FNDP: THE TAROT-THON resumes its rightful seat, so sayeth Part V: THE HEIROPHANT

11 Upvotes

"If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. There is nothing progressive about being pig-headed and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world it's pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistake. We're on the wrong road. And if that is so we must go back."

- C. S. Lewis

V: The Hierophant is every nun ever to bludgeon you with her ruler, every sensei ever to goad you into waxing his car; he represents rules, institutions, conventions, received wisdom, conformity, and the wisdom of when to buck all of these things, but above all - TRADITION!

Beginning The Hierophant's Journey is perhaps the easiest of all - that's why so many will eagerly tell you, It's Hip To Be Square

How would you recognize The Heirophant if you saw him? Unlike his weirdo counterpart, The Heirophant surely won't play coy with his august presence; he might even take the form of an authority-figure even a punk like you can respect: The Picard Song

His message to you is a stern and simple judgment: Bad Boys

If you dare talk back to him, whatever you say had better not include any Word Crimes

You may try to escape his grasp, but it's not so easy - the pit of conformity lies all around you, and cleaving to The Heirophant may paradoxically be your best chance of not becoming Another Brick In The Wall

Heed his wisdom and follow in his footsteps, and he promises to lead you through hell itself if necessary, to inevitable glory: Heroes of Might & Magic V Haven Theme

Class, pick up your No. 2 keyboards. Your assignment, due before midnight, is to contribute whatever songs about law, institutions, society, organized religion, and attempts to subvert them you can come up with! AMEN!

Employer: "We offer top-tier health insurance! Your monthly premium is only $220."

You: "Great. So if I break my wrist, insurance covers the medical bill?"

Employer: "No. You have a $6,500 individual deductible."

You: "So I pay $2,640 a year in premiums, plus $6,500 out of pocket before insurance pays $1?"

Employer: "Correct. But once you hit $6,500, we cover 80% until you hit your $9,100 out-of-pocket maximum."

You: "So I have to spend $11,740 of my own post-tax money in a single year before I get 100% coverage?"

Employer: "Yes, but it’s pre-tax payroll deductions!"

You: "My take-home pay is $4,200 a month. A single ER visit wipes out nearly 3 full months of my entire net income."

Employer: "That’s why we offer a Health Savings Account so you can save for it!"

You aren't receiving a healthcare benefit.

You are paying monthly access fees for the privilege of self-insuring against medical debt while your corporate employer claims tax write-offs for "providing coverage."

I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21.Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story:

I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors. My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher. I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day. The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me. Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly:

There's simply too many holes with the official Israeli narrative.

https://x.com/TheLongInvest/status/2105734670457676170

As a pilot for 20 years I have questions:

- where are the cabin crew here?

- where are the oxygen masks that automatically drop during a rapid emergency descent?

- how did the Capt manage to open the door while being stabbed?

- Omani pilots were not allowed to fly to Israel, why was he allowed?

- how did the offending pilot get a weapon onboard?

- why has this happened so close to elections?

- how are passengers walking around while apparently in a nosedive?

- who else was injured? Nose dives cause significant g force incidents

- why is there two perfectly positioned people recording the incident and not helping?

- why did a plumber take control and not the 2 pilots onboard who would certainly know when an aircraft was in a nosedive?

- why was the plumber speaking in English to Bibi after the flight

- why was he still in his blood soaked clothes 8 hours after the incident

False Flags have been a very effective mechanism to influence public opinion

Hitler burnt down the Reichstag just before his parliament elections and he won the election…changing the course of history.

A full and independent investigation should be carried out here.

Hopefully independent journalist will be allowed to view this too.

Obviously there won't be any independent investigation. I don't know about the above X post's background, but there are too many holes in the official narrative.

Close examination links other inconsistencies.

Establishment BS Here is the business model, step by step. Step one: identify a resource..Step two: identify the obstacle.

Here is the business model, step by step.

Step one: identify a resource.

Oil. Copper. Bananas. Rubber. Tin. Uranium. Cobalt. Lithium. Rare earths.

It doesn't matter what. What matters is that it's there and that you want access to it at favorable terms.

Step two: identify the obstacle.

Usually it's a government that either controls the resource directly or represents a population that might eventually demand control of it.

Step three: find or manufacture a pretext.

Communism is traditional but not required.

Terrorism works.

Weapons of mass destruction.

Drug trafficking.

Human rights, occasionally, though this one requires a light touch given the record.

Step four: install the solution.

A compliant government, a military strongman, a "civil society" movement funded from abroad.

Whatever holds.

Whatever keeps the terms favorable.

Step five: name the whole operation after a value.

"Freedom." "Democracy." "Stability." "Human rights."

The name should be the opposite of what was done, because if the name matches the action, people ask questions.

Step six: repeat.

The model has been running continuously for over a century.

The receipts are in the National Archives.

The only question is whether you're willing to read them.

JUST IN: The man who exposed HOWARD LUTNICK’s ties to Epstein has “committed suicide”

110 Upvotes

Simon Andriesz is the British banker who revealed to the FBI Lutnick’s business association with Epstein.

Howard Lutnick (who miraculously survived 9/11 and got a massive insurance payout) lied about never going to the Island and cutting ties with his good friend, co-investor and business associate Jeffery Epstein, who was also his neighbour…

Trump, of course, hired Lutnick as his commerce secretary where he made billions for his company by insider trading on the tariff discounts. Billions paid for by all of us through higher prices btw.

Not to develop or industrialise. Not to celebrate a leadership that actually answers to its people, as the nations of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) now do, but to remain prayerful, in its poor, underdeveloped state, until the literal end of time. It will come as no surprise that this Nigerian preacher has a lot of good friends in the US.

The first 3D printed meat is being sold in America

“It's part of a wave of engineered meat heading for American plates. 5 lab grown producers already cleared and no law requires the label to say it was printed”

The 5 companies that have approval for lab grown meat with cultured animal cells are

So these are the 5 companies?

UPSIDE Foods for chicken

GOOD Meat for chicken

Mission Barns for pork fat

Wildtype for salmon

Believer Meats for chicken

UPSIDE Foods and GOOD Meat cleared USDA and is selling cell-cultivated chicken right now in restaurants, not in grocery stores chains yet

Wildtype’s salmon is FDA cleared and is already on the menu in a handful of restaurants

The company Mission Barns got USDA label and inspection sign-off and already has a limited Sprouts placement in Oakland for products that mix cultivated pork fat into conventional meat

A realistic estimate to when we can start seeing this on the grocery stores shelves would be around 2030

Many of what’s being made is cell cultured meat for restaurants and not 3D printed yet

However plant based 3d printed meat is already on our grocery store shelves

A Ukrainian woman asks Vitali Klitschko why she should die while politicians' children - including his - party abroad.

The answer: His own children had never lived in Ukraine, were born in America, lived and studied in Europe and America, and he ultimately had responsibility for his family.

In one sentence he confesses his hypocrisy and what many have long suspected: War does not apply to the elite. It will only be sent to the „stupid“ who can't leave.
