Is The West An Elephant On Stilts? 

Hey Morgoth, if you want a subject that may be of some interest to you, I might recommend checking out White Nose Syndrome, and how it's wiped out a massive amount of America's bat population (90% in some species, including the little brown bat, which used to be one of our most numerous). Ever since finding out about that, I've been wondering why it isn't more widely reported, especially compared to the coverage of bees dying off. Perhaps it has something to do with the cause: like the bees (mostly European ones, other species are doing fine), White Nose syndrome is caused by a fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans, which gets into the skin of the nose and ears, hence the name. The fungus isn't native to the U.S., and researchers have speculated it came from European spelunkers who brought it into bat caves (by the way, like the bees, it varies by species, mostly killing the ones that hibernate in caves by waking them up through the itch, while others that stay in the woods and migrate in colder months are doing much better). In any case, perhaps the reason this actual possible extinction event isn't talked about as much is because it really doesn't come down to global warming, or as we're trained to call it nowadays, "climate change," but from a fungus their bodies had never developed had to adapt to before, one that got to them via tourism, while more bats and birds are being killed via the windmill farms, an outgrowth of that very movement. Why bring that up? Well building off what you said about machines and how you usually don't think about them until they're gone, most people don't think about the birds, the bees, and the bats that much, unless it relates to honey and stings, thinking how pretty or chirpy the birds are, or Halloween and vampires respectively. Nevertheless, all three are major pollinators, and at least two play a big part in keeping insect populations down. In other words, if the bats go, some expect it will costs farmers billions more in pesticides to keep their farm production at current value (to say nothing of the impact those kind of chemicals can have) on top of the issues we're seeing with inflation and supply we're going through now. In addition, I think you'd appreciate the fact that a local population was decimated through a foreign disease brought in through careless travel and tourism, while protectionism and limited travel as implemented in states like Missouri is at least helping to mitigate the damage while elsewhere, the surviving population is only now starting to develop resistance after the devastation has run its course.

I.m sure this was uploaded days ago... oh well, another token in the mad jar it is

Tower of babel to sum it up. Bricks are people and material goods are the morter binding them together. When the material goods erode so does the false imperial connection and those people resort to tribalism.

The West may be very corrupt and significantly encapsulates the worlds problem but the East isn't any less corrupt by any stretch, especially when the West helped built up possibly the worlds greatest monster since the 70s: China.

He posted the text to substack a couple of days ago. You're all too sane I'm at afraid.

It will experience continous acceleration... "Little by little and then all at once"

And we are right under it.

Lol thank god it has the majority of nations in the world supporting it, and everything it touches turns into more human rights and personal wealth, and this draws more support from around the world. But i get it, i didnt bother to look at the history of humanity in that light til later in my life, i also used to think i was so cool saying the big bad west was evil

@@happyhammer1 lol you and your parents were born on its back 🤣🤣

I’m looking at the scenery blur past as we hurtle toward the ground below. They say it’s not the fall that gets you, but the landing.

And I thought everything was done by satellites. wtf?

No matter where you go, there you are.

How about being a deliberate cut or censorship? Failure loads it as if was an accident... But yeah , we can always have satelites. The only event that can destroy both sattelites and cables is a Russian Preemptive WW3 scenario, were they bring all NATO C4ISR down... If that happens, you will have way bigger problems than the simple being out of contact with like minded people...

@@leewilliams6070 Pretty sure those cables connect you to regional servers, but i might be wrong. As far as i understand for exemple, this morgoth video is saved in various google data centers around the world. So even if one came down, there is another version in some other data center. But the communication between data centers is indeed done all by massive cables apparently...

Yeah ive been thinking itd be good if more of us had the ability to communicate by letter, but thats also pretty dodge for any of us to advertise how we might be reached IRL. Bloody doozy.

And i suppose you store the milk in refrigerated compartments right? So yeah, no eletricy or no petrol = Life in hell for everybody...

@@avppr3451 The entire reason butter and cheese were invented was to preserve dairy for long-term use and storage. Smoking and salting were age-old methods of storing food. On a civilizational level, canned and dried food will still be available where consistent electricity is no longer a guarantee.

@@avppr3451 yes. I bought a Tractor driven generator for scheduled blackouts. Diesel runs rural economies. If diesel cannot be got in the quantities needed then everything grinds to a halt. It’s not madness that’s pushing the green agenda. It’s psychopathy. They know what will happen.

