Pharmakeia = Sorcery / Witchcraft

[notmartha]

Pharmakeia = Sorcery / Witchcraft

Albert Barnes, in his Notes on the New Testament (1832), wrote this regarding “pharmakeia”:

[Witchcraft] was a proof of the corrupt nature of man, and was one of the fruits of it. No one can doubt it. It was a system of imposture and falsehood throughout; and nothing is a better demonstration of the depravity of the human heart than an extended and systematized attempt to impose on mankind. The word which is here used, (φαρμακεια, whence our word pharmacy, from φαρμακον a medicine, poison, magic potion,) means, properly, the preparing and giving of medicine. Then it means also poisoning, and also magic art, or enchantment; because in savage nations, pharmacy or medicine consisted much in magical incantations. Thence it means sorcery or enchantment, and it is so used uniformly in the New Testament. It is used only in Galatians 5:20, Revelation 9:21; Revelation 18:23, 21:8. Some have supposed that it means here poisoning, a crime often practised; but the more correct interpretation is, to refer it to the black art, or to pretensions to witchcraft, and the numerous delusions which have grown out of it, as a striking illustration of the corrupt and depraved nature of man.

The Greek word φαρμακεία, transliterated as pharmakeia, (Strong’s #5331) is a noun translated as “sorcery” and “witchcraft” in the KJV and other translations.

Galatians 5:19-21 - Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Revelation 9:21 - Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Revelation 18:23 - And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

The Greek word φαρμακεύς, transliterated as pharmakeus, (Strong’s #5332) meaning druggist or poisoner, is a noun translated as “sorcerer” in the KJV…

Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

…and as “those who practise magic” and “those who practice witchcraft” in other translations.

Revelation 21:8 (WEY) - But as for cowards and the unfaithful, and the polluted, and murderers, fornicators, and those who practice magic or worship idols, and all liars—the portion allotted to them shall be in the Lake which burns with fire and sulphur. This is the Second Death."

Revelation 21:8 (NLT) - “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

The Greek word φάρμακος, transliterated as pharmakos , (Strong’s #5333) is an adjective translated as “sorcerer” in the KJV,

Revelation 22:14-15 - Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

…and as “all who practice magic” in Weymouth New Testament (WEY)

Revelation 22:15 - The unclean are shut out, and so are all who practice magic, all fornicators, all murderers, and those who worship idols, and every one who loves falsehood and tells lies.

Big Pharma = Sorcery

Dr. Peter McCullough, a professor of medicine and vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University, and who also teaches at Texas A&M University, and is an epidemiologist, cardiologist and internist, and has testified before the Texas State Senate related to COVID-19 treatments, recognizes the correlation between Big Pharma and sorcery. While publically maintaining that the Covid injections have already killed over 50,000 Americans, he said:

“We actually couldn’t communicate with our propagandized colleagues in major medical centers, all of which appear to be under a spell, almost as if they’ve been hypnotized.”

“I think when these doctors wake up from their trance, they’re going to be shocked to think what they’ve done to people,” he says.

Big Pharma = Sorcery / Witchcraft = Divination

If you look up Sorcery and/or Witchcraft in Smith’s Bible Dictionary (1884), you are referred to Divination. Divination is then defined as:

"foretelling future events, or discovering things secret by the aid of superior beings, or other than human means." It is used in Scripture of false systems of ascertaining the divine will. It has been universal in all ages, and all nations alike civilized and savage. Numerous forms of divination are mentioned, such as divination by rods, Hose 4:12 divination by arrows, Ezek 21:21 divination by cups, Gene 44:5 consultation of teraphim, 1 Sam 15:23; Ezek 21:21; Zech 10:2 [TERAPHIM]; divination by the liver, Ezek 21:21 divination by dreams, Deut 13:2, 3; Judg 7:13; Jere 23:32 consultation of oracles. Isai 41:21-24; 44:7 Moses forbade every species of divination, because a prying into the future clouds the mind with superstition, and because it would have been an incentive to idolatry.

Encyclopedia of Bible Facts (2004) defines witchcraft as:

“Witchcraft is wanting to have spiritual power without submitting to God.
Witchcraft is a desire to be a spiritual free agent without submission to God and without regard for the Bible's teaching.”

