Speaker for the Dead
Sickness and healing are in every heart; death and deliverance in every hand.
~ Orson Scott Card, Speaker for the Dead, 1986
Today I took the advice of Demi Pietchell of
and looked at why I was so angry upon reading the most recent essay of on the mistakes that were not made by the perfidious lockdowners. Instead of denying the emotions I was feeling, I examined them. And found they were not entirely my own.You see, I’ve stood in this turbulence before. I’ve felt the angst and despair of millions of people whose emotional energy was seeking for help, for understanding, for compassion, and for justice, who wanted a voice to speak for them. And that energy came at me from a future that was terrifying in its horrors, a future that I had not imagined, but that all of a sudden, I felt. I felt their anger, their despair, their feelings, their energy, their desire for help, compassion, justice, and a voice, and I didn’t know why they had come to me.
I felt the searing radioactive heat of their deaths, the horrifying traumas of the tortures meted out to them, the loneliness and despair of the camps in which they were starving to death, and all of their wounds and illnesses from poisons and warfare. It was earlier this century, near the dawn of the new millennium, and I had wave after wave of this energy washing over me from the future. I didn’t know then what I know now.
Now I know that I had volunteered, in a future that was not then known to me, that I will speak for the dead. So when they knew they were dead, when they knew who had harmed them, when they knew what had been done to them, they came to me. And since time as we understand it is only one of the dimensions of time, and since there was so much more energy involved than is normally present, that energy leaked across the timelines and back into the past. Its destination was me because mine was the voice they sought, because I would not keep silent, because I would not refuse them. They sought me because I had agreed to be a speaker for the dead and wounded.
Many More Soon
Oh, how I would that it were only the dead from all around the globe from the crisis in healthcare, the global pandemic of authoritarianism that was deliberately set in motion in 2019 and culminated in the poison jabs in 2021 and 2022. But there is more, and the suffering of the souls wounded and burnt and damaged and murdered continues. It goes on and on, and I would that it would stop. But you would have to get involved for it to end, so what are the odds?
Some of the dead who you have not yet seen die are going to die in nuclear fires in major cities. Some of those cities will be here in North America. Some of the dead who you have not yet seen die are going to die in death camps, as slaves, abused and maligned, starved and maltreated. Treated maliciously by evil men and women who hate them and want them dead. Captured and enslaved deliberately for the purpose of torturing and starving them to death. Here, in your countries, in Canada, in the United States, in Mexico; but also “over there” in South America, in China, in Europe, in Africa, in Asia. Millions of them.
Would you agree to look at them? Would you listen to them? Would you help them? I would. Now I have done. I have consented to do this work.
What A Speaker Does
You could help. You probably won’t. You’ve got a lot going on. You have other work to do. It’s okay.
I don’t ask you to put your hands on the tyrants and throw them down. All I do ask is that you stop supporting them. But even that limited action brings you risk, since you would have to stop paying them to enslave you. And you do love your taxation judging by the efforts you make to have money withheld from you and the lengths you are willing to go to “file” to get it back when you never had any obligation to have it withheld in the first place.
You don’t have to be a speaker for the dead and wounded, either. But I would ask that you not be an advocate for amnesty and a free ride for the criminals. You may not want to take a stand. Your family might not understand. Your friends might not want to invite you to events. Your supervisor at work might make trouble for you. Your political connexions might dry up. But if you turn your back on the injured, the dead, and the dying, if you refuse to hold anyone to account now, when you are able, who is going to hold anyone to account when you are the victim?
What does a speaker for the dead and wounded do? You speak. You don’t allow yourself to be silenced. You don’t allow yourself to be bullied. You don’t give the murderers any time off. You don’t reject the victims. You don’t stop talking about what has been done until the perpetrators are brought to justice. You don’t waffle or fence sit or attempt to straddle the mainstream (hat tip
for the mainstream straddler coinage and imagery). You speak for the victims. You testify if you are called on to testify, you speak out when the topic is discussed, you don’t hide your head, you don’t head for the exit. Because if you won’t speak up, nobody will.You tell people about the corruption, about the lies, about the poisons, about the crimes, about the damage done by the lockdowns, and about the new version of Hanlon’s razor which attributes to malice those things that have gone on too long to be mere stupidity. You don’t let people who were responsible for evil off the hook with merely an apology. “Sorry don’t feed the bulldog.” Unless some are held to account, there will never be an end to tyranny.
