Freedom Trucker Convoy: From Canada to USA to all across the world

"CRAZY: Justin Trudeau swarmed by angry protesters outside the Bread Bar in Hamilton."

And, apparently less than half of Canadians are the new normal and don't subscribe to conspiracy theories. May their GST rebates sore (admit to also getting a rebate cheque recently for a wee bit over $10.00 - which probably cost he taxpayers $1,500 to process; just guessing)

The survey also said only 42% of Canadians trusted federal institutions to be truthful, while the remainder had doubts about the information related to them by Ottawa.
[...]
Analysts told the government that over-regulation would not fix the problem.

“Relying solely on traditional top-down approaches that aim to regulate content are insufficient at limiting the immediate dangers of misinformation,” the study claimed.

“Innovative policy-making tools such as behavioural science can help provide immediate and long term solutions to misinformation.”

The Privy Council commissioned Impact Canada to conduct the research which included 1,872 Canadians.

There have been several recent high profile cases of government officials or bodies spreading misinformation to Canadians.

On Tuesday, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault was forced to delete a tweet after claiming the California Lunar New Year shooting was an anti-Asian racist attack despite the fact that the shooter himself was of Asian descent.

“Sadly, hatred towards Asian people overshadowed the celebrations, and this barbaric act is proof that we must remain vigilant against racism. Hoping that the victims and families will be courageous in this time of grief,” tweeted Guilbeault.

Crown corporation CBC has also been cited on numerous occasions in recent months for misleading Canadians. The most recent incident occurred when the state broadcaster’s Saskatchewan arm reported a misleading story about a Catholic church fund for residential school victims.

True North is being kind with the word "recent" in terms of government officials and misinformation, while not specific on the CBC, although "numerous" is rather a little light as a description, osit.
 
The barricades are up. We'll see what happens.

JT has given a speech before going back into parliament. He accuses Poilievre of inciting anger in Canadians without offering any constructive ideas or solutions to our problems (facing difficult times, as he calls it). True to his visions, he certainly knows how to use emotions and words to make his point across like a good savior of the planet. Geezz, can't his star shine any brighter?

Health Care is a Provincial mandated issue. He does not have the right to dictate how the Provinces should do their own distribution. He is trying to hold the Provinces prisoners of his own sickening dictatorship agenda. To make matters even more interesting, now he has Ford as a model for other provinces showing off his brand of Health Care. Each Province has different priorities and needs depending on what is happening with the population (percentage of elderly compared to those who have more youngsters, immigrants, Indigenous people, etc)

He states: "There are two leaders today that you have to choose between," Trudeau said. "Are we going to make sure we are working for a positive vision of the future, or do we incite people to anger without providing constructive and positive solutions?"
Does he smell an election? As for constructive solutions, dictating to the Provinces smells of authoritative bullying! As for enticing people to anger, he is certainly doing that part!


There is a formula used as per population status and as per the act of 1867:

2.1 Constitution Act, 1867

The division of powers between federal and provincial governments with respect to health is not specifically addressed in the Constitution Act, 1867,2 except as it concerns the assignment of federal responsibility for quarantine, the establishment and maintenance of marine hospitals, and the assignment of provincial responsibility for operating most other hospitals. Rather, jurisdiction for health and health care has been assigned using indirect powers.

The federal government derives its authority over matters of health and health care from the federal criminal law power3 and the federal spending power.4 The criminal law power is used mainly to enact legislation for public health and safety. Examples include the Food and Drugs Act, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and the Human Pathogens and Toxins Act. The federal government relies on the spending power to provide financial transfers to the provinces under the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act 5 (FPFAA) and to set standards and conditions under the Canada Health Act (CHA).6

Except for matters that fall under the powers described above, health is for the most part an area of provincial jurisdiction. For example, the provinces have jurisdiction over hospitals and health care services, the practice of medicine, the training of health professionals and the regulation of the medical profession, hospital and health insurance, and occupational health. Power over these areas is granted by sections 92(7) (hospitals), 92(13) (property and civil rights) and 92(16) (matters of a merely local or private nature) of the Constitution Act, 1867.


