It’s a ridiculous, no good, stupid, rotten meme.
You know, the idea that every horrible move that Precedent Trump ever made (like appointing John Bolton or launching Operation Warp Speed) was actually some super-complicated three-dimensional chess move intended to accomplish the exact opposite of what he was actually doing? (“You don’t understand, man! He’s appointing Gina “CIA Torture” Haspel because he wants to expose her role in CIA torture!”)
Yeah, that meme.
Well, as much as “Trump the 3D chess master” represented the apotheosis of Hopium for the Trump Train crowd (cf. The Babylon Bee‘s spot-on satirical headline from January 20, 2021: “Republican Starting To Think Trump Might Not Pull Off A Last-Minute 4D Chess Move“), the idea of three-dimensional chess itself is not without merit. After all, I employed it in 2013 to discuss the reality of “China and the New World Order” and used it again in 2014 to discuss the true nature of the Global Chessboard. (Don’t blame me for launching the meme, though! The earliest reference I could find was a 2010 clip of Cenk Uyghur discussing liberal defenses of Barack Obama.)
So in defense of this much-abused idea, allow me to present to you a beginner’s guide outlining How To Play 3D Chess.

by James Corbett It’s a ridiculous, no good, stupid, rotten meme.

So in defense of this much-abused idea, allow me to present to you a beginner’s guide outlining How To Play 3D Chess. 2D Chess vs. 3D Chess
We all know how to play regular old run-of-the-mill 2D chess, right? Well, if not, here’s your crash course. Long story short: Each player controls a set of sixteen pieces, one white and one black. Each piece can move in certain, proscribed ways around the chessboard—64 squares laid out in an 8×8 grid—and can capture the other side’s pieces by moving to a square that is occupied by an opponent. The goal is to “checkmate” the king of the opposite side by forcing him into a situation where he is unable to move without being captured. Sadly for any chess aficionados in the crowd, though, we are not here today to talk about the game of chess. We are here to talk about chess as it is often employed by the globalist jet set: as a metaphor for geopolitical struggle. After all, just as in chess, the Machiavellian strategists of the global order like to imagine themselves moving pawns around the global chessboard in order to gain control of this or that square and, eventually, to checkmate their opponents. That chess is just a metaphor for geopolitics and that chess strategy bears more than a passing resemblance to geopolitical strategy is, after all, the central conceit of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1997 work, The Grand Chessboard. In that book, Brzezinski writes at length about the “oddly shaped Eurasian chessboard” and the moves that the American empire should be making on that board to insure its continuing global hegemony. Thus, Russia, for instance, “remains a player” in the game for Eurasia “even though it has lost some of its ‘pieces,’ as well as some key spaces on the Eurasian chessboard.” The chess analogy becomes even more apparent in times of war. Think of the military planners huddled around a battlefield map like a chess master huddled over the board, observing the pieces in play and deciding where to deploy their forces next. Even in the current war against the “invisible enemy” of coronavirus, one gets the sense that Bill Gates believes himself to be a chess grandmaster moving the pawns around his global chessboard to “prevent the next pandemic,” as in this recent creepy videos. But that’s 2D chess. Now let’s consider 3D chess. Although you might think of three-dimensional chess as a fictional game concocted by the Star Trek writers, 3D variants of the classic chessboard have existed since Lionel Kieseritzky developed his 8x8x8 cubic chess board in 1851. Different 3D chess variants have been developed in the intervening century and a half, but they generally involve the introduction of playing surfaces “above” the regular, two-dimensional chessboard and they extend the rules of movement for each piece into the third dimension so they can “jump” up and “fall” down to the other boards. So if 2D chess has obvious utility as a metaphor for geopolitics, how about 3D chess? Can we learn something about how the geopolitical world really functions by looking at it from a 3D perspective? 2D Politics vs. 3D Politics
Geopolitics is like chess. The world (mis)leaders are the players, moving their pieces (people, resources, military forces) around the board (the world) in order to checkmate their opponent (their geopolitical foe). So far, so straightforward. But here’s where things get tricky. What if a player thought they were playing two-dimensional chess when in fact they were playing three-dimensional chess? If for some reason they could only see the 2D chessboard, you can imagine how shocked they would be to see pieces dropping onto the board seemingly out of nowhere and taking control of squares. Where did that piece come from? Who’s controlling it? Why did it appear there? What is its mission? . . . And is it just me, or is that a white piece that’s been painted black? To say that this scenario would be confusing for a 2D player is an understatement. It would, in fact, mean that some moves and events that happen in the game would be completely incomprehensible to those solely focused on the 2D match. Now, what if this were the correct way to envision geopolitics? Not as a regular 2D match between nation-state opponents, but as a 3D game where nation-states compete on the regular board while shadowy forces command extra pieces that appear from some unseen board and work toward goals that are not immediately apparent? Does that sound far-fetched? Well, until just a few years ago the existence of a “deep state” was itself considered to be an outlandish conspiracy theory, something so ridiculous that it was not to be countenanced in polite, mainstream conversation (the occasional Bill Moyers documentary notwithstanding). But since the mainstreaming of the shadow government began in earnest several years ago, the term “deep state” has entered into the popular lexicon. Even the term “deep state” belies an understanding of the extra-dimensionality of this political entity; it is not operating on the regular plane of politics, but somewhere “deeper,” below surface appearances. With the 3D chess metaphor at our disposal, then, we are better situated to understand some of the moves that the deep state is making on the “grand chessboard.” Take the Cold War. From the 2D perspective, the narrative is straightforward enough: the USA controlled the white pieces, the Soviets controlled the black pieces, and these two well-matched opponents fought over the grand chessboard for decades—mostly in Afghanistan and Vietnam and other “peripheral” areas of the board—before the game became too expensive and the Soviet team resigned. But this perspective comes up short in describing the actual events of the 20th century. Why did the West prop up the Soviets with technology transfers, not just in the early stages of the Bolshevik Revolution but right through the heart of the Cold War? Why did the American government build up the Soviet threat, including aiding the Soviets in the development of nuclear weapons, through the lend-lease program? Why did American corporations provide the means for the creation of the Soviet war machine? Weren’t they mortal enemies? But what seems baffling from a two-dimensional perspective—where “Team USA” is facing off against “Team Soviet” for control of the grand chessboard—becomes almost embarrassingly simple if we take account of the third dimension of the game. In the case of the Cold War, that third dimension was occupied by a clique of wealthy oligarchs who wielded their wealth and power to drop chess pieces on the board at will in order to prolong a conflict here or to end a conflict there. These 3D players could manipulate the 2D game at their will, brandishing the epithet “conspiracy theorist” to deride anyone who dared look beyond the second dimension to explain the moves being made on the board. The parallels to any number of events from recent years should be obvious by now. Take the phenomenon of false flag terror, including the 9/11 attack, which may seem confusing at first glance. How could Al Qaeda go from a USA ally during the Soviet-Afghan war to a mortal enemy in 2001 and back to an ally in the 2010s? How did a ragtag band of outcasts in Afghanistan coordinate the most sophisticated penetration of the air defenses of the world’s largest superpower—not once or twice but four times on a single day? Why did America’s defenses seemingly stand down despite numerous indicators that an attack was being prepared? Once again, what seems baffling from the 2D point of view makes sense if we think from a three-dimensional perspective, understanding that hidden forces (a “deep state,” if you will) were able to control elements of both the American government and the Al Qaeda threat. Or take the neo-Cold War that is shaping up between China and the US. If China is a mortal threat to the US and its allies, why have they spent the last three decades consciously building up China’s manufacturing base and technological capabilities? Why have they assisted China in its rise as an economic and geopolitical power? Why have they provided the military technologies that are now being touted as an existential threat and a reason for (yet another) arms buildup? Here, yet again, we find that the traditional 2D explanation of the “Team USA” vs. “Team China” chess match falls short, whereas an understanding that there are 3D players manipulating both teams for their own ends solves many of these seemingly insoluble puzzles. But if the 2D game is a manipulated contest that is being played out to distract the public from the real game, we are confronted with two fundamental questions: who are these hidden players and what is the end goal of their 3D chess match? The Endgame
