STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- The Great Reset is an open demonstration of the power dynamic that many of our ancestors have been dealing with for centuries on end
- For a while, we, the citizens of the developed countries, have been lucky since the economic model that was useful to the most powerful individuals in the world was also working for us — but not anymore!
- Today, the self-appointed mafia bosses are dismantling their old “production lines” — as well as our expectations of what it means to be free — so that they can “build back better” at our expense
- “Divide and conquer” is a traditional and very effective trick that fools the ego, weaponizes suffering, and justifies abuse
- The most likely answers to breaking out of the game of “musical chairs of abuse” are spiritual honesty, love, and recognizing other people’s right to choose their path
Sometimes, we live our lives and take good things for granted, and it takes a dramatic event to realize how the world really works. Unexpectedly, we are living through such an event today, and — perhaps against our will — we are getting a brutally direct education in the nature of our relationship with authority, which is a lot less flattering than what our liberal (in the normal sense of the word) western education had led us to believe.
Punchline: I believe that what’s happening today with the Great Reset and general authoritarian shift is likely not an aberration from our civilizational ways, not an exception to the rule. It is simply an open demonstration of the power dynamic that many of our ancestors have been dealing with for centuries on end, in different ways.
We, people in the West, have been very lucky in the past few decades between World War II and 2001. We have been lucky that the economic model that was useful to the most powerful individuals in the world was also working for us since our consumer power and our freedom to choose what products and activities we liked were good for their bottom line. It looks like those two things are no longer as useful to their bottom line — which explains the authoritarian shift.
Some of us are just finding out that the “world order” is run like a mafia, more or less. We are finding out that our seemingly familiar world is run on mafia terms, by mafia minds. We are finding out that we, respectable citizens, are not so valuable to the mafia heads — and in their opinion, now may be our turn to be thrown under the bus of their infinite ambition for control.
Now, when we were growing up, did we count on being “those people,” “that generation” dealing with tyranny head on? Just like those who came before us and were attacked by the Machine, we certainly did not.
And my hope is that when we come out of this darkness — whenever it occurs and whatever it entails — we’ll come out of it with a deeper philosophical understanding of this world and of ourselves, as opposed to just yet another version of the Machine that is run by us as opposed to by them.
Why? Because as long as our fight is about ensuring that “people like us” benefit from the Machine as opposed to “them” (who can be sacrificed), we’ll be facing Great Resets galore until the cows come home.
“Divide and Conquer” Is a Masked Request to Help the Mafia Heads
As we know, “divide and conquer” is a traditional and very effective trick from the metaphorical Tyrant Manual, used by mafia heads for centuries (along with terror and violence) all over the world, in association with different ideological words — and usually, with quite a bit of success. The tyrants just love tapping into our fear and pain! They just love it because without spiritual clarity on our part, it works like a charm every time!
The reason why the tyrants have had so much success with this trick is because in our society, due to the lack of general spiritual respect, a lot of people have been “pre-humiliated” and soul-starved, whether they know it or not.
The souls of people starved for respect crave some kind of grace, and so we often accept any bone thrown to us — and with that, we also often accept the “anti-other” propaganda that mafia heads initiate to demonize those they want to sacrifice (and then steal their stuff). This dynamic seems to exist in every culture, in every camp — and it ruins good things every time!
The tyrants know very well that those who are humiliated and unhealed are so caught up in their own pain that they are prone to being oblivious of the fact that the type of elevation offered to them by the mafia heads requires degradation or even death of somebody else. And that’s how the Machine continues to exist. It continues to exist by making us internalize the feeling that inflicting pain on “us” is very bad (which of course it is), but inflicting pain on “them” is not.
Weaponizing Pain
Tyrants are very good at turning both immediate and symbolic pain into a weapon against whomever want to demonize at a given time. They like to create situations in which instead of focusing on healing and growing our souls so that we can heal others, too, we nurse and protect our own trauma and aggressively bark at everyone who contradicts the trauma-glorifying foundational beliefs!
