Take heart! Most people, in spite of the massive campaigns to destroy humanity with online bots, trolls, fake polls, etc., and the small number of fervently insane followers of such who are led by their own emotional reactions and crazy thoughts -- most people (not even many in relative terms) are NOT "weak and horrible"...Please spend more time outside, with friends and family IF you enjoy them and they value you, and get off the internet as much as possible...The world, though it is intentionally facing destructive, organized, attacks, is still, largely, a beautiful place with many strong-spirited, good, people.
It’s why I prefer the company of animals to most humans. People think I am joking when I say that but I am not. I bought a t-shirt that reads “Dogs make me happy. Humans make my head hurt.” I mean it these days.
I focus on evidence of crimes rather than stereotyping (This includes allopathic doctors....some have made huge sacrifices to protect their patients and general public...others need to be prosecuted for democide)
No one can control other's thoughts or opinions, so I live by " It is none of my business what another thinks about me"... If they speak slander, it becomes a prosecutable crime.
I spend at least twice a day to do meditation and finish my sacred time with prayer & affirmations 🙏💐🌿🌍
I live by 10 Commandments and strongly suggest others to live by them so that blessings be realized by all!
I respect & admire your life's work defending, healing & warning people to prevent tragedies...Stay strong in these aligned actions! And yes, all of us need to call out bad behavior because world is civilized!
A Christian here (make of that as you will). My take on the whole Jewish thing is as follows:
There appears to be 'bad' Jews running the place, but the Bible tells us to pray for Israel. I imagine this covers the 'good' Jews. In addition, we are told to pray for our enemies: maybe the 'bad' Jews fit with this?
Overall, for me, this means that I should pray for all of Israel and 100% of the Jews.
This suits me just fine because I know that I have no idea just who the 'good' Jews are. Or the 'bad' Jews. But, as far as prayers go, I don't need to know.
By the way, this doesn't mean that I shouldn't pray for eg. the Palestinians.
I hope this puts me as less evil than good on your scale?
Other than this, I know just enough to realise that I don't know anything... and as a result, I try not to judge others (but we all slip up sometimes).
I've wondered this a lot too. And I believe free will has much to do with it. He gave all of us free will and His intervention would violate the free will of those few among us who choose evil, such as instigating war. There would be little point in giving free will if it was going to be taken away whenever the choice was to commit an evil act.
I also believe He does intervene, but perhaps at times and in ways we can't easily recognize. Things could, of course, always be worse!
Thank you for the link, I am grateful for it. I am working tonight but maybe one of these Saturdays I can participate. Appreciate the invite, so nice of you to take the time to let me know about this. We learn so much when we participate on Substacks. Listen for me tonight SAC and enjoy the service.
Sure, I was just referring to the people now living in what is referred to as Palestine. I think we can/should pray for all people, and those people were merely an example.
On a more serious note, you may have mentioned this is one of your many interviews, but it seems a many-tentacaled, appropriated version of the "The Cloward-Piven Strategy" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward%E2%80%93Piven_strategy) has increasingly been in the air as the primary strategy for a controlled demolition of most of humanity.
One — I no longer respect Amy Goodman as a journalist because of her stand (or rather lack of) on the plandemic.
And two — based on Piven's interview, even at 90, she may still be just another woke ideologue stuck in a faux Democrat-Republican split of a more complex fascist state and a globalist game-of-thrones.
Right. It's all them damn short people! Always knew it was them.
The Cloward-Piven Strategy is a small part of the plan. A guaranteed income will be a stop gap after people have no place in the work force and then are determined to have no place in the society since they have no place in the work force.
That's really quite clear.
Amy Goodman? She is, as the song says, "A long time gone." I used to respect her greatly. No more.
(sigh) ... You are right. Cloward-Piven is mostly the destruction of formerly functional institutions. Other strategies are needed to build that techno-feudal paradise of the self-anointed few. That word 'anointed' reminds me of a good spokesman only recently on my radar ... Thomas Sowell. But I am still saddened to see how far Amy Goodman and Noam Chomsky have fallen. Despite a great book about disaster capitalism, Naomi Klein has also failed to continue speaking truth to power.
Sadly Goodman, Chomsky, & Klein are like fallen arches -- used ta respect all three.... none dummies which makes it ouchier... Klein actually attacked Naomi Wolf! (cwazy stuff)... ALL be-jabbed too...
That suggestion for Jews to fail as a strategy for easing off the envy and hatred in the states rings true for me as a would-be educator in Japan, with bureaucratic functionaries as masters ... uh ... I mean 'colleagues'.
Thomas is taking up the slack left by those three dumb-smarties ... and hoping-come-hell-or-highwater, I don't age the way they did.
I think you and I were twins in another life.
Was that you sitting at the counter next to me last night ... drowning my sorrows in a cup of instant ramen? 😂
lol, I got thru undergrad on instant ramen so meebee soo lol... But yup, there is this element of the dumb smarties.... an' Japan's interestin' -- havin' good friends who are Japanese...kind, super smart, hard workin'....but unwillin' ta speak up, go against the grain EVEN when it would be just, right, an' even fair! (Back in NYShitty a lotta Asian & Jooish kids who where SO talented in moosic got the short end'a the straw in terms of scholarships--normally give under meritocracy--towards the end of the plandemic in 2022 due ta not bein' -- this is so laffable--ethnically diverse enuf!--so asians & joos become white oppressors? how so? my kid zinger lost gigs fer the same reason...) Sowell wuz so GOOD on meritocracy! Anywho... whuther we speak up or are a mite more quiet (more Japanese style) the BURROW (dunkey!) cris-ee now means that those who are promoted an' those demoted often are not "positioned" due ta talent 'er brilliance but compliance 'er just bein' warm bodies ta fill a narrative (as in Julliard is die-verse!).... An' it ain't just joos that haters want to fail... it's anyone gifted with some gen-u-ine talent or who works their rear off an' ta outsiders that means they didn't EARN their role, position, 'er bucks. Cannot believe how many times sour grapes enters an audition space--where "talent" is no longer joyfully celebrated but bitterly resented. Whaaa happened, right?
bein' gluten-free now I still enjoy ramen with KONJAC noodles.... not quite instant but easy peasy! SOUP heals the heart & keeps pockets semi-intact!
