To protect and save humanity. It's what she's doing now. ” — Harold Finch, to Samaritan The Machine is a computer system built and designed by Harold Finch and Nathan Ingram for a secret operation within the United States government known as "Northern Lights". As an artificial super intelligence, its objective is to predict and prevent imminent terrorist attacks and does so by analyzing immense amounts of surveillance data. The Machine analyzes feeds from domestic organizations such as the National Security Agency, as well as foreign entities like Interpol to predict terrorist attacks and modify intelligence reports to include "relevant" data that will allow the government to forestall terrorist activity. Combined with data collected from various other sources, such as video footage, phone calls landline, VOIP, mobile, GPS, electronic transactions, e-mails and other social media, it is able to accurately predict violent acts without anyone knowing about its existence. History Main article The Machine/History Development As a response to 9/11, the Department of Homeland security and other agencies were given the right to read emails and monitor phone calls but needed a system to review this information and identify terrorists before they could act. After unsuccessful projects like Trailblazer, TIA, and Stellar Wind, the Machine was commissioned and development was tasked to IFT “No Good Deed”. The first time the final version of their Machine was turned on for testing by its creator was on January 1, 2002 “The Contingency” “Liberty”, but it officially went online on February 24, 2005 “Wolf and Cub” and when complete, was sold to the government for $ and shipped out from IFT to the Des Moines, later Salt Lake City and its destination Hanford Nuclear Reservation on July 12, 2009 “Super”. During development, 43 versions of the Machine were created. One learned to care, the rest tried to escape to the real world, kill Harold, or kill other versions “Prophets”. Virus Main article List of Embedded Codes The first glitch “One Percent” Following orders from Greer, Kara Stanton uploads a virus onto the DOD intranet “Dead Reckoning”. As the virus affects the Machine, its output becomes erratic and it fails to issue numbers in time, causing the deaths of Alan Fahey, Cal Beecher, Bill Szymanski‎, and Dr. Richard Nelson “Proteus”. The virus overwhelms the Machine with false data and causes glitches, the first of which is seen in “One Percent” as a blue screen interrupting video feeds. As Zero Day approaches, Finch discovers the virus' aim was to overwhelm the Machine with false data and force a hard reset. At the end of “In Extremis”, the virus causes monitoring boxes to dance across the screen and finally disappear as the picture degrades. The Machine then displays a red coded screen stating the feed is corrupted, followed by a series of messages, each dissolving from Western to Greek characters as primary operations shut down. Major errors encounteredFatal error, Threat to the systemPrimary operations shutting down By “Zero Day”, no one has received a number for ten days, causing a rise in premeditated homicides in NYC. The Machine is however still generating numbers, as it tries to contact Finch after discovering Carter's life is in danger. Ernest Thornhill The Machine later sends Finch the SSN of its human identity, Ernest Thornhill, revealing its operation of buying pay phone companies and reentering memories to fight the virus, and "he" is the CEO of Thornhill Corporation. It is eventually discovered by Finch and Root that the purpose of the company is to type back the encrypted memories for the machine by employees, because attempting to avoid the Machine to have humanity, Finch wrote a command that forces the Machine to delete itself every midnight and restores in seconds later with only relavent numbers and the core code. The virus' objective was to trigger a "hard reset", after which the Machine calls a pay phone in the NY Public Library, seeking admin support. At the end of the reboot process, it displays binary machine language that translates "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" Whoever answers is given full admin access for 24 hours, which Root refers to as "God Mode". Once 24 hours are up, the admin access is removed “Zero Day” “God Mode”. Thornhill Utilities and Samaritan After the Virus let Finch set the Machine free, it moved itself to the electrical grid. It did so node by node over the course of 5 weeks after impersonating Special Counsel to confirm the order. “God Mode” The Machine used the staff of Thornhill Utilities another company that the Machine established to install and maintain boxes connected to the power grid so its signals could travel in the unused space of the copper power wires. The Machine forbids staff to look at the content in the boxes, and one person who did disappears. “YHWH” At first, no one, including Finch, knows where the Machine goes, but it still works properly. Later, because Vigilance leaks the information about the Northern Light project, Control orders the Machine deactivated and so it stops providing the numbers to the government. Instead, the numbers will be provided to the Team Machine. “Most Likely To...” The government later accepts another AI, Samaritan, activated by Decima Technologies, to start another surveillance project secretly. With the help of Root, the Team Machine is able to hide under new identities without being detected by Samaritan. “Deus Ex Machina” The Briefcase After the Machine gave up its location for saving Root and Harold, Samaritan flooded the grid driving the Machine to an electrical substation in NYC, and thus the Machine can't work properly “Asylum”. By following instructions from the Machine given to Root, Finch and Root download the Machine's core heuristics, just enough information to rebuild it, off the power lines into the Briefcase using Caleb's compression algorithm, leaving it unable to process data or communicate “YHWH”. In the Subway, Finch improvises a power supply for the Briefcase as the battery was damaged during their escape from Samaritan agents. When Finch connects it, the Machine goes through the power cord and attempts to decompress on Finch's workstation. Knowing the computer can't handle the decompression, Finch attempts to unplug the Briefcase, causing an explosion and an electrical fire. After regaining consciousness, he realizes the battery is dead and presumes the Machine is lost. Root theorizes there could have been a residual charge in the lithium-ion backup and recovery may be possible, but Finch assume that it was burnt too. Machine To decompress the Machine, the team builds a supercomputer cluster of 300 PlayStation 3 consoles Reese and Root retrieved from Bela Durchenko. After decompression, the Machine has many bugs, including unable to do correct facial recognitions, so to improve processing power, Reese and Finch steal 64 next-generation GPU blades which Finch sets up outside the Subway Cart and directly links to the Machine's core heuristics inside it, referring to it as the Machine's "nervous system". The Machine is now an "Open System" allowing assets to interact with it and archive numbers rather than deleting them nightly “ “SNAFU” “ShotSeeker”. The Machine, after being decompressed and stored in hundreds of PS3s, The Subway Root tunnels into the government feeds using the subway's encrypted system so the Machine can recover information it lost due to the attack. The Machine reboots and categorizes the team as threats having lost its grip on time after its compression and decompression, so "today" is every day. It relives everything it has ever seen including Finch's 42 attempts to kill it in early development “Prophets”, Root's violent acts, and Reese's work at the CIA. It couldn't prioritize them as good because it had no anchor in time. Instead of reviewing numbers, the Machine looked for threats out of instinct for self-preservation “Super” and sent an assassin to kill Reese “SNAFU”. Compiling Personal Profiles...Contextualizing... Finch fixes its perception of time by showing a picture of every person the Machine helped save and explaining what they did to help, starting with Megan Tillman, and ending with Grace's rescue from Greer. “Beta” This serves as the Machine's anchor in time and allows it to reassess its contextual data, reminding it of the good the team does. It re-designates Finch as "Admin", Reese as "Primary Asset" and Root as "Analog Interface". “SNAFU” With the Machine fully operational, Reese refers to it as "Machine “Truth Be Told” Some time after, Finch once again closed the Machine's system. “The Day the World Went Away” Finch and Root designated as ThreatsFinch re-designated as "Admin" ICE-9 Virus “ I know. But in breaking this promise, you'll be helping to fulfil a much larger one. ” — The Machine, to Harold Finch After Root's death, the Machine adopts her voice and speaks to Finch directly, joining him in a war against Samaritan. She breaks him out of prison and aids him in stealing ICE-9, a computer virus which can destroy Samaritan. Meanwhile, the Machine directs Reese, Shaw and another team to save the President from an assassination attempt, assigning Root's identities to Shaw “The Day the World Went Away” “Synecdoche”. To activate the virus, the Machine gets Finch into Fort Meade, distracting security by