A 4IR "behaviour"– and "mindset"–modification experiment is now underway in Copenhagen.

"[…] Copenhagen's official tourism organisation introduces CopenPay - a new initiative transforming green actions into currency for cultural experiences. It is Copenhagen's ambition to inspire visitors to make conscious green choices and help bridge the large gap between the desire to act sustainably and their actual behaviour.

CopenPay rewards actions such as cycling, participating in cleanup efforts, or volunteering at urban farms with access to a variety of enriching experiences and everyday wonders of Copenhagen. […]

'It is a core task for us to make travelling sustainable. And we will only succeed if we bridge the large gap between the visitors' desire to act sustainably and their actual behaviour. It might sound simple, but it is not. We want visitors to make conscious, green choices and hopefully end up getting even better experiences while they visit. Through CopenPay we therefore aim to incentivize tourists' sustainable behaviour while enriching their cultural experience of our destination. It is an experimental and a small step towards creating a new mindset amongst travellers and one among many initiatives we are doing to make travelling more sustainable', says Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO at Wonderful Copenhagen.

The simplicity of the system allows easy participation: tourists can show a train ticket, arrive on a bicycle, or present other simple proof of green actions to redeem their rewards. […]

[…]

Launching with over 20 attractions this summer, CopenPay not only aims to enhance the guests' local experience but also to inspire other destinations."

Trump Assassination Attempt – The stories so far

It’s three days since the alleged attempt on Donald Trump’s life, and while we’re not really any closer to knowing the truth of the situation, the claims and counterclaims from all sides are coming thick and fast.

The shooter was a Republican…

no he was a Democrat….

Trump was hit by a bullet…

no it was shattered glass from his teleprompter…

no he wasn’t hit by anything the injury was fake.

…it goes on like this.

The usual routine for such a situation would be for the “official story”…...

The Civil War Simulation

It has been slouching toward Bethlehem for the last eight years. The gyre has been widening, the falcon turning and turning, the center losing hold, and so on.

Its hour has not quite come round yet, but something is definitely rising out of Spiritus Mundi. No, not the beast from The Second Coming, but something perhaps just as rough and pitiless.

I’ve been calling it “The Rise of the New Normal Reich.” Others have been describing it with other names. No one can say exactly what it is, but at this point everyone…...

“Now we need to take the next step, namely: move to a broader, full-scale implementation of the digital ruble in the economy, in business activities and in the financial sector,” Putin said during a meeting on economic issues. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/putin-calls-for-full-scale-implementation

At some point very soon, some of our esteemed colleagues in alt media will really have to take off the blinders and re-examine their sacred beliefs about the East being in opposition to globalism.

The man on the stage

Here is some unsolicited advice from an old woman living in the wilderness of Canada. I mean well.

There is something going on in the world that you cared about last week. It consumed most of your energy in terms of what you believed in working towards. Then there was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump and you’ve forgotten all about last week. And maybe last week you had forgotten about something from the week before that you honestly cared about working towards.

Regress and return until you arrive at a place in the here and now where you…...

Let’s talk about….the Global Computer Crisis

A massive outage of Windows-based computers has impacted systems all over the world. Doctors’ surgeries, airlines, train stations, television stations, payment platforms – virtually all sectors of human society have been impacted. Traffic is backing up, flights are grounded.

So far Microsoft is blaming a “third party”, and ruled out a cyber attack. In fact, the “third party” has been named as CrowdStrike, a company specializing in safe-guarding systems against cyber attacks.

So that’s either highly ironic…or something else.

Allegedly the fault was due to a new software update, CrowdStrike’s CEO George Kurtz…...

The Turn of the Screw

Remember when you were a kid and saw “thumbscrew torture” for the first time in some late-night horror film? It was the coolest. To inflict so much pain with so little effort—just a tiny turn of the screw and intense wailing would ensue. How cool was that?—horrifying as well.

Although using thumbscrews in the fine art of torture is an effective way to create excruciating pain quickly and effortlessly, turning a screw slowly to avoid notice is also an effective way to make a point. This idea is similar to the slow boil of a certain amphibian we are…...

Biden Drops Out

It was always going to happen…and now it has. Incumbent President Joe Biden has officially dropped out of the race, endorsing Kamala Harris as his replacement on the Democratic ticket.

Despite backing Biden as recently as 24-hours ago, Hillary and Bill Clinton have joined Biden in endorsing Harris, meaning the nomination of the current Vice President is probably a nailed-on certainty at this point.

