Every so often on social media a post surfaces, “look at how thin everyone was in the fifties/sixties,” what have you. Various explanations follow but the obvious explanation is glaringly absent… everyone used to smoke and smoke a lot.

What’s the first worry when you stop smoking? How much weight you will put on.

The question for someone as paranoid as me then becomes, did the powers that be figure out smoking was doing more good than harm and they could make more money off obese people than thin smokers. Smokers who used cigarettes for positive alteration of mood and staving off hunger pangs and, in later years, dementia and cognitive decline.

With the literal Satanic inversion of reality we see from our rulers I find it believable that the war on smoking is actually to make sure the plebs are sick and profitable for the Medical Industrial Complex. What profits a few years extra life if you’re in a care home with dementia being abused by minimum wage slaves and you’ve spent most of that life on “maintenance” medication for various psychological and obesity related ailments. We all know lifelong dedicated smokers who lived a suspiciously long time but have to shrug that off as anecdotal. Long lived smokers are somewhat of a conundrum for the medical community who advance all sorts of bizarre conspiracy theories as to how this happens.

All medications have a balance of effects that are dose related. Humans self-medicated with tobacco for millennia in some societies. We have seen how everything we are told about “health” has been lies, from dietary recommendations to vaccines and fake vaccines. Doll’s original work on smoking and mortality that kicked everything off showed a much less marked effect on mortality than is claimed today. Doll’s subject group is somewhat suspicious: doctors are famously outliers amongst professional groups in their high level of abuse of drugs for recreational purposes. That’s without considering the absurd nonsense about “second hand” and “third hand” smoke.

The picture on smoking and health is a lot more murky than the claims commonly published if you look into the source data. There is the issue of adulteration of tobacco and the effects of filters which may introduce toxic chemicals and microplastics. The effects of nuclear isotopes in the atmosphere which increased dramatically in the latter part of the C20 and concentrate in the leaves of tobacco plants should be considered.

All we can really say for sure is we know we are being lied to in order to maximize profitability of multi-national corporations. According to google British American Tobacco recorded a 5.7% increase in pretax profit for the first half of 2024. Big Tobacco seems to have been remarkably unscathed by the war on smoking.

The link between cigarette smoking and cancer is pretty shaky from a truly objective scientific perspective, the man who invented the statistical techniques relied on by epidemiology said so himself (RA Fisher). Ultimately all “scientific” decisions and paradigms are political or at the very best subjective. There is no such thing as scientific certainty. In the fundamental analysis science is a description that tells us nothing about meaning. Once government gave up on religion they had to appropriate science as the source of authority, which means science as practiced nowadays is inherently corrupt. You will not be able to “prove” anything using science or science adjacent methods that ruling authorities don’t want you to prove. The battle is spiritual not material in a very real sense.

Ten years from now you’ll put on your jacket and find a paper mask in your pocket. You’ll chuckle to yourself and think, “man what a weird year that was.” Then you’ll pick up your machete and continue across the wasteland, keeping to the shadows to avoid the roving bands of cannibal raiders.

There are diary product surpluses throughout the developed world and have been going back decades. Most of the migrants from Africa and S.E. Asia are lactose intolerant, unlike ethnically Northern European peoples who are at below replacement fertility and are going away. Dairy is pretty much useless for migrants unless heavily processed and somehow forced on them. Baby milk is made from soy in the US and Europe, the use of cow milk is mainly the result of surpluses causing milk to be artificially cheap. Plus a good proportion of the migrants don’t eat cow, goat is the most commonly eaten red meat in the world. Since, apparently, we’re going to be eating bugs in future then cows and dairy really are useless.

The WEF future doesn’t require the Dutch farmers.

Considering the invasion of Ukraine as a topic du jour for a while now. It’s become a “get out of jail free” card for politicians in the West as their destruction of the economy begins to bite and affect the serfs. Is Putin doing this in some kind of Russian interest or is it part of the globalist strategic master plan. The peanut gallery seem to be happy to take at face value that the economic disasters overcoming the Western economies are the result of that nasty Hitler Putin man. Even as Dutch farmers protest in media silence against Agenda 2030 implementation, getting shot at by the Dutch Police for their trouble.