And defines Sorcery as:

“Sorcery may be defined as divination by the (alleged) assistance of evil spirits.”

Big Pharma = Sorcery / Witchcraft = COMIRNATY = TIROMANCY = Divination

Divination, a trick up the sleeves of sorcerers and magicians, is a foretelling of future events, or discovering things secret by the aid of superior beings, or other than human. If you run the word Comirnaty (the name of the new “licensed” Pfizer jab) through an anagram checker, a result is the word Tiromancy. How fitting for the sorcerers…Tiromancy is divination by examining how curds form during the coagulation of cheese.

You just can't make this pharmacomaniacal stuff up.... (There...I got to use the word! )

That is very interesting.

WITCH Doctors and Doctors - one and the same it appears...

[notmartha]

Ever wonder why so many pharmaceutical / medical symbols include serpents? Well, let’s start at the beginning…

Genesis 3:1-5 - Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

According to Hislop in The Two Babylons (1853), “The serpent is universally the symbol of the sun. In Egypt, one of the commonest symbols of the sun or sun god is a disc with a serpent around it. The original reason of that identification seems just to have been that as the sun was the great enlightener of the physical world, so the serpent was held to have been the great enlightener of the spiritual, by giving mankind the ‘knowledge of good and evil.’”

The serpent was henceforth symbolic of wisdom or knowledge (gnosis), and the religion of the Serpent became known as Gnosticism.

The earliest Gnostics, in their efforts to “know” everything, were obsessed with the study of philosophy, astronomy, and medicine. When they didn’t know something, they would make up myths and sell them to the populace as fact. The Gnostics, being the “enlightened” holders of all “truth”, could easily control the people, and used astrology, soothsaying, necromancy, fortune-telling, incantations, etc. to further grip the minds of the ignorant. Gnostic myths were handed down from India, to Assyria, to Babylon, to Persia, to Greece, to Rome and Jerusalem, with names and places changing, but sun and serpent worship remaining a constant.

Which brings us to the mythical Greek family…

Ge (earth)>Uranus (heaven)>Cronos aka Saturnus>Zeus aka Jupiter (master god)

Zeus>Hermes aka Mercury (messenger god; science, commerce, invention god)

Zeus>Apollo aka Helios (sun god)> Asklepios (medicine god) > Hygeia (health goddess)

Zeus>Apollo aka Helios (sun god)> Asklepios (medicine god) >17> Hippocrates (father of medicine)


Let’s start with Hermes (called Mercury by the Romans)…

This son of Zeus was considered the messenger god, as well as god of science, commerce and invention, and he traditionally carried a caduceus, a winged staff with two snakes wound around it, that signals his authority. The rod represents power, the serpents represent wisdom, and the wings represent diligence and activity. The two-snake caduceus design has ancient and consistent associations with trade, liars, thieves, eloquence, negotiation, alchemy, and wisdom. The caduceus is still used today by sorcerers to cast spells. The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall (1928), says, “In the ancient Mysteries the serpent entwining a staff was the symbol of the physician. The serpent-wound staff of Hermes remains the emblem of the medical profession.” The medical establishment considers the use of this symbol a “mistake,” but they ought to tell that to the Army Medical Corps and the Surgeon General…








Next we have Asklepios…

Asklepios (also spelled Æsculapius) was the son of Apollo (sun god) and grandson of Zeus. The worship of him began around the 5th century B.C. when he was made the god of medicine. He is commonly represented as an old man having a rod or staff with a “wise” serpent coiled around it, the snake of which whispered to Asklepios all of his medical knowledge. His rod symbolizes the healing aspects of the art of medicine. (As a side note, pain was thought to be caused by the invisible arrows of Apollo, so people in Ancient Greece would leave gifts at Apollo’s temple for him to stop shooting the arrows, and gifts at Asklepios’ temple to be magically healed. Quite the racket…) The symbol was displayed at the Temples of Asklepios, popular healing centers of the Greco-Roman world. These healing centers focused on healthful living, and “temple sleep,” where the patient’s dreams would be interpreted to decide what concoctions should be administered. Later on, the Rod of Asklepios became the symbol of the American Medical Association, World Health Organization, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Star of Life and dozens of other health organizations around the world.






