On the current events

Trump seems to be conspicuously motivated to present his questionable adventure with the B2 bombers striking Iran’s nuclear facilities as a resounding success. Everybody seems to dismiss it, attributing it to his normal egomania, but I do wonder if there’s more to it.

For instance, Netanyahu could have framed the situation in terms where only an American nuclear strike at the underground facilities, and a decapitation nuclear strike at Tehran, would guarantee the end of Iranian nuclear programme, and the Islamic regime there. Trump would have been very disinclined to see things this way and proposed an alternative scenario, where he uses conventional bombs to disable the nuclear facilities, and only decapitates Iran if they prove disinclined to make any kind of a deal.

So, even if those conventional strikes achieved next to nothing, which in fact seems to be the case, Trump would try very hard to present them as a complete success, so that he wouldn’t have to resort to a nuclear strike, because that’s a can of worms he doesn’t want to open.

There now seems to be some kind of a very questionable ceasefire in action, but the entire thing doesn’t look over to me.

The Russians, on the other hand, are making more of a progress in Ukraine. They don’t seem to be in much of a hurry, and their actions are constrained by aversion to losses and the geopolitical chess game, because the sooner they deal with Ukraine, the sooner they will have to deal with the unfortunate next Slavic country to be thrown at them by NATO. So, they are doing this very slowly, hoping that the degradation of the West will do most of their work for them without them having to resort to either nuclear weapons or mass battles with huge losses. The things are proceeding slowly, but apparently due to choice rather than necessity. I, however, don’t share their optimism. Putin wants to avoid nuclear war even at the cost of deterrence, but anyone who knows anything about game theory can tell you that this is a terrible strategy that actually encourages further encroachment to the point where it in fact causes the thing it meant to prevent.

The current situation is highly unpredictable, since too many clowns are running the circus, and Putin played certain moves contrary to conventional logic, which is not a good thing. His response to the bombing of the “Bears” on airfields, which are intentionally exposed so that the other side can count them and see their activity via satellite imagery in real time, and are therefore considered inviolable by both sides, should have been either nuclear, or a super-destructive conventional strike at the NATO intelligence and command&control centres that orchestrated the attack. That would be the tit-for-tat expected in the game, and would inform the other side that further encroachment will not be tolerated, thus reducing the risk of escalation. By not responding in an immediate and nasty enough manner, Putin sent a very dangerous signal, essentially encouraging further encroachment. It’s as if he’s actually trying to encourage the other side to start the nuclear war. Either his Christianity went into his head, turning the other cheek and that kind of stuff, or he actually wants a nuclear exchange to take place, but he wants the other side to appear guilty. It’s weird. Too many poorly judged, unconventional strategic moves have been taking place from both sides, resulting in a situation that is volatile as it is unpredictable.

  1. Trump will always declare victory, so I'm not sure how much we can read into it; but it does sound like he lost control there for a bit, doesn't it?

    There was a defining moment described in The Apprentice , where he adopts "three rules" from his mentor Cohn: "always attack, never admit wrongdoing, and always claim victory, even if defeated."

    Hard to know what was negotiated behind the scenes, but the whole thing smells of some sort of theater for the public where each side managed to earn… well, bragging rights, I guess?

    Israel didn't really manage to overthrow the Iranian regime, but they can brag they killed Iranian scientists and destroyed Iranian nuclear program. Iran… who calls their enemy to warn them before they attack? But they can brag they engaged with both Israel and the US, and they even got to shoot the last round. US bombed Iran, which moved a bit of dirt, but they can brag that they ended the conflict.

    But I notice that Iran quietly suspended cooperation with the IAEA, stopping short of withdrawal from NPT, and now they can develop their nuclear program in peace. Trump is running out of time for "frontloading stress" because midterms are fast approaching, and he needs stuff to calm down very soon and optics to improve quickly, because otherwise he'll lose control in the Congress. It's quite obvious that each side got something, including a way to save face.

    I won't even try to guess what they were, but Israel might have managed to achieve some of their true objectives in shadows, as always. They also paid for it. I wonder if they deem the result net positive.

    • Also, this whole thing around Israel has strong elements of a religious war, considering how presidents of all countries involved are counselled by religious ideologues of messianic and apocalyptic cults.

  2. I assume that if SK were alive, he’d be eagerly updating the scripts to adapt to the current situation.
    In this case, however, the scripts have to run on autopilot, following the previously prepared "Save the World" map.
    Various characters on the stage are baring their teeth, and I think SK would have shut them down if he were alive, because their current uncontrolled behavior would be jeopardizing his “Project World.”

    Back in the day, vinyl records used to skip and repeat a section of a song — now it’s only a matter of time before it becomes obvious that the SK scripts trying to keep this prison alive are doing the same.

    • Honestly, on some deeper level, this no longer feels as if anyone is "doing" anything, it looks like some kind of a thermodynamic event, for instance ocean cooling down by evaporating into the atmosphere and making a hurricane.

      Basically, the same as the ocean producing a hurricane merely as a consequence of its inability to hold on to the level of energy it has, the global astral field can't hold on to the level of energy it had while Sanat Kumar was managing the system, and we are facing a spiritual equivalent of a major temperature drop.

      • Also, I need to add this, because people who aren't trained physicists tend to have wild misunderstanding of those things.
        An energy drop sounds like a low-energy event, but in fact it's a high-energy event. When an atom drops in energy, it emits a photon, basically produces radiation when you look at it from the outside, and to you it appears like a high-energy event. Ocean dropping in temperature is a hurricane, a very violently high-energy event. Gas that drops in temperature/pressure emits large amounts of heat. Battery going from high energy state to a low energy state is a very energetic event.
        Likewise, the global system cooldown, its descent into a lower-energy state, appears extremely violent and energetic – hysteria, violence, wars, genocide and so on. An energy drop usually means a very big "boom".

