Beware of the pendulum. The pendulum always swings, and if you're part of it, you're getting hit by it. If you're pushing it, all you're doing is generating power from somebody else.

00:00:00.000 Beware of the pendulum. The pendulum always swings. And if you're getting hit by it, if you
00:00:12.360 are part of it, if you're pushing it, all you're doing is generating power from somebody else.
00:00:20.240 So this is a another video inspired partly by the works of Zeehan, Reality Transurfing,
00:00:31.800 but also the Kabalian, the principle of rhythm, the principle of polarity, the principle of cause and effect.
00:00:42.840 And I figure the best way to introduce this video is a personal story.
00:00:51.080 A friend of mine and I, we were at the bar, tying one off on a Friday night, good old
00:00:59.360 times, like we were still in our 20s, and sure enough, we're having a smoke and wind
00:01:05.240 up talking to a young lad that's at the bar, engineer and student, as I recall.
00:01:10.880 Very, very sharp mind on that kid.
00:01:17.960 And when he goes to the washroom, I say to my buddy,
00:01:22.160 I will bet you the next round that this kid is a liberal.
00:01:30.360 And my buddy said, no, how could he be that?
00:01:33.760 He's smart, he's practical, he's not all airy-fairy.
00:01:37.960 certainly he must
00:01:41.100 agree with our political opinions
00:01:43.500 but sure enough
00:01:46.960 the kid came back and we asked him the question
00:01:48.740 and he definitely preferred
00:01:51.520 Biden to Trump
00:01:53.420 now the way I predicted his political opinion
00:02:01.640 was actually pretty simple
00:02:07.960 we live in Alberta. Alberta is a conservative stronghold. The default baseline opinion in
00:02:16.940 Alberta is conservative. It's stupid conservative. It's conservatism for the hoi polloi. We're 1.00
00:02:25.840 not talking about the abstract principles of free market economics. We're talking about
00:02:30.720 This is the way we've always done things.
00:02:36.740 So after talking to this kid for a little while,
00:02:40.620 it's become clear to me that he is a complex thinker.
00:02:45.540 He's not satisfied with the basic answers.
00:02:49.440 And so when he rebels against conservative thought, 0.98
00:02:53.060 the simplified, moronic, conservative thought 0.98
00:02:56.760 of your typical peers from high school, 0.98
00:03:01.240 when that kid goes to university
00:03:02.920 and we're living in this environment,
00:03:06.500 we've been swimming in these waters for so long,
00:03:09.860 he's going to say,
00:03:11.140 you know what, those other waters look really interesting.
00:03:20.300 And thus you have the pendulum.
00:03:24.080 You have the rhythm.
00:03:26.760 and it's never going away.
00:03:34.720 One of my really formative political experiences,
00:03:40.840 it was during the initial, I think it was the second Obama election.
00:03:49.680 Romney, I believe, was running against Obama at that point
00:03:56.840 and the night before the election
00:03:59.320 Romney was on TV saying
00:04:01.800 this is the most important election of our lifetimes
00:04:05.260 there's going to be socialism
00:04:08.320 and the end of days
00:04:10.020 the apocalypse will happen
00:04:12.900 if Obama is allowed back into the White House
00:04:16.400 there's absolute terror fear mongering
00:04:21.540 I mean not wrong
00:04:24.940 but it's not the point
00:04:27.100 an actor on a stage can say a true thing
00:04:32.740 but he's still an actor on a stage
00:04:34.460 most important election ever
00:04:42.160 in human history get out and vote
00:04:45.160 and then
00:04:49.520 when Obama won
00:04:50.860 well you know
00:04:53.680 we did a good race
00:04:55.020 we fought as well as we could
00:04:56.620 but you know
00:04:57.320 I wish my opponent the best
00:04:59.540 day before
00:05:05.380 he was the second coming
00:05:08.040 of the Antichrist 0.99
00:05:08.960 but afterwards
00:05:12.060 oh I wish him the best
00:05:13.260 and I support him
00:05:14.900 this is a glitch in the matrix
00:05:26.660 turns out it's just a paper moon
00:05:33.660 it's all fake
00:05:36.140 they say what they need to say 1.00
00:05:41.080 and double dumbass on us 0.99
00:05:46.980 for believing them. 0.99
00:05:57.140 Here's a question for you,
00:05:59.620 which I am
00:06:00.260 I am cribbing
00:06:01.780 from Jordan Peterson, who's been getting some flack
00:06:04.600 these days, but he's said many wise things.
00:06:11.080 When you've got two different sports teams
00:06:13.460 playing for the championship,
00:06:16.540 are they competing or cooperating?
00:06:26.320 The obvious answer is that they're competing.
00:06:29.360 They both want to win the silver chalice of the Puckstick Nationals.
00:06:38.840 However, they're also cooperating.
00:06:41.080 they're both agreeing
00:06:47.080 to abide by the rules
00:06:49.680 of the competition.
00:06:52.400 And when eventually
00:06:54.420 one team is given
00:06:57.240 the golden snarl
00:07:00.040 of victory,
00:07:02.480 the other team doesn't start pulling out
00:07:04.720 AK-47s to steal it back.
00:07:11.080 All is polarity.
00:07:15.360 Opposites exist on a spectrum.