LOL, was thinking you were spiking your ramen with Cognac and then realized you were using the American / Daisy spelling of konnyaku. Yeah, that stuff is high in fiber and good for cleaning those digestive pipes. On the other hand, Cognac might also be worth a try. 😂
Stuck in a Japanese culture of compliance with authority is probably my biggest Achilles heel. At the height of my academic career, I was ordered to do something so contradictory and nonsensical by the Dean, I thought it was a test of integrity, that he couldn't be serious. I called his bluff, and later realized there was no test other than blind compliance to authority.
That blind compliance to authority, and competition for standardized tests of brute memorization are the end-all and be-all of 'institutionalized education' (an oxymoron?) in Japan. But I guess this is not exceptional. Japan copied the system from Victorian England, which got it from Prussia, trying to raise an army of compliant soldiers to fend off the likes of Napoleon's army.
As Michael Sandel pointed out in his latest book, a pure meritocracy comes with its own problems ... and then there is the Confucian-derived corruption of meritocracy that has now evolved into the social engineering masquerading as education in most of the Far East.
And one end result? Japan has the most heavily vaccinated population in the world, and it was accomplished without government-enforced mandates. Propaganda and 'suggestions' were more than enough to do the job.
Goes to show ... a few people do manage to become educated. But I suspect they do so despite the system, not because of it.
Keep on crackpottin' Daisy ... Good to read your voice again.
wull howdy Steve, happy ta hear yer kind an' moosic-lovin' voice chimin' in here....
The talented & funny Randy Newman (raised secular tho fully jooish) wrote that endearin'ly pointed tune an' other ditties due ta a real life experience. As a lil' kiddo of mebbe 7 he wuz shocked when he got disinvited from some friend's country club pahrty fer bein' a joo an' he didn't even know what that meant so he asked his dad! I used ta have a black friend that didn't know she was "black" until she wuz 7.... sadly she became woke years later.... but my pernt is that Rogers & Hammerstein's "You Got To Be Carefully Taught" comes from a place of hurt... in South Pacific it's about islanders of course... but this was post WWII an' it's also about...da joos.
Oh, an' Amy Goodman went from "respected host" ta harpie... sad ta say it, but she an' all of pubLICK-ly funded mee-dia went so far left they fell off da pier!
I didn't know that about Newman, but I could empathize with his stature. The second shortest guy in Jr. High and High school, the first girl I asked to the school dance turned me down, and was brutally honest in saying I was so short. I took her for her word and didn't even go to the graduation party for shame of my height. My height of about 5,8" makes me less threatening in Japan, and was useful when younger, invisible in retirement.
And by chance, I watched a pretty good movie today on TV I had not heard of, 'The Fabelmans' https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_fabelmans. Other than my being a bachelor in solitude, as a permanent foreigner in Japan, I could identify with a lot of it. Recommended.
Klein surprised me, as did Chomsky ... but Goodman really jaded me. She reminds me of what NPR used to be like in the late 80s and 90s. Now Substack is one of my few limited hang outs remaining, James Corbett, Whitney Webb, Rima, and a few others fighting the good fight.
You said so perfectly in one Substack what I myself have encountered in my adult life - the very same thing. The thing is, it raises the hair up on my neck when I hear or read people spewing this nonsense, as I am German and one of my family members was a member of the SS during Hitler's time. It is absolutely shocking to me that there are people who have not learned anything from Hitler's racist genocide and today in America are denying that it even happened, instead spewing Khazarian this, Zionist that. I will argue them down and point out their error. I will and have embarrassed them and taken them down verbally in public. I simply don't put up with it.
If it is an innocent person caught up in the false information fed to them, then I educate and point out the manipulation tactics used on them. Some people have no idea and are grateful to have it pointed out. I have multiple bookshelves with just Holocaust testimonies and use them to educate ignorant people because it seems our school system is not teaching them critical history at all.
Have them read The Screwtape Letters. What an eye opener that is of how and where the manipulation comes from. Thank you for your charitable heart engaging with those that need to be informed.
Thank you for this necessary, important and excellent article. We are in frightening times, which for many years, I refused to believe would happen again.
The fact that this ignorant hatred seems to have exploded is beyond deeply disturbing.
I do not know what will happen in this country, but more of us who understand the evil nature of the Nazi spirit along with other hate groups must do everything we can to speak out and try to stop jt. It’s time to become courageous and call out the haters.
Can these people be reeducate themselves? I honestly doubt it.
People who leave absurd hateful comments must not care that by doing so they have failed the test of being a good person. They are the bullies who hide behind their ability to remain invisible on this platform.
Thank you for writing this timely and needed article. I appreciate your courage.
As a side note, I wonder if those who received the jab lost some of their critical thinking abilities, or if there was something within it that disturbed the brain’s ability to control one’s impulses. Just a thought. I guess it’s easier to blame in on something else that was spread by evil and greedy intentions than to simply say this has always been here or it’s been festering in people for all these years.
