The year 2024 has been very good for God’s Spies, with site growth of 250% since January. I was shocked when I saw that. My thanks to all of you for all you’ve done — promoting, sharing, linking and recommending. This site is nothing without you. I hope to make you want to keep it up.
Here are some of our more notable 2024 posts. Some, which are paid, have been converted to free. Best wishes to you all for a healthy and happy New Year!
Hope or Despair? Accepting the State of the World
One of my favorite posts.
The only sudden change the masters of society want is that which benefits them. This truth is baked into the way humans operate, especially in large groups: Unless people are truly suffering, they don’t want sudden change, and their societies are built to resist it.
That Which Waits
At this point, climate chaos seems guaranteed. Because billionaires, of course. They want too much, and all of it for themselves. Sadly, we let them have it. I’m not sure a revolution at this point would work, though the country needs one badly. A few reflections on climate and the environment:
The AMOC uses the Gulf Stream to carry heat from the tropics to northern Europe. People have known for years that it could collapse, and in the prehistorical past, has collapsed more than once.
Because billionaires, of course, who kill to keep place.
We're dealing with a social project by the global elites to have billions of people die in order to maintain their power.
Look around, then tell me that isn't literally true.
Empire Tales
The burden of hubris and power weighs heavy on us.
Somewhere on this planet a US commando is carrying out a mission. Now, say that 70 times and you’re done … for the day.
So what’s next? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss? Or something far worse, a picked-apart failed state in the Libyan mold?
The Other Coup. The Actual Revolution.
Building the security state and our unquestioning support. Did you know the concept of propaganda didn’t come from the Nazis? Goebbels stole it from the nascent American advertising and public relations industry, created in the 1920s. We’re still at it, not that most people have noticed.
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.”
—Edward Bernays, the “father of public relations,” in his book Propaganda
The class war has already been started. Our side’s not fighting.
Examples are everywhere. In essence, these are military ops using spook state tactics. These ops are why much of the world is the way it is.
Because billionaires and those they control. Left vs. Right is not the real revolution.
Our captured government sent manufacturing abroad to make our rich more rich. They immiserated workers, let predatory domestic companies pick cash from their bones, and trumpet on cable news the only fight that won’t hurt their bottom line.
Recognizing the Perp
Because everyone should be protected from murderers, I offer a modest proposal.
CEOs should accept the cover and protection of a state that enables them and which they control. They should, in fact, have armed guards everywhere.
A Little Night Music
Let’s end on a high note, shall we? Listen to the great Diana Damrau as Mozart’s Queen of the Night threatening her daughter with worse than hell on earth if she won’t do as she’s told. You’ll recognize the song. It’s not a happy one. Focus on Damrau’s face as you enjoy the singing.
Be disowned forever,
Abandoned forever,
Destroyed forever.
Hear, Gods of Revenge, a mother’s oath!
Some mother. Thank God this is just fiction. Or a new car pitch.