Time and time again, the tyrants come up with plausible talking points that lionize the suffering of the group they temporarily elevate, and they call for revenge. As if on behalf of the suffering people, they call for humiliation of another demographic to “compensate.” Sounds like Incredible treachery? It does, and it is!
That pattern of behavior is overtly destructive toward the people who are thrown under the bus, and it’s covertly destructive toward the ones who are encouraged to be stuck forever in their pain and to hinder their own spiritual growth. (Q: Who benefits from vampiring the energy of hindered spiritual growth? A: Mafia heads!) And of course, the tyrants don’t care about anyone involved. They care strictly about feeding the insatiable ice-cold holes in their hearts, that is all.
Breaking the Centuries-Old Vicious Circle
The important question is, how do we counter that particular type of abuse? I believe that we counter it gradually, with a passionate spiritual feeling for doing the right thing, as solving this problem is one of the hardest things to do, and people are usually very married to their pain, and it takes a lot of benevolent spiritual feeling to break through.
I believe that when it comes to dealing with the unhealed, it makes sense to approach them with genuine love, their messes and all, and be kind to them while firmly standing your own spiritual ground. (Easy to say, hard to do — but none the less, that’s what needs to be done).
At the same time, when it comes to ourselves, it is our big, big, big responsibility to do whatever we possibly can to heal our wounds the soonest and in the sweetest way, and that’s regardless of whether others choose to heal their wounds or not.
Don’t wait for a stock market crash, dedollarization, or CBDCs before securing your retirement with physical precious metals. Genesis Gold Group can help.
It is one of those mysterious things that work in a way that is impossible to describe. If we befriend our trauma and start loving the symbol of our trauma more than our freedom from the ghosts, we risk turning into the very force we are trying to fight, and then we turn into unwitting helpers of the Machine, and then … hello, another Great Reset!
For that reason, my own passionate prayer is for the best healing of those I agree with and of those I disagree with, too. After all, healing of others benefits us all!
Who Wins in the Game “Divide and Conquer”? Mafia Heads, That’s Who
History has demonstrated again and again that when people go along with throwing others under the bus, sooner or later they get scooped by the Machine as well. And then it’s a bit late to complain!
It seems to works like this: First, the tyrants announce that a group of people (whose support the tyrants need) are the “special ones,” and they make the temporally “special ones” believe in their exclusive goodness, as the mafia managers congratulate and thank them for their help in sacrificing the other (“pagans,” “hostile Indians,” antivaxxers, people from another village, people whose ancestry or religion or biological traits make them “inferior,” and especially those whose property the mafia heads want to steal).
The sacrifice of “the other” is always for the greater good, of course. And then, once “the other” has been mostly fed to the Machine, the tyrant comes straight for the former special ones, who usually get very surprised! And the tyrant laughs at them without mercy as they try to remind him about the agreement they thought they had, about the fact that they were supposed to be special … He just laughs. So.
My feeling is that one of the important spiritual aspects of the Great Reset is to expose us to the ugly nature of throwing others under the bus based on our ideology or our idea of science or God. It is perhaps to cure us of the notion that the Creator discriminates based on our ancestry, religion, talking points, or the words we use to pray.
Without a doubt, everyone is special in a spiritual way and has a valid existential reason to be here and enjoy. And in order for the ongoing onslaught of great resets to end for good, we need to end our willingness to throw other people under the bus or deem them inferior in the name of the victory of our ideological goo.
When we do that with passion and with vigor, when we insist, this great reset will sooner or later self-combust, and the future ones may not come. The “great resetters” know that very well, and so they try to inflict more pain on us to make us tired and numb. They hope to milk our pain all the way with the idea that while we are hurting, we’ll be more agreeable to hurting others in the name of elevating ourselves.
Controlled Demolition
Another reason for the pain is of course the attempted controlled demolition of the world we know. The self-appointed mafia bosses are dismantling their old “production lines” — as well as our expectations of what it means to be free — so that they can “build back better” at our expense. By building back better, of course, they mean building more efficient and secure production lines, and maybe turning our bodies into useful factories as well.
