Third Paradigm

Explains: why he who laughs first loses; why women find funny guys attractive but men like women who laugh; the difference between mean funny and meme funny; how ridicule and the clever put-down are coin of the internet realm; cultural appropriation and the virtue signaling vice squad joy police; and why being really funny often correlates with being a little bit broken.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. —Lucius Annaeus Seneca In this episode, I’ll ask if Judeo-Christian scriptures are a 2000 yr psyops by and for empire. I'll look at why that question matters and why religion vs. no religion is a false dichotomy. And I’ll end with a conversation with a Hasidic Rabbi regarding Hebrew scriptures.

As world events spin out of control, I suggest we slow down. The faster we run, the further the goal moves away. I tell a story about nick-of-time miracles and permaculture spirituality. I look at empire vs. sovereignty and means vs. ends. I compare time to a hamster wheel. As things spin into control, I suggest we bide our time while spirit does the heavy lifting.

I start with Chris Hedges on Israel and examine stories from the Torah/ OT on younger sons usurping the inheritance through trickery and deceit, from Cain & Seth to Ishmael & Isaac to Esau & Jacob. Rabbinical Judaism in 70 CE sides with the Roman Empire against the anti-imperial rebels, and Josephus sees Africa and Egypt as the descendants of Ham, destined to be slaves. I cite a little-known documentary called The 13 Sugar Colonies and quote from the Talmud on what is permissible.

How would you write the rules for who owns the land? Israel and Palestine bring up the thorny question of whether possession is ownership. To answer that, I describe the rules for sharing from my daycare provider. Everything you need to know, you learned in kindergarten! I look at how indigenous rights are being weaponized and why reparations simply pass slavery on to a new generation.

Natalie Wynn of Contrapoints has a video called Envy looking at its relationship to lockdown virtue-signaling using examples from Squidward to Amadeus. I apply it to the cancelling of Russell Brand and embed an early video of mine responding to Russell's interviews of Jonathan Haidt and Darren Brown. I ask what's your go-to deadly sin and confess mine as envy. I use the hamsa, the eye in the hand, to show how we could ward off the evil eye by turning away negativity both within ourselves and against others--especially towards those on the other side of the political divide. I outline the "four dogma and one suspicion" that Russell and I share: 1) all people are equally good 2) when people behave badly, systems are to blame 3) systems can be changed 4) all communities are equally capable of self-governance and 5) entertaining the possibility that we are One Mind. I discuss a study that Darren quotes from Jonathan's book, The Righteous Mind. Jonathan quotes from William Gibson that the Matrix is our consensual hallucination and I express the hope that we can make it a good hallucination by seeing the best intentions in each other.

I look first at Mathew Crawford's evidence that Leigh is a CIA agitator, inciting chaos and violence to discredit the Trucker Convoy and lure patsies into J6. Then I examine his dirt on Russell with rape and pedophile jokes, Kundalini sex cults, and a thing for Madonna wannabes. Guess which of these people I'd let babysit my kids?

I analyze Yuval Noah Harari's "This is a War on the Mind & Soul" and compare two older Jordan Peterson interviews of Benjamin Netanyahu in "Whose Land is It Anyway?" and Maajid Narwaz's response to it. I also list over a dozen recent articles that counter the recent propaganda. All of these are provided with links, text and comment threads on https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/.

Looks at Israel's attack on Palestine through the lens of Vanessa Beeley, Mnar Adley, Daniel McAdams, Ramzy Baroud and James Corbett. Delves into two videos by Max Igan on Israeli False Flag and The Truth about Balfour's Time Bomb. Asks whether this spells the end, not of Palestine, but of Israel.

I review Middle Nation on The Global South is Pro-Palestinian, David Rovics on the Gaza Ghetto Uprising, Russell Brand on Congress war profiteering, and Max Blumenthal on debunking the beheaded babies. I conclude that we don't know how this will end.

I examine events in Israel using the research of Vanessa Beeley, David Icke and Max Igan, asking whether this is a trap or a jailbreak. I find RFK predictably disappointing. I explore a connection between the Russell Brand media assault and his critique of Israel back in 2009. I conclude that we are all Palestine.

I describe the connection between the current floods and the shambles left by the coup against Qaddafi. Reading Ch. 9 of my book, How to Dismantle an Empire, I explain the connections between petrodollar hegemony, the CFA franc, the BIS & IMF, and interventions in Iraq, Libya and the Cote d'Ivoire.

It's coming up on one year of my Robert Malone awakening. I give an update on his lawsuit against the Breggins and analyze Tucker Carlson's interview of Mattias Desmet that launched the controversy. Malone's quip that the 1930's Germans went 'barking mad' is given context. I look at the stories like Lord of the Flies that tell us human nature is vicious without authority to keep it in check. And I examine intergenerational trauma passed on through myth.

