devolution |ˌdevəˈlo͞oSHən|

noun

1) formal descent or degeneration to a lower or worse state: the devolution of creative inquiry into empirical dogma; resulting in a religion posing as science:

Huh. Where to begin. With the behaviorists?

“You can’t convince a chimpanzee to give you a banana with the promise it will get 20 more bananas in chimpanzee heaven. It won’t do it. But humans will”

-Yuval Noah Harari

Descartes believed in God, and one can extrapolate from that, a heaven. And you'd have to believe in a heaven to set yourself up with a fatal trap you don't know how to undo. Sort of like the trap where technology to clean up, and dispose of, the melted cores at Fukushima hasn't been invented yet; recalling Einstein's much neglected observation:

“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them"

Applying a spiritual dimension to this, It'd make much more sense to assert 'man made god in man's image' considering the stupidity of our divine inspirations, not only origins:

“It is not yet known if the fuel melted into or through the containment vessel’s concrete floor, and determining the fuel’s radioactivity and location is crucial to inventing the technology to remove the melted fuel”

In other words, General Electric & Westinghouse et al, had sent our world's population off to enjoy a nuclear skydiving hobby, the planes are provided for your opportunity to jump, and you're provided a placebo parachute, because the ripcord hasn't been invented yet. Uh... heaven bound? Just wait, it gets 'better.'

"‘The Problem of Objectivity’ challenges the Cartesian picture according to which there is a metaphysical distinction between the inner and the outer, knowledge of one's own mind is more fundamental and secure than knowledge of other minds, knowledge is based on data given to the individual mind, and acquisition of knowledge is based on a progression from the subjective to the objective"

Well, that's quite a mouth-full, but, maybe there's someone out there with similar but better distilled observation:

“The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment”

-Theoretical physicist Bernard d’Espagnat

And so it is 'human consciousness', a-la-Cartesian 'objectivity' based in 'science', with all of its glorious empirical dogma, creates a machine that, when it breaks, not only is it incredibly toxic, the technology to clean it up hasn't been invented yet. Chimps were never so stupid. When the behaviorists invented a scale comparing a chimp's IQ to that of a human, we should probably have named it the human 'narciss-o-meter'

I once heard a Native American tell a joke story about an indigenous champion wrestler. In short, when this Indian had finally earned a shot at a professional championship match, he had to meet 'The Pretzel' with a reputation for turning his opponents into German pastry. When this Indian had been put into 'the pretzel hold' and his demise was assured, his coaching corner couldn't bear to watch and averted their eyes. But when they looked again, their Indian was standing with referee holding his arm in the air, he'd won! Asked "HOW DID YOU DO IT?!" The Indian replied: "It was all but over. The Pretzel had me in his pretzel hold. It was then, I felt something, hanging in front of my face, and I bit it. You know, it is amazing what a man can do when he bites himself in the balls."

Now, what this next has to do with 'man' biting himself in the balls, and if that's actually an 'objective' solution, I will leave to your conjecture:

Suppose, in 2029 or 2019, next week, or whenever, a sun generated electro-magnetic pulse destroys a major portion of, or all of the Northern hemisphere's large transformers, critical to propping up (the heart of) the grid and the replacements are not yet manufactured. It follows, all of the available reserve resources have to be, first and foremost, directed to keeping Europe's 186, and the USA's 104, of the world's five hundred or so nuclear reactors, cooled. This happens from fuel reserves which must be pumped from underground storage; and the only means to do that is to use severely limited above ground fuel reserves to recover and deliver the fuel necessary to cool the unspent & spent cores and manufacturing the many heavy transformers & repairing the grid will require years, possibly decades. But, social upheaval, related to immediate survival, prevented this. Five hundred Fukushimas (shortly) later, and then two hundred million years into the future, radiation adapted 'intelligent' life manifests, descended from cockroaches, who reinvent Fukushima:

I stole this preceding story (and 'modified' it) from a neocon with a habit of lying or self-deceit, I'm not certain which, or maybe he went as far as he thought he could run with the EMP-transformers-grid scenario and hoped someone would fill in what amounts to 'lies by omission.' In any case, the guy had been kicked out of the Bush Jr neocon 'intelligence' circle, no matter the reasons given, that almost makes him smell right.

In his: Worst Case EMP Scenario? Half in the U.S. Dead that could been titled 'best case EMP scenario' Michael Maloof cites NASA as a source:

"with an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, generated from the sun’s flares – some of which can be up to 10 times the size of the Earth – the unprotected grid, including transformers, electrical components and automated control systems that everyone takes for granted in their everyday lives, could either be severely damaged or fried, taking months if not years to replace.

"NASA estimates that a direct hit to Earth from one of these enormous flares would have a catastrophic impact on the nation’s critical infrastructures over a very wide geographical area.

"In the first year alone, NASA estimates, such a disaster could cost just the U.S. upwards of $2 trillion. It also would take from four to 10 years to recover – if that even would be possible – and affect the lives of some 160 million people, threatening starvation and death.