And then we have Hygeia…

She is the daughter of Asklepios, and she was deemed the goddess of health. It is where we get the word “hygiene” from. She is represented holding a bowl containing a magic medicinal potion, with her father’s oh so wise serpent drinking from it. This symbol, the “Bowl of Hygeia” is the international symbol of pharmacy, aka pharmakeia, aka sorcery, used all across Europe.







And let’s not forget Hippocrates…

Hippocrates was born around 460 B.C. supposedly a direct descendant of Zeus, 17th in descent from Asklepios. He was a member of the Asklepios Guild, studying at an asklepeion (healing temple) on the island of Kos, where snakes would frequent the halls and dormitories and play an important role in healing activities. Because of his purported genealogy, Hippocrates was treated as a hero, first as a student and then as a teacher. He became known as “The Father of Medicine” and is probably most famous for his “Hippocratic Oath” which begins:

I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.

There are just so many more connections I don't know where to start....

The most famous sorcerer in the Bible is Simon Magus (see Acts 8:9-11). He was previously discussed as the purported father of Gnostism here: viewtopic.php?t=745&start=20

The Red Cross symbol, a red Greek cross on a white background, has its origins with St. George, who was written about Here and Here.

The serpent worship of the Gnostics is written about Here and Here.

Luciferianism, including the role of Bill Gates, is talked about Here.

[notmartha]

Another infamous sorcerer was Paracelsus, born in Switzerland in 1493. The son of a physician, from 1512 – 1524 he traveled the world to seek out ancient “wisdom”, studying Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, Qabbalah, magic, alchemy, astrology, and even folk medicine. He heavily criticized the medical status quo (mostly bleeding and purging), to the point that he couldn’t stay in any one city for very long. From everything I’ve read, he was quite the character, being outspoken and obnoxious, making radical claims such as talking to the dead and telepathy, and was a master of natural magic. While most of his writings weren’t published until after his death in 1541, he became known as the Father of Toxicology and was highly venerated by the Rosicrucians, who considered him a prophet.



Paracelsus was credited with reviving the "microcosm" theory of ancient Greece, and sought to prove the seven organs of the human body were directly connected to the seven planets. In fact, he was said to believe that all plant, animal, mineral and astral is connected and one, that "above" and "below" are substantially the same, "Heaven is man and man is heaven, and all men together are the one heaven," but microcosm and macrocosm are contained by partitions.

He purportedly held that illness was caused by impurities, and healing came from introducing purified “medicine” similar to the nature of the illness itself. “Like cured like.” His ideas were the predecessor of homeopathic medicine.

It was no surprise to me that he, and those who followed his school of thought, were fond of snakes. There is a whole system of healing through snakes you can read about HERE.

One of the most interesting things I’ve read about Paracelsus is how he stresses the importance of “imagination” in disease and healing:

“The power of imagination is a great factor in medicine. It may produce diseases in man and in animals and it may cure them. But this is not done by the powers of symbols or characters made in wax or being written on paper, but by an imagination, which perfects the will. All the imagination of man comes from the heart. The heart is the seed of the microcosm, and from that seed the imagination proceeds into the macrocosm. Thus the imagination of man is a seed that becomes materialized or corporeal.”

"It is possible that my spirit, without the help of my body, and through an ardent will alone, and without a sword, can stab and wound others. It is also possible that I can bring the spirit of my adversary into an image and then fold him up or lame him at my pleasure. Resolute imagination is the beginning of all magical operations.”

"Because men do not perfectly believe and imagine, the result is, that arts are uncertain when they might be wholly certain."

Paracelsus, the sorcerer, helped his less “imaginative” patients along by administering a pill he concocted by extracting, in purest form of course, a chemical derived from the poppy. Yes, the Father of Toxicology was also the Father of Laudanum.

Read more about “imagination” HERE.

Hmm… the power of imagination… comes from the heart of man. The power to convince an entire world that the only hope in surviving a deadly virus (that doesn’t exist) is to take a vaccine (that isn’t a vaccine), can only be accomplished by sorcerers (pharmakeia) who understand and manipulate the “imaginations of their hearts,” as they pummel the gullible with fear mongering propaganda for over a year.

As David said in his Psalms 10:2 imprecatory prayer, “let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.”

