One Country, One Government

2012-01-29T15:10:00.000-08:00

One Culture, One (official) Language

One set of laws, regulations, taxes, policies, and standards for the whole country.

Founding Fathers: Tragic Heroes

All men are created equal, and all are endowed with certain rights, including - but not limited to - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.* Right? That is not in the Constitution, but the Declaration of Independence.

And the Founding Fathers didn't even start with the Constitution. They tried the Articles of Confederation first; that was what they really wanted. They didn't want to be one country, but 13 separate countries, loosely associated. Well, they wanted all the benefits of being one country, but without having to pay for them, and without giving up sovereignty to the one country. They tried to make the AoC work for ten years, and were finally forced - by reality - to go to the Constitution.

And they still didn't include the Bill of Rights at first. They could have done the Bill of Rights on day one, but they didn't want that; they only accepted it because the State leglislatures wouldn't ratify the Constitution without the BoR.

Only about a half-dozen of the vaunted Founding Fathers were great men; most of them were just rich men who didn't want to pay taxes - to anyone.

Even the Constitution was only a patch on the basic problem, the result of their failure to be the visionaries and great men we have all been taught to view them as: the Federal System of Government. That led inevitably to the Civil War, which was the National Government side vs. the States' Rights side. The National Gov side won that war, and with that situation we became the richest and most powerful country in the world. We are now a nation of over 300 million citizens, a post-industrial civilization, and a combination military and economic superpower. In the face of all that, to keep bleating about "States' Rights" is evil.

*[Side Note: Jefferson took that phrase from John Locke, who was the true revolutionary thinker. A former supporter of monarchy and theocracy, Locke's original phrase was "life, liberty, and property", and by "property" he meant: 1) your body and 2) the results of your work. This was back in the 1680's, when nobody else was saying such things.]

What Must Be Done

The Federal System of Government is evil, and must be eliminated. We cannot have 50 States, each sovereign - as in "the power of the State" - like 50 separate countries that are also, collectively, somehow one country. Insane.

One country should have one government, with one set of laws, regulations, taxes, policies, and standards for the whole country (unitary). This whole "incubators of democracy" bullshit is completely unnecessary - we already know what to do. In reality, the corporations play the States off each other for the best deal - like when you shop for a car - and the vast majority of the citizens of this country get the shaft.

The Same, But Different

The Government will have three branches - judicial, legislative, and executive - and it will be a presidential-type republic. However, there will be three levels - national, regional, and local (no States, no counties). This is the same model as each State has now; in a sense, we will be expanding that form of government to cover the whole nation.

The legislature at each level will have only one house (unicameral). Don't say that we need two houses in the legislature, to make sure the common people get represented; that is a case of reverse psychology that has been practiced on you by those who want to rule you. It is "divide and conquer"; by splitting up the power among too many people, those who wish to be - and actually are at the moment - "the hidden controllers of our world" get to manipulate everyone.

13 Regions

Instead of 50 states, we will have 13 regions. These regions already exist; they developed naturally, primarily because of climate and geography (there is no reason to have the prefix "mega-"). The map shows 11 regions, plus Hawaii and Alaska makes 13 regional governments. To be clear: these "governments" are levels of the one government of the country; like cities and counties, they have no independent existence.

Each region will send one senator to the national legislature. The 535 members of Congress today is absurdly too many. The vast majority of humans can only know a maximum of about 150 people well. Family, friends, business associates, the President, Vice-President, Cabinet, each Senator's own staff, the other Senators and someone from each of their staffs, elected and appointed officials from the region the Senator is from, etc. It adds up easily to 150 people. Humans are social animals; we cannot get good government from people who don't know each other well.

13 Month Calendar

Why do we have a 12 month calender? A circle is 360 deg., and that divides evenly by 12. Well, why is that important? Because the signs of the zodiac then have exactly 30 deg. each, which is why our months are mostly 30 days.

Except that the year has 365 and 1/4 days, so we have to add one day to a few months (31 days), and one day each four years. Do you want a calendar based on astrology? That's the calendar we have now.

If instead we base our calendar on the facts of nature, we can have a 13 month calendar. This gives us 12 months of exactly 28 days - 4 weeks of 7 days, like now - plus one month of 29 days, which will be New Years Day. Every human needs at least one day of rest every seven; that is not religion, it's biology. We will still add one day every fourth year (leap year); that won't change. It should be added to the 13th month (the one with 29 days), to keep the other 12 months at exactly 28 days each.

The President can establish a tradition of visiting one of the regions each month; a society needs traditions and culture, there can't be a law for everything in life.

Election of President

The President will be elected by popular vote; no Electoral College. There must be at least one person who represents all the citizens of the country; with popular election, the President would be that one person.

American English

All government documents - including street signs - should be only in American English. Anyone who wants to be a citizen, legal resident, or do business in this country should be fluent in the same language. We are not banning other languages, of course; you are free to learn any additional language you choose.

One Culture

Not all cultures are equally as valuable or as Good as all others. "Multiculturalism" is incompatible with a stable, peaceful, prosperous country. No, you are not free to do whatever you want.

New Constitution, New Name

This new form of government, and the other changes, will require a new Constitution. This new Constitution will embody some of the philosophy of John Locke, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the USA, and the Bill of Rights. However, it must explicitly state that it is the right of every human to tell the truth, but that no-one is free to lie. This will not guarantee that our government will not be invaded and hijacked by a clusterfuck of psychopaths - nothing can - but it will significantly reduce that probability.

The new Constitution must also explicitly state that corporations are not people, and do not have rights.

Also, with no States, the name "United States of America" will no longer make any sense. I propose "Democratic Republic of North America", but if someone has a better idea, I'm open to suggestions.

No Rich, No Poor, No Crime, No War

2012-01-28T12:02:00.000-08:00

Is it possible?

Possible? It would be easy for all the citizens of the USA (I am not including the illegal immigrants) to be provided with all the resources to meet their needs, and for most to have, in addition, a few luxuries. But not if we also have any rich people.

5% of the population - the psychopaths - want a world in which they have many times more than enough, and everyone else - those of us who can develop a conscience - have less than enough, so that they have all of the power and we have none. The Authoritarian Conservatives - 25% of the population - are fine with this, even though it is "against their own interests", because they have been infected with Calvinism, which teaches them they are sinful, and therefore deserve to be poor.

If Obama actually did what he says, his approval rating would be through the roof. Bush pandered to the Religious Right, while actually serving the rich (and Israel); Obama panders to the Liberals, while actually serving the rich (and Israel).

What's it going to take to get human culture and legitimate government in this country?

Illegal Immigrants

2012-01-26T15:35:00.000-08:00

First, why won't the US Government defend our nation's borders? Because Capitalism wants a constant supply of cheap labor, that's why. So, by supporting the illegal immigrants, the Liberals are supporting Capitalism (which is inherently parasitism); and, by supporting Capitalism, the Conservatives are supporting illegal immigration.

OK, here's how to reverse the flood of illegal immigrants:

no free health care for illegals*
no free education for illegals*
no automatic citizenship for children born here if either parent is illegal
severe financial penalties for people or companies found to be employing illegals, enough so that it is impossible to make a profit while in violation of the law

*note: the children of illegals, if born elsewhere and came into USA illegally, are also illegal immigrants

Freedom vs. Truth

2012-01-25T14:44:00.000-08:00

Psychopaths promote freedom as the highest good, because THEY want to be free to pursue all their ridiculous and evil bullshit. For those who can develop a conscience, truth trumps freedom always and everywhere.

By accepting freedom as the highest good, you preserve not only the freedom to tell the truth, but also the freedom to lie; in actual practice the FREEDOM to lie inevitably becomes the REQUIREMENT to lie.

The distribution of inherited qualities is not equal between men and women, or between the races; but the Griggs decision requires employers – and therefore schools – to pretend it’s not true.

No government can have the legitimate authority to require us to lie; but, you will not get “our” government to actually stop requiring it unless and until you reject the culture of lying (brand name: “Freedom!”). To restore this country – and not have it immediately start sliding right back to where we are now – you’re going to have to become willing to subjugate freedom to truth; it IS a practical matter.

The Heritability of Psychopathy: Implications and Considerations

2011-10-28T19:48:00.000-07:00

If a person inherits the sickle cell gene from one parent but not the other, that person has immunity from malaria with no side effects. In the tropics, it's like winning the lottery. However, if a person inherits that gene from both parents, he/she has sickle cell anemia, and it's a death sentence.

If a person inherits the homosexual gene from one parent but not the other, that person is bi-sexual, and has a significantly higher probability of successfully reproducing. However, if a person inherits that gene from both parents, he/she is a homosexual, and has much lower chance of reproducing.

[Technical note: this is called "rate-limiting".]

Similarly, if a person inherits the psychopath gene from both parents - let's call him a "Double-Dose" - he (and the Double-Doses are all male) is the conventional understanding of the word "psychopath." They are the ones who rape, torture, and/or murder with their own hands. Most of the literature on psychopaths has come from studying these Double-Dose ones. They are 1% of the population.

However, if a person - male or female - inherits the psychopath gene from one parent but not the other, that person is a "Half-Path." As the name implies, the Half-Path is only half as psychopathic as the Double-Dose; this has given rise to the word "sociopath." This is a misnomer, because it is an inherited defect, not the result of socialization. No-one who did not inherit the psychopath gene from either parent can be tortured or abused into being a psychopath; anyone who received the psychopath gene from either or both parent(s) will develop the psychopathic personality no matter how they are raised. They are another 4% of the population.

Unlike the Double-Dose, the Half-Path does not typically rape, torture or murder with his/her own hands; like the Double-Dose, the Half-Path cannot feel he/she has done anything wrong. They are the white-collar criminals who caused the financial crisis. They are the politicians who feel just fine about pretending to be whatever the voters seem to want at any given time, then once in office do whatever they want. They are the higher-ups in the Catholic Church who, when they learn a priest has been molesting children, move that priest to another church and don't tell anyone at the new church that he was molesting children at the old one, thereby protecting and facilitating Evil.

The psychopaths - Double-Dose and Half-Path - are White, Black, and Asian; they are rich and poor; they are Republican and Democrat; they are Conservative and Liberal; they are Capitalist and Communist.

Why Calvinism Is So Evil

2011-06-13T11:35:00.000-07:00

The Authoritarian Conservatives (aka the TEA Party, pka the Whigs) think it's wrong that there is a middle-class, and they think that because of something you may never have heard of: Calvinism.

In the Calvinist cosmogony, material wealth / financial success is a result of being "right with God."

THEREFORE, if someone has extreme wealth, that person has been "blessed by God." And, if someone is poor, it's a sign that they need to "get right with God", because He will then "bless you" with prosperity.

ALSO, this means that "helping poor people" is "going against God's plan."

How does being "middle-class" - having enough money and other resources to meet all of your needs (and your family's, if applicable), and have a few luxuries - fit into this world-view? It doesn't, and so it must be destroyed.

The 4th D: NOT Fluid?

2011-04-07T19:16:00.000-07:00

[Note: Because the only reason anybody speaks in terms of "Densities" is channeled material, with no independent corroboration, I will speak of dimensions only.]

As I noted in my 2008 article Dimensions, People, and Bodies, there is a 4th spatial dimension, which makes Time the 5th dimension.

The somewhat good site Operation Terra gave me the idea of absorbing energy to move from 3rd to 4th D, with the analogy of an ice cube absorbing heat to change state (become liquid). This made sense - become more "energetic" to move up a level - and there's the odd behavior of UFOs and mothmen (plus an electron exhibiting wave-like properties in the slit experiment, which requires a HUGE amount of more-than-normal energy be put into that particle), so I had been thinking of 4th D as more "fluid" relative to this existence.

But what if they're not fluid? Dogs don't understand anything about cars or airplanes, so some of our comings and goings must seems quite bizarre/mysterious to them. Does that make us "fluid"?

Original Sin

We - "the human race" - used to be 4th D STS (Service To Self). We decided that we wanted to switch over to an STO (Service To Others) orientation, but that is easier said than done - the Food Pyramid doesn't want to let anyone go. So we asked for help, and a 6th D person agreed to help us. But everything has a cost...

The Fall

We - each of us individually - had to separate from our shadow selves. They remained on 4th D, while we "fell" to 3-dimensional consciousness. The task for each of us now is to re-integrate with the shadow without being dominated by it, thereby reversing The Fall but on the STO tip. Carl Jung's work on the shadow self in the field of psychology is not that itself, but is preparation for the real thing; a way to practice. The "Polar Bear" work of Boris Mouravieff also serves this purpose.

You used to be one, then you became two
Now that you are two, what will you do?
- "Jesus", Gospel of Thomas, #11

When you make the two into one...
Then you will enter the kingdom.
- "Jesus", Gospel of Thomas, #22

Q. To what, therefore, is the whole philosophic combination reduced?
A. The development of one into two, and the reduction of two into one, and nothing further.
- Paracelsus, Alchemical Catechism

"In the shadow is the gold"- Carl Jung

Free Will

"The earth knows that he loves it and it bestows on him its care... Only if one loves this earth with unbending passion can one release one's sadness... The sadness belongs only to those who hate the very thing that gives shelter to their beings."
- Juan Matus, Tales of Power

The Greeks called this 6th D person "Sophia"; she gave us her body to live on and in. "The Earth" (Gaia) is our 3D-consciousness perception of her.

There is apparently a wide-spread belief - even among those who ought to know better - that there is a Cosmic Law requiring even the forces of Evil to respect Free Will. That is New Age-y nonsense. They obviously do not respect it, and violate it all the time... if they can. There's the rub. It's not a Law, it's just reality. To trump someone else's free will, a being has to be at least the same level. This means that 4th and 5th D Evil cannot do anything to us that The Goddess doesn't allow.

But here's where it gets tricky. In order to provide a possibility of what we're trying to accomplish, she severely limits the ability of 4th, 5th, and 6th D Evil people to interfere in our affairs; but, she's only helping, not trying to do it for us, so it's limitation not complete prevention. Also, the "inorganic beings"/the "mud shadows"/the "machine race", are our own shadow selves, and we have free will so they have free will.

And they don't want to re-integrate.

They like it this way. So the Shadows are using their/our free will in accomplishing what they want. What do they want? What are the shadow self's motivations? All anger is fear, all hate is pain.They/we need healing, but they don't want what they need. They want to dominate us, and they want to make it permanent. I said everything has a cost, and it does... but there is/was also real danger.

"They're not out yet."
- Agent Smith, The Matrix

It's Complicated

Time being the 5th dimension, 5th D people can move about in time as easily as we move in length, width, and height/depth. 4th D people can see through time far better than we can, but cannot move through it. Our Shadows - being 4th D - see through time but cannot move around in it, so they enlist the aid of 5th D Evil people (who want to prevent us from becoming 4th D STO), who can "move through time"; the 5th D Evil cannot intervene directly in the physical realms, but can communicate with 3rd and 4th D people in "the past" and "the future."
[Note: matter cannot maintain integrity upon being subjected to the enormous amount of energy it would require to make matter move faster than light/backwards in time... but I digress.]