This has you so upset Dr. Rima as your emotions literally came through my computer and I feel it. You are a dear and beautiful Soul who searches for good in the world and has a love for humanity that is obvious in your articles. Your post hits home as where any of us stand on extremely sensitive human subject matter. I am not sure if I am a decent person now but I used to be. I try to follow the straight and narrow and follow what Christ has asked us to do as I am a Christian. Having said that, Christ said to love one another as He loves us and to forgive others. This is the crux for me, the very agonal part. I am so angry and full of venom toward those that created gain of function Covid, then pumped out a dangerous jab for which many around the world including some family and friends have suffered greatly. 2 weeks ago a very close friend who unfortunately was jabbed, just had to have her whole tongue removed, rebuilt using other body parts, has a feeding tube and trach inserted. I have no doubt this is from the jabs she received. A turbo cancer indeed. I have other similar stories in my realm of the world. How can I do what Christ asked me to do and forgive/love those people that caused depopulation purposely, horribly affected/killed many in the young generation by way of the jab, forget what happened in nursing homes in 2020 and the horrors go on surrounding that whole damned mishegoss? I am battling with this to my very Soul. Humans like Fauci, Baric, Gates, Collins, Offit, the AMA, CDC, NIH, WHO pushing the jabs, the media narrative, those in the AMA/Big Pharma destroying the careers of life saving docs like Drs. Kory, McCullough, Stone, Rose, Cole, Wakefield Marick (and the list goes on of those brave doctors) are examples of those I find evil and foul and want justice served to all of them to the nth degree and be thrown into Hell for Eternity never to know peace. Where I stand I cannot forgive let alone love them. By any true moral yardstick and by Christ's commandments which I have failed, I have to say I am not a decent person as vexing to me as that is. I pray for all of us including myself that we all find ways to survive and thrive through all this evil now and evil yet to come and find the fortitude to do what is right when faced with evil even at our own peril. I pray for those and for myself that need to work on what Christ asked us to do even if it is a tall order that seems impossible. I have to keep telling myself, nothing is impossible with God. I thank you for this post with all my heart and thank you for your bravery and commitment to what is good and right in the eyes of God.
Wonderful message Rima. Thank you!! Bully and victim bully and victim accusers accusers....humanity is buckling. Capsizing.
One aspect I would like to add though is that to be finished, complete, the unending murderous loathing of Palestinians must also become unacceptable and disreputable. Lion-hearted Jews are leading that opposition (to murderous ethnic loathing leading to child sacrifice as the new woke normal) and must continue to.
It's heartbreaking what kind of thing were normalized to say about them since Oct. 7, which likely was an M15 operation, as per Alex Krainer. btw Everything is an M15 operation, blaming either Jews, Muslims, the poor, conservatives, what have you. Blaming the poor. Blaming the different. This weaponized ugliness, as you say. It all stems from the kick off event which was the Imperial Press Conference 1909 when 650 M15 agents gathered in Shepherd's Bush along with some American agents, and decided to take over the world by taking over all its information channels, journalism, history, everything. "Government by journalism" it was called. The "press" was never "press," always a living, lethal M15 operation in action. They sank the Titanic to thwart all significant opposition to the Federal Reserve.
I have never uttered an anti-semitic word or phrase. Nor an Islamophobic one. I don't rent out my mind to host Tavistock M15 weaponized propaganda created to stir division. They create and foment both sides. Any time you hear victim talk with no remorse or accountability, that's them. They created it. The Crown and its Empire allies created all the isms. All the wars. All of this.
This is exactly the point I was trying to make last night. If you want to make the David Dukes of the world look like the evil they are, then dismissing them is not enough. Ignoring them is not enough.
One more p.s. Rima ... though more as a reminder to myself and a hit for some potential readers for understanding the individual and collective human nature behind this planned collapse.
——————
I am with Rima on psychological regarding a psychological break-down as sufficient to understand the sociopathic game-of-thrones. Maybe I am lucky in living in Japan for the last 43 years ... a high-tech, secular land of a thousand gods. Just an observation from a permanent foreigner, but Japanese can be just as bound to rituals, traditions, and superstitious as any Western or indigenous native counterpart.
For example, the most common rituals for birth, marriage, and death are tied to Shinto-animistic, Christian, and Buddhist thought, respectively. The Jewish, Christian, Muslim tension is a conversational non-starter over here ... yet this increasingly failing society (judging by the hollowing out of the middle class and the demographic plunge) is following similar patterns as can be seen in the West.
Both through my personal, anecdotal experience of trying — and failing — to navigate the petty politics of Japanese academic institutions, and through chats with a few experienced and educated Japanese friends about the macro level of politics and corporate management ... I am seeing the same patterns of behavior behind the exotic mask of what was termed 'orientalism' over a hundred years ago (big influence on French Impressionism).
In a nutshell, an estimated minimum of 1% of any population are hard-wired, genetically pre-determined, to be high in Cluster B (dark-triad) personality traits ... pathological narcissism, Machiavellian opportunism, and morphologically defined psychopaths who are unable to experience empathy, shame, remorse, fear, and many other neurotypical emotions.
They are predatory from birth, and no amount of good parenting, good teaching practice, or good counseling can change them. Though I think counseling has its place in rectifying trauma from childhood, sickness, death, violence, and so on ... for that 1% (or more), the fable of the scorpion and the frog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog) is closer to understanding that particular problem within the wide range of human nature.
There are 'good' psychopaths in that some who are biologically incapable of normal empathy try to get along with others through a rule-based ethics rather than empathy. I suspect many famous philosophers, artists, researchers, and scientists fall into that category ... such as Immanuel Kant, any number of Hollywood stars or rock-gods, or more recently ... James Fallon, a researcher on psychopathy who was shocked to find that while checking brain scans of imprisoned psychopaths, he identified one as definitely high on the scale ... without realizing it was his own. He recounts this with good nature, and has written a book about it: 'The Psychopath Inside: A Neuroscientist’s Personal Journey into the Dark Side of the Brain'.
