We still can stop this globalist takeover.

The Put People First Agenda (PPFA)

In my version of the Garden of Eden one should always be encouraged to eat from the tree of knowledge but should never meddle with the tree of life as that is above the pay grade of ANY human: past, present or future. Think of the sorcerers apprentice and all the unanticipated problems his meddling created. Those of us that understand the complexity of the global ecosystem tend to abide by the precautionary principle. The globalists have the audacity to think they can meddle with the Tree of Life with no consequence. They they seem to abide by the "Let's just do shit and see what happens" principle. I can't seem to find an antonym for the Precautionary Principle.

Our globalist corporations have obviously ignored this warning as GMO farming began/expanded in the early 1990's. Using CRISPR and other cutting edge technologies they have meddled with the tree of life: terminator seeds, plants that produce insecticides (which we eat), spraying plants with Glyphosate etc. Already it is clear these technologies are causing harm to human health. Then we have fluoride in the water supply, endocrine disruptors, PFAS chemicals etc., in or food and water. None of this makes sense and represents a willful refusal to consider what our collective knowledge (e.g., the tree of knowledge) should be telling us about the harm these substances unleash on the human population. But is goes on unabated because global corporations can profit in the short run.

Then came the Plandemic and the mRNA vaccines the did not prevent infection/transmission but did cause considerable harm and death. Worse yet there is growing evidence that these mRNA injections may actually be modifying our DNA and the consequences are just beginning to be understood. Of course this has all been ignored by globalist corporate media. And over the past year I have read numerous papers about self assembly nanobots within the vaccines and much more. I've yet to write about this subject as, at first, I was a skeptic. But perhaps it is time to cover the subject because there is plenty of evidence/papers etc. which suggest the globalists want to use mRNA concoctions in conjunction with 5G EMF radiation to control our moods and literally allow the government to get inside our heads. And thanks to the author for detailing the programs that are already underway.

It is now obvious that the WEF, UN, WHO etc. want full control of humanity. They aren't even shy about their plans: a Great Reset where you will own nothing (and really won't be happy at all). And it is all spelled out in Agenda21, Agenda2030, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's). They have very complex plans to exert control of every human on planet Earth. Their goal is a fully controlled global population -- which will relegate every human to the status of a slave on a globalist plantation.

WE THE PEOPLE, of planet Earth, need to immediately unite behind our own complex agenda in order to stop this globalist coup. To that end I've put together what I call the "Put People First" agenda, which has developed over the past 5 years. I'm encouraging everyone to endorse this agenda and cite your support at City Council, School Board meetings as well as during protests. As Benjamin Franklin once said at the signing of the Declaration of Independence: "We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." Here is the PPF agenda as it currently exists:

* No Lockdowns EVER again

* No forced masking ANYWHERE

* No forced vaccinations under ANY circumstance whether that be from injection, food or chemtrails

* Absolutely no vaccine passports or digital currency

* Reinstate all of those that lost jobs for refusing to get the mRNA injection, including all of our Healthcare workers

* Universal non-coercive choice: Wearing a mask or getting a mRNA injection will be up to each individual and there will be ABSOLUTELY no penalty for not complying in or out of the workplace.

* No more censorship of ANYONE whether that be on social media, corporate media or at the workplace. No one should ever be censored or punished for exercising their First Amendment Right to Free Speech.

* Impeach Biden/Harris and reinstate Trump as our president.

* Stop the LGBTQ and CRT indoctrination in our schools and corporations

* Stop the Climate Agenda and make Energy Independence Priority Number One.

* Send every Illegal Alien, that Biden has brought in through Open Borders, back home.

* Stop the illegal mass immigration invasion worldwide

* Legalize the personal cultivation of Cannabis, Psilocybin.

* Legalize the right to take Ivermectin, Hydroxychloriquine and other anti-viral herbs and drugs

* Legalize the right to choose when it comes to vaccines, abortion, drugs etc.

* Eliminate Genetically modified vaccines, plants, animals (fish, cattle etc.) and the use of Glyphosate.

* Eliminate the use of Geoengineering: Chemtrails, HAARP etc.* Eliminate the fluoridation of our water supply.

* Stop allowing Blackrock, and other financial institutions from buying up residential properties which will make it impossible for future families to own a home and build up equity.

* Demand your government defund and exit the UN, WHO and WEF

We do have those rights, as covered in the Ninth Amendment written centuries ago. The trouble is that our elected officials don't care about it, and part of the reason for that is the undue influence of the religious fervor mentioned by John.

