Very powerful piece. The best visualization is one where the lunacy doesn't capture all the people, that there are some people left who are not driven by profit. That means living in a whole new way, and we ought to start talking about it and letting this paradigm fade from lack of relevancy. It's difficult to imagine that but we have a lot of visualizing to do. However things are so dire, that it tends to make one concentrate on the direness. The power is in choosing where to put our attention and that would best be served by putting it towards building a new civilization.

Thank you for this Emanuel. When mentioning the expressions of the psychopayhology that is taking over the culture, please don't forget to also mention the thousands and thousands of palestinian children, elderly, women amd men (including numerous human rights activists) who have been kidnapped from their bed at night by zionist terrorists and are held hostage without trial and tortured in the zionist torture dungeons. Suffocated, beaten, raped and tortured to death by the supremacist zionist Nazis.

Let is not keep silent about these tortured hostages and the unspeakable de-humanization of the native people by the zionist billionaires' propaganda machine. Especially so when talking about the pathology that got hold of our institutions and culture. The nazi zionist supremacist mentality and practices also plays a huge part in the corruption of american institutions and culture, IMHO

the merger of the US and Israeli miliitary security complex is the most important development of our time, the greatest threat. In fact, those guys pay the big bucks to promote China North Korea and Iran as a "threat"

PLEASE get the 'climate change' nonsense out of your manifesto, everything else you say is 100% spot on except for that damned giant green grift!

Anyone with 2 brain cells would know that 'NET ZERO' is an utterly insane off the charts idiocy, an absolute mathematical, physical, statistical and practical impossibility that can never be achieved or exist in reality!

Electricity has to come from somewhere, and the only reliable sources are coal, oil and gas (nukes don't cut it, the radioactive waste is too poisonous).

The 'CLIMATE CHAOS' fraud is the excuse and propaganda misdirection justifying attacks on farming and food, concealing a profoundly inimical globalist genocidal enslavement scheme.

Do you want to live in the squalor and drudgery and misery of the pre-industrial age? HELL NO!

HANDS OFF MY GAS STOVE! I LOVE MY GAS STOVE! Ever try to cook on an electric stove - absolute nightmare!

Can't say this often enough! CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED GREEN GRIFT AGENDA! climateviewer.com

All life on earth is being assaulted by THE TECHNOCRATIC OMNIWAR! RESIST! DO NOT CONSENT TO ALL THINGS DIGITAL, 'SMART', AI, 5G, NO CASH - ALL OF IT! dhughes.substack.com Technocrat ruling class psychos get a sadistic thrill from their powers over life and death and hurting all who stand in their way and they need the resources worldwide to build their digital total slavery control grids (herd survivors into 15 minute city digital prisons)!

AI is designed to be anti-human/anti-life programmed by technocrat control freak psychos - garbage in = garbage out. Everyone got along just fine without all these absurd and downright satanic electronic gadgets that did not exist until recently. NOBODY NEEDS THIS AI CRAP!

Love your work Amy and grateful for your voice of reason in the desert. I worked on climate change as a professor for years and although there are definitely different interpretation and theories, there really is no doubt as to the cause and result. The evidence is all around us. I read the material on Covid and I could tell it was a fraud in 30 minutes. In the case of climate change, much of the serious research is serious. The trash used by WEF is not based on the research. I have friends dismissed from their jobs for taking on climate change. It was most certainly not a scam of the rich---although later they started using it as a prop

Hard hitting Emanuel. You capture the plutocratic mire society is in. For many people though, they don't accept that there really is a deep state. Many "believe" the super rich, or predator class, as some call them, are too fickle to ever coordinate anything, which is stupid of course.

Though we are told about the problem of "climate change" and the need for society to adjust with changes to our technology (switch to electric and reduce fossil fuels) the push to restart nuclear power to provide electricity to fuel the vast server farms to power AI is the tell that we are moving into a techno-totalitarian society. They, the plutocracy need vast quantities of electricity to fuel domination of society. AI is writing algorithms, and AI is conducting warfare.

We need to full on call out the plutocracy and demand they stand down, or be taken down, and with this simple assertion of intention, build a mass movement of real democrats who value humanity and nature, and reclaim and restore dignity that is being lost, sucked up into, a vast vacuum of depravity and high tech barbarism. This is the purpose of a green liberty movement.

Just not getting it. This is a fucking Jewish project. AGI and Digital Gulags. Do your own due diligence and research how deeply perverted the Jews of Oracle, Google, NSO, Pegasus, Unit 8200, Silicon Wadi, and Mossad and on and on.

Social control and Universal Basic Fucking Chump Change Income. Research please. Gaza and Syria and Lebanon and Vassal Arab states are the Judaic proving grounds.

Due diligence to understand their meglamamania and misanthropy. Jewish DNA senor.

"What exactly went wrong ?" Although this is old material, I still think it is the best answer I found so far on the web to your question... We simply must > be careful < so in the rat race to nowhere and the so called "progress", modernity and automation, we will not eliminate our self...

I know I'm owed millions plus interest over these decades of fraud taxation slave labor wages, oligarchy created illegal tax inflation right into their Mediterranean yaughts pretending I am not worthy of a home without threats of foreclosure. Time has come to take it all back plus interest. Its all a con job against All rights of liberty!

Towards the final innings of a long life, the discouraging developments you outline have not gone unnoticed. The enormous momentum of current mindless mediocrity seems almost inevitably headed for something even worse, and the cascading collapse of the natural world we evolved out of, and formerly supported us, proceeds in an accelerating fashion. It’s hard to see a happy end to any of it, though certainly, like Rome, some end will come. As vague as it now is, that would appear to be the only hopeful possibility left.

“Quick! Do something. Anything, just do SOMETHING!” Mental illness is all in the mind, there is no technical test only recoded behavior and the results. Don’t worry, the world will self correct. The social scientists will fix everything…just do as they say.
