Hi:
Quickly, I am reading George Friedman's America's Secret War, and we will see if I decide to finish it, but it was surprisingly naïve and uninformed in places. For instance, it repeated the canard that the USA bombed Iraq in 1998 because of Hussein's "belligerence," when the reality was that the Iraqis cooperated with the inspections, but when the "inspectors," now known to be spies who were trying to help murder Hussein, wanted access to the imperial palace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Iraq_%281998%29#Criticism) (To search for WMDs! Wink, nudge.), the Iraqis balked, and then we bombed them. Iraq did not expel the inspectors, but they were withdrawn by the USA to prepare for the bombing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Iraq_%281998%29#Inspectors_not_thrown_out). I was writing about that stuff in 2002 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#spying), as were others, so, when Friedman repeated the fairy tale version of the events in his 2004 book, he lost a lot of credibility in my eyes.
Also, he takes the vanilla perspective regarding the USA's interests in the region. Oil is given minimal treatment, and the USA is just regarded as a big customer who wants to oil to keep flowing at a reasonable price. None of the larger perspectives were anywhere in evidence. Iraq's oil fields constituted history's greatest material prize, and the Bush administration was filled with oil industry executives, including its three highest-ranking officials (president, vice-president, and secretary of state). Friedman really had to strain to make any kind of connection between the "war on terror" and invading Iraq.
Anyway, I have never found political "realists" making convincing explanatory arguments, as they accept many retail presumptions and tend to subsume the economic motives below the political, which is never that way in a world of scarcity. Economics is the dog, and politics and statecraft is the tail, as Bucky noted (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics). Retail politics is the puppet show, a version of the bread and circuses routine used for millennia. And Godzilla sits far above those petty games.

If either one of these countries acknowledges that so called "alternative energy sources" have been developed for some time now, the population will what to know why were they forced to live in lack and war for so long, if this was no longer required? And this would quickly lead to the dismantling of the current power structure.
Good point, Ilie. I've been thinking that if a world leader attempts to trot out FE, it would be the oligarchs in the energy industry that would be threatened by it, and that leader would have those folks to deal with. But you're right. That leader would also have his entire populace after himself/herself if people ever realized that the technology has been around for years.
Wade,
Regarding your trip:
"It turned out that I was the only person prepared for the conditions that we encountered (trails turned to ice), but I only had gear for three of us, and the other two were seriously injured, and for a few scary moments (as I slid down a mountainside toward oblivion), it looked like I might have become the third."
That explains all the "polar vortex" monkeybusiness going on this week. :-) They knew you would be on that mountain and tried to GET ya! (Twisted humor. It's a Monday.)

Hi Seeker:
That may seem like a good joke, but unfortunately, I have encountered people with levels of paranoia not too far removed from that. Just this past weekend, I was invited to meet with somebody who heard of FE and wanted to talk with me. I declined the invitation. I have written about one person who ended up in a rubber room (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=466517&viewfull=1#post466517) after a couple of conversations with me, convinced that the "Big Boys" were out to get him.
I have been writing publicly about FE since 1996, and while I almost went to prison when the Big Boys raised the level of the game (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), and Mallove's murder spurred Brian to move to South America (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), and I did not blame him, and I have had my own Internet stalkers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), I have never been subjected to violent organized suppression for just writing. Heck, other than the stalkers, I am not aware of any games being played with me, although they can be so subtle that you do not know that you are being messed with.
But, as I have stated plenty, people are notoriously bad at assessing risk. I assessed risk professionally, and see people all the time blithely head toward disaster, oblivious of the risk, or get paranoid and hide under the covers so that the monsters under the bed can't get them. That is also reflected in the "Left" and "Right" not having a balanced reaction to the idea of Godzilla. They either deny his existence or obsess about him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). Both reactions are based in fear. A loving perspective just acknowledges his existence and treats him like a force of nature that cannot be negotiated with or defeated, but just planned for, to try to reduce the risk of exposure and develop contingency plans if the storm blows through.
As far as I have seen, people like me, just writing about FE, do not get Godzilla's royal treatment, which is why I am going about this the way that that I am. So far, most people around me want to stay anonymous because they fear Godzilla. Well, anybody interacting with me is not anonymous, as far as Godzilla is concerned. I am on his radar, and nobody on Earth can interact with me anonymously, as far as Godzilla is concerned. But he just watches. :)

Wade

Sounds like a good example and reason why some sort of mystical awakening is a requirement for the choir. I just read a terrific quote from another Avalonian today: "We need to remember also that we are the infinite on an excursion into the finite."
I think if you haven't yet grasped and assimilated that fuller perspective of Life, then your reactions to many things will be tainted by negative programming. Too fast too soon with some things can provoke greater emotions than they should.

