On the Side of the Road documentary review: Justice is Blind so Just-Sit in the Sigh-Lense

 I'm watching "On the Side of the Road" - a secret documentary on the 1948 Israeli expulsion of the Palestinians. It's free on "Naretiv productions" website - what I find fascinating is that the "accepted" view is that Israeli was being attacked by the Arab states and being targeted with destruction to be forced out - when the exact opposite was true, as this documentary details. Noam Chomsky wrote a huge time, "The Fateful Triangle" documenting the truth as well but I could not read it all the way through - like reading a dictionary. 

Yes we humans are primates and controlled by our emotions like any other animal. Our original human culture from over 100,000 years ago - as the "radical anthropologists" and a few others document - was based on a spiritual healing female energy. This is quite amazing that it is explicitly acknowledged that it was FEMALE energy at the foundation that controlled our original human culture. 

Dr. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas' book "The Harmless People" documented this also - and her family lived with an uncontacted "original human culture" tribe - in the 1950s. But the other male anthropologists LIED about her book! Why? Because males as primates are hard-wired to lie. It's proven that left-brain dominance is based on lying. Why? 

the left-side vagus nerve does not connect to the right side of the brain but the right side vagus nerve DOES connect to the left side of the brain! haha. Music is right brain dominant. So real justice is based on music but even Western music is based on a lie. I call this the Liar of the Lyre - it is a lie about mathematics that we all learn in school - and hence the "exponential growth" model. 

I wrote my master's thesis as called "Epicenters of Justice" based on music theory and a "radical ecology." Mother Nature is taking revenge. Justice is Blind - as the Goddess Metis - and Justice is clever. 

So - yes Mother Nature is taking revenge - the "Levant" or Sun-Riser region as the concentrated origin of Wheat agriculture - was our FIRST ecological crisis documented by archaeologists - that around 8000 BCE created the first ecological refugees as the first white people fleeing into Europe as wheat farmers. The white skin proven to be from lack of vitamin D in the wheat monocultural farm diet. The forests were cut down to make Lime-ash cement to waterproof the housing and this, in turn, created desert drought. Pretty funny actually.

Yes wheat farming civilization is very clever but totally unjust. We are male primates going on rape warfare and so the females - just as with chimpanzees - the female chimps make spears to hunt meat so that the females are not dependent on the rapist males to "bring meat" to the females. 
 
Modern civilization is no different - the females have relied on clever technology in an attempt to protect from the male violence based on ejaculation addiction as a physiological feedback of the subconscious primate drives.
 
So then in the trauma there are repressed memories that us "modern" humans would prefer to KEEP repressed!! The Israeli invasion of Palestine proves this truth - there has been research about this - that the trauma is considered better to be kept repressed because the person can have deep dreamless sleep more necessary than bad dreams. 
 
And so then injustice becomes a deeply repressed and forgotten trauma that is then literally hard-wired into the physiology of males as patriarchy. The females are even trained to then identify with the male patriarchy - hence the "assistant" of Epstein and what about Harvey Weinstein's assistants - the Stockholm Syndrome of the Charlie Manson females, etc. 
 
Basically modern Western civilization is a genocidal cult with the same kind of psychotic primates running around thinking they're running a salvation Kool-aid Freedom camp like Jim Jones. haha.
 
Now we want to have a Missile Envy ejaculation into space to spread the Utopia. The Justice is the Return of the Repressed - it returns from the Silence and manifests as Mother Nature taking revenge.
 
Our civilization is very sensitive and built on a fantasy of deep repression of the subconscious - like a tension spring and the Justice is like a law of physics. Negentropy of Nature or reverse entropy will be the destruction of life its current form. 
 
But the Moon is what governs life on Earth through the water cycle - and ONLY humans have our blood life force synchronized as reproduction with the Moon as a psychic healing energy. ALL the other primates are NOT synchronized with Moon - Orangutans are close though - Professor Jeffrey Schwartz goes into the Orangutan Human connection in great detail.
 
Yes in the Forest OUR dominant perception is LISTENING but with our eyes open then 2/3rd of our brain's electromagnetic energy is used for vision!!! So just by closing our eyes and visualizing light internally and listening then we can reverse that external energy and restore the justice of Mother Nature. Justice is Blind but Listening is what resonates Justice. So I say Justice is to Just-Sit in the Sigh-Lense.
  Sure b/c ONLY in the US and New Zealand is Big Pharma allowed to do mass mind control prescription drugs as a consumer product. You know is wisdom instead of being smart? Not even shopping for a car and even better not even going to a doctor. I will tell you a secret. 
 
Ginger is proven to block the ACE-2 receptor that the spike protein needs to being to. So I buy ginger in bulk. The best medicine is preventative. Ginger also wipes out the flu and colds, etc. Western colonialism started out as based on the spice trade over 500 years ago and yet we still have not leveraged the true consumer value of spices!! haha. Yes I also down tea tree oil and clove oil. 
 
