Guest View: Strange Class War in Comments Section

Hi Erasend,

Editors at the Frank Report wrote the headline. I wrote the comments. When I wrote those comments, I actually wasn’t thinking about “class warfare” or “injustice” as much as I was thinking about politics in general.

Now I’m trying to understand your response. Are you saying we should avoid getting “neck deep into politics”?

If the “neck deep” comment is a reference to the saying, “It’s not polite to talk about politics or religion.” please consider that old saying was probably friendly advice for fun social events and holiday gatherings. In politics, government and society — we need to govern ourselves with open conversations and robust debate. That’s how we established our great nation, right?

You probably know the Latin word politicus means “of citizens or the state, civil, civic” and the Greek word politikos means “of citizens, pertaining to the state and its administration; pertaining to public life,”

In our modern American constitutional republic, we govern ourselves through elected representatives. And yet how is it that somehow, suddenly: The old days of “We the People” seems to have morphed into “We the Peasants Need Klaus Schwab and The World Economic Forum to Tell us What to Do”.

Were We the People fooled by a few who planned to eventually take over the world — through international networks and deceit?

^ That’s what I’m thinking more specifically, rather than your more general, “How unfair is class warfare and injustice?”

In other words, I’m wondering how is it that all of a sudden, thousands of citizens of so many nations around the world are marching in the streets, begging to govern themselves.

Why are Connecticut family courts so blatantly lawless?

It’s as though our governments and courts around the world went rogue all at the same time and with no explanation.

Are you seeing that, too?

No one elected Aleister Crowley to get involved in China. What was CIA operative-turned-family-court-judge John Downey doing in China for so long? What was Yale doing in China? Could such a senseless and massive lockdown that just happened in Shanghai ever happen in America? Could China’s surveillance state be a beta test for nations around the world? Why are a third of Tesla cars made in China? How did Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos get such great federal contracts? Why is Elon Musk a hero for so many “conservatives” and what is Twitter?

How is it that all of a sudden, our ability to govern ourselves is slipping away so much so that we need federal contractors in World Economic Forum public private partnerships to save us?

I’m not nutty, Erasend. I’m concerned. If We the People don’t hurry up and talk openly and deeply about just how deeply politics and religion played a role in the shaping of our nation in this world, Americans will soon indeed “own nothing” as Klaus Schwab likes to say.

Those who don’t feel comfortable talking about politics can still wonder if a few classless wealthy people a few hundred years ago purposely kept some nations poor while other nations flourished. Sure, let’s just wonder if it’s possible that an “elite” who control “the profane” could ever actually threw their net over the entire world.

Free people in free nations never did agree to “artificial distinctions of rank and wealth … necessary in the world to the regular progression of society,” When some people consider themselves to be better than others, that’s not “class”, it’s delusions of grandeur. Unfortunately, those delusions sometimes take the form of sociopathy within the context of politics.
Keith Raniere decided to call himself a “grandmaster” for some reason. Is that not weird?

Does Klaus Schwab think of himself as a sort of “grandmaster” when he tells us we will “own nothing”?

Did Judge Moukawsher think of himself as a sort of “grandmaster” when he disbarred an attorney that day?

Did Swami Chetanananda think of himself as a “grandmaster” guiding his followers to join his community to strenuously inculcate and assiduously cultivate some great “mystic tie” we should all know about?

While all of the above and more was happening, Americans and citizens around the world lost our governments.

That’s why my comments weren’t about “class warfare”. They were about our need to ignore “class” so we can feel free enough to start talking more deeply about politics and religion, “without fear or favor”.

Here’s a conversation starter for pubs, Ben Franklin-style without the spiritism.

It wouldn’t be the best conversation for Thanksgiving dinner, but it would be better than reinforcing weirdly incoherent government talking points about the need for masks and social distancing mandates.

“Social Character of Freemasonry.

Freemasonry attracts our attention as a great social institution. Laying aside for the time those artificial distinctions of rank and wealth, which, however, are necessary in the world to the regular progression of society, its members meet in
their Lodges on one common level of brotherhood and equality. There virtue and talent alone claim and receive pre-eminence, and the great object of all is to see who can best work and best agree. There friendship and fraternal affection are strenuously inculcated and assiduously cultivated, and that great mystic tie is established which peculiarly distinguishes the society. Hence is it that Washington has declared that the benevolent purpose of the Masonic institution is to enlarge the sphere of social happiness, and its grand object to promote the happiness of the human race.”

Family court… federal court… money over truth.

This is Q-anon lite. Frankly I prefer Suneel to this, if I have to read garbage.

What? This is a weirdly incoherent piece.

Frank isn’t trying to shine a light on class warfare. I think he thinks he is shining a light on injustice, and often the advantage goes to the rich so one tends overlap the other but looking at his current three primary stories – CT child court, Swami, Nxivm – its the few screwing over the many without any regard to the damage they are doing all for ego. The instigators started poor or middle-class. They are also stories of unbridled greed and abuse. Class has little to do with it.

L Ron Hubbard, before he started Scientology, said “You don’t get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.” and later did just that. He was more or less middle-class who wanted more and didn’t care who he hurt to get more. Once he gained wealth, like all the wealthy, he made sure to use it to gain even more wealth without limit and hurt anyone that might touch it.

Raniere did the same thing. He found two idiot heiress’ and convinced them to give him money to start a new con to go along with all his previous failed cons. Only this one actually had legs and worked for a long while. Thanks to other idiots upselling his genius image, morons convinced themselves he was a god unto himself, often without any real effort on his part to sell the image. Once he had their wealth, he used it to try to generate more wealth which only sorta worked but he discovered he could get laid regularly and often and who doesn’t like to be worshipped? If not for his appetite for more, yes NXIVM would still be going strong. For reasons known only to him, having woman happily throw themselves at him wasn’t enough, he had to try to own them in mind and body too.

The Swami is Keith on steroids in the abuse department but otherwise essentially the same motivations – accumulate wealth, power, and bunch of woman to control and screw both physically and mentally.

As for the courts, that just classic corruption. No more complicated then that. The men involved are doing the ego maniac thing of wanting to keep his property (the children) and screw the woman over that dared to leave him. Typical divorce revenge that doesn’t care about the children. Money changes hands, the rich person gets the verdict they want. Since this is in an environment where all involved decided to go classic 1950s – husband works, wife was raised to believe they have one purpose of getting married and popping out kids – this gives the full advantage to the one signing the check. The “class warfare” is the woman was once enjoying the high life and now poor, doesn’t have the ability to compete against husband to buy off the court.

Really if look at all this, if there is a true common theme its the power of self delusion. None of the abuses in these examples would be possible if people made even a basic effort to think for themselves. To notice the inconsistencies and contradictions. To use the power of the internet and just do some basic damn research. To think and act for themselves. There were constant red flags and the acolytes ignored them. Their delusions and by extension ego was more important because who likes to admit they made the wrong choice.

This isn’t to say class warfare isn’t a thing. Of course it is, just that this site’s current focus has little to do with it. Shit to see a current example just look at all the outrage over transgender athletes. You will have fools that will vote for a politician over the issue that impacts .0001% of the population where those most angry about it either do not have daughters or do not have daughters that are impacted by this “issue” in any meaningful way. That is typical class warfare, the one of distraction built on fear and hate. That might be worth talking about but then get neck deep into politics so probably best to avoid that.