Hi:
I will probably get to an epochal post or two today, but as an addendum to the previous post, I have written how Mr. Professor suspected somebody (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=698165&viewfull=1#post698165) in our operation being a plant because of his law enforcement past, and Mr. Professor's suspicions actually helped lead to the man's violent death. Conversely, I watched Mr. Engineer and Mr. Researcher sign up with Mr. Texas (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient3) and friends, and Mr. Texas very likely did work for Godzilla. And nothing I could say would dissuade them from jumping in bed with the real cutthroats as they abandoned Dennis. Their jumping in bed with Mr. Texas helped wreck my life. So, that is another set of examples of how paranoia and denial can be deadly afflictions in this field.
I know too many of those kinds of cautionary tales, I am sorry to say, and those fates are a big reason why I am going about this how I am. To help keep people out of trouble.
Best,
Wade

Hi Seeker:
The "funny" part of that person ending up in a rubber room was that he had traveled the world and his father tried to give him a mystical awakening the year before he met me. That mystical "awakening" may have helped send him over the edge. You have to keep both feet solidly on the ground to begin to engage Wade's World. :)
I have found that a general awakening (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800) is more important than a mystical one. Ralph McGehee is no mystic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm). He was just an overgrown Boy Scout (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) who pursued experiences that led him to his devastating realizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon). Like most of my fellow travelers, Ralph woke up the hard way.
While my mystical awakening (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#how) was highly relevant to my path, the most important part of it was just realizing that the Golden Rule is pretty damned good advice. The wisdom of the masters is largely common sense (or uncommon, when seen in one way). When I saw Mr. Texas make his play (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas), I could smell it a mile off, because I had seen it before in Seattle and elsewhere by that time, and I knew that it was dishonorable. Mr. Researcher and Mr. Engineer were both more than old enough to be my father, and supposedly smarter and worldlier than I was, and Mr. Engineer saw what happened in Seattle, too. I initially could not believe how easily Mr. Texas duped them, and nothing that I could say made a difference with them. But it was their lack of integrity more than their naïveté that saw them sign up with Mr. Texas. For a successful navigation of the FE milieu, truly the most important lessons we learned by age five (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#forgetting). Just remembering the basics is the most important part.
I have been asked if I had some mystical radar that allowed me to spot the psychopaths, but it was not that at all, but just learning Jesus's maxim: "By their fruits you will know them." Good guys don't slit throats (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#angel). When I saw them get their knives out, they announced who they were for those with eyes to see, but we have long tradition of "heroes" vanquishing the "bad guys," but those are folk tales. The "good guys" are not violent, or when they are violent (or backstabbing, etc.), they are not being "good." I have seen many people unnecessarily make it into some kind of mystical game, when it is just really ethics. Living by the Golden Rule, and loving the enemy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy), are about the most enlightened messages ever given to humanity, and there really is not much mystical hocus pocus about them.
The basic truths are really pretty simple, and it takes great gamesmanship and mind-f**k to lose sight of them. I see them as the love/fear divide. Anybody can rationalize anything, but the means become the ends, which is another bit of mystical advice (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist) that is really common sense. The mystical stuff is really pretty simple, or at least the worthy parts of it.
Back to chores.

