The Post-Partisan Emporium

news about elevated death rates is leaking out and we're running out of excuses to deflect blame el gato malo you’re probably not going to see a great deal about this in the US press, but it’s starting to leak out  in places like the UK  where the hand in glove aspect of mainstream media and state is not quite as complete. we are, however, still mired in ideas of “unexplained” which feels like a bit of a figleaf and media and state alike are grasping around for “reasons” that are not too damaging for narrative. and easy early one onto which to latch is “lockdowns did this” and treating it as some sort of hangover effect. the argument largely goes like this: and while there is likely some truth to it, this explanation does not seem terribly satisfactory. you can certainly increase deaths by swamping care and preventing early detection of risks, but it does not generate this kind of rise in overall mortality. these claims are associative, but lack any clear linkage. it feels lik...

Part One can be found here .  Part Two can be found here .   The Great Rehash, Part Three: Unsafe and Ineffective John Michael Greer In the first two parts of this sequence of posts ( 1 ,  2 ), I’ve outlined the background of the Great Reset, Klaus Schwab’s dreary rehash of the last half century or so of fix-the-world schemes, and used the creation and destruction of the Georgia Guidestones as a lens through which to see how those schemes have so reliably run face first into the brick wall of reality.  In this third part of the sequence I want to put those phenomena in a broader context. My regular readers will not be surprised to hear that there are historical parallels for the situation we’re in, in which a complex society is managed by a caste of privileged intellectuals convinced that their mastery of abstract notions makes them uniquely qualified to run the world. That’s a common state of affairs at a certain point in the history of civilizations.  My ...
