    Modwiz don't worry about people being fooled into war with Russia by the nonsense on TV.

    Won't happen. The American people already called out their bluff.

    The way child abuse may be related to Kakistocracy (rule by the worst) and how "the club" concept of network serves as a conduit for new members.

    Maintaining a Kakistocracy by Tjeerd Andringa
    January 9, 2017


    One of the reasons for the intimate association of the power elite with child abuse is that they might use it to maintain their, somewhat hidden, ‘kakistocracy’: government by the worst and most evil people: a highly capable brand of psychopaths if you like.

    Psychopathy is only mildly hereditary, so an elite psychopath cannot guarantee that sons or daughters will be just as psychopathic. I expect this entails that they need a steady resupply of ruthless and power hungry individuals who understand the world deeply and pervasively and, as such, are highly capable. Normally deep and pervasive understanding leads to wisdom and a sense of responsibility, humility even. But that is precisely not what that the kakistocracy needs: it needs the same depth and pervasiveness of understanding, but in combination with utter ruthlessness and the capacity to appear respectable.

    Enter child abuse. By abusing children you “give” them an attachment disorder by violating or destroying the deep sense of security that is the basis for an open attitude towards learning and discovering. With this trust violated the child’s world changes from a world of opportunities, to a world of potential and actual threats. And often they will search and serve those who can protect them from these threats an in doing so giving their autonomy away for life. And they might even carry it over to their children: stultifying their growth towards autonomy.

    Aristocrats and priest must have discovered a long time ago that abused children lead to useful adult servants; slaves actually. And while this is despicable to people with a normal moral development, it is a positive thing for psychopaths who see other people as tools anyway. Yet this does not solve the problem of keeping the kakistocracy supplied with respectable appearing, super high functioning, and completely ruthless psychopaths. Only a small fraction of the population (say 1%) is psychopath and as such has the benefit of an absence of empathy and a conscience: psychopaths are able to exploit others as if they were tools. Yet the vast majority of them are not particularly evil: they can be ruthless, daring, and callous, but they find mostly norm-abiding ways to be psychopathic: they might be mountaineers, military, ER-doctors, car or insurance salesmen, real-estate brokers, or white-collar criminals. But most are definitely not the high functioning individuals that compare with how the power elite sees themselves and would accept as their peers. So how do you recruit suitable psychopaths in your midst if they do not advertise themselves as such.
    Kakistocracy is defined as “rule by the worst.” Today on the program Dr. Tjeerd Andringa of the University of Groningen joins us to discuss his theory of how the kakistocracy uses child abuse to perpetuate their control, both over the victims of that abuse and its perpetrators. We also discuss what the vast majority of decent and moral people can do about this problem.

    Sofia Smallstorm returns to the show to offer her insights into the dark and sinister world of what she refers to as "the Club" and how this malevolent and occult society is behind the desecration of humanity.
    Tonights discussion will be based on two of Sofia's recent newsletters, the October newsletter where she shares her views "the Club" and its pervasive influence throughout society and the November newsletter which addresses the John Podesta email leaks and the Comet Ping Pong scandal.

    Something very special from the Bronx ...

    A Holocaust Survivor’s Violin Finds a New Home

    "In the spring of 2014, the filmmaker Kahane Cooperman was driving to work, listening to WQXR, the classical-music station, when she heard a promotion for a donation drive: the station was collecting used instruments to be given to schoolchildren. The promo mentioned one violin in particular that had been donated by a ninety-one-year-old Holocaust survivor. “There weren’t any more details than that,” Cooperman, a documentarian who also worked for more than a decade as a producer for “The Daily Show” and was the showrunner for the first season of Amazon’s “The New Yorker Presents,” told me. “But my curiosity was piqued immediately.” She set out to find out more about this old man and his violin.

    The man, she discovered, was Joseph Feingold, who had made his donation after hearing a similar segment on WQXR. A retired architect who was born in Warsaw, he moved to the United States in 1948 after spending six and a half years in a labor camp in Siberia. He was later reunited with his father and one of his brothers; his mother and his youngest brother were both killed at Treblinka. Joseph bought the violin in a displaced-person’s camp, in exchange for a carton of American cigarettes, while he was waiting to be moved to America. He said that in that moment, after years of extreme hardship, as he walked around the streets of the camp, playing the violin, “I finally lived as normally as could be.”

    Cooperman’s short documentary “Joe’s Violin,” which premièred at the Tribeca Film Festival, recounts Feingold’s story and also follows his instrument into the hands of a twelve-year-old girl named Brianna, the daughter of Dominican immigrants, who goes to school in the Bronx, in the poorest congressional district in the U.S. The film examines how a beloved object can come to carry meaning, memory, and love by showing how this particular violin brings together two people who are from very different walks of life but who find a similar comfort and “light,” as Brianna puts in, in music.

    “I really don’t identify this film as either a Holocaust film or a film about a city kid in the pure sense of those genres,” Cooperman said. Instead, the power of “Joe’s Violin” comes from the convergence of those two stories. The first meeting between Feingold and Brianna is a little tense, a little awkward, but both the old man, whose hands can no longer play the violin, and the adolescent girl, who wears flowers in her hair, seem to be brimming with a bittersweet kind of joy that they can’t quite express.

    The two have continued to keep in touch through letters, Cooperman said. Joe is now ninety-three and still listens to classical music on the radio every day. Brianna is fourteen and used Joe’s violin to audition for entry to performing-arts high schools; she got into her first-choice school."

    Ben Fulford's latest release had an interesting tidbit.

    "Satan has returned to the original creation and received absolution," a very esoteric source says.

    Anyone else got a line on this?

    I am imagining that IF "Satan" is a principle akin to "The devil (who can) make me do (something), it is that NOW we cannot project our choices onto an "opposite" force.

    If we are accepting of a particular new paradigm... (I am)?????

    Wider perspective and the truth is seen: there is One only with individual fractals EACH "drop" with free will choice. Then in this material "earth" life, we no longer can deny our choices consequence. There is no opposing character to blame for our trouble. Blame of anything and inability to take responsibility becomes the main issue. So "Satan" is now retired and absolved on the NEW Earth time line?

    There might be some concepts we have some variance with. The blaming of evil because someone chose to give it a body to act through was always a dis-empowerment tactic. Evil is a latency that will stay doramnt in the phenomenal world until someone acts upon a/the suggestion . Like a virus, replication is impossible without an organic vessel. Satan is a non-issue until humans start acting out from that energetic.

    Ben entertains me, sometimes. I do not listen to him regarding esoteric subjects.

    Is this the beginning of a new cycle of these happening? The Ides of March are looking bad for Empire. The subjects of Empire will feel differing effects.

    Prominent Hedge Fund Trader Jumps To His Death In Manhattan

    A prominent 47-year-old hedge fund trader was killed when he jumped from a luxury apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side, in an apparent suicide, authorities told the NY Post.

    Kevin Bell, most recently head of Credit Risk at Arrowgrass Capital, jumped from a ninth-floor kitchen window at the Apthorp building on West End Avenue near West 79th Street around 7:20 a.m. He landed on scaffolding that was set up in front of the building and was pronounced dead at the scene.