Hi:
As an addendum to the dregs-sucking activities taking place in the USA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=902515&viewfull=1#post902515), here was a little news item that I just read (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-17/3-billion-gallons-fracking-wastewater-pumped-clean-california-aquifiers-errors-were-). When I took my Bucket List road trip last year and saw many people including Dennis (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872), three different times when I met friends, they told me about how fracking in their state (West Virginia, Montana, and New Mexico, if I recall correctly, but friends in about a dozen states that I visited could have said that) was going to be an environmental disaster, and I heard a relative in another state talk about it recently. I am not even bringing it up, but I hear it from people, and they are just concerned with the "unintentional" ramifications of fracking. Injecting fracking fluid into the water supply are the kinds of "oops!" moments that we can increasingly look forward to, and the Gulf Horizon spill and Fukushima might only be warmups of what we will experience in coming years. So, how about FE? :)

Hi:
OK, on to epochal change, which is a major theme of my essay.
The first epochal event(s), the development of stone tools (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1) and the control of fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), may well have each been invented once each, and their use spread. Whatever the order or dependencies may have been, they would have both been instrumental in changing the human journey, as they both allowed for an enhanced food supply, protection from predators, and the ability to leave Africa. They were also likely key events in gaining the energy needed to grow the human-line's brain (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain). The australopith who made the first stone tools could have had no conception of what the next half million years or so would lead to: a being that would have seemed magical to that Tesla of australopiths (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine1). Although millions of years of evolution and upright walking (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orrorin) led to that momentous event, when the event happened, the human-line changed in radical ways and led to the human brain. Although an unprecedented development led to that australopith Tesla making the breakthrough, the major cognitive developments, driven by enhanced energy practices, were in the future.
More than a million years of "boring (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#boring1)" life attended the reign of Homo erectus, but gradual "advances" led to larger brains, more sophisticated tools, and about 200,000 years ago, Homo sapiens appeared. But it would be another 100,000 years or more until humanity became behaviorally modern, and the mastery of language (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#language) was likely a key development, and maybe the key development. When a group of a few hundred of those humans, probably one marginal community in the struggle for survival in East Africa, left Africa (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit), nothing could withstand them. So, in that instance, great cognitive changes largely preceded the Epochal Event, but the energy of the world's large animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) fueled the human expansion across the planet. Even so, that founder group could not have imagined what the next 50,000 years would bring, as a few hundred people became several million, and humanity began to evolve into races.
When all the easy meat was gone, in a few overhunted places, and in as few as two (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1), humans began to domesticate plants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange3). The domestication of plants meant that sedentary populations could develop, and the land's carrying capacity under agriculture was about 200 times greater than under hunter-gatherer subsistence methods. Where agriculture appeared, civilization was not far behind. Cities are the great invention of domesticated humanity, and professions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions), literacy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing), and much of what is good and terrible about humanity came with civilization. The cognitive/social changes that the Domestication Revolution wrought were incredibly dramatic, compared to what came before.
Civilizations then rose and fell for millennia around Earth, especially in Eurasia, and particularly around the Fertile Crescent and Mediterranean (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations). Eurasian civilizations in China, India, Southeast Asia, the Fertile Crescent, and Mediterranean had cultural and technological exchanges, including domesticated plants and animals, and those interchanges spurred relatively rapid change, even as civilizations rose and collapsed. Greeks began something that could be called proto-scientific (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greece), and their inventions, such as the watermill, windmill and rational approach would influence the rise of Europe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toledo) more than a millennium later. Civilizations collapsed because they ran out of energy, usually in the form of food and wood, and as Europe learned to turn the world's oceans into a low-energy transportation lane (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) and thereby conquer Earth, one deforested imperial contender turned to coal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse), and the Industrial Revolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke) was born. The Industrial Revolution led to changes every bit as dramatic as the previous revolutions.
For each Epochal Event, if members of the societies that authored the event were asked what lied ahead, none of them, even the inventors, would have the slightest idea of what radical changes were coming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). The coming changes would have been unimaginable, and if you had tried explaining those changes to those pre-event societies, you would have received blank incomprehension in return, if you were lucky. If you had actually tried to drag long those beings into that future world, they would have likely fought you the entire way and would kill you if they could to prevent ending the world as they knew it.
Of course, each event was predicated on tapping a new energy resource, and each Epochal Phase was an order of magnitude shorter than the previous one, and the energy tapped for each phase was generally an order of magnitude greater or more than the previous one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable). Without the energy event, the rest would not have happened, and likely could not have happened. The journey of life on Earth is actually similar, in that there were great energy breakthroughs in biology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) that led to the appearance of humanity on the evolutionary scene.