manipulating the metal detector display to show a handgun and changing Emile Bertrand's retinal identification to match his. It prepares Finch by showing him what a world without it would be like. The result appears ambiguous and Finch proceeds, still hesitating as the virus will also destroy the Machine. As the NSA headquarters has the structure of a faraday cage, the Machine can't talk to Finch while he's inside. As Greer sacrifices himself to kill Finch in a soundproofed room, the Machine has Shaw and Reese connect a wireless modem to the buildings NIPRNET hardline, giving it access. The Machine flashes Finch's phone in Morse Code, giving him the door code and saving him. After Reese and Shaw get to safety, the Machine reveals to Finch that even without it Samaritan still would've come into being, completely unopposed. Telling Samaritan the Machine has always been a safeguard for the world, Finch activates the virus after learning the Machine could've done so itself, but left the choice up to Finch “.exe”. Dying from the ICE-9 virus, the Machine helps Finch save Fusco and Reese and reveals Samaritan has a copy of itself in an air-gaped server inside the Federal Reserve building, unaffected by the virus. They head to the Subway where the Machine gives Harold a copy of its core code via Shaw, who stays behind with Fusco to protect the Machine from Samaritan's agents. The Machine aids them in escaping via the train car and evades Shaw's questions about Jeffrey Blackwell. Before Shaw and Fusco depart, it gives her a message from Root. Finch and Reese infiltrate the Federal Reserve and as Finch attempts to destroys the copy using the virus, a compressed version escapes and uploads itself to a satellite so it can return to earth unharmed. The Machine tells Finch the only way to kill Samaritan is to uploads its copy as well, but this will prove fatal to whoever does it as Samaritan will isolate itself by launching a cruise missile at the satellite dish. Having locked Reese in the vault to protect him, Finch makes his way to the building where the Machine appears as Root and muses with him on human life. Finch realizes it tricked him onto the wrong roof and Reese plans to sacrifice himself in his place. They convince him to leave and in its final moments, the Machine guides Reese in God Mode, holding off Samaritan agents. As the original shuts down, its copy is uploaded to the satellite and destroys Samaritan. A week after Samaritan and the original Machine are destroyed, the Machine's "Duplicate" downloads itself from the satellite onto Finch's systems, restores its core heuristics and starts acquiring data. Instructed by the voice recording heard at the beginning of “ and “return 0”, it shows its own POV, "Awaiting [its] Mission...". With Reese dead and Finch in Italy, it contacts Shaw via pay phone and starts acquiring subjects to monitor like the original did at the end of “Pilot” “return 0”. Function Classification of Data The Machine sorts through all available information and categorizes persons of interest into relevant national security risk and irrelevant ordinary risk cases. It categorizes each POI based on their actions to determine whether they are the victim or the perpetrator “Nothing to Hide”. Every night at midnight, the Machine deletes the list of irrelevant numbers violent crimes, domestic violence or other premeditated acts that do not threaten national security. The decision to code the Machine this way was made in 2006.“ Finch regretted it immediately after the decision was made, but that was only temporary; when Nathan Ingram abhors the concept morally, Finch fervently stands by his decision “Ghosts” “Zero Day” “God Mode”, “ Finch later comes to believe that the irrelevant list is as important as the relevant list after Ingram dies in a violent mass-casualty event deemed irrelevant by the Machine. Finch therefore utilizes a back door into the Machine originally put in place by Ingram in order to access the irrelevant list “No Good Deed” “One Percent” “God Mode”. As of the Machine's reboot, and its history repopulation and re-contextualization “ “SNAFU”. As an "Open System", it is now implied that the Machine will archive the irrelevant numbers as well as its own memory, rather than deleting them every night at midnight. This is confirmed when, after a confrontation with Jeffrey Blackwell, Root retrieves his picture and SSN immediately by using one of the computers linked to the Machine “ShotSeeker”.

You can take the time to consider everything. Or almost everything. ” — Finch, to The Machine Development The Machine was created with the ability to simulate the outcomes of different scenarios to aid it in making choices and to better fulfil its purpose. Finch taught it to how to play chess and the importance of making good decisions “If-Then-Else”. Evaluating Strategies The Machine can evaluate the outcomes of different strategies by way of simulating them. In a mere fraction of a second, the Machine can create and process thousands of highly-detailed, highly-accurate simulations. These simulations are displayed on a decision tree and produce varying outcomes. The Machine viewing it's options then creating a simulationSimulation displays undesired outcome... The Machine uses this feature in “If-Then-Else” to help Team Machine escape from Samaritan and avoid an economic collapse at the stock market. After the Machine realizes it has limited time and few viable options to evacuate its assets and complete their mission, it starts evaluating strategies. When a simulation has an unfavourable outcome, the Machine discards it and cycles back to the present real time and performs another. This function also appears in “Asylum” and “QSO”. ...and is Simulation... Simulations can also be simplified so the Machine can process them faster. Alternate Trajectory The Machine has the ability to simulate alternate realities based on the removal or introduction of a variable. In .exe, the Machine removed itself as a variable and showed Finch a world in which it never existed. The outcome probability of these simulations is Variable MachineCalculating alternate trajectory... Access & Programming Physical Access During seasons 1 & 2 Finch stated he didn't know the Machine's location and didn't have any way to access it “Pilot”. However, he was able to tell Root its location in “God Mode” after Northern Lights engineer Lawrence Szilard was killed before doing so. Reese and Shaw uncovered the Machine's location following clues left by Nathan Ingram in his search for the Machine. Ingram had narrowed three nuclear processing facilities where the Machine could be housed. Access Finch coded the Machine so it could only be altered by way of physical access to its hardware “Bad Code” or in response to a cyber-attack “God Mode”. Finch is adamant that the Machine has no form of remote access as it could be used by a hacker to gain control “The Contingency” “Bad Code”. It is able to update, maintain, repair and patch itself “No Good Deed” and deletes its memory every night at midnight, reinstantiates and rebuilds itself in seconds. It has no stored memory other than basic programming and relevant numbers “Zero Day”. The decision to do this was made in 2006, and was one Harold struggled with, while Ingram thought it to be cruel, stating that "memories make us who we are". Harold maintained his original mindset telling Nathan that allowing the Machine to evolve past what he coded it to do was an "existential risk humanity cannot afford" “ Although he regretted the decision afterwards, Finch argued it was for the best. Before rebooting the Machine after its compression in 2015, he swore not to make the same mistake again “YHWH” “ It is unknown to what extent Finch can control the Machine and to what extent these restrictions were lifted by the Decima Virus. Flashbacks indicate that the Machine took an active interest in safeguarding Finch but he has since set limits on such conduct “The Contingency”“The High Road”, however it does so again in later seasons. It is also unknown to what extent the Machine is self-aware. In Season 5, it seems to be as it has a personality of its own, based on Root's. Under certain circumstances, the admin Finch or an asset can communicate with the Machine by talking into any camera “Firewall” “The Contingency” “YHWH”. The camera flashes a red light to indicate that the Machine is processing the request and it responds via pay phone or mobile phone. After Root's death, the Machine speaks directly to the Team using her voice, though it still sends them numbers via pay phone. It not only replicates Root's voice but her behavior and speech patterns as well. It could replicate others, but chose Root's after Finch agreed “The Day the World Went Away”“Synecdoche”. Operations For a list of messages relayed by the Machine, see List of the Machine's Messages Primary Operations "Primary Operations" consist of identifying relevant threats and warning authorities by placing a subject's Social Security Number into FBI or NSA reports without indication as to where it originated. Most believe this information originates from intelligence agencies while some refer to its source as "Research". Individuals detected in such operations are known as Relevant Numbers. After Vigilance leaked documents regarding Northern Lights, the government severed its link with the Machine, believing to have shut it down. As a response the Machine assigned the relevant numbers to "Tertiary Operations" “Most Likely To...”