Great talk. I am just now learning about the Vatican, the Jesuits, the one world government and one world religion. I have Dutch and English ancestry, and both those lands were overrun by the Roman Empire and attempted to be enslaved by the Vatican. This quest for dominion of the world has been going on for 2000 years. I think a lot of people woke up, trying to worldwide lockdowns of 2020 and the fake pandemic. Ironically, this talk was given at the UN, which is part of the one world government. The people of the world are engaged in an old old conflict between life and slavery. Life wins, but the slave masters, and their agents need to be dealt with effectively.

My first, somewhat thoughtless response to this talk (whilst brimming with indignation) was "We are all Indians". However, spontaneity isn't always a virtue. It can hide or memoryhole the fact that I wasn't raised in an indigenous community, to mention just one thing. I was in fact raised in a Protestant (or Calvinist milieu, with a father who was a (critical, well-read) minister within one of its denominations (and nearly got expelled for his heretical views). My mother survived a Japanese internment camp on the isle of Java, now part of Indonesia and formerly part of the colonial empire of the 'Seven United Netherlands Provinces'. All of this made more sense to me over the last decade.

For better or worse, my parents are no longer elderly people. They are now my most immediate or intimate forebears. By acknowledging & honoring this, I must come to terms with the culture that spawned me, even if it can no longer be my natural go-to when pondering the domination system, both at macro (AND micro) levels. Which is an assessment, not a complaint.

I thank you, Steven Newcomb, for being such an enlightening presence on substack and elsewhere.

Fabulous talk, Steve! Wado, thank you, and I will share with others. I’m also wondering whether you had any interaction with the Vatican representative in attendance, and if you did, what they had to say.

After watching the video, an impressive amount of history and info in a short time-span, it occurred to me that another label for the US and other so-called countries could be: domocracy... Greek, kratia "might; rule, power over, authority" of the dominators.

Brilliant summary of half a millennium+, spanning the Age of Christian Domination to this day... Comprising not only how it came to be that the fledgling US, whatever its pretensions of liberty, imported a nasty (and dominant) tradition from 'their old world', and how this legacy (based on the explicit wordings in the 1835 ruling by judge Catron) was exported to (or 'universalized into') at least four continents.

My Great Great Grandparents were from the indigenous Cree tribes in Canada. I only discovered this late in life (I'm 65) and it makes me wonder if the reason why I cannot fathom a culture that let's children starve is because of the indigenous blood in my veins. I feel like an alien in this white christian English culture (with some French Canadian in my blood, too. Nothing makes sense and I struggle to stay positive because the grief I feel over the suffering all around me is debilitating.