[Firestarter]

Notmartha and I were discussing the history of vaccines in another thread.
"Vaccination" was really an updated version of "inoculation" that in India was part of a ritual to the fever goddess:

See fever Goddess Śītalā (including of Smallpox).


The ritual of variolation that was part of Shitala worship, before the practice was transformed into vaccination,, included the reading of mantras or other sounds, which would draw the goddess into the person inoculated (akarshana) and then install her (sthapana)

I think that this also fits in this thread.
We all know that magicians say the word “abracadabra” to cast a magic spell.
What most people don't know is that “abracadabra” is a cabalistic word. The Kabbalah of course worships Baal (often portrayed as the bull).

The earliest known mentioning of "abracadabra" is by the third century Roman physician, Quintus Serenus Sammonicus (who was killed in 212 AD). In "Liber Medicinalis" he describes a cure to treat malaria.
Serenus instructed to write "abracadabra" on a piece of paper and repeat the word underneath, but remove letters from the line above, over and over until the word became a single letter.


Serenus then instructed to bind the paper, wrap it in linen and wear it as a talisman around the neck for 9 days to create a shield against malaria.
Abracadabra continued to be used against a variety of ailments well into the 17th century:

For thousands of years pharmakeus (i.e. those practicing sorcery, witchcraft, magic, incantations, enchantments, etc.) sought out gullible people who could be beguiled for power and financial gain, into even sacrificing their own children. The OT is filled with God’s warnings about and anger towards these deceivers.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 - There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD:

2 Kings 17:17 - And they [Israel] caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

2 Kings 21:6 - And he [Manasseh] made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

2 Chronicles 33:6 - And he [Manasseh] caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

Jeremiah 27:8-10 - Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.

Micah 5:12 - And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:

Nahum 3:4-5 - Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts. 5 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts;

(Incidentally, the root word for both enchanters and serpents is nahash (Strong’s #5172, 5173, 5175) meaning “hiss” or “whisper,” further reinforcing the serpent religion’s bane on society from the beginning.)

In the NT, the apostles frequently encountered sorcerers such as Barjesus (Acts 13:6), Elymas (Acts 13:8), Simon (Acts 8:9-24), and the vagabond Jews (Acts 19:13), who, with their subtlety and mischief, bewitched the people. Sometimes these sorcerers would have side shows, such as the slave girl in Philippi, who purportedly had the spirit of divination a.k.a the spirit of Python. (Python was another name for the Greek sun god Apollo, son of Zeus, given the name because at his birth he killed a python with one of his arrows. Refer back to serpent/sun religion in post above…) She pretended to become inspired by Python (often violently) to foretell future events as though they were oracles of Apollo. Her masters made a great deal of profit from her fortune-telling, and were less than happy when Paul commanded the spirit to leave the gal (Acts 16:16-19).

The sorcerers of ancient times morphed into the mountebanks of the Dark Ages. Mountebanks, who rarely had any actual medical knowledge, would go from town to town, fascinating audiences with magic tricks and entertainment as they peddled their “miracles” and potions. Mountebanks were also called charlatans and quacks, and could never stay in one place for too long as people became aware of their deceptions. Bacon once wrote, “We see the weakness and credulity of men is such as they will often prefer a mountebank or witch before a learned physician.”

In the 18th century the mountebanks of Europe made their way to America, preying on the colonists, and by the 19th century were following their victims south and west with their polished “medicine shows.” Using pitchmen and shills in the audience, along with entertaining distractions and scare tactics, these hucksters were swindling millions from the gullible public by creating a need, or fear, then offering their unique medicine as the only cure (sound familiar??).

By 1858 there were at least 1500 patent “medicines” recorded. One of the most common “medicines” was promoted as “snake oil liniment” (which rarely contained any snake derived substances whatsoever, but did contain mineral oil and addictive cocaine, amphetamine, alcohol and/or opium to assure return customers), and those sorcerers who made a living out of lies and deceit became known as “snake oil salesmen.”




There was a very corrupt snake oil salesman, who called himself “Dr. William Livingston”. Born in 1810, Dr. Livingston (who wasn’t a doctor at all), nicknamed “Devil Bill,” was a deceitful occultist, bigamist, adulterer, horse thief, usurer, and rapist who stole, lied, and abused his way through life. He travelled from place to place, evading debts and criminal charges, hocking his cure-all tonic called Rock Oil for $25 a bottle (about 2 months’ salary for the average worker at that time.)