00:07:19.140 Competition and cooperation are the north and south poles of a magnet.
00:07:26.180 It's both things at once.
00:07:31.520 And so too, when the political system competes.
00:07:37.760 left, right, left, right.
00:07:52.920 If that pendulum breaks down, it becomes war.
00:07:58.700 However, even war is fought with rules.
00:08:03.000 somebody puts up the white flag
00:08:06.760 you accept their surrender
00:08:08.440 you generally
00:08:11.320 try and avoid murdering civilians
00:08:14.460 because you don't want them to murder your civilians
00:08:17.200 etc
00:08:19.560 all is polarity
00:08:24.120 cooperation and competition are actually the same thing
00:08:27.480 just on different sides of the magnet
00:08:29.920 all is rhythm
00:08:32.740 you win some, you lose some
00:08:35.700 so long as we can keep war hypothetical
00:08:39.540 as long as we can keep it in the political arena
00:08:42.840 which is far preferable
00:08:47.420 to the alternative
00:08:48.860 until it isn't
00:08:50.460 we're going to get our guy
00:08:55.380 and they're going to get their guy
00:08:57.380 and if you are a
00:09:01.800 deep thinker
00:09:03.500 and older
00:09:05.520 and you meet another deep thinker
00:09:08.800 who's younger
00:09:09.420 chances are they're going to be supporting
00:09:12.300 the opposite political party.
00:09:18.960 So what do you do
00:09:21.000 with this
00:09:23.700 vibration
00:09:25.600 with this rhythm
00:09:27.720 with this polarity?
00:09:29.580 What do you do when you get a pendulum and a magnet?
00:09:34.820 What does that produce?
00:09:39.980 Well, that produces an electric current.
00:09:52.780 So when you push the pendulum,
00:09:55.460 when you push it in your direction
00:09:59.740 it swings back equal and opposite.
00:10:08.480 The question of politics
00:10:11.360 is not whether the pendulum is moving
00:10:14.520 left or right.
00:10:18.400 The question is what current is being generated.
00:10:22.620 what is the up
00:10:25.680 and down of the
00:10:27.660 pendulum
00:10:28.060 there's a
00:10:31.960 visualization I really like
00:10:33.520 of
00:10:34.440 the solar system
00:10:38.240 as it moves
00:10:39.940 through the Milky Way like there's little
00:10:41.640 trails falling
00:10:43.900 off of the planets
00:10:44.900 you know link down
00:10:48.000 below to it I'm gonna get JT
00:10:49.800 to toss it into the video here
00:10:51.520 that's uh
00:10:53.900 starving vampires on YouTube
00:10:55.540 he's the one doing the visual effects
00:10:57.360 so say hey JT in the comments
00:10:59.760 but it's this
00:11:01.920 visualization where normally you think of the
00:11:03.840 solar system, think about the
00:11:05.520 planets going around the sun
00:11:07.200 but the sun is also moving
00:11:09.700 and so it's a visualization
00:11:11.580 of the planets leaving trails
00:11:13.780 behind them as they spiral
00:11:15.660 through space
00:11:17.000 that's what you need to be looking at
00:11:22.360 with the political pendulum
00:11:25.040 with all pendulums
00:11:26.140 it's always going to go back and forth
00:11:29.900 and it's generating current
00:11:34.680 and the harder you push
00:11:38.760 the more current you're generating
00:11:40.460 for somebody else
00:11:41.620 and Romney knows the game
00:11:45.460 he was screaming about
00:11:49.000 Obama being a socialist
00:11:50.420 so that his followers would push the pendulum
00:11:54.960 harder
00:11:55.420 Obama was screaming about his followers
00:11:58.640 being fascists
00:12:00.240 so they'd push the pendulum
00:12:02.940 harder, the harder we push this pendulum
00:12:05.200 in democracy, the more current
00:12:07.180 you get to make off of it
00:12:08.680 of course that current
00:12:12.080 comes at the price of human lives
00:12:15.440 that
00:12:18.700 is a very powerful
00:12:20.920 form of louche
00:12:22.860 harvesting
00:12:23.940 is it irresponsible?
00:12:33.360 perhaps
00:12:34.180 although it's also possible
00:12:42.820 to draw
00:12:45.320 energy being a Sneed Farmer. So it's hard to hate the player when you should be 0.61
00:12:51.940 hating the game.
00:12:58.240 I'm gonna leave you with one final thought when it comes to rhythms, pendulums,
00:13:04.520 and polarities.
00:13:07.640 The National Anthem, here in Canada, says in all our son's command.
00:13:29.080 That was not the warranty.
00:13:37.720 That was the advertising jingle.
00:13:43.360 That was a Walmart cheer.
00:13:50.540 The most important election of our lifetimes?
00:13:59.360 That's just an excuse to get you out to the polls and feed your louche into the system
00:14:04.780 so the system can do something with it.
00:14:07.660 I mean, if you like the system, then go right ahead and keep feeding it your louche.
00:14:14.140 If not, beware the pendulum.
00:14:18.900 There's never been a more effective harvester of human soul energy than a controlled pendulum.
00:14:27.360 Carpe Futurum, Teddy Teratitum.
00:14:29.300 This is Irini, out.
