If you happened to study pizzagate ten years ago, then none of this is new to you, and at some point people are going to wake up to the fact that all of this is a horrific stage production, with terrible actors, and the citizens are unwitting extras in this loathsome movie with real consequences.
The politicians and bureaucrats are all bought, blackmailed, and bribed and reading literal scripts, and as the show gets deliberately more ludicrous and outrageous (demoralizing mentacide), so does their digital ID, 15 minute CBDC prison get closer to reality. One morning you'll wake up to find they are:
"taking down the scenery, pulling back the curtains, moving the tables and chairs out of the way and showing you the brick wall at the back of the theater.” -Zappa
We have to act to save ourselves, because no one is coming to our rescue. Here is how: We first need to build a platform of local strength, self-reliance, and resiliency. Once done, and we have a solid foundation from which to stand, from there we begin working on taking back the higher levels: county, state, federal.
The following solutions were crowdsouced from various forums across the web. I have distilled them into this:
The solution is to get local, get self-reliant, get the common unity back in community by building webs of resilience with your neighbors, get control of your school boards, mayors and sheriff's office, and town councils (the last places we still hold all of the cards), get a garden in your lawn no matter how small, a single tomato plant is better than nothing, get a well (water is your most important resource hands down), get ready, get moving, get doing, and, if so inclined, get God.
Everyone is looking for a savior instead of looking in the mirror. We are the ones we've been waiting for.
Pizzagate was a key landmark for me. Most people don't know why it was initially called that. It wasn't because of a pizza restaurant in DC. It was because the leaked Podesta emails had these weird out-of-place references to pizza, things like "we'll get the pizza from our usual source in Chicago." (I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something along those lines.) Well, "pizza" was pedophilia slang for underage girls.
Love the suggestion of building local connections and resiliency. Even if none of this Epstein stuff were true, it is still a good idea.
Thank you Mr. Eisenstein. Agree, we have no other choice other than to solve this ourselves when our '“Leaders” are child predators, which is break-the-scale level wickedness. And even if they weren’t, self-reliance is key to personal and national defense.
You got, because the only one on the American citizen’s side is us:
Here are well over a dozen Fox, CBS, ABC, & NBC local news stations all reading an identical script sent down from their singular overlord to crash & burn alternative media in order to enhance the Oligarchy’s Overwhelming threat to our democracy:
Ultimately we are not consuming news. We are consuming a product manufactured by the richest men in human history, and that product is designed to do one thing: keep us so busy fighting our neighbors that you never notice the chains being fastened around our wrists.
From the Congressional Record, January 27, 1917: JP Morgan, Steel, Shipbuilding, and “powder”(gun powder? munitions?) interests hired 12 high-ranking newspaper execs to determine how to “control generally the policy of the daily press” throughout the entire country.
Answer: They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers.
…the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly SUPERVISE AND EDIT INFORMATION….
This policy also included the suppression of everything in opposition to the WISHES of the interests served.
I don't disagree with you and obviously I share your fervor for a new story to come out of this travesty of "modern civilization," but it would be helpful to include a summary of what actually is in the Epstein files since the one video you linked it isn't at at clear what it's referring to? Who was torturing babies? How were the videos made? How do they relate to Epstein and his circle(s)? What were Epstein's ties to Mossad and Israel more generally? To the CIA? None of this is at all clear to me at this point and I'm seeing the "Epstein" meme at this point as black hole for almost any idea of wrongdoing to enter and never come out. I haven't yet done any deep dive into the Epstein materials so it would be good to get a handle on what is real and evidence-based.
There are a few independent researchers who have been deeply investigating Epstein for years. They are thorough in citation of sources and in staying as unbiased as one can with such disturbing material. We certainly would do well to not expect general searches to yield much truth, if the corruption does, as it seems, run as deep and wide as Charles points to. I have found this researcher to be very articulate, level-headed, and thorough: Whitney Webb https://unlimitedhangout.com/author/whitney-webb/ She has written two books on the subject and many, many articles.