What’s the point of all those links? The point is that serious crimes were committed. I could fill another thousand pages with links about the perfidy of the people involved in trying to enslave mankind, going back over the last several thousand years if I wanted to do so. If you don’t want to click on any of the links, that’s understandable. I didn’t want to look at them while I was reading them. But I refused to turn away, to hide my eyes, to close my ears to the cries of the wounded, to the anguished screams of the survivors, to the suffering and the death.
Don’t Pussy Out
We used to say things like that, back in the 1970s when people had quite a lot more testosterone. Plastic food packaging and food preparation utensils and plastic dinnerware and plates combined with a host of other sources of artificial estrogen, including in pharmaceuticals, has been removing the testosterone from men at alarming rates. So people are afraid of offending anyone by describing cowardice or homosexuality as wrong or worth less than courage and procreation. But I am not afraid.
There’s an instrument called the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It involves a set of prayers that are used to time a set of meditations. When you pray the prayers you are supposed to meditate on each of the meditations from the lives of Jesus and Mary. Mary had to watch her son tortured and murdered. She held his mangled body after he was taken from the cross. She watched his body prepared for burial and entombed. So the Passion of the Christ is also the suffering of his divine mother Mary.
There are three legitimate sets of meditations of the rosary. These are the joyful mysteries, the sorrowful mysteries, and the glorious mysteries. There is also an illuminati set of meditations crafted by John Paul the 2nd, and I was instructed not to pray them. The joyful mysteries include the annunciation, the visitation, the nativity, the presentation, and finding Jesus at the Temple. The latter two of these are coincident with two of the seven sorrows suffered by St. Mary, so they are not entirely joyful. The sorrowful mysteries are the agony at the garden of Gethsemane, the scourging at the pillar, the crowning of thorns, the carrying of the cross, and the crucifixion. The glorious mysteries are the resurrection, the ascension, the descent of the Holy Spirit, the assumption of Mary into heaven, and the coronation of Mary.
There are two parts to the rosary system. The verbal prayers you say out loud to separate the mysteries and to time the meditation on each mystery. Instead of a clock or an hourglass, you time the meditation by saying a decade of ten hail Mary prayers. The other part of the rosary system is the meditation, the part you don’t say out loud. That part is more intense, because it involves you concentrating on the things that happened, such as the scourging by two Roman soldiers with whips set with barbs to rip apart the skin of their victim. During that scourging, one of the soldiers repeatedly struck Jesus in the same place on his shoulder causing a very deep wound that made it impossible to hold the cross on that side of his body later when he was forced to carry his cross to his execution.
I mention these points because in my spiritual training one of the things I was required to do was pray the sorrowful mysteries 20 times in one day. I chose to say it twice more, for a total of 22 times. That’s 110 decades of the rosary. And that day it was the sorrowful mysteries. So I looked directly at all the things done to Jesus, again and again and again and again…. I don’t say that it was easy, kneeling in prayer and saying those prayers and meditating on those things. But I do see that it was necessary.
Nor does that cover the intensity of the training. There are also penitential rosaries. You can look at the rules governing those if you wish. But I’m not going to offer you a link.
The point is: a speaker for the dead and wounded must be prepared to look at the suffering. If you aren’t willing to look, again and again, at people being wounded and suffering and dying, then you aren’t going to be able to tell their story. And if you aren’t going to stand up for them, for the victims of tyranny, then you aren’t doing your job. Your job is to speak for the victims so the perpetrators are brought to some measure of justice.
You also don’t get to take the other path and end your own existence. Doing so would make you silent, and your job is to speak for those who would otherwise be silenced. So you cannot self-terminate.
You are in a war. Much of the war that you are in is spiritual, which is why weapons against evil such as the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary are important. You should learn to pray the rosary. You should become a warrior for God, a paladin.
Justice in this life
You might not feel like God is doing His job. That’s okay, because God might not feel like you are doing your job. You complain that God cannot be both all powerful and all good if God allows the things you have seen. But you have all power through God. You can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens you. All things are possible with God. So why aren’t you doing anything about the things you have seen?