The biggest energy event of all will be the arrival of FE. Somewhat paradoxically, the technical breakthrough has already been accomplished (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). But a phenomenon as old as civilization, called elite rule, has actively prevented the dissemination of such technologies, because FE will make elites obsolete (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear). The elites know it will, and keeping FE and what can come with it unimaginable to the masses is their greatest accomplishment. Their games also threaten to make Earth uninhabitable (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and the crazier among them plan to use Mars as their "ace in the hole (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars)" if their games make Earth uninhabitable. But sanity might prevail (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal).
The FE epoch will dwarf all that came before it. FE, antigravity, and other sequestered technologies will make humanity a space-faring species, no longer confined to Earth. Humanity will become what is called a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev).
And you will have about as much success telling your social circles (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) about the FE Epoch and what it would look like (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) as you would have if you had tried to tell an English peasant of 1500 about London in 2014 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine4). That peasant's initial reaction would have been incomprehension and fear. While I have been living with the potential of an FE-based civilization since the 1980s, when my FE adventures began (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), I slowly came to understand that the vast majority of humanity is indifferent, as they are egocentrically focused on surviving in a world of scarcity and sold out their sentience for the promise of security of some kind. In ways, I am sure that it is little different than the enforced norms of chimpanzees and other social apes. People are focused on survival and temporarily sating their addictions in their quest for a brief respite from the rigors of life on Earth. It is easy to judge such tunnel vision, but that judgment is a trap (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). But it is quite OK to just acknowledge where humanity's attention is focused and to realize that average people will not even begin to comprehend FE and its ramifications until it is delivered into their lives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli). In that way, today's humanity is no different than any other peoples immediately before the Epochal Events.
We are on the brink of oblivion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) or manifesting something that can look a lot like heaven on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and it will be reliant on the collective integrity and sentience that some tiny fraction of humanity can muster. The previous Epochal Events had extremely few authors, and it will be similar this time. It does not have to be me, but if somebody can mount a high-minded, comprehensive, heart-centered effort, of 100,000 people or so (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), it will easily overcome the organized suppression and humanity's inertia. I wish that I was not the only person trying that approach, and I expect my effort to start small, like all efforts begin, but if I can find people who can learn the curriculum and hit the notes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), we will be on our way to helping make something happen. Imagine being alive during the biggest event in the human journey. Well, you are here, now, when we are at the cusp (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). Heady stuff, and so heady that there are many casualties of just thinking about it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah). This is not a task for just anybody, but for an extremely tiny fraction of humanity with rare qualifications (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800). Only people like that have a prayer of making a dent. Otherwise, they easily fall prey to the many perils and temptations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls) that attend the process.
Time for bed.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As I have stated, the choir will not just make Q&A posts, but also more involved and thoughtful efforts. I do not expect peer-reviewed quality scientific papers, although such could be welcome, but what Melinda did, here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?72955-Free-Energy----healing-our-fears-and-the-path-to-creativity&p=853278&viewfull=1#post853278), is an example of the work that I encourage, or what David has plunked along on (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=749983&viewfull=1#post749983). My shorter essays (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm), 3 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm)) are also examples of what I also encourage. I truly hope that choir members write like that. The choir is intended to be a home for public writers, and the primary subjects will be abundance and planetary healing.
But there will also be conversations, and here are some more examples of what I seek.
Q. Hi Wade: You have covered your position on the abiotic oil hypothesis. Is there an abiotic coal hypothesis?
A. Yes, I have seen such a hypothesis. Similar to what I have seen with the abiotic oil hypotheses, the abiotic coal hypothesis is not taken seriously in scientific circles, and seems quite weak to me. One hypothesis that I have seen argues for the abiotic nature of the coal and oil deposits because they can be so thick, sometimes miles thick. But millions of years of deposition and shifting tectonic plates easily account for such thickness. For oil deposits, particularly those around the margins of what was the Tethys Ocean (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tethys), the reconstruction of the tectonic plate movements shows that plates that continually migrated northward squeezed out the Proto-Tethys (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#prototethys), Paleo-Tethys (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleotethys), and then Tethys Oceans over several hundred million years. When plates collide like that, the heavier oceanic plate gets shoved under the lighter continental plate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tectonics2), and those anoxic ocean sediments (from those many anoxic events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#anoxic) that led to mass extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctiontable)) get buried. That process is what leads to sedimentary layers that are miles thick.
Coal is similar, but the process was different. Coal was formed by the first forests. In a principle that peppers my essay and is key for paleo-biological understanding, a biological feature developed for one purpose can be "drafted" into another use (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dualuse). Lignin was drafted for that double duty. Lignin is a polymer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lignin), and plants "invented" it to provide the tubes that water can flow through, which made vascular plants possible. Plants soon used lignin for more than nutrient tubes: lignin became the structural basis for trees, similar to how steel beams are necessary for skyscrapers. And similar to steel beams, lignin does not degrade in the environment easily. For a hundred million years, nothing on Earth could degrade lignin, so tree after tree in the Carboniferous Period's swamps fell and were buried by more trees. That happened as the continents were crashing together to form Pangaea (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pangaeaforms), so those trees that would not rot got continually jammed into the earth and piled up deeply in places, sometimes thousands of feet thick.