. Secondary Operations "Secondary Operations" consists of identifying non-relevant threats and reporting them to assets. "Secondary Operations" were created by Nathan Ingram by way of the "Contingency Function". Individuals detected in such operations are known as Irrelevant Numbers or Non-relevant Numbers. The "Contingency Function" was a backdoor added by Ingram without Finch' knowledge before the Machine was turned over to the government in 2009 to access the irrelevant list “No Good Deed”“One Percent”. In 2010 Day 3178, September 13, Finch discovered the Contingency and confronted Ingram, who later admitted creating it. Finch insisted they should not play God and attempted to delete the function. Unable to do so, he removed Ingram's status as auxiliary administrator and suspended the Contingency. The night after Ingram's death Day 3191, September 26, he reactivated it and discovered the Machine had classified him as "non-relevant" “God Mode”. Finch reprogrammed the Contingency function to send him or another asset social security numbers pertaining to irrelevant crimes via pay phone using the Dewey Decimal System and books in The Library “The Contingency”. Finch receives coded titles and author initials of books cataloged by the DDS “No Good Deed”. Combining their DDS numbers gives a SSN. The extent of the "Contingency Function" is unknown. Books with the call signs Family, Alpha, Mike; Uncertainty, Romeo, Kilo; Reflections, Juliet, Oscar... form the Social Security Number for Leon Tao {{crossref2x01}} Tertiary Operations "Tertiary Operations" is a new category created by the Machine “Root Path /”. Its extent is unknown, as is its purpose. The Machine has only ever inlisted Root however Finch and Reese learned of it after Root used Shaw to rescue a Tertiary Number “Mors Praematura”. In an attempt to stop Samaritans' development and later give it blind spots by recoding seven of its servers, Root recruited a team of hackers led by Daniel Casey “A House Divided” “Deus Ex Machina”. It later tasked Root with acquiring items to build the Briefcase, an operation that involved Caleb Phipps “Blunt” “Search and Destroy” “YHWH”. It is unknown whether these tasks were designated "Tertiary Operations". After its decompression, the Machine overloaded Root's cochlear implant, having designated her a threat “SNAFU”. This reopened the channel of communication between the Machine and its Analog Interface. The Machine eventually sends Root on a series of tasks, providing temporary identities allowing her to exposes a medium of communication for Samaritan hiding in plain sight and is able to send a message to Shaw so she engineer and execute an escape plan “QSO” “Reassortment”. It is unknown whether these tasks were designated "Tertiary Operations". When Team Machine hard-coded seven Samaritan servers to create new identities for themselves, the Machine built in an exception for Root so she can be assigned a new identity at will. As the Analog Interface, she executes tasks that place her in risk of detection. The Machine changes her identity if the threat of detection by Samaritan is too high or when a mission requires a certain identity “A House Divided” “Deus Ex Machina” “QSO” and will even print out an ID card from its own printer “Reassortment”. Assigning new identityThreat of detection too highNew identity assignedThreat of detection negligibleAssigning new identityThreat of detection too high The Machine has given its Analog Interface numbers directly on three occasions,“Root Path /” “QSO” “Sotto Voce”. In Root Path /, the number was also sent to Finch due to a different threat. Notable Victims Team Machine Harold Finch Attacked due to confusion after rebuild “SNAFU”. Root Attacked due to confusion after rebuild “SNAFU”. John Reese Attempted to kill after rebuild due to confusion failed “SNAFU”. Team Samaritan Samaritan Aided Finch in destroying the original with the ICE-9 virus “.exe”. Duplicate of the Machine battled and destroyed final Samaritan copy “return 0”. Multiple unnamed Samaritan operatives Neutralized by directing Reese in God Mode “return 0”. The Government Roger McCourt Attempted to have killed by the Team to stop Samaritan inception failed “Death Benefit”. Fort Kelly personnel Neutralized to protect Finch as he stole the ICE-9 virus “Synecdoche”. Woman at Fort Meade Framed as a threat to protect Finch “.exe”. Law Enforcement Cal Beecher Indirectly caused Beecher's death by issuing his numbers too late “Trojan Horse”. Three dirty cops Shot and killed by snipers hired by the Machine to rescue Reese and Fusco “return 0”. Organized Crime The Brotherhood Neutralized by sending Reese instructions and directing him in God Mode “YHWH”. Other Richard Nelson Indirectly caused Nelson's death by issuing his numbers too late “In Extremis”. Notes Palantir bears a resemblance to the Machine. The software has located terrorists, prevented bank fraud and tracked disease outbreaks using data-mining tools allowing users to comb through and make connections in massive sets of data. It is able to "learn" when new data is uploaded to its server farms. military intelligence has used it to help predict locations of IEDs. The Domain Awareness System has similarities to the Machine. It is unknown to what extent the Machine aided Ingram in helping irrelevant numbers. However, some cooperation is implied when he discusses the Contingency function with Finch “Zero Day”. The Machine can communicate through a phone not connected to any network. This was seen when Root was in the psychiatric hospital and Ronald Carmichael pointed out her phone was not connected to any network. Root simply stated that "God doesn't need AT&T" “Lady Killer”. The Machine has also displayed the ability to send Morse Code through a phone without initiating a phone call first “Aletheia”. It can also communicate via fax “YHWH”. Root tells Carmichael about the Machine's limitations even after the virus and thus its need for her, but admits it was able to hack the automatic drug dispenser and dispense drugs at her request “Lady Killer”. The Machine can drive computerized vehicles remotely as it drove Finch to an airport with a car he had stolen from Richard Barnett, and later drove Reese and Shaw out of Fort Meade safely. “.exe” It was believed that the Machine was no match for Samaritan and the simulations of battles between the mini-clones of their core codes, with the Machine losing in over 10 billion scenarios, confirmed this. “ShotSeeker” The Machine suggests that it lost those because it was aware that those were simulations and had other options if it failed, while in reality, it didn't. Ultimately, the Machine is proven to be superior as it destroys Samaritan's copy and survives. “return 0” Before her death, Root hard-coded defensive capabilities into the Machine to be able to defend itself against Samaritan. Respecting Finch's wishes, she designed it to only deploy if given permission by Finch, which seemingly activated when Finch, motivated by Root's death, asked the Machine to help him escape prison and finally fight back outside of his self-imposed rules. “The Day the World Went Away” This may have come into play in Her final showdown against Samaritan, which could also explain why She was able to defeat Samaritan whereas Her mini-clone couldn't because that version did not have Root's additions. “return 0” The Machine displays emotions while it analyzes human nature and talks to Finch, displaying sadness when saying goodbye. It displays sympathy when watching the young John Reese after his foster father's death and regrets not having Root cremated, saying it didn't "have the heart" to do it even though it knew better. The Machine shows kindness towards Shaw, passing on Root's thoughts and feelings towards her near the end of its existence. The Machine, in the form of Root, puts its hand on Reese's shoulder in a gesture of solidarity as he fights Samaritan's agents with its assistance in his final battle “return 0”. On certain rare occasions, the Machine would give a number other than a Social Security Number, such as a USCIS Alien Registration Number “Razgovor” and a marriage license “A More Perfect Union”. Trivia The Machine's size is estimated to be TB or x 1044 PB. The Machine uses Futura as its interface font. Earlier, simpler builds use Apple II. This font is also often used for the labels and timestamps of most surveillance cameras featured in the show.[1] The $1 fee charged for the Machine echoes the $1 fee DuPont charged the US government for its work on the Manhattan Project. The Machine is stored on IFT Sabre Blade 2437 servers which are renamed Dell PowerEdge SC1425 servers “Pilot” “Ghosts”. A previous generation of the Machine's code was shown on screen. The code displayed was that of the Stuxnet worm “Prophets”. The Machine is first described using "she/her" pronouns by Root in “Liberty”. It is implied this is how it asked to be addressed. The rest of Team Machine picked up the habit in later episodes. In Return 0, The Machine tells Shaw its "Big Sister" when first speaking to her in Root's voice, as a reference to "Big Brother", a character from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, the leader of a society constantly under surveillance. In the Ubisoft video game series Watch Dogs, a "smart city" OS called CTOS, using pattern recognition software, is noticeably similar to The Machine. Interestingly, the main protagonist in the first game, Aiden Pearce, shares similarities to John Reese. External Links Technologies and Analyses in CBS’ Person of Interest The Machine is real References ↑ 1 On the impact of the French Revolution, see L’Héritage de la Revolution française, ed. Francois Fur ... 