Thank you Frances! Essential reading (imo) on Barbara Marx Hubbard new in the series by John Klyczek ... Game B mentioned:

Ew. I had to stop reading that. I found it so disturbing for many reasons.

Three movements—Game B's collective intelligence utopia, the Dark Enlightenment's anti-democratic vision, and the Network State's digital secession—appeared to be distinct intellectual exercises emerging from different corners of the internet but they are a coalescing ideological project funded by the same Silicon Valley oligarchs, promoted by overlaps of thought leaders, aimed at the same ultimate goal—the complete transformation of American governance from Constitutional Republic to techno-authoritarian empire. These movements seek planetary scale, but the capture of America and the West are priority.

The usual suspects, the Rockefeller Gang, has a 2010 prospectus for all the cool kids to get on board and use as an operators' manual as well.

Nothing like flaunting it in your face to make you shrink.

ps

I forgot to elaborate on who is Barbara Marx Hubbard and what she believed. She wrote books about Homo Amore Universalis and is considered the grandmother of transhumanism. I watched a very short video of her yesterday - https://youtu.be/1yqEa7ZaJ10

Thanks for this, as I was about to 'look her up'. Is she related to L Ron Hubbard of Scientology 'fame'? Wow. She's interesting. A dreamer? Delusional? Have I become so cynical and disgusted by today's 'mood' that I now chafe at anyone suggesting 'we' can arrive at (never mind strive for) such a thing as Homo amore universalis? Gaza, anyone?

I was about to ask the same question if she was relatives… suposedly she not, neither her vus and Earl Hubbard. But i cant shake off that feeling that theres something fishy here. She says homo universalis is new? ITS something dating back to davinci.

She is not related to either of her otherwise infamous surnames.

The way she talks about us évolution from recent social trauma… makes Me think of Bret Weinstein and is phénix revival. To do do, all as to become ashes. Just a hint 😉 they May not be relatives but they sure makes $ from the same ffear & hope bizness to my view on it. I May be wrong its a first impression

Yes Frances ..Barb Marx Hubbard is as crazy as a two-bob watch.

I could be wrong, and I often am, but I think all these "names and influencers" around the web are nothing more than main chance grifters and rent seekers ... who gather and pretend to be cosmic, spiritual, culty, shit sticks who play inner and outer space gobble de gook games, because it makes them seem cool and sexy.

They sell cope to fill that void where love and God usually reside.

Many ways to cope in haste, including praying up above

If I've a choice, I'll take the love But Gods are just a waste of space.

cope? Did you mean hope? I don’t understand you either way!

Mimi Extra's avatar

What I mean is that these people are devoid of God and love, it's clear by the way they look at the world. They soothe themselves by filling that void with New Age spirituality, complexity disguised as depth, and sex ("cosmic sex", "co-creative sex", never sex as an expression of love).

lol - Yep! She struck me to be as phoney as a nine-bob note too! I dare say she genuinely believed all her schtick but I was sad to note that she wanted to bump off at least a quarter of humanity because she felt they were incapable of achieving the next stage of human 'evolution'!

Viewed from the aspect of morale (ours), I think it is prudent to bear in mind that these people always develop a lust for power, which in turn forces them to compete, until their former allies, now secretly seen as enemies, become a perception that eventually consumes them. It was ever thus. ( I love sounding ancient, wise, and pious).

Thank You, Frances, for keeping this "loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires" on the radar.

Peter Thiel is a creepy one. Can barely put a coherent sentence together in the interviews I've seen with him when asked simple questions.

Thanks for the post. Didn't know Courtenay had a substack account.

Jay Dyer also has extensive knowledge in the "Game" category as he has read a myriad of books by the globalists themselves (so you don't have to). Calls it the globalist book series.

"Say yes to the impulse." She's a perv is my guess. Sorry, but the hubris of her speeches as the gnosis queen and her self aggrandising is so nuts I consider it a form of perversion. My petite French mama and grandmother would call that out tout suite. Is she a victim or a perp? We don't have to waste our time on that. She's been sorted out but not by the Christ she was speaking of.

I absolutely LOVE courtney, bubly-joyfull charisma is great. But i appreciate her for the lives she had with Matt ereth on plan B and many more subject. She is one of the very few who covered plan B. Ty because i was watching her sporadicly via rumble when Matt went on her show. I didnt knew she had a substack. Thanks for the link. I prefer substack to social media👌👌👌

Dear Frances, I scanned the article, and most of what I read, I read before from Patrick Wood. I don't see any credits given him. His posts are free for a few days then go to paid subscribers.

That is interesting. I read Patrick Wood's work too and I have never heard him name the Technobrats and their many think-tanks. I must have missed that.

It's easy to miss one since it's every day or every other day. I'm still able to listen to this one since it's an interview hosted by Daniel Horowitz....it's very, very good. https://patrickwood.substack.com/p/techno-fascism-reaching-inflection?utm_source=podcast-email&publication_id=721283&post_id=169170684&utm_campaign=email-play-on-substack&utm_content=watch_now_button&r=15lwy6&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email Also, todays line up on his "Technocracy News & Trends". https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgzQbgcTwJjrJLrPpnGTzcsDzwjfp

It's with google, so it may not open...let me know if it doesn't and I'll send it another way.

Patrick Wood and Daniel Horowitz make general statements and name nobody. Patrick Wood shares Courteney Turner's articles with glowing references on his Substack Notes. Her work is not the same as his. She is talking about how Game B came about and who was involved or connected. I think your dismissal and 'skim' needs revision.

I only know I read on Patrick Wood's site much of what she wrote, naming names, etc. however, that post was sometime towards the end of July, so it was only available for 3 days. I hope this clarifies. I am not dismissing her input in the least, just giving Patrick W. credit for his work.

Whoa! After a quick perusal- what stuck with me came from the brief on Section 4 of Courtney's 'The Epstein Transhumanist Conspiracy'- the line 'manufacturing consent through complexity'-resonated with me because, frankly, most ordinary humans wandering around (that would be me) cannot absorb the slushy mud of this so-called intellectualism (the Hariris of WEF, the massive 'intellectual' Jordan Peterson (who gives me a headache each time I listen to him- which has become less and less frequent, btw). I admit I only skimmed the offering. Just wanted to acknowledge I received this post AND am always happy to see your work, Frances. Will try to dig into it all later- after a couple more jolts of caffeine and perhaps a little psylocibin! xoxo
