Substack Sabbatical

Substack Sabbatical: Letters from Vienna deserves a well-earned Holiday
Letters from Vienna will be pausing for a while
Dear Mr. Markker,
I regret to inform you that Letters from Vienna will be enjoying a “Substack Sabbatical” in the near future due to the general uncertainty surrounding the issue of “Censorship”. The threat of censorship hangs like a sword of Damocles above Substack and if it should fall: Substack will be fatally wounded. To avoid any unpleasantness, I’ve decided to “bow out gracefully”, if only for the time being. Apart from which: I sincerely think I’ve said most of what I have to say (there is nothing worse than becoming a “pub bore”). It was fun while it lasted and it has proved extremely useful in ordering my thoughts. For the time being my letters shall remain online and I’d encourage you to read them all. I’d also suggest you read my books on Gaza and my literary work, which can be found on epubi[1] and Smashwords[2].
The fact that nobody has time to do research is hardly surprising; had I not inherited a considerable sum of money with which I could buy an awful lot books, I couldn’t have found out all the things I did; a well-stocked library is essential! And, I must add: I’m grateful at having studied at a superb university with excellent minds, most notably: Owen Dudley Edwards and Nicholas Phillipson. My sister’s contribution to my “enlightenment” must also be noted: she taught me a thing or two and helped start the ball rolling with my enquiries.
One of the most important ideas of our age (and indeed of the last century) has been: Synanarchism (“against anarchy”) and is the core of Marxism, Communism, Socialism, Fascism, Nazism, Neo-liberalism, Neo-Feudalism etc. It is so simple as to be pure genius: the masses are to be worked to death and because they work so hard they have no time for reflection or even thought. Thus, they’re unable to consider their lamentable condition and incapable of seeing the crimes perpetrated against them by psychopathic, kleptocratic, parasitic oligarchs (the “useless eaters”). This is the root cause of the so-called “Bullshit Job” made famous by the late, great David Graeber, whose absence is to be much lamented.
You write: “I am reading both yours and Emanuel’s posts and learning so much. I have the time now, as retired, to do so but the working population are working longer or harder to make ends meet so any spare time is relaxation and recuperation, not reading about history or even current affairs. Most I know, did what was expected, stay home, mask up (me too, early days) then rolled up their sleeves for various reasons, whether mandated for work, fear of death, travel purposes, etc. The majority have no idea still that they were lied to from day one and even though booster rates down, so some recognition of not all is well, they believe we are back to normal now, not as I see it as a lull before the next assault. How do you make them aware and what can people do to stop it? Most would say nothing can, so why inform them of their soon to be Neo-feudal serfdom, technocratic future? Those that live long enough from the jabs, that is. Michael, the state of Israel has the tech guys from all over the place to cause the cyber-attacks which Schwab has said to happen to cause more misery. Mackinder Cloverleaf, Greater Israel? Venetians, stemming from Pharisee, now spread globally? Three years ago, I believed what the BBC news told me and by some random click to a website then more clicks, did I learn of the history of allopathic medicine, natural medicine, and my dive into geopolitics which I am discovering to be cinema blockbusters, but totally devastating at the same time. Does anyone get out of this Pike plan? How?”
How do you make them aware and what can people do to stop it?
The most important thing, in my humble opinion, is to understand that the truth comes as an extremely disagreeable and unwelcome shock to most people and one cannot force it down anybody’s throat. Many will resist to the bitter end and the vast majority are weak, ignorant, fanatical conformists who hate and resent anyone who tells the truth. Human weakness and our limitations must be taken into account. This is why “preaching” is pointless. Some will be curious: the majority not. Sooner or later enough people will be so rattled that they’ll start to ask questions. For the vast majority: “enlightenment” will come too late; they’ve already been poisoned and are doomed. There’s nothing that can be done about this. The survivors, the “enlightened” on the other hand will learn that one cannot trust the state and one needs to organise on a local, democratic and “anarchic” (in a Tolstoyan, communal fashion) level. Above all else: one has to start working on the land once more (urban living will be out).
Most would say nothing can, so why inform them of their soon to be Neo-feudal serfdom, technocratic future?
Most went into the gas-chambers because they didn’t realise they were gas chambers. Most took the jab because they didn’t realise that they were poison. Yet, there have been signs before this. Only a lunatic or a fool would believe the “magic bullet theory” of the JFK assassination conspiracy or that two planes could destroy five buildings on 9/11. If people haven’t thought before now: it’s probably too late: they’ve had the jab and are a goner. Nevertheless, it’s important to know this too: one lives differently if one knows one’s time is short.
Does anyone get out of this Pike plan? How?
The Pike plan will fail because we are fundamentally different from bees: we are spiritual beings, guided by our fantasy (which is why many adore both art and religion) and reason (which is why so many read philosophy) who are deeply attached to freedom, justice and truth. There is simply too much innate goodness, noble selflessness and love around for humanity to die. Apart from which: not enough have gone along (or only in a limited fashion) with this genocidal, suicidal, self-destructive agenda. The oligarchs have already failed and they know it, which is why their measures will get increasingly desperate.
Pepe Escobar recently said that what we need now is: Taoism, Buddhism and Stoicism. Above all: we have to get acquainted with the notion of “flux”. It would be wise and prudent on our part to take up a copy of the “Tao Te Ching” (The Classic of the Way and its Power), “The Tibetan Book of the Dead” and “The Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius once more.