The “real” chess game, then, is not the one we see taking place on the 2D board. It is the 3D chess game that encompasses the 2D game and all the other levels where the deep state(s) are operating. But there’s something we haven’t considered yet: motives and methods. What is the goal of these 3D chess masters? And how do they go about winning a game of 3D chess? If we consider each of the conflicts that we have touched upon thus far (the Cold War, 9/11, the neo-Cold War with China) and the many more “chess matches” we haven’t mentioned (WWI, WWII, the OKC bombing, big oil environmentalism, the corona crisis . . . ), we could work out in each case who the 2D players are, what their goals might be, and how that particular game is manipulated by 3D players. In some sense, this is the task I’ve been engaged in for 14 years here at The Corbett Report. But to cut to the chase, one would be hard-pressed to state the nature of the 3D geopolitical game any more succinctly than Antony Sutton. When asked to explain why, precisely, the Wall Street interests and other 3D chess players would want to build up the Soviet threat during the Cold War, Sutton answered:
This is it in a nutshell. The wealthy interests do not consider themselves a member of “Team USA” or “Team China” or any of the other two-dimensional constructs that the public has been taught to identify with. Instead, they are wielding their considerable wealth and power to bring about a truly global system of control. That system is not predicated on “Team USA” conquering the chess board or “Team China” conquering the chess board or any other final position that we would identify as the end of the two-dimensional chess game. The goal of their 3D game is to control the entire board. Every square. Every piece. All of it. To be able to completely dictate what happens on that worldwide board at all times. Note that if this is indeed the goal of the three-dimensional chess game, then it doesn’t matter if the “white team” ever actually beats the “black team” or vice versa. In fact, it might be in the interest of the 3D chess masters to keep the 2D game going forever, as a way of distracting everyone from the fact that the entire 2D board itself has been taken over by unseen players. This is the vision of Nineteen Eighty-Four, for example, where the world is seemingly divided into three super-states (Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia) that are constantly shifting between permutations of enemy and ally. In the end, not even Outer Party members like Winston Smith know if these enemies really exist, or if they are all part of a single totalitarian government, or if the bombs raining down on Oceania are in fact being dropped by the Oceanian government as a way of keeping its own people in fear. In chess, the “endgame” refers to the final stage of a chess match, when only a few pieces remain on the board and one player is closing in on a checkmate of his opponent. If the quest for world government is the real goal of these 3D chess players, then is it possible to deny that we are in the endgame of this match? Seemingly every nation in the world has marched in lockstep with the erection of the biosecurity state, showing that once-neglected bodies like the World Health Organization wield—through the International Health Regulations and other treaties carefully laid out over the course of the past few decades—enormous power over the seemingly sovereign governments that subscribe to them. The World Economic Forum is busy preparing the public via The Great Reset for the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution and the plunge into the transhuman dystopia. The drive for a global tax grid has just come one step closer to reality, thanks to ex-Fed chair and current US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Surely the drive for truly global control of the human population has never been more eminent or more imminent. But if we are indeed in the endgame for this quest for total control of the grand chessboard, what comes next? Checkmate?
If we extend the 3D chess analogy to its logical conclusion, we finally understand that the real game is not a match between “Team USA” vs. “Team China” or “Team Good Guys” vs. “Team Terrorist” or any other such simplistic, two-dimensional conflict. It is instead a game pitting the largely unseen 3D chess players against the rest of humanity. And, given the technology for altering populations at the genomic level that is coming into view, if we lose this match, we stand to lose our humanity altogether. In chess, one player “checkmates” the other by driving his opponent’s king into a position from which he cannot move without being attacked. But this is not the only way that a chess match can end. A stalemate or other type of draw can result when neither side is able to successfully checkmate the other. Games can also end when one player, realizing that he cannot escape an eventual checkmate, resigns the match. But none of these outcomes are acceptable in this game of 3D chess. A checkmate, representing the victory of one 2D side over another, merely leads to the formation of a new order and the beginning of a new 2D game. If we imagined World War II as a match between “Team Axis” and “Team Allies,” for example, then the victory of Team Allies in 1945 only set the board for a new match. That match, the Cold War, was—as we have already seen—just another 2D contest manipulated and controlled by the 3D forces. Likewise, a draw is no victory for those interested in actually defeating their 3D opponents. A stalemate on the traditional 2D chess board only prolongs the game—or invites yet another reset of the board. And, as noted above, the 3D players do not care if the 2D game ever finishes. They can gain control of the board regardless of whether the 2D game is still in play or not. A resignation is obviously not acceptable. Sure, we could just give up, eke out some worthless existence behind the bars of the prison planet that is locking us up. But if and of you were inclined to resign, you wouldn’t be here reading these words in the first place. No, the answer to how to win this 2D chess match against the 3D players is clearly not to be found within the confines and the rules of the 2D chess match at all. In fact, at this point it should be apparent that there is no way to win this rigged, manipulated game at all. The 3D players have an unreasonably unfair advantage. And, although we can garner glimpses of the 3D team and the chess pieces at their disposal, a wall of classification and secrecy still shrouds their movements to the point where we can only infer or guess at their abilities to influence the 2D board. Finally, we are ready to ask the most important question of all: why are we playing this fixed game in the first place? Why are we investing our time, our energy, our resources, our very lives on a rigged game where fake teams are playing meaningless contests against fictitious enemies, all the while being manipulated by unseen forces? Why does Joe Sixpack or Sayuri Sumomom or Vladimir Vodkadrinker or Frederico Footballer care what “Team USA” or “Team Japan” or “Team Russia” or “Team Italy” or any of these other 2D chess teams are doing on what we are constantly told is “a grand chessboard?” What if there is no chessboard? What if there are only people, interacting with each other as they see fit? As human beings. Not engaged in some struggle for control of this or that square of some fictitious playing field, but trying to create a better world for themselves and their family? What if we removed our participation from the game? What if we started to build our own economy separate from the one that has been erected around us, one in which free human beings interact in voluntary exchange with anyone they want, regardless of what “square” on the chessboard they hail from or what “team” they supposedly “belong” to? What if we refused to be pawns in the game of the would-be chess masters? The problem of playing 2D chess against the unseen 3D chess masters is solved when we stop playing their silly game at all. As has been observed before: Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. |