The details in the torture is available to you- a quick search will lead you there. Charles has brilliantly tied the past trauma in the world to the present. Personally, I do not want to see babies being torn apart by monsters. Why break your heart?
Here is some research guidance I just picked up from Mare Hieronimus on Facebook: “For years this information has been out there - horrifying as it is. Pizza Gate, Out of Shadows, the work of Ben Swann…. It’s time for everyone to deep dive and throw away their hatred of the CIA term conspiracy theorist to begin to discern more clearly what has actually been occurring.
When we look at the popular culture, also completely controlled, and we witness what is amplified, glorified, who is put upon pedestals, it becomes all too clear.
Beyond the horror, there is something so terribly important and relieving about the truth coming to light. In this way, this is a most sacred time - and what we do with it personally is of such importance. Do we continue to turn towards the sickness, or do we move to purge it from its roots. 🙏🏼
Yes, I feel the same. I can't find any credible references or evidence about much of this. The linked IG isn't very helpful. Can you please cite sources and references for those of us trying to learn and understand with a level of clarity.
Read the other responses and responses to the responses in Tam's thread here. The problem is that "credible" is constructed in order to preserve dominant narratives. So you have to venture a bit outside the kind of credibility that the system defines.
In my experience, X is the best place to find the truth. Of course, not everything on X is the truth. But you will NOT find the truth on legacy media. Not yet. So you must start cruising X, and use your discernment to determine what is real. And forget AI and Snopes. That is just propaganda regurgitation. Many of us have been looking into this for years now. Time to start doing some research on your own. And do be careful not to expose yourself to the photos and audio that you will never be able to get out of your brain. I am treading very lightly.
Lars if X is such garbage, why do world leaders including ECB head post directly there ? Twitter has always been the place. Yes we swim in a sea of mis information but that's everywhere. "Media literacy" isn't trusting a single platform, but how to evaluate pieces of news and information. Anyway have a good one...
I just read through a bunch of the comments in response to you Tam. I encourage other readers to look at some of the sources people are suggesting here in order to get a better view of the evidence and scope.
It is hard for me to summarize, because so much of it is hints and patterns. Obvious code words. Global elites talking about "grape soda and pizza" in completely inappropriate contexts. Epstein obsessing about whether his "beef jerky" has been kept on ice. But there are also explicit mentions of things like torture videos. And how much they enjoyed the young ladies at a party then saying well actually the ladies were one year olds. the files are the nucleus of a whole constellation of material. For example, recent revelation of the Deutsche Bank whisltleblower who was fired for flagging Epstein and Kushner. https://www.levernews.com/the-compliance-officer-who-flagged-epstein-and-lost-her-job/
Yes, same thoughts going around in my head. I also distrust what our government tells us, and they are telling us to trust the providence of these materials....
I embrace the hatred that comes up in me in response to these horrendous actions. I want them to suffer for their sins, and then i remember that this is exactly what they are doing; externalizing their own pain and suffering on others.
In our humanness we are each victims and perpetrators, we are all light and dark, right and wrong, good and bad. When i sit with my anger, righteousness, arrogance of them, i see that i am merely adding fuel to the fire of separation. When i remember they are acting out their own pain, my anger softens and compassion returns. 98% of men who beat were beaten, it is up to us, each of us, to shift this pattern if we truly desire healing. When i feel the anger and hatred that arises from within me, i see it is the same hatred i have held towards myself, an inter-generational hatred i learned as a child.
And i find that the only sanity, the only peace, the only true healing is compassion; for them, for us, for you and me. And in that compassion, peace doesn't 'return', rather, i return to the peace that has never left. And from this place of loving compassion, i know which inspired action to take. And it becomes loving action. I know for myself, this is the only true path, this is the only solution, just as it has always been.
Yes, exactly, hate against perpetrators ultimately is hatred toward ourselves, it solves nothing. Bernhard Guenther also has a brilliant new essay on that subject. The problem is that most are still afraid of their own shadows.
Hi Isabel, thanks for your reply. Sometimes i get a gut feeling that the more of us who work on our shadows, the easier it is for others. What do you think/feel?
