It doesn’t surprise me in the least that Jordan Peterson and his ARC organisation are nothing more than controlled opposition, as has now been decisively demonstrated by two articles by Michael Ginsberg and Ursula Edgington and a video from Sonia Poulton.
These fake rebels have not even separated themselves from the politicians and institutions behind the Great Reset, let alone from the underlying financial-industrial complex that is at the root of the problem.
As Michael and Ursula write, the ARC Advisory Board members’ “close associations with the WEF, WHO, Gates and Big Pharma, as well as corrupt overseas regimes are all hidden in plain sight”.
This has been, as Sonia remarks, a “really interesting period”, because “there’s been so many people who’ve come through that gap of the culture wars and, bit by bit, we’re discovering that they are not who they claim to be”.
I saw the same, a few months back, with Robert Malone, who is advancing the same industrial-imperialist agenda as the World Bank!
Fellow Nevermore contributor Margaret Anna Alice has also now seen through this high-profile “freedom fighter”, whom she had previously gone out of her way to defend.
Alexandr Dugin, the Russian thinker marketed to a certain niche milieu as offering a deeply radical alternative to Western ideology, also turned out to be a fraud.
The same is true of the BRICS phenomenon that Dugin promotes, designed to appeal to people who are aware of the corruption of “the West” but who are being conned into cheerleading for the same global mafia masquerading as a “multipolar” alternative.
Remember that the official 2023 BRICS declaration uses the term “sustainable development” 21 times and states: “We reiterate our commitment to enhancing and improving global governance”.
This general phenomenon is something that was concerning me at the start of 2022, when I warned that the awakening rebel energy of the Covid-sparked truth and freedom movement had to be rooted in a real understanding of the long-term issues at stake.
In my book The Withway I wrote that a political space had opened up since March
2020 in which it was possible to voice and share the kind of fundamental critique of the global system which was previously considered extremely marginal.
I tried to show that the nightmare imposed upon us under the Covid “emergency” was merely the logical conclusion of our departure from the natural order and the associated domination of power, greed, money and industry.
And I warned of the danger of leaving intact all the infrastructures of oppression, all the weapons of control, which had brought us to this sorry point.
I asked: “Do we want them to be taken up and used against us again by a slightly different gang of rulers, or by the same old gang in one of their regular new disguises?”
We haven’t even got as far as getting rid of the old rulers, but it seems likely that anyone stepping forward as the “new broom” sweeping the world clean will, indeed, be disguised representatives of that same old gang.
We live in a maze of political lies, as I wrote in 2021, where any surge of real opposition to the system is always captured by those who have all the power that money can buy and all the money that power can provide.
It seems to me that this hijacking of political movements, so easy when you have unlimited finance and the machineries of the state at your disposal, serves three distinct purposes:
- It stops them from challenging the system’s domination, either by undermining them from within or by diverting them from an approach considered dangerous by those with power.
- It turns an opposition movement into a weapon of the very forces it initially set out to oppose, while it still gathers support from people rallying to the now-false flag of its original message.
- The anti-social activities of that corrupted movement can eventually be used to contaminate the reputation and appeal of genuine groups and initiatives who are still true to the original aims of the now-captured movement but, by appearing to be associated with it by labelling or language, are dismissed by other genuine opponents of the system as also being controlled.
We’ve seen this happen again and again throughout modern history. Look at the way that grassroots popular opposition to repression and the rule of wealth was turned, by Karl Marx and his comrades, into a cult worshipping the state and industrialism, which regarded human beings as mere “workers”, units of potential productivity.
When this cult eventually seized power in Russia, it destroyed the beginnings of grassroots popular control that had emerged in the revolutionary period and then set out to crush the peasantry, “modernise” the country and reorganise people’s lives to suit the needs of “socialist” industrialism.
I’ve already written about the way in which the anti-industrial volkisch movement in German-speaking Europe, spurned by the industrialist left, ended up being partly co-opted by the Nazis.
Although the Nazi project was unmistakably ultra-industrialist, the fact that they tricked some anti-industrialists into supporting their rise to power has subsequently been used as a stick with which to beat contemporary anti-industrialists!
A similar thing has happened in recent years with the environmentalist movement. This has been systematically taken over by system-funded NGOs, diverted away from any talk of defending nature from industrialism, made to focus entirely on the “climate” agenda and thus transformed into an astroturf marketing agency for the system’s Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The corrupted “environmentalism” promoted by the WEF et al is trying to use the excuse of “saving the planet” in order to impose a totalitarian hi-tech (and thus very ungreen!) global data-slave economy.
As a result, some opponents of that slave system react angrily to those of us who genuinely want to save nature from the destruction carried out by the same forces claiming to be providing “solutions”, and accuse us of being on the “side” of the WEF… Once again, we see phase 3 of the manipulation.
How anyone, from any perspective, can swallow the lie that the criminocratic global entity is really “environmentalist” – or wants to de-industrialise the world, rather than just shift the geographical core of that industry – is beyond me.
Everything that it says and does, everything that it is, revolves around industry.
If the very name of its Fourth Industrial Revolution is not enough of a clue for you, maybe ask yourself what is the key word in the term “United Nations Sustainable Development Goals”?
It’s not “sustainable”, as they would like us to assume, because that’s just an adjective to describe the hoped-for durability of so-called “development” – aka industrial destruction.
If you imagine that this financial growth is going to be somehow “dematerialised” by the digital matrix being deployed for the commodification of both nature and humanity, then please remind yourself that there is nothing “green” about the infrastructure needed to build their “inclusive” and “innovative” planet-sized prison and neither is there anything “clean” about the electricity that would be needed to keep it humming and watching and tracing and policing.
Industrialism – the turning of living tissue into dead matter in the interests of profit and control – is the physical reality of the system.
All the time that this physical reality endures – and also expands, for it cannot survive without that “growth” momentum – the system will also endure.
We might have a shiny new management team parachuted in, talking about sustainability and multipolarity and equity and diversity, but they will still be employees of the same old global owners.
It is no coincidence that all the captured “opposition” movements I have mentioned have been pointed in the direction of accelerating industrialism.
Although they are different in some aspects of their ideology, they all really amount to different roads with which to reach the same destination.
Industrialism is everything that is bad about this world: it is the degradation, it is the enslavement, it is the racket.
The system is inherently industrialist and so if we want to be rid of the system we have to be rid of industrialism.
This is not currently a popular stance to take! I wouldn’t win any election, anywhere, standing on an anti-industrial ticket.
Because industrialism is the means by which the system exists, our rulers have gone out of their way to ensure that most people never question its domination.
A world without industrialism is dismissed as impossible (“you can’t turn the clock back!“), undesirable (“they want to drag us back to the stone age!“) and dangerous (“think of all the lives saved by modern technology and medicine!“), with its proponents depicted as insane, naive, reactionary and/or hypocritical – just for finding ourselves living in a modern world that we don’t like!
Even if we understand that a non-industrial future is our only hope, it can still remain a little frightening – most of us are descended from several industrially-conditioned generations who have gradually forgotten what it means to live outside the cogs of the masters’ machine.
But at the same time it is also, if you think about it, a deeply appealing prospect. A post-industrial world (because yes, we would still be going forward in time, not back!) would have no smart cities or arms industries or power stations or shopping malls or airports or corporate media or chemical factories or WEF or WHO or IMF or UN or World Bank.
It would, however, have fresh air, clean water, healthy soil, trees, plants, animals, birds, insects, sunshine, rain, rivers, mountains, meadows, beaches – and, amidst all of that heaven-sent beauty, men, women and children living with quiet dignity, simple joy and a natural love of freedom.
When an opposition movement finally emerges with that vision in its heart, we’ll know that it’s for real.
PS. The other day I discussed some of the issues mentioned above in a wide-ranging 70-minute podcast conversation with Parallel Mike, which you can listen to here.

