You see I shook hands with the new world order now under the Billing of The rules-based International Order and to my initial surprise when I counted my fingers I thought I could hold up four but found that some of them were missing.
It is an odd thing, I got to wondering if was I being Gasslit.

Gaslit, what is gas-lit "gaslighting" you might ask, what could I possibly be getting at?
Let's start with Oligarchical Collectivism.
The term “oligarchical collectivism” refers not only to the ideology of the Party Ingsoc (English Socialism) but also to the ideologies of the other two states (Neo-Bolshevism in Eurasia; in Eastasia, “Death Worship” or “Obliteration of the Self”). Winston reads two long excerpts establishing[2] how the three totalitarian super-states – Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia – emerged from a global war, thus connecting the past and the present, and explains the basic political philosophy of the totalitarianism that derived from the authoritarian political tendencies manifested in the twentieth century. That the three “opposing” ideologies are functionally identical is central to the revelations of The Book.
"But by the fourth decade of the twentieth century, all the main currents of political thought were authoritarian. The earthly paradise had been discredited at exactly the moment when it became realizable. Every new political theory, by whatever name it called itself, led back to hierarchy and regimentation. And in the general hardening of outlook that set in around about 1930, practices which had been long abandoned, in some cases for hundreds of years — imprisonment without trial, the use of war prisoners as slaves, public executions, torture to extract confessions, the use of hostages, and the deportation of whole populations-not only became common again, but were tolerated and even defended by people who considered themselves enlightened and progressive."
The new aristocracy was made up for the most part of bureaucrats, scientists, technicians, trade union organizers, publicity experts, sociologists, teachers, journalists, and professional politicians. These people, whose origins lay in the salaried middle class and the upper grades of the working class, had been shaped and brought together by the barren world of monopoly industry and centralized government. As compared with their opposite numbers in past ages, they were less avaricious, less tempted by luxury, hungrier for pure power, and, above all, more conscious of what they were doing and more intent on crushing opposition. This last difference was cardinal. By comparison with that existing today, all the tyrannies of the past were half-hearted and inefficient. The ruling groups were always infected to some extent by liberal ideas and were content to leave loose ends everywhere, to regard only the overt act, and to be uninterested in what their subjects were thinking. Even the Catholic Church of the Middle Ages was tolerant by modern standards.
Part of the reason for this was that in the past no government had the power to keep its citizens under constant surveillance. The invention of print, however, made it easier to manipulate public opinion, and the film and the radio carried the process further. With the development of television and the technical advance which made it possible to receive and transmit simultaneously on the same instrument, private life came to an end. Every citizen, or at least every citizen important enough to be worth watching, could be kept for twenty four hours a day under the eyes of the police and in the sound of official propaganda, with all other channels of communication closed. The possibility of enforcing not only complete obedience to the will of the State, but complete uniformity of opinion on all subjects, now existed for the first time.
Wealth and privilege are most easily defended when they are possessed jointly. The so-called ’abolition of private property’ which took place in the middle years of the century meant, in effect, the concentration of property in far fewer hands than before: but with this difference, that the new owners were a group instead of a mass of individuals. Individually, no member of the party owns anything, except petty personal belongings. Collectively, the Party owns everything in Oceania, because it controls everything, and disposes of the products as it thinks fit. In the years following the Revolution, it was able to step into this commanding position almost unopposed, because the whole process was represented as an act of collectivization. It had always been assumed that if the capitalist class were expropriated, Socialism must follow: and unquestionably the capitalists had been expropriated. Factories, mines, land, houses, transport— everything had been taken away from them: and since these things were no longer private property, it followed that they must be public property. Ingsoc, which grew out of the earlier Socialist movement and inherited its phraseology, has in fact carried out the main item in the Socialist programme; with the result, foreseen and intended beforehand, that economic inequality has been made permanent.

