KeymasterThere is no honesty K. The ugly China meme is all over again and Trump just amplified it. It is like an amoeba – the whole discussion space changes instantly as most are scared to speak against anything. They say what they feel will not get them into trouble.
KeymasterI went to look and Elon is pushing very hard. He looks like a regime changer. MEGA and AfD and the new leader will follow a Trumpian 100 days and get all the migrants out and close Germany’s borders and so on. And in between, it is the UK that he is pushing, but not a specific person yet .. just the concept … Lots of hate-mongering and amplification of the ‘other’ as hate worthy.
KeymasterMusk is building Hitlerian circumstances – the G7 (Canada is now the stepchild momentarily) are strengthening themselves in a populist witchery – they want to refight the war, but this time with Germany on their side and perhaps not a kinetic war, but a technological war. Don’t know if many see that, but this is the reason that Karaganov says .. Break their Backs.
This is a pure AI development of that movie.
The unseen part of maga is a psychological war drive – something fierce. Musk is into the UK as well.
You know when last I’ve seen stuff like this? When Steve Bannon collected the Christian right in Brazil .. same type of populism.
KeymasterIts been a tough 24 hours! I received the email that we are up already last evening in my night at around 11pm, but I was dead asleep .. only to wake up to a live site this morning at 3am. PHEW! – what a relief. I only expected it here by 5am.
KeymasterCuba has given notice for that lease of land so many times. They have not even cashed any check for payment since the 1950’s.
Here is an easy readthrough (OK Cuba side)

KeymasterThat was truly a shock in the center of the belly. It really tells the story as well. It is horrible!

January 26, 2025 at 15:37 in reply to: A book that I promised – Being conscious of consciousness #50887KeymasterI asked DeepSeek (R1) to get some more definitions. I gave the paragraphs on consciousness earlier in the thread.
This is the reply.
Harold Percival’s Thinking and Destiny explores profound metaphysical concepts, including the nature of awareness. While I cannot directly quote the text verbatim, here’s a synthesis of how Percival’s philosophy addresses “awareness of being aware,” based on known themes from his work:
Key Points on “Awareness of Being Aware”:
Triune Self Framework:
Percival describes human existence through the “Triune Self” (Knower, Thinker, Doer). The Knower represents pure, undifferentiated awareness—the aspect that is conscious of existing and aware of its own awareness. This meta-awareness transcends ordinary thought or sensory experience.
Self-Reflective Consciousness:
“Awareness of being aware” is not mere consciousness of external objects but a higher state of recognizing oneself as the source of awareness. It is foundational to realizing one’s true nature as part of the immortal Triune Self.
Beyond Thought and Senses:
Percival distinguishes this awareness from passive perception or thinking. It is an active, intentional state where the self observes its own existence without attachment to physical or mental phenomena.
Path to Enlightenment:
Cultivating this awareness is central to spiritual growth in Percival’s system. It allows individuals to align with their “Real Self,” beyond the transient ego or body.
Relevant Sections in Thinking and Destiny:
Chapters on “The Triune Self” (likely Chapters 5–8) delve into the structure of consciousness.
“The Law of Thought” (Chapter 20+) discusses how transcending ordinary thought leads to true self-awareness.
Look for discussions on “Consciousness” versus “Awareness,” where Percival may delineate their roles.Suggested Action:
To locate the exact definition, search the text (available online) for phrases like “awareness of being aware,” “Knower,” or “self-consciousness.” Percival’s dense prose requires careful reading, as his definitions are often interwoven with broader metaphysical arguments.
Aware is of course a present tense thing and awareness is the state of being aware.
KeymasterBrian Berletic has this to say on the military on the border. Some of Trump’s stuff is dead serious, others are just stunts:
Trump Repeats 2018 Troop Border Stunt – Supporters Buy it Again…
Trump directs multi-million dollar photo op designed to convince Americans “security” is being established at the border.
This is only 500 Marines whose sole purpose is to conduct a public relations stunt using Osprey aircraft that buses and trucks easily and more economically – but less dramatically – could have performed if more personnel were actually required.
What exactly will 500 Marines sitting out in the open with combat load outs do to secure a 2,000 mile long border?
No one thought about that, just saw US troops and thought, “promise made, promise kept!”
Back in reality, Trump ran on border security before his FIRST term in office and in 2018 deployed 5,200 troops to the border which categorically failed to solve illegal immigration.
As Americans are duped by tax-dollar-burning PR stunts (again), Trump will continue where Biden left off sanctioning and undermining Latin American nations, maintaining the pressure on and flow of people out of their destabilized homes to America where special interests Trump and Biden serve exploit for cheap labor and as a wedge issue to divide and distract Americans.
… and then he has some numbers about the previous time .. And for those trying to argue Trump’s first troop deployment in 2018 “worked,” no it didn’t.
Illegal immigration increased.
If you zoom out you realize it goes up and down no matter who is in office and no matter what they pretend to do.
It’s driven by US foreign policy abroad as it deliberately burns the world down and leaves people nowhere else to go. That is the problem.
That is what needs to be fixed. Troops on the border is a stunt to distract you away from this reality.
He has this chart .. https://t.me/brianlovethailand/3651
KeymasterSmoothie just made such a joke – I sputtered. He is of course commenting on Trump saying that Russia stole the plans for hypersonic missiles. Smoothies voice goes higher and higher and eventually he says deadpan: So Mr Trump will tell us that Jesus came from the United States … Excellent!
Apocalyptic I tell you! From Jeff Brown
Since then, I learned this. I think the whole world is being laughed at,

Maybe once, maybe twice, but three times and your are outted!
KeymasterWe will know in the next 24 hours whether the Government of National Unity will take the government down. Zulus are with the turn-around of expropriation without compensation. More and more people are in a tizzy!
KeymasterSouth Africa is in a mess again. Just after the end of the WEF meet, Cyril Ramaphosa signed emminent domain. South Africa’s President, Cyril Ramaphosa, has signed the Expropriation Bill into law. This legislation permits land expropriation without compensation if it is considered to serve the public interest or a public purpose. So, that is not a legal definition and the court cases and threats against the government are piling up. I think this may just kick ’em into a decent system of socialism that people can understand and de-couples from the USSR brutalities which is still the view there. The one fellow actually posted a piece from China .. Very short and really cute.

I forgot to say, this is in a time where Zimbabwe has to pay millions for their expropriation scheme — years ago, here in the early 2000’s, and this is getting to courts now. The government has to pay.
KeymasterYes .. they are very similar to the Jewish Kapos in the 2nd World War, who actually ran the concentration camps on behalf of the Germans. Same old story. These Kapos were known to be much more brutal than even the Nazi camp overseers. It’s not even collusion – they are paid by the zionists.
I don’t know what Stockholm Syndrome is on a mass scale – when the victim identifies with the captors.
KeymasterYou know, I did not even post that up and perhaps AHH missed it or something. Usually both of us together catch them. Time is so speeding up .. I long for the days when we were civil and Pepe actually let me know when he had something out – Now, yikes – it’s catch as catch can. The thing is, Danny should quit advertising doubleheaders, and then it is 2 in sequence. I listened to this one and when it was Pepe’s turn, I felt such a sense of relief after Ritter. I’ll post it tomorrow because my today is over and done with, crisp, toast. Thanks emersonreturn!
Goodnight all!