There are some odd background facts. During the Cold War the USA brought all the titanium for its ICBM and moon rockets from the USSR. When the USSR had a grain shortage the USA obligingly sold them wheat at discounted price. Both sides relied on scientists lifted from Nazi Germany as intellectual power in their war machines. Today we’re supposed to accept that Putin is selling the natural gas to his enemies that they need to stop their economies imploding whilst simultaneously threatening them with nuclear weapons if they don’t stop opposing him. How can any of this make sense? It’s more fake than a WWE Live extravaganza.

Everything that happens in the world is decided in secret meetings behind closed doors. What is really happening? The best it seems we can do at present is to assume the politicians are lying and exactly the opposite of what they are saying may be something close to the truth.

You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You’ll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
And the public wants what the public gets

Ghost Cities in China, gigatons of concrete formed into huge, crumbling shells of high rise apartment blocks. Bought and sold purely on the belief the value will always go up. Lived in by nobody, never meant to be lived in.

This isn’t any different than any other country, it’s just that in China we see the economy visualized in concrete. Modern industrial society produces far more than can be consumed at any one time. If people were careful and lived sustainably there would be hardly any on-going production and economies would grind to a halt. If instead of the eerie, empty, boulevards it were gold bars stacked in a vault somewhere you wouldn’t bat an eyelid. China is moving money through the economy this way and bringing peasants out of subsidence farming and into the finance economy. It matters not that it’s the equivalent of digging a hole and filling it in. In the modern world money is debt and a subsistence farmer can’t participate in the modern economy without a job and a credit rating. It’s all smoke and mirrors in the end.

The push to throw out “fossil fuels” and switch to “sustainable energy” is obvious BS, lithium batteries are in no way, shape, or form an example of something a reasonable man could call environmentally friendly and sustainable. The push for “green” energy is simply to destroy a load of capital infrastructure and force the building of replacements to keep driving money through the economy. Since the rulers of the world thoughtlessly spread the spectre of nukes across the planet wars don’t really cut it any more.

The world is the realm of the Devil and the fallen, it doesn’t make any sense because that’s not what this life is about. The real battle is in the realm of the spiritual, of faith. If you concentrate on the trees you won’t see the forest. Put on the Armour of God.

The elites have always loved Bentham’s Panopticon and now the technology is here to enable it. What will you do? What can you do? Bentham came to understand in later life that we should use the Panopticon to minutely examine the workings of our rulers. That’s what they’re terrified of. Technology is a double-edged sword and there’s everything to play for in this end game.

Clearly the demographics of countries are radically changing. All over the world, excepting parts of Africa, people are living longer and women are having less children in a lifetime. From a conventional point of view this is a disaster because there are fewer working age people and more old people to support. That’s transparently nonsense, like the overwhelming majority of contemporary received wisdom.

The economy determines how people live. Children used to work from an early age to help support the family and adults worked until they dropped. Now, thanks to the industrial revolution, children are kept in education for as long as possible because there only need to be a small proportion doing productive work producing food and keeping infrastructure going. On an individual level children and old people are a financial burden to a family unit but on the macro level this is meaningless. Money is printed and crises invented that “must be solved” to create and destroy demand . It’s all bullshit and magic. The lockdowns proved most people are engaged in futile tasks merely to create demand and destroy production.

Consider that the Pyramids in Egypt were a technology of social control. Building and maintaining the pyramids allowed the society to function and flourish until, as with all things, the complexity and maintenance became too much. Now the Pyramids stand as marvels produced by a bygone age for mysterious purposes, when truly there’s nothing mysterious at all.

Anyone who hasn’t read Philip K Dick’s novel “V.A.L.I.S.” should do so, if only to ponder its central thesis: that we live in biblical times but the Devil has overlain our current perceived reality on the events described in the Bible. There is no new thing under the sun. For all the insane imaginings of the transhumanists, people are born to live and die searching for the meaning of their lives and many of them are driven functionally insane by the process.

We’re not living in the end times. We’re living as people have always done, from moment to moment in the eternal now.

I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long long time ago