Great piece, James. This is so well written with step-by-step logic and nice flow from one point to another. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this just from a literary perspective.
The power of inaction is strong. Like you say, it’s not productive or useful to give our energy and attention to the games that wealthy interests bent on controlling free humanity have set up for us. All of the energy used flailing around in their game can be shifted and applied toward creating a world we want to live in. If everyone did that, great change would happen. As I was scrolling a YouTube comment section the other day I came across a quote that jumped out at me, so I wrote it down:
“Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create”
– Roy T. Bennett
James, yes unbelievably well-written. Bravo!
Right you are! Gauntlett33
I can’t help but chuckle to myself, because it is so “out of the norm”, but Corbett Report Members can actually read!
This is such a rare occurrence on the ‘normal’ public chessboards.
Exactly! Be a Creator and create your own reality!
Its a pleasant idea that we could interact ONLY as individuals but that will never happen because while we have a personal identity people need to posses a group identity… too much individualism has left people easy prey for globalists but On the other hand too much group identity leaves you as soulless robot
Dr Dutton and his malevolent cat on why Post modernists dont have souls 😉
https://www.bitchute.com/video/t3kgDH0zgZXH/
Lol… He cracks me up too.
On the other hand… we could argue the cat used its animal instincts to sense the rant coming and fled?
And there you have the dilemma. The US is characterized by a super/hyper individualism, ‘American Exceptionalism’, and crass consumerism.
And yes, Bernays gave America, along with Madison Ave., its unique special quality that simply does not exist.
The image of Americans as rational, little acquisitive machines resounds.
This is now the historical dilemma. How to integrate self in society and society into self.
But when you tell this to libertarians or promoters of insipid individualism you run head long into: “Collectivism is bad!”, as everyone fights for the lifeboats on the Titanic.
However, one must understand this is wholly Western civilization, and does not apply to many places in the world

“…The image of Americans as rational, little acquisitive machines resounds……..However, one must understand this is wholly Western civilization, and does not apply to many places in the world…”
Maybe I am misunderstanding your point but are you saying Americans are SPECIALLY acquisitive?
I think they just have had more chance to BE so rather then having any special greed.
Where in the world are people NOT greedy and acquisitive?
serious question,I have generally found people in all places to be the same.
4D! 3D has been played for years ! On the table, and on computers !

