THE SECRET GUIDE TO WORD MAGIC
Spelling is called spelling. Cursive is called cursive. And the most dangerous man in comedy just wrote a book explaining why.
Owen Benjamin grew up hiding under a cardboard desk to survive a nuclear blast, eating margarine because the food pyramid said so, and learning about heroin from a cop who made him act out an overdose in school. He was taught he descended from a primate through random mutation, that he was spinning on a ball of liquid nickel inside an explosion that came from nothing, and that the stars he saw at night were already dead. Then he was tested on everything and told he was smart because he could repeat all of it.
He became a comedian instead.
How to Slay a Wizard is about the people who run the tricks, the tricks themselves, and the one lie at the root of every spell ever cast on a living man or woman. It is not a political book. It is not a religious book. It is a book about manipulation, who does it, how it works, and why it requires your participation to be effective.
Starting from the dictionary definition of "wizard" and working outward through the mechanics of hypnotic language, the economics of fiat currency, the psychology of the con, the architecture of propaganda, and the spiritual sickness that turns a liar into a monster, the Big Bear dismantles every major spell of the modern age and shows you exactly what they have in common. Every spell follows the same structure. Every spell requires the same ingredient. And that ingredient is you.
This book will teach you what a wizard is, what an alchemist is, and why the difference matters. It shows how spells are structured like jokes that never deliver the punchline. It explains why the most forbidden word in America is forbidden and what the vampire myth is actually describing. It tells you how to spot a liar before the lies take root. And at the very end, the book exposes the one lie that has to be believed in order for any of it to work on you. It is so simple you might laugh. That's the point.
Once you see the secret spells, you will never stop seeing them. And then the wizards can no longer deceive you

City officials expect to reach a βwater emergencyβ within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to Texas airports, hike gas prices and trigger a local economic disaster without precedent, former officials say.
Without significant rainfall, Corpus Christi is headed for a βwater emergencyβ within months and total depletion of the system next year, according to the cityβs website. βThe impacts are going to be felt tremendously through the state, if not internationally,β said Sean Strawbridge, former CEO of the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, the nationβs top port for crude oil exports, in a 40-minute interview Thursday. βThis should be no surprise to anybody. We were talking about this over a decade ago.β
Other current and former officials, alarmed at what they call a lack of preparations, have suggested the potential for an economic crisis involving mass layoffs, disruption of fuel supplies and billions of dollars in emergency spending to avoid an evacuation of the city.
βThe water shortage in the Coastal Bend is the result of a historic five-year drought,β it said. βCurrently, the City of Corpus Christi has $1 billion in City Council-approved and funded water projects underway to address our water needs. The City remains committed to ensuring water security for the more than 500,000 residents and our commercial and industrial customers.β
Depletion of this regionβs reservoirs would lead to βcontrolled depressionβ for the local economy, βmass unemploymentβ and βindustrial total shutdown,β according to a two-page report by Don Roach, former assistant general manager of the San Patricio Municipal Water District, which supplies many of the regionβs large industrial water users.
That includes refineries operated by Flint Hills Resources, Valero and Citgo that provide jet fuel to Texas airports and meet much of the stateβs daily demand for gasoline.
Besides the historic drought, much of the water is being consumed by the oil and plastics refineries who need to cool down the equipment to prevent overheating and explosions hitting their machinery. The Corpus Christi city authorities tried to supplement the water supply by building desalinisation plants but local NIMBY opposition saw these plans scrapped in 2019 and nothing has been done to fix the city's water issues since.

UMC Suspends Lady Pastor Who Worked For Jeffrey Epstein, Oversaw Island Operations

This probably dates to before Erika married Charlie. Again, it is looking like female stars are Mossad assets. You have Meghan Markle, who was supposedly a Mossad honeypot with Price Andrew on a yacht in a harbor in Vietnam, IIRC. You have Ghislaine, looking for a gift for her nephew, asking him what Hollywood star would he want to do nasty things to, at which point she presumably called up her Mossad handler and had Natalie Portman delivered to him. Harvey Weinstein looked like the Jeffrey Epstein of Hollywood, and he just suddenly emerged into that position shortly after he and his brother were working the streets, offering bars a deal to stick flyers under windshield wipers at the local train stations. There were no utopias under this conspiracy. Nobody βmade it.β They just decided how much of their soul they wished to barter away for a few more of the creature comforts the conspiracy appears to have had the market cornered on. https://x.com/IanCarrollShow/status/2032698094387667180

ποΈ 15 March 44 BC: The Ides of March π©Έ
2070 years ago today, Gaius Julius Caesar, dictator of Rome (dictator perpetuo), was stabbed to death in the Curia Pompeia (the Senateβs temporary meeting hall) by 60 conspirators led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus.
The assassins believed that his death would lead to the restoration of the Roman Republic. However, the outcome of the βIdes of Marchβ was the opposite: Rome was plunged into a new wave of civil wars.
From these conflicts emerged Caesarβs great-nephew Octavian as Augustus. He became the first Roman emperor, thereby sealing the definitive end of the Republic β the very system the conspirators had actually sought to save.
A historical paradox: the murder of the man feared as a tyrant paved the way for the absolute rule of the emperors.

The basic principles of PSYOPS can be delineated as follows:
β’ Credibility. Using truthful and verified information as well as clear facts enhances the trust and credibility of the target audience. Conversely, the use of lies undermines trust and discredits the source through which information is delivered, which negatively affects the long-term effectiveness and success of the PSYOPS (even if it is subsequently conducted on the basis of truth).
β’ Orderliness, consistency and coordination. All PSYOPS products and materials are subject to an overall information strategy and a single strategic story. They are performed in a consistent and coordinated manner, both in command vertical and horizontal forces and units, regardless of the possible cultural and ethnic differences and characteristics of the target audience. Coordination of PSYOPS is carried out through information operations at the operational and tactical levels, while ensuring: their integration into the overall plan of information operations at the beginning of the planning phase; consistency with current military operations, the overall information strategy and the operational objectives of the commander. There is also ongoing coordination to prevent the disruption of PSO by the actions of other units, and vice versa. In addition, PSYOPS influence the development of an information strategy.
β’ Understanding. Target Audience Analysis is a key tool to reach target audience understanding. The effectiveness of PSYOPS depends on a comprehensive understanding of the TA, which includes historical, social and cultural aspects. Without this understanding, the success of PSYOPS is virtually impossible, and their conduct can lead to second- and third-order destructive consequences.
β’ Timeliness and Efficiency. PSYOPS materials are manufactured and disseminated in accordance with the timeframe set out in order to achieve the desired result according to the Commanderβs Plan (if necessary). The rapid development of success by PSYOPS based on situational capabilities is often vital, so advance planning, pre-testing and material approval procedures are required. In doing so, the Approval Institution/Person is appointed to the lowest possible extent to ensure the effectiveness of such capabilities.
β’ Evaluation. PSYOPS continuously evaluate the impact of PSYOPS on the target audience. Thus, prior to exercising any influence on TA, PSYOPS units receive standardized information on current models of TA perception, attitudes, and behavior. Such an assessment provides the necessary information on changes to the PSYOPS measures and is integrated into the overall operational evaluation process.
β’ Attribution. As to maintain credibility with NATO and PSYOPS units, responsibility for PSYOPS is usually assumed by NATO or other relevant partner country or partner organization.