Curious as to why you say laws and courts are at their end. Sounds like you suffered from on the job burnout prior to retirement. As a retired healthcare worker my perspective is that I always loved and believed in the work that I did - my narrow scope of control - yet now pray I never have to really need our “healthcare system” as a consumer, for a variety of reasons (that led to my current disillusionment). Perhaps we’re not too different after all.

To be clear hate speech is allowed by the 1st Amendment. Threatening people is not. And like it or not it is good hate speech is allowed because it is often cited as an excuse to censor, when it may not really be hate speech. Like in Great Britain people are being arrested for "hurty" speech every day. It is an excuse to censor those speaking out against the migrant invasion.

Fair enough. Obviously there are logical problems with this idea of the tree of knowledge of right and wrong. Because if there was no right and wrong before eating of the tree, then how could it be wrong to eat of the tree?

I read somewhere that “good and evil” was an ancient Hebrew shorthand for “everything”. Thus man’s partaking involved a sort of hubris, a running beyond boundaries. I liked that idea. And it seems obvious now with our super-advanced technology that is erasing our basic humanity, that the warning was apt.

Honestly, I think "right and wrong" is quite different than "good and evil." As a child, I was ignorant of evil, and thank God for that, since it allows for security. But I did know what was "right and wrong" to do. Evil is deeper. Living a life of simple obedience in a perfect world with no knowledge of the concepts of good and evil would make for a very happy existence; similarly only experiencing loving parents and no awful, abusive people, yet being gently corrected would create wonderfully kind and happy children. My opinion, obviously. lol

Their despair? I don't think that's what drives them. What drives them is simple to understand, if you understand psychopathy and how prevalent it is among "leaders".

"A common feature of all of these cults is that it is far from clear what exactly their leaders want apart from gratifying their apparently boundless pride, greed, and lust."

If you understand psychopathy, it's clear there is nothing apart from from their pride, greed, and lust. They latch onto dogmas as vehicles for their self-aggrandizement. HRC doesn't believe in anything except her own self-interest. Same for Nuland, Bolton, GWB, BHO, Soros, Fauci, Gates, Bourla, Schwab and others. They love power and revel in destruction. I might have some pegged wrong since I don't have great familiarity with them personally. Some may be suffering from some other mental sickness, but mostly it's psychopathy at work among people like them.

This piece does an excellent job of illustrating just how pathetic most humans are. They love psychopaths. The confidence and charisma that psychopaths exude reels the normies right in. None of us are totally immune, their qualities have an attraction. But one should see it for what it is. To succumb is weak and stupid, yet most do. As Leake points out, the brainless jumping aboard the COVID response, as we saw among most of our fellows shows us just how pathetic they are. It's not that those of us who saw through it from the beginning are geniuses, we're not. We're all wrong about a lot of stuff, a lot of the time. Nobody knows it all. But this was easy-peasy. Those taken in are pathetic and lack something that should be required to be considered fully human. I can't see it any other way without putting blinders on, which I don't do on purpose. Why else is history such a shiite show, and most have lived under tyranny, and sucked up to it? We (collectively speaking) make our bed, no excuses. I did not come to such dark conclusions willingly or quickly. It took decades, and I resisted, naturally. Who wants to believe such things unless it becomes undeniable?

Yes, but what’s behind the psychopathy? After all, man has few deterministic psychological instincts worth mentioning. Rather, he is a conceptual being; his survival and wellbeing depends on his ability to correctly understand the nature of reality and to properly integrate percepts into concepts and concepts into other concepts of ever increasing complexity. His psychological outputs are the product of his ideas, right or wrong, for better or for worse. The overwhelming majority of people throughout history have neither had the ability, the resources, or the desire (man’s consciousness is volitional) to recognize, let alone accomplish, such levels of intellectual discipline necessary for his own success. Instead, historical circumstances and necessity provided canned, prepackaged, off-the-shelf systems of morality or ethics that “guided” (at the barrel of a gun) most men’s actions and beliefs. Unsurprisingly, such systems of primitive morality (primarily organized religion) were provided by powerful rulers and institutions of great wealth and resource with self interest as their primary motive. A secondary consideration would have been social order. A distant third consideration would have been the welfare of their sycophants. Everyone else was just cattle and cannon fodder or the enemy. Constantine’s role at the First Council of Nicaea (325 AD) is a good historical example of this dynamic. Eventually, the wealth and resources of the common man improved and exploded exponentially with the introduction of the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. People started to walk away from pre-packaged systems of morality (e.g. State-sponsored Christianity) about the time that Nietzsche famously said “God is dead, and we have killed him.” But man, a conceptual being, still needs a system of ethics to survive. He must understand what values to pursue; what moral code is consistent with sustaining his own life. Hence, his rejection of canned, prepackaged ethics will only be counted as progress IF HE CAN MANAGE TO REPLACE THAT VACUUM WITH A NEW SET OF ETHICS BASED UPON OBJECTIVE REALITY. Unfortunately, after an historic victory at Philadelphia in 1776, in recent years collectivistic ethics of all shapes and sizes have beguiled most Westerners into pursuing what amounts to a rerun of the old top-down, Soviet-style systems where the only difference is that the state has replaced the Church as the arbiter of truth and the bureaucrats have replaced the Bishops as the enforcers of orthodoxy. At the end of the day, as you say, man sleeps in his own bed. There’s no miracle that’s going to rescue us here. It’s up to us. Man, uniquely among all living things, survives and prospers by using his rational faculty—his mind. If a man fails to think, he can be sure that there will be someone that will come along and do it for him to his own detriment.