@@Schlabbeflicker But certain kinds of cheese for some reason get spoiled within a week.

@@1685Violin Ok. You've missed his point haha

Yeah, and would fit into 7/8 time nicely too. :D

Best to start uploading on alternative platforms and shill for them

The funny thing is that their RU-vid channels actually get less views than Morgoth. People don't care about them but they're given the the spotlight anyway.

who is Darren Grimes?

I have shared it on my telegram channel I have almost 7000 viewers we are huge fans of morgoth and always support his work

Never heard of these two..

Or to quote Spike Milligan, ..."pull down the blinds when removing their trousers"

Indeed. The destruction of vital civilian infrastructure is a can a worms the US should NOT have opened. Sadly, the neocons, ideologues, and MIC shills running Washington D.C. have a remarkable lack of foresight and wisdom.

Brilliant

His last book made him an outcast, I wonder why. It is funny to see that in his first books he is still naive about the power behind the power, the character development in his ouvre is something Amazon can take inspiration from.

I’d say aside from his last book A Prophet at Home, Somewhere South of Suez, and Far and Wide are his next most important books. They’re also really well written and fun to read.

@@jamesl.8878 His last book is called 'The Controversy of Zion' and in my honest opinion the most important book he wrote, yet not an easy read and for most people not fun because it shatters their world view. I guess he would re-write all his other books after finding out what he found out researching for his last book.

Controversy of Zion is his most important work, the one that earned him total ostracism

@@matacabrones4317 Yes, all the books leading up to that one have him wondering about the 'stupidity' of the world leaders. In his last book he understands why it is not stupidity, that there is a reason for it all and the effects we see today.

Oh, and people... you really should go check out Morg's substack if you haven't already done so. Even the non-paywalled articles and videos are a treasure trove of intellectual gold.

Like clockwork

"Stop crying yer little shit, I'm trying to watch the match - N'Gubu's on for a hattrick for Citeh!"

Or any lights at all for that matter.

Spare a thought for the Russians. The poor bastards have so much electricity that their Christmas lights are already up and so much natural gas that their apartments are heating to 30 celcius. Meanwhile those of them that live in the western part of the country have stopped receiving your wonderful freedom bombs (generally delivered at high speed onto schools) because of their leadership. Truly it is a hard time for everyone.

There be lights just not peaceful light's.

As an ex Street lighting engineer that also installed & dismantled & repaired X-Mas lights. I also believe that the next (Government Directive) will be, Save Power & Ban Christmas Altogether let alone lights & celebrations.

We've done it to ourselves you simpleton.

In Finland, they still do, especially outside the Helsinki cess-pit

@109 Countries Yep. Pretty much every skilled tradesman I see like electrician, plumber, HVAC is white and usually over 30. Lots of Poles and Romanians doing the menial unskilled work though.

Got a spare room by any chance mate? 😉

Our woodlander ancestors were something, sure they are smiling for men like the woodlander 👌🏻 the more I attempt to live like our ancestors the closer to them I feel.

Not trying to undercut your story -- not at all -- but what do you do to get access to this channel if you're off-grid? Go to a public library for public computer access? It's a bit of an irony if you can watch this channel and feel kinship, but you can't access the channel if you earned this perspective by going off-grid. What I mean is, I think lots of folks confront this question -- Do I simplify? And if so, how much? How far do I go? Cleary this medium is precarious. I'm just wondering about how to deal with the practical realities of simplifying. And I also think too much serious attention is given, without discernment, to what one can access on the internet. 95% chaff, 5% wheat. To that extent it's not a loss to see the 95% chaff disappear. But what about the 5% wheat?

@@seanoneil277 great questions... watch my morgcast with morgoth. I kinda go into the whole thing.. I'm pretty off grid, no bank account, not registered anywhere, no electric grid , gas, water... but, I can use the Internet and pop to the shop for a bottle of wine..

We were a much more cohesive and homogenous country in the 70s, a few inner city shitholes notwithstanding. The non-English demographics and social atomization are far, far more advanced now. It won't be as fun this time - think of a gang of diversity with machetes making a beeline for your house.

Homework by candlelight! Blamed on the labour govt of the time. Democracy is gone. Neoliberalism failed but it’s desperately clinging on.

In the spirit of the 21st Century's various pop culture phenomena, I'd say it's a mashup of They Live and Wizard of Oz. With a side order of the zombie movie of your choice. Dessert would be something like The Sting -- or most any David Mamet movie.

@@seanoneil277 in They Live they wanted people to have children can we replace the current leaders with the They Live ones

The west is going behind the new iron curtain..

AEthelDan -- have you ever read Wendell Berry's book, "The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture" ? Published originally 1977 by a company who would now be ashamed to admit they published the thing, but for the money it's given them over the years. One thing overextended cultures, nations, realms will have in common is an adolescent's infatuation with newness and expansion, eagerly sought without life experience -- without regard for the consequences to self and others, immediately and thereafter. A disregard for the limits imposed the natural world -- ruining the soil's fertility over generations by seeking 5 years' yield in one season, chemically assisted -- is a simple way to self-destruct on feeding one's own people. Same can be said for shipping industry and manufacture overseas, and creating a false casino economy of moving ideas and moving hypothetical interests in fractions of numerical avatars of real wealth. If you don't have industry, how do you actually make anything you need to use? Import it as a completed good and just be a nation of consumers? Fake the "domestically produced" idea by importing the parts but assembling them here?

In this era, pulling way way back and looking at a larger scale is the only way to even try to make sense of the confusing developments we all encounter. In the USA, systems level thinking is not encouraged in public schools, and even in private ones it's rare. Very few people are capable of system-level analysis. In my working life (30 yrs now) I've noticed systems level thinking is done by maybe 2% of people -- and I've worked in fields where everyone has at least one graduate or professional degree. It's possible that "leaders" around the world right now are possessed of, and guided by, systems-level analyses. But I doubt it very seriously. I think we are faced with con artists who haven't even half the chops they profess to hold and threaten to use. And it's pretty well known in con job investigations that the con artist knows his mark will never want to reveal the indignity and embarrassment of having been conned.

@@seanoneil277 That's interesting to hear. I suspect we'd all be systems thinkers if we had the John Taylor Gatto Trivium / Quadrivium education. I live near a Uni and the absolute state of the people attending is hilarious to behold.

can you recommend a text?

@@nickgir4769 Nick, I don't know if you were asking me. But I can't recommend one because I'm one of those mutants born with systems-level analysis as my brain's main method of processing information. I've been saddled with this mind for 61 years and it works always in systems. Always.

@@seanoneil277 what is system level analysis?

Without God there is no good.

What are the biggest concerns regarding the potential damage of optic cables?

@@deathbycognitivedissonance5036 somewhat location dependent..but in general they are: seismic and geotechnical stability risks (see Tonga for recent example of how to lose a cable to an earthquake, tsunami or volcano), fishing (dredges, trawlers and the like) and storm surges moving the seabed or large rocks around. Mostly, the initial geotechnical and hydrographic surveys help them select routes to avoid 'free spans', which are essentially what Morgoth was saying about hanging off cliffs...anywhere the cable is not against the seabed is a risk. Early cables used to be attacked by sharks believe it or not, because of the EMFs. These days they are sufficiently armoured.

@@killjoyredux8361 Sharks Lol

@@killjoyredux8361 thank you. Appreciate your insight.

@@killjoyredux8361 what are these cables "plugged into" on either side? Some transmission network? Or do they just begin distributing to different internet providers?

It is true, you should be as independent as possible, but the government isn’t allowing anything, energy companies aren’t raising prices in a vacuum. If an energy company doesn’t raise prices, it can’t buy the fuel needed to supply you that energy.

@@jsbrads1 depends on how independent you are I guess. Solar panels and a battery system goes a very long way towards that independence. With respect to energy companies, stuff them, they always have and still do make obscene profits .... which mainly goes back to the scum share holders. Also, we (the uk) have abundant oil and gas - but that doesn't fit in with the climate change scsn

@@chrisrebar2381 sure. Seems like wind supplements solar well, as it tends to provide more in the winter and nights. Need to look into it more.