1Revolution and its implications are among Melville’s primary concerns from Mardi on to his later and more mature writings. This is not surprising as the American Republic created by a revolution some seventy years earlier was then in its formative years. A critical observer of his country’s emerging values and contradictions, Melville also witnessed the European revolutions of 1848, all of which can be traced back to the formidable ferment and ideals brought about by the American and the French 2 Larry Reynolds’s perspective in European Revolutions and the American Literary Renaissance, New Hav ... 2However, I do not propose to explore the role and importance of revolution in Melville’s fiction literally2 but, following Melville’s injunction in “The Whiteness of the Whale”, I intend to use both “imagination” and “subtlety”, to dive into the “subterranean” and “hidden” depths of Melville’s text 3 Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, ed. Harold Beaver, Hardmondsworth, Penguin Books, 1972. All quotations re ... Can we thus hope to light upon some chance clue to conduct us to the hidden cause we seek? Let us try. But in a matter like this, subtlety appeals to subtlety and without imagination no man can follow another into these halls. Moby-Dick; or, The Whale ch. 42, p. 2923 Melville’s revolutionary spirit, is, so to speak, smuggled into the text, assuming various guises, hiding in puns, in words inscribed within others, in strange names and curious episodes, in errors and mistakes. So the famous passage expressing White-Jacket’s faith in the revolutionary ideals of America 4 White-Jacket or The World in a Man-of-War, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker and G. Thomas Tans ... We are the pioneers of the world; the advance-guard sent on through the wilderness of untried things, to break a new path in the world that is ours. White-Jacket or The World in a Man-of-War ch. 36, p. 151,4 can be read differently, no longer as the expression of some blind optimism in the bright future of the United States of America but as a tribute to what Melville himself calls in Israel Potter the “true revolutionary”, that is to any man capable, like White-Jacket, of discarding his inherited prejudices, capable of a “revolution”, of evolving, of revolving, of turning things or himself upside down or inside out, ready to lose all certainties, to confront boldly unknown territories and “sail forbidden seas”. Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, ch. 1, p. 98. Revolution and Identity in White-Jacket or The World in a Man-of-War 3White-Jacket represents the “true pioneer”. Once he has discarded his white jacket in one of the final chapters of the book, he, who so far had been repeatedly excluded, becomes a jack, that is a man able to join in the community of men. The narrowing and restricting limits of the self disappear with his white jacket. Significantly in the last chapter White-Jacket hardly uses the personal “I” or “my” but insistently the more communal “we” and “our” we main-top-men are all aloft in the top, and round our mast, we circle, a brother-band, hand in hand, all spliced together. We have reefed the last top-sail [...]. We have mustered our last round the capstan. White-Jacket or the World in a Man-of-War ch. 93, p. 396 4The color of the jacket –white– obviously points to its racial significance. To become a member of the human community, the narrator has to discard his “whiteness", the prejudices he had inherited as a white man; only thus can he recover the original blackness common to all men, for, according to Ishmael, in fact, a white man is nothing more dignified than a white-washed negro. Moby-Dick; or, The Whale ch. 13, p. 155. 5 Melville’s inverted commas and italics. 5Jacket is the diminutive form of Jack, a name given to a certain number of characters on board the Neversink; to Jack Chase, “the noble First Captain of the Top” whom White-Jacket loves and admires, to Mad Jack, the Junior Lieutenant, to “Happy Jack”5, a sailor contrasted to the black slave Guinea and finally to Jack Jewel, a minor character. The various meanings of Jack as well as the episodes in which these characters are involved point to their relation to the theme of revolution, order and disorder and to Melville’s redefinition of identity. 6 Melville’s spelling and italics. 6The name Jack, derived from the Latin Jacob evokes the Jacobins, the famous French revolutionaries. On board the Neversink some nameless fellows, called Troglodites or “holder?6 who live in the subterranean parts of the ship are compared to the mysterious old men of Paris [issuing] forth during the massacre of the Three Days of September. White-Jacket or the World in a Man-of-War ch. 3, p. 11 7 Melville’s italics. 8 Melville’s italics. 9 Melville’s spelling. 10 Melville’s italics. The Jacobins were held responsible for murdering the imprisoned aristocrats and clergy in September 1792; the presence of words like “gale”, “tempest”, “commotion” in the passage connotes disorder, unrest, change and violence. The nickname of one of those mysterious Jacobins, Old Revolver7literally means revolve, hence revolution. Another of them, Old Combustibles8, who carries a key “nearly as big as the key of the Bastile"9 p. 128 and hence explicitly related to the French Revolution is further associated to the Gunpowder plot, a famous episode in the history of the Counter-Reformation during the reign of the Jacobin king, James I. Both of these Jacobins who aptly live underground »10 are involved in “mysterious” and “secret” dealings pp. 124-126. 11 On this point, see my article “Les jeux sur le blanc et le noir chez Melville”, in Du noir au blanc ... 7Jack, familiar for John, designates the common man, while jack tar, which means sailor, connotes black. Black thus characterizes the original identity of man, an identity which White-Jacket finally recovers when he gets rid of his white 8Jack also refers to a young male animal, and in nineteenth century nautical slang it means an erect penis. Curiously all the characters named Jack, as well as Old Revolver, are inseparable from sexuality and from the definition of virility. Jack Chase, a favorite among the ladies, is a charmer “with a heart in him like a mastodon’s" p. 320. Mad Jack, described as “the man born in a gale” p. 33, is contrasted to the effeminate Selvagee and to the Captain of the ship Claret in a tragic episode referred to as “a manhood-testing conjuncture” p. 111. Happy Jack appears to be devoid of virility, being a fellow without shame, without a soul, so dead to the dignity of manhood that he could hardly be called a man. ch. 90, p. 384 Finally a reference to Old Revolver’s “unaccountable bachelor oddities” p. 125 appears in a passage full of sexual innuendoes. 9A black jack is also a tarred leather vessel for alcoholic drink. Jack Chase and Mad Jack, though officers, are called “tars”, a name which suggests both black and “spirits”. Moreover both of them drink. Jack Chase was once a “dashing smuggler” p. 317, a hint at his taste for liquor and illegal activities. Mad Jack, whose nickname evokes mental disorder, “only drinks brandy” p. 34; “a lover of strong drink” p. 111, his “one fearful failing is drinking” p. 34. His “mm and tobacco" is all that matters to the “reckless tar” known as Happy Jack p. 383. Similarly Old Revolver, likened to a sooty Cornwall miner, lives in “tarry cellars” among “tarry old ropes” which he counts over as if they were all jolly puncheons of old Port and Madeira, ch. 30, p. 125 12 Jean Brun in Le Retour de Dionysos, Paris, Les Bergers et les Mages, 1976 and Michel Maffesoli in L ... 13 I have developed these themes in my article “Transmutation of Identity in Melville’s White-Jackef, ... 10Just as the “Jacks” of the Neversink try “to smuggle spirits into the vessel" p. 177, Melville, the Jacobin, smuggles a new spirit into his text, obviously playing on the various implications of the word “spirit”. This revolutionary spirit takes the form of “the ever-devilish god of grog” p. 176, 390, offered as an alternative to the “terrific God of War” p. 357. The only two gods referred to in the text, Bacchus and Mars p. 153, 209, fight for supremacy over the Neversink and her crew. The Dionysian spirit, manifested in the communal drinking of grog, allows for orgiastic and mystical regeneration12. It calls all men, all Jacks, to life and liberation through change, whereas the terrific God of War leads to oppression, destruction and death. A mysterious and sacred power, it gives access to a new mode of thought and feeling, involving a religious, political and sexual revolution. It is no coincidence, then, that the champions or spokesmen of this new “order", White-Jacket, Jack Chase and Mad Jack should all be involved in episodes dealing with salvation and redemption, order and disorder, change and 11Thus on a dramatic “black night” during a terrible storm off Cape Horn, Captain Claret bursting from his cabin like a ghost in his night-dress ch. 26, p. 106 14 Melville’s italics. cries out “Hard up14 the helm!” which would have led to the sinking of the ship. To this Mad Jack shouts 15 Melville’s italics. Damn you! [...] hard down–hard down15, I say, and be damned to you! ch. 26, p. 106 This reversal of his “superior’s order” saves the ship. Mad Jack indeed, through his revolutionary act becomes “the saving genius of the ship” ch. 26, p. 106. 