There was an Amiga developer conference in Atlanta in the early 90s
that I attended.? It was held at the Omni and I stayed there.? You
could see CNN at the top flood when looking up the courtyard.? There
was a shopping area at bottom and they had Headline News setup in a
booth? so you could see it being produced.
Thing I remember about that was going to a bake shop there that
advertised coffee and asking for an espresso and hearing "sorry sir,
we don't serve alcoholic drinks." ?

Re: And then they came for the yogis and meditators
So glad they published this article. The list of conspiracy theory adherents will be a great culling guide if I ever date again. I'll ask
future prospects do they know or follow any of these people or do they follow any of these trends or beliefs.Don't want to waste time
with wackadoddles. My late wife and I tried to be as evidence based as possible. She will be a hard act to follow if I ever move on.

They have a problem - it's called cognitive dissonance - been a problem with them for a very long time - apparently for decades. Everyone knows that the TB informants posting to the MJ Group are some of the biggest conspiracy nuts posting to the internet! YMMV. Spiritual seekers are attracted to the idea of hidden and secret knowledge and the existence of a grand cosmic plan. Uncle T. claimed to have tacked up hundreds of posters all over LA advertising instant enlightenment. He once posted that the most important thing he learned from his guru Rama, was that "everything is connected." Go figure. Read on the internet" "Yoga has embraced a transcendental vision of itself, with the figure of the ‘crazy yogi’ a symbol of collective consciousness."

1.? All you have to do is read it for yourself and believe
your lyin' eyes.? Your mind is hobbled in some way—I don't get
it, honestly.??
the first site listed with the report was the FEMA
training site.? I posted that so anyone interested could read
the report and of course FEMA would be a "credible" site.
Indeed just like Covid computer models it is "model" not a

It looks like the QAnons have recently been instructed by “Q” himself to abandon QAnon terminology, so they are just hiding out using other handles. Go figure. Recently there was a purge of QAnon accounts. All this suppression just forces the conspiracy theorists to shift into other forms. Now they are deep into cloaking. I recently read that everyone believes in at least one conspiracy theory. YMMV.

According to what I've read, the nonbinding Paris Agreement can’t
compel China to change course. Go figure.
Too many people.? China tried a "one child" policy but it didn't
work because of cultural patterns and went against their economic
model which would have needed to change for that policy to work.? If
the planet had continued to the space programs to colonize the moon
and Mars any population expansion would have been moot because many
would have wanted to be "pioneers" and live in those colonies even
if they died tried to get there.
The fundamental purpose of life is reproduction.? We are given minds
to control that impulse and religion and politics were invented to
keep it under control for those with weak minds.? We created
programs like Social Security so that people didn't feel a need to
have a large family so that at least one of the children would be
there in old age to take care of them.? Now we have a shortage of
jobs as there is not enough that needs to be done.? So an annual
basic income would solve the problem and pay for itself by keeping
people from getting into crime to survive because court and
incarceration costs eat up a lot of tax revenue.
But then maybe this push for "everyone to get the vaccine" is the
"Utopia" UK TV series scenario where a vaccine was developed against
an imaginary flu but it's real purpose was to sterilize the public
to reduce population expansion and hunger for resources. Right now
it the vaccines seem to be an experiment to see what RNA
nanoparticles do to the human body.

In fact, from a 2004 review of said report:?
While?The Observer?sensationalized the story with its
erroneous claim that the report was “secret” and “suppressed
by U.S. defense chiefs” when in fact it had already been
publicly discussed, the document is worthy of even
the British press’ flair for melodrama.?
When Muckraker contacted White House?Council on

“I haven’t seen it, I haven’t read it, and I don’t want to make
any comments on the matter. As I understand it, this is
a ‘what-if’ scenario — not a diagnosis, not a prophecy, and
not a foundation for new policy.”
