This post was assembled through past months’ upheavals — criminal activity, ignorance and somnolence — a landscape is strewn with the casualties of 5th gen warfare: lobotomized by spike protein; the propagandized and confused; those still clinging desperately to programming long past its best before.
The death of Canadian democracy was proclaimed — along with the list of atrocities — all over social media the last week of April, 2026.
Glenn Beck’s summary on X made the declaration insightfully from afar:
Canada is not a democracy. It's not even a free nation anymore.
How could it be when Parliament is sidelined for eight months, allowing the executive branch to reign unchecked?
Or when foreign interference is ignored and elections are gamed?
Or when courts rule that the government broke the law and nothing changes?
Or when the state controls your speech, your property, your energy, your news, your guns, your healthcare—and offers you assisted suicide when the wait times get too long?
Canada has become something else: a managed oligarchy with democratic trappings, where the individual exists to serve the state.
Canadians surely sense something not right, and yet in the midst of it (this hypernormalization), simply lack perspective or the courage to call a spade a spade. Intuition guides. Things were not all that great before the Becklaration. They have just continued to go down hill ever since.
Having our initial guidance system (CBC, etc., media) throwing one lopsided error after another doesn’t help. Neither does the Edward Bernays’ style PR.
It’s just a hunch, but the tightening of the governance sphincter could be related to having hoodwinked the country — everyone — with “safe and effective”, when it clearly was not, and even now pretending that this is completely okay.
The powers that should not be are doing everything in their power to dodge the fact that they imposed the zombification of our country.
The Valentines Day emergency measures have been referred to as Justin Trudeau’s “Ceaușescu moment.” Others close by have been implicated1.
If they relaxed their power they would and should be tarred and feathered for unbelievable nastiness. Like tyrants the world over however, abdicating or relinquishing implies death of one form or another, and who would let that happen? So they tighten their grip.
Post plandemic there was a debate about forgiveness. Margaret Ann Alice wrote the quintessential poem of our time — Mistakes Were NOT Made — in response. It ends with the heart wrenching appeal presented as an ultimatum: Don’t let them get away with it. (x3)
What’s wanted is some sort of effective shaming — humiliation that a prison sentence or even a firing-squad doesn’t convey. Ultimately the crime of knowingly causing harm — seriously disappointing everyone and betraying sacred trust — needs to be associated with an immense faut-pas for all eternity.
Perhaps recent Order of Canada recipients might volunteer to be pilloried on Parliament Hill for a while.
“One of the things about us Anglos (which includes the Irish and the Scots and the Welsh and all of them) deep deep deep in our cultural identity is redemption. An individual in our in our civilization must be given the chance to redeem themselves. It’s got to be real though and it’s really hard to earn. And that ain’t really about, you know, us giving you forgiveness or any of that. It’s between you, your soul and God.” – E.M. Burlingame
Our very own visionary Leonard, said it all in his song The Future (November 1992). Heavy lyrics. Perhaps each and every one of us should be seeking redemption.
Complicity
Canadians have a shadow issue, a monster mammal in the room so to speak, that no one wants to talk about. Everyone, all of us, went along with our zombification. We all fall somewhere on that 0 to 10 slider.
Deep down we all wear bits and pieces of that uniform that legitimizes empire: the expensive aerodynamic styrofoam for the head, slightly different for each activity; vehicle restraint systems to keep you in your place, face coverings to mask a certain uncertainty and fear, the bandaid virtue signal call out to be loved and accepted, hi-vis reflectives so we don’t go unnoticed.2
It’s not our fault we’ve all been bred and conditioned to embrace the Nanny State. In all our naivety the last thing we would expect is to be fucked over by the folks appointed to look out for us. And yet that’s most likely the nature of the beast. We all really need to take responsibility.
It’s Time to Have the Forbidden Conversation — Shawn Buckley
The COVID Reckoning That Never Came
The betrayal runs deep. <snip> They lied. They knew they were lying. They censored, gaslit, and destroyed lives to protect the narrative. Many institutions including public health, intelligence, media, Big Pharma were all in on it and still propagating the lies today.That loss of trust is profound and permanent for millions of us. — Edward Dowd
We’re also all likely guilty of thinking we were doing the logical, correct thing, when in retrospect, something more like the reverse is true. That sucks big time. Being fooled will always be accompanied by anguish. The scope of the shenanigan will determine the intensity.
