Elon’s just another guy. He slipped into a fast moving stream and rode the wave at the right time. That was his smartest move to date. Except for the US Defense contracts, his companies all lose money. But that’s nothing new in the Tech industry.

Sci-fi readers already know where this is going: Musk is thinking about building a mass driver, which is essentially a coilgun for launching payloads instead of deadly projectiles. Paired with the lunar facility, Musk views it as a necessary step in building out computing power for his AI empire, which must not be bound by the finitude of terrestrial real estate.

“You have to go to the Moon,” Musk said at an all-hands meeting, per the NYT.  “It’s difficult to imagine what an intelligence of that scale would think about, but it’s going to be incredibly exciting to see it happen,”

The Cosmos, Varley – by Desmond Grundy

Posted on by

I wrote this last week in response to a local columnist who, without provocation tried to shame some friends of mine. It grew into a bigger story when I added the context. It grew even bigger when I wrote that actual letter to the editor (not included here.)

editorial response to the zombie apologia

Date: 2023-05-04, 16:45 p.m.

Dear Mr. Varley,

In response to your reporting and editorial in the April 27 2023, edition of the Uxbridge Cosmos, page 5 “Am I Wrong?” The Uxbridge Cosmos -2023/04/27 , I respectfully offer the following:

You could not be more wrong with your recent statements regarding 15-minute cities, climate change and Digital ID. I appreciate that you are writing from a journalist’s POV and that your goal is to incite discussion and eschew any kind of dogmatic thinking. Certainly, many in the Truther movement go way over the top in their assertions about the past and future of civilization. But let’s look at the facts on the ground and do it from a historical perspective.

Introduction

In 1913 the Federal Reserve Bank was created (FRB) in the United States. The FRB is neither Federal nor does it hold any reserves. The FRB is at the top of the banking food chain and is the nexus point joining all Central Banks globally into one entity, managed ostensibly by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) located in Switzerland. The FRB is a private enterprise. The FRB introduced fractional reserve banking on a global scale and now all banks operate and stay afloat using this same banking “card trick”. Fractional reserve is exactly as the name denotes: when a bank loans out a thousand dollars with the stroke of a pen (the borrower’s signature) the bank is instantly reimbursed for the loan 10 times over. So, that thousand dollars the borrower receives instantly enables the bank to trade with an extra nine thousand dollars (which it dutifully plows into the economy). In reality the borrower’s loan is paid off at the same time. The initial thousand dollars operates as collateral for the loan and the bank can do whatever it wants with the remainder (the larger fraction); usually through purchases of stocks and bonds which further support the government that props up the bank through extensive money printing, all while collecting interest on the loan. The borrower never realizes that their loan was instantly paid off through the fractional reserve “card trick” and that all the bank really wants is the interest. This means that money created out of thin air is repaid with money generated through hard work and the integrity of the borrower -providing real, honest value.

I start with explaining fractional reserve banking to illustrate how the banks have become as rich and powerful as they are; and how they use their special position within the economy to manipulate the public and fund projects and entities that have nothing to do with the public’s well-being or common interest. They operate for their own monetary gain (see WW1 and WWW2). Look at taxation, both for property and income. The banks are able to foreclose on homes and families, shutdown business, steer the economy to match their goals and do all of this with impunity as they are fully supported by their governments and the banking charter. This Ponzi scheme came crashing down the first time in 1929 with the Great Depression and the scheme was writ large after the Second World War. All wars are banker’s wars. After the war, with most of the planet in a shamble it was determined that an agency would be setup to rebuild. This endeavour was ratified and is known today as the Bretton-Woods Accord. This accord created the United Nations (used to be the League of Nations), the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the BIS. It was their job to allocate funds to countries in need worldwide for the reconstruction. This never happened. Instead, these agencies, in league with the owners of the FRB and others, used the money to create other agencies whose goal was to steer the world towards providing governments with tools to enable them to have more control of their specific populations. JFK was assassinated (1962) for exposing the FRB’s nasty schemes and for vowing to shatter the CIA and other similar agencies into “a thousand tiny pieces”. That’s how powerful the banks are and that’s only one example. This trend continues today. Look at Trudeau: he has more scandals in his name than I can list here and he has, so far, got away with it. Perhaps taking money from the Chinese will be his downfall, but we’ll see.