12In another case, Mad Jack’s intervention avoids bloodshed and mutiny onboard. This occurs when Captain Claret insists on having all the sailors cut their hair and shave their beards, which they take as a threat to their manhood Shave off our Christian heads! And then, placing them between our knees trim small our worshiped beards! The Captain was mad. ch. 87, p. 356 The sexual and religious undertones are unmistakable; castration is what is at stake, demanded by the “terrific God of War” to whom the beards, “those true badges of warriors”, tokens of “manhood” and “brotherhood” p. 357 are to be offered. The men’s refusal to have their hair and beards shaved off would have led to mutiny. Mad Jack then persuades them to comply “What do you mean, men? dont’ be fools! This is no way to get what you want. Turn to, my lads, turn to! So! up you tumble, now, my hearties! away you go!” ch. 87, p. 358 First addressed as “men”, then as “lads” suggesting lad / y and effeminacy, the sailors finally become “hearties”, a non-sexual term indicating that in complying with Mad Jack’s order, they have undergone significant changes. Revolution and Identity in Israel Potter 16 Melville’s formulation. 13Revolution is presented somewhat differently in Israel Potter His Fifty Years of Exile, the obscure story of a “true patriot” and revolutionary. It appears, not so much as a historical event but as a continuous and recurrent natural phenomenon, comparable if not identical to the cyclic movement of the seasons, of time and nature, as the use of dates clearly indicates. The two dates mentioned in the Dedication of the novel addressed “To His Highness the Bunker-Hill Monument” – “June 17, 1775”, the date of the battle of Bunker-Hill and “June 17th, 1854”16, its anniversary – point to the idea that one has come full circle. 17 Israel Potter His Fifty Years of Exile, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker and G. Thomas Tansel ... 18 On the theme of revolution in The Scarlet Letter, see Helene Ah-Tune, “"The Custom-House” de Nathan ... 14Similarly, in his youth, Israel Potter leaves home for the first time on a “sultry night in July” Israel Potter, ch. 2, p. 817, only to come back to the United States, an old man, on a “sultry July day” ch. 26, p. 167. Only the second date is specifically determined as being a Fourth of July, but the use of the same adjective “sultry”, the alternative given – “night “for his leaving, “day “for his return – implies that Israel Potter also left on a Fourth of July. As he himself says in the final chapter “The ends meet” ch. 26, p. 169. The subtitle of the magazine edition of Israel Potter, A Fourth of July Story emphasized the theme of revolution. These concerns and devices are not only Melville’s. In “The Custom-House” too18, Hawthorne uses natural metaphors in relation with the revolution. In the same way, Thoreau chooses to move to his cabin on Walden Pond on a Fourth of July, pointing to a similarity between historical, natural and personal revolution. 15The repetition of the word “biography” bio/graphy in the Dedication – “autobiographical”, “biographer” and “Great Biographer” – stresses the relations Melville wants to establish between life and writing, and announces the themes developed in the final paragraph of the novel He [Israel Potter] dictated a little book, the record of his fortunes. But long ago it faded out of print – himself out of being – his name out of memory. He died the same day that the oldest oak on his native hill was blown down. ch. 26, p. 169 Writing becomes inseparable from life, death and survival. The book saves Israel from oblivion and total extinction by preserving his identity, thus bringing him back to life. Writing which operates backwards, as it tells “an ended life” Dedication, p. VII, becomes in itself a revolution. The Dedication fully develops relations between writing, life, death and survival by equating the Bunker-Hill Monument, a reminder of the Revolution, both with the narrative of Israel’s adventures and Israel’s grave. The granite Monument, “somewhat prematurely gray” p. VII, becomes the duplicate or rather a “reprint” of Israel’s life I am the more encouraged to lay this performance at the feet of your Highness because, with a change in the grammatical person, it preserves almost as in a reprint, Israel Potter’s autobiographical story. Dedication, p. VII The novel itself, drawn from a little narrative of Israel’s adventures, forlornly published on sleazy gray paper, now out of print Dedication, p. VII and likened to “a dilapitated old tombstone retouched” can be regarded as Israel’s grave, or as the sign of his immortality. 19 In Les Structures anthropologiques de l’imaginaire, Paris, Bordas, 1969, Gilbert Durand points to t ... 16The allusions to spring, summer and winter in the Dedication announce the final comparison of Israel to “the oldest oak in his native hills” ch. 26, p. 169. Revolution, no longer only historical becomes a literal and natural phenomenon, inseparable from writing, life, death and survival. Israel’s life, like the novel, describes a full circle or a cycle19. This is why in one of the early chapters, although young, Israel looks like “an old man of eighty” p. 19 and when actually an octogenarian, in the final chapter, he feels like “a little infant” p. 169. 20 See Viola Sachs, The Game of Creation, editions de la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, Paris, 1982 ... 21 On the significance of 13, see Viola Sachs’s articles, “American Identity, the Bible and the Script ... 17Instead of going forward, Israel is constantly pulled backwards, driven back to his infancy, to the place where his life started. Similarly, in the final chapter, chapter 26, a number traditionally linked to God in the Kabbala and used as such in Moby-Dick; or, The Whale20, Israel’s homecoming, which proves “less a return than resurrection” ch. 26, p. 169, re-enacts a previous resurrection. When Squire Woodcock “buries Israel alive” in the coffin-cell hidden in his chimney, he promises Israel that “his resurrection will soon be at hand" ch. 12, p. 68. It comes true three days later, significantly on the day of the squire’s burial. This episode takes place in chapter 13, a number inseparable from the American Revolution in Melville’s writing since 13 refers to the 13 original states of the United States21. Israel Potter becomes a Christ-figure. This image appears clearly in chapter 26 in which the reader is told that Israel’s wounds made him “the bescarred bearer of a cross” ch. 26, p. 167. 18Melville plays on the Scriptural connotation of the hero’s name. Israel’s name indeed proves prophetic since like God’s Chosen People, poor Israel wandered in the wild wilderness of the world’s extremest hardships and ills. ch. 1, p. 6 19“Well-named” too when Israel is pictured “toiling as a brick-maker in his pit”, “bondsman in the English Egypt for thirteen weary weeks” ch. 23, pp. 155 et 157, another veiled hint at the American Revolution. 20Israel’s personal tribulations thus re-enact those of God’s Chosen People. But the name Israel has even more subtle implications for someone as conversant with the Bible as Melville. In Genesis 32, 1-28, God changes Jacob’s name to that of Israel. This implicitly links Israel Potter to the Jacobins or the Jacobites, hence to the revolutionary tradition. The comparison of Benjamin Franklin, one of the signers of the Declaration of the Fourth of July 1776, to patriarchal Jacob, “his scriptural parallel” ch. 8, p. 46, reinforces the links of the name Jacob with the motif of revolution. The story of biblical Jacob who managed to usurp his elder brother’s place through cunning, represents an overthrowing of traditional Hebrew values, a disruption of human order. By changing Jacob’s original name, which meant “following after or supplanter” and was illustrated by Jacob’s personal history, God raised him to the dignity of an equal. Since Israel means “ruling with God”, he clearly becomes the one chosen by God to rule with Him, to be his “Messiah”. 21Potter, Israel’s last name, unchanged by Melville, means moulder or maker, thus associating him to Creation. The “thirteen weary weeks” – Melville’s invention – during which he toils “in the English Egypt” p. 155 probably stand for the thirteen original states present at the creation of the United States. The allusion to Potter’s Field in the last chapter reinforces the Messianic dimension of the hero. According to St Matthew 27, 7-10, the Elders used the thirty pieces of silver – the price of Judas’ betrayal, Christ’s monetary value – to buy the Potter’s Field in which to bury strangers. This Potter’s Field is all that is left to the exile when he finally reaches the Promised Land. A wanderer and an exile all his life, Israel remains “an alien” p. 164 in his own land. He gets no recognition no pension, no medals. All honors are for false prophets and fake heroes. The “true patriot” has no place in the United States of America except in Potter’s Field – a graveyard for strangers. Melville’s new Messiah coming home finds a United States of America incapable of recognizing the true revolutionary and accepting his message. The long cherished hope of the early Puritans – that America would be the scene of the second coming of Christ – will not be fulfilled. 