Even if the top down recommendation/obligation was valid after a fashion, how can the complicit justify the harm caused? Understandable that very few of us will sit quietly and fess up to the moral dilemma here.
How many of your friends and family that have passed away recently received the life-saving shot?
It’s been drawn to my attention that it’s not wealth and power that are the real sought-afters — it’s actually the ability to get away with murder. To be able to act on your emotions and desires with no consequence, that’s the real prize. Aware of this, civilized society needs to draw a line, and attend to it with the utmost vigilance. Falling asleep on this is lethal.

In the heat of summer ‘26 what was once a barely audible and largely suppressed whimper from the marginalized has turned into an overwhelming roar for calls for basic sanity and justice. If we can’t attend to this conversation with sincerity there really is no hope.
Leadership
It may have occurred to you by now that a head of state is a sitting duck. What protection can one muster against bribes when there is no upper limit? How can one guard against blackmail when those so inclined only need to find a weak spot?3
Whoever is steering the boat needs to be incorruptible.
Toby Rogers’ 2023 book review of When McKinsey Comes to Town4 outlines how our management consultant class is groomed from the best-of-the-best schools, stripped of ethics and turned into stone cold killers on behalf of capital.
The important thing to understand is that McKinsey works for EVERY major player in every sector of the economy — governments, regulatory agencies, municipalities, militaries, intelligence agencies, international organizations, companies, non-profits, the arts & culture, media, and philanthropies. In the process they reshape the entire global economy… to serve McKinsey.
Because of the work of McKinsey and other management consultants we now live in an Economic Hunger Games while being told that this is the best of all possible worlds.5
No wonder we’re left wondering what happened to the moral compass. Our leaders and bureaucrats simply hire consultants to solve problems, and leadership hopefuls rise to the ranks of the parasitic class, no doubt owing to their altruism.
You likely guessed that the reason no one is talking about the elephant in the room is because those responsible would do anything and everything to divert our attention from holding them responsible. It’s a sick situation. The leadership that got us into this mess must maintain the illusion of innocence. A sick situation because it circles in on itself. No one wants to admit that they’ve been duped. The dupers think they can get away with murder and act as such: Nothing to see here. Please remain distracted. The duped take comfort in the fact that the dupers will never admit to duping, and so on.
The day of mourning for Canada, that True North Strong and Free spirit of Canada, is a surrender with resignation. The wake up call is We’re all fucked.
Might be a good time to change out the old algo. It’s not working.
Revised software for the cultural spirit6 must include a substantial upgrade to the rules of leadership selection. We can and must rant and rage and yet when everything comes undone we really need to softly change the criteria in big way. This essay has a couple of somewhat outrageous recommendations built into the analysis. They may seem really far fetched but on closer examination they are already at play in a way folks have yet to recognize or articulate.
1. Careful Evaluation
My take on Chase Hughs’ take on leadership is it’s largely hopeless.7
We’re suckers for charisma and confidence (and false promises) and are largely blind to the underlying spiritual substance and embodied integrity. We continually scan to grant authority, and frequently do so for the flimsiest of reasons. My closest dearest friend admits unapologetically that its sex appeal that gets her vote.
“Elections” are rigged. “The System” is broken. It’s highly unlikely that we can vote our way out of this.
What’s happening now whether we like it or not is a fundamental reboot. How that happens is totally dependant on the awareness of all us participants.
We grant power to those attending the Bilderberg and Davos meetings.
What if we instead, empowered our wise elders and grandmothers?
It might be Yarvin’s monarchy,8 or our flourishing cluster of self-organizing collectives9 or a combination. When the pendulum swings where’s it likely to land?
Autonomist thinkers in Italy have, over the last couple decades, developed a theory of what they call revolutionary “exodus.” It is inspired in part by particularly Italian conditions—the broad refusal of factory work among young people, the flourishing of squats and occupied “social centers” in so many Italian cities... But in all this Italy seems to have acted as a kind of laboratory for future social movements, anticipating trends that are now beginning to happen on a global scale.
