The point of the convergence process
When theory of 5GW meets the substantive reality, and the world changes
As a child I went to ordinary English state schools until the age of 11, when I was awarded one of the early government-sponsored scholarships to attend one of London’s top private schools. This social climbing ladder was later withdrawn after 16 years and 80,000 beneficiaries, in the name of egalitarianism and efficiency. The 1982 school rulebook still referenced corporal punishment, and I did four years of Latin, as well as rowed in the company of future Olympians, albeit with far less sporting attainment myself. Times have changed.
In one memorable English lesson Mr Pickles (true fact!) read us the poetry of Wilfred Owen, a storyteller of the putrid froth of the WW1 trenches. I could never have anticipated the arrival of “modern hard war” in 2020 with the Covid lockdowns and “quiet weapons for silent wars” genocide. My own role in this fifth-generation battlefield has been to experience and document the times from the civilian side, untainted by any access to official secrets, and eschewing the dry language of military intelligence briefings. Another English teacher, Miss Philipps, described my writing style as “peculiar”, which at the time I took as condemnation, but I have overcome the setback!
There are other people who do the day-to-day analysis of this information war far better than myself; the fine detail isn’t my calling. Instead, my role is to stand back and ponder how my own lived experience relates to the wholeness of the conflict, and draw out the pattern that may be relevant to others, so they can locate themselves in both the personal and geopolitical narrative arcs. A word resurfaced recently that captured the essence for me — “convergence”. I came to know and love this term in my IT and telecoms days, in the context of “digital convergence”. In this instance, we ceased using discrete single-function machines (like cameras, MP3 players, alarm clocks). These were rendered down into multi-purpose devices with application software implementations of those needs.
My sense is that we are at an inflection point of maximum “conceptual convergence” right now. The era of 2016-2020 allowed many of us to identify with the covert war in the “macro corruption”. Our suspicions that something was very “off” that led us to become “conspiracy theorists” were confirmed with hard evidence of state-led criminal endeavours. An interregnum from 2020-2024 then forced many of us, for our own good if unwillingly, to confront the “micro corruption” in our local councils, courts, utilities, schools, and churches. Having seen both scales, a slice of the population is in a place who see the converged picture. Now we can be resourced to act rationally and responsibly as guardians of the newly awakening, recovering from the black magic spells cast upon us all.
A few nights ago, here in central Tennessee, a parade of thunderstorms passed through. I used to live in Kansas, so my baseline expectation of what comprises a storm in America has been suitably upgraded already; we don’t have nonstop lightning in England typically. My phone shrieked a few times as the emergency broadcast message went off, and for that brief moment I wondered if we were going to coincidentally be told of a financial reset, the 2020 attempted coup against the Republic, the “Bidan Show” sting operation, treason trials from Gitmo, and the full picture of what really went down under the Covid regime.
It was just a tornado. Oh well. Off to the windowless bathroom to shelter for half an hour.
It is easy to get worked up about an event that changes everything, but really this is a long process of convergence, not a singular moment. My personal experience of many interactions with failing authoritarian systems is my “masters degree” in “Conspiracy Studies”. The same state that plucked me from the working classes to the intellectual elite has turned upon the people, and doesn’t provide scholarships to deconstruct its own delinquencies. When it comes to learning contemporary history, there is no real substitute for that direct visceral knowing that it is morally wrong for the council to send thugs to your house to collect “debts” without any paperwork. They won’t stop when you challenge them, as they believe themselves above the law.
The convergence process is one whereby the masses have to master both the macro (hidden history, twisted religion, suppressed technologies) and the micro (family feuds, personal health, asserting lawful rights). Emergency documentary broadcasts can fill in the gaps for the former, but the latter takes time. Many know something is profoundly wrong, but lack a framework to describe exactly how. You cannot deprogram a world brainwashed via television, movies, music, pharmaceuticals, and social media in a moment. To acknowledge having been enslaved to debt and deceit is to experience profound grief and shock, which needs emotional processing. There are both maximum and minimum rates at which the convergence can occur.
