Here are a couple of tweets from The Counterspell Group.

There is a lot to unpack in them, but a couple of things jumped out at me first pass.

First, the Tweets:

If we reinterpret Plato’s “Republic” through the lens of an esoteric strategy for oligarchic control:

Class Division as a Control Mechanism: In Plato’s ideal state, society is structured into three classes: the producers (workers), the auxiliaries (soldiers), and the guardians (philosopher-kings). If this is an esoteric message, it could be suggesting that by organizing society into clearly defined groups, an oligarchy could control the narrative and identity of each group. The producers, preoccupied with material needs, would be too busy or uneducated to challenge the system, while the auxiliaries, trained in obedience and bravery, would enforce the status quo. The guardians, or the oligarchs themselves, would maintain their power through intellectual and supposed moral superiority, thus legitimizing their rule.

Democracy as a Controlled Chaos: Plato’s critique of democracy in the “Republic” might be read as an instruction manual on how to manage or manipulate a democratic system. By allowing a semblance of freedom and choice, the populace feels empowered, but true power remains with those who understand and control the system’s underlying mechanics. Democracy, in this view, becomes a facade where citizens believe they have power through voting, but the real control lies in who frames the debates, controls the information, and educates or misleads the populace.

Identity and Information Control: Plato’s emphasis on education and the type of stories allowed in his state could be interpreted as a blueprint for controlling information. By deciding what narratives are culturally acceptable or beneficial, oligarchs could shape the identity of different classes. For instance, certain myths or stories might be promoted to keep the lower classes content with their status, believing in a just world where their position is natural or divinely ordained. Meanwhile, the elite would possess the ‘true’ knowledge, manipulating public perception through controlled information dissemination.

Esoteric vs. Exoteric Teachings: The idea that Plato wrote esoterically means there’s a hidden message for the initiated (the oligarchs) and an apparent message for the uninitiated (the masses).

Democracy, according to this interpretation, might be described as inherently flawed not because it gives too much freedom, but because it can be easily manipulated. The esoteric message could be that by promoting divisive identities (class, profession, even personal virtues like courage or wisdom), the oligarchy ensures the populace remains fragmented, too busy with internal squabbles to unite against the ruling class.
Manipulation Through Philosophy and Education: The philosopher-kings, who are supposed to be the wisest, could represent the oligarchs themselves. Their education in the “forms” or true reality could be Plato’s way of suggesting that those in power should always hold a monopoly on knowledge and truth. By defining what is “good” or “just,” they control the moral landscape, ensuring their actions are always justified by higher knowledge that the common person can’t grasp or challenge.
The Ship of State Analogy: Plato’s analogy of the ship, where the owner (the state) is ignorant, and the sailors (democracy) argue over control, could be seen as a cautionary tale but also a guide. It suggests that in a democracy, the real power lies in convincing the owner (the populace) to let the “knowledgeable” (oligarchs) captain the ship, thereby legitimizing their rule under the guise of expertise or wisdom.

In this reinterpretation, Plato’s “Republic” might not advocate for a just state but could be read as a guide on how to maintain power through subtle manipulations of societal structure, education, and information, under the guise of establishing an ideal state. This perspective would see Plato’s work not as a straightforward political treatise but as a layered text where democracy is a tool for control, not empowerment.

Ok so about that one sentence. Esoteric Vs. Exoteric teachings. When one thinks of Kamala Harris, we may have the quintessential example of esoteric messaging. What sounds like word-salad to most thinking people, can be interpreted by the masses as being some nicety which people can allow themselves to think they understand in their own terms. Strength through joy might be an example, but also, something like imagine a future unencumbered by what has been, is clearly esoteric messaging. Sophisticates in communist double speak know exactly what both these phrases mean.

Moving on to the video:

Please do watch this with a focus.

How do we recognize the enemy in political warfare.

By the time we got a third of the way in, a couple of things jumped out at us.

Once, when we had the opportunity to ask Jordan Peterson a question at his talk at the Ottawa Library about cultural appropriation as a trick of the left to deliberately disenfranchise Western culture in several ways, and pointed out the example of a white woman who taught Yoga for free at Ottawa U and was made, after several years of doing so to the benefit of students, the handicapped and the mentally stressed, to leave because she was “culturally appropriating Hindu Culture,” Peterson responded with that exact quote. Although that was several years ago, it has bothered me steadily since. Likely it was a throw-away answer in place of any real thought as opposed to a dialectic to negate the point. But how interesting is it that in fact, from a heuristic point of view, that is what it is meant to do.

By half way, the concept of heuristics, where we judge the purpose of a thing by its results, reminds us of a Canadian lawyer that constantly raises money from people damaged by the Canadian vaxx mandates, or even the vaxx damaged themselves, and then launches law suits that are quite literally written to fail. Then go forward to claim publicly that these losses, major ones, sone of which are dismissed with prejudice (Chat GPT describes that term thusly: the claim is permanently dismissed and cannot be brought back to court. This decision prevents the plaintiff from refiling the case on the same grounds. The dismissal serves as a final judgment against the plaintiff on that claim, effectively concluding the legal dispute over those specific issues) and then claims to his donators that these are in fact victories, and goes on to raise funds for new claims, or appeals where possible. If one examines this lawyer’s history, we may find in the past he acted on behalf of drug companies and always took left leaning positions in the cases he took. Therefore, using a heuristic approach, we might come to the conclusion that this lawyer is indeed controlled opposition.

Looking at the UN, or as we should know it, the COMINTERN as the enemy:

UN General Assembly passes resolution calling for Jerusalem Old City to be Jew-free

The Palestinian-fronted resolution passed by wide margin, demanding that the Israeli army and Jewish residents evacuate to pre-1949 line within a year.

(Sep. 18, 2024 / JNS)

Jerusalem’s Old City, in addition to Judea and Samaria, must be Judenrein within a year, according to a Palestinian-drafted resolution, which the U.N. General Assembly passed on Wednesday.

The resolution, which passed by a 124-14 margin with 43 abstentions, is meant to give force to a July advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice, which declared Israeli presence to be illegal in any area over the 1949 armistice line.

More than 40 countries sponsored the resolution, which was the first that Palestinians filed after being granted unprecedented privileges, for a non-U.N. member, earlier this year.

The resolution calls on the Israel Defense Forces to withdraw completely from Judea and Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip within 12 months, which means evacuating all Jewish communities beyond the armistice line, including Jerusalem’s Old City.

If the UN can declare that no Jewish people may live in the old city of Jerusalem, then they can declare that any people can lose the right to live anywhere at all. Penguins must vacate the Antarctic. If you can conjure a logic that demands a total and unrestricted migration for all the peoples of the world to freely move to any nation they want, meaning Western nations, and that the media must write favourably on this plan, while simultaneously claiming that Jewish people have no right to the old city of Jerusalem, then they can conjure up an entire grimoire on why you cannot remain wherever it is you are.

And of course, the UN plan to use hate-speech as a way of censoring the people of the world who oppose communist and authoritarian narratives and diktats.

As an afterthought, there are a lot of local laws being put into place in Western nations now to make them subservient to the UN resolutions and compacts etc. As well as from their sub-departments like the WHO. Canada is currently working on passing at least three laws that we know of, each of which signals a total deconstruction of a fundamental of individualism and liberty, and most Canadians haven’t got a clue. We have written on all of these extensively here.

But what the hell:

Bills C-63 and C-637

Bill C-4

Bill C-293. A bill which would make Canada subservient to the new EU-UN-WHO Pandemic diktat. For those who have not watched the Dutch TV show segment on this issue, please do so