"Some EMP experts say that such a catastrophic event could wipe out America’s urban centers, due to their total dependency on critical infrastructures for electricity, communications, food and water delivery, oil and gas, transportation, automated banking and financial institutions and even emergency services.

"The experts say grocery stores, for example, would have their shelves cleared in a matter of hours due to the panic that would sweep the population. Normally, grocery stores carry a maximum of three days of products before being restocked. However, restocking would come to a halt due to the inability of trucks to function, with fueling stations unable to pump the fuel needed to run the vehicles"

Nowhere in his article does Maloof mention what happens to the nuclear reactors. What the f**k does NASA actually think happens with those? Oh, that's right, we can generate a plan and pull it out of our anus when an EMP hits, because we never figured out what we'd do about it, prior to it happening. Just like Fukushima.

Do you suppose, with the real 'worst case scenario' on their desks (it's impossible to imagine this 'problem' has never been identified) those 'powers that be' would begin dismantling the world's nuke plants, post-haste? Nah. Too much 'quality of life' loss for the shareholder. They'll build you a virtual space-ark instead and you know where that actually leaves you, dear reader, that is 'in situ', or just another body in a very wide-spread mulch pile that will be a feast for the cockroaches.

devolution |ˌdevəˈlo͞oSHən|

noun

• formal; descent or degeneration to a lower or worse state: the devolution of the public institution into an organized crime syndicate.

“As of tonight, the Department of Justice has authorized the informant to disclose to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, as well as one member of each of their staffs, any information or documents he has concerning alleged corruption or bribery involving transactions in the uranium market, including but not limited to anything related to Vadim Mikerin, Rosatom, Tenex, Uranium One, or the Clinton Foundation”

I was watching what I consider to be the worst of the Russian produced kid's programs, 'fixies' (in English), concerning 'imaginary friends' who will vanish if their role is disclosed to adults. But it was much more than this; the child's 'imaginary friends' are presented as inside an online computer screen. The father decides to check up on what the kid is watching, and rather than actually take time and sit down and watch with the kid, he merely questions the child as to the characters' roles. Because the 'imaginary friends' (but presented as virtual reality 'friends') will be endangered if their role is disclosed (supposedly showing kids how to repair broken things), the child 'invents' roles (lies) concerning the online computer animation and ultimately this lying to the parent is presented to the child as a successful strategy. Allowing children to watch 'fixies' is like sending kids to attend school to prepare those children for a life of denial. Relevant to presenting a strategy of concealing online activity from the parent, predators never had a better friend than 'fixies.'

^ lying to parent scene begins at minute 12:58

'fixies' is a relatively 'new' program (since 2011) and one wonders when, more than if, some socially astute observer (with a wider platform than this modest blog) notes the sociopath-preparatory-predatory nature of the program. 'fixies' has already impacted its' first generation of children, as a popular animations series, across language barriers.

Meanwhile, the USA produced 'Dexter', into its' 2nd generation, presents our children with role models of a vicious, one could say murderous, sibling rivalry, with disconnected parents who're abused servants and the child behavior communicates evil to be normal. In this 'banned' (solely for profanity, not message) episode, which is not far removed from the episodes kids watch everyday, it is interesting to note Dexter, and his sister Deedee, lie to themselves as hyper-rude characters, when reincorporating their own rudeness to become 'normal' rude characters:

As well, 'anything goes' when the parents are absent, the role models & resultant acculturation are psychotic and criminal.

These are simply recent examples of what has gone on (lies) for a very long time but with a twist; the Church at Rome (and its' several schisms or spin offs) instilled violence with propaganda, and aligned with special interests, resulted in centuries of wars throughout Europe. But in a mere 90 years, the inspirations of Edwards Bernays, applying Freudian technique to advertising in the field of 'public relations' (e.g. Goebbels modeled his state propaganda product on Bernays' work) arguably has outdone Rome's past 1,700 years 'Christian' aggression's propaganda damage in total. Now, the liberal democracies inspirations to 'freedom', in the cyber age, has loosed anyone with a 'cute' idea onto our children, across non-existent frontiers. If the Russians were to clean up 'fixies', demanding socially responsible message, and ban the artists and producers, the western democracies would howl 'censorship' like pigs in a slaughterhouse. Meanwhile our Department of Justice can behave like Dexter, on a world stage, and it is perceived as 'normal' by a majority of propagandized Americans.