15-Minute Cities

Without any justification in fact, governments worldwide want to restrict the public’s freedom of movement, supposedly to reduce carbon emission and reduce strain on the environment. This is a Straw Man argument using techniques of the Hegelian Dialectic (create a problem, provide the solution) to support and justify their actions against the populace for their own individual or party gain. The best example here in Ontario of this dialectic is our Healthcare system. First, create the problem. For instance, fire healthcare professionals who don’t follow orders (i.e. take unwanted inoculations) or who invest in alternative healing methods (regulate them out of business), or use public funds ear-marked for healthcare in other ways that do not support the healthcare system, thereby reducing the number of caregivers as a result. Now we have a problem. What’s the solution? When enough people are suffering from lack of public health care, which they voted for and supported with their tax dollars, they will demand a solution. Enter private health care.

The same can be said for 15-minute cities: create a problem out of nothing (convince people through the media that humans are causing excess CO2 emissions). Provide the solution: reduce the ability to travel freely. Look further into the rules for this scheme and you will find that you will be limited in your ability to leave your 15-minute city zone, even for work. You will be allowed only so many departures from your zone and then you will be fined and/or worse. This is about population control and has nothing to do with benefiting the common good or the environment. The autocratic reactions to a “pandemic” obliterated many small businesses, the driving engine of most nations’ economies, and this reduced the number of available jobs.  This new “problem” was accomplished for the “common good” by individual governments. The solution: Universal Basic Income.  All of these initiatives are employed in lockstep, mostly worldwide, to achieve an arbitrary set of goals established by an un-elected group of oligarchs who dictate to national governments and who are paid handsomely for their service. Trudeau is now worth over $350M and that money came from where, exactly? These are facts; not hearsay.

Climate Change

The public are being attacked and barraged daily with fear mongering of the “climate change” hoax. It’s very easy to see through this “trick”. They don’t come after the large corporations unlawfully dumping sewage, or extracting huge volumes of fresh water that compromises the water table. They instead come after the public and say the public needs to change their behaviour to mitigate the harmful effects of climate change. This is absolute BS. No one can outrun the Sun. The sun controls the Earth’s climate. The climate hoax is also all about controlling people’s activities: “you will own nothing and you will be happy.” I am not going to provide links to all of the editorial by real climate scientists who are fighting back against this hoax, thousands of them; you can find them yourself (but act quick as they are removing truth at an alarming rate from the internet). That material is thick on the ground. Change is inevitable. Mitigating change is just another money-making and control enabling opportunity for big business in concert with a corrupt government who are bought and paid for by an un-elected group of oligarchs.

Digital ID

Without Digital ID there can be no cashless society or social credit system. Without a cashless society government control of the population can’t be fully established. The real aim of digital ID is a cashless society. Yes, digital ID will enable governments to track your every move and every purchase and if you don’t behave, you’re ID will be shelved (look at China. If a citizen’s social credit score isn’t sufficient, they cannot buy groceries or travel or even seek medical attention). This is a fact. This is happening right now. No conspiracy here. Providing a government, whose sole job used to be working for the “common good”, with enough power through digital ID to thwart our naturally endowed freedoms (refer to the Magna Carta of 1215, the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, 1787) will spell the end of all the good things that humanity brings to the planet: creativity, compassion, justice, etc. and all will be dictated by a few at the very top. A cashless society means the public no longer has the opportunity for autonomous living. Every digital dollar will be tracked. A cashless society ends the notion of personal value storage and personal autonomy. An enormous black market will be created and more division between people assured, leading to more death and suffering. At that point everyone’s intrinsic value will be pooled with everyone else’s and those in charge will get the benefit of all this value with nothing but rules and guidelines as payment for service. Democracy for the few at the top; socialism for the rest of us.

Conclusions

Governments, using the banks as their lackeys, want control of all money and would rather the public not have any discretion with its use (see taxation without representation). Why would this happen: greed mostly, playing on the unsuspecting but supportive individual to get the state’s wishes met through basic coercion. You just have to look at rising taxes and regulations and fines within the Admiralty Law system (as opposed to Common Law) to see this is the case and has been since time immemorial. In fact, technology has come so far that the ability to have programmable money now exists. As with taxation, a cashless society may be thrust upon us by fiat and it will be up to the courts to set things right again should the people not rise up and stop it first. These leaders we have are only human. They have been selected because they do as they’re told. Often, they have made mistakes in judgement in the past that others can exploit in the form of blackmail. We don’t have leaders with original ideas that they are prepared to move heaven and earth to realize. The good people of this planet have been inundated with unnecessary restrictions on their livelihoods for so long that they believe it’s normal for someone to assert there are more than two genders, that you will own nothing and be happy, that taxation isn’t theft, that children can be educated anyway the government sees fit in order to realize their goals and not the goals of their constituents. 15-minute cities, the climate change hoax and digital ID are agendas to reduce world population. The world’s elite/cult members are tired of the public. They are tired of their needs, wants and desires for a better life for their children and themselves. These “elites” are the bottom feeders who rose to the top of world power through coercion, falsehood and theft. It is naïve, with all the evidence available, to go through this life still wearing the blinders that our parents passed down to us (not their fault; they were brainwashed by Tell-A-Vision, as I once was). The system is broken and people need to wake up before they are forced into a box that allows for no light, or basic humanity to shine through. Our leaders, especially here in Canada, are without a moral compass and they don’t care.

I read your editorial in the paper with rapt attention as I have followed your column since 2006 when my family moved to this area. At that time, I made contact with an organization who had consultative status within the UN. Through this connection I was able to learn about the levers and gears of global politics and economics. My first lesson learned: nothing is as it is portrayed to the tax-paying public and there are many hidden agendas. Second: these powers-that-be have nothing but rhetoric and their paid army of enforcers to keep them in power. Just as with the value of money, the only thing keeping them in power is the confidence the public puts in the their leadership. Once that’s gone, leaders are going to have a big problem and that scenario is appearing on the horizon fast. They have no ideas of their own. They are but users.

I have distributed your editorial and this response to my global list of contacts for their input. You may receive some feedback from them, too. If you should respond publicly to this letter, I encourage you not to make a mockery of my statements as you tried to do with those you mentioned in your other piece.

And, just to keep the record straight, “a woman named Tish Conlin who claims to be the People’s Party of Canada candidate in the Durham Riding in the next Federal Election”. Patricia Conlin took on Erin O’Toole for the Conservative vote in Durham and took upwards of 6.0% of the vote.

Also, “It’s up to all of us to do a little research and challenge these banshees”. Ad hominem attacks without providing any verifiable research on the targets, I believe is hitting below the belt and further weakens your argument.

Thank you for the time you have taken to read this. I appreciate your efforts as an astute observer of the difference between right and wrong. At this point, in my and many others’ judgement, you are participating in a master class of wrong.

See ya’ ‘round town.

“Don’t lies eventually lead to the truth? And don’t all my stories, true or false, tend toward the same conclusion? Don’t they all have the same meaning? So what does it matter whether they are true or false if, in both cases, they are significant of what I have been and what I am? Sometimes it is easier to see clearly into the liar than into the man who tells the truth. Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.” Albert Camus, The Fall

“They Had Me At Gunpoint”: Hertz Customers Keep Getting Arrested For Driving “Stolen” Cars | Zero Hedge

This happened to me with U-Haul. It’s a real thing. It’s a weird thing. Yep, we were driving up Sherman avenue in Hamilton and I noticed two cruisers behind me. It was a one-way street at this point that I was turning onto. I got kind of flustered as I wasn’t sure I could make the turn on a red light, so I waited. I think that’s the moment they thought they’d do me. I turned, they followed. I went past the first light and next thing I know a cruiser is beside me and one is behind me. They arrested me, cuffs and bucket seat in the cruiser for about 30 minutes when they finally let us go. I could go on…

What is your place now? A cubicle in the marketing department of Old Navy? An aisle in the Home Depot? A desk in the Diversity and Inclusion office of some State University, pushing to sort the student population into racial and sexual categories because all other ways of belonging in society are gone? Or do you occupy ten square feet of sidewalk with a tarp and a shopping cart? None of those places are liable to furnish a personal sense that life is worth living.

Those of you out there still sincerely clamoring for “change” might start asking yourselves if you have a clue about finding a place worth caring about in this country and what it might actually take to get there, including the revision of a lot of ideas in your head that you take for granted. Hint: if you’re looking for it in the current political leadership you are probably wasting your time and energy. If you’re looking for it in some group identity, you may not ever discover the power in your own individual ability to make choices for yourself.