But it appears that most are not so good. They are hard-wired to capitalize on the good intentions and trustworthiness of the majority. However, a problem with the majority of people is that we are tribal, likely in any group larger than Dunbar's number — the number of people we have the capacity to recognize and interact with as individuals, without the need for rules, customs, laws, or algorithms.
Groups larger than Dunbar's number tend to be less egalitarian, more hierarchically authoritarian, with rules, laws, commandments, and orders serving as proxies for empathy. But that also plays into the Cluster B hands. I don't know which is closer to the truth ... Lord Acton (Power corrupts ... ) or Frank Herbert (Power attracts the corruptible) ... but there is a high correlation between positions of authority (social capital) and psychopathic character traits.
For anyone looking for a deeper dive into this, Harrison Koehli's 'Ponerology' Substack is good a starting point, and Lobaczewski's book is enlightening, I've had many good chats with 'good-psychopath' advocate Athena Walker on Quora, and there are also many good YouTube podcasters including Dr. Ramani being a high-profile spokesperson. I find her sometimes a bit scary-shrill, but for anyone who has dealth with sociopathic Cluster Bs in their personal life, she gives pretty good advice.
What prompted me to write this is a rememberance of what you, Dr. Rima, said in that 5 hour Rumble zoom chat with Monique Lukens ... 'Drug-free Psychiatrist, Dr. Rima Ellen Laibow, M.D. on exiting out of the United Nations' ... and having this very well done introduction to the evolutionary roots of psychopathy pop up in my YouTube feed today ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEDag44y4xA. Will have to watch this a few times and triangulate with my personal experiences, and literature about psychopathy in non-human species. More questions than answers.
Josh Slocum (I don't alwayz agree with him--recent stack on da joos is off the mark, some others-- but he's a "Sharpie" an' takes no prisoners/blunt an' of'in spot-on an' wicked-funny-hilarious too!) Writes all 'bout Cluster B poison-allities an' how our entire kulcha here in da west has been toxified but these formerly outlier nut cases... sadly his own ma wuz one such abusive psychopath...
'Funny' and 'Cluster B' sound like a rich source of humor I've never explored. Ironic, but most people will never catch on how truly dangerous these people are until they've persponally exerienced it.
Just followed him on your suggestion, but past 2 am here, so getting ready for my booty sleep, lord knows I need it.
There are many accusations against Jews, mostly unsubstantiated with credible sources and data. Whereas there are also many credible sources and data substantiating the actual terror attacks against them by the Jihadist creed.
There are also many credible sources and facts of the contributions of Jews to the betterment of all peoples. Whereas there are also many credible sources and facts regarding the lack of positive or beneficial acts by their detractors. In the case of Israel, these are all occuring despite not having one moment of peace in the 75 years of their existence. Can you even imagine how much Israel and Jews in general could have gifted the world had they not been forced to keep looking over their shoulder for the next version of an antisemite to come crawling out of some decaying putrid corpse called Jew Hatred?
Well said, Steve. Humanity has lost out on much that could have been given had it not been for this hatred and also what was lost during the insanity of the Holocaust. Crimes against humanity continues. Such an evil mindset.
There are good people of every nationality, race, creed, color. There are bad people of every nationality, race, creed, color. People tend to generalize their experiences with other people based on nationality, race, creed, color but there really is no use doing that; there is no way to sort out who might make a decent friend and who might not, other than interacting with people and discovering their character. Due to these, my beliefs, I find it difficult to get behind any flag or any nationality or group wholeheartedly, and I travel somewhat alone in the world. But even in this, there are many like me, alone together.
Unfortunately, because of of the genocide in Gaza, and Zionism in general, which doesn't have much to do with Judaism, and because more people are becoming wise to the Federal Reserve scam, this kind of hateful painting of everyone Jewish with a broad brush is becoming more popular.
I have learnt not to associate intellectual abilities, intelligence, clever or smart to decency and to wisdom. I'm still trying my darndest to figure out why are there so many Western university students supporting my enemies (I do have lots of enemies). So far the only satisfactory conclusion that I can make is that those students are simply very stupid.
So, my professional analysis of XXX is that he is a very stupid person.
My other observation is this, 'Do not underestimate stupidity. Stupidity is a lot more dangerous than evil'.
Since Covid-19, I realised that there are a lot more stupid people in the World than I initially thought. And I mean a lot lot lot lot more!
This divide and conquer strategy is well and truly in play right now. I've had to un-follow a number of writers whose work I had previously respected, once they decided that this or that group was genetically flawed, or responsible for all the world's evil, or whatever. While Jews seem to be a favourite target, blacks, women and seniors are also being targeted to fulfill the need for someone to blame. It seems to appeal to people who like to take the easy way out.
Frankly, I've been stunned by some of the things intelligent, well-researched people seem willing to believe, much less put out there into the world for others to read. It hurts my heart to know that if they believe these things, and are willing to say them out loud, they are likely to take action on them if the opportunity arises.
No, they are not decent people. And you are absolutely right. You can feel truth in your heart, just as you can feel how destructive this type of division creation is.
I saw a lot of this during Covid and now it’s back with anti-Zionism or anti-Israel. It’s so depressing how weak and horrible so many people are.
Take heart! Most people, in spite of the massive campaigns to destroy humanity with online bots, trolls, fake polls, etc., and the small number of fervently insane followers of such who are led by their own emotional reactions and crazy thoughts -- most people (not even many in relative terms) are NOT "weak and horrible"...Please spend more time outside, with friends and family IF you enjoy them and they value you, and get off the internet as much as possible...The world, though it is intentionally facing destructive, organized, attacks, is still, largely, a beautiful place with many strong-spirited, good, people.
I did that pretty much all last week and it was wonderful. I agree. I met some good people outside in the real world.