Jesus says that the kingdom of God is near unto you when you hear the words of Jesus and do them. You may have heard the words, or read them, or heard them read aloud in a place of worship. But do you do them? If you do them, you are building your home upon a solid foundation of rock. If you don’t, you are building on the shifting sands of expedience, and your house will fall. And great will be its fall.
There isn’t going to be any amnesty. Yes, of course, it is important to forgive those who trespass against us in order that we might be free from sin, in order that our sins might be forgiven us. But forgetting is not required for forgiveness to be achieved, and is not a wise choice. God is very gracious in forgiving our sins. God also wants us to bring about a measure of justice in our lives in our day in our ways. Why? Because you are meant to be learning in this life, and to become better men and women as a result. (And, no, there are no other choices. “Male and female created He them.” God didn’t create non-binary beings, God created men and women. Anyone who attempts to purport that there is any other sort of being is proposing an abomination, which is what demons and demon worshippers always do. May God have mercy on their souls. Amen.)
Fear Not
Fear is a biochemical response to perceived danger. When your body reacts to things around you that prompt a fear response, it is preparing you for the two things which your physical nature uses in response to danger: flight or fight. Adrenaline surges into your bloodstream, your heart rate and respiration quicken, and your body prepares to shut down digestion, burn glucose for energy, and do all the things appropriate to running from a sabre toothed tiger or fighting one to the death. Fear is a set of signals which you can make use of in order to survive.
A few things to note. One is, the body does not have a freeze response. It has a flight response and a fight response, but it does not have a “stop” response, so when the police demand that you halt, they are making an absurd and exceptionally evil request that is wrong-headed and used to justify and excuse their brutality, murderousness, and other ill behaviour. There are no good police because if there were any, there would be arrests every day of the bad police, of whom there are vast numbers. There are other mammals which have a freeze response, but you are not one of them. And the police have always known it, and have always been bullies and have never served the public. They protect and serve those who pay them, mostly the privileged and the demon worshippers.
God says “fear not” and “do not be afraid” and “be anxious for nothing,” and “do not fear,” and “do not be dismayed,” and other similar phrases many hundreds of times in the Bible. I have seen a number of counts from various sources, and it is pretty clear that the exact phrase “do not be afraid” is not in the Bible exactly 365 times, but if you are reasonably accommodating to the limitations of translation, the basic idea is in there over 500 times. So why would God tell you, repeatedly, as a commandment, not to be afraid?
For many reasons. One is that the biochemical nature of your body making and releasing and storing Christ seed oil relates to a calm demeanour. You don’t want a strong adrenaline reaction to impose other biochemistry in a way that is destructive of the Christ seed oil. Another is, people do a lot of bad choice taking when they are acting out of fear. Panic is not a good friend to wisdom.
God wants you to know that God is on your side. After all, God sent His son to purchase for you the rewards of eternal salvation, so you can be eternally happy in heaven. It is therefore clearly the case that God wants you to have faith in God. With that faith, fear should be under your control. If you let fear control you, where is thy faith?
You also have to stop being afraid because post traumatic stress causes amnesia. You shut out the recollections that make no sense and try to forget those traumas in order to go on living presently. We all have PTSD. Some of us more than others, of course.
If you are going to be a speaker for the dead and wounded, you should obey God’s commandment to not be afraid. There are many other commandments in the Bible, from “be fruitful and multiply” to “love your neighbour as yourself,” so it is a worthwhile book to read. If you are unafraid, then you won’t have post-trauma amnesia, and that’s important because what was done to us must never be allowed to be done again.
The experiences of Spain after the evils of the Franco government with their law demanding forgiveness and amnesty are vile. You should look into all that, because it was essentially a law requiring that the past be forgotten. Instead, the experiences of the people of Europe with Hitler and the Nazi death camps is never to be forgotten. Never Forget is an important motto. So is Never Again. And therefore, don’t be afraid, because fear will push at you into forgetting, and that’s no good. We cannot ever allow lockdowns, masque mandates, and poison jabs again, and we must never forget what was done. Which is a further point against amnesty.
Amnesty Never
Here I am going to post the essay that got me started on this post, as an embed, beause it is important and I want you to read it over thoroughly.
Because WE knew, and when we told you, you called us selfish immoral science-denying far-right-wing–extremist anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists.
