TIMES, TIME, AND HALF A TIME. A HISTORY OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

Comments on a cultural reality between past and future.

This blog describes Metatime in the Posthuman experience, drawn from Sir Isaac Newton's secret work on the future end of times, a tract in which he described Histories of Things to Come. His hidden papers on the occult were auctioned to two private buyers in 1936 at Sotheby's, but were not available for public research until the 1990s.

Local Economies and the Pandemic Response



For today, some discussions focus on the development of local networks for food production to offset supply line shortages. The full podcast previewed above is here. From Local Futures (-Thanks to R.):
"Have you been wondering what the world might look like after this pandemic has passed?

Helena Norberg-Hodge tackled this question and many more with the comedian/commentator Russell Brand in the latest episode of his podcast, Under the Skin. Among the subjects discussed was the recent surge of interest in local food, community-based mutual aid, and radical economic thinking.

Russell is a controversial figure, but he is exceptionally incisive and articulate and has a genuine passion for exploring alternatives to corporate capitalism."
Brand's podcast is promoting some webinars held this month by Swedish speaker, Helena Norberg-Hodge. Local Futures, an anti-globalist leftist organization which promotes local self-reliance, is holding live free webinars with Norberg-Hodge, with one webinar tomorrow:

Pandemic Pivot Point


Excerpt from article cited in this post. Image Source: 4chan.

For today, here is a selection of recent videos. The perception of the nCov virus shows how hard it is for us to see reality beyond ourselves. There are two camps, whose interpretation of the pandemic depends on their pre-existing opinions. I haven't yet seen the people becoming red-pilled due to the virus, although it may be happening. Some say:
  • Virus is serious, obey the rules, wait for vaccine, increasingly accepting authoritarianism
  • Virus is not serious or not real, governments are imposing technocratic totalitarianism, New World Order incoming
To an extent, I agree with both views. I think the virus is serious and that technocratic totalitarianism, a great depression, and World War 3 are real possibilities.

The Internet is discussing an article from Cellular and Molecular Immunology, published on 7 April 2020, SARS-CoV-2 infects T lymphocytes through its spike protein-mediated membrane fusion (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41423-020-0424-9). It concludes that the nCov coronavirus infects T cells. These cells are vital to the body's immune response system because they can kill virus-infected cells.

Because of these and other studies, I do not agree with conspiracists that the virus is a psyop and a non-threat. The published research literature indicates that Wuhan's biolab was a hot spot for gain-of-function research in relation to bat viruses. There are, according to George Webb's research, eleven different bioweaponized strains of this virus (!), which were commissioned by several funding bodies. From PLOS Pathogens (30 November 2017; https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1006698):
"Funding: This work was jointly funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China (81290341, 31621061) to ZLS, China Mega-Project for Infectious Disease (2014ZX10004001-003) to ZLS, Scientific and technological basis special project (2013FY113500) to YZZ and ZLS from the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (XDPB0301) to ZLS, the National Institutes of Health (NIAID R01AI110964), the USAID Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT) PREDICT program to PD and ZLS, CAS Pioneer Hundred Talents Program to JC, NRF-CRP grant (NRF-CRP10-2012-05) to LFW and WIV 'One-Three-Five' Strategic Program (WIV-135-TP1) to JC and ZLS."

Bioweapons research is a strategic reality that is not openly acknowledged by Great Power governments. Again, I post a recent documentary investigation into these projects (above), which are conducted under publicly legitimate auspices like vaccine research, but are cause for serious concern.

On a personal note, I was very ill with a strange flu from late January to late February, which prompted me to follow events in China closely. I know a number of people who were also ill with strange symptoms in the same time period. As I stated in an addendum to a previous post, on 20 March 2020, I saw a man who had collapsed, face down, in a nearby grocery story parking lot. There was something eerie about the way his body had fallen and I believe it was COVID19. Of course, he could have suffered from something else. The case was not reported in the local newspapers, although I called one of them. These events made me take the nCov warnings seriously.

However, it is equally difficult to ignore citizen journalists' reports from hospitals around North America that emergency rooms are empty. These accounts from citizens go on and on and on, enough that the CBC had to publish an article explaining the anomaly away on 26 March 2020.











This fact has led to a pushback from citizens against public health pronouncements, starting with humorous pokes at government officials, followed by public protests against lockdowns. In the case below, a Canadian comedian made fun of Health Minister Patty Hajdu. Following that, there were Canadian protests against lockdowns in Vancouver, marshalled by vlogger Dan Dicks.

Coronavirus: The Prestige of Censorship


Still from The Prestige (2006). Reproduced under Fair Use. Image Source: 3d Dog Script.

To quote the Christopher Nolan film, The Prestige (2006), every magic trick has three acts: the pledge, the turn, and the prestige. In the pledge, the magician shows you something ordinary. In the turn, the magician makes that ordinary thing do something extraordinary, like making it disappear. But in magic, it's not enough to make something disappear. You have to bring it back. This final illusion is the prestige.

The Prestige Every Magic Trick Has Three Parts (11 January 206). Video Source: Youtube.

Using a trick in which the magician makes a canary disappear, The Prestige explained how magic works. The trick takes something away and brings it back. How does it do this? The video below shows the grisly truth. The original canary is killed by the magician and replaced by a duplicate living bird, an imposter. It looks like the original bird is recovered. But the thing that is brought back is not the same thing that disappeared. It only looks that way.

Information about the coronavirus pandemic has something of a magician's prestige about it. Whatever we lose now, we will lose for good. When it comes back, it will not be the same thing, even though it will look identical. This week, nCov's competing narratives divided between:
  • Governmental and mainstream media: the pledge
  • Real alternative media: the turn
  • Fake alternative media (in fact, governmental): the prestige
In our current situation, the 'canary' being made to disappear is the original alternative media, and the magician is governmental control.
