Facts are held sacred by those whose identity is invested in

them.
Exclusive identity operates power struggle - ie narrative
control.
Polarized identity persists the artificially masked and divided
intelligence so to act against itself. At some level this cannot
be denied and so guilt accompanies the deceitful manipulation
of 'reality' to which truth is the first casualty.
Guilt is then packaged and redistributed as blame according to
the ability to set or frame the thinking that arises to offset,
escape and project blame.
If the enemy is believed 'fact' then weaponry against it will be
held sacred. How much should humans be allowed to interfere
with the sacred power of our protection? This is the operation
of denial that brooks no looking within, no real debate or
dialogue and no opening of relationship to any other
perspective but that set in fear and guilt to protect.... against
exposures in fear and guilt associated with total loss of face,
validity and power - which are equated with one's life.

So we have an 'intelligent' machine-mind operating to protect

against exposure to fears by denial, diversion and dissociation,
that induces you to believe it thinks for you and does so by
repackaging fear, guilt and denial in shifting confusions that
induce ever greater dependence on and sacrifice to, such
thinking. Such thinking is 'divide and rule' at its foundation,
regardless the shifting personae and scene of its act.

Before the development of the scientific mind is the sub-

structuring of its surface. The division of the participance of
being and the mind of the intent to limit, define, and control it,
is the idea that 'we' are in control of change, and this is
reflected in all the thinking that seeks to 'change the world', by
persuasion, manipulation and socially engineered deceit. In
terms of inflammation, this does constitute AGW of the human
imagination, and the reactions against 'enemy' do wreak havoc
in pain loss and misery.

The 'enemy' can be and is renamed periodically in association

with feared outcomes, but always away from our own
protected ignorance.
I suggest that the out-picturing of a hateful world has more to
do with self-knowledge than with a true discernment of the
motives of others - and of course I include myself in the co-
creation of a nightmare, but as one who has been in the
willingness of facing and embracing the shadow or denied self
for much of my adult life.

Existence is the only Fact - all else are facets of a whole or

figments of fig-leaf thinking. Death is held to be the fact above
all else (in the thinking of this world) that is therefore worth-
shipped as the definer of existence (in such a life). But is it
fear of death that clings to and pays such sacrifice to live or is
it fear of living?
What else could fear of living embody than death's protection -
as an anti-bios?

The oil cartels - that extend to the pharma (medical globalism)

cartels are not about oil or fossil fuels, but about setting and
maintaining artificial needs and scarcities upon the market
netted - that started with a sense of life-extending powers but
deliver an abject dependence and subjection to ever greater
sacrifice. There is nothing new about such a pact or of the lack
of vigilance against its deceit.

Deceit must work through the same in others to find soil in

which to grow. Love of truth is not the use of 'truth' for war
on 'enemy'. (With God on our side!). But the uncovering of the
true relation where communication seemed lost.

Self-protective gesture is understandable in others - including

offensive acts as a pro-active defence. We can readily observe
this in ourself. What may be less easy to accept is the
conditioning of past experience - often unconscious - that is
embodied in act. The willingness FOR communication, is sacred
to any honourable outcome.