But we were the ones following the science, and you were the ones following the television. We’re batting a thousand, and your “experts” are zero for zero.
We were like the bystanders in The Birds frantically trying to warn the man standing in the puddle of gas not to throw down his match, only to be persistently ignored until he self-immolates.
Tyranny is here now
You have to get over the idea that fighting tyranny was taken care of in 1775-1781. It wasn’t. You have it, now, here, today, in America, in Canada, in Europe, all over the world. And if you won’t fight it, then may your chains rest heavy upon you, may they chafe and bind, and may you be forgotten for all time. Get busy or go away.
James Bovard gives us some of the details in his recent essay Tyranny Comes to Main Street. “‘We live in a world in which everything has been criminalized,’ warned Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. There are now more than 5,200 separate federal criminal offenses, a 36% increase since the 1990s, along with tens of thousands of state and local crimes. More laws mean more violators who can be harshly punished on command, resulting in the arrests of more than 10 million Americans each year. Thanks to the Supreme Court, police can lock up anyone accused of “even a very minor criminal offense” such as an unbuckled seatbelt.”
They take your property. They break your bones. They rape women in their patrol cars. They murder people in cold blood, then they “testi-lie” to pretend it wasn’t evil and wrong for them to murder. The police are not your friend. Never call them. Never rely on them. They don’t work for you. The police were founded in the early 19th Century in London to attack freedom and push racist policies for the benefit of land owners in the City of London, and no police force ever created since then is any better. They work for evil. And you had better stop pretending that “first responders” are the people to obey, because they are not. They are the worst villains in the village.
Transforming Rage
If you aren’t supposed to be afraid, are you supposed to be angry? Yes, I believe so. If it motivates you, then yes. Anger is far more useful to you than despair. Anger, though, is a secondary emotion, so be watchful of it.
The two chief reasons that a person becomes angry are fear and sadness. Fear motivates the reaction of anger in order to hide the fear and in order to stimulate the “fight” reaction which is one of the two choices you have, the other being flight. (Only by a huge effort of will can you choose to do anything other than fight or flight, which is why the police want you to stop, halt, freeze, and surrender, so they can be justified in brutally beating you.) Sadness has always been the source of my anger, because I know what people are capable of doing, what great munificent gifts God has given us, and what little we have done with them. Sadness comes out of love, especially when one is disappointed.
You should look for the transformation of your anger, because you need to move with it into solutions. Anger can be very destructive, so if you are able to let go of it, please do. But if you cannot, if what has been done to you and your family and others is so horrid that you remain angry, then transform that anger in order to use it wisely.
Someone very wise has been writing about these matters, so let me quote her. And please read her post on this topic.
Everything was still. I went outside to look at the water. It was still.
So then?
I listened to music. I cooked food. I saw the body of water and felt it again with me. I began to recognize it now. The lake within.
What was going on around me didn’t matter. I was full and okay on my own, for no apparent reason.
I did not try to manifest this feeling, I didn’t pray for it, I didn’t meditate on it. It just showed up and took over.
Or.. was it always there.. and being pushed to my limit led to me somehow accessing an internal power source I forgot existed?
There’s much more:
When bearing witness to either our own suffering, or the suffering of someone else, we can only truly be present when we transfer OUT of our ego state and into our soul.
This is the state where we do not make it about ourselves, we do not try to fix or change or hide, we do not explain or argue, we do not get triggered.
We are witnessing. We are curious. We seek to understand.
And even more still:
When someone in group would share, you were not allowed to respond AT ALL when they were talking, meaning no body language, no nodding, no saying “mhmm”, not even facial expressions.
You were not to validate what the person was saying in any way. ZERO reaction. Complete silence and stoicism.
There are two reasons for this.
One is so the person can feel what they are saying ENTIRELY, without the crutch of validation, reassurance or literally ANY reaction from those bearing witness to what they say, which was usually some pretty intense shit.
No one was to be a numbing agent for ANYONE. We were there to feel everything fully, with no crutch.
Even the subtlest communication cues can take someone out of their process.
Perhaps most of all:
The other reason?
I think I explained it, but it’s to LISTEN.
It was our responsibility to give the most blunt, to-the-core feedback, when the person was done talking. We could not reflect an accurate picture if we were not present.