I do appreciate your comments and of course I feel your pain. I would say, however, that our campaign emanuelpastreich24.org and greenlibertycaucus.org are precisely the real opposition that you are talking about. The problem is not that we do not exist. We are plenty real and we have concrete proposals and policies. The problem is that many of the alternative blogs seem to treat us like we do not exist. This raises deep concerns on our part that the argument that there is no opposition is itself a strategy for discouraging people by pretending there is no oppositon, when there is, by pretending there is only despair, when there is in fact hope. I am most curious what you think, Paul Cudenec.

Yes of course the prospect sounds outlandish! We have been taught to believe that no reality other than the industrial one is either possible or desirable. But in fact it has been nothing but a disaster right from the start, destroying nature and dispossessing human beings of their freedom. It was industrialism that brought us the globalist tyranny we face today and industrialism that will enable it to continue and accelerate still further. We need to have a serious conversation about where humankind goes next and my humble contribution to that discussion is to propose that we turn our backs on the toxicity of industrialism and rediscover the way our ancestors all lived for thousands upon thousands of years. I will write again on the same subject very soon and hopefully shed more light on what I mean. Paul

Given that almost all of your readers have grown up in environments impacted by industry and various industrial revolutions, it seems almost impossible to imagine (much less implement) a post-industrial community of anarchists who have rejected industrialism and, with this rejection, have embraced a new social paradigm which might have emerged had the Neolithic Revolution not taken place or had the New World been settled peacefully instead of by Conquest. Don’t get me wrong. This post-industrial system is the future I greatly desire. I imagine that there are others like me, regarding the future we greatly desire. People similar to the author, Paul Cudenec, and people who share the goals of winter oak. I am woefully ignorant, unfortunately, of how to achieve this future.
Communicating about the future we want and communicating about the evils of the present system doesn’t change much. It identifies who the enemies of the State are. It doesn’t do much to overthrow the State or to change the economic system from financial-industrial to post-industrial.
I am grateful, however, to know that there are people who think and hope as I do. I gladly work to support such people. I don’t really believe that we are a (so-called) “movement” yet. We’re simply visionaries looking for a better system in which for human beings to thrive. Maybe this new system has been promised to us and we are eagerly awaiting the fulfillment of the promise. Even if we don’t get to see the fulfillment of the promise in our lifetimes, it’s still a good thing to keep this promise alive in the forefront of our minds and to pass this promise on to future generations.
The enemy is combined. There is great destruction on the horizon, considering the real threat of world government and that government being dominated by pathocrats, who are in league with the United States Dept of Defense and with the World Economic Forum and with the Bank of International Settlements and with the Jesuits (who are the military arm of the Black Nobility) and with the World Health Organization. All of these above entities have their own agendas, some of which are not in harmony with each other. All of these above political and economic entities are, however, 100% pro industrialism and are 100% antithetical to living nature, the biosphere, human beings living in sacred harmony with Mother Earth and Father God.