Our souls remain at 5th D, with connections to both our 4th D shadow selves and our 3D incarnations.

Alien Invasion

Human beings associate domination and violation with "reptilian." The Shadows know this and are perfectly willing to have us perceive them as "lizard beings" (those who don't have a visceral reaction to reptiles, but are freaked out by bugs, may perceive them as "insectoid"); they may even deliberately project that image or vibe (or combination of images and vibes - telepathic hypnosis) into our minds. Magicians call it misdirection. [That Wikipedia page is actually quite good (and a Buffy reference!).]

"Everything you've seen is an illusion, it's a trick."
- Herr Eisenheim, The Illusionist

Chariots Of The Gods In A Plasma Universe

But what about all the stuff by Erich von Daniken and Zecharia Sitchin about ancient astronauts and the Annunaki of Nibiru? Wallace Thornhill and David Talbot have interesting evidence to support their claims of a cosmic "battle" that was witnessed by humans all around the world over the course of thousands of years ending only a few thousand years ago. The Goddess Religion reigned supreme - actually, exclusively - all over the world for about 25,000 years; it was replaced with polytheism between 10,000 and 5,000 BCE - again, all over the world. Alien visitation is one possible explanation; however, everyone witnessing a series of events that scared the shit out of them (in the sky day and night, and sometimes interplanetary lightning and/or solid impactors hitting Earth) would also account for it without any aliens.

Also, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Jacques Vallee and John Keel. Both investigated the UFO's in the 1960's and 70's, and both concluded it was a hyperdimensional phenomenon, not 3D aliens from thousands+ light years away.

So, the ancient astronauts/Nibiru crowd are mixing together four different things:

The Fall (see above)
descendants of 3D survivors of Atlantis (possessing/teaching advanced science technology)
individuals who reversed The Fall (alchemical Ascension)
the plasma structures, comet/planet interactions, and Earth changes witnessed and experienced thousands of years ago

Even from the point of view of people a few centuries later the distinctions would have started to blur, and even more so today.

The Greys

There are two kinds of Greys:

The higher grade was created by the Secret Government working for the Shadows, and are reserved for the Shadows' use. They are more intelligent, more agile, move faster, and have better precision. They travel in craft that either are 4th D or have some 4th D characteristics.

The Secret Gov then used what they learned from that experience to make their own Greys. The lower grade Greys are bumbling idiots in comparison, like a Keystone Cops version. The Secret Gov is happy to supply "useful idiots" in the apparent government with various evidence of the reality of physical aliens, which is kept secret, then "disclosed" for entertainment (entrainment) value ... see misdirection above.

The Panacea, The Philosopher's Stone and The Wave

For the past several thousand years, it was very useful for anyone significantly advanced on the path of alchemy to make and take the "panacea" (universal medicine) or "elixir of life" (from Arabic al-iksir, "a dry white powder") which would heal the adept of all his ailments. This would not only help give him strength to carry on the Great Work, but buy him additional time - often another human lifetime or two - so that all that had been accomplished in one life would not be lost upon death. Otherwise, he would have to start over in the next incarnation, decreasing the probability of "making the Philosopher's Stone" (reversing The Fall).

The situation we are now in is different, and presents us with an opportunity.

No Such Thing As A Greenhouse Gas

No such thing as a greenhouse gas? What about the hockey stick? As Jim McCanney has pointed out, the Earth loses 20 deg F each night if there's cloud cover, and 30 deg F if no clouds; and it's been like that since before industrialization. So right there it's obvious that AGW is bunkum.

So what's causing the climate to change? A few people have been predicting a Galactic Superwave or hyperdimensional Wave for many years, and indeed the amount of energy coming into the Earth has increased, causing blizzards, flooding, earthquake, tsunami, etc. It's been slowly building for several years and is only going to continue increasing. Reversing The Fall takes an enormous amount of energy, so get ready to ride the lightning, my fellow metal-heads.

I steal to feed, I fight to breathe, through hunger not greed
I find these days it's the only way I can survive

WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE ?
IS THIS THE END, WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE ?

In this dusty city with all the gods on the hill
Will not one of them help us ?
The temple which they built is an empty shell
The people who I see, scurrying on the streets, oblivious to our needs
I wonder sometimes how so many could be so blind ?

WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE ?
IS THIS THE END, WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE ?

Today I stole the sun from the sky, the color from the heart of a rose
Today I took food from the hand of a starving child

WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE ?
IS THIS THE END, WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE ?

Electric Universe: I Was Right

2011-02-18T13:41:00.000-08:00

WTVY in Dothan AL notes that in the week of Feb. 7-14, 2011 the continental U.S. had 655 record lows and 66 record highs.

Yahoo News reports that Nowata OK swung 100 degrees F (from -31 to 79) in a week (from Feb. 10 to Feb. 17).

This was no surprise to me, as I had already described in my 2005 article "The True Cause of Global Warming" that we are transitioning from one state to another. As we approach the transition point, the system becomes unstable; one effect of this is that oscillation of the weather will increase in magnitude until we have completed the transition.

(The Stupid Crazy Liars insist that it is still Man-Made "Global Warming". The lies of liars do not invalidate the truth.)

What we are transitioning to we cannot say, and it may not be determined yet. Maybe it will be warmer, maybe cooler, maybe even more different than we have yet imagined. We can say for sure that it is not because of "greenhouse gases", and we cannot stop it.

The Change is coming. Those who resist it will be destroyed by it. Those who embrace it will be transformed by it.

Socialism: A Definition Essay in Two Parts

2010-10-11T12:25:00.000-07:00

The definitions of Socialism, Capitalism, and Communism to be found in dictionaries and encyclopedias are designed by those who serve the ruling class to prevent the establishment of legitimate government; therefore, new – correct – definitions are needed.

Socialism, a Meaning Untangled

Under Capitalism, the owners of a business venture externalize most of the costs of the business onto the employees, customers, environment, and/or whoever happens to be in the area of operations or where waste is dumped. Then the owners keep most of the profits for themselves, and the government fails to intervene to stop this parasitism. The human rights of the majority of the people will inevitably be violated in this system; therefore, it is inherently evil. A perfect example is the little-known practice of mountain-top mining. According to non-profit organization Coal River Wind's website,

"When externalities such as public health and environmental quality are factored in, a mountaintop removal mine ends up losing $600 million over its expected 17 year life. The costs of these externalities are taken in by the public in the form of health expenses and environmental clean up costs as well as lost resources..."

If the owners of the for-profit MTR (Mountain-Top Removal) company had to account for all of that six hundred mil, their balance sheet would look a little different.

Under Communism, The Collective is all; both the individual and the family are subjugated to the State. The human rights of most people will inevitably be violated under this system also; it is therefore also inherently evil – and for the same reason as Capitalism. The example of Communism most familiar to Americans would probably be “Communist China” (officially “The People's Republic of China”). From suppression of democracy and spirituality to forced family planning, Communist China is invasive and abusive (very much like a parent in a dysfunctional family). It can also be very inefficient; whereas Capitalism exerts too little control, Communism exerts too much control.

Under Socialism, the costs of a venture are spread out over the employees, customers, and possibly others, but unlike in Capitalism the profits are also spread out, and the environment can be protected. Whereas Capitalism pretends that nothing anyone does affects anyone else, and Communism pretends that the individual exists only as a member of a group, Socialism uniquely can recognize both that I am not you, and that everything everyone does affects everyone else in some way to some degree. The few who are profiting hugely from Capitalism have spent much time and effort indoctrinating the masses of this country to have a knee-jerk reaction to the word “Socialism”; they are scared witless at the prospect of their gravy train being interrupted. One area where most Americans are ready to accept Socialism, however, is in health-care. Why does health-care cost the U.S. so much every year? Because the U.S. does not have a health-care system; instead we have the Medical Business. And what do businesses do? Yes, they seek profit; but they also seek growth. The Capitalists have tried hard to erase the distinction between Socialism and Communism in the minds of most Americans; unfortunately, they have gotten a lot of help in this from... Socialists and Communists.

Karl Marx, Tragic Hero

No discussion of Socialism would be complete without mentioning the author of The Communist Manifesto, Mr. Karl Marx. Mr. Marx was incredibly prescient; he was born into the first generation after Europe had finally completed its transition from the Mercantile era to the Capitalist era, and he already saw the problems inherent in Capitalism. He also saw that Socialism was the cure for the problems of Capitalism. That was very intelligent, rational, and visionary of him. Unfortunately, that was where he lost it.

Dictionary.com defines tragic hero as “a literary character who makes an error of judgment or has a fatal flaw that, combined with fate and external forces, brings on a tragedy.” Although Karl was not a literary character, he had noble qualities and very high ability; his fatal error was in concluding that Socialism was merely a stepping stone on the way to Communism, which he predicted was inevitable. As we saw above, that is incorrect.

We the People institute a government because it benefits us to do so; the government, in turn, makes itself legitimate by protecting the people – all of the people. (Those who oppose legitimate government identify themselves as such by using the term “protection-ism” as though it is something to be avoided at all costs.) Socialism will not bring about a “worker's paradise.” What it will do is make possible that unrealized dream: legitimate government.

We Still Need Higher Quality Outrage

2010-07-16T18:21:00.000-07:00

[An essay I wrote for English class.]

A clear majority of Americans voted for “change” in the 2008 presidential election; why haven't we gotten it yet? The wars/occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan are still going, military spending has increased, “Gitmo” has not been shut down, the criminals who created the financial crisis/recession are not being prosecuted. Perhaps it is related to an idea put forth by Deborah Tannen (author of The Argument Culture) in the run-up to the 2004 presidential election, in “We Need Higher Quality Outrage.” Indeed, we do; however, the examples she gave in her piece were weak, and sometimes even examples of what she was criticizing. I will now correct that error.

Tannen opines “one can decry the fact that many of the contracts for rebuilding Iraq were awarded to Halliburton without claiming that the war was undertaken in order to enrich the company the vice president once led.” Well, sort of. Claiming that is the reason for the war may be unjustified, but criticizing (then V.P.) Dick Cheney for profiting from rebuilding a country he oversaw the destruction of is valid. Her statement that “one can argue that having received medals for heroic deeds in the Vietnam war does not equip John Kerry to execute the war in Iraq without seeking to discredit not only his, but all, Purple Hearts” is unarguably true. However, Tannen then fantasizes that “one can validly defend the way the war was conducted without accusing one's critics of undermining the war efforts.” No. Criticizing the way the Iraq war was conducted does undermine the war effort, and it should.

She really fails to engage in “higher quality outrage” with regard to 9/11, saying “one can argue that the president [then-president Bush] is using the Sept. 11 attacks to bolster his public profile without going so far as to claim (as does a message circulating on the internet) that he played a role in authorizing those attacks.” Well, even in 2004 there was a whole lot more than “a message” on the internet about that. In fact, even a cursory investigation makes it blindingly obvious that 9/11 could not have happened – the way it did actually happen – without top-level U.S. Government foreknowledge and co-operation. If you need a jump to get you going, try “Did 9/11 Justify the War in Afghanistan? Using the McChrystal Moment to Raise a Forbidden Question” by David Ray Griffin, and “Revealing new aerial photos of 9/11 attack released” by James Fetzer (be sure to watch the five-minute video by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth at the end of the article). Then, after you're done “being sick,” go to the website of Partnership for a New American Century. This NPO was created by the aforementioned Dick Cheney along with Don Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Judith Miller (then a reporter for the New York Times) and some others. They released a White Paper (“Rebuilding America's Defenses”) describing their plan for world domination via the U.S. Military controlling the global oil supply. Acknowledging that this would require a huge increase in military spending and that the American people had no appetite for that, they said they would need “a new Pearl Harbor” (p. 51); and, regarding invading Iraq and establishing permanent military bases there to use as a staging area for conducting attacks throughout the Middle East and Asia, they said Saddam Hussein's regime “provides the immediate justification” (p.14). They put these things in writing one year before 9/11.

On the issue of journalistic balance, Tannen also fails to achieve the desired quality in her outrage. The balanced approach in news coverage comes from our legal system, called the “adversarial system,” in which two opposing sides each state their case, presided over by a judge. This goes back to medieval times, which used “trial by combat” with the winner assumed to have been picked by God (</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theattrreac-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1572304510" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important" /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Without-Conscience-Disturbing-World-Psychopaths/dp/1572304510?ie=UTF8&tag=theattrreac-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969">Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theattrreac-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1572304510" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important" />DeBarba). So now the TV audience plays the role of God, and the news media offers up opposing views for us to pick from. Using Global Warming as an example, Tannen wails that “balance” requires one of “the few greenhouse skeptics” be given equal time, when “the vast majority agree” that it is true. Unfortunately for her and those “scientists,” agreement has nothing to do with science; it's what the evidence proves, and the evidence does not prove the “greenhouse effect.” As I put it in a paper I wrote on this subject, the greenhouse believers “duplicated an amount of energy from one stage of the process to the next, when in reality there is energy lost each time it is transferred from one place to another or from one form to another; this is eerily similar to the mechanism of hiding debt the Wall Street scammers engaged in that caused the financial crisis of 2008."

Tannen then calls for “peaceful yet passionate outrage.” Why that magical combination? “The challenges we face are monumental. Among them are the spread of nuclear weapons, the burgeoning number of individuals and groups who see the United States as a threat, and the question of how far to compromise our liberties and protections in the interest of security.” Again, no. There are monumental challenges we face, but those aren't them.

The first elephant in the room is the subject of the psychopaths: people whose brain defect makes them unable to feel they've done anything wrong. They know what society considers wrong, but they feel that's an unjust limit on their freedom. According to Canadian Ph.D. Psychologist Robert Hare, who has spent over three decades studying them, although psychopaths make up only one percent of the population, they are responsible for 50% of all crime. The complete failure of the mainstream media to acknowledge this huge factor in our society means most people know nothing about the great science that's been done on the subject. This allows the psychopaths to have an influence far outside their numbers, leading to a “culture of lying”; every year there are more stories of widespread cheating in schools, and the exposure of yet more fraud in both business and science.

The other elephant in the room is another one percent of the population: the richest one percent. In “Power in America: Wealth, Income, and Power,” hosted on the web by the sociology department of the University of California, Santa Cruz, William Domhoff reports that the share of the nation's wealth owned by the richest one percent has increased from 30% ten years ago to 35% today. Also, the top ten percent have 70% of the wealth and the top 20% have 85% of the wealth. To look at that from the other side, it means the bottom 80% have only 15% of the nation's wealth spread out among them, and even the bottom 90% have only 30% of the nation's wealth. So, when you are told we have a “representative system of government,” whose interests do you think they're going to represent? The president, senators, and governors have carte blanche to ignore 90% of the citizens (and maybe even 99%), because there are zero consequences for them when they do.