Lives were on the line. Delusions had to be shattered. We did not have much time.
We were all running on borrowed.
We had to truly see that person. We had to see through the veil of delusions, and we were uniquely qualified in doing so… because we all were master weavers of our own.
and:
If we want to truly see… we must listen. We must be still. We must feel the experience of whomever is being witnessed. Not to take it on and make it personal, but to understand.
We will not know, until we drop our show.
We cannot see one another if we are running circles and banging pots and pans in our minds.
Our lives depended on it. Some of us are still alive, some are not.
But we’d all be dead if that would have never taken place.
Fair Witness
This stoicism in listening, in actually hearing the witness without reaction, is a key element of understanding. And what is the point of being a witness to horrors if you are not going to gain understanding? As Tess says, our lives depend on it. Some are alive today because they listened and sought to understand, and because they responded with clarity and deep love, the kind of love that says exactly what has to be said without any sugar coating and without any lack of compassion, but also without pretending that “everything is going to be okay” on its own without any action.
It’s not going to be okay. Unless you act to make it okay. Yes, sure, God could take actions, but what would you learn? You would learn to be afraid, to pray, and to do nothing until God acted. Does God send you here into this life, at this time, in these circumstances, to teach you to be passive? No. A thousand times no. God has the same question for you, because God has given you all power through Jesus Christ. You can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens you. So why aren’t you attending to evil, witnessing against it, and building a group of people to defend your community against evil?
The stoic approach to listening reminded me very much of a theme to which Robert Heinlein returned several times in his books. I believe you can read about the Fair Witnesses in Stranger in a Strange Land and in Time Enough for Love. Anyway, those are good books for you to read, or even re-read if you have read them in the past.
Here’s an interaction from Stranger in a Strange Land that will give you some of the perspective you need to become a Fair Witness:
Jubal called out, "That house on the hilltop--can you see what color they've painted it?"
Anne looked, then answered, "It's white on this side."
Anne is a Fair Witness. She will not say what colour the house is, except for what she can actually see. She does not assert that the house is painted white all over, because she is not in a position to see the other side of it. And this concept of not assuming that things you have experienced in the past, that people paint the other side of the house the same as the side you see, has any bearing on your testimony is DIFFICULT. It is not easy to be fair. Which is why so much witness testimony in court is so much nonsense. Witnesses delude themselves into thinking they have seen something they didn’t see, and will use all kinds of confirmation bias. Always be sceptical of witness testimony, the more so the further in the past the events are being recalled.
We are seeing one of the largest genocides in human history. Millions of people have been murdered by their own governments through hospital protocols (ventilators, remdesivir) for profit, and through poison vaxxajabs for profit, and through violent lockdowns that led to estrangement and suicide. You looking for links here? Go find your own. You’re going to need to learn how to find things out without me spoon feeding you.
While you are about your research, I recommend you read the work of my late friend RJ Rummel. Professor Rummel’s research is still online at the Democide and Power Kills pages at the University of Hawai’i, so you can find the links. I suggest you get his books before the links are all taken down by the woke mfs in academia who hate the truth and want to enslave mankind.
Death by Government is his core book, but he wrote others. Power Kills is a follow-up with more details on the mass murders of Ataturk, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and many others in the 20th Century. Over 262 million people were murdered by their own governments, in addition to which over 60 million were killed in combat. War and Democide Never Again was his 2004 review of the topic. While he was writing it, Xi was busy murdering 78 million Falun Gong and millions of Uighurs.
Summary
The future you want to live in requires that you speak for the dead and for the wounded who cannot speak for themselves. If you want access to the galaxy of resources God has provided for you, you and the rest of mankind must learn to love one another. You cannot love your neighbour if you refuse to look at their pain, their suffering, and their traumas. You don’t love your neighbour if you obey tyrants.
Let us pray: Eternal Father please help us free the slaves, stop the wars, and end tyranny. Please help with guidance, resources, ingenuity, endurance, fortitude, and patience. Please show us the little fires so we may pass by them. Please bring love into our lives so we remember what we have to live for. Amen. Mother Mary please intercede with your powerful intercession. Amen.
Jim, you’re a talented writer and wise thinker. Thank you.
Wow. Thank you for this.
