the prince is the least interesting of machiavelli. of course many have observed that many peoples abhor freedom and when denied they do nothing
smertzasmert it a cosy/normalized affair, open debate a distant memory, the policy making of a tiny minority, is accepted , thus allowing the unrestricted maturing of their agenda - rule/rulers became nothing more than dependable loud hailers to manage a somnolent audience - and the nearer to the designs completion, with more players reading from the same script, the show became extra dramatic - falsified unrest, conflict etc etc,,, it squeezed them to tears, but with a sprinkle of promise, change, regadless of its cost, was accepted.
Shangri as many have observed from Durkheim to Kojeve---the state always reflects the values and desires of its people---or as de maistre wrote, the people always get the government they deserve. Tocqueville observed ---I know of no nation where there in no independence of mind nor any real freedom of debate except amerika.....it is interesting that liberal/progressive technological determinists---Neil Postman, Post-marxists, Zygmunt Bauman, Marxists, Horkheimer/Adorno, conservatives, Alan Bloom (the Closing of the amerikan mind take the same position---to quote Postman: "Americans do not converse, they entertain each other. amerikans do not exchange ides, they exchange images. the problem with amerikans is not Orwellian--it is huxleyan: amerikans love their oppression"
smertzasmert "the state always reflects the values and desires of its people---"
always the inducement - just as when the lake mirror fooled the mountain into believing itself the imager.

It's only a matter of time before they change the definition of bio-labs to pandemic preparation centers.
EVENT 1 - April 18, 2022 - NYC FALSE FLAG BOMBING [Link]
The first Event is called Event 1, to occur on April 18, 2022. Seventy more events will follow from 2022 to 2029 that must be changed. This is the first of many videos we will post, to help shape future events from the negative singularity set to occur in 2030, if nothing is done.

In a just society, only a very few laws suffice; but soon they discover that any of man’s laws can be circumvented with money. The deserving no longer are elected to office, only the rich are nominated. Once a society has become totally corrupted there is no saving it. Only by revolution, removing the criminals, can a society be reformed.

The paradigm narrative is out of control. In fact, like an inconveniently dropped dildo from Jen’s purse, it is on the floor of the restaurant, under the table, and vibrating like it’s calling a waiter for Service!
Their narrative has shaken its way between the legs of the covid and Ukraine propaganda. It will be beating any sense remaining in it into submission over these next days in rapid oscillation with much embarrassing clacking noise.
The Khazarian Mafia attempt to control the direction and spin of their shaky narrative will become even more confusing for them, and riveting for observers, as yet another major intrusion into their stories arises on the 15th.This next BIG STORY of 2022, coming out in mere short days, will start the noisy vibrator bouncing out from under the table to dance wildly around with the Feet of the Elite in public seemingly to the tune of Jumpin’ Jack Flash. It will be Mesmerizing to watch, but be sure to look up, to the faces in the midst of this St. Vitus Dance.
Just as you had with covid, you will have to learn a new vocabulary to talk about these new developments. Education can be physically and emotionally demanding. This challenge will be no different.
The covid narrative has been killed, drown in first Canadian, then Global, Truckers’ Piss, but much to the horror of the reeling Elites, it keeps rising like a urine soaked zombie. They need it to die, so that they can feed its energy into their Ukraine narrative, barely alive, hanging onto the ropes over there in the corner, being fanned by the globalist cheerleaders, desperate for a revival.
Trapped between the hard spot of Covid Lies failure mounting up, and the Ukraine Invasion Bullshit as it limps along wounded by Russian truth bullets, the elites are sliding into panic. They are not yet flailing around, but the level of control is slipping fast as the minions are smelling the fear sweat oozing down from above.
Our collective, common, reality is going to get a lot noisier, and far more bizarre. As though extracted from one of their adult cartoons, intended to push back the adult mind to an infantile state, the errant, embarrassing, out of control, vibrator of the Khazarian Mafia is going to swell to giant proportions knocking the Deep State onto its ass in a big pile of freshly steaming propaganda.
As cartoonish as things will appear, we are approaching the opening of the serious part of this War of Humanity versus the Khazarian Mafia.
Pundits mostly write, or are written about. They don’t usually go to War, so they don’t really know. Truth is not the first casualty of War, rather it is Innocence.
The most dangerous force on this planet is the man who has to defend Innocence. As Saint Sitting Bull observed, it is the balancing of Rage and Compassion that defines the Warrior, and the loss of that balance that creates a Beast.
Stay Woo. Stay Human. Hard Times Come Soon.

parzival Yes, stay Human. It truly takes courage and character to see what's happening, to know how much worse things can get, to understand that evil is real and active in this reality, and to continue anyway. I treasure all of you here, who embody knowledge, wisdom, humor and compassion. Hard times are indeed coming soon.