So, what can you do? Well, you have three options: one, mindless obedience while the government protects the right of the corporations to profit from poisoning you and your children; two, try to change the world – but you can't because the richest one percent have all the power and they are not going to let you change the world, so you will just waste your energy; or three, follow the clues and connect the dots with a willingness to find out what the truth is no matter what it turns out to be (and a willingness to allow that discovery to transform you into who you really are) which will grow your awareness like unto a shield, thereby significantly reducing the effect of the attack so you can recover from the attack even while still under attack. Then, if an opportunity generated from outside the system should occur in your lifetime, you will be able to take advantage of it by acting in favor of a better, more human, world.

Actually, Virginia, There Isn't a Greenhouse Effect

2010-07-13T18:59:00.000-07:00

Energy prices through the roof, food shortages killing millions (billions?), and a drastic decrease in living standards; are these going to be the result of man-made Global Warming (Anthropogenic Global Warming, or AGW)? Or the result of a belief in a lie? There is no such thing as a greenhouse gas, and the Greenhouse Model of Global Warming has never been scientific.

The vast majority of climate scientists agree that AGW has been proven. As recently as January 2009, CNN.com reported on a survey in which 97% of climatologists said they believed not only that the earth is warming, but that humans are contributing to the warming. Even a cursory perusal of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Wildlife Federation, and the Environmental Defense Fund immediately makes it clear that the science is settled. The world's scientific authorities insist AGW is real. Which is to say, carbon dioxide emissions from human industrialization are causing an increase in the greenhouse effect. Unfortunately for all these esteemed and well-funded authorities, the scientific method cares not for authority, agreement, or belief; it's what the evidence proves.

Those who promote belief in AGW like to trot out the planet Venus as “proof” of the greenhouse model. The atmosphere on Venus is full of carbon dioxide, and it's over 400 degrees C there. Pretty convincing, right? Actually no; that this has been so well received not only by the public but – alarmingly – also by many scientists shows the truly deplorable state of science education in the U.S. (and, apparently, other countries). As Steve Goddard explains in “Hyperventilating on Venus”, “...why is Venus hot? Because it has an extremely high atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure on Venus is 92x greater than Earth.” He goes on to say:

Wikipedia typifies the illogical “runaway greenhouse” argument with this statement:

Without the greenhouse effect caused by the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the temperature at the surface of Venus would be quite similar to that on Earth.

No it wouldn’t. 9000 kPa atmospheric pressure would occur on earth at an altitude many miles below sea level. No such place exists, but if it did – it would be extremely hot, like Venus. A back of the envelope estimate – temperatures on earth increase by about 80C going from 20 to 100 kPa, so at 9,000 kPa we would expect temperatures to be in the ballpark of :

20C + ln(9000/(100-20)) *80C = 400C

This is very close to what we see on Venus. The high temperatures there can be almost completely explained by atmospheric pressure – not composition. If 90% of the CO2 in Venus atmosphere was replaced by Nitrogen, it would change temperatures there by only a few tens of degrees.

Al Gore – Mr. Inconvenient Truth himself – has been promoting environmentalism for decades. Who has more credibility than him? That makes him ideal to front a scam called “cap and trade,” in which a market for carbon credits has been created, and in the land of cowboy-capitalism that inevitably means of course also speculation on carbon futures – expected to be a $2 Trillion market by 2014. OK, so here's an example of how the scam works, in three easy steps: first, the venture capital firm where Al is a partner invests $75 Million in a “smart grid” start-up called Silver Spring Networks; then, Al flies all over the country and world scaring the bejeezus out of everyone about “Global Warming,” for example testifying before Congress that we must “put a price on carbon”; finally, the U.S. Energy Dept. announces $3.4 Billion dollars in “smart grid” grants (now where have I heard that term before?), of which over $500 Million goes to companies that have contracts with... wait for it... Silver Spring Networks! Ohmigod! What a great investment that turned out to be. Al also recently bought a mansion in California (for nearly nine million dollars), which has “six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms” as reported by the Los Angeles Times; that's not exactly walkin' the talk. He likes to indignantly insist that all the profits from his “green” investments go to his non-profit organization to promote environmental causes. Therefore, it's a mystery how his net worth went from under $2 Million in the year 2000 to over $100 Million just seven years later. I love the environment; wish I was worth a hundred mill.

If you research AGW in the mainstream media, you will undoubtedly come across the name of Svante Arrhenius. He allegedly proved the “Greenhouse Effect” on which all these prognostications that are being made today depend. However, as geologist Timothy Casey pointed out:

...Arrhenius' 'Greenhouse Effect' must be driven by recycling radiation from the surface to the atmosphere and back again. Thus, radiation heating the surface is re-emitted to heat the atmosphere and then re-emitted by the atmosphere backto accumulate yet more heat at the earth's surface. Physicists such as Gerlich & Tscheuschner (2007 and 2009) are quick to point out that this is a perpetuum mobile of the second kind - a type of mechanism that creates energy from nothing.

Basically, Arrhenius duplicated an amount of energy from one stage of the process to the next, when in reality there is energy lost each time it is transferred from one place to another or from one form to another; this is eerily similar to the mechanism of hiding debt the Wall Street scammers engaged in that caused the financial crisis of 2008.

So, if the Greenhouse Effect is not in effect on a global scale, then why is the earth warming? Or, is it warming? In November of 2009, someone released to the world over 1000 e-mails from the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU); the IPCC relies on the CRU for key datasets in its research on Global Warming. Andrew Bolt of the Melbourne (Aus) Herald Sun wrote that the e-mails suggested “...conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more”. So much for consensus. Damage control from those involved was to call the leaker a “hacker”, but Bolt dismissed this, saying the leak was “... clearly not the work of some hacker, but of an insider who’s now blown the whistle”.

We appear to be at the end of an approximately 10,000 year period of relative stability of our climate on this big blue marble; at the point of transition of a system from one state to another, the system becomes unstable. Or perhaps the Standard Model is wrong, and we really do live in an Electric Universe, and that is what is causing the warming – or is it cooling? Maybe the human race is caught in a cycle we do not comprehend, and we are destined to be the basis for the next legend of a lost civilization (the United States of Atlantis?). Or, maybe, we just don't know what is happening or why.

But no one likes that answer.

The Obamacare Catastro-Fudge: Worse Than You Think

2010-07-01T11:41:00.000-07:00

You are a victim of psychological warfare. After many months of debate in Congress, President Barack Obama's major reform of our health care system was finally enacted. Do you remember that? It didn't happen. There was no “health care” debate, and no “health care” legislation was passed. The “debate” was only about insurance. The “health care system” in the U.S. is so expensive ($2.39T in 2008, $2.5T in 2009; “Introduction to the Health Care Industry”) because we don't have a health care system; instead, we have the Medical Business.

The business model of the “health care” industry – doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies – is the treatment of diseased conditions via drugs and surgery. If you die, that ends the revenue stream. So, they are trying to prevent that outcome. However, if you get healthy – healthy people are , by definition, not sick – that also ends the revenue stream. So, they are trying to prevent that outcome too. They need you to be somewhere between: alive, but sick. Therefore, anything that actually makes you healthy is a threat to them. Instead of the popular term “health care providers”, doctors should be called “practitioners of the Medical Business.” That's the business they're in. Perhaps, by providing the proper context, that would clear up some confusion.

Much in the same way as your car runs on gas, the Medical Business runs on fraud. A couple recent examples:
As reported in Scientific American magazine in 2009, "Over the past 12 years, anesthesiologist Scott Reuben” fabricated “at least 21” studies, which “led to the sale of billions of dollars worth of ... COX2 inhibitors” (Borrell). He's now on leave.
Then, over the winter of 2009-10, we had the swine flu/H1N1 “pandemic”... or did we? According to Gerd Gigerenzer (“director of the Centre for Adaptive Behaviour and Cognition at the Max Planck Institute in Germany”), "The problem is not so much that communicating uncertainty is difficult, but that uncertainty was not communicated. There was no scientific basis for the WHO’s estimate of 2 billion for likely H1N1 cases, and we knew little about the benefits and harms of the vaccination” (qtd. in Cohen). [Emphasis added.] But wait, it gets even worse! “Key scientists advising the World Health Organization on planning for an influenza pandemic had done paid work for pharmaceutical firms that stood to gain from the guidance they were preparing. These conflicts of interest have never been publicly disclosed by WHO, and WHO has dismissed inquiries into its handling of the A/H1N1 pandemic as 'conspiracy theories'.” (Cohen)

What we have a real epidemic of is obesity. Not just an issue of appearance or comfort, the fact of being obese significantly increases the probability of developing a wide range of other diseases, or makes them worse, warns an editorial in the American Heart Association journal Circulation (Matter and Handschin). But the million dollar question is, what is causing this obesity epidemic? The conventional wisdom is “overeating”; the Medical Business would have us believe we're fat because of an increase in calories, especially fat. Logically, then, we should all cut calories by cutting fat from our diet; and this is indeed what most doctors – pardon me, practitioners of the Medical Business – recommend. However, in 2007 science writer Gary Taubes published the results of his investigation of this issue, Good Calories, Bad Calories. In it, he documents the evidence that the vast majority of the increase in calories over the past four decades was from two sources: refined grains and sugar (neither of which is fat.) So the practitioners of the Medical Business are recommending a diet which has been proven to make most people fat and sick! “Ask your doctor if blah blah blah is right for you...”

What if we could significantly reduce costs and improve health, all without the “socialized medicine” that the conservatives are so deathly afraid of? Well, as Gary Taubes work indicates, cutting the grains and sugar instead of dietary fat could tame the obesity monster. Also, a study by Creighton University found that simply getting a little over 1,000 IU's of vitamin D3 per day (about three times the RDA) cut the incidence of all cancers in half. And then there's sleep. The National Sleep Foundation has claimed that the average American got 10 hours of sleep per night before the invention of the light bulb, compared to seven today (Sleep: part 2). Telling a chronically sleep-deprived nation to “eat less and exercise more” isn't just stupid and insane, it's evil.

So you tell the hard-charging go-getters who pretend America is so magically delicious that we can leave people to fend for themselves and it's still their fault when they're not successful, “We can't afford it!”, and then go take a nap in the early afternoon sun. Just don't burn.

Making the World Safe for Cancer
by Alison Rose Levy

Ex. "When it comes to increasing cancer rates, we've done everything right. We couldn't have done it better if we'd actually planned it...

• For 35 years, pour billions of dollars into vested institutions aiming to self-perpetuate via a perennial "war on cancer" featuring intense and costly treatments, which, according to a GAO report, failed to substantively increase actual survival rates once you factor in reductions in lung cancer deaths thanks to smoking cessation...

• Overlook numerous studies that reveal a wide range of cancer causative factors, including pesticides, toxins, metals, pollutants, food additives, industrial chemicals, endocrine disruptors and other carcinogens--80,000 of them in wide use ...

Oh, and don't overlook one crucial element: It's essential to have a health care model that:

• Claims the human organism can process anything we can dish out

• Cuts out any human body parts that can't

• Never tests an individual's body burden of toxins

• Sneers at detoxification practices..."

The Financial Oligarchy Reigns: Democracy’s Death Spiral From Greece to the United States

By David DeGraw

Ex. "... as President Franklin D. Roosevelt put it: “The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” ...

The primary reason why 99% of the American population is experiencing the beginning phase of their downward shift in living standards, and the reason the free market and our government have become a farce, as our Forefathers warned, is because large politically-dominate bankers have become so powerful that they are able to rig the market and economic system in their favor and eliminate competition.

To break it down statistically, when six inter-connected banks, all organized in the Federal Reserve system, control over 60% of GDP and have the power to issue currency, competition is impossible. The game is over. They wield so much power that society and government are effectively captured and dominated by this Oligarchy...

What happened on September 29, 2008 will go down in history as one of the greatest acts of terrorism ever.

9/29/08 proved that when you have so much power concentrated in the hands of a few, you can manipulate a computer algorithm and make the market and economy go whichever way you want it to go. So on 5/6/10, just as the power of the big banks was again threatened on the floor of the Senate and a deal on auditing the Federal Reserve was being negotiated, in came a sudden and unprecedented ten-minute 700 point market drop, a precision-guided High Frequency Trading (HFT) attack to show Congress who’s boss.

If you think the massive sudden drop happened because one lowly trader hit one wrong button, if you actually believe that the entire stock market can plunge because of one mistaken key stroke by a low-level trader, you are stunningly naïve. I hate to burst your bubble, but this was a direct attack..."

The Culture of Critique reviewed by "Stanley Hornbeck"

Ex. " ... The series is written from a sociobiological perspective that views Judaism as a unique survival strategy that helps Jews compete with other ethnic groups... While attempting to promote the brotherhood of man by dissolving the ethnic identification of gentiles, Jews have maintained precisely the kind of intense group solidarity they decry as immoral in others...

He is saying, in effect, that when Jews make the diversity-is-our-strength argument it is in support of their real goal of diluting a society's homogeneity so that Jews will feel safe. They are couching a Jewish agenda in terms they think gentiles will accept. Likewise, as the second part of the Silberman quotation suggests, Jews may support deviant movements, not because they think it is good for the country but because it is good for the Jews...

Prof. MacDonald traces the development of this diversity strategy to several sources. It is widely recognized that the German-Jewish immigrant Franz Boas (1858-1942) almost single-handedly established the current contours of anthropology, ridding it of all biological explanations for differences in human culture or behavior. Prof. MacDonald reports that he and his followers – with the notable exceptions of Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict – were all Jews with strong Jewish identities: "Jewish identification and the pursuit of perceived Jewish interests, particularly in advocating an ideology of cultural pluralism as a model for Western societies, has been the 'invisible subject' of American anthropology."

By 1915, Boas and his students controlled the American Anthropological Association and by 1926 they headed every major American university anthropology department. From this position of dominance they promoted the idea that race and biology are trivial matters, and that environment counts for everything. They completely recast anthropology so as to provide intellectual support for open immigration, integration, and miscegenation. They also laid the foundation for the idea that because all races have the same potential, the failures of non-whites must be blamed exclusively on white oppression. The ultimate conclusion of Boasian anthropology was that since environment accounts for all human differences, every inequality in achievement can be eliminated by changing the environment. This has been the justification for enormous and wasteful government intervention programs..." [Emphasis added.]

The Al-Kemi of the Amazon

2010-05-10T19:56:00.000-07:00

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
- George Santayana

There is a man-made soil in the Amazon region of South America; it is "thousands" of years old (how many thousands? we'll get back to that); and its properties are so amazing, the best soil scientists in the world haven't been able to recreate it after decades of effort.