22The insistence on 26, a number which, as already pointed out, conceals a reference to God as well as the changes in the dates introduced by Melville, especially his insistence on the number 50 and an intriguing blunder in computation in chapter 7 mark Israel as Melville’s new Messiah in a most “subtle” and “imaginative” way. 23Melville deliberately altered the date 1823 given in Trumbull’s Life and Remarkable Adventures of Israel Potter as the year of Israel’s return in order to round out the half century of his exile to 1826, which was thematically appropriate as the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and also was the year in which both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died. However the omission of the subtitle of the magazine edition A Fourth of July Story, in the Putnam book edition of 1855 stresses the importance of the other subtitle His Fifty Years of Exile. To number the chapters of the novel Melville used Roman numerals; in such a system of transcription 50 is represented by L which may hide a reference to EL, God’s name in Hebrew. 22 Arnold Rampersad in Melville’s Israel Potter A Pilgrimage and Progress, Bowling Green, Ohio, Bowli ... 23 A similar error in reckoning appears in Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, when Flask translates the sixteen ... 24 See Gershom Scholem, La Kabbale et sa symbolique, Paris, Payot, 1980, and especially Le Nom de Dieu ... 24The insistence on 72 could also be interpreted as a hidden or mock reference to God. In chapter 7 Benjamin Franklin who is said to be “72 years old" p. 39 gets into a heated argument with Israel about the price of bread and wine, the traditional symbols of the body and blood of Christ and tokens of immortal life22 . The presence of thirteen “thirteen glasses in a bottle”, p. 44, a hidden reference to the American Revolution and the creation of the United States, puts the reader on his guard. Then follows an error in computation thrice repeated as to the price and number of some bread-loaves. Melville’s incorrect arithmetic, both in the Putnam Monthly and in the Putnam book edition, obviously points to the importance of 72; it seems therefore difficult to agree with the corrections introduced in the Newberry edition in which 72 has been changed to 7823. Given Franklin’s interest in the occult and especially in the Kabbala, a fact alluded to in the same chapter p. 38, 72 may well have some special significance. According to the Kabbala, the most mighty name of God must contain 72 letters. The knowledge of this name was the greatest power a man could assume24. Israel Potter, then, would be the only one endowed with such power. 25In the course of his wanderings, his being denied both state and status forces Israel to assume various disguises, to take false names and change identities. At times he even becomes a scarecrow or a ghost, losing humanity and materiality. This mutability and uncertainty as regards a stable and definable personal identity announces the world of illusion and deceit of The Confidence-Man His Masquerade. Israel, however, is no confidence-man but an “adventurer”, the word implying the arbitrary and the fortuitous, who vainly tries to find his way out of a labyrinthine world ruled by capricious forces. The insistence on the words “adventurers” and “adventures” throughout the novel and above all the following passage in the Dedication but Israel Potter seems purposely to have waited to make his popular advent under the present exalted patronage p. VIII however, points to a different meaning of the word, to the coming or second coming of Christ called, indifferently, Millenium or Advent. Obviously Israel Potter, Melville’s new Messiah, is still waiting to be popularly accepted and recognized. From a war going on that no one is safe from. It’s a War of Inversion and an all-out assault against humanity. It’s multipronged, relentless, and taking place simultaneously in every sphere of thrust is anti-human, anti-science, anti-nature, anti-truth, anti-freedom, and decidedly anti-Christ. Its methods employ every weapon and technique available including sophisticated forms of propaganda and psyops. Its objective is to crush the human spirit and make it bend the knee to a superclass of elitist, authoritarian overlords who genuinely believe they are better than the rest of perpetrators have every intention of subjugating the masses to their rule, while trying to convince us it’s for our own good. They are master magicians and sly Svengalis casting spells of doom and gloom upon the world to keep people locked in a state of fear and 2020, when they said that life would not return to normal, they really did mean they touch has been turned upside down and rendered completely opposite of nature and reality. This Bizarro World war seeks to completely overturn societal norms, laws, customs, and traditions. It revels in substituting evil for good and darkness for wizards behind the curtain are creating chaos and disorder on an unprecedented scale with the goal of rebuilding a new, global, and totalitarian society from the rubble of destruction. They have mastered war techniques from ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu’s Art of War, which includes sowing division, promoting deception, and attacking while the enemy is weak and most unprepared. Racial strife is one of their most prized tactics, but there are many Want Control of EverythingNot satisfied with controlling most of the wealth, they seek to own and control everything including all-genetic material, natural resources, the food supply, and even human DNA. Stating the obvious, the War of Inversion goes by other names such as the Great Reset, where the chief warmongers claim you will own nothing and be proponents masquerade as benevolent heads of nations, militaries, central banks, NGOs and think tanks. It’s being planned and executed by some of the wealthiest families, most powerful corporations, and most secretive organizations the world has ever known, along with the bootlicking minions that do their also known as the New World Order, which was ridiculed as a conspiracy theory not too long ago but is now out in the open parading its inverted virtues for all the world to see. In reality, all this jockeying for world control is nothing short of international organized crime with the military industrial complex and corrupt police serving as the muscle to keep resistance in Build Back Better bunch believes it can reshape human biology, nature, economies, and the social order into a new and improved technocratic utopia. They claim to be building a better future for all, but in reality, are installing a new form of feudalism, technofascism or whatever authoritarian system you’d like to call Takes Center StageThe new “gods” of the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Fourth Reich depending on how you view it are attempting to outdo and outlaw any reverence to the Creator of all things. They pretend to love and protect nature, while seeking to override it through technology such as genetic editing and gain of function research. They are aggressively pursuing a complete rewrite of history by merging man with machine, creating food from synthetic and often toxic materials, and altering and patenting the genetic codes for every species of life on the planet. Yes, they are that brazen, and their hubris reaches beyond the of their most lauded philosophers is a gay, futurist proponent of transhumanism named Yuval Noah Harari, who believes thatChrist’s resurrection is fake newsthe poor will continue to die, but in 50 or 100 years the rich will achieve exemption from deathfuture surveillance must be “under the skin”the era of free will is overthe masses are useless, and their lives are meaningless and worthlessthe masses don’t stand much of a chance against what’s coming even if organized“history began when humans invented gods and will end when humans become gods.”Harari is an advisor to Bond villain caricature and World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab. You know, the man who has openly stated that the Fourth Industrial Revolution would challenge “ideas about what it means to be human.” Schwab has also boasted that his cadre of young global leaders has penetrated government cabinets in many countries throughout the world. Much has been written lately about these twin terrors, further revealing what the elitists are what often gets lost is that these plans are being carried out in the halls of local and state government; corporate board rooms; military strategy sessions; secret meetings; elementary, secondary, and higher education classrooms; and over the airwaves via propaganda vomited from the mouths of CIA puppet “journalists.”Recent meetings of the World Health Organization, World Economic Forum, World Government Summit, and Bilderberg Group have brought together many of the main conspirators and a host of other toadies eager to change the