Yes, Things Hidden comes from where you just Googled LOL.

If you want a suitable order to read Rene Girard, start with any of the introductory works

Girard Reader by him, Mimetic Theory by other authors, these are digestible

Followed by Evolution and Conversion

Next any of the other books which the theme catches your eye or intellectual interest

My favorite is obvious, also his magnum opus, but INCREDIBLE DENSE and hard to digest. Don't be stupid like I am and start with that one haha.

Good advice on staying out of the coming protests. But just as a devils advocate thought: Evil prospers when good men dont act is a famous meme. The depravity of the elites is off the scale. They literally had a paedophile island and found 20k images on epsteins hard drives and sealed the images and names. Basically a cover up.

I'm visiting organic grass-fed dairy farmer friends of mine in southern Wisconsin. Nick and I met when we both did some writing for the Doomstead Diner, after the 2008 credit collapse. He is also a mechanical engineer by training, a generalist and a spiritual seeker. We are both feeling the quickening. We have both been here before, it feels very familiar to 2007, but with so much more momentum, at such a greater scale. We both knew this was coming, we knew it would come when they did not fix the structural problems back in 2009-11. Knowing it will come and being ready for it however are vastly different things.

I told him last night, I feel as ready as I could be, but I would feel a lot more ready if I lived in an ecovillage and all the men had MMA training and their own AR-15s and the women were herbalists and dulas and appreciated good men and were a good shot too...

Hi John Paul.

I'm in the process of translating this here piece into French for my blog (skidmark.blog). Not the first one, by the way. Hope it's ok with you.

Would you be so kind as to point me to the articles the screen captures come from, so that I don't have to type the whole text over again before processing it through my translating thingy?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi, this is totally off topic but I think you might be interested in it: I was just made aware of an outbreak of Japan B Encephalitis in Australia - 5 cases there from 1995 til 2022 in just a tiny northern subinsula, 40 cases now since March this year widely spread over the country. The presenter of the channel considered 'heavy rains' to be the underlying cause... climate change, here we go again.

'plausible deniability'

The favorite words of those who profit from toxic chemical use, be they pesticides, endocrine disruptors, vaccines . . . the list goes on and on.

In Hungary currently there is quite a big drought going on like in many other countries.

But currently death threats are going around by farmers who are threatening operators of an anti-hail silver iodide rocket operators employed by a national office of agriculture. Link: https://www.nak.hu/szolgaltatasok/jeger

The office promised the farmers that due to drought they will halt operation but farmers hear and see that the system is regularly in operation.

I mean again we are at a discussion which absolutely doesn't make any sense. You are trying to prevent hail damage when they are talking about already a 1+ billion euro lost worth of agricultural product?? Seriously? This can not be accidental at this point...