You've thought a lot about this and make some good points. Some I see a bit differently. What's behind the psychopathy? If you think its environmental, you're barking up the wrong tree. It's inborn, or a result of brain injury. They are fundamentally different, unreachable, incurable. I'm not one to take the establishment narrative as gospel, but on this particular point they are clearly right IMO. Psychopaths have always been with us, always will be. You can't understand how societies work without a very clear understanding of the subject and I suggest a deep dive. As far as " IF HE CAN MANAGE TO REPLACE THAT VACUUM WITH A NEW SET OF ETHICS BASED UPON OBJECTIVE REALITY"? Well, that would be nice, wouldn't it. Won't happen, can't happen, given the human beings we live amongst. Those who will live by that are unfortunately a small percentage of people and that ain't changing. There are two things that work. Better leaders, since the vast majority want to be told what to think. That's not going to arise spontaneously. The other thing, and this has legs, proven legs, is a benevolent dogma that transcends individuals, who will come and go and can't be relied on anyway. There are a lot of dogmas.. Greek, Roman, Norse mythology had their day. Today we have Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism. And of course Marxism and woke, virtue-signaling BS. Most need something to follow, it's the only way forward that works. One stands out - Christianity. Sure like anything it's abused, the leaders within the institution are often corrupt, as in any institution. But it's mostly benevolent, inspiring, and fosters successful, thriving societies better than anything else we've had. It's really the only hope I see. Factually true or not, I'm hoping for a revival.

Please share widely. As I prepared my talk before the City Council -- “How Citizens can oppose the Globalist Agenda through their City Councils” -- I decided to focus on 2 main themes: 1) All recent globalist initiatives are being implemented globally and at the same time. That includes Smart Electric Meters (2009), 5G (2019), The Plandemic (2020) and Smart Water Meters (2025). 2) This orchestration requires an unelected global authority that can trump the sovereignty of cities, states and nations. Included is the video of my speech.

IoJ Files Landmark Case Against PAHO/WHO for Willful Non-Compliance and Pattern of Systematic Contempt of Court ORDERS

The principle of territorial sovereignty, as recognized in customary international law and codified in numerous international instruments, establishes that all entities operating within a state’s borders—including international organizations—must respect that state’s constitutional order and judicial determinations. PAHO/WHO’s presence in Costa Rica is governed by the Basic Agreement between the Government of Costa Rica and the Pan American Health Organization, which explicitly requires compliance with applicable national laws and does not grant immunity from constitutional obligations or fundamental rights protections

Get out of the cities if your circumstances allow for it. Rural people are more down to earth and realistic. Many home school their children and teach them to think independently.

I wasn't aware that Scruton wrote about this diabolical hubris – I've only ever read his "Beauty" essays (book) which was excellent. But his quote referenced above there is spot on:

"The work of the devil is to persuade us to remake the world in the image of this despair, while at the same time exciting us to the heights of religious passion, so that we believe that, in doing so, we are acting for the greatest good. We should bear this in mind when considering the great events of the modern world, and in particular those extraordinary revolutions which, beginning from the despair of intellectuals, ended in the despair of everyone."

Excuse me for pasting it again in the comment section, but it bears reiterating!

In a relatively recent conversation between Bret Weinstein and Charles Eisenstein, they both digress together and wonder why there's so much "explicit devil worship kind of stuff – bleeding into mainstream entertainment". Everyone sees it, and just like the absurd ultimatums of covid, it feels like a test: do you decline to participate in what is obviously nonsensical and increasingly satanic? Or do you pretend to not see it, or at worst appeal to moral relativity? Charles asserts that the "devil" in this sense (if only understood metaphorically) enforces group discipline (i.e. conformity) and demands thoughtlessness too (i.e. socializing moral responsibility, devaluing individuality, etc).

Of course, Rene Girard has a lot to say on this group discipline aspect of the pseudo-religions in his book "I See Satan Fall Like Lightning".

During the shamdemic I attempted to riff (via fiction) on this very idea that Scruton articulates (unbeknownst to me until now) of despairing men, believing they are working for the greatest good, who seek to remake the world in their own image, but of course everything goes wrong. The premise of my book (as you can see on the top of the back cover) reads similarly:

"If you could make any wish – but not without warping the entire world in your image, mirroring your delusions, would you make such a wish?"

As a kid of the 90s I grew up mired in kitsch which I mostly outgrew thankfully, but around 2023 I caught wind of how this wildly popular franchise (The Legend of Zelda) had degenerated into adopting overt occult symbols and satanic themes, so I decided to tactfully parody the whole thing – as it had clearly become yet another consumerist pseudo-religion! If you're familiar with the 1992 game "A Link to the Past" my fanfic is mostly based on that, which ironically had a shamdemic backstory (of a wizard convincing the kingdom of a "pestilence" that may or may not have ever existed, hypnotizing all the authorities, detaining dissidents, trafficking young girls, all in all a cartoonish rendition of mass formation psychosis; too easy to parody post-covid). So I hoped to subvert this popular pseudo-religion for young readers, but my style of writing is very philosophically dense, so who knows what will come of it...

If anyone wants to grab a copy here it is in US Letter size: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FF2TDL5F

And then a smaller US Trade size format: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FF2RLB5Q

Animated a book trailer too: https://youtube.com/shorts/l0un9GvyJow?feature=share

I posted a free digital version on Substack as well: https://hyruleparody.substack.com/

End of the day, I find it very disheartening (or just dumb) how so many millennials have elevated cherished franchises to the level of false-idolatry. You don't even have to be religious to see this phenomenon, or to find it frustrating – simply because the content of these idols is empty. By habituation and in effect, young people (increasingly) inculcate themselves in emptiness and meaningless narratives; of course the devil is laughing all the way.

In the process of dismissing religion many found alternatives. Sadly the alternatives lead to nowhere and lack guidance for conducting living. Kirk preached the power of Jesus to save us.

Mass vaccination is indeed a religion. Aaron Siri’s just published book is entitled “Vaccines Amen.” My comment is on repeat SARS-2 infections contracted by the vaccinated.

Is it necessary to invoke “probably antibody-dependent enhancement” as the reason? Dr. Hazan has pointed out that the bifidobacteria in the gut is wiped out by the COVID shots. In fact, a pregnant woman who is vaccinated will birth a baby bereft of bifidobacteria … if the baby makes it full term, a big “IF”. This is a serious risk for the child as is, made worse by Tylenol consumption by Mom just to snub President Trump. Is this bout of TDS not mental illness?

What I’m bringing up is destruction of the human microbiome by the COVID shots … and all the rest … due to their toxicity. The analogy with GMO farming which destroys the soil biome is exact. This is a topic I have yet to hear Dr. McCullough take on … the relationship of the human microbiome to immune response and the compromise of immune response because of vaccine toxicity. This would be my lay-person reason for repeat COVID (SARS flu) infection as well as breakouts of other “vaccine preventable” diseases.

Vaccines are not sterilizing. The damage to the microbiome results in permanent residence of the artificial infection … introduced by the vaccine … in the gut. It becomes your roommate: no lockdown can protect you from it, and any combination of stresses can be expected to bring on a repeat infection. The virus thriving in the gut will emerge with each exhalation like bats from a Wuhan cave. Maybe masking not so great an idea.

This is surely the case with chicken pox vaccination, whereby kids get shingles at age 10 instead of age 80, known to be caused by the virus strain from the vaccine. Where was the virus hiding? In the gut, like an illegal alien grifting off the host (I prefer political analogies to sports analogies).

In substack comments I’ve been bugging Dr. McCullough for a few years to take on this topic. It is important because it is true and it presents a critical factual and conceptual snag to those who are stuck in the vaccine religion. A reason to believe we can abandon the practice because there is a FUNDAMENTAL flaw neglected in 100% of safety/efficacy studies … damage to the human microbiome.