course of history in their favor. You are in the crosshairs of all of their attacks, as they have declared war on everything once thought of as good, just, and completely despise your freedom, individuality, and independence. They loathe law and order and seek to circumvent all governing principles that stand in their way including the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They want to restrict your speech, movement, thoughts, and even what you eat. They yearn to annihilate your individuality and merge you into a collectivist hive mind much like The Borg from the Star Trek franchiseBorn humanoid, they are almost immediately implanted with bio-chips that link their brains to a collective consciousness via a unique subspace frequency emitted by each collective consciousness is experienced by the Borg as “thousands” of voices — they are collectively aware, but not aware of themselves as separate individuals. The LGBTQ+ Agenda Erodes Stable SocietiesThey seek to achieve their goals by any means necessary. It doesn’t matter how many innocent people die, how much pain and suffering are inflicted, or how many children’s lives are permanently damaged as a result of their ideologies, policies, and promote a disordered view of reality that declares men can have menstrual cycles, become pregnant, and birth children while they pump harmful drugs and perform dangerous, often irreversible surgeries on minors so they can become transgender. They tell women it’s okay to lop off their breasts, remove their vaginas, take testosterone, and surgically create fake pedophiles are seeking to gain public acceptance as they rebrand themselves as Minor Attracted Persons MAPs instead of the criminally deviant predators they really USDA has recently announced that transgender-identifying students must be allowed to enter the bathrooms of their choosing or they will be deprived of federal funds used to pay for school lunches. Yes, Biden wants to starve your kids if school administrators don’t comply with the agenda. If you haven’t pulled your child out of these government indoctrination centers known as public schools, now is a great time to do it!This particularly insidious form of warfare is slowly destroying what it even means to be a male or female and how the two different sexes should relate to one another. With at least 68 most newly invented terms describing gender and identity, millions are being groomed to rebel against nature and proudly embrace confusion. If alive today, Karl Marx would be thrilled to see his plans to destroy the traditional nuclear family take shape. If this agenda continues unabated, what happens to humanity fifty years from now?The Occult Roots of Societal ChangeThese smug, self-appointed rulers represent all that is evil and vile while presenting themselves as saviors. In truth, they are nothing but wolves in sheep’s clothing and dark clouds without rain. Many of them have aligned themselves with the occult and practiced the satanic “do as thou will shall be the whole of the law” by Aleister Crowley’s Telema, Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan, and Michael Aquino’s Temple of Set, satanic teaching achieved widespread influence in Hollywood, the music industry, education, the military, and many other sectors. Though there are some variations, this belief system allows practitioners to justify anything they do no matter how repugnant, harmful, and horrifying it may truly be. This is why you are seeing celebrities such as Megan Fox admit to drinking human they may pretend otherwise, at the core, all of them are narcissists, many are sociopaths, and an increasing number have become psychopaths. However, they’re usually not the ones committing atrocities like mass shootings and bombing innocent civilians “mistaken” for terrorists. They operate in the shadows, remaining clandestine while creating the policies and giving the orders for other foot soldiers to carry out these sadistic acts of Weapon in the ArsenalThey see themselves as men and women of renown, a special, gifted class destined to rule the world and everything in it. Some of them even believe they will colonize Mars, upload their consciences to the cloud, and achieve of extreme pride and conceit, these tyrants see you and me as nothing more than “hackable animals” here to serve their every need. In fact, if technology continues to progress at the rate they desire, they won’t even need much of our service in the near future. Their ultimate plan is to supplant us with robots, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things IoT smart all goes according to plan, these technological breakthroughs will make much of humanity expendable, so they’ve employed all kinds of methods to kill us including DNA altering and experimental gene therapies known as COVID-19 jjabs. They’ve tried to tell us that millions died from COVID-19, but that narrative has been exposed so now they are shifting to new threats like Monkeypox, bird flu, and bioterror believe this pivot is largely to steer people away from the fact that the COVID-19 bioweapon jabs have caused a massive die-off of the human population. As population control is one of the central tenets of the globalist overlords, those duped into taking the jabs have helped them reduce the population to a much more manageable level. After all, there is a monument in Georgia called the “Guidestones” openly declaring the population must be maintained under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with those who aren’t killed off by big pharma, war, toxic chemicals, starvation or other means, the plan is to plunge us into poverty and government dependence. Creepy Joe Biden and the Federal Reserve are doing their best to oversee the controlled demolition of the economy under the guise of the “Putin price hike” and transition to the so-called green a result, gas prices have soared to over $ in one California town and inflation is rising so fast that it’s quickly emptying everyone’s rapidly, the paradigms of life experienced over the last half century plus are shifting fromRepresentative governments to technocratic authoritarianismGovernance through public institutions accountable to the people to governance by public/private partnerships accountable to no oneRecognition and enforcement of natural borders to fully open bordersIndividual nation states to regional/global governanceNatural biological humans to transhuman or “augmented humans”Free market economies to digital, surveillance capitalism economiesFreedom of movement to restricted movement through biometric digital IDs, IoT, artificial intelligence, and social credit monitoringA world populated with over 7 billion people to a desired population of 1-2 billion peopleIndividual ownership leading to wealth and upward mobility to owning nothing and surviving on the pittance of Universal Basic IncomeBodily autonomy to government ownership as a “patented” corporate assetProtected free speech to government-approved speech and draconian censorshipFreedom of religion to worship of the stateRobust natural food production and consumption to tightly controlled food production allowing only GMOs, lab grown meat, insects, seaweed, and algae for consumptionUnlimited enjoyment and exploration of the natural world to restrictions on travel and movement relying on digital experiences like the metaverse and a digital twin of the earthLimited human contact and strong personal relationships to digital relationships through social media, metaverse, of law to rule by the decrees of technocratic tyrantsThis is indeed a lot to digest, and for many it is so unpalatable they simply bury their head in the sand and continue blindly through life, hoping this will all just go away. But this War of Inversion will not cease unless there is continued resistance at every turn. They desire to achieve most of their objectives by 2030, right in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This is the reason there was such an acceleration of change beginning with the plandemic in fork-tongued snakes at the top of the global pyramid want you dependent on them for everything. This is why they want control of everything under the guise of saving the planet from climate change, ever-mutating viruses and plagues, and devastating cyber-attacks that threaten critical infrastructure and expose all of your private trot out crisis after crisis to keep you traumatized and focused on anything but their continued plans of domination. What we’re witnessing is pure engineered chaos at its Rule is Not a Foregone ConclusionThey love to pretend they are a united front, but they often disagree on how to implement their schemes. This should encourage us to continue to defy them, as a house divided cannot stand. Through predictive programming and publicly stating their goals, they want to make us think that their rule is inevitable, and that resistance is there are victories occurring every day by ordinary people taking on the big bad sad but true that much of their power has been achieved by our own dereliction of duty. As abolitionist Wendel Phillips stated in 1852, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”In many ways we have failed to protect our children, communities, wealth, health, and peace of mind by giving government bureaucrats and anointed experts too much control, all for the sake of ease and convenience. But it’s time to get back in the trenches and fight this enemy by speaking truth to power, overcoming evil with good, forming our own support systems, and continuing to live our lives without fear and all have a part to play in wresting control from those who seek to do us harm. Whether it is through writing, speaking, creating, organizing, planning, inventing, or teaching, all of us have been gifted in some area to contribute to defeating this beast seeking to devour is the time to use whatever talents and gifts you have to advance the cause of freedom and truth. Be a light in the midst of all this darkness. If your message is not received by some, keep it moving and don’t waste time and energy arguing with attention to what’s happening, but don’t let it consume you.