Better to be just preventative and take my own medicine and then just not go to any doctor. There's no law saying I have to go to the doctor. What's really creepy now though are those fascist "safety checks" by the cops where a family member can call up the cops to raid your private land. The cops then can bust into your house and kill you if you don't respond fast enough in a "healthy" enough "civilized" manner - and then the cops can just claim they were "afraid" and that you were an unhealthy terrorist, etc. 
 
We live in amazingly Orwellian times but then primates - male chimpanzee culture is like that also. The males go on their sneaky war patrols in silence then suddenly burst into mass violence. We are no different.

Chris Knight critiques debunks the Dawn of Everything book Graeber and Wengrow

 And of course they got a point. But of course OUR point is that their premise is wrong. What on Earth makes Wengrow and Graeber thinks that hunter-gatherers are SMALL SCALE? Why? What's small scale about the Bengele. When Jerome played music on a recorder from the other side of the continent, a thousand miles away, they immediately said YES that's US - these people must be US - they sing the same songs. And we know that hunter-gatherers have an extraordinary connection - when they party they bring in people from all over the place and they connect up extraordinary connections. And they say this among the First Nations of the Americas you could walk from one end of the Americas from far West to the far east - and whenever you connect you'd always find hospitality - you'd always be at home - because there's that connectedness and of course the same with the Songlines of Australian... But unfortunately they say that's NOT true of Hunter-gatherers - --- it only became true after 30,000 years ago - primarily a European thing - and it WASN'T true of AFrican hunter-gatherers - and they wouldn't even discuss.... 

It's just one of many many sad things....the book, somehow, completely LOSES IT.

 Jerome Lewis:

The singing that Chris was describing, that was really beautiful...one of the things that I noticed when we do engenge - or any of our rituals in the forest in the Congo is there a certain point when the singing is no longer acoustic. I mean it is acoustic of course but it's more like a wash that washes through your body and in that experience of the music washing through you, it one comes when you sing and sing and sing for hours on end like that ... but it's a very beautiful thing. And you start hearing the music everywhere when you walk around and it really does come into you. And when I feel that feeling - what the Bjembele describe - the spirit of the song is in you - that's what spirit is! There's always this difficulty of explaining this to Western people who've watched too many Disney shows - that actually spirit has no materiality - it's NOT something you see - it's something you feel, a presence that comes into you....

What Year did we cross the tipping point? As far back as the cognitive revolution more than 30,000 years ago? Or was it Fire use?

 3000 BCE to 5000 BCE most males were killed off by warfare

So there was a "genetic bottleneck" in humanity as metal weapons were produced....during the Bronze Age...

 Most of the male population across Asia, Europe and Africa seems to have died off, leaving behind just one man for every 17 women.

I guess the "New World" was sparred but there was a "genetic bottleneck" in the New World just due to the Bering Strait migration that caused a split into two small groups - one going to South America...

 "Our belief used to be that the center of humans leaving Africa was in East Africa. This paper focuses attention on southern Africa, and in particular to a group of hunter-gatherers, the Bushmen, who speak one of the Khoisan languages," said Feldman. These languages are characterized by the presence of "click" sounds.

https://news.stanford.edu/news/2011/march/feldman-africa-genetics-030411.html 

Contrary to the claim of GEE McPherSon - the "cognitive revolution" was well-before 30,000 years ago....

 So GEE McFearSun is claiming the Mt. Toba supervolcano created the loss of the stratospheric ozone 

the loss of stratospheric ozone...that occurred also in the past about 74000 years ago when the Toba supervolcano went off...
GEE McFearSun... But they cite just one paper that is just an analysis without the archaeological evidence while there is conflicting evidence stating otherwise:

 Supervolcano Not to Blame for Humanity's Near-Extinction

GEE McFearSun quote: starting around 15 minutes:

Some thousands of years ago, several thousands of years ago, so maybe when we started growing brains at scale is when we made the fundamental mistake and went into human population overshoot. Or maybe it's worse than that. Maybe it was during the cognitive revolution, more than 30,000 years ago when humans, for reasons that are still not explained, humans became the first species that were able to imagine things that they did not personally experience - even without being able to taste and smell and see things: Humans were able to imagine things. And one of the consequences of that cognitive revolution was humans viewed themselves as superior to other organisms; superior to other - up until the cognitive revolution that didn't happen. We viewed ourselves as just another in a vast array of species. But during the cognitive revolution, we somehow came up with the idea that we are SUPERIOR to all the other species on Earth and what that did was gave us the right to kill and eat other species.. it gave us the right, in our minds, to torture other organisms... And you know that was at least 30,000 years ago....