Hi Joe, You didn't ask me but i think your gut feeling is spot on. Rupert Sheldrake also agrees, according to his work on Morphogenetic Fields.
Every torch carried down into the "dungeons of despair" casts a light on what's been hiding there for ages, making it more visible for all who dare to follow. As you wrote in your comment above, we've all been there, done that, we've all been victims as well as perpetrators. Our individual shadows may show themselves in different forms, but what lies underneath is as universally human as the spark of eternal Light that ignited our torches in the first place.
(PS: I'm not sure where this came from, but it wanted out so here it is! Let's love life and all its wonders!)
You may have compassion, I do not. I don't wish them tortured as they have tortured, but I wish them removed from this planet by any means necessary. And I am not so sure that they are actually human.
Hi Ann, I too have wished them away, far away, ideally all to the same hell. But what if they already have, and this is the hell they've been sent to? Human or not, clearly they are suffering and reflect the same hatred, greed, arrogance that is also in me. All the prayers and songs i grew up with, banishment was the solution. But i no longer believe that.
Most of the time i am alternating between your and Joes perspective. What always wins in the end, though, is the certainty that love is a powerful "weapon" which the dark side cannot wield. That certainty is like the only clear beacon i can distinguish - most of the time. Sort of leaves me no choice but to keep trying to reach it.
But including some love in this reply to you is very, very easy! :-)
Excellent piece. Bernhard Guenther also just wrote a good piece on the subject of the lack of our shadow work and that it must happen for the Beautiful World to become possible. For me, this feels quite personal, because I come from a family background just as described. At age 20, I spoke out, and it had consequences, some of which were equally traumatic and it was the real reason why I had to emigrate in order to live an authentic life. I also never told anyone that during a group therapy session in 1992, I met someone who grew up in a satanic cult. What I remember most is her screams. I remembered them fully again as I read your words on the videos. They shook me to the core. She also said her brother couldn't handle the abuse and became schizophrenic. I was still unhealed at the time also, so my brain simply shut out and forgot the actual details of her abuse, as I am sure all the others in that small group did the same. It is simply too unbearable for a psyche to handle this, it must protect itself. I hope it is enough for many to just accept intellectually the reality of this abuse, just don't deny it, it does exist. That's all we really need, we don't need punishment, we just need to be *heard and believed*, and then we need the *change*, so that this never ever happens again to someone else.
You are brave, in ways visible and invisible. Thank you. Your speaking out in the face of risk, and your willingness to heal, has a bigger impact on the world than most of us might realize.
Reality broke for me quite some time ago. A million and one things. I'm quite certain I'm totally sane. I don't want to "punish" anyone. I don't know if what you've seen of the Epstein files is true. I know there's all kinds of evil shit in the world, I've seen it. How to stop it is the question. All I can do is try. I may have help, it sure seems like it.
"The old story, the Story of Separation, narrates human progress as an ascent toward greater and greater control—over nature, the body, society, the genes, the brain, biology, matter. Control is the solution to every problem. Find the culprit. Find the pathogen."
You might as well say at the end, "find the Epstein." It's over there! As long as the culprits are over there, so will the "indigenous practices" and the unity stuff you talk about. The problem is that we talk about these things as if they are over there.
As a young woman I was preyed upon by my male athletic coach. I was a top US athlete. This coach wasn't an "Epstein." This was a young man that everyone, including the parents, thought was great and who was "great with the kids." That anyone should be at all whip-lashed by "Epstein" is an admission of something.
I'm tired of the hyperventilating. This mess is too entrenched to consider "alternatives." We bring the same entrenched mess to the alternatives until the alternatives look like a new iteration of the old. I'm wary of anyone who wants to solve it.
"Find the Epstein!" Yes, that is exactly the point I was making. Same pattern of response.
The alternatives that appear most quickly are indeed reiterations of at least some aspect of the old story. That is why it is so important to stay in the space between stories for a while longer.
"The trap is to confuse the symptom and cause; in this case to believe the evil individuals are the cause of humanity's present degradation and suffering."