Furthermore:

2.3 Canada Health Transfer

Under section 5 of the CHA, “as part of the Canada Health Transfer, a full cash contribution is payable by Canada to each province for each fiscal year.” The CHT, established under the FPFAA, is the largest of the transfer programs.8 The federal government can withhold some of a province's CHT if it is determined that the CHA has been contravened in that jurisdiction. In terms of penalties, provinces can be subject to a dollar-for-dollar deduction of the CHT if a medical practitioner in that province is found to have applied user charges or extra billing for insured services, which is prohibited under sections 18 and 19 of the CHA. As well, a CHT deduction amount to be determined by the Minister of Health can be applied to a province for contravening any of the conditions or criteria set out in sections 8 to 13 of the CHA.

The formula for calculating the CHT is provided in the FPFAA, which is amended when there are changes to this formula.9 Under section 24.21 of the FPFAA, cash payments to the provinces are allocated on an equal per capita basis. Beginning in the 2017–2018 fiscal year, the CHT payments increase by an amount equal to the three‑year moving average of Canada's nominal gross domestic product, but not less than 3% per year.10

Figure 1 below shows the percentage increases in health transfer amounts to Canadian provinces over the past decade.

Figure 1 – Percentage Increase of Canada Health Transfers to the Provinces, 2012–2013 to 2021–2022

Figure 1 shows the percentage by which Canada Health Transfer amounts increased for Canada overall and for each of the provinces from 2012–2013 to 2021–2022, in descending order. Alberta has the greatest increase at 115%, while Newfoundland and Labrador has the smallest at 25%. Overall, contributions from the Canada Health Transfer in that decade increased by 51%.

Note: “CHT Total” represents all Canada Health Transfer amounts.

Source: Figure prepared by the Library of Parliament using data obtained from Government of Canada, Major Federal Transfers.

One thing should be mentioned: Health Care and Municipal concerns are Provincial, except for infrastructure, roads, transport, airports, mail, broadcasting, chartered banks, etc. . However, all Indigenous Reserves fall under the Federal jurisdiction for Health Care.


Trudeau, Poilievre trade barbs in caucus speeches as Parliament set to reconvene​

udeau appoints Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre struck very different tones Friday in speeches to their caucuses ahead of what's likely to be a heated spring session of Parliament -- one describing a "positive vision" for Canada's future, the other asking, "What's happening to our country?"

The House of Commons will reconvene on Monday after more than a month away and is expected to focus on the many challenges Canadians have continued to face since last year, including high inflation and rising interest rates, travel delays and a struggling health-care system.
Speaking to his caucus in Ottawa during a three-day retreat, Trudeau acknowledged Canada and the world at large are facing "difficult times," but said his government would work to "meet this moment."
"We're beginning a new year, and more than ever, it's important to reaffirm our positive vision for a stronger future together," he said.
"The world is facing a moment and as Liberals, as Canadians, we must meet it."
The prime minister said a particular focus this spring will be on health care, as premiers across the country call for more federal investment to resuscitate systems that are suffering from long wait times for patients and a shortage of workers.
Trudeau is set to meet with premiers on Feb. 7 to discuss the issue, raising questions about whether a deal may be imminent. Ottawa has repeatedly said any further investment will be subject to improvements led by the provinces and territories, and Trudeau suggested this week he plans to look at bilateral deals with provinces.

"What Canadians are experiencing right now is simply not living up to that promise" of universal health care, Trudeau said, "and we're going to change that.
"Yes, we will invest more money -- that's certainly part of the solution -- but we'll also make sure Canadians see improvements and better results."

Trudeau also highlighted Canada's continued support for Ukraine as Russia's invasion nears the one-year mark, along with other international concerns like the gang crisis in Haiti, protests for gender rights in Iran and Afghan refugees fleeing Taliban rule.
The struggles faced by "the global south," from climate change to food insecurity, will also be a focus abroad, he added.
"When the world is more stable, we are all safer and more prosperous, including here at home," he said.


Earlier in the day in Ottawa, Poilievre opened his speech to the Conservative caucus with a very different tone.
"What's happening to our country? Seriously," he asked, pointing to crime he called "out of control," days-long waits at airports during severe winter storms and the rising cost of groceries, rents and mortgages.

"Everything feels broken. Oh — I just offended Justin Trudeau. He gets very angry when I talk about these problems. He thinks that if we don't speak about them out loud, that Canadians will forget that they exist."