Between his two wives and a mistress, “Devil Bill” had 8 children, 3 of which were sons. He once bragged, "I cheat my boys every chance I get. I want to make 'em sharp." Before “William Livingston” died in 1906, he had taught his oldest son, John, all the tricks of the trade, aiding him in becoming one of the wealthiest men the world has ever known.

In the very first post of this thread I quoted Revelations 18:23 which says “for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries (pharmakeia) were all nations deceived.”

When you think about all the “great merchants of the earth,” names like Rothschild, Rockefeller, Warburg, Astor, DuPont, Lehman, Goldman, Reynolds, and Habsburg, may come to mind. But one name is a real standout when it comes to pharmakeia, that being Rockefeller, the real surname of “Devil Bill,” the corrupt snake oil salesman who sired the pharmacomaniacal John Davidson Rockefeller.

I tried for quite a while to summarize all the evils done by J.D. and his family, and just didn't know where to stop. Then I found this article, How Rockefeller Created the Business of Western Medicine, and decided to just leave it at that.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."



Sitting larger than life in front of the Rockefeller Center is a statue of the mythological Prometheus, with the inscription "Prometheus, teacher in every [black] art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends." His name means "forethought" because he was said to be a fortune teller, and also purportedly gave mankind the gift of fire, i.e. light, i.e. gnosis. The circle around him features the signs of the zodiac.

Great thread - thanks for the research.

This info all resonates with modern medical practices.

Any naturally occurring herbs and compounds don't get the recognition and acknowledgment that they deserve.

A simple example being cannabis which is now authorised for prescription by GP's in the UK after a very long battle.

However, it is still very rarely prescribed to patients despite its clear benefits in the treatment of certain illnesses and conditions.

The big pharmas prefer sorcery and witchcraft...


Song of the Witches: “Double, double toil and trouble”
By William Shakespeare

(from Macbeth)

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Notes:

Macbeth: IV.i 10-19; 35-38

[notmartha]

Any naturally occurring herbs and compounds don't get the recognition and acknowledgment that they deserve.

Yep. natural compounds can't be patented, so herbal medicine competition needed to be eliminated. Rockefeller and Carnegie decided that if they could control what was being taught in the medical schools, they could influence the doctors and hospitals to do their bidding. So they “donated” huge sums of money to the American Medical Association (created in 1847), to hire Abraham Flexner, a man with zero medical training, to go around and “evaluate” various medical colleges. In 1910, the Flexner Report, slanted towards the desired outcome, was published. The AMA used the report to effectively shut down all competition, leaving only the schools that would go along with the teaching of drug-intensive medicine.

Funny you mention Macbeth. In the beginning of the plandemic, this QUEER (it is ok to use that word now that gov.co has legitimized it) was on tv everyday telling everyone, including adults, how to wash their hands, even teaching them to do it by singing the birthday song for timing. People were obsessed with handwashing, and then with sanitizer, to the point that their hands were raw. It reminded me of Lady Macbeth, who obsessively washed her hands to wash away the guilt.

[notmartha]

The art of "fortune telling," as represented by Rockefeller's Prometheus statue, should never be confused with planned chaos. As with all magic, it is built on deception and trickery.

Rockefeller Foundation, along with Global Business Network, published a paper in 2010 entitled Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development.

https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/arch ... tdevel.pdf

The paper outlines a scenario where a pandemic has hit, and the governments of the world use it to expand their authority and increase their grip on power. They want to emphasize that these scenarios are not planned events..

“Importantly, scenarios are not predictions. Rather, they are thoughtful hypotheses that allow us to imagine, and then rehearse, different strategies for how to be more prepared for the future—or more ambitiously, how to help shape better futures ourselves … scenarios are a medium through which great change are envisioned and actualized.“

yea, right... And there is that "imagine" word again... remember what Paracelsus said:

“The power of imagination is a great factor in medicine. It may produce diseases in man and in animals and it may cure them. But this is not done by the powers of symbols or characters made in wax or being written on paper, but by an imagination, which perfects the will. All the imagination of man comes from the heart.”