YES! 'It's not ME...I don't rape and torture babies...it's him over THERE.'
The true CAUSE of evil in yogic philosophy is ignorance: ignorance of our true nature, which is both divine/'good' and depraved/'evil'. I would say DENIAL is a branch of ignorance. Denial of the evil that lurks within each of us. And when its internal origin (and need for 'expression') goes unacknowledged, it projects itself OUTWARD.
Shadow work, I say. That is what's next for this entire planet.
Shadow work. It's gonna get messy y'all. Hold the line. Repent. Pray. Looking forward to the next writing, Charles. God bless you. 🙏🏽💚
Thank you for this article Charles. I agree that we must all face our own inner monsters in order for this to end. I get frustrated when all people want to do is say "hang the culprits" without recognizing that we all have our own work to do in order for this to end. You explained so well the way I have been thinking.
Yes, but what DO we do with the culprits? Give them hugs and some cookies and they'll realize the error of their ways? Imo, they do need hanging. And I am far from perfect, as we all are far from perfect, but I am NOT raping and torturing babies. There is a difference between entities who engage in that sort of evil and those of us who do not and never would or could.
No, not hugs and cookies. The most important thing is to prevent them from continuing to do it. They must be removed from power and exposed fully. Transparrency is more important than punishment. The idea of punishment is a kind of trap. It satisfies something within us. When the perpetrator is punished, we think, "Great. That's finished. Justice is done." And then we move on, without looking deeper at how this could have happened in the first place. Therefore, we must make our top priority not punishment, but making this stop.
Hanging makes it stop. I am not viewing it as punishment per se, but as a way to make (at least for the entity hanged) it stop. I believe it is owed to the victims.
Now i find myself replying to you again. I hope you don't feel hunted! My "dream" of what to do with the culprits is to completely strip them of their wealth and power and to return those assets to the people they were stolen from. Money is, in my view, nothing but stored energy waiting to be allocated. Allocating the culprits' money into healing the damage they have caused while collecting all that wealth might bring the beginning of a new balance in the world. In my dream, it does!
But how do you return something like a murdered child's life? Or a tortured/raped child's innocence? These children have been destroyed and cannot be made whole. Money is not going to repair or 'heal the damage' that has been done to them. Failure to permanently remove these predators from society allows them to continue doing what they do. I am not concerned with compassion toward them, but rather compassion toward their victims, past and future.
I watched the movie Nuremberg a few nights ago. The film clearly drives home the reality of power and depravity. Thank you for this post, Chales. Until we understand how certain societal systems fuel the dark side of human behavior, we will keep repeating these kinds of horrific patterns.
Thanks, dear Charles, for your courage to tell the truth! Wishing it was beyond belief, I fear it is not. You are right, we can't deny it, we must own our collective role in it, and find a way to heal our wounds by giving them attention. After that, we need to find a way to generate love for all involved, while not falling prey to the slippery slope of hatred and denial. Thank you for what you've written over the years! It provided me with a lot of insight, hope, and courage!❤️
Exquisite as always, Charles, but I simply cannot imagine any coherence from a populace who so readily accepted the poison needles and a livestreamed genocide. And 'they' have two devastating cards to play; to quote Gerald Celente "when all else fails, they take you to war" (cue Iran) and the faked alien invasion (cue Obama). Prepare accordingly.
They will undoubtedly try a war. The alien invasion idea isn't going to work though.
As for the needles, I think that was a big awakening for a lot of people. More people believed what they were told in 2020 than in 2022. Not everyone woke up, but a lot did. And even those who still profess to believe that the "vaccines saved millions of lives" thanks to "Science" don't believe it as fervently. They said they believed the CDC, but did they, by the time the eighth booster rolled around?
Many have lived through frazzledrip and the like for years, decades. The revelations come to us each in their own time. Patience as each reaches an awakened state. And yet the revolution did not occur—those of use living amidst the “normal,” have prophecized this moment of renewal once a critical mass was secured. And yet I worry that people will continue to diverge in this immense opportunity for creative renewal and reform based on entrenched and oppositional ideologies, seeded themselves by this dark shit.

🙏🏼 Yes to looking in the mirror. And from there, “through Love,, all pain will turn to medicine” as Rumi knew. 🪞
We are the ones we've been waiting for. Exactly TriTorch well said. Now we need to act.

Yes.
From the Congressional Record, January 27, 1917: JP Morgan, Steel, Shipbuilding, and “powder”(gun powder? munitions?) interests hired 12 high-ranking newspaper execs to determine how to “control generally the policy of the daily press” throughout the entire country.

Now is our most vulnerable moment, as the empire and emperors stand naked and perverted for all to see.
How will be act? I hope our love exceeds our love of hate.
Charles, your writing sometimes feels like a supportive hand holding mine, leading me to I peer into dark corners i mostly chose not to look at.
Also- Cary. Beautiful piece!! Thanks for sharing it
Excellent piece. Bernhard Guenther also just wrote a good piece on the subject of the lack of our shadow work and that it must happen for the Beautiful World to become possible. For me, this feels quite personal, because I come from a family background just as described. At age 20, I spoke out, and it had consequences, some of which were equally traumatic and it was the real reason why I had to emigrate in order to live an authentic life. I also never told anyone that during a group therapy session in 1992, I met someone who grew up in a satanic cult. What I remember most is her screams. I remembered them fully again as I read your words on the videos. They shook me to the core. She also said her brother couldn't handle the abuse and became schizophrenic. I was still unhealed at the time also, so my brain simply shut out and forgot the actual details of her abuse, as I am sure all the others in that small group did the same. It is simply too unbearable for a psyche to handle this, it must protect itself. I hope it is enough for many to just accept intellectually the reality of this abuse, just don't deny it, it does exist. That's all we really need, we don't need punishment, we just need to be *heard and believed*, and then we need the *change*, so that this never ever happens again to someone else.
You are brave, in ways visible and invisible. Thank you. Your speaking out in the face of risk, and your willingness to heal, has a bigger impact on the world than most of us might realize.
The most important thing I have read for years, maybe forever....and I am 85.
Reality broke for me quite some time ago. A million and one things. I'm quite certain I'm totally sane. I don't want to "punish" anyone. I don't know if what you've seen of the Epstein files is true. I know there's all kinds of evil shit in the world, I've seen it. How to stop it is the question. All I can do is try. I may have help, it sure seems like it.
"The old story, the Story of Separation, narrates human progress as an ascent toward greater and greater control—over nature, the body, society, the genes, the brain, biology, matter. Control is the solution to every problem. Find the culprit. Find the pathogen."
You might as well say at the end, "find the Epstein." It's over there! As long as the culprits are over there, so will the "indigenous practices" and the unity stuff you talk about. The problem is that we talk about these things as if they are over there.
As a young woman I was preyed upon by my male athletic coach. I was a top US athlete. This coach wasn't an "Epstein." This was a young man that everyone, including the parents, thought was great and who was "great with the kids." That anyone should be at all whip-lashed by "Epstein" is an admission of something.
I'm tired of the hyperventilating. This mess is too entrenched to consider "alternatives." We bring the same entrenched mess to the alternatives until the alternatives look like a new iteration of the old. I'm wary of anyone who wants to solve it.
"Find the Epstein!" Yes, that is exactly the point I was making. Same pattern of response.
The alternatives that appear most quickly are indeed reiterations of at least some aspect of the old story. That is why it is so important to stay in the space between stories for a while longer.
Erica, I am so sorry that happened to you.
"The trap is to confuse the symptom and cause; in this case to believe the evil individuals are the cause of humanity's present degradation and suffering."
YES! 'It's not ME...I don't rape and torture babies...it's him over THERE.'
The true CAUSE of evil in yogic philosophy is ignorance: ignorance of our true nature, which is both divine/'good' and depraved/'evil'. I would say DENIAL is a branch of ignorance. Denial of the evil that lurks within each of us. And when its internal origin (and need for 'expression') goes unacknowledged, it projects itself OUTWARD.