From Terra Preta, Magic Soil of the Lost Amazon :

"It controls water and reduces leaching
of nutrients from the rhizosphere. Rich in humus, pieces
of pre-Columbian unfired clay pottery, and black carbon, it’s
like a “microbial reef” that promotes and sustains the growth
of mycorrhizae and other beneficial microbes, and it has been
shown to retain its fertility for thousands of years. In university
trials, terra preta has increased crop yields by as much as 800
percent. It regrows itself when excavated."
(Emphasis added.)

They're all excited about the potential to reduce global warming, but I'm more interested in just how old this stuff really is, and who made it. The academic investigators assure us it was made by indigenous people in Amazonia for about 2,000 years, but it seems to me like more of an assumption than actual proved fact. First of all, the indigenous population had no idea how to make the stuff immediately after the Europeans invaded (and remember, we're still trying to figure out how to make it); also, it's so widespread throughout the Amazon basin that some have suggested the rainforest is a man-made ecosystem.

Terra preta is Portuguese for "black earth". Hmmmm, now where have I heard something like "black earth" before? Oh yeah, "alchemy" supposedly got its name from ancient Egypt, which was supposed to have been called "the black land". But that never made any sense. Egypt's soil isn't black.

Perhaps "the Art and Science of al-kemi" meant the wisdom of the culture that had created this "magical soil", preserved in symbol and allegory for ... 10,000 years? Perhaps "the Art and Science of the Black Land" should be taken quite literally.

Capitalism = Parasitism, Ex. # 1: Mountaintop Mining

2010-04-17T15:34:00.000-07:00

A non-profit organization commissioned a study from an environmental firm to compare a proposal by a coal company for REMOVING the top of a mountain with the NPO's proposal to construct a wind farm on top of the mountain.

This study found that over the 17 year expected life of the mountaintop coal mine, the Raleigh County Government would receive a total of about $30 million from the wind farm, but only a little over $600,000 in "coal severance taxes". Sounds like a pretty serious disparity, huh?

But wait - here's the kicker! The coal mine would cost $600 million "in the form of health expenses and environmental clean up costs as well as lost resources."

$600K out to get $600M back? Wow, what a great "opportunity"! But the only way the mountaintop removal company can make a profit is by "externalizing" the vast majority of the true costs onto the public, while keeping the vast majority of the revenue. Revenue - cost = profit; America really is the greatest nation ever. If the company had to bear those costs itself, why it'd be a huge loser.

I lied - that wasn't the kicker. The real kicker is: the coal company in question? It's Massey Energy. That's right, they own the mine that killed 29 employees on 4/5/10. E.J. Dionne reports that the "Upper Big Branch Mine has been cited for safety violations 1,342 times since 2005."

But if anyone dares criticize this murder-for-money, the parasites will claim that WE are parasites - or worse, "socialists" (gasp!).

The Conservative Threat

2010-02-26T08:44:00.000-08:00

Gregory Paul, a freelance researcher/artist/author in the field of paleontology since the late 1970's, has recently put out an essay on the socio-economic impact of religion, "The Chronic Dependence of Popular Religiosity upon Dysfunctional Psychosociological Conditions." At the end of the second page is this line:

"...the development of a middle class majority that is sufficiently financially and socially secure due to progressive secular socioeconomic policies consistently results in a serious and measurable decline in religiosity." [emphasis added.]

Ahhhh, now we can understand why the religious right in the U.S.A. opposes and attacks government regulations and social programs with such fervor (and why they hate and resent the example of western Europe).

However, he makes an epistemoligical error conflating "religion"/"going to church" with spirituality; in my experience, people who score the highest on "religiosity" are the least spiritual people. According to the science of inherited preferences, 40% of the population are SJ/Conservatives; 40% SP/Artisans; 10% NT/Rationals; and 10% NF/Idealists. The SP's and NF's together are what the Conservatives call "Liberals", with the Rationals pretty much ignored in the national debate.

The problem isn't that there are these four groups, or that each one has certain characteristic qualities; the problem is trying to force the other groups to be like you. In my personal experience, the SP's, NF's, and NT's are all open to learning about this, and accepting the need to not force the way they are on other groups or individuals. The SJ/Conservatives, however, don't seem to want to know about it; they just see the way they are as the right way to be, and they think all the problems of the world are because of lack of conservatism.

The Conservatives are high in shame but low in compassion (their lack of compassion matches the psychopaths' lack of compassion, hence the Unholy Alliance). The SP's are the mirror image of the SJ's in this regard: high on compassion, but low on shame (the Conservatives like to decry the Liberals as "shameless"). The SJ's obsession with stability and security can bring benefits to society, so they do not need to be eliminated; however, their genetic inability to feel compassion means they cannot be allowed to be in charge, at any level, in business or government.

The rest of us - who make up 60% of the population - have a right to defend ourselves against the threat that the Conservatives represent. The culture of leaving people to fend for themselves is an environment that selects for the qualities of the psychopath: ignorant, arrogant, shallow, greedy and callous. People who love that culture are evil people, and should not be treated with respect or given the benefit of the doubt.

There is no limit to the value of the scientific method. America is not magical. Reality does exist here. Everything that everyone does affects everyone else in some way to some degree; so, you are not free to do whatever you want. You are not free to be whoever you want. You are not free to believe whatever you want. The truth is good; the lie is evil.

Schizophrenia Is A Physical Ilness

2010-02-16T12:59:00.000-08:00

With Obvious Mental and Non-Obvious Physical Symptoms

"Listen to me, coppertop."
- Switch, to Neo, in The Matrix

The term "schizophrenia" was coined by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1908 from Greek words meaning "split mind." This has led to the public confusion with "split personality" - now called Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) - when the split Bleuler meant was a mind split from reality.

Unfortunately, the mistake is far worse than that; we now know after a century of science that so-called schizophrenia is not a "mental" illness at all, but a physical illness. The Medical Business (which markets itself as "the health care system") now says that what is inherited is a "susceptibility" to developing the disease, and that something in the environment "triggers" the illness; but without the physical illness, the alleged triggers don't have anything to trigger, so what role does the environment really play? The fact that all books on schizophrenia are in the Psychology section of bookstores and libraries only perpetuates the public's misconception.

Thanks to the pioneering work of two medical doctors who were also both Ph.D.'s - American Carl Pfeiffer and Canadian Abram Hoffer - and others, we now know that 80% of sufferers of so-called schizophrenia have inherited a combination of genes that makes then metabolize copper at either a much higher or much lower than normal rate. This unusual copper metabolism throws off brain levels of nicotinic acid (the original name of what's now called niacin/vit B3). The same number - 80% - "self-medicate" with tobacco cigarettes; wouldn't taking a niacin pill be better?

50% of so-called schizophrenics inherited a combination of genes that makes them metabolize copper at a much lower rate than normal. Thus a normal intake of copper builds up the copper level over many years (typical onset of mental symptoms 18-25 for men, 25-35 for women - estrogen seems to protect the women from the copper longer); this excess copper has a cascade of effects, including destroying zinc directly, and increasing the metabolism of various B vitamins, thereby lowering histamine (B-6 is needed to make the enzyme that converts amino acid histidine into hormone/neurotransmitter histamine, folic acid and B-12 together raise histamine). So, they need to:
1.) avoid copper like the plague
2.) take a B-50 after breakfast
3.) take at least 100mg niacin after lunch (Abram Hoffer used 1-6 grams/day; those amounts require doctor supervision)
4.) take 30mg zinc (Optizinc) after dinner (300mg magnesium recommended also)

Another 30% of so-called schizophrenics have the opposite problem: they inherited a combination of genes that makes them metabolize copper at a much higher rate than normal. This raises zinc and B vitamins, thereby raising histamine. This group must:
1.) strictly limit B vitamins (except for niacin)
2.) get copper
3.) no need to take extra zinc

Another 10% of so-called schizophrenia is caused by hypothyroidism (itself under-diagnosed and under-treated), which leaves only 10% from all other causes (physical and/or psychological).

What if cancer patients were told they have a "little understood mental illness", and prescribed psych-meds, which they have to take to get government benefits, but which don't help the actual problem, and which do have severe negative "side effects" (aka "effects") incl. weight gain (40-50 pounds) and dysfunction of glucose metabolism causing type 2 diabetes, and then when the cancer patients have high rates of non-compliance, the only response from the Medical Business is to repeat "It's very important to take your meds." Wouldn't that be EVIL?

Q: Then why isn't it EVIL to do that to the most vulnerable people in our society - sufferers of so-called schizophrenia (because the mental effects of their physical illness makes them unable to defend themselves against the Medical Business' predation)?
A: It IS, you sick Evil fucks.

Tara Parker-Pope Is A Stupid Crazy Liar

2008-10-30T11:26:00.000-07:00

The "Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial" (SELECT) by the National Cancer Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health has been ended early because the people conducting the trial were afraid that it was doing more harm than good. They were right, it was - but that's because they weren't using Vitamin E.

Vitamin E is made of 4 components called "tocopherols". These 4 tocopherols are always present when you find vitamin E in food. (The same may not be true of Vitamin C. Most animals synthesize their own vit C; their bodies make ascorbic acid, not "vit C bio-flavonoids".)

So now these researchers spend $ 114 million of our taxpayer money to do a study allegedly on vitamin E and selenium, and then they use not only one tocopherol instead of all 4 , but according to the trial's website they use dl-alpha tocopherol which is the synthetic version! Hey, idiots: a synthetic chemical copy of one of the 4 components of vitamin E is not vitamin E. This "study" was clearly designed to "prove" that vitamins are dangerous so as to scare people into taking prescription drugs instead.

Then, after all that, along comes Tara Parker-Pope, wellness columnist for The New York Times (the nation's paper of record) and says that "The SELECT study is among the most credible studies of a vitamin or supplement ever performed.", thereby identifying herself as a Stupid Crazy Liar.

P.S.

You can buy a vitamin E supplement; it should say "mixed tocopherols", be from a food source, and be in its natural form - a liquid inside a gelcap. Store it in a cool, dry, dark place.

Mad Men Is An Evil Show

2008-03-08T13:01:00.000-08:00

Once upon a time, the New York City of 1960s advertising executives seemed impossibly cool to "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner. "I looked at these guys, at this world, these men who were overpaid and drank too much and smoked too much and were glib and cynical and bit the hand that fed them all the time and showed up late and had no respect for authority, and I thought, 'These are my heroes,' " he says. OK, funny line.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, Mike Duffy, you idiot, it isn't a funny line; he really means it. AMC's new original series "Mad Men" is, like HBO's "The Sopranos" before it, a glamorization and promotion of psychopaths and sociopaths. Weiner's list of anti-social behaviors, his use of the word "glib" (as in glib, flippant liars), and his explicit identification of them leading a "double life" (later in the Duffy article) make it clear about whom he is talking.

There is now a strong push to "position" psychopaths as not only fascinating and admirable, but even as heroes, as Weiner explicated above. Weiner worked as a producer on Sopranos, which was apparently a test case to see if the public would accept this "op". The HBO series presented the main character as a liar and murderer who was also a family man dealing with all the normal stuff of modern American life. So far, they are portraying the psychopath accurately, which could have been a service to humanity - to show everyone what these people are really like. (Not all psychopaths kill, but the mask of sanity aspect is always there.)

But then they added "the twist": he secretly feels bad about killing and torturing people. This is not reality. Psychopaths are - as the movie The Terminator perfectly encapsulated in metaphor - like "machines in human clothing." They do not feel bad about harming others in pursuit of their goals. To show him in counseling sessions with his psychiatrist is an attempt to get us to feel sympathy for the psychopath. That's Evil.

Then came Mad Men; now the psychopaths and sociopaths are making money from killing indirectly - the series begins with the creation of a new ad campaign to get people to smoke more cigarettes, while the ad agency staff comments show that they know the product is causing cancer and other problems. They show no concern at all for their fellow humans - all that matters is finding what works. In their personal lives, as in their work lives, they lie, use other people like objects, and smirk the whole time. We are supposed to find these worthless and evil pieces of crap "interesting"; the show is getting tons of positive reviews.

Then Moonlight joined the "op"; vampire as hero. Well, if we strip away all the entertainment industry BS about coffins, crosses, and garlic, and return to reality, what do we find? The word vampire is from eastern Europe a few centuries ago; the people of that time and place didn't have the benefit of modern biology or psychiatry, but they could accurately describe what they were experiencing. The ancient account of vampires, before Bram Stoker's "Dracula" confused and misdirected everyone, are frightening descriptions of human beings who psychologically and physically torture innocent people for fun and terrorism, with a glib attitude. (Some of them even drank the blood of their victims.) Sounds like psychopaths to me.

While this was going on, Dexter was on cable but it is now on broadcast TV also. The "hero" of this show is a serial killer who only kills serial killers - oooooh! How inventive. The pilot episode made me sick. It is very clear that Dexter does not feel human emotion, but observes others' behavior and tries to mimic it so as to fit in. The show portrays him as gifted in his work (as a blood-spatter expert for the police) who catches the bad guys the incompetent police can't. As if we need them. They even make sure to have his sister (the biological daughter of the people who adopted him) unable to advance in her career without him doing some of her work for her. This is the exact opposite of the truth. It is the psychopaths who cannot pass the test of real life.

Note to all people who are capable of feeling shame and compassion: Psychopaths and sociopaths are not fascinating, are not necessary, and are not heroes.

You Are Not Free

2008-02-09T13:30:00.000-08:00

The primary fantasy in this country today is that America is so magical that reality doesn't exist here, and therefore we can deprive people of the resources necessary to meet their needs and they can still be successful. What qualities does that environment select for?

Reality exists; therefore, actions have consequences; therefore, the truth matters. You are not free to lie.

Reality exists; therefore, everything that everyone on the entire planet does affects everyone else on the entire planet in some way to some degree. You are not free to do whatever you want.

You have a group of inherited preferences, as well as other inherited qualities like height, skin color, gender, and intelligence. You are not free to be whoever you want.

You are not free to drive at whatever speed you want, regardless of weather or traffic conditions. (e.g., passing in the far right lane at 80 mph, something I witness frequently.)

You are not free to drive in bright sunlight with your headlights on ( and especially not your high beams) - it does not increase safety, it does increase glare; you are not free to drive in light rain or overcast conditions without your 4 orange corner lights on.

You are not free to believe proven lies.

You are not free to obey liars.

You are not free to harm yourself.

You are not free to poison my fellow humans (pollution, pharmaceutical drugs, Genetically Modified food, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, etc.).

You are not free to cheat.

You are not free to steal.

You are not free to hunt or eat our fellow predator animals ( dog, cat, shark, swordfish, etc. ).

