#Questioner: Please elucidate the "surety in negation" idea. You spoke of negative and positive thought. Do you mean when we are positive we make statements that are valueless, because they are tight bound and smug; while when we are negative we are open to thought because we are bankrupt of traditions and able to inquire into the new? Or do you mean we must be positive in that there is no choice between the true and the false and that negation means becoming part of compromise?

#Krishnamurti: I said that #in #negation #there #is #surety. Let us expand this idea. When we become aware of ourselves we find that we are in a state of self-contradiction, of wanting and not wanting, of loving and hating and so on. Thoughts and actions born of this self-contradiction are considered to be positive, but is it positive when thought contradicts itself? Because of our religious training we are certain that we must not kill but we find ourselves supporting or finding reasons for killing when the State demands; one thought denies the other and so there is no thinking at all. In a state of self-contradiction thought ceases and there is only ignorance. So let us discover if we think at all or exist in a state of self-contradiction in which thinking ceases to be.

If we look into ourselves we realize that we live in a state of contradiction and how can such a state be positive? For that which contradicts itself ceases to be. Not knowing ourselves profoundly how can there be agreement or disagreement, assertion or denial? In this self-contradictory state how can there be surety? How can we in this state assume that we are right or wrong? We cannot assume anything, can we? But our morality, our positive action is based on this self-contradiction and so we are incessantly active, craving for peace and yet creating war, longing for happiness and yet causing sorrow, loving and yet hating. If our thinking is self-contradictory and therefore non-existent there is only one possible approach for understanding, which is the state of non-becoming, a state which may seem to be negation but in which there is the highest possibility.

Humility is born of negation and without humility there is no understanding. In negative comprehension we begin to perceive the possibility of surety of agreement and so of greater relationship and of highest thinking. When the mind is creatively empty - not when it is positively directing - there is reality. All great discoveries are born in this creative emptiness and there can only be creative emptiness when self-contradiction ceases. As long as craving exists there will be self-contradiction. Therefore instead of approaching life positively, as most of us do, giving rise to the many miseries, brutalities, conflicts of which we know so well, why not approach it negatively which is not really negation?

When I use the terms positive and negative I am not using them in opposition to each other. When we begin to understand what we call the positive, which is the outcome of ignorance, then we shall find that from this is there comes a surety in negation. In trying to understand the ever contradictory nature of the self, of the me and the mine, with its positive craving and denial, pursuit and death, there comes into being the still, creative emptiness. It is not the result of positive or negative action but a state of non-duality. When the mind-heart is still, creatively empty, then only is there reality.

How might the bond company be linked to Russia? To Trump?

In a pattern reminiscent of the Trump family, there is a father-son thing happening. However, neither Greenberg supported Trump directly in 2016 or 2020.

Evan Greenberg (Evan), 68/69, is the president and CEO of Chubb Ltd (incorporated in Zürich, Switzerland).

Federal Insurance Company (FIC), the company behind Trump’s surety bond, is a Chubb subsidiary.
Evan orchestrated the ACE Insurance absorption of Chubb Insurance in 2016.

Details below.

Evan donated to the Hillary Clinton campaign in the 2016 election cycle, not Trump.
However, in 2020, he donated almost exclusively to Republicans, but not Trump.

Trump appointed Evan to the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations in late 2018.

Although Chubb was one of the first major insurance conglomerates to “adopt limited” restrictions on insuring fossil fuel underwriting, it is one of the largest insurers of oil and gas projects.

In 2020, Reuters reported that Chubb was insuring tar sands projects in Canada. In 2021, it withdrew from the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline due to U.S. government sanctions.

Evan’s father is #Maurice “#Hank” #Greenberg (Maurice), 98, the former “combative” chairman and CEO of American International Group ( #AIG ), which was once a subsidiary of Starr Insurance Companies.

Starr was founded in 1919 in Shanghai, China, by an American. Maurice has been chairman and chief executive officer of Starr since 1968. (Envision nested Russian dolls.)

Maurice is notorious for extensive #fraud that happened at AIG under his direction.

He paid $24,000,000 to the SEC (2009) and the state of New York (2017) for fraud that took place before 2005, the year he turned 80 and was kicked out of the CEO penthouse.

Maurice has direct ties to Russian president Vladamir #Putin.

In 2003, Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, welcomed Maurice to Moscow. The purpose of the visit? To develop mortgage loans in Russia.

In 2007, Maurice created a subsidiary, Starr Investments Russia, “to invest hundreds of millions in Russian real estate,” specifically “prime office space, residential housing and hotels.”

Putin was the president of Russia.
In the 2016 election cycle, Maurice donated $20,000 to Republican political action committees. According to the Washington Post, he gave more than $15,000,000 to #dark #money SuperPACs.

He supported Jeb Bush. In the 2020 cycle, he supported no presidential candidate directly.

There is no direct link between the surety bond company and Putin. There are links between projects, players, corporations.

If FIC asked for 2%, Trump had to pony up only (only!) $18,400,000.

Rather than his winning an appeal, I put money on Carroll winning another defamation suit.

♦️Who will pay his bills? ♦️

That’s the national and domestic #security #issue.
