Am I Bigoted Against Atheists Or Socialists?
I want to clarify my position, having just removed text from a previous post that was not clear enough so I am doing a re-take.
I oppose the “it’s all the Jews” talk. More and more common lately. So I contrasted with:
When I look at global leaders, WEFers, architects of present day death and tyranny, I see only one common trait and that is not Jewishness but rather atheism, and/or maybe some form of occultism, who knows. But no Judeo/Christian ethics, anywhere in sight, with the WEF/Davos crowd, is my point. Look at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation home page and you will see how he throws his money around and spells out who he will NOT fund. Can you guess? Any organization with any religious beliefs or affiliations. That’s a tell. Also, he’s not Jewish. Nor is Fauci. Nor is Gallo. Nor is Biden. Obama. Trudeau. Schwab. And so forth.
I said I would try to move toward zero tolerance of abuse/degradation in comments section. I also said I might ban outright denial of communist mass atrocities, and/or Holocaust denial (not revisionism.)
This was immediately taken as: Celia is banning atheists, socialists and anybody who holds contrarian views.
I can’t work out how I could be quite so misunderstood, but the above is what I intended to say.
I know, love and respect many atheists and socialists. Well, not many, but some. Vladimir Bukovsky was an atheist, to cite just one.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
In James Corbett’s stunning and typically well researched 3 part series “How BlackRock Conquered the World,” he basically concludes that beyond Gates, beyond Rockefellers, beyond banksters, beyond WEF, as the largest asset manager in the world handling trillions of dollars, BlackRock essentially controls the global economy which in turn controls most all aspects of a society.
Corbett explains that interlocking connections with Vanguard and State Street (next largest asset managers in the world) enables BlackRock to have strategic controlling interests in just about every corporation in the world and in just about every government in the world.
Economist Ellen Brown stated that there was only one entity that could force the world to lock down instantly and simultaneously in 2020 and that was BlackRock.
In 2020, in a no-bid contract (!) BlackRock was given charge of the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve. https://cosmoschronicle.com/blackrock-has-taken-over-the-us-treasury-and-federal-reserve-bank/
Real people make up Blackrock's Board of Directors. Realizing they had to walk their talk, today's Board is woke-diversified. But below was the 2020 BlackRock Board. The composition exemplifies the "fearsome vultures" (Elizabeth Nickson’s words) BlackRock's Board had always been since its founding.

Gosh you do enter delicate territory! I respect that; And your authentic, inquiring content.
It's a shame atheism and socialism have come to be lumped in the same category. As a lifelong student of early Buddhism, that is, the Tripitaka, the earliest canonical works of the historical Buddha, this contemporary conversation can be seen through an entirely different lens. Was the buddha an atheist, a non theist? The short and simple answer is, yes. His teachings on cultivating awareness (sati), equanimity (upekhha) and compassion (karuna) are in no way connected to or contingent upon any belief in any deity. Does that qualify then as atheistic? Probably. But that's missing the point. It's just that in regards to developing these universal human qualities, from
the Buddhist perspective, theism is not required. The Buddha's teachings are not explicitly atheistic; theism is neither a requirement for or disqualification from practicing the dharma. Indeed today, people from many different religious backgrounds, believing in their different version of theism, also simultaneously practice the dharma, the Buddha's universal, non-theistic teachings. It is true that the Buddha was often critical of the theists of his time, but that was not in advocacy of atheism. I could go on, but my pasta is on the stove! Suffice to say, I know many many wonderful non theists who are deeply connected to the soul of the universe and are in no way advocates of the emptiness of the corrupted Davos Man we see painfully manifest today.
