>In January-July, the United States increased purchases of Russian fertilizers to a record $944 million.

Haha.

If you read the discussion section on that article there are some very critical comments, Chrome translated:

"The United States imported a record amount of fertilizer from Russia. And at the same time, Lavrov declares that the United States is directing the war in Ukraine... Hmm, this is the very moment when you can catch cognitive dissonance."

"Russia is being surrendered without firing a shot. I just can’t understand, what about the President? He doesn’t understand that he is trading with the enemy and prolonging his existence. Same thing with uranium! The existence of Russia as a state is at stake, a total war of destruction has been declared on you! And you?"

"Why are we doing this? For what? Maybe they sold it for dollars? But of course! What else? For rupees or what? This is some kind of double game, some kind of duplicity of our government."

Because many in both the US and Russia are working together to make money off the beautiful war.

A memory: in the 70s, as young teenagers claiming a first bit of worldly wisdom, we voiced our worry about the cold war and the fear of nukes raining down from the USSR over the north pole, our Canadian backyard.

Hearing this, Mom turned her head and calmly said “ You do know, don’t you, that we’re Feeding Them..”

My, how tables have turned. Is it too early to predict that someday the East will rescue the West, in a reversal of WW2?

It very much looks for me like the fall of an Empire after watching this piece about the fall of the Roman Empire: https://youtu.be/Srb2ooB9wIY?t=747

The whole thing is quite interesting, but Chapter 3 reminds me so much about how things develop today. We are stumbling right into this Feudalism.

Greetings to all of you!

I wish you all the best.

Below is a copy/paste of a link I sent during the last comment session:

The excellent French intellectual Lucien Cerise has just published an article related to that very excellent from Riley.

He has been invited three times by the excellent Yurie Roșca in Chisinau and this year he just sent an article and a video intervention after his invitation.

I think that this article might spark a debate among Riley's distinguished readers and commenters and most probably Riley himself.

Since most of you can use a DeepL like translator, I let you translate it in your own language.

I could accept Lucien's argument about the "antiglobalist" nature of the Russian government (in spite of it's "need" to become almost its enemy 's twin for the sake of fighting with that enemy on equal terms) if, for example, the Covid shots produced and injected by Russia and its allies in their own citizens and in other people around the world were all of them just placebos.or vitaminas or something like that... BUT THEIR SHOTS ACTUALLY KILLED AND INJURED MANY OF THEIR CITIZENS AND MANY OF THAT OTHER PEOPLE.

Was that "neccesary" to engage in battle with its enemy in "equal terms"?

And this is just one example.

And the other "detail" is that SBERBANK, the first bank of Russia, is leading the CYBER POLLYGON EVENT, a Davos major project.

So I"m sorry, but it seems that even excellent intellectuals like Cerise are prey of the "wishful thinking pandemic" around Putin & Company.

Well, I find living in this dysfunctional world extremely difficult. I know you and others here feel the same. It can't be fixed, not supposed to be fixed, but ,. I sense we all know this, as we are subject to the dysfunctional "leaders", doing their fix, when they are just as dysfunctional as they insist we become. We are the remnants of the "almost insane.

Hello Mary, humanity as a collective is undergoing a rite of passage. The old world is rotting and falling away and a new one is being born. During a rite of passage the initiates have to go through several processes of transformation to prepare them for the New World. One of those is introspection. What have WE done to bring this decrepit state of affairs about? 'WE' have supported centralization in various forms and that is now leading is into one ultimate grand zone of centralization - all supported by the vast majority of citizens in the Global North especially. The only antidote is decentralization (logically speaking), but how many people living in country-blocs are interested in that? Very few. How long will it take for people to see the Light of Decentralization? Things will have to get much worse first before that happens. In the meantime Globalism and Globalization [global centralization] rule the day - and the citizens LOVE IT!

Most so called "citizens" just have no clues about what is going on... How could they "love it"?

People love globalization consciously - can you honestly say that is not true?

Extract from my most recent chapter:

"The truth, though, is also that in today's digitally saturated world, many people would rather be distracted than better informed because that simplifies their lives. Said differently, there are significant numbers of citizens worldwide who wholeheartedly support globalism. The trickle-down effects of globalisation have benefited them sufficiently, leaving them with little reason to question its merits.

Furthermore, the younger generations have very little conceptualisation of anything outside of the globalisation paradigm because it was before their time. It could be argued, though, that the general lack of interest within the public at large (for whatever reasons) has inevitably contributed to a growing democratic deficit in the implementation of global policies everywhere.

That's not to detract from the fact that top-down global policy-making frameworks and institutions have increasingly excluded the public from active participation over time. This trend has become especially evident since 2020, with uniform global solutions being implemented across the globe, first with regards to new global health related policies, and subsequently extending to new global climate and environmental policies."

https://energyshifts.net/the-bottleneck-ahead/

"Citizens" are not exempt from blame at all and ignorance is no excuse (how convenient for "citizens" to always blame it on the powers that be). "Activists" campaigning for policies that have gradually lead to the world now imploding upon itself have always been present and they have all contributed to the end-game we are now in - the literal destruction of the world.

Just look at how many people are blindly campaigning for environmental policies that will wreak much more havoc on the planet than previous industrial revolutions ever did because of the amount of mining it would take to make a complete energy transition from fossil fuels to so-called "renewable energies" (also known as "green" or "clean" energies). Yet, very many "citizens" are very happy indeed to drink the green cool-aid!

Most people are sick, depressive, poisoned, dumbed down... How could they consciously "love"?... Love is health...

I know what you mean Bugey, but everything that happens at the end of the cycle is a test. In the face of it all are we able to endure spiritually? This is the real test - forget about the rest.

The developed and developing world is at the highest state of modernization ever achieved on the planet in history - and yet there's much despair - as you pointed out. That's because of a lack of balance (spirituality).

I can consciously say that people don't "love globalisation" because most of us have no clue about what is going on and are just lost. The digital world has dumbed most people down. Most are unable to have an attention span above a few dozain of seconds, their IQ has decreased. They don't read books anymore (I have just finished Alain damasion la Zone Du Dehors and have started Dostoievsky's The Brother Karamasov).

Anyway, I will take some time to read your blog.

I can strongly recommend Gustave le Bon's "La Psychologie des Foules" (The Crowd) if you haven't read it yet. It's worth studying like a textbook as it explains exactly what's unfolding in the world today - and it shows clearly that it's because of group-think - the majority always going along with the mainstream, with only a few individuals being the exceptions.

The majority is bringing the world to an end - as the central American prophecies have predicted.

Expand full comment

When I speak of globalization I'm speaking mainly of the global consumer culture (which everybody LOVES!! - with few exceptions - whether in Moscow, Tbilisi, New York, London, Sao Paolo or Cape Town), whereas globalism would refer to the central planners who are in charge of centralization. If globalization were so unpopular than how on earth did it get so far and why is it that globalism and globalists are totally in charge of the world (more or less). It's all because of majority-citizen support - globally. This is a reality we have to face.

I understand what you mean thought (I'm also a more thoughtful type and a serious reader), but my take on it is that people have lowered their own IQ's and have brought about their own ignorance and inner-demise by voluntarily embracing digital devices that fry their brains. It was not imposed upon them at first. It's only because so many people VOLUNTARILY embraced the digital culture that the controllers could take advantage of that uptake for their own furthering of their global goals. And even with all the warning lights flashing and all the alarms going off at the same time the digital natives (young and old) are as happy as you can get! (with the odd murmur here and there). "WE" citizens (the majority) have brought this state of affairs actively about.

Thanks for the discussion, Bugey.

In France we are subjected to the EUSSR, but in 2005, we voted against that system. Sarkozy Nagy Bocsa (his mother is a Salonicky and his step father a High level CIA) forced us into that ignominy. Most rejected it and even now more and more people are against it.

This is sort of both odd and amusing: "When Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, a trans woman from Nevada, came to Ukraine in March 2022 she planned to report on refugees. However, she ended up fighting for Ukraine and is now a spokesperson for the country's territorial defense force...

On a visit to the studio she operates from, a secret location in Kiev, Sarah smiled as she said her unit's mantra is to "embrace the hate of the Russians".

It's interesting to note, before landing in Kiev

she/he was Michael Cirillo who in Poland advocated for "free speech." Another inalienable right surgically removed not only in Kiev but throughout the West rendering liberal democracies as autocratic as the government’s they oppose, but now choose to replicate. It's a small world after all.

Your no-life Filipino correspondent

In ASEAN the other week, where Philippines is (my area) overlord Klaus Schwab has visited our region and would want us to merge with State & Corporate Power.

...So yes it is not just reaching in Eurasia but also down here in SouthEast Asia.

https://expose-news.com/2023/09/08/schwab-promotes-the-merging-of-state-and-corporates/

"The 43rd ASEAN Summit was held in Jakarta from 5 to 7 September 2023. On its website, the Summit is described as “bilateral meetings between the leaders of the attending countries.” Yet Schwab, who represents large corporations, muscled his way in.

As Australian politician Craig Kelly tweeted yesterday: “Why is Klaus holding court at the current ASEAN summit in Indonesia? And why is Klaus also advocating for a merger of state and corporate power?”

Speaking at the ASEAN Summit on Tuesday, Schwab said that with the fusion of corporation and state, what he calls “public-private cooperation,” we would see a shift from “the era of capitalism to the era of talentism,” where innovation becomes the “key competitive factor.” He had already explained that in merging the corporations and state, “governments still provide direction but business provides the innovative power.”

"Schwab was littering the stage at the 2022 ASEAN Summit as well. As with this year, questions were raised then as to why an unelected leader of the World Economic Forum, a non-governmental organisation, is present among democratically elected officials."

What is REALLY going on in the world? A lot of people are starting to ask this question, because something very strange is going on and a lot of people can sense that. I am able to present some answers for those who are open-minded:

In a nutshell: We are at the very end (in the final 10 years) of a 26,000-year cycle that is 'resetting' in 2032 and that has a number of implications:

Extract:

"Mass centralisation could also be understood with regards to the transitional phases between ages within the context of a certain category of anthropology, which describes how structure gives way to non-structure and anti-structure in the middle-phase of Great Transitions. The effect is that structure (from a metaphysical standpoint, which affects human thinking) becomes more fluid due to the aforementioned cycle's structural energy petering out as it declines towards its end, while new structure has not arrived yet, so boundaries and separation would appear much less obvious or desired.

The trend towards the formation of Centralisation Zones (for example European Union, Eurasian Union, BRICS, North American Union and so forth) could be viewed as a phenomenon that arrives towards the end of a very long cycle. End-of-cycle energies have centralising and collectivising influences on human consciousness that are stronger than decentralising ones. This is a result of the current 26,000-year Precessional Cycle declining towards its lowest endpoint between the years 2027 and 2032. Although centralisation is nothing new, there is something different about it this time.

Due to the extent that globalisation has expanded along with the phenomenal reach and coverage of present-day global interconnectivity, the world has become a much smaller place, to the extent that all the Zones of Centralisation could now potentially end up being incorporated into one all-encompassing Zone of Centralisation (which is a process seemingly already in progress). In theory, the end-of-cycle energies are sufficiently conducive for such an objective to be an appealing prospect in a number of quarters, but whether that would actually manifest (fully) in practice remains to be seen."

https://energyshifts.net/the-bottleneck-ahead/

What people need to understand is that the vast majority of individuals in the Global North and Global South support and have supported the movement towards mass global centralization, meaning democratic support for country groupings such as the E.U. , BRICS, African Union, North American Union and so on. Among the (so-called) alternative media there's much more support FOR BRICS than against it, Riley's blog being one among very few exceptions. So where does that leave us? We are in the hands of the cycle - and the prognosis is a fracturing process that will most likely unfold post-2032 for cyclic reasons:

https://energyshifts.net/the-cyclic-reordering-of-civilizations/

Esotericism has two sides - the occultic dark side (that the alt-media derides) and a positive side.

Cycle-science (the study of ancient cycles) is an aspect of the positive side and it has the capacity to guide humans through The Greatest Shift in 26,000 Years. The guidebook is free to download:

So what happened 26000 years ago?

Expand full comment

Something similar to what's starting to unfold now, because with cycles history always returns - a transition period from one cycle to the next - and transitions always have similarities. On a 26,000 year cycle it is too long ago to use it as a very detailed model though. However, there is a 256-year cycle that gives a very good idea of what we can expect from around 2030-onward with events that are historically verifiable by looking at recurring historical pattens that come around every 256 years - the next due date is in 2032:

Good day,

I read the book "navigating the greatest shift in 26000 years".

A lot of matters addressed in the book were new to me or are difficult to verify.

But I have been saddened by mentions of the (1) the club of Rome as being a trustworthy source, (2) the rosicruciferians, (3) fossil fuels and peak oil (4), Covid and spanish flu as natural events, (5) population decline, (6) weather crises...

It seems to me that most of these matters are pushed down our throats by who ever wishes to control our minds...

Was this book part of the same ?

"It seems to me that most of these matters are pushed down our throats by who ever wishes to control our minds... Was this book part of the same?"

No, it was not, but that is for you to decide for yourself - and the only way you or any other person can come to a conclusion about that is to start doing your own research into every subject that you feel is being pushed down your throat. That would require a lot of reading and study, which is what I have already done and presented in the book. At the end of the day every person is on his and her own journey and must decide the truth for themselves, I am only able to guide some people in the right direction, but it's still up to them to decide which road is the right one.

(6) I have simply mentioned severe weather events factually - they happened and I provided resources. A few years ago it was mainly in the Southern Hemisphere that there were major droughts and fires for example (remember the wild fires in Australia?), NOW it's been happening in the Northern Hemisphere.

Keep in mind there are natural cycles that can affect climate such as solar cycles that every so many years lead to droughts and fires, which is not to say that it's always natural (sometimes there is arson too), but it's also not always unnatural. Not everything is a conspiracy but many things are influenced by them - we need to practice discernment when evaluating these issues. Also, to conclude, the entire book is basically a reflection on the 2012 End of the Maya Calendar phenomenon, so some knowledge of those events and the predictions made is required for context.

(5) Can you point out where in the book I mentioned population decline and specify the issue?

(4) Major pandemics are cyclic events, regardless of whether they are natural or unnatural (i.e. fake/false) - they tend to happen every 50/52 years, which is the general observation I made in the book. I did not clarify that I thought Covid was fake, because it was a pandemic scenario regardless in terms of the general reaction to it. Perhaps in a future edition I will clarify this point - thanks for mentioning it.

(2) You did not specify why you find my use of Rosicrucian resources as problematic. Just to be clear, just like the Club of Rome or any other sources I use, I do not reject sources just because I do not agree with all they say. The quotes from Rosicrucian sources I used refer to ancient knowledge held by ancient religions such as the Hindu Vedic religion and the Egyptian cosmologies - it's not Rosicrucian knowledge - they just collected the knowledge from a variety of very ancient sources and compiled them. Open-mindedness is required when one studies esoteric concepts and ancient knowledge is sometimes only found in "strange places", however I would rather list them as a resource than other mystery schools, because their foundations are Christian.

Hello Bernard and thank you for reading the book and your feedback and inquiries. I will try my best to clarify the issues you mention:

I have provided as many references as possible in the back of the book for the matters in it. If there are any particular matter that I have not referenced, or you feel it's not sufficient as verification, please let me know and I will provide sources.

I will now respond to the points you mentioned one by one in separate comments:

(1) I am a very critical thinker so I do not "throw the baby out with the bathwater" - I don't reject everything in a report because some parts are ideological or incorrect - I check all the facts one by one. While the Club of Rome's reports are very much geared to globalism and basically written as guidebooks for policymakers to that effect, some of their forecasts are indeed correct ...

The Club or Rome was correct that the world would reach peak liquid fossil fuels during this decade. More generally the world is also going to experience shortages in other resources too, in particular in a range of minerals - in other words there will be some physical Limits to Growth - as they predicted.

For confirmation of this that I would like to invite you to make yourself familiar with the reports of Prof Simon Michaux at GTK. Nobody has been able to credibly prove him incorrect with regards to his assessment that the world will experience critical shortages in key mineral resources.

In a nutshell what his research proves is that the world is presently running low on liquid fossil fuels, but transitioning the world from fossil fuels to a mineral-based industrial economy (through the use of solar panels, wind turbines, electric cars, etc - they are all manufactures with minerals) will not work either because there are not enough minerals available to make the transition happen (this means the Club of Rome's assessment was correct about limits in resources, which does not mean I endorse them as a trustworthy source in general - only on this point). Here is a video presentation by S. Michaux that puts everything in context:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBVmnKuBocc

[It's worth watching to the end].

I also recommend reading these reports of his - please see charts and graphs - this has all be meticulosity researched, so far nobody can prove him wrong:

https://tupa.gtk.fi/raportti/arkisto/16_2021.pdf

https://tupa.gtk.fi/raportti/arkisto/42_2021.pdf

Please keep in mind that I do not support Prof Michaux's ideas for solutions to the predicament, which seem to be mainly globalist (if you read my most recent essays you will see I propose decentralization as the only real solution), but as far as his assessment of resources is concerned, he is one of the best in his field. However, there are also other researchers who have done similar work and have come to the same conclusions, for example Mark Mills:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgOEGKDVvsg ]

Unfortunately there is a massive blind-spot in the alternative media on the subject of energy and resources, even the most prominent alt-media leaders such as James Corbett (and others) know very little about the state of energy in the world and they claim there's no energy crisis, which just means they are out of their depth on the subject. It's because they are blinded by the fact the Club of Rome is globalist and therefore reject everything it predicted altogether without doing proper research.

Why is all this happening. There are tons of information and revelations on the "agenda". But can we talk about why? Only for money and power ? Really? Because we are led by psychopaths? And all of them agreed to work together in one team? Really?

Expand full comment

Because it is structural and inevitable - to understand that we need to study cycle-science: We are at the end of the road cycle-wise. It's the End of Days (for real). We are in the final ten years of the 26,000-year cycle. The Bible and prophets have warned us that this time will come. The cycle ends in 2032 (which is why 2030 is such a prominent year ...). All we can do now is to prepare for the times ahead spiritually as things are bound to get very volatile in the years to come.

If you are open-minded, this book might assist with some understanding:
