Californication - or Zombification - Of America & The World
Tyranny Is Simply Tyranny No Matter What Fancy Terms We Use
Forward:
The above quote is by one of our American presidents - Theodore Roosevelt - and tells us a great deal about the rather crude mindset of the leaders we elect.
Plenty of bravado, male grandstanding and rather ignorant speech in this statement.
Of course many of our worst presidents have gaslighted us and schmoozed us with very pretty and eloquent worlds - while disguising their abundant inner crudeness.
There have been many leaders in this world who would qualify as sociopaths or worse - and most have had more than a shade of malignant narcissism. grandstanding and gaslighting tendencies.
This post is about these leaders - whose personality types have not changed much over time.
Very similar types of people assume the very top of the dominance hierarchies of our civilizations - and the truth is they are hardly those who follow the Golden Rule - or any teaching of spiritual teachers such as Jesus.
And if we as a people elect or select or allow leaders like this to represent us then we may hardly be said to be following the Golden Rule either - as what is done in our names is done either with our sacred honor or with the lack of such.
In other words, the leaders we select have been put there on our watch and continue to rest on their laurels there at our expense.
Allowing this to be is - whether we like it or not - a reflection of our own consciousness.
It is our own consciousness and our own willingness to assume our rightful place as individuals who either do - or do not - take responsibility for what happens in our societies.
Passing the buck to another person other than ourselves is less than disingenuous and at any rate has not worked in the past and will not work in any magical future we may envision.
And now all of our societies all over the world are falling all at once to what is known variously as Cultural Marxism and/or Techno-Fuedalism - or the other smorgasbord of terms flying around - such as White Rural Rage.
But what this change is not is a resurgence of moves toward Democracy, Freedom or the celebration of our individuality as the unalienable rights conferred by our creator and spoken of in the Declaration of Independence.
The proper term to use is tyranny - a term which avoids all the political identifications and unreliable symbolism attached to many of the other terms.
Tyranny - by any name - is simply tyranny - and this is tyranny.
By the time tyranny takes over the governments, corporations, institutions and the hearts and minds of the world there is little more to write home about - and no home left to write home to if we did have something to say.
We are watching a process very similar to the mass movements of the 20th century in which large groups of humans were convinced to adapt really insane states of mind - and associated behaviors - in order to create social change.
And create social change they did - change which wiped out untold millions of fellow humans and destroyed more worthwhile and beneficial human pursuits than we can possibly imagine.
Imagine a literal hell on earth - a hell which obliterates any sense of that Garden of Eden or - any paradise on Earth we could envision.
There is an identifiable reason why we cannot achieve Heaven on earth - but end up instead with a version of hell on earth.
And it has much to do with our failures to act as Jesus taught - and nothing at all to do with the magical - but wrongheaded - thinking involved in the biblical Garden of Eden myth.
We are being led now by people who believe that grab them by the balls and their hearts and minds will follow is absolutely true.
They have zero regard for their own - or our - humanity and rely on absolute power to serve as their present and final reward.
That they - and not we - are deserving of owning and operating the world according to their wishes - with no consideration for ours.
It might be regarded in current parlance as the Californication of the world.
These changes and the steady erosion by tyranny cannot help but infect our educational institutions, churches, and all government and corporate behavior.
Several famous authors wrote guidebooks to this kind of social change - among them George Orwell and Machiavelli - serving a manuals which could be rewritten simpler language to serve as Complete Dummies Guides to how to Rule The World.
Machiavelli is perhaps the most compelling of ancient times as the Florentine culture carried - way back then - all the seeds of destruction necessary to insure our current demise.
There were plenty of fatal seeds of destruction present in these times in Italy which would lead directly to our current civilization collapse and destruction but it took a Machiavelli to describe these terrible tendencies our leaders have to manipulate us all.
Machiavelli is a veritable guidebook to the methods of manipulating one’s way to power through gaslighting and deception.
George Orwell is best seller during these times as he succinctly describes precisely what is happening in modern civilizational collapse.
Combine both Machiavelli and Orwell and we have a short course - an every man’s way of understanding civilizational hierarchical power structures.
Once we see and understood how this works we can look back into civilizational history and see the manipulative gaslighting in play from some many millennia in the past right up to the present.
Of course most people don’t want to work that hard and will always miss the boat by posing simplistic knee jerk solutions which have never - and will never - work.
And a little short which demonstrates the ability of we citizens to swallow a load of unadulterated gaslit nonsense from sociopathic, pedophilic, serially manipulative, toxic narcissists.
To go beyond the superficial nonsense we are sold as a means to change - I suggest going far deeper into personal reflection to actual real world situations to see if we and the people we love actually understand and follow such teachings as the golden rule.
One of the very best vehicles for perceiving how our cultural overlords gaslight us into believing the most diabolical ideas in service of our nation states - a state these overlords never tire of manipulating us into so we serve as their servile followers - are films capable of pointing out.
A Passage to India - the fine book by E.M. Forster - or the fine film linked below - is capable of pointing out this kind of hypocrisy.
A few others which may lead to understanding a more realistic view of history - over and above the brand sold to us by the victors.
But by far the best in catching a more truthful glimpse of more truthful American - or Colonialist - or World history might be offered by the following.
It is telling that often the figures we most admire in the history books are the Generals — the great military minds and warriors who follow the dictum - “Grab them by the balls and their hearts and minds will follow” - a behavior so clearly a violation of the teachings of Jesus - that is is almost comical.
For those who are wondering where this will end it will end with the overlords deciding to do what they have already spoken about and simply get rid of those who they call “useless eaters”.
This is already being done and many of us here as SubStack readers already are familiar with the ongoing genocide they have initiated.
Anyone remaining alive will be kept track of in the smart or 15-minute cities and allowed perhaps to serve the needs of the remaining oligarchs.

The United States may have a population of 333 million living and breathing bodies, but I fear its population of citizens is more like 5 million, or less.