It’s why I prefer the company of animals to most humans. People think I am joking when I say that but I am not. I bought a t-shirt that reads “Dogs make me happy. Humans make my head hurt.” I mean it these days.
I need one of those!
Who doesn’t 😂
I feel the same way and I'm not joking either.
We can just start our own non-asshole group. I’m pretty over the divide and conquer nonsense along with violence of every sort.
I focus on evidence of crimes rather than stereotyping (This includes allopathic doctors....some have made huge sacrifices to protect their patients and general public...others need to be prosecuted for democide)
No one can control other's thoughts or opinions, so I live by " It is none of my business what another thinks about me"... If they speak slander, it becomes a prosecutable crime.
I spend at least twice a day to do meditation and finish my sacred time with prayer & affirmations 🙏💐🌿🌍
I live by 10 Commandments and strongly suggest others to live by them so that blessings be realized by all!
I respect & admire your life's work defending, healing & warning people to prevent tragedies...Stay strong in these aligned actions! And yes, all of us need to call out bad behavior because world is civilized!

I have asked God for years why He will not intervene to bring peace to the Middle East.
I have yet to receive an answer:{.
I've wondered this a lot too. And I believe free will has much to do with it. He gave all of us free will and His intervention would violate the free will of those few among us who choose evil, such as instigating war. There would be little point in giving free will if it was going to be taken away whenever the choice was to commit an evil act.
I also believe He does intervene, but perhaps at times and in ways we can't easily recognize. Things could, of course, always be worse!
I think your free will argument is a good one.
Thanks!
God has some things that are not for us to know.
Not ever leader/commander should reveal all details of their plans to their subordinates, for the sake of the plan itself.
God gives us what we need, not what we want 🙏
Heavy Sigh. I will never understand Him.
Hang in there. I'm guessing He will explain it all to us when we get up there.
Thank you for the link, I am grateful for it. I am working tonight but maybe one of these Saturdays I can participate. Appreciate the invite, so nice of you to take the time to let me know about this. We learn so much when we participate on Substacks. Listen for me tonight SAC and enjoy the service.
ISRAEL might be a PEOPLE not PALESTINE...............decedent's from JACOB.........
Sure, I was just referring to the people now living in what is referred to as Palestine. I think we can/should pray for all people, and those people were merely an example.
Hi Rima.
We all know who the really evil people are ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bfyS-S-IJs
On a more serious note, you may have mentioned this is one of your many interviews, but it seems a many-tentacaled, appropriated version of the "The Cloward-Piven Strategy" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward%E2%80%93Piven_strategy) has increasingly been in the air as the primary strategy for a controlled demolition of most of humanity.
I've listened to a few interviews of Piven, including an interview of two years ago by Amy Goodman ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXZAxK8btd4&t=358s
But I have two problems with that interview.
One — I no longer respect Amy Goodman as a journalist because of her stand (or rather lack of) on the plandemic.
And two — based on Piven's interview, even at 90, she may still be just another woke ideologue stuck in a faux Democrat-Republican split of a more complex fascist state and a globalist game-of-thrones.
Cheers from Japan,
And keep up the good fight.
Right. It's all them damn short people! Always knew it was them.
The Cloward-Piven Strategy is a small part of the plan. A guaranteed income will be a stop gap after people have no place in the work force and then are determined to have no place in the society since they have no place in the work force.
That's really quite clear.
Amy Goodman? She is, as the song says, "A long time gone." I used to respect her greatly. No more.
(sigh) ... You are right. Cloward-Piven is mostly the destruction of formerly functional institutions. Other strategies are needed to build that techno-feudal paradise of the self-anointed few. That word 'anointed' reminds me of a good spokesman only recently on my radar ... Thomas Sowell. But I am still saddened to see how far Amy Goodman and Noam Chomsky have fallen. Despite a great book about disaster capitalism, Naomi Klein has also failed to continue speaking truth to power.
Cheers Rima.
I am honored by your response.
God bless Thomas Sowell--a dear brilliant scholar an' "viseman!"
https://www.theblaze.com/shows/the-rubin-report/thomas-sowell-brilliantly-explains-the-reason-jews-are-historically-so-hated
Sadly Goodman, Chomsky, & Klein are like fallen arches -- used ta respect all three.... none dummies which makes it ouchier... Klein actually attacked Naomi Wolf! (cwazy stuff)... ALL be-jabbed too...
Yeah, I really like Thomas.
That suggestion for Jews to fail as a strategy for easing off the envy and hatred in the states rings true for me as a would-be educator in Japan, with bureaucratic functionaries as masters ... uh ... I mean 'colleagues'.
Thomas is taking up the slack left by those three dumb-smarties ... and hoping-come-hell-or-highwater, I don't age the way they did.
I think you and I were twins in another life.
Was that you sitting at the counter next to me last night ... drowning my sorrows in a cup of instant ramen? 😂
lol, I got thru undergrad on instant ramen so meebee soo lol... But yup, there is this element of the dumb smarties.... an' Japan's interestin' -- havin' good friends who are Japanese...kind, super smart, hard workin'....but unwillin' ta speak up, go against the grain EVEN when it would be just, right, an' even fair! (Back in NYShitty a lotta Asian & Jooish kids who where SO talented in moosic got the short end'a the straw in terms of scholarships--normally give under meritocracy--towards the end of the plandemic in 2022 due ta not bein' -- this is so laffable--ethnically diverse enuf!--so asians & joos become white oppressors? how so? my kid zinger lost gigs fer the same reason...) Sowell wuz so GOOD on meritocracy! Anywho... whuther we speak up or are a mite more quiet (more Japanese style) the BURROW (dunkey!) cris-ee now means that those who are promoted an' those demoted often are not "positioned" due ta talent 'er brilliance but compliance 'er just bein' warm bodies ta fill a narrative (as in Julliard is die-verse!).... An' it ain't just joos that haters want to fail... it's anyone gifted with some gen-u-ine talent or who works their rear off an' ta outsiders that means they didn't EARN their role, position, 'er bucks. Cannot believe how many times sour grapes enters an audition space--where "talent" is no longer joyfully celebrated but bitterly resented. Whaaa happened, right?
bein' gluten-free now I still enjoy ramen with KONJAC noodles.... not quite instant but easy peasy! SOUP heals the heart & keeps pockets semi-intact!
