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.

Mexico's Mirror: Drug War Extermination and Simple Freedoms

It could be a crazy rumour to relaunch a social media channel, or it could be a true account of unreported mass killing. Shaun Attwood's Youtube channel, which is covering the Epstein case each day, today featured another Youtuber, OG Shadow, an American who claims to be living in Mexico.

Mass Murder Camp in Mexico

On 11 January 2020, OG Shadow reported that the Zetas crime cartel have resorted to mass killing independent drug dealers, who are nicknamed 'grasshoppers' or chapulines. In the state of Tamaulipas, a Zetas deserter led government officials to a concentration camp with "over 47 working ovens," which have been burning dead bodies "24/7." One Youtuber dismissed these allegations:
"Google Earth. I spent a few hours canvassing Tamaulipas and found.... Nothing. Nothing even resembling two football fields worth of square rectangular shaped buildings being used as ovens 2 incinerate human beings."
OG Shadow was quite interested in getting views for this video. The report may be no more than a plea for subscribers. On the other hand, Tamaulipas is indeed a region of extreme violence. You can see escalating accounts about the area: here, herehere, and here.

On 17 December 2019, the American State Department issued an advisory against traveling to the state of Tamaulipas. The Valley Morning Star reported:
"The advisory issued on Tuesday warns Americans to refrain from traveling to the state of Tamaulipas due to crime and kidnapping, and the states of Colima, Guerrero, Michoacán, and Sinaloa because of ongoing crime.

Matamoros, Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo are located in the state of Tamaulipas. ... [US] Federal officials report organized criminal activity such as gun battles, murder, armed robbery, carjacking, kidnapping, forced disappearances, extortion and sexual assaults is common in the Tamaulipas area. Criminal organizations usually target public and private passenger buses as well private vehicles traveling through the state."
Three weeks later, an American family was murdered in this region while traveling on the highway.

Los Zetas dominate half of Mexico. Even more disturbing is the fact that they originated from the Mexican Army's special forces. Business Insider described their history here. They became, in the words of the Mexican Defence Department, "the most formidable death squad to have worked for organised crime in Mexican history."

One of the long-running themes of this blog is that the seemingly civilized developed world is built upon massive corruption, slavery, and brutality. We cannot seem to develop prosperous democracies without rooting them in evil. My blog posts explore how we can come to terms with that contradiction without lying to ourselves, and without getting lost in trutherism.

Live Unchained in Mexico

While OG Shadow has confirmed the MSM's terrifying portrayal of Mexico, Canadian Jeff Berwick has sought to counter that image as he promotes his cryptocurrency anarcho-libertarian event in Acapulco, the upcoming sixth annual Anarchapulco (10-20 February 2020). The rap intro of the event's official website runs: Learn how to live unchained.

Berwick's own Youtube channel regularly features him lounging in posh resorts and strolling through high end communities in Mexico City. Last year, he did, as one Youtuber put it, put down his glass of wine and his cigarette and raid Epstein's island - and more power to him. But mainly, he prefers more comfortable circumstances, from which he dismisses the mainstream media, the banking system, the pharmaceutical companies, all statist governments, all globalist enterprises, the police, and most levels of education. He calls the Pentagon, "the Pentagram."

You don't need any of those things, Berwick insists, to become rich, free, and happy. His reports from the manicured parts of Mexico startle in their contrast with the MSM reports we receive of drug cartel bloodbaths. Of course, developing countries have guarded and gated elite enclaves, and Berwick's habitual presence there indicates he is still part of the mirror world that plagues us.

Berwick would likely protest and claim that he is part of the revolution to overthrow a compromised establishment. Nor are his efforts simply part of a drive to build a new hierarchy, because Anarchapulco ties anarcho-libertarianism to spiritual evolution. At best, Berwick is one of a new breed of outsiders, who remain conflicted as they are seduced by the old materialist lifestyles and the new anti-materialist philosophies.

Some Deepfakes Shine, And Some Don't


Jim Carrey DeepFake [VFX Comparison] (3 September 2019). Video Source: Youtube.

Above, see a video crafted by the Youtuber Ctrl Shift Face, who uses facial image data from films to replace one actor's face with another. In this case, data from Jim Carrey's many films were used to cast him as a Jack Nicholson Doppelgänger in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980). The title of this post is, of course, taken from Mr. Hallorann's dialogue in the film.

When one considers how many cameras (including our own virtual assistants, computers, tablets, smartphones, smart TVs and other gadgets) follow us all day long, one can see that our facial data are being collected for future applications. Digital facial recognition and tracking are already entrenched in China as tools of state control.

This extraordinarily dangerous technology shows how deepfakes could be used to manipulate politics and elections, falsify the news, blackmail people, destroy reputations, and essentially control anyone and everyone, anywhere. I will discuss this tech further in future posts. Below, see all the videos related to the deepfake Shining. If the playlist does not play automatically, you can watch it here.