Thank you for this one, I needed it today.
I do have a question about politics. Can’t some politicians make achieving the global great reset easier and faster than others?
This article was very thought provoking. Thanks.
I do wonder what their motive is. I don’t understand why someone would pursue those goals because it seems pointless and empty.
I think one of the goals they have is to achieve immortality and also to eliminate a large percent of the population so they can have the planet for themselves.
I just don’t think that is achievable. Also if the population decreases below a certain level humanity will become extinct. They won’t have anyone to breed with and genetic manipulation is poorly understood.
Also, the sun will die eventually. That end is unstoppable. How can life exist without the sun? They would have to find a habitable planet and that seems unlikely if they spend all of their time with these pointless games.
If we could work together we could create a better world and even develop technologies that could allow exploration of space and other worlds where we may be able to find a habitable planet where we could continue and where other species could continue. Or we can realize that time and moments are precious, priceless and enjoy each one of them, realizing that they are limited. What if life on the earthly plane is supposed to be finite?
cu.h.j
“..I don’t understand why someone would pursue those goals because it seems pointless and empty…”
The people doing most of these things consider ‘power’ their only judge -they think that ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ are “the wishes of the strong” rather then objective things that are true.
That is temporarily liberating because you can do anything you like and nothing can say “no” your appetites (which then grow bigger then any ability to satisfy them) and you get the visible psychopathic gimme-ism.
At some point after that you realize that nothing actually matters (everything is right or wrong because YOU say so, after all…so it all means nothing) and you get to the much WORSE nihilism and some kind of death wish.
I’m not sure I would agree on this. The people on the top (the “elite”, the priest class, lizard people, whatever) know very well what they are doing is not “right” but rely on the fact that people will acquiesce. And they do. That puts things into a different perspective.
As far as motivation goes, I don’t think they need much more than pure hatred for the unthinking masses. Walking among these mask wearing fear riding dolts who have provably never lived a day ib their lives makes me see the picture a bit better and understand what motivates them. Pure hatred and disdain.
Not that I share the feeling, mind you, but the year is still young.
mkey
I disagree because I think they believe themselves to be either following a “higher” morality then us or else have given up on the idea of a ‘real’ morality thats always true.
Look at how much the hate anyone who has an objective sense of right or wrong…’they’ do their best to push that update onto the population even when it hurts THEM
If we could work together we could create a better world and even develop technologies that could allow exploration of space and other worlds where we may be able to find a habitable planet where we could continue and where other species could continue.
That is the key! But the lone American can’t seem to see it through the blinders of alienation.
“..But the lone American can’t seem to see it through the blinders of alienation…”
Somewhat true, but that culture is a deliberate creation…its so much easier to rule over people who are like that.
Sad to say I am reliably informed by people I know that China is rapidly becoming exactly the same kind of culture, and I read in Culture Wars magazine that Indians are being funneled into high rise apartments as part of the same type of social engineering as was used in the US.
The unabombers manifesto was right on the mark when he said that modern culture can not tolerate differences of identity, behavior or personality beyond cosmetic ones.
We don’t need better technologies to create a better world nor do we need booster rockets to get there. There’s a planet right beneath our feet and no amount of technology will teach us how to appreciate it.
Nor will techonology allows us to save it. The planet does need saving, the planet is fine.
The world, as you say, does need improvement. But technology will not cut it.
Everything we really need to know is right there in the open.

Great analysis James:
Are the people playing 3D chess playing against each other or are they all on the same team? That way everybody wins and it makes the game foolproof.
hbihun
True…they often are
Sometimes they are part of the same family… I ‘heard’ (did not dig into it) that the Melons have funded both sides of the abortion thing in the US for decades.
The Bolshevik and communist agitators were mostly jewish…. while the Neo-con’s are pretty much the offspring of Trotsky-ite jews.
Same thing looking at how much money went FROM the western Allies into Hitlers Germany and how much capital was flowing OUT at the end of the war thru those same banks and how the same people that worked or the nazis ended up running german banking and industry

shhhhhhh you’re not allowed to think or say that! It’s racist … funny how all roads lead to Babylon though, right? What I just cannot grasp is how all the Biblical signs are aligning and to the degree and frequency they are … almost as if the prophecy was written as a grand theatrical script??? Either way this popcorn sure is gonna suck without butter
Thanks for a neat summary of the geopolitical game! So much madness every day, so easy to forget Sutton’s exceptional work and that it’s proven beyond doubt that it’s impossible to win by playing the elite’s game.
For entertainment, I hope for an explanation of the chess that Trump plays. The 5D version that only the mastermind Alex Jones can decipher for us mortals? … 🙂
Stop playing the game.
It is a nice thought because it makes us think we have some degree of control over our life and the way the world evolves. But it is really possible? It might be, if all of the sudden 7 billion people would wake up and and stop feeding the beast but what power has a single individual or even a large group to succeed?
Reality is that the opposition to the 3D grand-master is either too small so to be ignored, or, when it becomes too big, it get squashed. It is hard to win a war when one side has slingshots and the other has nukes and no moral restrain to use them.
One hope I have is that the game is getting so complex (maybe we are over 3D by now) that the grand-master will make a serious mistake and reveal itself to the masses. At that point, the pawns who are self-aware will be able to turn themselves into something new and will be able to turn the game around. Until then, it is a game of survival, hoping the nukes do not drop.
Only an organized, self-actualized and conscious working class, unemployed, precarious workers and those who do not work at all due to no jobs can change society for the better. If the Grand master, as you say, and there really is no one Grand master, it is a gaggle of international plutocrats, makes an error it will not be in our favor. Consciousness needs to change and this happens through actual organized political struggle.

Such a working class would end up run by the same kind of scum people as run things now as long as they have a materialist worldview.
Great article.
If anybody reading this has heard of The Game, then you just lost. Those who have never heard of The Game you have just lost too.
The folk story about how The Game started was when a group of lads missed their last train home and had no option but to wait at the platform for the first train in the morning.
It was then that they came up with an idea that when anybody in the group thought about the train, they lost The Game. So as soon as you think about The Game you lose and you must mention to someone else that you lost, hence forcing that person to lose and so on. You are winning when you don’t think of The Game.
It’s actually pretty popular, I know this because I lost the game in a restaurant one evening and the overhearing my loss, someone from the table next to me gasped ‘damn it, it’s been years since I lost’.
I would hope that every time I get thinking about their 3D chess game I will feel like I lose. Every time I do something not part of that game I win. I won today when I didn’t wear my mask today in the shop. I’m always loosing that game but want to lose less and less.
I also thought of a sketch where a group of sweaty suited men are huffing and puffing around this chess board, for days on end it gets so complicated and messy with pieces, IOU’s and cash strewn all over the place. Until one night after they have gone the cleaning lady packs away the game rolling her eyes.
The men obviously aghast when they return slowly find themselves dancing around in the space where the chess board used to be.
It really is a simple as walking away from the game but that’s not to say it’s easy.
Great comment. Confusing simple for easy is the easiest mistake to make. However, would realizing you are losing (and therefore playing) the game because you realized someone else is playing (and therefore losing) the game really constitute losing the game? Up to the point you realize you are playing the game you are certainly losing it, but upon becoming aware of it, you win by quitting it
A bit too late in the day on my end for these mental gymnastics.
I think so. Realising you are playing is one way of winning.
Can you observe the game from afar without being enticed back in? Im feeling like I’m moving a few pieces around randomly giving the illusion that I’m playing, but not wanting to be there and longing for a different activity altogether.
A pretty good soft sell. This guy should deal used cars and leave them kids alone.