Hey Daisy!
LOL, was thinking you were spiking your ramen with Cognac and then realized you were using the American / Daisy spelling of konnyaku. Yeah, that stuff is high in fiber and good for cleaning those digestive pipes. On the other hand, Cognac might also be worth a try. 😂
Stuck in a Japanese culture of compliance with authority is probably my biggest Achilles heel. At the height of my academic career, I was ordered to do something so contradictory and nonsensical by the Dean, I thought it was a test of integrity, that he couldn't be serious. I called his bluff, and later realized there was no test other than blind compliance to authority.
That blind compliance to authority, and competition for standardized tests of brute memorization are the end-all and be-all of 'institutionalized education' (an oxymoron?) in Japan. But I guess this is not exceptional. Japan copied the system from Victorian England, which got it from Prussia, trying to raise an army of compliant soldiers to fend off the likes of Napoleon's army.
As Michael Sandel pointed out in his latest book, a pure meritocracy comes with its own problems ... and then there is the Confucian-derived corruption of meritocracy that has now evolved into the social engineering masquerading as education in most of the Far East.
And one end result? Japan has the most heavily vaccinated population in the world, and it was accomplished without government-enforced mandates. Propaganda and 'suggestions' were more than enough to do the job.
Goes to show ... a few people do manage to become educated. But I suspect they do so despite the system, not because of it.
Keep on crackpottin' Daisy ... Good to read your voice again.
🥰
wull howdy Steve, happy ta hear yer kind an' moosic-lovin' voice chimin' in here....
The talented & funny Randy Newman (raised secular tho fully jooish) wrote that endearin'ly pointed tune an' other ditties due ta a real life experience. As a lil' kiddo of mebbe 7 he wuz shocked when he got disinvited from some friend's country club pahrty fer bein' a joo an' he didn't even know what that meant so he asked his dad! I used ta have a black friend that didn't know she was "black" until she wuz 7.... sadly she became woke years later.... but my pernt is that Rogers & Hammerstein's "You Got To Be Carefully Taught" comes from a place of hurt... in South Pacific it's about islanders of course... but this was post WWII an' it's also about...da joos.
Oh, an' Amy Goodman went from "respected host" ta harpie... sad ta say it, but she an' all of pubLICK-ly funded mee-dia went so far left they fell off da pier!
Daisies-lilies-and-Roses!
It so good to see your name again!
I wanna give ya a hug.
I didn't know that about Newman, but I could empathize with his stature. The second shortest guy in Jr. High and High school, the first girl I asked to the school dance turned me down, and was brutally honest in saying I was so short. I took her for her word and didn't even go to the graduation party for shame of my height. My height of about 5,8" makes me less threatening in Japan, and was useful when younger, invisible in retirement.
And by chance, I watched a pretty good movie today on TV I had not heard of, 'The Fabelmans' https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_fabelmans. Other than my being a bachelor in solitude, as a permanent foreigner in Japan, I could identify with a lot of it. Recommended.
Klein surprised me, as did Chomsky ... but Goodman really jaded me. She reminds me of what NPR used to be like in the late 80s and 90s. Now Substack is one of my few limited hang outs remaining, James Corbett, Whitney Webb, Rima, and a few others fighting the good fight.
Good to see your name among em!
Cheers Daisy!
You said so perfectly in one Substack what I myself have encountered in my adult life - the very same thing. The thing is, it raises the hair up on my neck when I hear or read people spewing this nonsense, as I am German and one of my family members was a member of the SS during Hitler's time. It is absolutely shocking to me that there are people who have not learned anything from Hitler's racist genocide and today in America are denying that it even happened, instead spewing Khazarian this, Zionist that. I will argue them down and point out their error. I will and have embarrassed them and taken them down verbally in public. I simply don't put up with it.
If it is an innocent person caught up in the false information fed to them, then I educate and point out the manipulation tactics used on them. Some people have no idea and are grateful to have it pointed out. I have multiple bookshelves with just Holocaust testimonies and use them to educate ignorant people because it seems our school system is not teaching them critical history at all.
Have them read The Screwtape Letters. What an eye opener that is of how and where the manipulation comes from. Thank you for your charitable heart engaging with those that need to be informed.
keep hearin' this recommended! I LOVE C.S. Lewis so I'mm'a gonna git me a copy!
Thank you for this necessary, important and excellent article. We are in frightening times, which for many years, I refused to believe would happen again.
The fact that this ignorant hatred seems to have exploded is beyond deeply disturbing.
I do not know what will happen in this country, but more of us who understand the evil nature of the Nazi spirit along with other hate groups must do everything we can to speak out and try to stop jt. It’s time to become courageous and call out the haters.
Can these people be reeducate themselves? I honestly doubt it.
People who leave absurd hateful comments must not care that by doing so they have failed the test of being a good person. They are the bullies who hide behind their ability to remain invisible on this platform.
Thank you for writing this timely and needed article. I appreciate your courage.
As a side note, I wonder if those who received the jab lost some of their critical thinking abilities, or if there was something within it that disturbed the brain’s ability to control one’s impulses. Just a thought. I guess it’s easier to blame in on something else that was spread by evil and greedy intentions than to simply say this has always been here or it’s been festering in people for all these years.