He pointed to Trudeau's comments at an annual Liberal holiday part in December, where the prime minister told his supporters that "Canada is not broken."
Poilievre said that speech, made to Liberal caucus members, staffers, consultants and donors, showed Trudeau is out of touch with what average Canadians are facing due to problems the Conservative leader says were created by the government.
"There is pain in the faces you do not see, there is suffering in the voices you do not hear, and there is distress and even chaos in the places you do not go," Poilievre said.
He also promised investigations into government spending, including contracts awarded to consulting firm McKinsey that have amounted to over $100 million since 2015. A House of Commons committee voted earlier this month to probe how the contracts were awarded and what they were for.
But much of Poilievre's speech was focused on crime, telling his caucus that cities across the country are becoming "crime zones" under Trudeau's watch. Recent violent attacks on Toronto's transit system were cited as a key example.
A Statistics Canada report released last November shows the country's homicide rate increased for the third consecutive year, with cities like Winnipeg and Regina boasting the worst rates per capita. The crime severity index was down in 2021 and 2020 after five years of increases.
Trudeau's speech did not touch on public safety. But he spent a significant portion of it contrasting his approach to governing with Poilievre's, which the prime minister said was focused on division and disinformation.
"There are two leaders today that you have to choose between," Trudeau said. "Are we going to make sure we are working for a positive vision of the future, or do we incite people to anger without providing constructive and positive solutions?

"Mr. Poilievre has made his choice.

The anticipation built so much that Trudeau had to leave the country, the poor dear.

 
The anticipation built so much that Trudeau had to leave the country, the poor dear.

Way to go JT. That's what i call "mixing business with pleasure". No one does it better than you. Oh, and by the way, did you get the message about Toronto's mayor resigning??? Does it ring a bell for you as well? Did it give you any idea? No? Oh, so sad!

And in the meantime, your comments are so well placed here:

Must be nice to live in your imaginary world.
People impended to go to work because of demonstration? Really? What about construction work that goes on and on, and in some cases years? Or the miserable Prairie Weather we experience when white outs are occurring in winter and the RCMPs must close off the roads? Or road accidents? Wouldn't you say that those are impairments preventing people for going to work on a temporary basis? I thought a protest was a temporary affair that would have blown over had you had any inkling of what was really the matter?

Oh but of course you have leadership qualities, don't you? You are your father's son after all. Enjoy the limelight while you can. Oh while you're at it, please purchase a lovely cloak with a blooming flower at your lapel. Then you'll look the part! A real movie star!

At first I thought it was a joke.

Haiti needs help and he is providing. What better way to resolve a crisis than offering help from one corrupt faction to another? Where are the other three? All for One and One for All? The demonstrations are about corruptions. In their history, they've been through corrupt governments after corrupt governments.


Good Governance and Corruption in the Caribbean: The Haitian Challenge​


Trudeau pledges more aid for Haiti but stops short of suggesting military intervention​

Trudeau did promise to send Canadian navy vessels to the Haitian coast, to go with an existing plan to provide more armored vehicles

The Canadian Press

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during a news conference after his contribution to the CARICOM meeting at Paradise Island, Bahamas, February 16, 2023.
The Canadian Press Marie-Danielle Smith Published Feb 16, 2023 •
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during a news conference after his contribution to the CARICOM meeting at Paradise Island, Bahamas, February 16, 2023.
NASSAU, Bahamas — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a slate of new supports for Haiti in the Bahamas on Thursday including humanitarian aid and some naval vessels to help with surveillance
But he stopped short of proposing the kind of military force its de facto prime minister is asking for, as experts urge him to put the brakes on growing discussions of foreign intervention.

“Canada is elbows deep in terms of trying to help,” Trudeau said during a news conference Thursday evening.
But we know from difficult experience that the best thing we can do to help is enable the Haitian leadership and the Haitian leadership themselves to be driving their pathway out of this crisis.”
Trudeau told a meeting of 20 Caribbean Community leaders that Canada will provide $12.3 million in new humanitarian assistance for the crisis-torn country and $10 million for the International Office on Migration to support migrants in the region.
Trudeau also promised to send Royal Canadian Navy vessels to the Haitian coast, following surveillance flyovers earlier this year and an existing plan to send more armoured vehicles.

