UK, not Russia, meddled in US election: Julian Assange tweets links between British establishment and Steele dossier

Highland Fleet Lute 'They' are protecting their identity investments as they see them' at expense or disregard of 'anyone else'.

They don't see money wasted, they see it as a means to maintain and consolidate power. Waste, sickness and war - "its the Economy stupid!".

Presuming to be the guardians of the 'nation' or of the greater cause, is the fundamental corruption of power - by which other facets of a truly greater cause are seen as threat and rival and thus suppressed, denied, and demonized. In this the security of the nation, or ideology, sees its needs as necessarily the nations needs - and utilises and subverts the powers and institutions of state to secure its position from change. This is very very old news.

Just as a cancer tumour grows its own network of blood supply vessels, power that is by definition working in secret, has to generate and defend its secret sources of funding. Because the whole thing is an 'end' used to justify the means, the means is redefined in terms of an end to come and so tragic, sad or indeed abominable and depraved as such means may be, the end will make all worth while.

Meanwhile the nature of the goal has change from a presumed expansion of power to possession of a 'world more fit to be ruled' to an over extension of power into increasingly tyrannous dictate demanding ever more sacrifice of whatever moral sensibilities remain. Thus moral sense becomes a tool, weapon or means of covering over or inciting compliance or else one is a hateful 'anti-something that is unspeakably beyond criticism' and smeared in association with abominable and depraved symbols of officially mandated hate.

What does it profit a man to gain the world if it cost him his Soul?

Perhaps the freedom in human experience to reveal the nature of this 'pact' as a choice by which we are deceived is one with the freedom to awaken to and walk away from the unreal.

In true acceptance of all that you are, you may well find that everything in your life gave itself to a whole of which you could not know in unfolding the experience of.

The tool of limitation, division and denial is not a true creator, yet even amidst such a world is it possible to recognize what is in terms of the already and always true. But not while operating secrets and lies in pursuit of power and protection for your investments in such a world.

The 'mind' through which we see is the world we suffer to know.

"What good is this 'self' to itself or anyone else? Inept, pathetic, waste of life, so-called security service"

Such is a self cynicism. Yet if the self-hate were left uninvested in, the question can open to the Good because its asks 'where do I fit into that which is truly alive?' And letting life in, is the release of the de(nial)fence of a uni-polar dissociation to then take steps that shift the models and structures of thought to awakened responsibility within relationship instead of warring on shadows, of a false sense of self-security that actually feeds and protects them as the source of such power as they cling to without the will and support of entrusted responsibility for serving their function in honour of the whole.

Looking outside - one may say there is no 'whole' the world is utterly broken and the only choice is seek to allay or evade being broken on it by appeasing the power that offers 'security' for allegiance. Their is no security in a world of constant change - but there is the allegiance to the idea of power to define, predict and control change. Where did this idea come from but life judged 'chaos' by that which denies, rules out and thus operates the power that rules over ...the trickle of life that its filters allow. Scarcity of life denied is the 'security' of maintaining power over Life unrecognised. True safety is an inside job.

Awordinyourear Yeah, redirection of focus from other issues may be the real goal there, and they are achieving it.

Awordinyourear Like under communism, we have a narrative version that is supposed to be (working) but isn't and so all kinds of not very well disguised coercions and deceits seek to enforce compliance and reset the narrative.

Now I say is not working - but I mean for us. For those who use destructive intent as a tool for asset stripping or new world order building - everything may be going to plan - one way or another - because we are being led by our own hopes and fears to effect our own destruction.

It might that we might manage to do that even without a power class manipulating from the shadows.

It might be that only exposing the monstrous within our own proclivity truly awakens a genuine basis from which to live.

Manipulative deceits are no basis from which to live or even recognize life.

But those who use this to make war on us also serve to bring it to our consciousness.

"Fool me once shame on you!" relates to not giving honour or acceptance to deceits posing as true.

"Fool me twice shame on me!" relates to not having learned to be vigilant from the education of the first.

Ironically I always think of Dubya Bush who either gaffed this quote - or executed a perfect ruse of a dumb president.

There are so many crisis actors now, that I wonder, do they play their part knowingly or under some narrative fitted to their hopes and fears. The double act is a well known technique. If Putin were being prepared for World Leader of a new Global 'federation', could the 'West' be doing a better job in offering a contemptibly corrupt 'alternative'?

However, the original gang's idea was no family or religion but the State - and of course the 'State' is a system rigged and run by the power to pull the strings to give or choke back support.

Replacing God is not as simple as it seems to those who think narrative control actually changes the truth of our being. Oh I know the word is so loaded with abuse as to seem abusive - or so comforting to beliefs that work more like idols than real relationships.

I don't see any real relationships under thought dictate of technocratic control. Maybe that is why there is so much willingness to embrace it: fantasy gratifications in a cage that protects from or evades accepting responsibility for our life - and I don't mean blame for our outer circumstances, but freedom to own what is ourse and meet it - as well as release baggage that doesn't belong to us.

Maybe there are various factions within the power class that can at times jostle for position but it seems more like a negatively defined self interest working through every and any pathway. Fear, blame and shame are its fuel until brough into a conscious ownership. Then, paradoxically, you have your life back in a genuine presence, and though its also challenging or maybe deeply disturbing at times, it is also true - and no matter how small this spark seems - it is a basis from which to listen and learn in a new way.

Denial is assigned to all sorts of dirty secrets - but also to the true extension of a love we may be afraid to reveal in a world that is expected to attack it.