I was thinking the same thing about the jabs Lara.
This has you so upset Dr. Rima as your emotions literally came through my computer and I feel it. You are a dear and beautiful Soul who searches for good in the world and has a love for humanity that is obvious in your articles. Your post hits home as where any of us stand on extremely sensitive human subject matter. I am not sure if I am a decent person now but I used to be. I try to follow the straight and narrow and follow what Christ has asked us to do as I am a Christian. Having said that, Christ said to love one another as He loves us and to forgive others. This is the crux for me, the very agonal part. I am so angry and full of venom toward those that created gain of function Covid, then pumped out a dangerous jab for which many around the world including some family and friends have suffered greatly. 2 weeks ago a very close friend who unfortunately was jabbed, just had to have her whole tongue removed, rebuilt using other body parts, has a feeding tube and trach inserted. I have no doubt this is from the jabs she received. A turbo cancer indeed. I have other similar stories in my realm of the world. How can I do what Christ asked me to do and forgive/love those people that caused depopulation purposely, horribly affected/killed many in the young generation by way of the jab, forget what happened in nursing homes in 2020 and the horrors go on surrounding that whole damned mishegoss? I am battling with this to my very Soul. Humans like Fauci, Baric, Gates, Collins, Offit, the AMA, CDC, NIH, WHO pushing the jabs, the media narrative, those in the AMA/Big Pharma destroying the careers of life saving docs like Drs. Kory, McCullough, Stone, Rose, Cole, Wakefield Marick (and the list goes on of those brave doctors) are examples of those I find evil and foul and want justice served to all of them to the nth degree and be thrown into Hell for Eternity never to know peace. Where I stand I cannot forgive let alone love them. By any true moral yardstick and by Christ's commandments which I have failed, I have to say I am not a decent person as vexing to me as that is. I pray for all of us including myself that we all find ways to survive and thrive through all this evil now and evil yet to come and find the fortitude to do what is right when faced with evil even at our own peril. I pray for those and for myself that need to work on what Christ asked us to do even if it is a tall order that seems impossible. I have to keep telling myself, nothing is impossible with God. I thank you for this post with all my heart and thank you for your bravery and commitment to what is good and right in the eyes of God.
Thank you, Lori.
Wonderful message Rima. Thank you!! Bully and victim bully and victim accusers accusers....humanity is buckling. Capsizing.
One aspect I would like to add though is that to be finished, complete, the unending murderous loathing of Palestinians must also become unacceptable and disreputable. Lion-hearted Jews are leading that opposition (to murderous ethnic loathing leading to child sacrifice as the new woke normal) and must continue to.
It's heartbreaking what kind of thing were normalized to say about them since Oct. 7, which likely was an M15 operation, as per Alex Krainer. btw Everything is an M15 operation, blaming either Jews, Muslims, the poor, conservatives, what have you. Blaming the poor. Blaming the different. This weaponized ugliness, as you say. It all stems from the kick off event which was the Imperial Press Conference 1909 when 650 M15 agents gathered in Shepherd's Bush along with some American agents, and decided to take over the world by taking over all its information channels, journalism, history, everything. "Government by journalism" it was called. The "press" was never "press," always a living, lethal M15 operation in action. They sank the Titanic to thwart all significant opposition to the Federal Reserve.
I have never uttered an anti-semitic word or phrase. Nor an Islamophobic one. I don't rent out my mind to host Tavistock M15 weaponized propaganda created to stir division. They create and foment both sides. Any time you hear victim talk with no remorse or accountability, that's them. They created it. The Crown and its Empire allies created all the isms. All the wars. All of this.
This is exactly the point I was trying to make last night. If you want to make the David Dukes of the world look like the evil they are, then dismissing them is not enough. Ignoring them is not enough.
One more p.s. Rima ... though more as a reminder to myself and a hit for some potential readers for understanding the individual and collective human nature behind this planned collapse.
——————
I am with Rima on psychological regarding a psychological break-down as sufficient to understand the sociopathic game-of-thrones. Maybe I am lucky in living in Japan for the last 43 years ... a high-tech, secular land of a thousand gods. Just an observation from a permanent foreigner, but Japanese can be just as bound to rituals, traditions, and superstitious as any Western or indigenous native counterpart.
For example, the most common rituals for birth, marriage, and death are tied to Shinto-animistic, Christian, and Buddhist thought, respectively. The Jewish, Christian, Muslim tension is a conversational non-starter over here ... yet this increasingly failing society (judging by the hollowing out of the middle class and the demographic plunge) is following similar patterns as can be seen in the West.
Both through my personal, anecdotal experience of trying — and failing — to navigate the petty politics of Japanese academic institutions, and through chats with a few experienced and educated Japanese friends about the macro level of politics and corporate management ... I am seeing the same patterns of behavior behind the exotic mask of what was termed 'orientalism' over a hundred years ago (big influence on French Impressionism).
In a nutshell, an estimated minimum of 1% of any population are hard-wired, genetically pre-determined, to be high in Cluster B (dark-triad) personality traits ... pathological narcissism, Machiavellian opportunism, and morphologically defined psychopaths who are unable to experience empathy, shame, remorse, fear, and many other neurotypical emotions.
They are predatory from birth, and no amount of good parenting, good teaching practice, or good counseling can change them. Though I think counseling has its place in rectifying trauma from childhood, sickness, death, violence, and so on ... for that 1% (or more), the fable of the scorpion and the frog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog) is closer to understanding that particular problem within the wide range of human nature.