Ottawa will redeploy HMCS Glace Bay and Moncton from West Africa, along with their 90 sailors, the Defence Department said. They will conduct “presence patrols” focused on the waters around the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Canada is also sanctioning two more Haitians, ex-interim president Jocelerme Privert and former political aide Salim Succar. They were added to a list of 15 elites already barred from economic dealings in Canada because of alleged ties to the gangs that have taken over Haiti.
“Until the Haitian elites and leadership are held to account for their role in this horrific crisis in Haiti, we will not be able to deal with it. We have to get to the root causes, not just the symptoms,” Trudeau told reporters. The root is right there in front of his eyes and his answer is to send vessels for surveillance? What for? What will that do to curb the violence on innocent people?
“That’s why we will continue to step up on sanctions and exhort all of our friends and allies to do the same.”

Trudeau said he had a “constructive” conversation with de facto Haitian leader Ariel Henry this morning, who is acting as the country’s prime minister but was not elected to the role. National security adviser Jody Thomas was in the room and taking notes, as were Bob Rae, Canada’s ambassador to the UN, and Sebastien Carriere, its ambassador to Haiti.
Henry took power after the 2021 assassination of former president Jovenel Moise.
During brief remarks open to media, he insisted to Trudeau, speaking in French, that (Henry) he urgently wants the country to work toward transparent elections despite the deteriorating security situation.
Gang activity has ground Haiti’s economy to a halt and hastened a resurgence of cholera. A United Nations report last week detailed “indiscriminate shootings, executions and rapes.” Police have failed to contain the widespread violence.
Henry wants an external security force to quell the chaos, and the United States and United Nations have signaled their support for one, with Washington suggesting Canada could play a leading role. (Of course they did. After all, JT is very generous with our money. )
Some Caribbean countries, including Jamaica and the Bahamas, set the stage for the Nassau meetings by publicly committing to contribute to a force if one is established.
But the people of Haiti themselves have not asked for such a thing, said Jean Saint-Vil, a Haitian McGill University researcher. They suspect it would inherently be an “imperialist” intervention, he said
.
“It consists of an illegal request, because the person who made that request himself is an illegal entity,” Saint-Vil told The Canadian Press in a French interview, noting that Henry stands accused of involvement in his predecessor’s assassination — a charge he has denied.
The Haitian state has been taken hostage.”
Mario Joseph, the managing attorney of the Bureau des avocats internationaux based in Port-au-Prince, said in a November letter to the Caribbean Community that an international intervention would “prop up the unconstitutional, corrupt and repressive de facto government and stifle legitimate dissent.”
Joseph said that the last major UN stabilization mission in Haiti, which ran from 2004 until 2017, “set the stage for today’s spectacular rebound of gang violence” and left Haiti less democratic than when it arrived.
“We do not want our (Caribbean Community) sisters and brothers to come with guns to help powerful countries impose a repressive regime on us.”
The International Crisis Group organization argued in a recent report that the collapse of the Haitian state and the severity of the humanitarian emergency increasingly justifies preparations for a mission.
“But its deployment should hinge on adequate planning to operate in urban areas and support from Haiti’s main political forces, including their firm commitment to work together in creating a legitimate transitional government,” the December report said.
Rae told reporters in Nassau Wednesday evening that a solution has to come from within Haitian society and be executed by Haitian police, though Canada has a role to play, including by supporting police and pushing to stem the flow of illegal arms into the country. Trudeau announced Canada will spend $1.8 million to “strengthen border and maritime security” in the region. (who is he trying to protect? Does he have some stakes in this country?)
We have to come to grips a bit with the history of large military interventions, where basically you’re just pushing aside all of the Haitian institutions and saying, ‘We’ll do this,”’ Rae said.
Rae and Carriere said the current regime must play ball on the opposition’s demands for a truly fair election. “A broader political consensus would greatly help restore people’s confidence in their institutions, including (the police),” Carriere said.
A foreign intervention remains “highly unpopular” in Haiti, said Brian Concannon, executive director and co-founder of the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti.
The troops who go down there are going to be fighting the people that they were sent to protect. And neither the Canadian nor American governments want that on the news, that their mostly white soldiers are shooting at Haitian civilians,” said the former UN official and human rights lawyer.
“So they’re trying to get somebody else to be the face of that mission.”
The public largely sees the unelected government as responsible for the disarray, Concannon said. Though he conceded that it makes sense to liaise with current officials on humanitarian aid, he said it’s time for the international community to stop inviting Haiti’s leadership to the table on a security solution.
During his visit to the Bahamas, Trudeau also met one-on-one with its prime minister and the leaders of Barbados and Jamaica. They discussed issues beyond Haiti, including climate change. Trudeau promised to spend another $44.8 million to respond to the Caribbean’s climate crisis. (And more goodies! )

I went to Haiti in 2016 on a cruise. It was fabulous. The interpreter told us about their economic hardships and how their government is run. They've never had a decent president. They give the workers peanuts for their crops and they themselves sell everything at a much higher price without the workers or farmers getting anything back. All their presidents and rich farm/plantation owners have done that. Their policies are to ensure that workers are not paid adequately so therefore keeping them poor and rooted back to that land without any hope of getting something better. Even their crafts are taken at very small prices and then sold to markets abroad for much more. I do not condone what JT is doing. These people are waking up and want this revolution. It is not pretty, of course. I abhorred the death of innocents but isn't what is going on in the world anyhow? It's only the beginning!

I think it's good to blow off some steam, but it seems like he's really getting to you.

I think we were all taught to expect something very, very different in of this world than what we've come to learn. Rather than a Disney fairytale - or even a decent balance between light and darkness - we've incarnated into some kinda bizarre psychopathic hyperdimensional matrix where human beings are raised to be manipulated, experimented on, and eaten like cattle, etc., with guys like Trudeau appointed as managers of certain feedlot territories.

One of the key challenges that comes from Lobaczewski's research on ponerology is that even though the Trudeaus of the world look human, these people are literally without conscience. So does it makes sense to expect anything different from them or get all worked up about their evil? As an analogy, does it make sense to me to decry a pack of wolves tearing apart a moose and eating it alive when they are predators fulfilling a natural function?

I think this is what Castaneda spoke about in Fire from Within - the reason why the Old Seers were said to have hit the jackpot during the Spanish Conquest was because suddenly there was an influx of petty tyrants. This is a crazy statement - how could the atrocities of the Conquest be seen in a positive light in any way, shape or form? Castaneda's answer is because it is only through friction of facing petty tyrants that we can kindle the inner fire and use the heat to develop our will, self-control, and discipline in preparation for the vastness of the unknown. In terms used by the C's, this is how we grow in Knowledge and Being, or transform our DNA in preparation for the coming transition.

This was put very well in the following post during the plandemic:
While each of us in our respective locations are coming to think about where we are, what we have, what we'll need, what we're doing, who we can network with, and what inner resources we have and will want to build on, and draw upon - I think, also, that there is a lot of knowledge we can look to, and assimilate, to help strengthen ourselves for the coming times.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will all the answers as to how move ahead and shore up all our potential resources. But that's ok. We start or continue on this journey from exactly where we are. And if that means that we have to face up to weaknesses in our strategic enclosures - or our personal weaknesses - then we do that too. It takes strength to be more or less objective about these matters, and every time we face up to what is, and deal with things practically, we have the opportunity to become stronger. Not just for ourselves, but most especially for everyone here and - for those who have yet to see the full battle ahead from the incredibly well informed perspective that we all share.

That said, the following passage from Carlos Castaneda may provide some good rules of thumb as we metabolize all this information. I'm sure there'll be much more to come here, and even from places where we least expect it. We can be open to that too. I've added some comments (in blue) to the familiar section below from The Fire From Within, to qualify his great insights.

**

"Seers are divided into two categories. Those who are willing to exercise self-restraint and can channel their activities toward pragmatic goals, which would benefit other seers and man in general, and those who don't care about self-restraint or about any pragmatic goals. The latter have failed to resolve the problem of self-importance.

Self-importance is not something simple and naive. On the one hand, it is the core of everything that is good in us, and on the other hand, the core of everything that is rotten. To get rid of the self-importance that is rotten requires a masterpiece of strategy.

In order to follow the path of knowledge one has to be very imaginative. In the path of knowledge nothing is as clear as we'd like it to be. Warriors fight self-importance as a matter of strategy, not principle.

