Incredulous,
Last week's post, "Drive Through DUMB", featuring a video from a truck driving into a vast underground freight docking area, carved from stone, was novel. I had only heard-tell about these. This was posted on X, Musk's platform, so it carried a cachet of quasi-governmental-approval. That implied intent to me, and I suspected that we would have a lot of new narratives opened to us in the days to come, and our responses to them would be monitored for degrees of acceptance and approval. Trump and Musk have both been doing this for a long time now.
I am not "on" X, but I am limkimng to some of these X trial-balloons and we are allreacting to them somehow, if only be re-posting them.
We can agree that the control-narratives we have been presented in recent years, like "unvaccinated killing grandma", have not merely failed, but have been revealed as being promulgated to us by murderers intending to shorten our lives and reduce our fertility, as well as to help us "own nothing and be happy".
For societal elites to maintain their executive status, the society needs to buy-into their "Noble Lies" (copyright: Plato).
We, at least 40% of us by now, are totally rejecting their control narratives, and the entire globalist project which they supported. Any financial or political elites that don't want to be keel-hauled need to pivot out of the WEF/WHO/Globalist camp r take that ride under the bus which looms for Tony Fauci and associates.
Hold this thought as you peruse today's topics. Where in the world are established control-narratives not failing? How much limited-hangout and course-correction, or joining-those-you-can't-beat will be necessary to become plausible and tentatively regain the trust and complicity of the governed? Can it be done?

Alastair Crooke thinks you can't do "Own nothing and be happy": ‘Transition’ to a new world order is beyond most in the West
Even the need for transition – just to be clear – has only just begun to be recognised in the U.S. For the European leadership however, and for the beneficiaries of financialisation who haughtily lament Trump’s ‘storm’ unwisely unleashed on the world, his base economic theses are ridiculed as bizarre notions completely divorced from economic ‘reality’.
That is completely untrue.
For, as Greek Economist Yanis Varoufakis points out, the reality of the western situation and the need for transition was clearly spelled out by Paul Volcker, former chair of the Federal Reserve, as long ago as 2005.
The harsh ‘fact’ of the liberal globalist economic paradigm was evident even then...
..Trump is in the process of blowing up the world trading system so as to re-set it. Those western liberals, who today are gnashing teeth and lamenting the advent of ‘Trumpian economics’, are simply in denial that Trump has at least recognised the most important American reality – ie. that the pattern can’t go on indefinitely, and that debt-led consumerism is way past its sell-by date. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2025/05/19/transition-to-new-world-order-beyond-most-in-west/

Jim Kunstler says the swamp is in a panic, presenting an Epstein-free read of the Barteromo interview with Patel and Bongino: Swamp Fever
Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday morning session with FBI top dawgs Patel and Bongino must have been a near-death experience for them. Something Roto-rooterish this way comes, officialdom must be thinking, if you can call utter hysteria “thinking.”.....Alas, most non-capital federal crimes (acts short of treason and murder) have a five-year statute of limitations (18 U.S.C. § 3282), so the multitudinous felonious misdeeds of RussiaGate will go unpunished. Stzrok, McCabe, Rosenstein, Pientka, Ohr (and wife Nellie), Thibault, Baker, Atkinson, Halper, Horowitz, Lynch, Yates, et al., will skate off into the sunset, but not without lasting reputational damage. Mr. Obama’s presidential aura will surely lose a lot of its luster.
But there is plenty to keep the DOJ busy with more recent turpitudes carried out with the election of “Joe Biden,” including perhaps the 2020 election itself in the months before November, 2025, when the statute of limitations kicks in for that caper. Mainly, what looms is a reckoning over “Joe Biden’s” fake presidency and the momentous question as to who was really running the executive branch of the government, most particularly who was using the devious “auto-pen” to sign off on executive orders and perhaps even on legislation. https://www.kunstler.com/p/swamp-fever-0b0

