Here is a
good word. Accretion. It is a noun.
“Growth or increase in size by gradual external addition, fusion, or
inclusion.” I seldom recall where I
learned a word. Accretion is an
exception. I was listening to Malachi
Martin talk about one of his books, perhaps The Jesuits, that purports to be the behind-the-scenes
story of the “new” worldwide Society of Jesus. “The leaders and the dupes; the
blood and the pathos; the politics, the betrayals and the humiliations; the
unheard-of alliances and compromises.”
Or maybe it was Windswept House, that describes a satanic ritual
that took place at the Vatican in 1963, enthroning Lucifer in the papal seat.
In astrophysics, the word is used to
describe an “accumulation of particles into a massive object by gravitationally
attracting more matter, typically gaseous matter, into an accretion disk.” According to the accretion model, “most
astronomical objects, such as galaxies, stars, and planets, are formed by
accretion processes.”
Malachi Martin spoke of accretion in
an organization (or a mind) as something that was not good. He used the illustration of barnacles on a boat,
that must be periodically scraped from the vessel to ensure its integrity and
ability to function.
Spooks or spies and the company we keep.
Martin was an interesting character, a compelling
speaker whose critiques of modern culture were thought-provoking. There are quite a few historians and
researchers who believe that Father Martin (still a priest at the time of the
Vatican II Council in the early 1960s) was on the payroll of the American
Jewish Congress (AJC) to push an agenda of ecumenism and create a document
absolving the Jewish people of the death of Christ.
“As we can see from Malachi
Martin's own words, he was not merely a womanizer, liberal, spy, and con-man, but one
of the most treacherous figures in the entire history of the Church, a hater of Christians and Christianity at its
very core and an active destroyer of both.”
-- Author Maurice Pinay (A pen name. Perhaps a collective of writers?)
One thing that Alan Watt has said
publicly about Malachi Martin is that despite all that he had, or may have gotten
“up to,” he had done more than most to instill a renewed interest in the supra
or super-natural amongst the minds of ordinary people in a post-religious,
atheized, materialist world. Make of
that what you will.

I wanted to return to the beginning
of what I call the “The Year of Covid,” in
part because as the distance grows between the here and now, and the first days
of its unfolding, I have fought against “accretion.” Theories, “conspiracies,” experts with
narratives, truthers with counter-narratives, information, misinformation,
disinformation, hyperbole and dross form on the Ship of Mind like
barnacles and must be scraped off.
The first time that
Alan mentioned what came to be called Covid-19 and SARS-CoV-2, was in his
February 2, 2020 blurb:

Perfect Storm:
"Chinese Travelling at New Year, Party and Song,
Happy Reunions then Fear, as it All Went Wrong."

From this
talk, until his final blurb on February 28, 2021, Alan covered this with a
growing sense of urgency (as seen in the increasing length of his talks.) It was also clear to him within days of this
exploding onto the Western press, that he was witnessing the type of event he
had long warned about.
For this
Redux 127, I chose the second talk that Alan gave as this amazing “Event”
played out.
Waiting
Game:
"Expert
Advice Antiquated, Repeated, Expected,
Symptomless
Spreaders Have Now Been Detected."