…Sometimes the only winning move is not to play.
By the way, as James Corbett references, that brief Bill Gates video of moving the human chess pieces is a “creepy video”.
(30 seconds)
https://youtu.be/OJtblo12UxI?t=64
The fact that he went to that much effort to buy those pieces and get all the lighting just right and all of the production value creeps me out as well.
I Know I am not the only one who thought of this scene in spaceballs…maybe those were from his own collection
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGoXyXiwOBg
The Amrabrowitch “Artist” as a VR demon was a way creepier advert IMO.
That made me laugh out loud. That is totally Gates playing with his action figure characters
You think he did any of those things himself? I doubt that, he must have half a dozen assitants to do his bidding and three dozen sycophants to soothe his stress.
Just found this info on Michael Tellinger “one small town” who seems to be grass-rooting what James proposed above…… https://michaeltellinger.com/ubuntu/ MOST INTERESTING…..would love to hear James interview him……
“Our scientists tell us that there are three things we must do to stay safe…”
Yes, the monolithic body of SCIENTISTS that are all in agreement. Praise be to science.
That video is deeply sickening. This is the new version of conditioning to compliment the conditioning done by TSA screening to get those big bad terrorists.
LAUSD to Launch Daily Pass Health Check System. Here’s How It Works
https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/coronavirus/southern-california-coronavirus/lausd-daily-pass-health-check-system-schools-education/2532697/
EXCERPTS:
The Los Angeles Unified School District announced Monday the launch of Daily Pass, the first comprehensive system in the nation that coordinates health checks, COVID-19 tests and vaccinations in one online tool.
Daily Pass generates a unique QR code for each student and staff member, and that code authorizes entry to a specific LAUSD location for that day only — as long as the individual receives a negative test result for COVID, shows no symptoms and has a temperature under 100 degrees, the district said.
Upon the individual’s arrival to a campus, their QR code is scanned by a district school-site leader, who takes the individual’s temperature.
“The Daily Pass sets the highest standard possible for school safety,” said LAUSD Superintendent Austin Beutner. “MERV-13 upgraded air filters in every school, COVID testing for all students and staff at least every week and now the Daily Pass — Los Angeles Unified is proud to lead the nation in creating the safest possible school environment.”
LA Unified’s school-based vaccination program will also use Daily Pass to register and schedule appointments, track vaccines in stock, perform check-in and data capture at time of appointment, sort high-risk individuals, offer waitlists to low-risk individuals and dashboards to view data, among other features, the district said.
All of this information is shared with the appropriate authorities.
Hi there,
I work in health care and have been worried about this too. So far it’s optional but they sure “encourage” us to get it. It’s not a policy though.
I don’t think they can legally require (yet) an experimental drug, it’s still investigational at this point, both mRNA and the adenovirus Johnson and Jonson vaccine that just rolled out here in the US.
These are emergency use authorized drugs, not FDA approved and I think that’s illegal or else they would have required them already.
I also think there are legal issues around the mechanism of action of these drugs, since they are injecting genetic material and our own cells are producing the antigen. That’s not a traditional vaccine as it’s defined. I’m not comfortable taking that kind of genetic substance and if my employer tried to force me, I would sue them.
I’m trying to find an attorney I can have on retainer just in case. There are exemptions one of them is religious. To me genetic modification could be against someone’s religion.
If I were you I would look into legal ways to get out of it. I’m currently looking at that just in case.
There are also more traditional vaccines in the pipeline, if you’re not opposed to vaccines in general. The main issue for me is that these aren’t really vaccines at all and secondly, I don’t want to be taking excess chemicals on a regular basis that are completely unnecessary.
If you find an attorney, or any additional information, please post it.
If you haven’t read this article, now would be a good time.

Great food for thought James.
“Take the phenomenon of false flag terror, including the 9/11 attack, which may seem confusing at first glance…
Once again, what seems baffling from the 2D point of view makes sense if we think from a three-dimensional perspective, understanding that hidden forces (a “deep state,” if you will) were able to control elements of both the American government and the Al Qaeda threat.”
You lost me here though.
After years of leaving no stone unturned studying the events of 9/11
I thought it was obvious that there never was an “Al Qaeda threat”.
There’s no time for stone turning … Orangeman vs. Zombie Table, but at least they aren’t Barry & BIG Mike! … but what about Retard Iran Contra son?! … LITERALLY NOTHING is real, The World is a BIG CRIME SCENE and We The People of Planet Earth deserve better! So how? Money isn’t real … what else?

Indeed James, and as always your “Conspiracy Theory”(ist) Anarchist/Athiest arse is and always will be a true patriotic hero to humanity, the ONLY way to stop this insanity is to K1LL YOUR MASTERS … and how do we do that TRVsauce?!?!?

As for my Student Loans. Well, they’re never getting that $$$ either! Why is it that I, a Biochemist/Accountant 3x College Loser #dontgotoschoolkids should be struggling after playing the game and being a “good” slave? Right, I mean I did it … I gradiated so now I can win, right? hahahaha … no slave you get DEBT SLAVERY until you die!
Well I choose to NO LONGER play by the rules that they seem to neglect with such a lack of integrity. This evokes a meme I saw today “Trusting Bill Gates with your healthcare is like trusting Jeffery Epstein with watching your daughter.” Too true … it is long overdue to rally the Karen Soccer moms and the power of their PTAs and have them say NO to education and their mind control and involvement ot the BG/MG foundation, et. al.
They can take their “New Normal” and shove it up their ass!
That’s nice. In my failed state there isn’t such a thing as “personal bancrupcy”. Companies can do it, of course, and they do it; some entrepreneurs quite often, it can be very profitable.
We also have it in “law” that one may not receive his monthly pittance but on his bank account. By law you actually may receive your paycheck any way you can agree with the other party, but a special has been instituted whereby everyone who would like to earn a living has to have a bank account from which any and all funds may be lifted without a prior notice. If one would get in collision with the law or the “law”.