What happens to the children who mature into adults in cultures where lying and denial are presented in format as REWARDED aggressive, sociopathic precursors to lies which are conditioned, socially innate, first nature of its players? Their first instinct would be to gag those who didn't play according to script:

As former military intelligence professional Colonel Anthony Schaffer notes in his interview concerning Sessions, it is more likely than not, the entire top tier of American law enforcement is compromised in the matter of covering up corrupt dealings with Russian corporate entities, and he names the primary players investigating 'the Russians stole the election' propaganda hyperbole (a.k.a. the Trump fired Comey case) as complicit players in the coverup of an entirely separate Russia case; including Robert Mueller who has rushed (and no doubt is behind the leaked information) to gain his first indictment in 'the Russians did it' case with charges still under seal. Did Sessions hold up the Uranium One witness long enough to allow Mueller to gain time to secure an indictment in the entirely separate Comey firing case? It is probably what's up and here's why:

Corruption crosses party lines. Robert Mueller has been a steady mafia foot-soldier who got his start in government corruption, particularly in relation to FBI-CIA collusion, under former CIA director and then President George H.W. Bush's Department of Justice. As a DoJ attorney tasked with two Central Intelligence Agency projects, framing Libya for the Lockerbie Pan Am 103 bombing [1, 2, 3] ...

"FBI Director Robert Mueller, who headed up the [Lockerbie] investigation while Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice..."

...and sinking the BCCI Iran-Contra related international arms & narcotics money laundering investigation [4] Mueller moved to head of the FBI within months of George W. Bush coming into office. Did Robert Mueller investigate the crimes of the Bush Jr administration? The answer is a resounding no, rather Mueller was crucial in providing cover for those crimes or, as a former FBI agent who worked 9/11 intelligence puts it [5]

"Mueller was chosen ... not because he has integrity but because he will do what the powerful want him to do"

In fact, Robert Mueller had been so critical to the seamless transition of CIA crime within the deep state, when changing from Republican to Democratic administrations, Congress was convinced to extend his term limit from 10 to 12 years, keeping Mueller heading up the FBI 4 years into the Obama Administration [6]

Finally, we have to ask, did Robert Mueller pursue the Rosatom "Uranium One" case [7] where many tens of millions of dollars (at the least) were funneled to the Clinton Foundation? The answer is plainly no. Did the FBI's James Comey, whose firing by Trump is the pretext for Mueller having been appointed Special Counsel, pursue the Uranium One case? The answer is plainly no. But now, with a known to have cooperated with the FBI as witness to the scheme, from the inside, initially this witness was gagged with threat of severe criminal penalties and that smelled seriously bad. So 'the gag order has been lifted' is the headline but that's not true either, recalling:

“As of tonight, the Department of Justice has authorized the informant to disclose to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, as well as one member of each of their staffs, any information or documents he has concerning alleged corruption or bribery involving transactions in the uranium market, including but not limited to anything related to Vadim Mikerin, Rosatom, Tenex, Uranium One, or the Clinton Foundation,” [8]

Excuse me, but that is precisely 12 people who the FBI informant who is now a supposedly 'un-gagged' witness will be allowed to speak in the presence of, in secret, and accompanied by Department of Justice baby-sitters. A 'limited hangout' is typically when a covert operation or corrupt political issue has sprung, or is about to spring, a bad leak and the damage control technique applied is to allow some limited action or information to be applied; indicating a positive response and action by the responsible institutions when in fact the opposite is true.

What we have in actuality is a desperate rearguard action to delay, initially, and then contain the Rosatom affair by Department of Justice officials beholden to the Bush family who're GOP "Never Trump" leading figures [9] and whose 2016 election preference, following the primaries, had been Hillary Clinton. In fact, a Bush-Clinton nexus of CIA organized crime has existed since the heyday of Iran-Contra [10]

Recalling Chuck Schumer's...

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you” [11]

...and the fact the "Never Trump" Bush family criminal syndicate is the CIA's own 'First Family', what we see symptom of is, Mueller, Sessions et al, desperately attempting to move the CIA invention 'the Russians stole the presidency' [12, 13, 14] and related propaganda prosecutions forward, while delaying and ultimately impeding investigation into real parties covering up corruption involving Russians.

The ultimate aim of the present players is to delay Uranium One and accelerate Trump's removal and let a soon to be President Pence subsequently contain the Uranium One damage, to protect the several loyal career Bush foot-soldiers. The number one soldier is Robert Mueller, who owes his career climb to both Bush presidents, while protecting from prosecution several criminal endeavors of the Central Intelligence Agency; but I expect Mueller did not anticipate his present complicity in precisely such a criminal endeavor would be revealed; in today's CIA endeavor to remove Trump.

To put the preceding into a bit wider perspective, Mike Pence, Jeff Sessions, the CIA's Mike Pompeo, and National Intelligence Director Dan Coats, all, are fraternal brothers belonging to 'The Fellowship' [15] which includes both Presidents Bush, and it just so happens Hillary Clinton is a long time associate [16]

If anyone were to doubt the Department of Justice is covering for criminals in collusion with the CIA, one need look no further than the documented case of the narco-cartel serial killer (assassin) Enrique Prado who has doubled as a high ranking CIA official that determined detectives and federal prosecutors have not been able to put away because Robert Mueller and James Comey have not only refused to cooperate with prosecuting Prado but have stood in the way [17]
