the other day, declaring that the world would not be safe until everyone in the third world was vaccinated? They are totally delusional, but as long as Bill Gates and the Pharma cartels stuff their mouths with money, they will continue to be a serious threat. And until mainstream media tells the truth, the public will be contented sheeples.
Indeed. That's why I say "a decade, at least" in my latest post, as well as above. The price of freedom is constant vigilance. The battle is underway. It's only just begun and no one, no one will get their own way like they almost did in the last three years. No guarantees, but https://www.weareready.world/
Thank you. A seer and a recorder am I. I see and I record. I wonder if enough people hear. Certainly it seems my wave cannot yet crash hard enough to erode the hard rock of inertia and passivity upon which it crashes. Iatrogenic harm? Unintentional harm? I believe all of the harm is fully intentional.. by the demons who lead, who have taken over so much consciousness of those still unaware of how they have been manipulated and used to become a huge dark force. We seers and recorders must chip away, erode that, pull back souls. What a time we live in! We must not, cannot give in....
We are all of us The Violated. I was a Seer, now a Recorder.
We all of us must now concentrate our rage and indignation upon the Unrepentant and we must unite to create a world not where we merely HOPE this will never happen again, but a world where such an Atrocity CANNOT happen ever again. Such a world will be very different from our fondly remembered, and largely illusory Old Normal and it will also be radically different from the totalitarian New Normal, which our tormentors are even now attempting to impose upon us.
Resist. Recreate.
Thanks for honoring all those people. Include me in. I look forward to seeing what comes from your engagement with the world through Substack.

friends like you. Greetings from Australia 🥂
Greetings Jan 😎
I'm so glad the sense of community generated by seers and recorders etc has taken the edge off your loneliness. We've felt it too. New networks will form. New companions will be discovered. New friendships formed. Keep on keeping on!
Excellent. Thank you.
Thank you for being a "recorder".

Hopefully gets working again. I'd like to have my first cross post experience! 😎 encouragement much appreciated. Thnx JP
Omg. Just viewed your s/s profile,JP. We have a LOT in common!
Just like I understood both your screen name and Newsletter name come from one of my favourite prophetic books.
"Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay."
Habakkuk 2:2-3

Thank you, again for those comments; they have hit a target in my heart. I believe you are correct about an "emergent world" ... within a world
My pleasure. What a time to be alive, right?
(A 'real' world too, outside this 'matrix' we've been in.)
It's coming. (And we'll likely have to remind each other of that as we move through the current destruction of the old.)😊
What a time. And we who are alive and awake... We are alive and have been awakened "for such a time as this"! Let's stay in touch. I've subscribed to your stack :)
I agree. No accidents.
Yes, I look forward to it. Thank you!

Sorry, Joel Smalley had cross posted it---I mistook the author!
so
Truly excellent, Havakuk.!
You're very kind. ☝️👌 😎
SUPERB! Thank you for this. Thank you. I needed this today and I will be spreading this Stack FAR AND WIDE. God Bless us one and ALL.
I'm humbled. Thank you for your encouragement.
May truth be heard…
May hearts be opened…
May villainy be exposed…
May children be restored…
May Life triumph over Death.

Truly excellent Joel.
A testimony on behalf of all of us out here.
Thanks. But who's Joel?
This was crossposted by Jaime Jessop, and picked up and crossposted by Joel Smalley "Dead Man Talking" - a fairly large substack.
Got it. Thanks, Joel!
And Jaime. New experience for me, so much interest. Nice though.
Can you point me to that cross post?
It comes only via email if you are a subscriber to their substacks