There are 'good' psychopaths in that some who are biologically incapable of normal empathy try to get along with others through a rule-based ethics rather than empathy. I suspect many famous philosophers, artists, researchers, and scientists fall into that category ... such as Immanuel Kant, any number of Hollywood stars or rock-gods, or more recently ... James Fallon, a researcher on psychopathy who was shocked to find that while checking brain scans of imprisoned psychopaths, he identified one as definitely high on the scale ... without realizing it was his own. He recounts this with good nature, and has written a book about it: 'The Psychopath Inside: A Neuroscientist’s Personal Journey into the Dark Side of the Brain'.
But it appears that most are not so good. They are hard-wired to capitalize on the good intentions and trustworthiness of the majority. However, a problem with the majority of people is that we are tribal, likely in any group larger than Dunbar's number — the number of people we have the capacity to recognize and interact with as individuals, without the need for rules, customs, laws, or algorithms.
Groups larger than Dunbar's number tend to be less egalitarian, more hierarchically authoritarian, with rules, laws, commandments, and orders serving as proxies for empathy. But that also plays into the Cluster B hands. I don't know which is closer to the truth ... Lord Acton (Power corrupts ... ) or Frank Herbert (Power attracts the corruptible) ... but there is a high correlation between positions of authority (social capital) and psychopathic character traits.
For anyone looking for a deeper dive into this, Harrison Koehli's 'Ponerology' Substack is good a starting point, and Lobaczewski's book is enlightening, I've had many good chats with 'good-psychopath' advocate Athena Walker on Quora, and there are also many good YouTube podcasters including Dr. Ramani being a high-profile spokesperson. I find her sometimes a bit scary-shrill, but for anyone who has dealth with sociopathic Cluster Bs in their personal life, she gives pretty good advice.
What prompted me to write this is a rememberance of what you, Dr. Rima, said in that 5 hour Rumble zoom chat with Monique Lukens ... 'Drug-free Psychiatrist, Dr. Rima Ellen Laibow, M.D. on exiting out of the United Nations' ... and having this very well done introduction to the evolutionary roots of psychopathy pop up in my YouTube feed today ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEDag44y4xA. Will have to watch this a few times and triangulate with my personal experiences, and literature about psychopathy in non-human species. More questions than answers.
Cheers all, and thank you again Rima.
Josh Slocum (I don't alwayz agree with him--recent stack on da joos is off the mark, some others-- but he's a "Sharpie" an' takes no prisoners/blunt an' of'in spot-on an' wicked-funny-hilarious too!) Writes all 'bout Cluster B poison-allities an' how our entire kulcha here in da west has been toxified but these formerly outlier nut cases... sadly his own ma wuz one such abusive psychopath...

Thanks for the heads up, Daisy.
'Funny' and 'Cluster B' sound like a rich source of humor I've never explored. Ironic, but most people will never catch on how truly dangerous these people are until they've persponally exerienced it.
Just followed him on your suggestion, but past 2 am here, so getting ready for my booty sleep, lord knows I need it.
Good night from Japan Daisy!
There are many accusations against Jews, mostly unsubstantiated with credible sources and data. Whereas there are also many credible sources and data substantiating the actual terror attacks against them by the Jihadist creed.
There are also many credible sources and facts of the contributions of Jews to the betterment of all peoples. Whereas there are also many credible sources and facts regarding the lack of positive or beneficial acts by their detractors. In the case of Israel, these are all occuring despite not having one moment of peace in the 75 years of their existence. Can you even imagine how much Israel and Jews in general could have gifted the world had they not been forced to keep looking over their shoulder for the next version of an antisemite to come crawling out of some decaying putrid corpse called Jew Hatred?
Steve Friedman, West Kelowna, BC, Canada.
Well said, Steve. Humanity has lost out on much that could have been given had it not been for this hatred and also what was lost during the insanity of the Holocaust. Crimes against humanity continues. Such an evil mindset.
There are good people of every nationality, race, creed, color. There are bad people of every nationality, race, creed, color. People tend to generalize their experiences with other people based on nationality, race, creed, color but there really is no use doing that; there is no way to sort out who might make a decent friend and who might not, other than interacting with people and discovering their character. Due to these, my beliefs, I find it difficult to get behind any flag or any nationality or group wholeheartedly, and I travel somewhat alone in the world. But even in this, there are many like me, alone together.
Stay strong! 🙏💐🌿🌍
OUCH! Gald my name is not XXX.
Well Done Dr Rima!
Unfortunately, because of of the genocide in Gaza, and Zionism in general, which doesn't have much to do with Judaism, and because more people are becoming wise to the Federal Reserve scam, this kind of hateful painting of everyone Jewish with a broad brush is becoming more popular.
I have learnt not to associate intellectual abilities, intelligence, clever or smart to decency and to wisdom. I'm still trying my darndest to figure out why are there so many Western university students supporting my enemies (I do have lots of enemies). So far the only satisfactory conclusion that I can make is that those students are simply very stupid.
So, my professional analysis of XXX is that he is a very stupid person.
My other observation is this, 'Do not underestimate stupidity. Stupidity is a lot more dangerous than evil'.
Since Covid-19, I realised that there are a lot more stupid people in the World than I initially thought. And I mean a lot lot lot lot more!
This divide and conquer strategy is well and truly in play right now. I've had to un-follow a number of writers whose work I had previously respected, once they decided that this or that group was genetically flawed, or responsible for all the world's evil, or whatever. While Jews seem to be a favourite target, blacks, women and seniors are also being targeted to fulfill the need for someone to blame. It seems to appeal to people who like to take the easy way out.
Frankly, I've been stunned by some of the things intelligent, well-researched people seem willing to believe, much less put out there into the world for others to read. It hurts my heart to know that if they believe these things, and are willing to say them out loud, they are likely to take action on them if the opportunity arises.
No, they are not decent people. And you are absolutely right. You can feel truth in your heart, just as you can feel how destructive this type of division creation is.