@@jsbrads1 yes, winter is an obvious problem and I certainly won't be "off grid" then, but my electricity bills will definitely be much lower than if I were to fully rely on the grid. Most of spring and autumn my bills are about 70% less than my previous year, and summer was as high 85% less - so I'm well pleased. The damn standing charge is very irritating though. Wind - I don't think it would be practical where I live, however, I am on a hill about 200ft above sea level, so I may look into that

He's not wrong.

Its heart will give out soon then too?

Kinda curious that the United Nations grew in global media attention right around the time Star Trek was released in the 1960s. Also kinda puzzling how Vietnam became a war right afterward. "Kirk" means "church" in some religions. All very interesting.

In Amerikkka, the war between the OP Paperclip bois, who fused with post carpetbagger slavers....became the 2 headed front lie of the Uniparty. Internecine fighting will occur, despite the fact of the Uniparty using both fascism and Lenin styled covid theatrics, A Hero Works Here! In jobs labelled Essential and the majority labeled non essential....basically, Nazi garbage fused with working class hero bullshit left over from the 50s....

Best wishes to you sir. 🇨🇱 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

FYI, the first permanent telegraph line across the Atlantic Ocean was laid by the British ship Great Eastern in 1866.

It wasn't all setup at once, then launched. The WWW was built upon the same cables that had been laid for telegraph and telephone years before. These days though, more and more is being fed through satellites.

You can't be shut out of nature, or shut out from God

Ah, quit yer whinging. I'm sure Pajit, Abdul and Nkwande will treat you real nice in the nursing home when its bath time.

Yes I have considered it and I'm working on some larger things in the background. Cheers.

You best be believe in scify dystopia, your liv'in in one.

There weren't too many Sci-fi movies which depicted the masses leading fulfilling lives. The elite, specialist crews of space exploration craft were heavily promoted of course...

The mindset that allows you to think that is the mindset that puts elephants on stilts.

Which nations? Most of the world is largely under Western European culture.

Christopher Lasch wrote about that very topic in two books from late 70s and late 80s. Lasch said the American religion, declared and avowed or not, as of the post-Vietnam war era, was Progress. People were encouraged to, and actually started to, worship progress however offered. Usually in some fake pseudo-science way, offered by people in white lab coats with many degrees and professional association abbreviations after their names. Lasch himself was a Marxist in his 20s and grew disaffected and disgusted with Marxism and its soft surrogate, "progressive politics." He had a very unique insight useful for understanding the megalomaniacal progressives and their obsessions with D-I-E, LGBQTZFPM29, et cetera, and their strange desire to destroy their own nation as well as others, in the name of the false god "progress."

@@seanoneil277 interesting, I don’t him, but I do know my bible. We are living in the age of Revelation. By the year, by the day, by the hour, the veil is being lifted. Harvest time is drawing closer: everything will be shaken, all falsehood exposed, for those who were chosen to see. Then every knee will bow and every tongue confess that YHWH, The Great I Am, is the One Self-existent God, the One True Living God. Choose wisely and buckle up.

@@makingsmokesince76 Yahweh, no. OT figureheads, no. Talmudic idols, no. Royalty of the Torah, no. The schism is eternal and the fable of "judeo" Christian essentialism must fail.

@@seanoneil277 Even the laws of science will tell you that nothing in the seen realm is eternal, this would include schisms. YHWH is the merciful, long-suffering God, who is the source of all creation, both the seen and unseen. Out of fearless, selfless love, He has gifted you the free will to be reconciled with Him, to breach the schism into life eternal. You can choose Christ - The Way, The Truth, The Life or you can deny him and be separated from the source of all life. I will pray for you, but understand that my testimony is not founded on a fable and Christ will never fall. All praises to the Most High Triune God. God bless.

@@makingsmokesince76 I appreciate your passion but my point remains. Every religion was created by humans to try to understand their place in the world. Every one says it is the word of the Divine. Yet you say only one of these religions is the truth. Each other religion says the same. Confusing mess, isn't it? Especially when Judaism and Christianity have, despite the schism that created Christianity, become in the 21st C a hybrid as seen by many and described as "Judeo-Christian." Might as well have a new religion led by Satan-God.

I look forward to the reset

Who?

Yeah, people unfortunately create a cloaking device for the stilted elephant -- or make the room 10x larger every time a new bit of information puts one of the elephant's stilts unmistakably right on top of one's little toe.

It won't hold. There is no spear wall, it is too abstract.

That was always the plan 😢