He talked about the use of
fear for herd management and used as an example The
Weather Channel. “They
were set up there to terrify the public.
So, a little bit of drizzle could be possible flooding coming your way.
Everything became a crisis. Utter nonsense, you know. But that's how you do it, you terrify the
public. Through the data, it's
information but it's data. Information doesn't mean true or untrue, it's just
data, you see. And very often it is untrue. This whole thing about fake news is
as old as the hills. We've been getting it our whole lives. And your parents
before you, you know, were getting it their whole lives too. Fake news.
Everything's fake, really, 'eh.”
Part of the accretion is clearly
strategy. Look below at the news links
and see how immediately, we were being trained to track cases and deaths, and
these statistics changed in real time.
How many of you recall looking at worldometer
every day for death counts? Data flew at
us fast and furious. If you were camped
out in front of the television, it was Anthony Fauci or Neil Ferguson or the
WHO’s Tedros Ghebreyesus. If you liked
political theatre then you could scream about Obama’s birthday bash in the midst of lockdown, or yell along with Donald Trump
about the “China virus.” Which was it,
Donald? Drinking bleach or waiting for
your Operation Warp Speed to deliver salvation?
Was the virus something that mutated
in nature and got loose in a wet market (that in itself a
horror set piece to the Western mind) or was it created in a Chinese BSL-4 lab
using gain-of-function technology, exported to China from a North Carolina, USA
university, with special thanks to Tony Fauci and Ralph Baric? Was there a novel or nouveau virus at
all? Do viruses even exist?
The Year of Covid, which in my mind
became the global theatre production I call “Operation Covid,” had a cast of
thousands, with many of the actors waiting in the wings right now for Act
II. Theatre buffs will see that the big name actor, Anthony “Tony” Fauci, has appeared in quite
a few major productions over the years such as “H1N1” which when released in a
theatre near you was retitled “Swine Flu,” because it made for better
advertising posters. Fauci has been a
“go-to” thespian for so long now. He was
the writer-director of “The HIV Theory of AIDS” in which he also had a starring
role.
When they bandied about names for this very scary production,
some of Fauci’s suggestions were knocked down because the panel of experts
wanted it to have a super-scientific ring to it, therefore it became “Covid-19
aka SARS-CoV-2.” But in the end “Foxy”
Fauci (as Alan dubbed him) got his way and the horror show was affectionately
retitled “Trust the Science,” softened just a wee bit from his original “I AM
the Science.”
In this talk, Alan read from an article entitled “U.S.
charges three, including Harvard researcher, with lying about China ties.” Alan said, “I mentioned it before, but I
didn’t go into any depth with it.”
Then he began to read from the article.
(Reuters) – A Harvard University department chair and two
Chinese nationals who were researchers at Boston University and a Boston
hospital were charged on Tuesday with lying about their alleged links to the
Chinese government.
Alan: Now, this is
an odd article, it’s an odd story. But it says…
The charges are part of an aggressive effort by U.S.
authorities to block what they say are Chinese attempts to steal American
scientific and technological advances.
Alan: And China
does this, it’s true, they’re famous for it, all kinds of technology, but
including biochemical industry and all the rest of it too.
Continuing with the article:
Prosecutors charged Charles Lieber,
Alan: Now, Charles
Lieber is a big shot in the science world, in the bio science world. Because he’s
into biology and nanotechnology, it’s quite fascinating really.
Article: Charles Lieber,
chair of Harvard University’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology,
Alan: He was
charged with…
Article: lying about
participating in China’s Thousand Talents Plan, which aims to attract research
specialists working overseas.
Alan: When you
really dig into it too, this professor also was working with the Pentagon. You’re
looking at… You can start to sniff where it’s all going, you know what I’m
saying? But when I read it, I thought,
this guy, his big field is nanotechnology, including incredibly fine threads.
Now, you tie that in with the articles just come out a couple of days ago on
Elon Musk’s brain chips basically, his nanotechnology for the brain, using this
incredibly fine nano wires basically. Well, this is what this guy works with,
obviously. This was this guy’s area.
***
This was an odd story.
What we heard was that Lieber had spied, and groomed young Chinese
scientists to spy. What he was convicted
for was two counts of lying to FBI agents and four counts of IRS fraud. He was sentenced in 2023 and given “time
served” in part because he has incurable lymphoma.
Charles Lieber is a chemist and for many years was the head
of Harvard University’s Chemistry department.
He is considered a pioneer in nanoscience and nanotechnology, has
published many hundreds of papers.
According to Wikipedia, “He
is known for his contributions to the synthesis, assembly
and characterization of nanoscale materials and nanodevices, the application of
nanoelectronic devices in biology, and as a mentor to
numerous leaders in nanoscience. He is
the principal inventor on over fifty issued US patents and applications.”
What was his arrest really about? He carried suitcases full of U.S. dollars
from China to the States, as well as routing money into a Chinese bank
account. He has been called a spy yet
was never indicted as such. Other
scientists leapt to his defense and decried his arrest and indictment as
“McCarthyism” and a witch hunt. He was
kept on the payroll of Harvard throughout his trial. As Alan said, it’s an odd story.
Despite his illness, he is still working (or putting his name
on papers.) This is the title of a study
published in Science July 20, 2023, “Ultra-Flexible Endovascular
Probe Maps Deep-Brain Activity.” “A
new study presents a minimally invasive, ultra-flexible electronic neural
implant, delivered via blood vessels, which records single-neuron activity in
deep-brain regions, offering promising advancements for brain-machine
interfaces and personalized neural therapies.
Introduction to Ultra-Small Neural Implants
“A revolutionary ultra-small,
ultra-flexible electronic neural implant has been developed that can record
single-neuron activity deep within rat brains, as detailed in a new study. Brain-machine
interfaces (BMIs) facilitate direct electrical communication between the brain
and external electronic systems. These devices allow brain activity to directly
control objects like prostheses, or modulate nerve or muscle function, thus
aiding individuals with paralysis or neurological disorders to regain function. However, the majority of
conventional BMIs are only able to measure neural activity at the brain’s
surface. In order to record single-neuron activity
from deeper brain regions, invasive intracranial surgery is often necessary to
implant probes. Such procedures can lead to complications including infection,
inflammation, and damage to brain tissues.”
An initial reading of the article
could leave one with ideas about sinister applications. But the article does point out that an
advancement like this will allow individuals with paralysis to directly control
objects. Whew! No military applications to worry about.
There’s also this about Charles
Lieber from Wiki, “Since 2007
Lieber has grown giant pumpkins in his front and back yards in Lexington,
Massachusetts. In 2010 he won the annual weigh-off at Frerich's Farm in Rhode
Island with a 1,610-lb pumpkin and returned in 2012 with a 1,770-lb pumpkin
that won 2nd place in that year's weigh-off but set a Massachusetts record. His
1,870-lb pumpkin in 2014 was named the largest pumpkin in Massachusetts and
ranked 17th largest in the world that year. In 2020, the year of his arrest, he
grew a 2,276-lb pumpkin that currently holds the record for the largest ever
grown in Massachusetts.”
An amazing piece of PR for just one
player in our cast of thousands. Boston
Magazine both exploits and downplays the espionage, “The Indicted Harvard
Professor’s Other Double Life: Pumpkins.”
He works in the world of the really,
very, super-tiny, but what a massive hobby he has!