Paulo Freire > Quotes > Quotable Quote
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
Oceania has no capital, and its titular head is a person whose whereabouts nobody knows. Except that English is its chief lingua francaand Newspeak its official language, it is not centralized in any way. Its rulers are not held together by blood ties but by adherence to a common. It is true that our society is stratified, and very rigidly stratified, on what at first sight appear to be hereditary lines. There is far less to-and-fro movement between the different groups than happened under capitalism or even in the pre-industrial age. Between the two branches of the Party, there is a certain amount of interchange, but only so much as will ensure that weaklings are excluded from the Inner Party and that ambitious members of the Outer Party are made harmless by allowing them to rise. Proletarians, in practice, are not allowed to graduate into the Party. The most gifted among them, who might possibly become nuclei of discontent, are simply marked down by the Thought Police and eliminated.
we are not mainly sleepwalking into a 1930's 1930s-style debt deflation it would seem we are tel-porting back into a politics of totalitarian fascism, Stalinism, Nazism or Mussolini-style state monopoly capitalism it matters not borrow the best of all three and throw in a bit of nongender binary casting to keep it refreshingly gaslighting on message.
The discontents produced by his bare, unsatisfying life are deliberately turned outwards and dissipated by such devices as the Two Minutes Hate, and the speculations which might possibly induce a sceptical or rebellious attitude are killed in advance by his early acquired innerdiscipline. The first and simplest stage in the discipline, which can be taught even to young children, is called, in Newspeak, crimestop. Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, meansprotective stupidity. But stupidity is not enough. On the contrary, orthodoxy in the full sense demands a control over one’s own mental processes as complete as that of a contortionist over his body. Oceanic society rests ultimately on the belief that Big Brother is omnipotent and that the Party is infallible.
We interrupt this thought crime to bring a message from the two minutes of hate decreed by Big Brother against Russia.
THE CONCEPT OF PUBLIC SECURITY by Efimov Victor Alekseevich
This period can be traced to the origins of the current dominant Euro-American (the Biblical) concepts of management, as well as fundamentally different philosophical views of the priesthood of Holy Russia, and the Egyptian hierarchy of Ra in the earlier period when it was still under the control of the hierarchy of Amun. The last pharaoh carrying the truth of monotheism was Akhenaten (1375-1325 BC.) The priesthood itself has morphed into quackery, adapting existing conceptual knowledge and implementing skills of conceptually powerful control for their own clan’s interests, instead of concern for the public good and constructing the mode for the environment.
Brave New World of #COVIDSTROIKA
Amongst the many things which are claimed to be a misattributed quote that someone is supposed to have said, but it is claimed they never did say is that ” If you want to know who’s really in charge, then find out whom you are not allowed to criticise. my favorite joke of this type is Talking World War 3 blues ” You can be in my dream if I can be in yours ” Bob Dylan said that. And so to the question at hand. The Film above was made in 1994 by my good friend David Malone, I just got off the phone with him in fact, In an interview I did with David when he was running for the leadership of the UK Green party he mentioned this film and also another Icon Earth both of which almost saw him having his p.45 handed to him by Aunty Beeb, where he was a director and producer on the Horizon science program. I found copies of both, one on the Internet Archive and the other on a Russian video site neither is available in the collections of Horizon episodes widely available in my quest I downloaded a full torrent of every Horizon episode ever, and three episodes were missing, The Far Side 30th anniversary, Icon Earth and The Human Laboratory. The Human Laboratory has evaded my efforts over the past five years to dig up a copy. Only one other film, which appeared on Yorkshire TV, has proved anything like as elusive as those three Horizon Episodes and that is Johny Go Home( Now Found and posted here) which I had previously managed to find a partial copy of.
The Farside is divided into 3 parts. Part 1 1964-1974. A decade of hope and faith that science should serve us all. Part 2- 1974-1984 Supposedly a decade of skepticism and pessimism, but were we still willing to be led along by the experts. Part 3. 1984-1994 The third decade saw new technology seemingly renewing the old 60’s promise of a better world for everyone– Has our attitude to such promises changed.
Two Minutes of Hate Ends.
A Party member is expected to have no private emotions and no respites from enthusiasm. He is supposed to live in a continuous frenzy of hatred of foreign enemies and internal traitors, triumphs over victories, and self-abasement before the power and wisdom of the Party. The discontents produced by his bare, unsatisfying life are deliberately turned outwards and dissipated by such devices as the Two Minutes Hate, and the speculations which might possibly induce a sceptical or rebellious attitude are killed in advance by his early acquired innerdiscipline.
The mutability of the past is the central tenet of Ingsoc. Past events, it is argued, have no objective existence, but survive only in written records and inhuman memories. The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon. And since the Party is in full control of all records and in equally full control of the minds of its members, it follows that the past is whatever the Party chooses to make it. It also follows that though the past is alterable, it never has been altered in any specific instance. For when it has been recreated in whatever shape is needed at the moment, then this new version is the past, and no different past can ever have existed. This holds good even when, as often happens, the same event has to be altered out of recognition several times in the course of a year.

The memory hole works both ways, more so now than back then, it’s like the white Queens memory. ( Especially the Always Jam tomorrow part) so here we are this admin question that has cropped up on the Green Party blog partly directed at my habit of preserving conversations before they disappear into the memory hole, especially when one tries to Discuss the very unsettled science of Climatology. Don’t forget to tap the FU keys on the way to Facebook just to be friendly to the NSA X Key Score bots, you understand.