Impeccability is nothing else but the proper use of energy. My statements have no inkling of morality. I've saved energy and that makes me impeccable. To understand this, you have to save enough energy yourself.

Warriors take strategic inventories. They list everything they do. Then they decide which of those things can be changed in order to allow themselves a respite, in terms of expending their energy.

The strategic inventory covers only behavioral patterns that are not essential to our survival and well-being.


But certainly taking a material/resource inventory would seem to be part the equation as well.

In the strategic inventories of warriors, self-importance figures as the activity that consumes the greatest amount of energy, hence, their effort to eradicate it.

One of the first concerns of warriors is to free that energy in order to face the unknown with it. The action of rechanneling that energy is impeccability.

The most effective strategy for rechanneling that energy consists of six elements that interplay with one another. Five of them are called the attributes of warriorship: control, discipline, forbearance, timing, and will. They pertain to the world of the warrior who is fighting to lose self-importance. The sixth element, which is perhaps the most important of all, pertains to the outside world and is called the petty tyrant.

And we will certainly have an abundance of those! From government to all the unhinged individuals who will basically be all around us.

A petty tyrant is a tormentor. Someone who either holds the power of life and death over warriors or simply annoys them to distraction.

Petty tyrants teach us detachment. The ingredients of the new seers' strategy shows how efficient and clever is the device of using a petty tyrant. The strategy not only gets rid of self-importance; it also prepares warriors for the final realization that impeccability is the only thing that counts in the path of knowledge.

Usually, only four attributes are played. The fifth, will, is always saved for an ultimate confrontation, when warriors are facing the firing squad, so to speak.

But we needn't think much about the firing squad to realize how much of a factor will plays in all of this. Its ok to have some fear, experience the chills, not know everything around every corner - if we continue to push forward bit, by bit, by bit.

Will belongs to another sphere, the unknown. The other four belong to the known, exactly where the petty tyrants are lodged. In fact, what turns human beings into petty tyrants is precisely the obsessive manipulation of the known.

The interplay of all the five attributes of warriorship is done only by seers who are also impeccable warriors and have mastery over will. Such an interplay is a supreme maneuver that cannot be performed on the daily human stage.

Four attributes are all that is needed to deal with the worst of petty tyrants, provided, of course, that a petty tyrant has been found. The petty tyrant is the outside element, the one we cannot control and the element that is perhaps the most important of them all. The warrior who stumbles on a petty tyrant is a lucky one. You're fortunate if you come upon one in your path, because if you don't you have to go out and look for one.

This is where we can take up the attitude that our experience here at this time really is something of an adventure. And perhaps channel our inner Putin, Luke Skywalker, Neo, Trinity, Batman, whoever. Yes, interactions with petty tyrants (of all stripes) can and will be, to some degree, unpleasant. But its mostly the attitude we take in dealing with them that will help form our successes. And we can learn from each experience.

If seers can hold their own in facing petty tyrants, they can certainly face the unknown with impunity, and then they can even stand the presence of the unknowable.

I think that its one thing to be reading about so many of the changes in the offing - and yet another to see those changes staring us straight in the face. Make no mistake: Things will be getting even more bizarre and the changes ever larger in scope and "drama". So facing all we are, as we're now doing, can help fortify us for those things that, as of yet, are unknowable I think.

Nothing can temper the spirit of a warrior as much as the challenge of dealing with impossible people in positions of power. Only under those conditions can warriors acquire the sobriety and serenity to stand the pressure of the unknowable.

Imagine every half-wit and authoritarian follower out there succumbing to their own worst instincts because of their own pathologies, ponerized thinking, beaming, downloads, etc. and, again, we can see how the probability of having to deal with some of these types can actually help us to "stand the pressure of the unknowable". Not that we should go out looking for it of course.

The perfect ingredient for the making of a superb seer is a petty tyrant with unlimited prerogatives. Seers have to go to extremes to find a worthy one. Most of the time they have to be satisfied with very small fry. Then warriors develop a strategy using the four attributes of warriorship: control, discipline, forbearance, and timing.

