Thank you. I had a few thoughts on the 1970s for the past few months, noting that even then life was good if you lived in the West - without TV and of course without SM.

Then all this 'end of enlightenment' and 'free will is over' bombardment from Yuval Noah Harari. And, Kissinger with his AI book released during this 'pandemic', signaling the end of humanity and enlightenment. Made me expand the thoughts beyond just 70s comparisons.

Interesting, hadn't seen it before. Lots of different opinions on peak oil etc. I still feel that 'they' already have this all planned out, whatever the narrative, to position themselves to profit immensely from controlling all sources of energy, and get us hooked on whatever they want us to. Similar to them profiting off oil/gas for almost a century and keeping us dependent on it. The 4th Industrial Revolution seeks to push people all online to consume and trade data, with people being the product. They'll control supply/demand for that too.

I wonder if Kissinger is playing a bit of revelation of the method?

Iceni bulletins was speculating about their reliance on AI.

People are talking about incompetence vs. malice and the unusual level of coordination and timing necessary for controlled demolition of society..

The phases.. petrodollar, financialization, memetics, hybrid warfare, social media TIA, gain of function, mrna vaccines, reverse transcription, neural link, vax passports as path to digital ID/ wallet, harmful lockdowns, demand destruction of reliable supplies of energy, food, and materials in preparation for planned release of viruses, resource wars and cyberattacks to accelerate digital transformation, centralized control and rationing of access and mobility.

Considering ancient accounts and popular myths and media, we could chalk up human history to our interaction with a pre-existing machine intelligence.