One purpose of my big essay was to develop a comprehensive perspective, and bringing geology, biology, and physics together, to see how the evidence can mutually reinforce each other, can really help understand oil and coal formation, and can show how the abiotic hypotheses rest on shaky ground. I have seen many hypotheses floated, mainly to impress lay audiences, as the theorist will state, "and we know of no mechanism that can do that." I have seen it invoked in numerous areas, from 9/11 to artificial satellite management to coal and oil formation.
I have not seen anything about the accepted coal and oil formation hypotheses that have some kind of fatal flaw that topples the hypotheses, and independently converging lines of evidence strongly buttress the accepted hypotheses. For instance, oil and coal have carbon 12/13 ratios (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carbon13) that show that they formed from dead organisms. That alone presents a very high hurdle for the abiotic hypotheses, but reconstructions of plate movements, chemical markers, and other evidence has painted a very persuasive picture that geological processes working on marine and plant remains formed the oil and coal deposits that humanity is burning today with such abandon.
Most of Earth's known oil deposits were formed during anoxic events at the margins of the Tethys Ocean during the Mesozoic Era (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#anoxicoil) (when dinosaurs ruled Earth), especially in the Middle East. Most of Earth's coal deposits were formed during the Carboniferous, before fungi learned to digest lignin about 290 million years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#whiterot). Natural gas largely comes from marine sediments that got "cooked" too much (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oilwindow), and all the carbon-carbon bonds were broken, which left methane. Humanity is burning up those hydrocarbons a million times as fast as they were created, and the conditions for coal and oil formation, particularly in the amounts that exist in the deposits that humans have been mining, may never reappear on Earth.
I have snooped into the alternative hypotheses for coal and oil formation, and they are far from persuasive. And even if they were correct, mining and burning hydrocarbons to power the industrial age is an insanely dangerous practice. Humanity is in danger of artificially inducing another greenhouse Earth phase (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and the last time that it went from icehouse to greenhouse conditions, Earth had its greatest mass extinction event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction). The smart money thinks that World War III over the dwindling oil deposits (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) will do us in before human-induced environmental collapse does.
You cannot explore those subjects without encountering all sorts of challenges from the fringes. You will see arguments and evidence for vertical plate tectonics, challenges to the absolute dates of the geological timescale, and challenges of an even more current nature, such as Fomenko's challenge to recent chronology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_%28Fomenko%29). But when you poke into those fringe hypotheses, they generally fall apart upon close inspection. The movements of tectonic plates can be measured by satellites today (they move about as fast as fingernails grow), and the mountain chain that the Hawaiian Islands are the leading edge of, for instance, provides very clear evidence for how the plates move (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hawaii1), and provide another line of evidence to support the absolute dates developed by measuring radioactivity.
Not all fringe theory is created equal, and where wealth and power are impacted you will find the most suppression of alternative theory and data, such as in understanding cancer dynamics and treatment (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket), and free energy theory (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal). There is when you begin to see organized suppression being brought to bear, as economic empires are defended. What really happened to the dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction) does not threaten any empires today, so the investigations can progress without "national security" and commercial interests fouling the waters. I have encountered many fringe hypotheses that even if accurate did not have much political-economic impact, and certainly nothing remotely like what effective, harmless, and cheap cancer treatments can wreak on the medical establishment, and nothing like what free energy and antigravity technology would do to the world's power structure.
Take the moon landings. If they were faked, it would be newsworthy, but how would it impact anybody's daily lives? I looked long and hard into the moon landings evidence (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), and I never encountered persuasive evidence of faked moon landings, and a vast amount of robust evidence that showed that we really landed men on the moon. But like Flat Earth "theory" (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth) faked moon landings "theory" will likely outlive me.
Take John Kennedy's murder (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk). I had inside information on his murder, and I am certain that Oswald was no lone nut. With what I have seen, I will side with the hypothesis that interests in the military-industrial complex (which Eisenhower warned the USA about) were behind JFK's murder and cover-up, but nobody is ever going to "solve the crime" and put perpetrators behind bars. Probably the key finding that we can take away with us about JFK's murder is that all American presidents since then have been outright puppets (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents), and they know it. The power is not vested in those who sit on the throne. The throne is just for show, as Bucky Fuller noted (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics).
And I am not writing this as some kind of academic, but somebody who was in the FE and related milieus and survived to tell the tale (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting). My fellow travelers, for those who survived the experience, report experiences starkly different (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) than what John Q. Public can see from his cubicle or on TV, and untimely deaths are common (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). So it is, when you poke around with making Epochal Events happen that will make elites obsolete (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear). Many megalomaniacs are in their midst, and they are not ready to give up their games of power and domination. But cooler heads may prevail.
So, that is another example of discussions that I hope to see as the choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) takes shape.
Back to work.