Never been a chess player, bridge either. Somehow games of manipulation. But the analogy used here helps me explain why. Simple comparison of a complicated situation here and now. Wish I knew better how to make it happen. But in my life the one thing I’ve learned is there are no quick fixes, magic bullets per say. Stay the course, do what you possibly can, and keep the course. Once a person is aware, there is no turning back.

“Stay home, save lives” was a pure lie. Remove the following illegal, non-scientific and non-sanitary measures : lockdown, mandatory face masks for healthy subjects, social distancing of one or two meters. The lockdown not only killed many people but also destroyed physical and mental health, economy, education and other aspects of life. The natural history of the virus [the coronavirus] is not influenced by social measures [lockdown, face masks, closure of restaurants, curfew. When the state knows best and violates human rights, we are on a dangerous course. Exclude your experts and advisers who have links or conflicts of interest with pharmaceutical companies. Stop the vaccination campaigns and refuse the scam of the pseudo-health passport which is in reality a politico-commercial project……WISDOM FROM BUCKY FULLER….”YOU NEVER CHANGE THINGS BY FIGHTING THE EXISTING REALITY.

Texas Ends Covid Mask Mandate, Lifts All Anti-Virus Restrictions, Allows All Businesses To Reopen
(Brief video in article)
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/texas-governor-ends-mask-mandate-lifts-anti-virus-restrictions
EXCERPTS
…Effective March 10, all businesses will be allowed to open at 100% of capacity, Abbott said during a media briefing in Lubbock on Tuesday 3/2/21. His executive order allows county judges to reinstate anti-virus rules should hospitalizations surge.
“Too many Texans have been sidelined from employment opportunities; too many small-business owners have struggled to pay their bills,” the Republican governor said. “It is now time to open Texas 100%.”…
…Abbott’s anti-pandemic measures had drawn the ire of his conservative electoral base, which saw them as government overreach, and may have crushed any presidential aspirations he harbored. Indeed, Abbott received 0% of the vote in a presidential straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference this past weekend according to Bloomberg…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My notes:
Texas is not the first state to lift its statewide mandates on masking.
(Per AARP) The following states also do not have face mask orders in place:
Alaska Arizona Florida Georgia Idaho Iowa Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska North Dakota Oklahoma South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee
Gov. Abbott first announced the statewide mask mandate on July 2, meaning Texans were required to wear masks in public for a total of about eight months during the pandemic, which began in the state in March 2020.
“For a year now, Texans have wrestled with COVID and they have learned best how to conduct their own lives,”
Abbott said on Tuesday.
“For example, if businesses want to limit capacity or implement additional safety protocols, they have the right to do so – it is their business, and they get to choose to operate their business the way they want to. At this time, however, people and businesses don’t need the State telling them how to operate.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe now, I won’t be the only person not wearing a mask when I go to stores.
I’m sure that I will see some silliness…what’s the difference if people stop wearing the mask before March 10th? It is not like March the 10th is the magic day that Covid doesn’t spread due to masks. I’m sure there will be those “obedient virtuous people” who will wait until March 10th to take their masks off.
The System strains hard to hold unsupportive narratives…
Associated Press – Feb 28 (So, this article hit many news outlets)
Some GOP state lawmakers help spread COVID-19 misinformation
https://apnews.com/article/legislature-ohio-misinformation-coronavirus-pandemic-0c19a98d7dd4f745cfa935d6602528aa
EXCERPTS
…Now that most legislatures are back in session, a new type of pushback is taking root:
misinformation.
In their own comments or by inviting skeptics to testify at legislative hearings, some GOP state lawmakers are using their platform to promote false information about the virus, the steps needed to limit its spread and the vaccines that will pull the nation out of the pandemic.
In some cases, the misstatements have faced swift backlash, even getting censored online.
That’s raised tough questions about how aggressively to combat potentially dangerous misinformation from elected officials or during legislative hearings while protecting free speech and people’s access to government.
Last week, YouTube pulled down a video of committee testimony in the Ohio House after a witness inaccurately claimed COVID-19 wasn’t killing children…
…Founder of a group called Let Them Play, McElvany questioned mask mandates and the science behind state COVID-19 data during a legislative hearing that didn’t feature any witnesses from the other side.
The committee chairman, Republican Rep. Steven Johnson, said the state health department was invited to testify but did not…
…In Tennessee, a Republican lawmaker is pushing legislation that would ban most government agencies from requiring anyone to get COVID-19 vaccines, which isn’t a mandate anywhere…
…While testifying, he ticked off selective statistics that COVID-19 has a lower death rate among children and falsely alleged that the vaccines could cause genetic modifications…
…Sen. Lora Reinbold has used her committee to amplify voices of those who question the effectiveness of masks and the effects of the government’s emergency response…
…she characterized the Dunleavy administration as being “wild” over “these experimental” vaccines…
…“It’s almost like martial law,” she said…
…“Some call ‘misinformation’ information they do not agree with or do not want to hear,” Reinbold said by email…
… Several of those who are spreading bogus virus information in legislatures also have supported Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen… … false claims “simply dangerous.” ….
What a load of steaming hot bovine excrement. When does the media present a witness from the other side?
Some people, pundits, professionals and politicians do not want to see the information…and will leave the room so they don’t hear the FACTS.
On December 8th,2020 the Homeland Security Senate Hearing on Ivermectin and other alternatives…

About 11,000 Texas Restaurants have PERMANENETLY closed, Emily Williams Knight, the (TRA) Texas Restaurant Association’s president, said in an episode of the Y’all-itics podcast on Tuesday.
“We’re still seeing restaurants close as they can’t make that final turn. It’s gut-wrenching to look at the loss,”
she said.
…“Nine out of 10 of these restaurants are small businesses. They employ less than 50 people. And so, you think about that impact in communities across Texas.”…
“If you think about it, we became little grocery outlets. We got a waiver from the governor and we could sell everything from raw steak and chicken to vegetables. We want to make sure if this happens again, that happens.”
This represents about 1/5th of all Texas restaurants and accounts for 150,000 Texans who have lost their jobs.
Valentine’s Day (Feb 14th) should had been a money maker for restaurants. However, Texas got hit with the Arctic Vortex which brought sub-zero temperatures, snow, ice, and power outages.
Monthly rent rates don’t stop coming. It is not uncommon for a nice sized restaurant to pay $10,000 or more a month in rent. Utilities aren’t cheap. Their break-even comes after countless meals are served.