On the path of knowledge there are four steps. The first step is the decision to become apprentices. After the apprentices change their views about themselves and the world they take the second step and become warriors, which is to say, beings capable of the utmost discipline and control over themselves. The third step, after acquiring forbearance and timing, is to become men of knowledge. When men of knowledge learn to see they have taken the fourth step and have become seers.

We're all learning and on various steps along this series of steps. Its our job to help one another where we see that another can use some help in seeing.

Control and discipline refer to an inner state. A warrior is self-oriented, not in a selfish way but in the sense of a total examination of the self.

Forbearance and timing are not quite an inner state. They are in the domain of the man of knowledge.

This means that there will be times when patience is needed, and that the time to act has not yet come. Timing can be everything in some in some situations and jumping the gun out of a frenetic need to act can become disadvantageous or even disastrous.

The idea of using a petty tyrant is not only for perfecting the warrior's spirit, but also for enjoyment and happiness. Even the worst tyrants can bring delight, provided, of course, that one is a warrior.

The mistake average men make in confronting petty tyrants is not to have a strategy to fall back on; the fatal flaw is that average men take themselves too seriously; their actions and feelings, as well as those of the petty tyrants, are all-important. Warriors, on the other hand, not only have a well-thought-out strategy, but are free from self-importance. What restrains their self-importance is that they have understood that reality is an interpretation we make.

One of the great advantages we have are the wider and greater informed perspectives that are shared here. Sometimes we just need to get of our own heads, cognitive biases, egocentricities, prejudices, etc. - to make room for better, more constructive, interpretations.

Petty tyrants take themselves with deadly seriousness while warriors do not. What usually exhausts us is the wear and tear on our self-importance. Any man who has an iota of pride is ripped apart by being made to feel worthless.

To tune the spirit when someone is trampling on you is called control. Instead of feeling sorry for himself a warrior immediately goes to work mapping the petty tyrant's strong points, his weaknesses, his quirks of behavior.

To gather all this information while they are beating you up is called discipline. A perfect petty tyrant has no redeeming feature.

This is what we are doing collectively and individually; gathering information while they're planning on beating us up.

Forbearance is to wait patiently--no rush, no anxiety--a simple, joyful holding back of what is due.

A warrior knows that he is waiting and what he is waiting for. Right there is the great joy of warriorship.

Timing is the quality that governs the release of all that is held back. Control, discipline, and forbearance are like a dam behind which everything is pooled. Timing is the gate in the dam.

Forbearance means holding back with the spirit something that the warrior knows is rightfully due. It doesn't mean that a warrior goes around plotting to do anybody mischief, or planning to settle past scores. Forbearance is something independent. As long as the warrior has control, discipline, and timing, forbearance assures giving whatever is due to whoever deserves it.

Given the "triple bad day" that the Rockefellers, and others, are likely to receive at the hands of the universe itself, we needn't waste energy thinking about them getting their comeuppance. It will just simply happen as a consequence of natural processes. In the meantime though we keep putting love, energy and knowledge into the system where we can.

To be defeated by a small-fry petty tyrant is not deadly, but devastating. Warriors who succumb to a small-fry petty tyrant are obliterated by their own sense of failure and unworthiness.

Anyone who joins the petty tyrant is defeated. To act in anger, without control and discipline, to have no forbearance, is to be defeated.

It is not necessary to over-react or to throw a fit in response to something that some petty tyrant does. In fact, it can put one in even greater danger. This is where self awareness and self observation has such a big part to play. "What are my buttons and my triggers? What types of situations get me riled up and what are some likely situations that I may be faced with going forward?".

We can rant, or cry, or be enraged, or shocked; all of these are normal human responses. But we just don't want to make ourselves more vulnerable by showing our inner state and vulnerabilities to those who would only seek to take advantage of them, and of us.


After warriors are defeated they either regroup themselves or they abandon the quest for knowledge and join the ranks of the petty tyrants for life.

There are a series of truths about awareness that have been arranged in a specific sequence for purposes of comprehension. The mastery of awareness consists in internalizing the total sequence of such truths.

The first truth is that our familiarity with the world we perceive compels us to believe that we are surrounded by objects, existing by themselves and as themselves, just as we perceive them, whereas, in fact, there is no world of objects, but a universe of the Indescribable Force's emanations.