The question is…why?

Harris was such a failure of a candidate in the 2020 election she dropped out of the primaries after being embarrassed by Tulsi Gabbard in a debate.…...

Caged in Oligarchic Contradictions

A contronym is a word having two definitions that contradict each other. Two examples are the word bolt, which can mean to lock with a bolt and to flee, and clip, which means to attach and to detach.

There are many such words and there is also a system of thought based on them. It has no name except for the one I give it here, admittedly an awkward one: The Contronymal Circus. Like words that are their own antonyms, this system of thought confuses and traps, as it is meant to do.

Language is of course slippery and…...

A Time of Shame and Sorrow: When It Comes to Political Violence, We All Lose

“Whenever any American’s life is taken by another American unnecessarily—whether it is done in the name of the law or in the defiance of law, by one man or a gang, in cold blood or in passion, in an attack of violence or in response to violence—whenever we tear at the fabric of life which another man has painfully and clumsily woven for himself and his children, the whole nation is degraded.”

The People’s Court of New Normal Germany

Just when I thought things could not possibly get more shockingly totalitarian in New Normal Germany, where I’m being prosecuted in criminal court (for the second time) for tweeting, the German authorities have gone and surprised me again.

No, they haven’t established an actual Nazi-style People’s Court (pictured above) yet, and, of course, there is absolutely no similarity between the current German justice system, which is totally fair and democratic and a paragon of impartial justice and the rule of law, and The People’s Court of Berlin during the Nazi era, nor is there any similarity between Nazi…...

Amazon Gets Fresh, Bayer Loves Basmati: Toxic Influences in Indian Agriculture

The citizens of India have a problem. In what the media like to call ‘the world’s biggest democracy’, there is a serious, proven conflict of interest among officials in the areas of science, agriculture and agricultural research that results in privileging the needs of powerful private interests ahead of farmers and ordinary people.

This has been a longstanding concern. In 2013, for instance, prominent campaigner and environmentalist Aruna Rodrigues said:

“The Ministry of Agriculture has handed Monsanto and the industry access to our agri-research public institutions, placing them in a position to seriously influence agri-policy in

From Trump’s “assassination” to Biden’s disappearing act…it’s all theatre

Remakes and sequels have almost killed Hollywood movie making, turning every film into a collection of meta references and nostalgia bait…‘hey remember when this happened in that other movie! That was cool right!’

Now, it seems, they’re trying the same tactics in politics. That’s what we’ve got in the Trump “assassination attempt” – a remake of an old classic – the JFK assassination – for modern audiences.

Hey guys, remember the second shooter? Remember the patsy? Remember when the Secret Service were told to stand down?

Hey all you libertarians and Truthers out…...

Judging Character

I do think it is interesting these days that people can no longer accurately judge character. This seems to be a borderline-esque example of a lack of object constancy—where a person has a difficult time averaging out another person’s behaviour and only looks at the last thing they did to assess them. This is all probably due to the indoctrination we are all experiencing now, and have been experiencing for years.

I also think we have been inundated with movies for decades that show people acting out of character in surprising unexpected ways. For example, the really nice guy…...

Big news on the 9/11 front this week, as previously unseen footage has come to light after 23 years. People are busily dissecting it to see if it shows any new evidence:

Engineering a Crisis: How Political Theater Helps the Deep State Stay in Power

A failed assassination attempt on a presidential candidate. An incumbent president withdrawing his re-election bid at the 11th hour. A politicized judiciary that fails to hold the powers-that-be accountable to the rule of law. A world at war. A nation in turmoil.

This is what controlled chaos looks like.

This year’s election-year referendum on which corporate puppet should occupy the White House has quickly become a lesson in how the Deep State engineers a crisis to keep itself in power.

Don’t get so caught up in the performance that you lose sight of what’s real.

This endless series of…...

Putin calls for “full-scale implementation” of digital ruble

Praising the “efficiency and functionality” of the Bank of Russia’s CBDC, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed his government on Wednesday to prepare for the widespread introduction of the digital ruble.

“Now we need to take the next step, namely: move to a broader, full-scale implementation of the digital ruble in the economy, in business activities and in the financial sector,” Putin said during a meeting on economic issues.

Since August 2023, the Bank of Russia has been conducting a pilot program for the digital ruble involving 12 banks, 600 individuals and 22 trade service enterprises. The…...