Hello all,
Long time listener/viewer, new subscriber. Looking forward to digging deeper into various topics from your research James, as well as the contributions of the community.
This article resonates with something that I’ve been grappling with, which is the “opting out” concept. Here in the US, it has never been more apparent that our voting system is a rigged game, but I’ve always voted. How can I not vote? If I do not do my part, how can I complain when I don’t like the direction we are heading and all that. Also, while the fundamental policy foundation that Team Coke and Team Pepsi are built on are indistinguishable, the periphery policies (taxes, gun control, social programs, etc.) are more suited to my idea of life in America on one side than on the other. How can I merely opt out?
Anyway, glad to be here and I’m sure that there will be plenty to consider as I wrestle with how we move forward toward freedom and peace.
RM
Good questions. The peripheral issues particularly local issues can have an impact.
Howdy Rick. We Corbett Members all say “Welcome!”
Hi Rick 🙂
Local regulations probably effect you more anyway and you can actually have an effect if you have a few dozen friends who are willing to write letters , go to meetings or otherwise make the local boss think his or job may be at risk.
If normal people got MORE involved in politics things would improve…if they just delegitimized the government by ALL dropping out things might improve…right now we are in sour spot between those points.
Yes, I know. This headline is so yesterday, but I’m posting this ’cause I appreciate Hugo’s brutally honest talk:
Who Can You Trust? Peter Hitchens
https://hugotalks.com/2021/02/28/who-can-you-trust-peter-hitchens-hugo-talks-lockdown/
Floor gunk sure doesn’t go with Hitchen’s shirt, but I guess once the floor is wiped with ya, you get what you had coming.
Honestly, I don’t know about him being controlled opposition. First and foremost, P.Hitchens is a consistent Calvinist. At the end of the day, he’s just another worm obeying God’s appointed rulers. His theology demands it.
Mea culpa: While he enjoys the company of his good, American friend and “Calvinist Ayatolah” Doug Wilson, I just remembered that he’s Anglican. So, divine right of kings/queens sans wormhood maybe? I could learn more about the latter religion, but I’m not going to.
pearl
Lol… Was just going to ask where you’d heard he was a Calvinist. Anglicans have totally collapsed as a church, being the State church they always did tend to bend to authority.
The head of the US Anglicans gave a sermon where she said Paul casting a DEMON out of a slave girl was him “not seeing the beauty in her” so…yeah.
I kinda like Hitchins, since he does point out a ton of things that have been going wrong in the western world.
On the other hand he’s a wealthy older guy who has very little to gain from pulling too hard on his leash so I guess he just decided to cuck.
Everyone is going to have that moment of truth …. hope I do better
Something really just clicked for me when watching the Recommended Viewing video, “China’s Genetically Modified Soldier Class”.
Jason Bermas makes a great point when he says that the inundation with robotics in our world today is preparing the human psyche for the normalization of changing our bodies and appearances not just through plastic surgery, but through gene therapy and manipulation (see queued video below).
Earlier in the conversation Jason was discussing LGBTQ. This all made me think that in the past several years there has been a concerted attack on the norms of gender. There is a continuous and ongoing campaign to ‘re-educate’ children and adults to believe that there are a million types of gender or ways to ‘identify’ yourself with. Gender pronouns, gender identity, gender neutral restrooms, etc. have become mainstream. If you disagree with these ideas you may be called a bigot and viewed as if you had just called a black person a nigger. Since at least 2017, textbooks that little kids use in public schools are teaching them that there is no solid gender.
https://www.californiafamily.org/2017/new-law-being-used-to-spread-lgbt-gender-identity-ideology-into-ca-public-schools/
It would make sense that this is a key part of the larger plan for transhumanism. If people are comfortable with the above ideas, then it will be much easier for them to be okay with the ideas of genetic modification via vaccines, insertable/injectable biotechnology, gene editing, designer babies, human “upgrades”, etc. If they can break down the barriers of man and woman, then everything becomes wishy-washy and these human genetic modifications dont seem to really matter, and will not face as much resistance by the general public. I mean, look what they are already getting away with with the mRNA vaccines!

…A guidebook for teachers produced by Pathway called ‘Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction’ ludicrously claims that mathematics “is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views.”…

Read Transgender Industrial Complex by Scott Howard if you want to get up on that- its a pretty long read with lots of detail.

The game is also played in different timescale.
It is played in slow motion, so you do not see the moves. Because we are to busy…
We seem to be occupied to make ends meet. But if we consciously re-evaluate what this ends should really be, we might step out of this treadmill right away or with a little planning. But it is frightening to do so, since you must unlearn to obey and start listening to your inner voice.
But if you choose to make your inner voice your cornerstone, your life begins…