Before I can explain the Indescribable Force's emanations, I have to talk about the known, the unknown, and the unknowable.

The unknown is something that is veiled from man, shrouded perhaps by a terrifying context, but which, nonetheless, is within man's reach.

I think that we have come a long way in understanding the normally "unknown" in its "terrifying context" is. And we will continue to do so with a certain amount of faith and hard work that will make the answers available to us.

The unknown becomes the known at a given time. The unknowable, on the other hand, is the indescribable, the unthinkable, the unrealizable. It is something that will never be known to us, and yet it is there, dazzling and at the same time horrifying in its vastness.

We're taking things one step at a time here! :halo:

There is a simple rule of thumb: in the face of the unknown, man is adventurous. It is a quality of the unknown to give us a sense of hope and happiness. Man feels robust, exhilarated. Even the apprehension that it arouses is very fulfilling. The new seers saw that man is at his best in the face of the unknown.

Though this new information we're looking at may arouse some fear and chills and sadness, we can take the perspective of us being more or less active participants in a grand cosmic epic story. I mean, what compares to this story that we're a part of? I for one can't think of anything!

The unknown and the known are really on the same footing, because both are within the reach of human perception. Seers, can leave the known at a given moment and enter into the unknown.

Whatever is beyond our capacity to perceive is the unknowable. And the distinction between it and the knowable is crucial. Confusing the two would put seers in a most precarious position whenever they are confronted with the unknowable. Most of what's out there is beyond our comprehension."

In the meantime though, we can use our imaginations a little to extrapolate from what is knowable, while continuing to do what is right in front of us to do.
 
I think it's good to blow off some steam, but it seems like he's really getting to you.

I think we were all taught to expect something very, very different in of this world than what we've come to learn. Rather than a Disney fairytale - or even a decent balance between light and darkness - we've incarnated into some kinda bizarre psychopathic hyperdimensional matrix where human beings are raised to be manipulated, experimented on, and eaten like cattle, etc., with guys like Trudeau appointed as managers of certain feedlot territories.

One of the key challenges that comes from Lobaczewski's research on ponerology is that even though the Trudeaus of the world look human, these people are literally without conscience. So does it makes sense to expect anything different from them or get all worked up about their evil? As an analogy, does it make sense to me to decry a pack of wolves tearing apart a moose and eating it alive when they are predators fulfilling a natural function?

I think this is what Castaneda spoke about in Fire from Within - the reason why the Old Seers were said to have hit the jackpot during the Spanish Conquest was because suddenly there was an influx of petty tyrants. This is a crazy statement - how could the atrocities of the Conquest be seen in a positive light in any way, shape or form? Castaneda's answer is because it is only through friction of facing petty tyrants that we can kindle the inner fire and use the heat to develop our will, self-control, and discipline in preparation for the vastness of the unknown. In terms used by the C's, this is how we grow in Knowledge and Being, or transform our DNA in preparation for the coming transition.

This was put very well in the following post during the plandemic:
Thank you Ianthatis,
Perhaps he is getting my goat as you say. Some days i have huge anxiety issues while others I'm able to simply get back to my old self.
But it is difficult as the world is rapidly spiraling out of control in front of my eyes. Unfortunately, I've not read Castaneda's yet. I do have one of his books but can't recall which. We're in the process of moving so spend a lot of time with decluttering and putting things in boxes.
I suppose I should simply look at it in a new set of eyes: hard to do but not impossible if i refuse to react to negativity.
I don't agree with the governments or the policies of this world. Nothing however i can do unless I decide to do something drastic which is not who I am.

Thank you for what you input here. I'll read it carefully and reflect. That is why i joined: to wake up and learn more. About myself, about who we really are or can be, and what we need to achieve in order to be where we need to be. Feedback from others and networking certainly helps with new perspective on the way we are heading.

Again, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it.
 
The anticipation built so much that Trudeau had to leave the country, the poor dear.

Prime Ministerial Standard Operating Procedure (PMSOP)

  • If situations come up in Ottawa that may be deemed difficult for you the Prime Minister in regards to negative voter perception management, leave the country on 'important' business and hold a brief press conference to highlight its importance. Check with your secretary and chief of staff for a list of global scheduled events (there is always one going on).

Yeah, it's Tik Tok I know: :whistle:
