Clown World Accelerates
From S2 Underground:
Washington D.C. – Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 has been altered significantly, removing almost all of the former protections for women under this law. This highly controversial move means that there will be no separation of any kind between men and women within the context of the educational system, including restroom and locker room use, sporting events, scholarships, etc. This move also mandates the use of pronouns on a federal level, treating a pronoun violation with the same legal severity as harassment allegations. AC: Once the general public has time to read through the 1,500+ pages of changes, the true realization of how significant this action is may become apparent. Of note, this radical change of existing code does not apply to just universities, this applies to all K-12 educational institutions as well as Headstart programs that receive federal funding. Women who don’t approve of men being in their locker rooms can now be criminally charged with harassment in every single public educational institution in the United States. Additionally, based on recent court cases, even private schools may be subject to Title IX regulations in the event that a school receives a tax benefit, though more legal precedence is needed.

Bird Flu, Censorship & 100 Day Vaccines: 7 Predictions for “The Next Pandemic”
Swiped from The Burning Platform. I don’t really disagree with anything here in this post, though it’s hard to predict how any of this will play out. This is certainly a plausible scenario.
Guest Post by Kit Knightly
Earlier this month the Whitehouse published its new “Pandemic Preparedness” targets.
They are far from alone in covering this. Back in March, Sky News was asking: “Next pandemic is around the corner,’ expert warns – but would lockdown ever happen again?”
On April 3rd, the Financial Times asked something similar: “The next pandemic is coming. Will we be ready?”
Less than an hour ago, the Daily Mail invited us inside “the world’s deadliest cave that could cause the next pandemic”.
Just two days ago a professional panic spreader wrote for CNN:
The next pandemic threat demands action now!!!
OK, I added the exclamation points, but they are very much implied in the original text.
So, while Iran and Israel rattle their sabres on the front pages, I thought we should take a look at the quieter back pages to see what we can learn, and help us predict how “the next pandemic” will unfold.
What is “the next pandemic”?
I mean…I feel like that’s fairly self-explanatory.
Seriously though, it’s the one they’ve been predicting from pretty much the moment Covid started. First it was going to be monkey pox – sorry MPox – but that fizzled.
Of course by “pandemic”, we really mean “psy-op”, because nothing about the next pandemic will be any more real than the last pandemic. Hell, given the leaps forward in AI technology, it could be considerably less real next time.
We don’t know any of the details yet, but there’s enough vague coverage to tease out some guesstimates.
What disease will they use?
Probably the most important question. We already mentioned monkey pox, but that doesn’t look likely anymore.
Right now they are mostly talking about “disease X” – a term which caused a little panic in certain sections when it first appeared on the scene – but that isn’t some top secret gain of function super disease, it’s literally a place holder name.
And it’s a placeholder name which does its job, for the time being.
After all, they don’t really need an actual name yet, any more than they need an actual disease, they just need the idea of a disease to hold over people’s heads while they construct the legislative rules of their health-based tyranny.
Indeed, the vagueness “Disease X” provides is helpful, as it keeps the legislation vague too.
That said, they will likely want and/or need to produce an actual disease at some point.
When that time comes around, it will almost certainly be another respiratory disease, because they are easy to “fake” using pre-existing endemic diseases and their uniform symptoms.
The prime candidate is bird flu, which has been slow-boiling in the news for two years now and has recently got a big uptick in coverage due to it allegedly passing to people from cows.
The UN reports “pandemic experts” are “concerned over avian influenza spread to humans”. Just yesterday, Jeremy Farrar of the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that “[the] threat Of Bird Flu spreading to Humans is a great concern”
Prompting gleefully sensationalist headlines like this from the Daily Star:
New pandemic ‘expected’ as human-to-human bird flu of ‘great concern’ to WHO
Bird flu is a convenient pick because it enables them to push their health tyranny and their food transition at the same time. They can claim that dairy, beef, chicken and eggs have become “dangerous” as an excuse to ration them or at least force scarcity while they drive the prices up.
They will then push the idea that veganism and/or lab grown meat “prevents pandemics”. Something they’ve been claiming since at least 2021.
The Daily Mail reported just a few hours ago:
H5N1 strain of bird flu is found in MILK for first time in ‘very high concentrations,’ World Health Organization warns
The downside to bird flu is that it’s hard to work the climate change angle into the narrative, so maybe they’ll go with something else.
When will it happen?
Probably not until the winter, I would guess January 2025 at the earliest, for two reasons:
- They need it to be flu season so they can co-opt normal seasonal deaths into their “pandemic” narrative.
- I think they’ll want to wait until after the “big election year” is over so there are fresh governments in place.
That second point is not just a hunch, but based on the article from Sky I mentioned above. It asks “would lockdown ever happen again?”, and an “expert” answers [emphasis added]:
…if another lockdown was needed, the current Tory government would either have to minimise scandals over their own rule-breaking – or change hands completely to keep the public on board. If we had a new government, people would be far more likely to have faith in them because they would be less likely to say, ‘it’s the same bunch as before – why should we do it again?’
Which I think is correct.
That would also explain the raft of sudden political resignations – including Covid stars Angela Merkel and Jacinda Ardern – which swept the world in Covid’s wake. They were aware then, and are still aware now, their players were spent and they needed a fresh roster before coming back for the second leg.
So, elections first – with all the nonsense that entails – then maybe the “next pandemic”.
How will it be different from “Covid”?
Any future pandemic psy-op will be unlikely to follow the covid pattern beat-for-beat, for one thing the Covid narrative spent itself before achieving everything it was meant to achieve.
You can bet the farm that, in the four years since, there have been working groups and researchers poring over the pandemic data to figure out what went wrong and how they can fix it next time.
There seem to be three recurring themes.
1. Vaccines not lockdowns There will be a focus on securing vaccines rather than lockdowns. Indeed, part of the whole “aw shucks lockdowns were damaging who’d have thunk it” rigmarole is about setting up the dynamic that “next time” we need to do anything we can to avoid lockdowns.
Lockdowns will become a threat rather than a fact.
“We HAVE to mandate vaccines, because the economy can’t afford another lockdown.”
“Take the vaccine, you don’t want to have another lockdown do you?”
So there will be more testing, more masks and more vaccine mandates…and/or quarantine camps for the unvaccinated. And if they DO have lockdowns, they will be entirely blamed on the “anti-vaxxers”, of course.
2. Speed speed speed The main failing of the Covid narrative was that it ran out of steam. By the time the vaccines rolled out in early 2021 the pandemic fatigue was already setting in. And by the time the third boosters and fourth waves were in the headlines nobody really cared.
The propaganda blitzkrieg of early 2020 was arguably the greatest and most wide-reaching misinformation campaign of all time – and it was almost overwhelmingly effective. But it slowed, stalled, stopped and staled.
Next time, they know now, they need to be faster. Bill Gates said as much at the 2022 Munich Security Conference. They need to get the disease out the deaths up and vaccines in before people even realise what happened.
Hence the “100 day vaccines” plan. As the ever-reliably-hysterical Devi Shridar writes for the Guardian:
most governments are working towards the 100-day challenge: that is, how to contain a virus spreading while a scientific response, such as a vaccine, diagnostic or treatment, can be approved, manufactured and delivered to the public.
The “100 Day Mission” is the brainchild of CEPI, the Gates and WHO-backed NGO. Its main aim is to make it possible to produce new vaccines for previously unknown pathogens in 100 days.
In the US, the target is 130 days from pathogen discovery to nation-wide vaccine coverage.
It should go without saying that real, reliable, “safe and effective” vaccines cannot be produced in 100 days. Whatever they make, sell and force you to inject in that time…it won’t be a vaccine
3. Free Speech is Dangerous. The slow development of the narrative post-2020 may have hindered the health tyranny agenda, but it was the independent media that really hurt it. The impromptu network of dissident experts, independent researchers and social media movements spread “misinformation” faster than the powers-that-be could fact-check it.
We have seen perpetual messaging about the dangers of “misinformaion and disinformation” since then, including prominently at the most recent DAVOS summit earlier this year, where it was labelled one of the “three greatest dangers” facing the planet.
Last week, a UK Parliamentary Committee published “recommendations” headlined:
Government should learn lessons from pandemic to improve communications and counter misinformation
Only a few days ago, Gordon Brown was quoted in the news “warning” that:
“fake news’ risks preparations for next pandemic”
Which heavily implies they will move to counter this “fake news” before the “next pandemic” begins.
WILDCARD PREDICTION: The multipolar angle. Whatever form the “next pandemic” takes, they will likely avoid the monolithic messaging of 2020, where total global conformity to “the message” was one of the real telltale signs of deception. Next time prepare for countries like India, China and Russia to forge their own pandemic strategy – focusing on some new treatment or technology that the West refuses to endorse.
There are no sources to back this one, yet. It’s just a gut feeling.
*
So what am I officially predicting for the “next pandemic”?
- It will won’t be launched until after the major elections this year, because they want new politic faces untarnished by Covid
- It will likely be bird flu or some other respiratory disease, launched in the winter to hijack the real flu season again
- The chosen disease will fit into one or more pre-existing agenda – either impacting food or originating from some forced “climate change” connection or both
- They will move faster, producing “vaccines” in 100 days to stop people getting wise to the deception as they did with Covid
- They will try and avoid lockdowns, but use them as a threat to enforce vaccine mandates more rigorously
- They will clamp down harder on “mis- and dis-information” before launching the new narrative.
- The next pandemic will have a multipolarity angle to establish a fake binary
That’s how I see it. Feel free to bookmark this post for future reference.
Even if I’ve guessed the details wrong here, there’s no question they are planning to roll out another pandemic at some point in near future. A covid sequel that learns from past mistakes.
While, in some ways, it will likely be worse than Covid was – the good news is that this time we can be ready for it.

The FBI Does Not Work for You
The FBI works for itself, to expand its power, its budget and its influence. People are starting to notice. Slowly…
Rep. Mike Garcia very kindly tells Chris Wray he’s a stooge.

More Notes on Israel vs. Iran
I don’t know the author of these words, but they track with what I’m seeing in other places. As he says at the end, winter is coming. Prepare accordingly.

That Pesky Constitution Again
First we had Ketaji Jackson “I’m not a biologist” Brown saying the First Amendment to the Constitution is a problem because it is “hamstringing the government,” and now the DOJ sees the Fourth Amendment as a problem as it prevents warrant-less spying on Americans.
But no worries; staunch Christian CON-servative speaker of the house Mike Johnson led the Democrats to victory by re-authorizing the FISA warrant-less spying program. So you can sleep well at night knowing the government can spy on you whenever it pleases. Don’t you feel safer with these people in charge?

Collective Insanity
From Doug Casey’s International Man newsletter.
by Jeff Thomas
In any country, during prosperous times, the great majority of people go to work each day with the understanding that productivity results in an improved life. Even for those of humble means, the existence of prosperity around them is a daily assurance that, if you work hard and/or work smart, your life will steadily improve.
This is the normal state of affairs and has existed since time immemorial. Whether progress is quick or slow in a given location, the principle remains the same. A general condition of prosperity is a continual reminder of the value of a strong work ethic.
In a collectivist country, however, this is missing. The leaders live quite well, but they’re small in number and, for the most part, are outside of the view of the proletariat. What the common man sees around him is uniform poverty. No one in his midst is visibly progressing, so there’s no one to be jealous of.
This breeds complacency and so it’s not surprising that collectivism may be tolerated by the populace for many decades, even generations. People are invariably worse off under collectivism, but collectivism rarely ends due to rebellion. It ends because it’s a dysfunctional non-productive system that eventually collapses under its own weight.
But, if that’s so – if people living in a free-market system will instinctively reject collectivism and those living under a collectivist system also rarely rebel – how is it possible that, periodically, revolutions occur?
Why might the people of, say, the US, have been staunch supporters of a free-market system half a century ago and now be demonstrating a dramatically increased belief in collectivism? How is it even possible that political candidates with no experience in either politics or leadership positions be elected to Congress by promising collectivism?
Well that’s occurring for the same reason that it has occurred throughout history. The US no longer lives under a free-market system. Roughly one hundred years ago, the free market began to be replaced with corporatism. As corporatism increasingly bled the populace, the opportunity for personal prosperity declined. Over time, the average person was seeing less and less evidence of prosperity around him. At this point, he’s viewing corporate leaders enjoying unimaginable wealth, whilst those around him are experiencing stagnation. Real wages have not increased in decades.
Historically, it’s at this point that a people are ripe for the empty promises of collectivism.
And collectivists happily provide it. Although they occasionally promise to raise the proletariat up to the level of their economic betters, for the most part, they focus on the promise that they’ll bring the aristocracy down.
The selling of the idea of collectivism is based upon envy and resentment toward those who are better off than we may be. Collectivist leaders invariably accuse anyone who has prospered as being “greedy” and having “starved the poor” in order to achieve their relative wealth.
Although this is rarely accurate, it’s a great sales pitch, as those who have learned that their lives are not progressing are actively seeking an explanation and are ripe for one that blames those who have progressed.
The key here is that collectivism almost never sells well in a country where prosperity exists. In a free-market country, a strong work ethic is regularly rewarded. However, once the free market has deteriorated enough that the proletariat have come to understand that they’re not genuinely moving forward, they’re ready to jump on board with those leaders who appeal to their frustration and anger.
At this point, logic and reason cease to be important. What matters is rhetoric.
Once a people have concluded that prosperity is not truly in their future, they must choose between hopelessness and empty promises.
This is an important point, because human nature will always dictate that they choose empty promises. Left with no real hope, false hope is infinitely preferable to no hope.
Collectivism in the US began in the 1930s and was expanding nicely, when it was interrupted by World War II. The productivity of creating the goods of war for the European Allies sent the US into a period of dramatic productivity. This continued after the war, but in the 1960s, the effort to increase government’s control of production was renewed until, today, the wet blanket of government has become so heavy that prosperity has been minimized and the US is in a condition of stagnation.
And so, Americans are ripe for empty promises, and the younger the American (i.e., the less memory he has of the former prosperity), the more believable the empty promises seem to be.
Young Americans today are disinclined to daydream about a home with a white picket fence, a single wage earner, and a wife at home with three well-adjusted children. That dream sold well to their grandparents, but their grandparents witnessed people all around them achieving that dream, so it was clearly attainable if they were prepared to work for it.
Today’s young American sees this as hopeless. He’d like to be a billionaire like Jeff Bezos, but that clearly isn’t going to happen. So, he might as well not try.
His country has entered into eternal warfare, the government is broke, and he can’t even open a lemonade stand without applying for government permits and inspections.
At this point, it’s very unlikely that 1950s-style rhetoric of “Make America Great Again” will have any appeal to him whatever.
What is appealing is the promise that even if he makes no effort whatever, even if he remains in his parents’ basement for the rest of his life, unemployed, there’s a new political movement out there that understands him.
And it’s a breath of fresh air. It promises a life free from worry and effort. A free healthcare system, free college for as long as he wishes to be enrolled, and most importantly, a guaranteed living wage without the need to earn it.
In addition, instead of feeling worthless, his belief in the new collectivism gives him the ability to “stand for something.” He may now see himself as “making a difference.”
Only five years ago, Americans would have said that this would not have been possible. Leftist crackpots have always existed, but no one took them seriously. Surely, this would never come to pass in the US.
But recently, that’s been changing. Some candidates who have received the greatest support have been those who offer absurdly empty collectivist promises, and the media (whether they endorse them or not) are shining a spotlight on them every day.
The rhetoric has been classical collectivist propaganda. As impossible as it might be to actually work, it does absolutely appeal. It’s therefore spreading rapidly. I term this rhetoric, “infectious insanity” – a harsh term but, I think, an apt one.
In my belief, this will spread much as Bolshevism did after 1917, like a particularly virulent skin rash.
Historically, it’s always been true that, when prosperity has ceased to be readily visible in a nation, the false hope of collectivism becomes the drug of choice.

Debt Borrowing Debt
In case you were wondering, the Biden administration continues to set economic records. They are literally tearing it up. Check this out:
This is how much debt, per quarter, the US Treasury has issued. We’re not adding $1 Trillion to the national debt every 90 days. That’s something like $65,000 per taxpayer. But I’m sure they know what they’re doing.
Even the Wall Street Journal, which loves debt, is sounding the alarm, writing that rapid growth in debt often ends badly, and given the enormous size and alleged safety of the Treasury market any “instability” could be catastrophic.