        • This is the right place for your explanation. You mentioned it earlier, but as we get closer to the boom event, it protects reason in all this madness. Thank you.

    • So the Anahatic King is no more? It's interesting how this coincides with some psychosocial phenomena that have fascinated me for the last few years:

      1) Young people are less interested in socializing—at the same time, they are also chronically lonelier, feel unaccepted, and suffer even more from substance abuse as well as behavioral addictions (gambling, video games, scrolling, all that while self-isolating); they have less and less in common with one another and find little to no joy in getting drunk (which used to be the main pastime just 15 years ago).

      2) Collective gatherings (events, concerts) are failing. One could say that it's rational to assume that concerts are no longer "in" due to economic reasons, inflation, but poverty was relevant decades ago, and still young people went to concerts. It seems more people developed an aversion to large gatherings.

      3) Failure of collective organizations: starting from family (more divorces, cutting off, negligence), schools, companies, communities—it all seems to fall apart.

      Am I getting this right? Are the social strings, the glue of community and interest in it, weakening due to SK's final downfall?

      • Am I getting this right? Are the social strings, the glue of community and interest in it, weakening due to SK's final downfall?

        The complexity of the global system is such that it might not be possible to answer such questions in a manner that makes any sense. It's like asking whether more plastic in the oceans is due to global warming. Likely no, but it's not like those things are not related, because humans dump plastic, shit and CO2 into the environment, but that still doesn't mean there's an actual anthropogenic global warming, so the question includes so many faulty premises one can't just answer it.
        The more direct cause of the failure of the young generations can be found elsewhere; first, the introduction of social media and mobile always-on devices for attaching to them seems to have more attraction than, basically, anything else for them. It's like providing them with something that both promises a strong dopamine hit, and threatens them with very powerful negative consequences – social ostracism, ridicule etc. – so they just can't leave it alone and it has priority over things like real-life social connections, reading books, walking in nature and so on. Since they got hooked on that very young, their entire neurochemistry was built around such dysfunction, like being addicted to some drug since birth. Also, since the smartphones and the nature of social media limit what you can actually do effectively, there was a race to the bottom in trying to attract maximum attention and praise with minimum text, and so memes and emojis replaced conventional human languages. At this point, if a human tries to write coherent sentences and express actual thoughts, he will be accused of being a chat GPT bot, because, apparently, AI fails the Turing test by being thoughtful and coherent, while humans have devolved into mime-emoji regurgitating imbeciles.
        Sanat Kumar contributed to this, because he motivated the development of social media and interpersonal networks, trying to manifest an alternative to personal spiritual evolution by manifesting the oneness of brahman through oneness and interconnectedness of mankind. Like all his plans, this failed, and produced a collective animal-zombie-idiot.
        Would this possibly have a different outcome were he here to inject some kind of a positive energy vector into this collective entity and guide it? Maybe, but if it needs deception and external energy source to give it a sense of meaning it would otherwise be unable to find, then it basically proves that such idea won't work, even if it for some reason were not obvious from the start. You can't manifest God by networking humans. What actually manifests is human emptiness without God. If you wanted to manifest God, you need to start with an individual connection with God, which is what you get with exactly the kind of spiritual evolution he had a problem with in the beginning, because he failed at it and had to watch those who succeeded.
        So, as a conclusion, I would say that the social and civilisational decay and degradation is not a symptom of Sanat Kumar's absence, but a symptom of failure of his actual plan, which is developing as it normally would without someone to tweak and prod it into faking some outcome that mimics non-failure.

    • I assume that if SK were alive, he’d be eagerly updating the scripts to adapt to the current situation.

      Honestly, I don't know what he'd do, because what he was doing wasn't working even when he was alive and apparently winning. In fact, he got himself killed by winning too hard.
      But let's do some guesswork by assuming he's logical.
      I don't think he would update the scripts. The scripts are doing the best they can considering the circumstances. Modifying the standing rules or introducing new ones wouldn't do anything useful. The problem is absence of energy in the system, and it's a big problem, since everything is at absolutely critical levels and the systems have been failing for years due to the lack of energy to drive "positive" mechanisms of motivation. So, he would have to stop the process of energy depletion and add more energy to the system at all cost, but that's easier said than done since it would require attracting very highly evolved souls here, deceiving them by his standard means – "recognise" him as God and pledge themselves to him – because the current state of the world makes it exceedingly unlikely for that to succeed, and also he'd be out of time, which would limit him to working on the souls that are already here. The problem is, the energy deficit he's facing is such that the number of suitable matches is very low. Also, all of them are his sworn enemies and all past efforts in seducing them have failed. So, since that won't work, he'd attempt tricking them into activities that would disrupt their spiritual structure and basically kill them, leaving the high energy crystals in his possession. The most likely approach would be to tempt them to attack critical systems and take on more karmic mass to process than they can handle, but there's already a standing order to that effect and the scripts are implementing it, as it is one of the most effective things he's been using against yogis since forever. They tend to be overachievers and egomaniacs who want to show everyone how great they are, and it's easy to get them to kill themselves.
      So, since this process is already in effect, I think he would be doing absolutely nothing, and no additional moves would be either possible or helpful. It does, however, show why he was so desperate to get rid of me when he did, to the point where he slipped on tea in the process. In fact, he already seems to have exhausted the timeline tweaking by that point – essentially, project into the future to see what happens, and tweak things to make them worse for me and more likely for him to win. However, winning more was a fatal move.