Dear James,
I’ve regularly been shell shocked by the pinpoint accuracy and relevance of many of your videos.
This editorial, is probably your recent best, save for ” A letter to the future”.
I’ve been trying to convey this very message to many people already woken-up to the reality of our current time.
Never would I’ve thought someone would be able to articulate this in such a powerful and articulate eloquence.
Thank You.
“The 3D players have an unreasonably fair advantage and, although we can garner glimpses of the 3D team and the pieces at their disposal, a wall of classification and secrecy still shrouds their movements to the point where we can only infer or guess at their abilities to influence the 2D board.”
After 14 years, is this all we’ve got? 14 years of research has only garnered “glimpses”? What does “a wall of classification and secrecy” even mean? Specifically, from where or from whom does this “classification” derive? Who issues the classification? Exactly what is the nature of such “classification”?
Am I asking the right questions? However, to hang your whole thesis on a wall of classification and secrecy is unresolute and opaque, and lacking any real degree of clarity. Can we dig a little deeper, a little harder? Name some names, at least?
By the way, as we freely walk away from the game, are we going to ask the citizens of China, all one and a half billion of them, for instance, to walk away, too. Are they free to do so? How does that work?
I hope I’m not being unreasonably fair. I mean, reasonably unfair. No, wait, a person can’t be reasonably unfair, just as they can’t be unreasonably fair…I think. Unreasonably unfair? 🙂
I think many people in China are probably also sick of the tyranny. When the lockdown in Wuhan started, there was a video of a Chinese man from Wuhan trying to speak out against what the government was doing.
He said they were preventing people from going to the hospital and locking them in their homes. He said it was wrong and he was angry and said what they were doing was wrong.
I’ve since looked for the video again and can’t find it. I think people in many people in China are afraid of being kidnapped and killed by their government and that kind of thing can happen there.
People with more freedom need set an example and then perhaps more people in China would be willing to take a risk.
People with more freedom, who are they? Us? Obviously, the denizens of China would be hard pressed to take risks to express their wont – if they have any left – of freedom given the amount of oppression they’re under. Just ask any of the tens of millions of Uyghurs who are currently being subjugated, wholesale, by the totalitarian government in Beijing. The Chinese government is essentially committing genocide against these people, not for being rebellious freedom seekers, but ostensibly, for just being themselves. Meanwhile, apparently, the majority of Chinese people seem to be in lockstep with the rollout of every technological social control and surveillance application known (and perhaps, still unknown) to man. [But, social controls be damned – they seem to be doing quite well under surveillance capitalism. Look at how many billionaires they’re sprouting!]
So, you are either super optimistic about people with so-called freedom setting some kind of example for those under the most calculated, rigid oppression, to take risks, risks that at best will demote them into being citizens non grata, wherein they will be guaranteed to garner “social scores” that leave them socially and economically outcast, or at worst, subject to incarceration and death: Either that, or you are woefully, woefully niäve.
But, hey, listen, that’s just my opinion. Maybe if enough folks have it within their means and have the wherewithal and gumption to scrap it all, because they have the “freedom” to do so, and maybe join in on some freedom pods, or bubbles, or agora communities, or whatever you want to call the nexus of sixties’ hippie colonies that are touted on these pages as being the grand solution to all the troubles that are coming down the pike – who knows! – maybe some of those hard pressed Uyghurs facing their demise might find encouragement!
“the homeless” is a huge category of people and though I tend to agree government programs are meant to keep people downtrodden, there are others who exploit “the system”.
People have to care about themselves and make choices in their own best interests. We do have some choices and aren’t all living in Guantanamo Bay where we are at the mercy of our captors.
I work with homeless, drug addicts, poor and sick people (who refuse to take care of themselves) in the ER and there are some of these folks that just don’t give a crap about anything or themselves and there’s nothing I can do to fix it. No outside helping hand will make it all better. They must learn to love and care for themselves and see themselves as worthy of respect and dignity.
“the system” does teach people they don’t have value and if their parents don’t counter this narrative, it’s hard to overcome it.
I have met plenty of people who are honest and filled with integrity, probably my mother is the person I’ve known with the most of this who would risk her own life and safety to speak up for another person. You never know who these people might be. I’ve had people help me out of a bind and I never would haven ever thought they would be the type. This is why it’s good to not judge others and make assumptions about people. Humans can be very good to one another as well as being evil.
This first week of March…
Could there had been a hard crash in the Stock Markets?
Plunge Protection Team?
James Corbett has often talked about the rigged financial system. I want to highlight an editorial he wrote about 6 months prior to the COVID era…

Another Conspiracy Confirmed:
How the Plunge Protection Team Rigs the Markets
https://www.corbettreport.com/another-conspiracy-confirmed-how-the-plunge-protection-team-rigs-the-markets/
BACKSTORY (by me, HRS – a novice, non-expert to the financial arena.)
This week, all eyes were on the Treasurys.
United States Treasury securities are government debt instruments issued by the United States Department of the Treasury to finance government spending as an alternative to taxation. Treasury securities are often referred to simply as Treasurys. – Wiki
Treasurys pay interest. The Federal Reserve wants inflation at around 2%. If the interest rate on Treasurys start to go above 2%, then it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the United States government to pay back the borrowed money (in the trillions).
Well, everyone and their dog knows that groceries, gas and rent have gone up more than 2% per year. REAL inflation hits the checkbook of average Joe.
When the interest rate on Treasurys goes higher, investors move their money there and out of stocks (stocks are considered “risk assets”). The Bond market (Treasurys and other debt instruments) are 5 times the size of the stock market.
Also, the “Dollar” as a currency becomes stronger (more valued, because of the rate of return from interest). This has implications in trade between nations and other things.
[…continued…]
[…continuing…]
So…this week all eyes were on Treasurys. The interest rates were going up rapidly. This caused all kinds of weird “short” scenarios in the overnight market (Repo). People and institutions were starting to bail from stocks (which EVERYONE knows are in a bubble and way over-valued.) Stock prices were falling fast, because “Real World” was catching up to hard facts despite media hype.
“…High-flyers from Tesla Inc. to Zillow Group Inc. and Chewy Inc. tumbled this week as the spike in rates put pressure on richly valued companies. Along with cannabis plays and solar stocks, these poster children for market froth are enduring losses that exceed 20% from recent highs, meeting one definition of a bear market….” – Bloomberg – Friday 3/5/21

Federal Reserve Jerome Powell was expected to mention this weird, precarious scenario on Friday March 5th at a Wall Street Journal video conference. He never did.

MIRACLE COINCIDENCE suddenly on Friday around the noon hour U.S. time…
…the selling of stocks immediately halted the second that European markets closed…and every single time we dipped negative on TICK, another mysterious bid immediately lifted the markets…
Stock charts show a sudden turn-around from downward to upward.
It’s laughable.
It is like everyone, all at once, had a positive outlook.

“In chess, one player ‘checkmates’ the other by driving his opponent’s king into a position from which he cannot move without being attacked.”
This is actually a description of stalemate rather than checkmate. More correct would be something like: “In chess, one player ‘checkmates’ the other by attacking his opponent’s king in such a way that the king cannot escape and the attack cannot be averted.”