The theory of exodus proposes that the most effective way of opposing capitalism and the liberal state is not through direct confrontation but by means of what Paolo Virno has called “engaged withdrawal,” mass defection by those wishing to create new forms of community.
— David Graeber, Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology 2004, P32
“The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don’t have to waste your time voting.”
~ Charles Bukowski
We all get to design the outcome now.
Anyone who has read David Hawkins (1927-2012) Power vs Force will be familiar with humanity’s latest map of consciousness.10 There are reams about this on the Internet. An amazing place to start is: Hawkins Consciousness Scale: Explore the Map of Consciousness as described by Dr. David R. Hawkins. View the scale or take the free Hawkins Scale Test to discover your current level from lower states of fear to higher states of enlightenment.
The David Hawkins’ map is logarithmic and developed kinaesthetically using muscle testing exhaustively for verification, appealing directly to the felt sense of embodied reality. The map is not the territory and yet at this point we are just beginning to understand what this territory “consciousness” is. The cool thing about this map is that it can only become more accurate. It will only sharpen each time it is used.
It costs a smidgen of time. Evaluations can be repeated and verified. The question then becomes: Just how much self-awareness should we demand of those pretending to care for our society?
Should we not put our leadership hopefuls — those to whom we grant authority — to a test? Or perhaps several tests… Would not a number representing a person’s conscious disposition, be at very least as important as a pollster assessment?
Doing everything we can to eliminate bad actors would no doubt require something more substantial that an IQ or Consciousness Scale test. It is an interesting place to start. In fact it’s already happening, as we can ask the AI anything —
Where does Trump fall on the Hawkins Map of Consciousness?
David R. Hawkins did not publish an official calibration for Donald Trump. Hawkins died in 2012, before Trump’s 2016 campaign and presidencies. Any number you see is an unofficial muscle-test (“kinesiology”) result from later practitioners, and those numbers swing wildly with the tester’s politics.
Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness (from Power vs. Force and later books) is a logarithmic scale from 1–1000. Levels below 200 are labeled “force” (ego-driven, life-diminishing); 200 and above are labeled “power” (integrity, constructive). Key landmarks:
Shame 20, Guilt 30, Apathy 50, Grief 75, Fear 100, Desire 125, Anger 150, Pride 175
Courage 200 (the integrity threshold), Neutrality 250, Willingness 310, Acceptance 350, Reason 400, Love 500, Joy 540, Peace 600, Enlightenment 700–1000
Hawkins himself calibrated some historical figures and a few living politicians (George W. Bush around 460 in one compilation). He spoke positively in a 2009 lecture about Trump’s enthusiasm and worldly success, but he never assigned a public number.
Unofficial calibrations of Trump
Practitioners who use Hawkins’ method have produced these results:
~121 (Desire range) — 2016 test cited on a Hawkins-focused site.
159 and ~185 — later independent tests and commenters.
370 (between Acceptance and Reason) — a pro-Trump Hawkins site that also credits his presidential work at 435.
The spread (roughly Desire/Pride versus mid-Reason) tracks the tester’s prior view of Trump more than any reproducible measurement. Muscle testing of this kind has no scientific validation; it is treated as a spiritual or metaphorical tool by followers and as pseudoscience by skeptics.
In short: there is no single “Hawkins number” for Trump. The map itself is a framework some people find useful for self-reflection; applying it to living politicians mainly reveals the calibrator’s own attractor field. — Grok
I asked a different bot, Where does Mark Carney fall on the Hawkins Map of Consciousness? and received a similar result. The assessments are interesting as they cut through our dualistic bias and provide a bigger picture.
The skepticism in each is warranted. To make a determination using the scale obviously requires an open mind. We have to carefully select who we look to in the regard. The Trump average based on the above 254, makes some sense actually.
Scott Britton has written extensively and really intelligently about his experience with the Hawkins’ system: My Unexpected Journey in Muscle Testing (1 of 7). We could start with enabling ourselves and our Self Organizing Communities! The fundamental distinction sits somewhere between fear and love. Canada’s current authority figures appear to be acting out of fear for the reasons mentioned above.