"It is possible that my spirit, without the help of my body, and through an ardent will alone, and without a sword, can stab and wound others. It is also possible that I can bring the spirit of my adversary into an image and then fold him up or lame him at my pleasure. Resolute imagination is the beginning of all magical operations.”

And there is more from the Rockefeller paper:

ENGAGING YOUR IMAGINATION

It is our hope that these scenarios help inspire the same future-orientation in other initiatives that are broadly concerned with technology and international development.

Of course, there is no hard data about the future - nobody yet knows precisely what technologies will be successful at addressing new and evolving development needs.

Rather, as you read the scenarios, think of them as a journey - four journeys - into a future that is relevant, thought-provoking, and possible. Imagine how the world will function and how it will be organized to tackle the challenges it faces.

Who will be responsible for driving local and global development initiatives and what would that require? And what is your own role in leading your organization, community, or region to a preferred future?

Scenarios are a medium through which great change can be not just envisioned but also actualized.

The more closely you read them, the more likely it becomes that you will recognize their important but less obvious implications to you, your work, and your community. We strongly encourage you to share and discuss this report widely, use it as a springboard for further creative thinking about how technology could shape development, and test and adjust your strategies or personal actions accordingly.

It is also our hope that these scenarios help to identify potential areas of future work for governments, philanthropies, corporations, and nonprofits, and that they illuminate choices and commitments that a wide range of organizations may want to make in these areas in the future.

imagine = scheme

Firestarter wrote about the Lock Step scenario in March-April 2020 in this thread.

In their Lock Step scenario, one of the results was:

"Citizens willingly gave up some of their sovereignty - and their privacy - to more paternalistic states in exchange for greater safety and stability. Citizens were more tolerant, and even eager, for top-down direction and oversight, and national leaders had more latitude to impose order in the ways they saw fit."

I guess time will tell just how much the "citizens" will tolerate, when the truth comes out about the sorcerers and all the tricks up their sleeves.

There are people all around the world that believe in the power of witchcraft, black magic, the “evil eye,” and all kinds of superstitions.

“Where There is No Doctor” by David Werner is a book generally written for community health workers, especially those who find themselves in third world countries without adequate food, water, and/or medical supplies or services. It does a very good job (in my opinion) of balancing cultural traditions and modern medicines / techniques (with the exceptions of its coverage of abortions and vaccinations…). Often, village health care workers encounter people, like those in Tanzania or Mexico, who suffer from nothing more than their beliefs in superstitions.

Here are some quotes from the book:

“[Home remedies] help largely because people have faith in them. For this reason, they are especially useful to cure illnesses that are partly in people’s minds, or those caused in part by a person’s beliefs, worry, or fears.”

“The power of belief can help heal people. But it can also harm them. If a person believes strongly enough that something will hurt him, his own fear can make him sick.”

“If a person believes strongly enough that someone has the power to harm him, he may actually become ill. Anyone who believes he is bewitched or has been given the evil eye is really a victim of his own fears.”

“A witch has no power over other people, except for her ability to make them believe that she has. For this reason, it is impossible to bewitch a person who does not believe in witchcraft.”

“According to Mexican villagers, susto is caused by a sudden fright a person has had, or by witchcraft, black magic or evil spirits. A person with susto is very nervous and afraid. He may shake, behave strangely, not be able to sleep, lose weight, or even die.”

The author talks about people’s faith in injections. He describes one woman, who was miraculously healed after he gave her an injection of distilled water. (He did later tell her what he did, and tried to explain to her that it was her faith in the injection, not a medical treatment, that made her well.)

I’ve seen both susto and faith in injections in various people during the plandemic.

I saw a perfectly healthy gal, with no symptoms, get a required Covid test (she worked at a school), and ended up in the hospital with breathing trouble as soon as the test came back positive. She was ready to admit herself, thinking she had this “deadly” disease. Fortunately for her, an astute nurse told her she was just having a panic attack, and she’d be fine, and proved it with a second test that came back negative.

I’ve also seen many elderly quickly deteriorate when being threatened with isolation from family and friends, and high mortality rates.

And I saw and heard more people than I can count breathe a sigh of relief, based on faith only, when the jabs became available, because now they were “saved.”

To paraphrase the quote above:

"It is impossible to beguile a person who does not believe in pharmakeia.”