I have always treated this as a closed members-only group – but do you think that things that you say in this Facebook members-only forum, are said ‘in public’ – in the same way that Twitter is an open platform and thus things said there, are said in public?”
No this is a closed Facebook forum for members only

Yes everything on Facebook is on a public forum

What did Spinoza say, I was coming to that.
“Better that right counsels be known to enemies than that the evil secrets of tyrants should be concealed from the citizens. They who can treat secretly of the affairs of a nation have it absolutely under their authority; and as they plot against the enemy in time of war, so do they against the citizens in time of peace.” —Baruch Spinoza
A wayback Facsimile of the Truth
April 5, 2020 The Deagel Dongle?
A FACSIMILE OF TRUTH FROM ROOM 101 TO #5G 101. DIAL M FOR MURDER.#ELECTROCHEMISTRYCOVID19 CORONA VIRUS COVER STORY FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC CONTROL GRID PT2 .
The title, "Room 101," alludes to the infamous torture chamber in George Orwell's dystopian novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four," where individuals are subjected to their worst fears. Whiteread's use of this title suggests that the domestic space can also be a site of confinement and oppression.
A Semiotic Turn Wenzels genuinely fake.
A language of abstract form commemorates brotherhood.
Van Meegran's supper at Emmaus implies Vermeer’s intention for experts to divine. A counterfeit of that which never had been, claimed as real and must be from the brush of the master. A looting tyranny coveting the genuine fakery like so much gold pulled from the mouths of corpses. Like so many rabbits out of so many hats and the goldfish does not know the water it swims in until the surface is broken.
The beauty of dying lilies, the artist petrifies the fleeting moment and time is solidified.A promise solidified in time measured in life and non-existence. Celebrate Les Miserables of L’Argent. Hugo, Zola and Proudhon scream.
A promise wrapped up in a lie claiming existence where no air remains to breathe or, food to sustain. Asking everything for giving nothing. A mountebank by nature, a swindle made official by the state. To enslave the masses and keep them in want.
CONCLUDING PRAYER.
A central lack of fiber. Either moral or physical around which myths of debt are spun. As spiders spin webs and weavers warp clothe. Spartan Ephors of prudence pass judgment on all and stand above and astride the law. Dispensing injustice and taking clothes off the backs of The freezing and food out of the mouths of the hungry. Passing judgement on those who perform real work, asking always for more and demanding to pay less.
So draw the bow of truth with intentness in the eye,
Seek out the irreducible posits, the epistemological gods of homer. If there be one free miracle let the ephors explain the rest. What is this power of usury? Where did this power come from ? Who is it exercised for and to whom do you ephors of usury answer to? And now let me ask. How do we take this power away? Only then we shall see good faith and brotherhood restored to the commons.

I had talked about the cultural differences between England and America—a matter which should always be touched on when an Englishman must teach Americans about cultural anthropology. At the end of the session, one resident came up. He glanced over his shoulder to be sure that the others were all leaving, and then said rather hesitantly, “I want to ask a question.” “Yes.” “It’s— do you want us to learn what you are telling us? ” I hesitated a moment, but he rushed on with, “Or is it all a sort of example, an illustration of something else?” “Yes, indeed! ” But an example of what´?´´.GregoryBateson.

In all matters epistemological and philosophical I demure ultimately to C S Pierce and this made up quote from ´We Pragmatists ´
CHARLES SANDERS PEIRCE: ´´In order toreason well …. it is absolutely necessary to possess … such virtuesas intellectual honesty and sincerity and a real love of truth (2.82). The cause [of the success of scientificinquirers] has been that the motive which has carried them to the laboratory and the field has been a craving toknow how things really were … (1-34).[Genuine inquiry consists I in diligent inquiry into truth for truth’s sake(1.44), … in actually drawing the bow upon truth withintentness in the eye, with energy in the arm (1.235). [When] it is no longer the reasoning which determineswhat the conclusion shall be, but … the conclusion which determines what the reasoning shall be … this is sham reasoning…. The effect of this shamming is that men come to look upon reasoning as mainly decorative…´´. http://web.ncf.ca/ag659/308/Peirce-Rorty-Haack.pdfPierces seminal essay How to make our ideas clear is also a great starting off point for embracing such truth as we might be fortunate enough to encounter in our allotted time on this blue marble suspended in eternity.http://www.peirce.org/writings/p119.html
“Three modes of evolution have thus been brought before us: evolution by fortuitous variation, evolution by mechanical necessity, and evolution by creative love. We may term them tychastic evolution, or tychasm, anancastic evolution, or anancasm, and agapastic evolution, or agapasm. The doctrines which represent these as severally of principal importance we may term tychasticism, anancasticism,and agapasticism. On the other hand the mere propositions that absolute chance, mechanical necessity, and the law of love are severally operative in the cosmos may receive the names of tychism, anancism, and agapism.” — C. S. Peirce, 1893[2]
And finally two poems.

Reality Falsifed.
Reality is à slice of infnity,
Make sure you try a piece.
Plenty to go around
Add seasoning to taste
Incompleteness
Uncertainty
Falsifiability
Theoretically Abstract constructs
Incompleteness and uncertainty Are in the nature of infinity
Falsifiability is in the nature of reality
Subjects of defined limits create reality
One can create or falsify ones own reality
Reality; as objective, subjective or abstract,
Is all an abstract construct relative to subjective limits placed on the infinite continuum.
There are many realities, but Only one infinity
Infinity encompasses all realities
Realities are faceted With infinite perspectives
Prescribed reality is not necessarily evident