Author/historian Graham Hancock, recommends a ritual change in the state of consciousness which is noteworthy here:
2. Change of state as a requisite
I’ve said this a dozen times, but I’ll say it again. If I had the power to do so, I would make it a law, an absolute law, that anybody running for a powerful political position, particularly if that position is president or head of state in any kind of way, that that person has to undergo the ayahuasca ordeal first. They have to have 10 or 12 sessions of ayahuasca as a condition for applying for the job. I suspect that most who had had those experiences wouldn’t want to apply for the job anymore. They would want to live a different kind of life. And those who did want to carry on being a leader of a nation would be very different people from the people who are leading the nations of the earth into chaos and destruction today. — Graham Hancock, Lex Fridman Podcast #449 02:12:06
A right of passage, a doorway to Enlightened Leadership?
On that note, let’s wrap with a sweet song. Sweet Land is the song of our era, each line a poetic play of possibilities. Yes Canada, let’s wake up. We really do deserve something better.11

David Martin includes Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland in “The Covid Orchestra Board of Trustees.” These folks along with Justin Trudeau were likely insiders inside the scam.

One only begins to appreciate the pervasive nature of the Nanny State when it is absent. I had this experience in the Ukraine (2006-2011). In the post-Soviet era, there simply were no rules there apart from the unspoken imposed by family wisdom.

We are really all called upon to become culture engineers, to manifest a just society (tout suite).
The Jordan Harbinger Show 102: Chase Hughes | Why Authority Is More Influential Than Skill. Chase begins with the famous Milgram Experiment
So this experiment's been redone hundreds of times. What persuasion skill, what influence skill has that kind of power? Because everybody talks about, “Oh, you need to be better at persuasion. You'd be better at learning influence skills,” but there's no persuasion skill that can allow you to just talk a stranger into committing murder in like half an hour.
we're hardwired for obedience. — Chase Hughs
Also, the new regime has to be a monarchy. Objectively. Whatever the actual title.
The logic behind this is straighforward. It is easy to explain how to get from believing in nothing—from abandoning all of 21st-century public political philosophy, and throwing away the previous four centuries of Anglo-American thought while you’re at it—to history’s most common, ordinary and simple form of government: monarchy.
A real path to grand politics Curtis Yarvin, August 08, 2026
“When there is a real regime change—everyone’s life changes.”
Sure, monarchy is great, if you have a good king. What if you have an evil king? An insane king?
Asgardia the Space Nation is a great rather lofty example. SOCs (Self Organizing Collectives) are all around us. Substack facilitates their formation. They can flourish in neighbourhoods, in the inner city and in rural settings. Your SOC can be your personal circle of kindness and enrichment.
Humanity has been mapping its highs and lows for sometime now. Ralph Metzner wrote Maps of Consciousness in 1971 “I Ching, Tantra, Tarot, alchemy, astrology, actualism” The Classic Text on Exploring the Mind and Expanding Awareness. (on my reading list)
I’m fond of Ten bhumis — ten stages or ‘grounds’ used in the Mahayana to describe the progression of a practitioner on the path to enlightenment, perhaps because the name I was given when I took the Bodhisattva Vow decades ago was “Lion of the Ten Bhumis.”
All these maps provide guidance and a sense of what naturally emerges when one forgoes ego fixation. The Hawkins Map somewhat uniquely provides tools for both subjective and objective assessment of where things are at.

Sweet land, sweet land of the weary and wild.
Oh where, oh where are you, my sweet?
The garden’s either dying or about to come alive.
The river’s either drying or it’s deep enough to dive.
Can’t tell if it’s the dusk or if it’s breaking into dawn.
Are we going on or are we going, going, gone?
Somebody said a storm is coming, but it’s been a long, long time.
I don’t know what’s up ahead, but please baby, don’t you look behind.
So tell me, is it going to be free energy forever, or just the same… damn… old… grind?
Singing, (sweet land) sweet land of the weary and the wild.
Are we one year from the grave, or is this just the beginning, my sweet child?