' Drs. Walensky and Offit: It’s All in Good Fun ' BY THOMAS HARRINGTON MARCH 10, 2022 [Link]

Dr. Robert W. Malone writes in his substack piece today, Sunday, March 13, 2022 'How Does It Feel to be vindicated?' [Link] : "... I strongly recommend that you read Mr. Harrington’s succinct summary, particularly including the following three paragraphs, which nicely summarize my feelings about the situation.
“All those moves to censor and professionally destroy those who had opinions different from the CDC, actions rooted precisely in the presumption that science is, in fact, black and white, and that those who get it wrong need to be professionally punished, well, that’s all a figment of your primitive imagination.
Or as Harold Pinter put it in his Nobel Prize speech when referring to the US penchant for wantonly destroying other cultures, “It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. It didn’t matter. It was of no interest.
”So yes, excessive psychic detachment turns fellow human beings into self-referential objects or our own minds can be rather problematic. Indeed, I think, though I can’t be sure, that psychologists even have a term for it: psychopathy.” "
It's all rather sickening...

I was fortunate to attend a university/college that implemented a Renaissance man approach to education. If you majored in a humanities subject you had to minor in a science, and vice versa. Furthermore, they had a required humanities sequence that selected literature from all historic periods. One of those was Machiavelli's The Prince. Since it was 50 years ago I have little memory of it, and I am not enticed to re-read it. What interests me now is what was the historical milieu in which The Prince was written.
Leonardo da Vinci, Cesare Borgia, Pope Julius II, the Medicis all lived in this tumultuous time of intrigue and war in Renaissance Italy. The Florentine Republic was concerned about Borgia invading, and reached out to the French king for support. Borgia requested a talk with the Florentines who sent Machiavelli and Soderini, and they met in Urbino. Machiavelli reported Borgia's words to Florence: "“I don’t like this government(Florence), and I cannot trust it. You must change it and offer guarantees of the observance of what you promise me…If you don’t want me as a friend, you will find out what it is like to have me as an enemy”.
So in 1502 Machiavelli met in Cesare Borgia a psychopathic individual that impressed him, and perhaps inspired aspects of The Prince. In this meeting they also discussed Borgia's plan to overthrow Pisa. For this they would bring in Leonardo da Vinci, who besides being the great artist, is also a scientist and engineer who designs a means to alter the course of the river Arno to deprive Pisa of water (what did the CIA/USA installed Ukrainian government do regarding the Crimea; create a dam). The engineer who got the plan, took a different path that failed.
During this time Pope Julius II was the Warrior Pope, and apparently Machiavelli called him an ideal prince.

Baybars Thank you. I am reading selected parts. Though psychopaths like Borgia don't believe anything, they still had to respect the prevailing Catholic beliefs of the time: "But being upheld by powers, to which the human mind cannot reach, I shall speak no more of them, because, being exalted and maintained by God, it would be the act of a presumptuous and rash man to discuss them."
Baybars Here is an excellent quote about why Machiavelli wrote, as well as what he wrote: "But, it being my intention to write a thing which shall be useful to him who apprehends it, it appears to me more appropriate to follow up the real truth of the matter than the imagination of it; for many have pictured republics and principalities which in fact have never been known or seen, because how one lives is so far distant from how one ought to live, that he who neglects what is done for what ought to be done, sooner effects his ruin than his preservation; for a man who wishes to act entirely up to his professions of virtue soon meets with what destroys him among so much that is evil."
Here is a quote from Cynthia Chung giving background for reviewing Fredrick Schiller's Ghost-Seer. "Machiavelli was at the center of the fight to destroy Venice and played a large role in helping organise the League of Cambrai. He has received an ill-repute due to his writing The Prince, which is in fact a study of Venetian strategy, something Machiavelli knew could only be defeated if one understood the nature of such an enemy. Venice’s greatest weapon was its ability to manipulate the perspective and motives of its targets. They did not engage in military warfare but rather a mental warfare which most were seriously under-equipped to defend themselves against. The Prince was thus written by Machiavelli as a study of the enemy’s mind in order to defend the humanist base in Florence. It was written specifically for Lorenzo de Medici who would become the ruler of the Florentine Republic. Lorenzo was a very powerful and enthusiastic patron of the Renaissance culture of Italy."
Dwoods44 A further quote from Cynthia on manipulation and war. "The tragedy of wars such as the Thirty Years war was very much on the mind of Schiller. How could brother be pitted against brother with such vehement hate? How could one allow themselves to be so completely manipulated, so easily fooled into believing an absurdity, into believing that a friend was actually a foe? Most wars are the result of such methods, and therefore Schiller thought it of the utmost importance that the people, but most especially its leaders come to understand the mind of such villainy. That once recognised and exposed for what it truly is, it would lose much of its influence, and good people would no longer be manipulated by such machinations."
Baybars: On another post, Ukraine on Fire, I link to 2 interviews with her. What I like is her manner of presentation; matter of fact. At the same time her research and knowledge of history is way beyond mine and most people. She is married to Matthew Ehret, but I feel she is the better interviewee. You can find both of them on ristingtidefoundation.net, and substack.