And why do they feel entitled to such abuse? They have always been this way! It’s just that in the past few decades, we here in the West have been “chosen” to be “the special ones,” so we have not noticed the abuse as much.
Delusion, Undone
I think that realizing the true nature of our relationship with authority (whether we can immediately change it or not) is an important lesson that we can learn from living through the attempted Great Reset. Yes, life was far more pleasant and sane before the attempt at the Great Reset — but I think that as far as the mafia heads go, our comforts and freedoms were always intended as a temporary thing.
We were meant to believe we were free as long as our productivity and our consumer power were good for their bottom line. And as soon as AI started tempting — and overpopulation, worrying — the mafia heads, they quickly decided to take the matters in their hands and “course-correct,” making sure the peasants’ belts and nice and tight, and the leashes short.
For decades, we in the West were mostly sheltered from explicit abuse, especially during the “productive” years of our lives. The cultural paradigm has been to grant the “ability to buy a lot of stuff” to competitive individuals in their prime, and to toss people out of the “relevance zone” once they get tired, old, or sick — or maybe toss them out right away if they were too traumatized or unfit to compete in the market that required being able to operate and win in the atmosphere of unlove.
As a result, a lot of people have been spending their energy-rich youth proving their productivity and usefulness to the Machine and climbing up the ladder in the market based on unlove — only to eventually get tired and learn, through personal experience, that from the start, the Machine has never cared about them in any way.
Depleted, with new youth — indoctrinated into the latest thing — breathing into their necks, many people in the West have been walking into invisibility and irrelevance in their old age (unless of course they raised their kids right, and their kids continued to take care of their aging parents and protect them from the Machine).
“COVID” Made the Holes in Our Spiritual Existence Very Visible
When 2020 hit, it greatly exaggerated the existing ills by making them absurdly big. Lionizing inexperienced and gullible youth while disrespecting elders and tossing them into the trash has been a cruel cultural norm in “developed” countries for a while. In 2020, that norm, mixed with panic, arrogance, and blind trust in the ones in charge, played out like a horror film.
It played out like a horror film that featured abuse, imprisonment of elders in nursing homes, and mass murder of helpless patients at hospitals, all over the world.
A side note on medical mistakes Dr. Pierre Kory wrote an interesting letter about use of Midazolam and sedatives in COVID wards. Dr. Kory argues that early on, they were used by doctors out of “fear and stupidity” rather than malintent — and I do believe that it is likely true, and that most doctors, especially early on, were acting out of “fear and stupidity” (and maybe in some cases callousness and indifference), more or less.
I have a lot less confidence in the lack of malintent on the part of those who not only wrote the murderous guidelines but also bullishly enforced them, harshly punishing dissent. In my mind, for the sake of intellectual integrity, I’ve tried to find a benevolent explanation for that sort of thing — and I could find none!
There Is Hope
Good news: As the mafia bosses do their predatory thing, something mysterious is happening the hearts of those of us who insist on love. Under pressure, we are forced to remember that we are not theirs, that we are here with a mission of our own, with the spirit driving our hearts, with earth underneath our feet and timeless sacred skies above our heads (temporarily desecrated by the crazy geoengineering trails but timelessly sacred none the less — and one day, clear again!)
The soulless Machine wants to eat us all, and to the mafia bosses, we are all the same, like little ants. They’ve been hurting us in turns and laughing at how gullible we have been for centuries on end. They’ve been telling us that the game of musical chairs is the game we have to play.
They have figured out how to play our pain and our egos like a violin, and as we’ve been buying into it (also in turns), they’ve been gleefully abusing us all. They’ve been picking who is “us” du jour and who is “them” du jour — and they’ve been telling us that we are special, and those other people aren’t special at all (or better yet, that they are dangerous to all things good), and therefore, they can and should be sacrificed. But was it ever true? Honest to the heart, was it ever true?

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
