As with most things Nefarious...its an old plan and old play-book..Been scanning a Douglas Rushkoff book, and that thought squeezed in between the neurons, the few that remain

About 3 months ago, I don’t remember exactly and didn’t save the YT video interview by Danny Jones of Douglas Rushkoff. I hadn’t been aware of the latter’s works at all… Just shows how atomised culture has become really or perhaps I had become. A couple of days ago Julian Dorey interviewed Douglas Rushkoff again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FvEAeAHmUY It’s a long form interview, and many interesting points and themes which have been discussed and explored here before. It does get interesting (2hours 19 minutes in) in how the population has been deliberately atomised in the form of the housing (Levittown) provided to the millions of returning troops from WW2. The first example of modern suburbia, planned atomisation to nuclear family structures and the economic and control drivers for doing so and it’s consequences by design. And how it fits into the great reset and transhumanism themes.

So I invested in his book below.
“Life Inc: How the World Became a Corporation and How to Take It Back,”

Worth a watch and having just scanned through it so far, the book seems to remain extremely on point 15 years later and the consequences even more obvious.

That was the first book I reviewed for Amazon.
Also, my first rejected review.
That’s when i knew.
Amazon was a digital-burn in-progress.

… I’m curious … on what basis did they reject the review?

I related a story about the military and a basic training.
It showed a flaw in the system, that the soldier exploited to get out.
It tied in with the Life book.
It was one of those urban legends.
Was the candidate pretending to be crazy - to get out?
For all appeareances - he wasn’t.
He would search the grounds for papers, then throw them back on the ground.
Put in prison.
Let out.
AND do the same.
Repeat, Rinse, Repeat…

Until…?
He got his discharge papers and read: “Under Medical Conditions”
At that point he uttered his firsat words, since arriving at basic trainingg,
"Now That’s the MF’r I’ve ben n looking for!

Amazon rejected it.
I thought it was rather humorous.

That’s it in a nutshell ;

I read Rushcoff’s 1st book in 2009/2010. Life Inc. I watched his interviews and thought to myself, now, there is an observant individual, on society, influence of the industrial revolution etc… Then I lost touch with his writing and attempted to remember his name over the years but for the life of me couldn’t recall his name or the title of the book.

I see his books aren’t hugely popular. hmmmm? That’s sometimes a good sign.

Going to catch up with his writings.

I emailed him, and he returned it.
He asked what I meant when I metioned oil not being what most people thought.
I replied it was abiotic.
He asked what’s my source?
I replied, F Willianm Engdahl’s - Myth, Lies, and Oil Wars 2012 book.

That was it.

I put him with Noam the Foam, and Chris Hedges…
A Gate Keeper.

Help me. I am with you with all the oil disinformation and it’s abiotic and the peak oil scam.

Chris Hedges and Naomi? There is a couple of Naomi’s. There is the gold bug, economic analyst Naomi ? something and Naomi Klein.

Gatekeepers? You putting him in a good slot or bad slot?

Ok, watched the video.

Either he is uninformed on the issue which can happen if you’re not in the right environment or he’s a gate keeper.

Unless I review what he talked about between 2010-2026 can’t tell what’s up.

Dude got old. I got old too, but time went quicker for him.

It’s a nick name, a New York friend of of mine gave Noam Chomsky.
Gatekeepers a very good.
But, they won’t go the distance.

A usual tell is 9/11.
Try getting them to tell you about death jabs.

He’s an extreme conservative.
Very much keen on tradition.
Got in trouble at an early age with the law.
That really turned his views on society at large.

So keen was his insight; when he disagreed with me…?
I’d reexamine my viewpoint.
AND, eventually, find he was right.
He’s NOT “left”; in ANY sense of the word.

I was joking. People seem to think that everyone who lives in NY is part of the monolith.