Whatever upheavals and cataclysms await, I cannot tell you. All I know is that there is a managed process to bring as many worthy people as possible across a bridge between the civilisation we have been inhabiting, based on illusions, and a new one, based on truth. We are leaving behind legal fictions in favour of living facts. We may have many estranged friends and relatives who seem like they will never “converge with reality”, but that is to ignore the progress we have made. Before, there was no meaningful alternative paradigm to the accepted norm of society; post-Covid, there is one, just decried and denied by the intelligentsia. That ticks the preconditions of change and acceptance of a different perspective, located in a bigger conceptual universe.
The years of 2024-2028 look like the “era of full convergence” where the buried wrongs of the near and far past are brought to light. This convergence process asks us to span many conceptual orders of magnitude of concern — not an easy task. One moment we are wondering if our fries are cooked in tasty tallow or slimy seed oils. The next we are considering if we might have encounters with higher-order off-world civilisations, or how life could change when AI gets to improve itself hyper-exponentially. It won’t be a settled period, it isn’t meant to be. The convergence process is to heal the wounds of the lies of the past, so we can participate in something far greater ahead.
Truth has a natural dynamic that collapses false narratives, converging onto a singular shared sense of what is real. The narcissistic paradigm we have inhabited is founded on the false self-image and a fantasy that is spun to sustain that, often at horrendous cost to the victims. There is a kind of thermodynamic limit to this self-delusion, in that the energetic cost of keeping the lie alive eventually becomes unaffordable, and it collapses — as we can observe. The wages of such sin are not only deadly, but inevitably lethal in a bounded timescale. Now the geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting — economically, socially, and culturally. The physical ones may choose to quake too, if Creator wills it.
This week, an anecdotal encounter in the local Walmart really brought it to life for me — that the masses “get it” at both the macro and micro levels. A local man, likely in his 50s, accompanied by what seemed to be his elderly parents, was passing the pharmacy section. He was loudly proclaiming how the flu and Covid vaccines were “bad news”. On prompting why, he said that “Fauci’s fingers should be chopped off, one by one.”
Now, I am not endorsing what he said, only reporting. But it is symptomatic of where we are at; people are ready for war crimes trials on TV. They have personally experienced the consequences of uncontained corruption and attempted communist takeover of America. While hardly a statistical sample of American public opinion, it suggests that there is a tightening convergence of the secrets of the Deep State and White Hats with the ordinary man of Main Street.
Many before me have noted the paradoxical nature of this convergence, where surfacing opposing beliefs and making this explicit seems to be divergence, as there is a temporary tug-of-war between fact and fiction. The oddity is that the more distant some of our loved ones may seem to be, the closer to converging we are. The untrue seems to be fixed in place as it corrodes, but then fails suddenly under load, and collapses. “The Storm” of declassification of crimes and forced exposure is designed to overload the failing paradigm, so it implodes. We don’t know when that will happen, so it feels like the old world is immovable, until the day it is suddenly gone.
There has never been a day in my life where more people knew that the state has been weaponised to oppress, steal, and kill us. Ideas that were “fringe” — like the illegitimacy of central banks, taxes, and invented legal obligations — have become mainstream. It is widely understood that the political classes have been blackmailed and do not represent the people. Insiders in the medical industry are rejecting poisons marketed as vaccines en masse. The legacy media is in tatters; their lies are rejected by the sane. Ordinary people are having conversations that are far outside the Overton window of the past: be it on mass migration, overseas aid, or gender ideology.
People are rejecting the putrid froth of the deception.
Convergence with reality is real.
It is just not yet complete.
Hey Martin.
We met at your trial talk in Chiswick just prior to your US trip.
I’ve just upgraded so I can comment!!
There is method in the madness!
Just wanna express heartfelt gratitude and love to you and yours for all that you do.
I love your writing. It’s a window into your mind which fascinates me. I’ve always been drawn to keen minds.
I way prefer the articles that are just you and not AI. Personal preference. I use AI as as tool myself. It’s amazing what it can do I’m not sure why but I switch off an article or video when I realise it’s been AI generated.
Anyway thanks again.
Stay free.
Peter
This is great writing, Martin. You help to fill the void of this most irksome interregnum time. (And you write so much better than your AI.)
"All I know is that there is a managed process to bring as many worthy people as possible across a bridge between the civilisation we have been inhabiting, based on illusions, and a new one, based on truth." Hallelujah!