Shadow work, I say. That is what's next for this entire planet.
Shadow work. It's gonna get messy y'all. Hold the line. Repent. Pray. Looking forward to the next writing, Charles. God bless you. 🙏🏽💚
Thank you for pointing toward the real place to take responsibility.
Charles - This is surely your best ever writing! Thank you so much! Your vision is blessedly clear.
Thank you for this article Charles. I agree that we must all face our own inner monsters in order for this to end. I get frustrated when all people want to do is say "hang the culprits" without recognizing that we all have our own work to do in order for this to end. You explained so well the way I have been thinking.
Yes, but what DO we do with the culprits? Give them hugs and some cookies and they'll realize the error of their ways? Imo, they do need hanging. And I am far from perfect, as we all are far from perfect, but I am NOT raping and torturing babies. There is a difference between entities who engage in that sort of evil and those of us who do not and never would or could.
No, not hugs and cookies. The most important thing is to prevent them from continuing to do it. They must be removed from power and exposed fully. Transparrency is more important than punishment. The idea of punishment is a kind of trap. It satisfies something within us. When the perpetrator is punished, we think, "Great. That's finished. Justice is done." And then we move on, without looking deeper at how this could have happened in the first place. Therefore, we must make our top priority not punishment, but making this stop.
Hanging makes it stop. I am not viewing it as punishment per se, but as a way to make (at least for the entity hanged) it stop. I believe it is owed to the victims.
Now i find myself replying to you again. I hope you don't feel hunted! My "dream" of what to do with the culprits is to completely strip them of their wealth and power and to return those assets to the people they were stolen from. Money is, in my view, nothing but stored energy waiting to be allocated. Allocating the culprits' money into healing the damage they have caused while collecting all that wealth might bring the beginning of a new balance in the world. In my dream, it does!
They also need to be subjected to total transparency.
But how do you return something like a murdered child's life? Or a tortured/raped child's innocence? These children have been destroyed and cannot be made whole. Money is not going to repair or 'heal the damage' that has been done to them. Failure to permanently remove these predators from society allows them to continue doing what they do. I am not concerned with compassion toward them, but rather compassion toward their victims, past and future.
I watched the movie Nuremberg a few nights ago. The film clearly drives home the reality of power and depravity. Thank you for this post, Chales. Until we understand how certain societal systems fuel the dark side of human behavior, we will keep repeating these kinds of horrific patterns.
Thanks, dear Charles, for your courage to tell the truth! Wishing it was beyond belief, I fear it is not. You are right, we can't deny it, we must own our collective role in it, and find a way to heal our wounds by giving them attention. After that, we need to find a way to generate love for all involved, while not falling prey to the slippery slope of hatred and denial. Thank you for what you've written over the years! It provided me with a lot of insight, hope, and courage!❤️
Exquisite as always, Charles, but I simply cannot imagine any coherence from a populace who so readily accepted the poison needles and a livestreamed genocide. And 'they' have two devastating cards to play; to quote Gerald Celente "when all else fails, they take you to war" (cue Iran) and the faked alien invasion (cue Obama). Prepare accordingly.
They will undoubtedly try a war. The alien invasion idea isn't going to work though.
As for the needles, I think that was a big awakening for a lot of people. More people believed what they were told in 2020 than in 2022. Not everyone woke up, but a lot did. And even those who still profess to believe that the "vaccines saved millions of lives" thanks to "Science" don't believe it as fervently. They said they believed the CDC, but did they, by the time the eighth booster rolled around?
"What if they held a war...and nobody came."
Many have lived through frazzledrip and the like for years, decades. The revelations come to us each in their own time. Patience as each reaches an awakened state. And yet the revolution did not occur—those of use living amidst the “normal,” have prophecized this moment of renewal once a critical mass was secured. And yet I worry that people will continue to diverge in this immense opportunity for creative renewal and reform based on entrenched and oppositional ideologies, seeded themselves by this dark shit.