Intermission

It is time for an intermission. I have called the 2010s a 'decade of disillusionment,' when many of us lost our faith in authoritative realities, due to revelations of corruption, violence, mass manipulation, and exploitation. It is hard to know what to believe as we leave those years behind.

I miss the days before that decade, when I believed in official reality. I miss the days when I thought that Kevin Spacey was just a great actor and Tom Hanks played a nice Boomer Everyman. Now we live in an alternate reality where Spacey kills people with kindness. And Hanks publishes creepy photos of lost gloves and baby shoes, whether they are on streets, parks, or abandoned in the desert. We do not have to look very far before we encounter photos like the one above - freely posted by the celebrities themselves! This is no whistle-blower's work. This is symbolism, rubbed in the faces of the uninitiated mob. But it is so blatant that even the uninitiated know there is something twisted, ugly, and wrong about it.

It's time for a breather from the theatrics in which the mass media, political media, and social media are weaponized against audience populations. It is time to collect ourselves and get our bearings. It is time for an intermission.

Drones, And Rumours of Drones


Residents concerned as FAA investigates mystery Colorado drones (31 December 2019). Video Source: Youtube.

It's like a scene from a 1970s' Spielberg film: Internet chatter among Youtubers indicates that since the third week of December 2019, fleets of drones have been flying at night in "research grid formation" in the United States, "[o]ut west. Colorado, Nebraska, Idaho, Wyoming." Some of these drones have wingspans of six feet and have hovered for hours over small towns. This has provoked a storm of discussion on the legality of drone invasion of airspace over, and even inside, private homes, about which I previously blogged, here.

Australia's Plight in the New Year

Deepest sympathies and concern go to my readers in Australia, affected by the wildfires. May you find safety and protection from this disaster. The government blames the conflagrations on climate change and global warming. However, there are online discussions which blame the government for the situation, for example: here, here, and here.

World War III Projections 4: New Year, New Decade, New Disinformation



New years countdown in LONDON 2020 (31 December 2019). Video Source: Youtube.

Happy New Year, Happy New Decade. In a previous post, I dubbed the 2010s, a 'decade of disillusionment,' because those years drew new political lines. Those lines no longer delineate the outmoded left from the outdated right, but instead divide those who are awake from those who are still asleep.

When I say awake and asleep, I do not mean this as conspiracy theorists would, who constantly nurse anti-Semitic paranoia about who 'really rules the world.' Nor do I refer to the 'woke' protest culture. Such perspectives are distorted extensions of archaic left and right political paradigms.

Rather, I was referring to the development of an enhanced sensibility, induced partly by overexposure to information and disinformation, and partly by technologically-induced shifts in the way we live, which force reappraisal of one's whole experience of reality.

In short, reappraise experience and we will reappraise reality. That development, in conjunction with technological advancement, forms the core of the new politics. The moral challenge is to harness technology without becoming enslaved by it. Mechanical invention, innovation, and engineering are secondary to conscience, creativity, and ideas.

The real battle lies in the cultivation of sound public judgement over information. As the old authorities over information lose ground and the new tech giants seek to censor the narrative of progress, we struggle to discern what information is valuable and ultimately beneficial, even if we can no longer distinguish truth from fiction. Can we retain our moral compasses in the process?

Awaken the Amnesiacs 12A: You're Locked in Here with Me


KEVIN SPACEY AND HIS BIZARRE CHRISTMAS EVE VIDEO | Double Toasted (25 December 2019). Video Source: Youtube.

To follow on my previous post on Kevin Spacey's Christmas video, see the above discussion from Double Toasted, which explains Spacey's video clearly. As host Korey Coleman points out, Spacey is owning his alleged sexual predator status and is using the scandal as a dark moment of supervillain self-empowerment. Notice the public reaction is one of confusion and puzzlement. We in the public are offended, but that has no effect on Kevin Spacey. Instead, he blossoms. We are taken off guard, our status as moral arbiters shaken and it provokes discussion as to what is going on, when in fact the punishment, if Spacey were to be found guilty, should be swift and severe. Instead, the mob withdraws to laugh, to chat about it, to wonder what is happening. We can't help but admire the audacity of it, the sheer insanity of the situation.

This is a supervillain victory. Supervillains have milestone moments too, and unfortunately, everyone identifies with this because the Internet peddles motivation, ego-boosting formulas, and self-improvement, beyond what is right and wrong. This reveals how social media can be turned upside down, to invert values, to appeal with negativity, to charm with revulsion. Spacey comes into his own as a supervillain, extending his bat wings and letting his scales breathe for the first time. As I stated in my previous post, Spacey's new theatre is the public space in virtual reality.

The message is, as Double Toasted host Martin Thomas states, akin to that of the Watchmen's Rorschach: I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me. Social media platforms are one big prison, and we're locked in with the celebrity lunatic who can, with one tweak of the atmosphere, unhinge us all. Double Toasted's Korey Goodwin stated: "I've never had somebody aggressively act at me."