Nothing says Christmas like conspiracy research! In this episode, I examine Joe Atwill's book, Caesar's Messiah: the Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus. I talk about my initial rejection of the concept, only to find that every Bible scholar I read confirmed it, without any idea that they were. Naomi Wolf's post, A Walt Whitman Poem for Christmas Day is subtitled Must We Really Stand Up for the Truth? From it, I distill the inherent dogmas of superiority that she isn't willing to question: Christianity, Judaism, America, academia and artists. With admiration for Naomi, I talk about why our unexamined dogmas make us vulnerable to manipulation. My book, How to Dismantle an Empire, begins by looking at democracy and money as the foundational psy-ops of Western civilization and this episode adds the third pillar of Judeo-Christianity.

I observe that weather weapons have targeted rebellious 'colonies' especially against the banking empire. One of these is Greece, hit with both fire and floods. I read Ch. 8 Greece Lightning from my book, How to Dismantle an Empire, talking about the sado-monetarism and savage austerity of the EU troika.

The controversy continues over Russell Brand & YNH: was Russell fooled or is he part of the plot? I analyze an interview Yuval did with Daniel Soylesisi on superfluous people, medicine as body upgrades, drugs and computer games for the masses, the degradation of family and happiness, and the market as a replacement for "the intimate community." I have to wonder if Yuval is a 'truth double agent' because his warning is so clear. I end with a plan to send the oligarchs into space in Elon Musk's 'cockrocket' so they can get their food from a lab and live forever while all us superfluous people can live our short, brutish lives on the land.

How is conflict between couples and war between nations the same and different? In a talk on polarization, Esther and Yuval discuss fighting and make up sex, Israel and Palestine, Russia and Ukraine, and small democracies. I find agreement with both in surprising areas while pointing out the logical fallacy that there is no right or wrong.

To conclude my series on Harari, I analyze his 2018 talk for Penguin Books moderated by Russell Brand, called The Future of Work. Rather than selling us the Great Reset, he seems to be warning us against it and using provocative terms like 'useless class' to mobilize us into taking control of our lives and communities.

'Connectualizes' Russell Brand's interviews of six atheists: Yuval, Yannis Varoufakis, Bret Weinstein, Heather Heying & Edward Snowden, with four theists: Iain McGilchrist, Alister McGrath, Ben Shapiro & Sadhguru. Looks at moral superiority as a more important dividing line than religion. Quotes Yuval in saying that money is the most successful story ever told, and Yannis that democracy is a fig leaf for oligarchy. Explains the 'truthish lies & legal fictions' of nations, corporations & money as stories that normalize both physical and economic violence.

In Russell Brand's interview, Yuval looks at nations as spells cast by legal shaman. I answer that we need economic witches to take back the commons. I look at how nations prevent people from feeding themselves in India and profit from climate change at the COPs. Yuval states that nations make us care about the stranger but I find Israel negates that point. I imagine California breaking into 4 Swedens or 100 Icelands to be a manageable size for matrix government. Nuclear disaster, climate change, and runaway technology can all have small solutions more effective than the patriarchal pyramid of power.

I examine three videos: Larry King interviewing Russell, The Downfall of Russell Brand: Selling Out Palestine by Kavernacle and Can We Trust Russell Brand? by Deep Thought. In the first I look at sexuality, in the second at right wing grifters and in the third at the clues that Russell is part of the Illuminati.

The documentary Out of Shadows has been pulled from YT at the same time as Russell Brand. I examine the evidence of stunt actors Mike Smith and Brad Martin, CIA whistleblower Kevin Shipp and journalist Liz Crokin who broke Pizzagate--not at all what I thought it was! I also look at Madonna's Satanic ritual for Eurovision and Shepard Fairley's OBEY Giant for signaling. And I ask if Katy Perry was Russell's honeypot to become queen and king of the underworld ... and if he's being targeted for walking away.

A good news story of my neighbor reunited with the daughter she hadn't seen in 11 yrs since she and her brother were kidnapped by the abusive dad. As she was flown home, I was at the courthouse getting the case file on the crooked lawyer and mother-hating judge who enabled custody to be taken from a mom who didn't know where they were.

I look at the allegations and impact of the Me3 smear campaign launched against Russell Brand. I've done 40+ videos responding to Russell's Under the Skin interviews. I explain the hypocrisy of the MeToo Psyops and what ‘believing the women’ could look like based on my recent episodes. I give a synopsis of other MeToo takedowns with Julian Assange, Mario Cuomo and Dominique Strauss-Kahn. And I end with my prediction for Russell 4.0 and why it’s a parable for all of us.