Handwashing: US should never have intervened in Ukraine – Trump
The US president believes Kiev would be “better off” if the conflict with Moscow had “remained a European situation” US President Donald Trump has rebuked his predecessor, Joe Biden, for funneling vast amounts of American taxpayer money into a foreign conflict that “should have remained a European situation.”
Speaking to reporters at the White House following a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, Trump expressed frustration over the “crazy” scale of US involvement in the Ukraine conflict. He reiterated that it is “not our war” and stressed that his administration is working to end it through diplomacy.
“This is not our war. This is not my war… I mean, we got ourselves entangled in something that we shouldn’t have been involved in. And we would have been a lot better off – and maybe the whole thing would have been better off – because it can’t be much worse. It’s a real mess,” Trump said. https://swentr.site/news/617888-us-never-intervened-ukraine-trump/

Gilbert Doctorow argues that the 2022 Istanbul agreement was never seenas likely by any parties,and Ukraine was sabotaging it before BoJo got to Kiev:
Vladimir Putin’s latest faux pas in relations with Donald Trump to end the war... Point 2: When he announced his riposte to the Europeans’ threats of devastating sanctions if he did not immediately agree to a cease-fire, proposing instead a Russian-Ukrainian meeting in Istanbul on 15 May, Putin should have specified then and there at what level (working level) and what the subject for talks would be exactly. By not doing so, he let Zelensky run away with the PR credits by making himself available in Istanbul while Putin refused to come.
Point 3: Putin should not have suggested Istanbul for these talks, because the host, Erdogan, is pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian on the key points of territorial concessions. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/05/20/vladimir-putins-latest-faux-pas-in-relations-with-donald-trump-to-end-the-war/

Simplicius explains that "Shadow Fleet" is not a legal term on the high seas, but sounds better than "lacks insurance from Lloyds of London":
Baltic Provocations Heat Up: Estonia Again Plays with Fire, This Time Gets BurnedExcept one small problem—you see, the EU’s sanctions specifically barred Russia from obtaining normal Western insurance for its ships... They cut Russia out of the largest insurance market, then attempt to “enforce” Russia’s “illegal” lack of insurance for its ships. The only definition of a “shadow fleet” tanker is one which is not registered in London’s insurance market, because it was deplatformed by the criminal ‘Rules Based Order...
..Russia is no longer tolerating this behavior. It sent an Su-35S to buzz Estonian assets, which immediately scurried off, allowing the Russian ship to successfully continue navigating toward St. Petersburg. Estonia claims that the Su-35S violated its airspace in speeding to the scene of the crime—well, one supposes that’s a justified tit-for-tat given that Estonia violated international law for safe maritime passage in illegally obstructing the ship. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/baltic-provocations-heat-up-estonia
Andrew Korybko: What Comes Next After The (Allegedly Fraudulent) Liberal-Globalist Victory In Romania? https://korybko.substack.com/p/what-comes-next-after-the-allegedly
Numbers Don't Add Up: Eurosceptic candidate George Simion won 41% in the May 4 first round. EU favorite Nicușor Dan got 21%. In round two, Simion took 46.4%, while Dan got 53.6% - a 155% boost.
To do so, Dan needed the backing of 87% of the voters who backed neither him or Simion in the first round.
Neither of the other major first round candidates (Crin Antonescu, 20%, Victor Ponta, 13%) threw their weight behind Dan in the second round. Where did his 30%+ surge in support come from? Unclear.
Fraud in Broad Daylight: Simion has alleged that 1.7 million dead people were on voter rolls, and urged voters to check if any deceased relatives or friends voted via a dedicated WhatsApp contact line.
Diaspora voters cast 1.64 million ballots in the second round of the vote, 660,000 more than round one (which Simion handily won, 61% to Dan’s 25.4%). https://sputnikglobe.com/20250519/romanias-elections-were-a-big-globalist-sham-1122086412.html

Solar Watch, Government Psy-Op Set-Up | S0 News May.20.2025 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAjwq-rniC4 Environmental Physicist, co-originator of Biotic-Pump Model, Anastassia Makarieva, On the scientific essence of Dr. James Hansen's recent appeal
Why "a clique of climate scientists" who allegedly usurped the media, might not be ready to accept Dr. Hansen's conclusions about accelerating global warming, and why the biosphere is what matters. Currently if a person does not know something in the quite complex physics of the greenhouse effect, such a person stands a non-zero chance of being ridiculed and excluded from climate discussions. But if a person is ignorant about the processes in the biosphere, it is just fine, such a person faces no constraints in submitting authoritative opinions about our planetary perspectives. And we are all ignorant about these processes — as Bar-On et al. 2025 have just shown, after decades of research, we don’t even know where the carbon goes.
With regard to the biosphere, one’s experience of natural ecosystems sets a certain standard of what complexity is. It might be easier to brush off the biosphere trusting a model that says that the biosphere does not matter for a modeller who has never experienced the complexity of a natural forest. Depauperacy of nature experiences can be subtly influencing thinking patterns. In this situation opening the dialogue more widely to include and tolerate all people with a good will to improve the situation could be a good strategy. Probably Dr. Hansen, having experienced how unproductive excluding others’ opinions as outliers could be, could now be in a unique position to facilitate such a more inclusive discussion, for the sake of preserving the biosphere. https://bioticregulation.substack.com/p/on-the-scientific-essense-of-dr-james

These next few links and excerpts areabout the Y-Chromosome Bottleneck about 6000 years ago, which appear to have arisen in the novel social paradigm,especially among people who kept herds of livestock, that only a few males were needed,and the really good males should kill all of the inferior males. This warfare between patrilineal clans of males killed off most Y-chromosomes and achieved a male to female ration of 1:17, according to analysis. These were hard times, hard men, and hard methods of skull-splitting and torture of males. Some of this flavor can be found in the Hebrew Torah.
I am wondering if this was the Dawn of the Psychopathic and Sociopathic genes, which remain with us today, and if there is a practical way out.
Cultural hitchhiking and competition between patrilineal kin groups explain the post-Neolithic Y-chromosome bottleneck https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-04375-6
A recent bottleneck of Y chromosome diversity coincides with a global change in cultureIt is commonly thought that human genetic diversity in non-African populations was shaped primarily by an out-of-Africa dispersal 50–100 thousand yr ago (kya). Here, we present a study of 456 geographically diverse high-coverage Y chromosome sequences, including 299 newly reported samples. Applying ancient DNA calibration, we date the Y-chromosomal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) in Africa at 254 (95% CI 192–307) kya and detect a cluster of major non-African founder haplogroups in a narrow time interval at 47–52 kya, consistent with a rapid initial colonization model of Eurasia and Oceania after the out-of-Africa bottleneck. In contrast to demographic reconstructions based on mtDNA, we infer a second strong bottleneck in Y-chromosome lineages dating to the last 10 ky. We hypothesize that this bottleneck is caused by cultural changes affecting variance of reproductive success among males. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4381518/
At one point during the Neolithic era, the Y-chromosome in our species became far less diverse. Called the Neolithic bottleneck, the reason for it may have finally been revealed. https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/the-mystery-of-the-neolithic-bottleneck-may-be-over-thanks-to-one-plucky-undergrad/
"First, our proposal involves an episode in human prehistory when patrilineal descent groups were the socially salient and major unit of intergroup competition, bracketed on either side by periods when this was not the case,"
This hypothesis is also supported by a finding in the European DNA samples - shallow coalescence of the Y chromosome, a feature that indicates high levels of relatedness between males.
"Groups of males in European post-Neolithic agropastoralist cultures appear to descend patrilineally from a comparatively smaller number of progenitors when compared to hunter gatherers, and this pattern is especially pronounced among pastoralists," they explained.
"Our hypothesis would predict that post Neolithic societies, despite their larger population size, have difficulty retaining ancestral diversity of Y-chromosomes due to mechanisms that accelerate their genetic drift, which is certainly in accord with the data."
Interestingly, there were variations in the intensity of the bottleneck. It is less pronounced in East and Southeast Asian populations than in European, West or South Asian populations. This could be because pastoral cultures were much more important in the latter regions.
The team are excited to apply their methodology, which combines sociology, biology and mathematics, to other cultures, to observe how kinship links and genetic variation between cultural groups correlates with political history. https://www.sciencealert.com/neolithic-y-chromosome-bottleneck-warring-patrilineal-clans