This is one of the reasons that I have been promulgating the message that only love remains for such a very long time: No shame and no blame...somebody who lived more than 30,000 years ago? That doesn't make any sense. 

Actually I just documented from the "Radical Anthropology" scholars that our original human culture - the Baka culture - did intentionally not overkill animals - and had a peaceful culture without war, with spiritual healing as the foundation....

So no the "cognitive revolution" was NOT the cause of the tipping point....

The "cognitive revolution" was way before 30,000 years ago - more like 100,000 years ago in the Baka-San Bushmen culture....

Apart from the click-speaking hunter-gatherer populations from South Africa and Tanzania, they also studied Pygmies and 21 agriculturalist populations. Statistical analysis showed that the Bushmen had the greatest genetic variation and are most likely to be the source population from which all other African populations diverged.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07164-9  (2018 study)

 These preliminary results suggest that more than 40,000 years ago, two of the groups — the San and the Baka Pygmy — were roughly twice the size of other ethnic groups present at the time, and that the San and Baka overlapped in central-eastern or southern Africa. Researchers presented these as-yet unpublished results at an American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) meeting in San Diego, California, last week.

 No I'm not going to "shame and blame someone who lived more than 30,000 years ago" as GEE McFEarSun claims because the San Bushmen-Baka Pygmy culture is based on protecting ecology!!

Statistical models of the data indicate that the Hadza and the Sandawe people of Tanzania shared an ancestor in the past 30,000 years.

The findings also suggest that there was intermingling during that period between the Hadza, the San in southern Africa and the Baka in central Africa, all of whom were traditionally hunter-gatherers. “I think we are seeing an ancient common ancestry between the major hunter-gatherer groups in Africa,” Tishkoff says.

Some of the findings align with signals of mixed Hadza and San ancestry in DNA extracted from 2,500- to 8,100-year-old human remains1, says Pontus Skoglund, a palaeogeneticist at the Francis Crick Institute in London. “I had been thinking about an interconnected hunter-gatherer population stretching from present-day Tanzania to South Africa.”

 fascinating.

 2020 study:

all Khoe-San groups display genetic diversity approaching the levels in other African groups and a reduction in effective population size starting around 100,000 years ago. Hence, all human groups show a reduction in effective population size commencing around the time of the Out-of-Africa migrations, which coincides with changes in the paleoclimate records, changes that potentially impacted all humans at the time.

 OK....

 we found the mean divergence time of all Khoe-San populations from all other groups to be within the 200–300 ka range

 The Mbuti then diverged around ∼220 ka, SD 10 ka (TT method: 215 ka, SD 9 ka), with the other population divergences occurring subsequently.

 WOW THE BAKA diverged from the Khoe-San around 220 ka?? amazing.

OK so I previously blogged on this:

https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2021/08/the-earliest-anthropogenic-landscape-in.html

However, ca. 85 ka, during a wet period following the
last prolonged arid period, the long-term relationship between climate
and vegetation was decoupled. Lake levels remained high for the last
85 kyr but species richness never recovered, and instead remained at
low values previously associated with the driest intervals of the last
600 kyr.

 Unlike their Middle Pleistocene counterparts, however,
these humans used burning to halt the typical cycle of forest
recolonization by producing large quantities of ignitions that were
outside the normal seasonality of lightning strikes.

However, there is evidence that at some point near the Middle-Late Pleistocene boundary humans under-went a threshold-crossing shift in their behavior that is detectably
different from what came before.
The sustained, transformative
effects of these behaviors on sculpting ecosystem functions extend
deep into the human past and the evolution of these systems are
inextricably bound to the evolution of our species itself.

So the question is - do we know if the San Bushmen still use fire to change their landscape?

The use of fire in group hunting is more common in the grassland savannah areas. Members of the group are positioned strategically around a patch of grassland known to contain wild animals. The area is then set on fire and animals are killed with cutlasses and clubs as they run out of the area to escape the fire.

https://www.fao.org/3/W7540E/w7540e0i.htm

The thing is that I have NEVER seen that method of hunting described being used by the San Bushmen!!!

 Afolayan, 1980; Martin. 1983

Those are the references. I think I read that Martin book already for a University class! It's just a general overview book. Calvin Martin I think.

 Keepers of the Game: Indian-Animal Relationships and the Fur Trade, Calvin Martin, 23 Nat. Resources J. 281 (1983).

Yeah - wouldn't expect that to be a good source of the Kalahari!!

So the other one?

The influence of seasonality on the distribution of large mammals in the Yankari Game Reserve, Nigeria

Yeah that's NOT going to be on the San Bushmen either.... Oops.

By converting the natural seasonal rhythm of wildfire into something more controlled, people can encourage specific areas of vegetation to grow at different stages. This so-called “pyrodiversity” establishes miniature habitat patches and diversifies opportunities for foraging, kind of like increasing product selection at a supermarket.