Dimensions, People, and Bodies

2008-01-19T14:20:00.000-08:00

There are 9 Dimensions

1st Dimension: Length

2nd Dimension: Width

3rd Dimension: Height ( or Depth)

4th Dimension: Most people now accept that time is the 4th Dimension, as a result of Albert Einstein's Relativity bullshit; however, there is a 4th Dimension of space, making time the 5th Dimension, not the 4th. Yet another thing Stupid Einstein Dummy Boy was wrong about.*

5th Dimension: Time*

6th Dimension: The Aether ( the realm of light)*

7th Dimension: God ( the Creator of the universe )

8th Dimension: Infinity

9th Dimension: The final dimension, incomprehensible to us at our current level of evolution.

The fact that there are 9 dimensions is why 9 is the number of completion in numerology. It also indicates that there are 9 chakras, not 7 as commonly believed. Fortunately, you only have to develop the lower 7 chakras at this level.

*Different types of angels and demons exist at the 4th, 5th, and 6th Dimensions.

How Many Bodies Do U Have?

One-dimensional people only have the physical body; aka "Psychopaths". ("There's no there there."). Having no mental body, they cannot understand anything anyone says, including themselves. They can pretend to comprehend only because of the "spooky action at a distance" of the archon-hijacked Matrix.

2-dimensional people have the physical body and add the mental body; aka "normal people". (Length and width but no depth = shallow.)

3-dimensional people have the physical body and the mental body, and add the spirit body.

4-dimensional people: what is the 4th body? Alchemy is the attempt to acquire it, but our mostly 2- and only a little bit 3-dimensional language is not suited to describe it. The alchemical literature is therefore replete with strange and seemingly contradictory statements about "it". Since experience is what takes you from knowledge to understanding, only when you become a 4-dimensional person will you be able to say what "it" is.
Note on the Evil: The Archons started as 4-dimensional people, but cannot go any higher. More importantly, they cannot raise a human to the 4th level. They promise it as a reward for obeying them, and for helping them have their way on earth, and it is a lie. (The TV show Star Trek:Deep Space Nine represented 4 D evil people as The Founders, and 5 D good people as The Prophets/Wormhole Aliens.)

5-dimensional people can see and move through time as easily as we see and move about in 3D space.

6-dimensional people seem to be "made of light"; communicate with us sometimes through visions, more rarely appearing as angels/beings of light. (4D evil people use very convincing trickery sometimes to fool humans into perceiving them as this.)

There is only one 7-dimensional person: The true God.( The 4D evil person who is worshipped as "the one true god" by the followers of the hijacked and corrupted religions claims to be this - and he may really believe it - but he's a long way off, as you can see ).

The Fantastic 4

2007-07-21T14:28:00.000-07:00

Everyone has inherited qualities - like height, hair color, gender, and intelligence. What most people don't realize is that we all also have inherited preferences, and the combination of these inherited preferences largely determines adult identity.

Why should you learn about this? Because it takes a lot of energy to be someone you're not - and that's energy you need for your life.

THE TEST
There are 4 categories, and in each category there are 2 options. Remember, it's about preferences; nobody is all one or the other in any of the 4 categories. Also, in each category, the preference can be strong or mild. Try this simple test:
1.) When feeling drained, what do you need to do to re-charge? If sitting quietly and reading or writing energizes you more, then write down "I"; if walking and talking energizes you more, then write down "E".
2.) If you have a tendency to be sensible and practical, write down "S"; if you prefer possibilities and meanings, write down "N".
3.) If what you think about something is more important, write down "T"; if how you feel about something is more important, write down "F".
4.) The last is about schedules: if you want to explore and discover, write down "P"; if making a schedule and sticking to it is more important to you, write down "J".

THE KEY
I = Introverted, E= Extroverted, S = Sensible (or Sensation, as in physical sensation, as we will see), N = iNtuitive (because the I is already taken by Introverted), T = Thinker (or Tough-Minded), F = Feeling (or Friendly), P = Perceiving, J = Judging.

So, you now have you 4 letter code. (For example, I am an INTP.) The combinations automatically form into certain groups.

THE DIVIDING LINE
The main difference is between iNtuitive types and Sensible/Sensation types.

The S can stand for Sensible - as in Practical - which is generally a good thing, but can lead to certain problems; there's nothing "practical" about resisting The Evil. The S can also stand for Sensation - as in physical sensation. Sensation types are concrete in word and thought; abstract thought is thought of as something to be indulged in only after practical considerations are taken care of, and even then not too much. This group is further divided into 2 groups, depending on whether they like to stick to a schedule (SJ) or not (SP).

The SJ's are people who have a strong, fundamental faith or trust in the institutions of society: marriage, church, government, even any company that has been around a long time. Even though they are Sensation types, the Judging preference makes them resist physical pleasure, which causes the creation of "work-arounds" - sanctifying sex via religion, for example. They cannot choose whether to have these feelings or not, it is their identity. SJ's have a strong need to see themselves as good people. Can have a tendency to worry.
Pros: Bring stability to society, thereby making order possible.
Cons: Inherent trust in institutions and society causes failure to love the truth; generally not very interested in learning about themselves (like this subject, for example).

The SP's are free of that SJ reticence, and revel in physical sensations (esp. pleasure) in a way that the SJ's find both alluring and immoral. SP's who have a preference for Feeling are artists - composers and performers . SP's who prefer Thinking are promoters and sculptors.
Pros: Entertaining, fun, beautify and inspire with artful touch.
Cons: "In the moment" consciousness can make them unreliable; no inherent resistance to the Evil Culture.

The iNtuitives have an inherited preference for possibilities and meanings, whereas being practical or sensible is less important to them. This disdain for practicality can cause friction with the Sensation types. Abstract ideas are appealing to the iNtuitives; concrete words and thoughts seem "heavy"/restrictive. The iNtuitives are further divided into 2 groups, depending on whether they prefer Thinking (NT) or Feeling (NF).

The NT's are calm, rational, scientific and objective. Their relationship with their feelings - both physical and emotional - is conflicted, not because of morals (like the SJ's), but because the feelings are not rational. This affects their sex lives and emotional relationships in a way the Sensation types can't understand. The love of an NF is potentially life-changing for an NT.
Pros: Objectivity makes them very fair; remain calm in the face of problems; science improves the lives of all.
Cons: Other 3 types are not Rational, so NT's have a hard time respecting their rules or ideas; obsession with possibilities makes them forget practical considerations; can be ruthless.

The NF's are deeply caring and compassionate in a way that the other 3 types will never experience. Seek to actualize the self/become the ideal or "true" self. Make great counselors, healers, and therapists.
Pros: See the potential in everyone; love me, love you, love us, love them, love life, love love.
Cons: subconsciously project their essential goodness onto others (even when others don't deserve it); deep connection to spirit makes them forget sometimes that all non-NF humans have a long way to go before we get there; strong emphasis on love can make them susceptible to the "attack on standards".

The Fantastic 4
All 4 types bring good qualities to society; the problem lies in members of some groups trying to pretend they're in other groups (like when SJ's try to be scientists, for example). The comic and movie "The Fantastic 4" illlustrates this beautifully:
Ben Grimm is an SJ - gaurdian, protector, solid as a rock.
Johnny Storm is an SP - fun-loving, entertaining, always looking to "party", but in his element he is truly brilliant.
Reed Richards is an NT - the scientist who invents fantastic technology.
Sue Richards is an NF - caring and compassionate, these qualities are not valued in our society so that she feels invisible at times (but she has invisible power also).

All 4 types must work together to defeat the Dr. Dooms of our world - the Psychopaths.

Psychopaths, Sociopaths, and other sensation types

2007-07-14T14:29:00.000-07:00

PSYCHOPATHS
A psychopath is an individual who has an inherited neurological disorder which makes it impossible for them to grow a conscience. It doesn't matter whether the psychopath has good, loving parents and a middle-class socio-economic background (e.g. Jeffrey Dahmer) or suffered some abuse or psychopathic or sociopathic training; the psychopath only turns out one way no matter what you do - biologically human, psychologically monster. The point that seems to be most difficult to grasp for those just learning about this subject is that the psychopaths have all the faculties of human consciousness (including the Interpreter and Projection) except one - a conscience.

The conservative estimate is that they make up 1% of the population; in the U.S.A., with a population over 300 million people, that's at least 3 million psychopaths. Most of them are not recognized as such - except by their victims (and sometimes not even then).

The Psychopath derives pleasure directly from harming others, as an end in itself.

An SJ can be a psychopath, and will have all the qualities of an SJ and all the qualities of a psychopath. This is a real trap for the vast majority of SJ's, because they will focus on the way in which the psychopath is like them; their SJ-ness (faith in institutions and belief in the inherent goodness of everyone - "God don't make junk") will make them "refuse to see" the ways in which he or she is unlike them.

An SP can be a psychopath too, in which case the SJ's will much more easily recognize the fact; the SJ's will see that the psychopath SP, being an SP, is already unlike them and therefore the "psychopathy" will be easier to admit. For all others (SP's, NT's, and NF's) the psychopath SP is very dangerous; he or she can be very charming, and the lack of self-consciousness can seem like confidence to the un-burned.

SOCIOPATHS
The sociopath, as the name implies, was socialized to be that way. It is a man-made fact, and therefore could have been different, and (maybe) can be changed. There is a genetic component, in that all sociopaths are "sensation types" (specifically SP's), but they did not have to turn out that way, unlike the psychopaths.

The SP's - having an inherited preference for physical sensation instead of intuition, but not a preference for sticking to a schedule - have no inherent resistance to an Evil Culture (a Culture of Lying and of leaving people to fend for themselves). Not all SP's are sociopaths, but the phenomenon seems to be increasing with each generation.

In some ways, the Sociopath is like the Psychopath, only less so: lying, cheating, stealing, making promises to get what he/she wants then promptly forgetting what was promised in return.

The Sociopath uses others callously as a means to an end, but does not derive pleasure directly from harming others.

Anyone who feels free to do whatever they want - and is not a psychopath - is a sociopath. How many sociopaths are there in the U.S.A. right now? Could it be 10 million? Could it be more?

There are no SJ Sociopaths, but the SJ's very SJ-ness can make them support The Evil if the psychopaths and sociopaths can get control of the political and economic institutions. This is what has already happened.

EVOLUTION
There are no NT or NF psychopaths or sociopaths. The inherited defect of the psychopath precludes being Rational or deeply compassionate; whereas the inherited preference for intuition over being practical gives an inherent resistance to the "sociopathic training" of the Evil Culture.

SUGGESTED READING
The Mask of Sanity by Hervey Cleckley - the classic work on the subject - is out of print but available free online. Thank God for the internet! (And thank you, you krazy kassiopaeans.)

Available at libraries and bookstores everywhere:

Without Conscience by Robert Hare.

Snakes In Suits by Paul Babiak and Robert Hare.

The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout.

Cleckley, Hare, and Babiak all refer to both psychopaths and sociopaths as "Psychopaths"; Stout refers to both psychopaths and sociopaths as "Sociopaths". Every experience in this world is an opportunity to practice discernment.

The Culture of Lying

2006-03-16T13:49:00.000-08:00

The whole planet is infected with a culture of lying.

From James Frey's Million Little Pieces http://www.thesmokinggun.com/jamesfrey/0104061jamesfrey1.html

to the Korean researcher who faked the stem cell cloning evidence http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/01/09/tech/main1194289.shtml,

from the respected Norwegian scientist who faked a study on oral cancer http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/worldwide/story/0,9959,1687477,00.html

to the Abramoff scandal in Washington, from widespread acceptance of cheating by students all across the U.S.A. http://www.ncpa.org/pi/edu/jan98o.html

to "The Right to Lie" http://www.citizenreviewonline.org/mar_2002/lying_to_the_public_okay.htm

The Scientific Method

Even the scientific community has been infected with The Culture of Lying, so insidious is it. Edward O. Wilson - the founder of sociobiology - made the following statement in an op-ed piece in the USA Today: " The great question remaining is whether the human mind originated the same way. Many scientists, I among them, believe it did so evolve. " [Emphasis added] http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2006-01-15-faith-edit_x.htm

By saying "scientists ... believe", he rejects the essence of the scientific method, which is to find out what the truth is no matter what it turns out to be. Furthermore, statements like that make the Faith-based ( i.e. reality-rejecting ) community say, " See, they have their beliefs, and we have ours - science is just a religion. "

Conservativeliberalrepublicandemocrats

The 2 " sides " of the public " debate " are the same side! The conservatives think they have the right beliefs, and feel entitled to force them on everyone; the liberals say, " That's wrong - everyone's free to choose what to believe. " Which " side " is standing up for the truth?

Reality

Reality exists. The Truth is good; the Lie is evil. Nobody's free to choose what to believe.

The Natural Order, pt. II : Predators and Prey

2005-12-03T13:22:00.000-08:00

Prey animals - like cows, chickens, turkeys, and deer - have eyes on the sides of their heads, sacrificing depth perception to gain the advantage of early warning. We ( humans ) are a predator species; we have eyes in the front of our heads, giving up early warning system in favor of depth perception. We are hunters, killers, eaters.

Predators eat prey - it is natural and Good. For predators to hunt predators is a violation of The Natural Order, aka "Evil."

Just when U thought it was safe to go back in the water

From a shark's point of view, a surfer looks just like a seal. Sharks hunt mostly by smell anyway - they're very nearsighted. That's why most shark "attacks" are on surfers, and most attacks aren't fatal. The shark takes a bite, realizes the taste isn't right, and releases and swims away. People lose arms and legs that way, but we are not their natural food; it's a case of mistaken identity.

Reptyl

Reptile predators don't seem to have any compunction about eating other predators - dogs, cats, even humans. It's just a matter of size; if a snake or croc is big enough, it might try it. This is why we humans have a natural aversion to the reptilian. And maybe it also explains something a bit more "out of this world"...

Juan Matus vs. The Archons

"We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives."

http://www.prismagems.com/castaneda/donjuan12.html

"In Gnostic cosmology, Archons are a species of inorganic beings that emerged in the solar system prior to the formation of the earth... As inorganic entities of two types, embryonic and reptilian, Archons can at moments penetrate the terrestrial atmosphere and terrorize humans... Hence, Archons are psycho-spiritual parasites." [Emphasis added.]

http://www.metahistory.org/ETArchonNav.php

Perhaps this is why we perceive them as reptilian, when they "hunt" us. This is not a case of mistaken identity; they, being 4D beings,

http://tetraspace.alkaline.org/introduction.htm

know we are not prey, and they prey on us anyway.

The words "Evil" and "parasite" are both correct.

What's America's Problem?

2005-11-17T15:02:00.000-08:00

The USA Has An Evil Kultur

A culture of rejecting reality, denying the truth, and choosing what to believe ( all the while loudly praising itself for being "the greatest country on Earth" ). It is very conducive to leaving people to fend for themselves ( which is why it is done ).

To leave people who have never gotten their needs met - and in fact have been under relentless, insidious attack their entire lives ( most people ) - to fend for themselves is evil. It requires that everyone be superhuman, which is pretending that reality doesn't exist.

"It's Tradition"

It goes back to the founding of our nation. Ben Franklin went to France to get money for the revolution, without which the "war for independence" would have been toast, but when he got back, the Continental Congress refused to reimburse him for his expenses. Even then, they preferred the insane fantasy of George Washington, barefoot in a blizzard, overthrowing the British with no resources and no help. It was a lie; it is a lie.

Katrina Aftermath

We saw it in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Millions of people in this country who had not seen it before suddenly saw that the government is not going to take care of you, even when something so huge and powerful hits. The government had to be shamed into acting.

( On a related note: those who watched the TV coverage during that first week after it hit saw something heretofore unimaginable - the media stopped pretending. They are humans and, although they normally are fake as hell, they were obviously deeply affected by what they were witnessing. There was even some conflict between the people in the studio, who were still trying to pretend, and the reporters on the scene, who were shocked into being real. I saw Tucker Carlson get real! That's something I never thought I'd see. He was pissed. He was trying to maintain his professionalism, but you could tell he was fuming inside. But I digress... )

Single Payer

The simple lack of a national health care system in this country is a significant way we leave people to fend for themselves. It creates an environment that selects for qualities like: shallow, callous, greedy, ignorant, & arrogant.

The Fact Of Evolution

This is exactly why The Faith-Based Community ( the people who are in love with the insane fantasy ) are desperate to "challenge" evolution. They don't just object to Darwin's proposed mechanism of evolution, which he called "natural selection" ( which a huge amount of evidence supports ); they must oppose the concept of evolution itself.

If they were to admit evolution, then they couldn't believe in their insane fantasy anymore.

The Grail Is Not The Stone

2005-11-02T15:10:00.000-08:00

The Sacred Feminine

In the 12th century, french epic poet Chretien de Troyes ( literally, "a christian from Troyes" ) wrote the 1st Grail Romance - " Perceval, the story of The Graal. "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chretien_de_troyes

Why? Oh, I know the b.s. about his patron, Philip of blah blah blah. But why that story? Why those elements? Why that imagery? Shockingly to most people today, the original Grail story has nothing to do with Jesus. ( Question for speakers of The Green Language: what kind of christian would a "christian of Troy" B? )

The Goddess religion had a multi-thousand-year history in Europe, nowhere more strongly preserved than France. As of the 12th c., Pauline Xtianity - with a freaking ghost supplanting The Goddess - had been around long enough that the long-standing veneration of the Female was endangered. "Chretien" wove together some old pagan legends with some, carefully selected, elements of Xtianity to preserve That Which Matters Most.

As Jean Markale's brilliant work, "The Grail: The Celtic Origins of the Sacred Icon", makes clear, you cannot separate 1) the bleeding lance, 2) the candelabras, 3) the beautiful young girl, and 4) the grail itself. These 4 Elements are the different facets of a multi-faceted image. Consideration of each 1 in isolation is useless.

In Chretien, The Grail is a container of life: The Grail is the "container" of the man's "lance." And The Grail is the womb, the container of new life growing within. And The Grail is Woman, the container of both of these. In the original Grail story, The Grail is the Sacred Feminine; since it has been Lost ( wed., 9PM EST, on ABC ), The Land is The Wasteland.

Wolfram and Hart

Wolfram von Eschenbach, "a German knight and poet"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfram_von_Eschenbach

enter'd the scene, and messed everything up for everybody with statements like "This stone is also called the Grail" and "It is called lapis exilis". ( He couldn't even get "lapsit exillis" right. ) His version of the story has redirected seekers from Chretien's whole point for centuries.

He professes to be illiterate and to have dictated Parzifal, so that could explain the lapis thing. However, he also expresses disdain for Chretien's version - "The phenomenon is compelled to identify itself."

The seeking of the Stone of the Philosophers is very worthy, and ultimately involves The Grail if you get far enough, but they are not the same thing.

My article "Alchemy 4 Dummies", in Jan 2005 archive, is "Gold, Jerry, gold!".

Like an AP course in The Grail

Comparing and contrasting Chretien's Perceval with the Mabinogion's Peredur is not for the faint of heart, or the beginner.

The True Cause of Global Warming

2005-04-04T13:35:00.000-07:00

( Note: This article is built on my Feb 05 article, " Vibration Isn't Charge ", and my Jan 05 article, " Alchemy 4 Dummies ". )

Global Warming
If you put a lot of energy into a circuit that has a lot of resistance, that circuit is going to heat up.

There are now over 6 billion people on the planet; every 1 carries a charge. The wave of energy coming in to this planet now is enough to lift it, and us, up to 4D; however, most people have a negative charge, which would have them going to 4D on the negative path. They don't want to be evil, but they don't have the time to follow the clues and connect the dots ( because they are kept distracted/busy ), so they choose the only other option currently available to them: resistance.

And it is that very resistance which is causing the planet/circuit to heat up.

Electricity Does Not Exist
We should speak instead of " electrics ", a field of scientific inquiry, like " physics " and " optics. " Electrical energy, electric current, and electrons are 3 different things. For a great explanation, see http://amasci.com/miscon/eleca.html#exist

Prima Materia
" Japanese physicists have demonstrated for the first time that iron becomes a superconductor under high pressure. Iron loses its strong ferromagnetism - which usually destroys superconductivity - at pressures around 15 gigapascals. Katsuya Shimizu and colleagues at Osaka University showed that compressed iron superconducts at temperatures below 2 kelvin...Iron has a body-centred cubic structure under ambient conditions, which gives rise to its ferromagnetism. Under high pressures, however, it transforms to hexagonal close packing structure, in which ferromagnetism is not thought to exist. " [Emphasis added] http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/5/7/12/1

Superconductor
" The onset of superconductivity is accompanied by abrupt changes in various physical properties, which is the hallmark of a phase transition. For example, the electronic heat capacity is proportional to the temperature in the normal (non-superconducting) regime. At the superconducting transition, it suffers a discontinuous jump and thereafter ceases to be linear. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductor

Sentinels - Designed For Just 1 Thing
SQUIDs ( Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices ) " are also used as precision movement sensors in a variety of scientific applications, such as the detection of gravity waves. "

The Big Bang Is Wrong

2005-03-09T11:57:00.000-08:00

The " theory " ( in quotation marks because it is not scientific, and therefore not a theory ) which is now known as the Big Bang was formulated by a Jesuit priest ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang ) , specifically to accommodate the Creation-ism of Christianity.

It is wrong, and the universe is not expanding.

2 Options, No Power

The Matrix likes to set up 2 options, and pretend they are the only 2 options; if you accept this premise, and if you can be convinced ( " prove " ) that 1 of the options is incorrect, then you have to accept the other option. This is how mainstream politics works, for example.

This was done with cosmology in the 20th century. The 2 options were the " Steady State " theory ( taken to mean the universe is unchanging ) and the " Big Bang " theory. Evidence that the universe has undergone some changes " disproved " the Steady State Theory, so the Big Bang was " proven " the right 1.

Unfortunately for them, the evidence contradicting the Big Bang theory has been increasing for decades. Unfortunately for us, the Culture of Obedience has produced a group of cosmologists who accept the 2 option set-up, and so react to this evidence by trying to make it fit the Big Bang model ( to this end, they just keep making up more mystical gibberish - 1st it was neutrinos, now it is the mysterious " dark matter " ).

What Is Energy?

Energy is the capacity to do work, or the capacity of a system to change state. It is a property of matter.

A wave of energy is a disturbance of a medium that propagates through that medium in the form of a wave; if there is no medium, what is waving ?

The Red Shift

From " Dirac's Equation and the Sea of Negative Energy ", by Donald Hotson http://www.zeitlin.net/OpenSETI/Docs/HotsonPart2.pdf A lot of it is wrong ( esp. the use of " must be " ), and the conclusions are not quite correct, but the following section is spot on.

" Among the characteristics of real waves in real physical media is friction. However efficient the transmission, some energy must be lost in the process. This is a characteristic of all real waves, and is a requirement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. One way of expressing the Second Law is that any transformation of energy must entail a loss of energy... So natural is this expectation that, in 1921, the German physicist Walther von Nernst predicted that light from distant sources would be found to have lost energy in transmission (von Nernst, 1921). Then, later in the decade, Edwin Hubble (1929) published a finding showing exactly that. The characteristic spectrographic emission lines of light from distant galaxies, he showed, are shifted into the red end of the spectrum, indicating a loss of energy apparently proportional to the distance the signal has traveled, thus exactly fulfilling the Second Law and von Nernst’s prediction ... Nothing could be more normal and natural, and consistent with the laws and eternal verities of physics, than that light, like every other real signal, should lose energy in transmission over long distances. That the measured loss of energy is proportional to the distance traveled is direct evidence that light is a real signal in a real medium that obeys the Second Law. This interpretation is further supported by von Nernst’s valid, a priori scientific prediction, which was fulfilled by Hubble’s findings. But will you find this logical chain of events, including this fulfilled scientific prediction, mentioned in any mainstream treatment of the red shift? Not a chance. This is because this natural frictional loss of energy was somehow interpreted as a Doppler shift, supposedly indicating that everything in the universe is rushing madly away from us in every direction at velocities approaching light speed. " [ emphasis added ]

So, the very evidence that you have been told proves the Big Bang actually proves the existence of the aether, and that the universe is not expanding.

The Dreaded Aether

The essence of Science is to find out what actually exists; the Scientific Method, therefore, consists of testing ideas against Reality to find out whether they are true or not.

Th aether is " a fluid in order to fill space, millions of times more rigid than steel in order to support the high frequencies of light waves, massless, completely transparent, non-dispersive, incrompessible, continuous, and without viscosity. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether

This is what Reality has turned out to be. Don't like it? Too bad.

Michelson-Morley

The Michelson-Morley Experiment is claimed to have tested the aether, and disproven it. Both are untrue. The MM tested the hypothesized aether wind, and they ( and all subsequent replications and modifications ) performed the test only on Earth. The MM proved that the aether wind is not detectable on the surface of this planet; la dee da.

An Electric Universe

The Standard Model ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_model ) tries to explain the whole universe with just gravity; the plasma cosmologists ( e.g. Eric Lerner & Hannes Alfven ) and electric universe-ists keep trying to do away with gravity altogether ( much like the SM'ers tried to do to the aether ).

Try these links for more info on Electric Universe:

The 3 Fundamental Forces

The Standard Model says there are 4 Fundamental Forces, and now they even want to change it to " Interactions " ( taking after their prototype, Einstein, they don't like the idea of a " Force " ). Recent evidence, however, has shown the Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces are explainable as effects of Electromagnetism, and therefore are secondary, not fundamental, forces. So we are left with only Electromagnetism and Gravity, which they are now trying to combine into 1. To do this, they are trying to combine Quantum Mechanics & Relativity, which is why they cannot do it ( see " Einstein Was Wrong " & " Quantum Mechanics Is Wrong " March 2005 ).

In Reality, the 3 Fundamental Forces are Gravity, Levity, and Electromagnetism ( which is why Adam McLean's Alchemy website is at http://levity.com/alchemy/ ). Gravity and Levity balance each other ( which is why we are neither crushed nor fly off the Earth into space ), and Electricity and Magnetism balance each other ( perpendicular-wise ); the 2 pairs, in turn, balance each other. This is why both the Standard Model's denial of Electromagnetism's role in the cosmos and the plasma/electric partisans' denial of gravity are wrong.

As usual, 1 side has half the truth and half the lie, and The Other Side has the other half of the truth and the other half of the lie.

Einstein Was Wrong

2005-03-08T13:05:00.000-08:00

Albert Einstein: Eccentric Genius, or Agent of The Matrix?

Background

He failed math, couldn't get a position as a teacher ( because everyone found him irritating ), treated his 1st wife like dirt, divorced her, married again, treated her like dirt too. Einstein considered himself a pacifist and a humanitarian; in reality, he was a supporter of Zionism.

Mission

Destroy the aether.

Step 1: Establish Credibility

Einstein 1st published papers on " Brownian Motion " ( proving the existence of atoms ) and " The Photoelectric Effect " ( explaining the " black-body radiation " by hypothesizing the quantization of light ); these were good science, establishing some credibility for Einstein.

Step 2: Special Relativity

In 1905, he published the Special Theory of Relativity, which is based on the speed of light in a vacuum. Since there's no such thing as a vacuum ( the aether is the medium through which the disturbance propagates ), Special Relativity is wrong. This is why Einstein was subjected to ridicule and scorn by the real scientists of the day when he 1st published this - not because his " theory " was so advanced, but because it doesn't make any sense; it's gibberish.

Those who were willing to pretend that it made sense were rewarded with funding and titles; those who did not were ( and are ) dismissed and ridiculed as " cranks ". From Wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_einstein
" In Einstein's view, many of them simply could not understand the mathematics involved. " This is a typical reaction of the psychopath to anyone who dares to call him on his lie; I'm only surprised he didn't tell them to " go see a psychiatrist ".

( Note: French astronomer Camille Flammarion, in his novel Lumen, had described riding a beam of light, and what that would look like to the rider - it was 1st published in 1872.)

Bell's Theorem also " proves " ( mathematically ) that Einstein's Relativity is wrong - the supposed speed of light is not sacrosanct. In 1982, Alan Aspect, et al, in a series of experiments, proved Bell's Theorem true - " spooky action at a distance ", indeed.

Step 3: General Relativity

In 1915, Einstein published the General Theory of Relativity; this was yet another attempt to " eliminate " the aether, attacking the " problem " from another angle. Positing that length, width, and height are united with time, he explained away the Force of gravity as the curvature of this " fabric of space-time ".

( Flammarion said, in 1921, " A space with a shape, curved! Mr. Einstein, you know that space-time, the fourth dimension, is already in the Encyclopédie de Diderot et D’Alembert. But it has not a shape! "
http://www.uv.es/~ten/womeneng.htm )

This was allegedly proved in 1919, during a solar eclipse, with the observation of light curving around the Sun. However, it was long known that a wave propagating through a medium would curve around an object, so when they " confirmed " that light curved around the Sun, they did not confirm General Relativity. Why, then, did they take it as confirmation of it? Because the whole point was to get rid of the aether. Einstein's alleged motivation - that he didn't like gravity being a " mysterious force " - was a smokescreen.

Stupid Einstein Dummy Boy

Well, Agent Smith, er, I mean, Albert Einstein didn't get everything wrong; his statement about the Uncertainty Principle - " God does not play dice " - was right on the money. http://www.thenazareneway.com/cause_and_effect.htm

Way to go, Einstein.

Quantum Mechanics Is Wrong

2005-03-07T12:46:00.000-08:00

( Note: I assume a familiarity with the concepts involved; if you need a primer/refresher, I recommend
" Quantum Mechanics "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics , and
" Wave-Particle Duality "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave-particle_duality .)

The Photon

In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed, as a solution to the " Photoelectric Effect ", that light waves form into packets, called " quanta ". There is always a whole number of waves in a quantum ( packet ), and the packet, as a packet, can behave like a particle under certain conditions. This is why photons have some characteristics of a particle and some characteristics of a wave.

A photon is a packet of waves of energy; it is not a particle.

The Electron

From Wikipedia.org, " In 1924, de Broglie claimed that all matter has a wave-like nature ". Modern " Science " ( which is very unscientific ) now claims this has been " confirmed " with sub-atomic particles, and even with atoms and molecules.

Oh, I'm sorry, that's wrong.

The 4th Spatial Dimension

( A good intro to the 4th Spatial Dimension is http://tetraspace.alkaline.org/introduction.htm )

To get the electron ( or any particle ) to exhibit these effects, they have to shoot it out of an "electron gun " ( the " slit experiment " has not actually been done with a particle very many times, BTW, but you have to dig to find that out ). Doing so artificially puts enough energy into the electron for it to temporarily acquire some of the qualities of a 4D particle ( specifically: flowing like a fluid, bilocation, teleportation ); in performing the 4D " manuever ", it expends that energy, and then drops back to its natural, 3D, state.

There is no such thing as " wave-particle duality ".

The Electron Microscope

The electron microscope does not use light, it uses electrons shot at a material. Electrons, being particles of matter, don't have a " wavelength". So where is the picture coming from? The computer that is connected to the electron microscope turns the results into an image with a program written ( by some person ) to do that; what is the code ( to instruct the computer what to do ) based on?

This cannot legitimately be called " scientific ".

No Such Thing

There are no such things as fermions, quarks, hadrons, bosons, neutrinos, baryons, mesons, leptons, or Hilbert spaces. The smallest particles of matter are the electron, neutron, and proton; they are particles of matter, not " wavicles " or " wavefunctions".

Vibration Isn't Charge

2005-02-24T12:52:00.000-08:00

Vibration is of frequency, higher or lower by degrees; " Negative " and " Positive " are properly descriptors of Charge.

The New Age Movement

When New Age gurus speak of " positive vibration " and " negative vibration ", that is like saying " salty cold " - gibberish! They also teach that you can switch your " vibration " from negative to positive just by thinking positive thoughts. In practice, this often becomes just putting on a Happy Mask - that's not how it works.

How It Works

Charge can be strong or weak, positive or negative; vibration is simply high or low. They are related ( see below ), but they are not the same thing.

If you have a negative charge, that's holding your vibration down; you need to switch the charge from negative to positive. Once you become aware that you have a negative charge, you first need to wean yourself off it; when you achieve weak positive charge ( positive charge is your natural state - negative energy beings are literally addicted ), nurture it for a time, and see if you can fan those embers into strong positive charge. Then it becomes possible to raise your vibration significantly, and keep it there.

You can rise to high vibration with negative charge, but it requires a strong negative charge, and you have to be really Evil to achieve that ( e.g., raping/killing ). Most people in this world at this point in time have weak negative charge, because they

> have been under attack their entire lives
> don't want to be Evil, but
> don't understand How It Works

A Few Examples will illustrate the point:

1.) Enron mo'fo's = high vibration + strong negative charge; their material needs are way taken care of, which Standard Fluffy Mysticism would equate with " positive vibration ", but their charge is so strongly negative that they feel they have a right to benefit from harming others ( so that, if their victims fail to effectively defend themselves, then " they brought it on themselves ." )

2.) Musician Jimmy Buffet, and Hollywood actor Jeff Bridges = high vibration + strong positive charge; both are very financially/materially successful, without having to do anything they don't want to, and without harming others.

3.) A person who is homeless and starving = low vibration + negative charge ( could be strong or weak ); blame, anger, fear/anxiety.

4.) Most people in the U.S.A. = low vibration + weak negative charge; so they have to struggle, expending a ton of time and physical & mental energy to try to overcome low vibration, with varying levels of " success ."

Reality

The word " negative " is from the Latin verb " negare ", which means " to deny "; in this ( metaphysical ) context, it means " to deny Reality ", or even " to reject The Truth " ( The Logos says, " I am The Truth, and The Way " ).

Telling the truth is always positive.
Lying is always negative.

The Natural Order

2005-02-03T13:32:00.000-08:00

In my article " The 1 True Religion "
( www.jeffreybrauer.blogspot.com - January 2005 archive ) I referred to The Natural Order, and the need to live according to, or in harmony with, it.

Well, what does that mean? Here is an example to get you started.

Time

Facts of Nature

The Day is a Fact of Nature; it is 1 complete revolution of the Earth on its axis.

The Year is also a Fact of Nature; it is 1 complete orbit of the Earth around the Sun.

The seasons are facts of nature, and they matter to the subject of The Natural Order, but in our society, we do not use them in time-keeping.

The Month is based on Nature, but the months we use in our current calendrical system are not the same as the months in Nature.

Day and Night are Facts of Nature, of course, as is Noon; Noon is when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky. Therefore, the Morning ( from dawn to noon ) and the Afternoon ( from noon to sunset ) are also facts of Nature.

Midnight, being exactly halfway between 2 Noons, is legitimate, even though it is a concept and not a Fact of Nature.

( For more on the difference between Facts of Nature and Man-made Facts, see Ayn Rand's " Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology ". )

Lies

The Second, the Minute ( 60 seconds ), the Hour ( 60 minutes ), and the Week ( of 7 Days ) are fiction; they are lies. In Reality, they do not exist.

Why, then, do you behave as though they exist?

Conspiracy Fact

The totality of the evidence strongly indicates that the Human Race is under attack ( see my article " Alchemy 4 Dummies " - January 2005 archive, for what to do about it ) by a group of beings/entities ( demons/aliens/whatever ) that have been described ( www.cassiopaea.org ) as " para-physical ".

Why do I mention this? Well, " they " seem to find it very important to get you to accept lies; there's some sort of energy relationship to that which is essential in keeping you "plugged into the Matrix ", as it were.

So here we have a good example of 1 of the more massive & dominating techniques to do this; if they can get you to accept that Seconds, Minutes, Hours, and Weeks - as presently defined - are real, and to behave according to that lie, then they have you literally lying all day, every day. ( If some different definition, 1 based on Nature, could be offered, that would be a different story. ) Seconds, Minutes, Hours, and Weeks are something that most people take for granted and do not question ( " We accept the reality with which we're presented " - The Truman Show ).

And so you begin to see why I equated The Logos with both " The Truth " and " The Natural Order ".

Metanoia

It is not enough to recognize the concept - you must actually change your behavior. Your ability to change your behavior is limited by the need to interact with society to some degree, but you can bring your own behavior into harmony with The Natural Order by some amount, and we can lead a revolution in society when the opportunity presents itself ( it will, and soon ).

What would we, as a society, do if we rejected this particular lie? Perhaps instead of " February 3, 2005 ", we would say " Day 34, the Year 2005, in the Month of Aquarius ". With that system, instead of the 7 day week, how would the " work week " work? Obviously, there would not be a work week; perhaps everyone could work every other day, with half the people working the even-numbered days, and the other half working on the odd-numbered days. Everyone would get off the holidays, except for essential personnel ( police, fire, military ). It's not the only system that could be Good, but it would be true to Nature, unlike the present system.

What " time " is your alarm set for? It's a lie.

The energy is waiting for you ( see " The Pillar of Celestial Fire " by Robert Cox ). You have to actually do it.

Did Someone Say Revolution?

I mentioned the word revolution in the above section; it's a word that gets used a lot, but not always in its correct meaning ( is the new product from Chevrolet really a " revolution "? ).

Revolution means " a radical change compared to the way things were done before " ( hey, that's not a bad definition for metanoia ... ).

Well, if we're gonna have a revolution, we may as well have a new Constitution:

Proposal for a New Constitution of the United States of America

2005-02-02T13:17:00.000-08:00

Preamble

We, the people of the United States of America, hereby state the following to be true:

That all humans have, by factor of being human, certain rights, and that these include, but by no means are limited to, the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;

That any legitimate Government must have the protection of the people as its highest priority;

That Government is necessary, and can be Good;

That corporations are property, and that property does not have rights;

That the current Government has given corporations rights equal to, and in some cases exceeding, those of humans; and that, therefore, the current Government of the United States is illegitimate, and should be replaced with a legitimate 1.

The Government

There are currently 50 State governments + 1 National government, each as sovereign from each other as the National government is from the national governments of other nations ( that system is called " Federal " ). That is ridiculous and unacceptable; 51 Governments is 50 too many. 1 Nation must have 1 Government; It should be Unitarian and Unicameral.

That Government should have 3 levels: city, state, and national. The national level & the state level both should have 3 branches: Leglislative, Executive, and Judicial. At the city level, the voters should elect an uneven number of heads of departments ( e.g., Mayor, police, fire, commerce, & health) who would meet regularly to vote on issues facing the city, as a city council. The Judiciary at all 3 levels is separate.

The National Level

The Legislature

The Leglislature at the National level should consist of 1 body, to be called The Senate; 1 Senator shall be elected by all the legal adult citizens of each State to represent the interests of all the people of that State ( 50 States = 50 Senators ). Bills in the senate shall pass only with half the votes of the Senate + 1 ( that would mean 26 votes in favor ); Amendments to the Constitution shall require a 2/3 majority of the Senate and the signature of the President of the United States of America. There shall be no such person as " President of the Senate ".

Senators are elected for 4 year terms, with a maximum of 12 years.

The Executive

The Executive Branch is headed by the President of the United States of America, who enforces the laws and administers the programs of the national government. The President shall be elected thusly: the 2 Political Parties ( Democrat and Republican ) shall each nominate a candidate for President of the United States and a candidate for Vice-President ( known as " the Ticket " ); then whichever Party gets a majority in the Senate, the other Party's candidate becomes President. This will ensure that the National Government is both democratic and republican at all times.

The President therefore also serves a 4 year term, but with a maximum of 8 years.

The Judiciary

The Court system should stand separate from the Leglislative and Executive branches ( called " the Independent Judiciary " ) all the way from the lowest level of government ( City ) to the highest ( National ). All judges will be appointed, none elected; Judges should not have to pander to any constituency. The Rational temperament ( see my article " The 3 Types of People " in January 2005 archive at www.jeffreybrauer.blogspot.com ) is strongly preferred for all judges.

Cases can be appealed on the facts, not only on points of Law, all the way to the Supreme Court.

Judges should be promoted from lower levels of the judiciary, with an age limit of 70 years.

The Justice System

The Rule of Law is, by itself, insane; the question, " Was justice done? ", must always be asked, and answered. A perfect system, that automatically produces a Good result, does not, and cannot, exist; Good people are always necessary. Laws are a safeguard against injustice, but become themselves a source of injustice if not tempered by human wisdom.

Some would like a Law they could apply to all situations, to free them from having to think; the only question then becomes, " Was the Law violated? ". Such a system has been proven to violate actual humans, and cannot legitimately be called " Justice ".

The State Governments

The State Governments will operate much as now, with 3 exceptions:

1.) The Governor, though gaining office in the usual manner, will be removable from office between elections by the President of the United States, not for political reasons, but to ensure enforcement of the Laws, and Justice.

2.) The State Leglislature shall, in every State, consist of only 1 body ( Unicameral ).

3.) The Judiciary stands separate, as described above.

The National Defense

The problems with the Military ( the Military-Industrial Complex ) almost always, and in the case of wars with other Nations, always, stem from the vaunted " Civilian Oversight " of the Military. The elected officials, and/or officials appointed by them, use the Military for nefarious purposes, to advance political and/or economic agendas. This is a criminal mis-use of the Military.

The people of the Military are highly honorable, their strength at the group level deriving from their commitment to each other, and to Duty, at the individual level. Therefore, I hereby propose what all will think radical, and some will think terrible:

Let the Military stand alone. No civilian oversight. The vast majority of the men and women in the Military are good people, wanting to do Good, desirous of protecting the people of this nation, and their freedoms, and willing to risk life and limb to protect not only our people, but all people, if so called upon. Let them do it. Let the Military run itself, according to Duty and Honor.

So long as there is civilian oversight of the Military, there will be no such thing as a non-Criminal President.

Funding

How will the Government be funded? Well, I'm glad you asked:

We Must Eliminate Money

2005-02-01T13:38:00.000-08:00

It's Inefficient

As the Open Source (software) Movement has shown us, money causes unnecessary duplication of effort. Sure, you say, I can see that with software, because of how easy it is to copy information - but you can't do that with cars or houses.

Well, let's look at the scientific community in the modern era, which has given us all the neat stuff - from cars to computers, from refrigerators to airplanes - that we enjoy today. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Culture

"The principle of sharing predates the open source movement; for example, the free sharing of information has been institutionalized in the scientific enterprise since at least the 19th century. Open source principles have always been part of the scientific community. The sociologist Robert K. Merton described the four basic elements of the community - universalism (an international perspective), communism (sharing information), disinterestedness (removing one's personal views from the scientific inquiry) and organized skepticism (requirements of proof and review) that accurately describe the scientific community today. These principles are, in part, complemented by US law's focus on protecting expression and method but not the ideas themselves. There is also a tradition of publishing research results to the scientific community instead of keeping all such knowledge proprietary. "

Did you notice the second to last line ? " These principles are ... complemented by US law's focus on protecting expression and method but not the ideas themselves." So, business/government allows this " communism " at the creation stage, because they know it's more efficient and effective, but then makes the results of that communistic creation ( the tech we have today ) " proprietary ", so they can charge us kazillions ( see " It's A Scam ", below ).

Without this unnecessary duplication of effort to make money, how much productive capacity could be freed to create a high standard of living for all? And what about the billions of people worldwide who never had the chance to find out what greatness they could create, that might benefit us all, simply because they had to make money to survive?

But wait, there's more. As Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation has labored to point out for many years, the "open source" movement itself was created to make the free software movement more palatable to Business; of course something valuable ( essential? ) was lost in the translation ( see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html ).

Money is inefficient, impractical, and immoral.

It's A Scam

1.) The Federal Reserve orders some money printed.
2.) The U.S. Treasury prints the money.
3.) The Federal Reserve buys the money ( it doesn't cost much to print the money ).
4.) The Federal Reserve then lends the money to business and government at interest.
5.) The Shareholders of the Federal Reserve then buy real goods ( gold, minerals, land, productive businesses ) with the fake money ( the interest paid ).

So, the whole U.S. economy is built on a scam.

For a glimpse of how deep the rabbit hole goes, see " The Myth of the Rule of Law " at http://www.solari.com/gideon/q301.pdf .

Oh, I can hear you now: " that's because of paper money ", or " we need to go back to the gold standard ", or " blah blah blah ". Really? Were these problems non-existent then? They existed, and have only gotten worse. The best you can hope for with those solutions is to make massive problems slightly less bad. And in Reality, so long as there is money, it will always only be a matter of time 'til we reach the present state again.

Not good enough.

It's Evil

Money was created so that some ( very few ) would have a lot of it, and the rest ( the vast majority ) would have little to none; that is Evil. Money literally causes poverty. At the level of the individual, obviously having money is the opposite of poverty; at the level of the human race, though, the fact that money exists consigns the majority to poverty - that is why it is done.

From David Chandler's http://www.lcurve.org/ :

" Quoting from a recently-published book by political philosopher David Schweickart,

If we divided the income of the US into thirds, we find that the top ten percent of the population gets a third, the next thirty percent gets another third, and the bottom sixty percent get the last third. If we divide the wealth of the US into thirds, we find that the top one percent own a third, the next nine percent own another third, and the bottom ninety percent claim the rest. (Actually, these percentages, true a decade ago, are now out of date. The top one percent are now estimated to own between forty and fifty percent of the nation's wealth, more than the combined wealth of the bottom 95%.) " [ emphases added ]

( George W. Bush, John F. Kerry, and Osama B. Laden are all members of the richest 1%, BTW - but I digress ... )

As Thom Hartmann ( http://www.thomhartmann.com/ ) put it, " For example, every year, millions of Americans revisit Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" about Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob (and Tiny Tim) Cratchit. Yet somehow Americans fail to realize the subtext of the story (and so many of Dickens' other works). That subtext is that the middle class is not a normal thing: exploited workers are the norm. In fact, in the six-thousand-year history of the "civilized" world, a middle class emerging in any nation has been such a rarity as to be historically invisible. " [emphasis added ] http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0618-03.htm

We are taught, almost from birth, that civilization began @ 5,000 years ago; we are also taught that money began @ 5,000 years ago. They want us to believe that we have to accept money if we want the benefits of civilization.

What if it's a lie?

It's Unnecessary

What if there was a technology that was pollution-free and so efficient, it obviated the " need " for money?

Richard Hoagland, in trying to figure out why some planets " radiate more energy out into space than they receive directly from the Sun ", created what he calls " The Hyperdimensional Model" ( http://www.enterprisemission.com/hyper1.html ). In it, he explains how 4D energy is " pulled down " into 3D by spinning bodies ( whirling dervishes, Neo spinning and hovering while fighting the Agents Smith in Matrix Reloaded ) - it's like " free " energy ( there's that word again ... ).

For those not versed in physics, an excellent intro to 4D is at http://tetraspace.alkaline.org/introduction.htm.

Some " conspiracy theorists " would say that the Secret Government already has this tech. However, because of The Culture Of Obedience, most of the " leaders " in business and government are quite stupid; so, it's entirely possible that they can't figure it out. Their modus operandi is to get us to figure it out for them, then declare that it's their property and charge us to use it just a little bit.

I have an even better idea ...

We must eliminate money now; not " eventually " - this year, 2005.

Faith Is Evil

2005-01-26T13:40:00.000-08:00

1.) Reality exists

2.) Therefore, actions have consequences.

3.) Therefore, The Truth matters ( and that is why it matters ).

4.) Therefore, Good and Evil are objective.

What follows from this? You are required to love The Truth; you are not free to choose what to believe. It is not " just my opinion ", and it is not my decision.

In real life, as on Buffy, Faith is the Evil Slayer.

Ban These 5 Things

2005-01-25T15:10:00.000-08:00

Fluoride

We don't have to actually ban F completely. Fluoride applied topically to the teeth and gums - and then spit out - as in toothpaste, is OK, and may even have some benefit ( the much-touted cavity prevention ). However, the ingestion of F in any form has never been shown to be beneficial in any way, and in fact there is substantial evidence that it is harmful, esp. to the thyroid. And the F in tap water is - as Dr. Tim O'Shea put it:

" a toxic byproduct in the manufacture of nuclear arms, aluminum, cement, steel, and phosphates. Millions of tons of this poison are produced every year. Imagine the cost of containing and disposing of those mountains of waste every year. It's in the billions. But what if lobbyists from these industries could present "scientific studies" paid for by the industries, and provide for a continual stream of media presentations about the health benefits of fluoride, and create unimaginably lucrative positions for "research" and "education" within the American Dental Association and the AMA, and do all these things in a consistent and unending way, year after year? "

Also great is Mary Sparrowdancer's " The Battle of Darkness and Light " at http://www.rense.com/general45/bll.htm. Her website is at http://www.sparrowdancer.com/.

The book The Fluoride Deception, by Christopher Bryson, is reportedly very powerful ( http://www.mercola.com/2004/jun/9/fluoride_deception.htm ), though I haven't had a chance to read it yet.

PHVO

It stands for Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil ( which is how you will find it written on a list of ingredients ). Despite being vegetable oil, this stuff has been so processed that it digests more like plastic; and it's in almost everything in regular grocery stores, and many restaurants - esp. for frying ( our fries are cooked in 100% vegetable oil ! ). If you see the word " hydrogenated ", avoid it; if it comes after the phrase " 2% or less of ", I figure it's OK once in a while.

Whole Foods Market has mostly non-hydrogenated, but don't assume - I've seen PHVO in the list of ingredients on both Ben & Jerry's and Newman's Own, both of which said " all natural " on the front.

At www.mercola.com , there is a ton of info on this subject and related subjects (e.g., canola oil not necessarily healthy, saturated fat not necessarily un-healthy ), and a ton of links all over his site.

MSG

MonoSodium Glutamate is a cheap substitute for the natural flavor enhancer in a certain type of seaweed; once U.S. companies got their hands on it, they started putting it in just about everything ( noticing a pattern? ). Don't give me this " it's only a problem for some people " story - it's a problem for everyone:

" When consumers refer to MSG they are referring to PROCESSED FREE GLUTAMIC ACID. If glutamic acid hasn't been processed, it doesn't cause adverse reactions. MSG is MANUFACTURED (and it has 30 different names... why?) MSG is NOT FOUND NATURALLY IN FOOD or in the human body. MSG is NOT IDENTICAL TO FREE GLUTAMIC ACID THAT HAS NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED. The glutamic acid found naturally in human beings and other higher organisms is not MSG. MSG enters the body through the mouth, through the nose, through the skin, and through the placental barrier. MSG can enter the brain through the blood brain barrier, which is incomplete through childhood, never intact in certain regions of the hypothalamus, and is easily damaged by things like a blow to the head, high fever, seizures, stroke, and the normal process of aging. MSG is potentially toxic to everyone. MSG can cross the placental barrier. MSG is most toxic to the unborn, to infants, to children, and to the elderly. MSG is found in medications - including vaccines. MSG is found in infant formula - with the greatest amounts found in hypoallergenic formula. MSG is found in liquid supplements given to the elderly. MSG is being sprayed on crops as they grow. MSG is HIDDEN IN AND ON UNPROCESSED PRODUCE that has been sprayed with plant "growth enhancers," fertilizers, and fungicides that contain MSG. MSG is being used in waxes applied to raw fruits and vegetables. MSG is hidden in PROCESSED food in ingredients that give no clue to the fact that they contain MSG. The glutamate-industry-sponsored research that claims to "prove" that MSG is safe is flawed to the point of being fraudulent. One of their tricks (and there are many) is to use MSG in placebos. "

AZT

AZT kills humans dead. The AIDS hoax, I said it, is a cover story for the toxic effects of Conventional Western Medicine. The promoters of the AIDS lie are guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.

www.nomorefakenews.com , by Jon Rappoport , has a ton of disturbing but empowering info on this 1, and on a bunch of other subjects as well.

Aspartame

Aspartame is a proven neuro-toxin, and was rejected by the FDA on the basis of the evidence. Then Donald Rumsfeld ( that Donald Rumsfeld ? Yes, that Donald Rumsfeld ), as CEO of Searle, pulled some strings ( he had been Secretary of Defense under President Ford ) and the FDA approved it despite it having been proven poisonous. It is now in diet soda pop and many other drinks, and is marketed as Nutra-Sweet.

Here's some : http://www.mercola.com/article/aspartame/fraud.htm

Alchemy 4 Dummies

Alchemy

Follow the clues and connect the dots, with an attitude of being willing to find out what the truth is about everything no matter what it turns out to be; that process is the action which will grow your awareness into a shield. Inside that chrysalis ( which the Alchemists called " the egg " ) the fractured self can fuse back into 1.

Definitely recommend doing it quietly at 1st, maybe even in secret; when you start to deviate from the behavior that The Matrix requires/expects, you will thereby subject yourself to hammering. That is a necessary part of the process, as it is that very hammering which will provide the heat and pressure to make you fuse; however, if you have not grown your awareness into a shield by following the clues and connecting the dots, the hammering would only be more fracturing.

Heating and Cooling

From http://swordforum.com/swords/historical/makingofmedswds.html
By John Clements, Director of the HACA
Excerpted from his book "Medieval Swordsmanship"

" The quality of steel in Medieval swords could vary from weapon to weapon. It depended a great deal on its heat treatment. Steel first needed careful forging and tempering (quenching and reheating). Steel is iron with a higher carbon content and is much stronger. Steel was made from selected iron ore by repeated heating in a hot charcoal fire. The addition of the carbon molecules improves the alignment of iron molecules. The raw metal was worked by hammer into a bar. A sword might be constructed from several separate pieces of iron and steel, each carefully hammered on. These were then "welded" together by hammering them when yellow hot (one X-ray of a Viking sword revealed it to have been forged from 58 separate pieces). Separate bars were also sometimes then added for edges. Finally, while still hot, the blade was worked into final shape and tempered by quenching (rapid cooling by plunging into a liquid bath). The steel was hardened by heating the shaped blade to a bright red color and then plunging it into a liquid bath (which could be oil, water, wine, honey, urine, or blood). This made the steel hard but also brittle. To temper it, the blade was then reheated to carefully soften it. A fine balance was needed between hardness on the edge for cutting and softness in the body for flex and durability. The tempered blade was then polished (sharpened) by a stone wheel. " [ emphases added. ]

And from http://www.barbariankeep.com/steel.html

" For many, many centuries only a few master smiths knew the secret of how to make a sword of steel. And before that, steel and iron were once thought to be magical substances. There is evidence suggesting that the iron found in early artifacts was not man-made but was taken from the fragments of meteorites. In many primitive or prehistoric cultures, the word “iron” actually means “stone (or hard substance or metal) from heaven”, “star metal”, or some other meaning suggesting an other-worldly origin. Chemical analysis of the earliest iron artifacts show the same percentage of nickel that is found in meteoric iron. During the last century, some “primitive” cultures have even been observed using iron from crashed meteorites to make various useful tools. " [ emphases added. ]

So, the steel is made from combining iron and carbon, heating and cooling, heating and cooling, then hammering to remove the impurities. Note the caution that this process can leave the steel brittle; you make it hard but flexible by reheating, but not as hot as before, and for a little more time.

Those who have ears, let them hear.

The Metaphor

Stupid people been taking the metaphor literally forever. Time to get serious now.

The 4 Elements

Earth = the physical body
Air = the breath of life
Fire = emotion, esp. the burning desire to accomplish " the Great Work "
Water = spirit

The 5th Element

The 5th element is time ( it combines the other 4 elements within itself; it takes a certain amount of time to accomplish the Great Work ).

The Secret Fire

From http://www.levity.com/alchemy/artephiu.html

" This has been transcribed from 'In Pursuit of Gold' by 'Lapidus' ... the preparation of the 'secret fire' (the catalyst or solvent which is used throughout the whole work, without which nothing can be achieved, but which is seldom if ever mentioned in any alchemical treatise) ... The reader will note that the language is allusive and recondite, that several names are used to refer to the same thing and that one name is used to refer to several things. This is, however, an exceptionally clear alchemical text. "

The secret fire is consciousness; but not just any consciousness - a consciousness tuned to Objective Reality, The Truth, and The Good.

The 1 True Religion

2005-01-18T08:44:00.000-08:00

Trinity
The original trinity was God the Father, God the Mother, and The Son of God. This was psychologically healthy for the human race, and has the added benefit of being essentially correct. Christianity, a psychopathically patriarchal death cult, transformed "God the Mother" into "the Holy Ghost" specifically to devalue The Female, so as to unbalance the individual and the planet.

The Logos
Because God "spoke" the universe into being (vibration), The Son of God was also called "The Word" of God; in Greek, Logos. We are all the Sons and Daughters of God, but The Logos is the only "begotten" Son of God.
However, the concept of The Logos meant much more to The Ancients than the Son/Word of God; It also included concepts such as Balance, Proper Proportion,and The Natural Order.

The Old Testament
The Old Testament is a chronicle of a people moving between 2 poles as they move through history: being in harmony and being out of harmony with The Logos - The Natural Order. When they are in harmony with The Logos, things go well for them; then they think they don't need to make the effort to be in harmony with The Logos, and they slip out of harmony with It. After a time, a "prophet" arises to tell them what they don't want to hear - that the problems that beset them are not caused by others, but by their own failure to think, feel, act, and live in harmony with The Natural Order. The good news is that solving the problem is just a matter of rejecting The Lie in favor of "The Truth and The Way"/The Logos/The Natural Order/The "Son of God".

Jesus
Jesus attained a state of understanding such that he channeled The Logos consciously, and embodied It in this world. So when Jesus said, "I am the Truth, I am the Way", he was speaking as The Logos.

The Man With 2 Brains
The left hemisphere of the brain ( which controls the right hand, and is linear & masculine ) responds to and is "reinforced" by ( in the psychological sense of the term) the written word. The right hemisphere of the brain ( which controls the left hand, and is intuitive & feminine ) responds to and is reinforced by the image. The pagan religions were all about the image, esp. as statues, which appealed to the right hemisphere, and produced illiterate cultures that valued The Female as Life-Giver.
However, apparently the left hemisphere felt neglected and unvalued in this scheme at the level of the collective unconscious. The imbalance created a rebound in the form of monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - which replaced the image of the Goddess with written words about an imageless male God. So, for @3 thousand years, we have had imbalance in the other direction (with the short-lived exception of The Age of Chivalry,with its black Madonnas and Quest for the Holy Grail.)
One example of The Natural Order is for the Male to lead the Female, in dancing as in life ( "He who does not dance does not know what is happening" - Gnostic proverb).
The reptilian brain ( at the top of the spinal cord ), on the other hand, fears being dominated by others, and so seeks to dominate others as a "pre-emptive strike." This domination is a violation of The Logos.

Man Save Man?
Will we as the human race pursue this path of unbalance right to our own destruction, like a giant Enron; or, will we combine what the right hemisphere values with what the left hemisphere values, to form 1 true religion? The clock is ticking...

"When you make the 2 into 1, then will you enter The Kingdom..."