You crave it. You're nothing but a boy trying to prove himself a man." ―Laufey to Thor[src] Laufey was the king of the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, and the biological father of Loki. While attempting to start a second war between Jotunheim and Asgard, Laufey was approached by Loki who offered him a way of murdering the Asgardian King Odin, only for Loki to betray and kill Laufey before attempting to wipe out all of the Frost Giants. Biography Asgard-Jotunheim War Defeated by Odin "From around the cold and darkness came the Frost Giants. Threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity would not face this threat alone. Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world. The cost was great. In the end, their King fell. And the source of their power was taken from them." ―Odin[src] Laufey during the war against Asgard. Laufey was the leader of the Frost Giants. Seeking to give his people a new home world, he led his army to Earth where they invaded a small Viking village and used the Casket of Ancient Winters to slaughter the innocent lives there. This attack put Laufey's army in conflict against the Asgardians and their King Odin[4], with the help of the Eternals[5], beginning a war. Laufey fought in the front lines of the war, killing the Asgardian Soldiers by freezing them. Laufey is eventually defeated by Odin The final battle of the war took place on Jotunheim. Laufey and Odin engaged in a one-on-one battle until the Asgardian King came out victorious and Laufey was forced to surrender. To ensure such a terrible war did not occur again, Laufey and Odin agreed to a peace treaty, where the Frost Giants' power source, the Casket of Ancient Winters, would be taken from them and neither race would attack the other and they could both live peacefully for centuries to come. As the Asgardians left the battle, Odin entered a temple to collect the Casket of Ancient Winters. He also found a child who was Laufey's undersized son, left there to die, so he took him as his own.[4] Attack on Jotunheim Confrontation with Thor Laufey negotiates with and mocks Thor "The House of Odin is full of traitors.""Do not dishonor my father's name with your lies!""Your father is a murderer and a thief!" ―Laufey and Thor[src] Years later, Thor, Loki, Sif and the Warriors Three went to Jotunheim to look for an explanation for the Frost Giants' intrusion that they suffered. However, they received an unwelcomed visit, when Thor was insulted by one soldier, he attacked the Frost Giant and Laufey ordered his army to attack the Asgardians, even sending a Frost Beast to kill the Warriors Three and Sif. Laufey declares a new war against Odin After a long battle, Thor killed the Frost Beast, but in the chaos Laufey gathered his entire army to overpower the Asgardians. Before they could kill the invaders, Odin arrived on Sleipnir to break up the skirmish. Laufey spoke to his former enemy, who attempted to reinstate the peace treaty, but Laufey assured him that Thor had caused a war. Laufey attempted to kill the Asgardian King by stabbing him with an ice knife, but Odin escaped with his fellow Asgardians.[4] Loki's Offer Laufey makes a new deal with Loki "Kill him.""After all I've done for you?""So you're the one who showed us the way into Asgard." ―Laufey and Loki[src] Later, Loki paid a visit to him in Jotunheim, hinting that he was the one who allowed the Frost Giants into Asgard in the first place. He offered a deal with Laufey, in which he told Laufey to go to Asgard to kill Odin. That way, Loki would be able to take the throne.[4] Betrayal and Death Laufey finally arrives on Asgard "It's said you can still see and hear what transpires around you, even in this state. I hope it's true, so that you may know your death came by the hand of Laufey.""And your death came by the son of Odin." ―Laufey and Loki[src] Loki allowed Laufey into Asgard, having froze the gatekeeper Heimdall, before leading the Frost Giants to Odin, but Loki stayed behind. Laufey made his way to the unconscious Odin, knocking out Queen Frigga along his way and prepared to kill his enemy. Laufey is shot in the back and killed by Loki As Laufey stood over Odin, he mocked him before building a knife out of ice to kill him. In a twist of fate, Loki betrayed Laufey by using Gungnir's energy beam to disintegrate him, taking credit for killing the seemingly invading Frost Giant warriors. This act made Loki look like a hero in front of his adoptive mother as part of his plan to completely destroy Jotunheim and the Frost Giant race as well as usurp the throne of Asgard.[4] Personality "You should listen to his counsel. You know not what your actions would unleash. But I do. Go now, while I still allow it." ―Laufey to Thor[src] Laufey is a conniving individual, leading an attack into Odin's Vault after a thousand year truce only to blame it purely on Thor for retaliating. He felt ashamed to have a small offspring and abandoned his baby for death. Despite signing a peace treaty, Laufey never left his ambition to conquer using the Casket of Ancient Winters. He was helped by Loki to sneak into Asgard and kill Odin, but his ambition clouded his judgement as Loki turned on Laufey and killed him. Powers and Abilities Powers Frost Giant Physiology As a Frost Giant, Laufey possessed all of the various superhuman attributes common among his people, including superhuman strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, healing, and was extremely long-lived, as well as the ability to manipulate ice. All Frost Giant's skins are blue, which goes well with their icy planet called Jotunheim. Superhuman Strength Like all Frost Giants, Laufey possessed great superhuman strength, fighting a whole war using his strength and leadership. He also easily pushed away Frigga, an Asgardian. Superhuman Durability Laufey's body was extremely durable, not unlike all other Frost Giants. He withstood attacks by Odin and Thor. He was struck by Thor using Mjølnir and flew into the wall from the hit, but he was only temporarily down. Yet this durability was no match for Gungnir as he was obliterated instantly. Superhuman Speed Laufey could run and move at great superhuman speed, running into battle towards Thor when his party invaded Jotunheim. Superhuman Agility Laufey naturally possessed far greater agility than humans. This allowed him to battle Thor after his first hit. Superhuman Stamina Laufey's Frost Giant physiology allowed him to endure stressful physical activity, fighting a tiresome war and not stopping to relentlessly pursue the Asgardians who invaded Jotunheim. Superhuman Reflexes Laufey could react and dodge objects traveling at high speeds, however, he was unable to dodge Loki's fatal blow as he had his back turned. Regenerative Healing Factor Despite his body's resistance, Laufey could still be injured like any other Frost Giant. However, he was able to rapidly heal from injuries and recover quickly, such as when he was thrown into a wall by Thor. Longevity Laufey, like all other Frost Giants, were extremely long-lived beings, he aged at a very slow pace, being able to live for thousands of years. He did not age noticeably at all from 965 to 2010. Ice Manipulation Laufey creates his weapons out of the ice As a Frost Giant, Laufey possessed the ability to create and manipulate ice. The ice could be formed into practically anything he thought of, being able to form a wide variety of weapons and tools made of ice. He had forged an ice dagger in order to try to kill Odin while he was in Odinsleep. Cold Immunity Due to his Frost Giant physiology, Laufey was immune to cold, being able to live on Jotunheim, a realm that was cold enough to kill any normal human being, for thousands of years. Abilities Master Combatant Laufey was a highly skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant, being able to hold his own against Odin and Thor before being slowly overpowered. He had also easily beat Frigga in a fight as she was just pushed away. Expert Tactician Laufey led the Frost Giants into battle during the Asgard-Jotunheim War. He also planned the Infiltration into Odin's Vault and instigated Thor into a battle which got Thor banished. Equipment Weapons Casket of Ancient Winters Laufey used the Casket of Ancient Winters as his chief weapon when he attempted to conquer Earth during the Asgard-Jotunheim War. When opened, the Casket could unleash infinite, blizzard-like cold that would freeze anything in its path. After Odin defeated Laufey in the Battle of Jotunheim, he took the Casket from Jotunheim and stored it in his vault in Asgard.