The most important thing for me is to simplify our lives, our systems, countries, bureaucracies, everything to a level where we have actual understanding of the world and real control over our lives and environment. With industry, globalization and especially high tech I don’t think people will have a chance to fight the system because of its complexity and non humanity. I am not for a no industry, but it must be local and people have to own the means of production and the land to produce. Close to the land, to the rivers and the birds.

You wrote: “real opposition to the system is always captured by those who have all the power that money can buy and all the money that power can provide.”
But does this not occur because we are all leaving the question of money itself unchallenged? In fact, are we not all going along with the very core conceptual nonsense about money that gives it its “power” only to then whine about how that power is used!? It should be clear that the process of liberation will not be facilitated by the very monetary system brought in with colonialism used to subjugate, ‘monetize, and commoditize’ nature itself along with the colonized peoples. The full capacity of a people comes by recognizing that the “credit” for all the doing that needs to be done is NOT dependent on some omniscient “on high” beforehand creation of abstract units of representation. No, the full capacity recognizes that The People can no more run out of money than they can run out of inches! We must bring the focus to ‘What’ is wrong with our conceptual base as opposed to focusing on ‘Who’ is using that illogical starting point and trying to make it work. We have precious little time before our own monetary illiteracy consumes this whole mess. Critical review of the ‘science’ of economics using your own thinking powers will help you stop ‘standing under’ fallacious doctrines from ages past. We use monetary units as an abstract tool for the representation of the value of something else. We call out/represent/keep records about all that we say has ‘value’ in our interchange with each other using these abstract units. We use this sign ($) (and others in different places) for the abstract representation of a unit of ‘value’ in the same way we use this (lb.) (and kg in other places) to represent a unit of weight. But then, most all people are going along with the illiterate nonsense that the Abstract Unit for the representation of the value in other things is also an Item of Value all by itself. However, if it is an abstract conceptual unit to help facilitate record keeping and assessment of the value of other things, then how can it also be one of those things whose value it is being used to assess and keep records about!? But it gets worse. Most people also seem to be comfortable with the illiterate absurdity that these ‘abstract units of value representation’ require an Abstract Unit Of Value Representation Creator before the populace can assign value to and keep track of the value of their stuff! And apparently most are also of the mind to think that there is some magical incantation that happens such that the Abstract Units of Value Representation, once an authoritarian declares their existence and seeming disregard in whose ‘interests’ this money creation process primarily occurs, become items of ‘value’ that they themselves call out and represent in the same way they call out and represent the value of all the rest of the goods and services in the economy; and that now there can be a magical market buying and selling these Abstract Units of Value Representation and that this market can become ‘more real’ and subjugate the entirety of the natural goods and services and activity that humanity and the earth have to offer, that all this can be subjugated to whomever it is that ‘owns’ the most of these Abstract Units Of Value Representation! Did I mention that authoritarians claim magical powers of unit creation? The question remains for humanity to address that if the functional use of money is as an accounting tool that comes in support of our own freely chosen and directed activity (as a record, an annotation of value) and after the doing gets done, then there should be no logical way any people can ‘run out of money.’ We Are ALL Part Of This. We ALL Must Respond. “The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same forms of mental pathology does not make these people sane.”― Erich Fromm, The Sane Society http://bibocurrency.com/index.php/downloads-2/19-english-root/learn/300-you-have-been-served
From the desk of The MSTA: This Urgent Communiqué shows how our day-to-day understanding and use of money has a fatal flaw, resulting in a fundamental disconnect between “finance” and the real world. The unquestioning use of money by all, under this false paradigm, perpetuates misrepresentation throughout the economy, creating a ripple effect of evermore unconscionable behaviour and risk, with global impact. We show how this can be remedied, enabling us to do more of what we know we should and could do, but are ‘prevented’ from doing because of unbounded increases of so-called financial ‘risk’ that have no basis in reality. If we all play a part we can set the record straight and ensure that money is properly defined, ending its misuse and misrepresentation and most of the resulting nefarious effects of endless instability. Please forward this urgent communication (link below) to your political and fiscal representatives and request they take action. This Urgent Communiqué I like to dub “You Have Been Served” because we are all liable for “money’s core misrepresentation” and once alerted of it we can no longer claim “innocent misrepresentation” and to ignore it is to risk manifesting a “reckless disregard” (i.e. fraudulent misrepresentation). http://bibocurrency.com/index.php/downloads-2/19-english-root/learn/300-you-have-been-served