Oh, you’re my star-spangled fever dream, half a savior, half a liar.
250 summers and we’re going higher, higher, higher.
Singing, (sweet land, sweet land) going, going, gone?
The neighbors might be coming with a casserole or a gun.
The kids are either screaming or they’re laughing in the sun.
Is the timeline coming undone, or is it coming in clear?
The fireworks are blinding, but I’ll keep on dancing here.
And nobody can promise me that we’re going to make it to the light.
So is it an awakening, or is this a knife in the night?
So come on brother, sister, stand up tall, because guess what?
Where we go one, we go all!
If you can hear this
from the other side,
across this great quantum divide,
don’t get me wrong,
now is the time to stay strong.
So with all of that I’ll say,
God bless the USA.
God bless the USA.
Singing, sweet land, going on, soaring on.
250 years and it’s going on, on and on.
On the edge of a forever or the edge of being gone.
Is it midnight? Is it morning? Is it ruin?
Is it time to rise?
250 summers gone by,
so just go on and tell me those sweet lies.
The kind as sweet as these Julys.
(Sweet land, sweet land) Going on and going on,
(Sweet land, sweet land) I got to fight like FIRE.
(Fire) Fire.
(Sweet land, sweet land) going on, going on.
(Sweet land, sweet land) going, going, gone.
So please, just know that we can still rebuild.
We can still make something… Better.

Brilliant
There are many great insights, suggestions and questions in this post brother.
While I personally reject the legitimacy of the state (as in the national scale centralized involuntary governance structure that uses violent coercion to engage in theft, aka "taxation" to fund its various activities) whether its democratic or not, whether the people that are placed atop that system did ayahuasca or not and whether they passed a consciousness chart test well or not, I certainly think asking questions like "What if we instead, empowered our wise elders and grandmothers?" is a good idea.
Then again, this also raises the question(s), who gets to define "wise elder"? and by what standards?
Some who looked up to their elders and thought of them as wise listened to advice to receive experimental genetic slurry mRNA injections over the past few years, and now they have myocarditis, cancer or they are dead.
And what about the grandmothers that have been inculcated into the wendigo sickness and are also perpetrators of colonialism? As disturbing as it is to look at that reality, it is part of our culture and even people with indigenous blood to this land that are grandmothers can be brainwashed.
What about women like the tribal council member I mention in this note linked below?
https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-157885804
She is an indigenous grandmother, and she has been brainwashed in Residential Schools to support and profit from capitalistic exploitation of the ancient forests her ancestors stewarded for millennia. She has been getting paid by logging corporations to profit from the suffering of her great grandchildren by destroying salmon habitat and destabilizing mountain sides that will become landslides and mudslides for future generations.
Men are not doing any better in similar positions of leadership, but how do we dismantle the patriarchy and cheer for more women to get into leadership without letting psychopaths and profiteers like that lady or war mongers like Hilary Clinton get in?
I like the part you expressed about self-organizing collectives and becoming culture engineers, to manifest a just society and these are some of the things I attempt to do my own small part to work towards and engage in.
I express my own personal view on the state in this essay below (with a large excerpt from Henry David Thoreau)
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/thoreau-declaring-war-with-the-state
I feel that governments that take money from diverse peoples spanning the face of an entire continent (whether the people are willingly giving it or not) are incapable of serving the myriad communities and cultures within that vast region effectively (even if the leaders were some hypothetical and unprecedented benevolent and super ayahuasca initiated leaders) as they would be incapable of knowing the needs of such diverse peoples and/or incapable of providing situation specific services and solutions accordingly. The state is a purveyor of one size fits all solutions, so even if their solutions or services are tailored to benefit the majority, that still means the minority will get ignored, steamrolled and/or thrown under the bus (and that is in a best case democracy scenario, realistically speaking it is typically historically oligarchs that benefit from and are served by the edicts of the state and the majority get parasitically fed on and thrown under the bus ). Thus, I advocate for the boycotting of the state, the peaceful dismantling and abolishing of the state, and planting the seeds for bioregionally defined SOCs, cultures and potential voluntary governance models to take its place.
Thanks for getting me thinking and thanks for caring about this land and her many peoples.