Hello,
I've been around coal most of my life. And I still have to handle coal when I travel to my parents home. Yes, around here, coal is the main power source that keeps the home warm and to a larger level provides provides some of the electricity.
I've seen coal being mined (from "surface mines" did not dare go into the "hole"). I've seen it transported and broken down. And once it got home, sometimes I would have to break it down even further to get it into storage. Later on, more breaking would happen so it would fit into the stove.
While doing such activities I would find "tree branches" or "tree trunks" embedded into the coal structure :). As a child I though that coal was poured over some poor trees and they were caught in, but later on I learned about the origins of coal.
So to me, is plain as clear day, that the coal I have been handling is pretty organic in nature. If you have ever split wood for fire then you will know how to break down coal as well.
I also understand that are a couple of forms of coal. I've worked with Lignite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignite).

Hi Ilie:
Yes, working with the stuff gives you a better feel for it. Lignite is the lowest grade of coal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#domesday), because it has been "processed" the least by geological forces. Anthracite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracite) is the "good stuff," as it is the cleanest burning and produces the most energy. But nobody would use coal if they had wood, oil, or gas. Bituminous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bituminous_coal) is the standard coal that powered the Industrial Revolution.
I was just talking last weekend about my grandparents' home here in Washington that had a coal bin the basement. Nobody burns coal in the USA in homes if they can avoid it. Everybody preferred wood, and even when England turned to coal, they did not use it in the home, but only in industry (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse).
My wife's parents lived on a few acres of woods, and they heated their home with a wood stove, and a solar system heated their water. I split a few cords of wood, and woods generally only yield about a cord a year sustainably, per acre, so over the years, their land started looking a little "deforested." :) They got too old to keep up the place and sold it, but I got to see a microcosm of what early civilizations did to the lands (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations), as they deforested them.

Hi:
To Ilie's comment on coal's origins, oil also has plenty associated with it that leads to the idea that it came from decayed life forms, even without the carbon ratio evidence. One explanation of the life forms found with oil is that thermophilic bacteria were eating the abiogenic oil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenic_petroleum_origin#Microbial_biomarkers). It is not an accepted hypothesis, and that argument certainly cannot be made for the plant remains in coal beds.
I decided to take pass through my Savings and Loan Scandal essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm) today. As I stated before, I took a pass through all of my big essays, and only have odds and ends like that essay to tweak.
I doubt that I need to remind anybody how precarious the global financial system is. The epic money printing by the USA, Europe, China, and Japan is going to end very badly, and these confrontations of Russia are just more of the USA taking the blowtorch to the powder keg. Those ghost cities built in China are only symptoms of how crazy it all is. Look out below.

Hi:
One of the nice things about publishing on my own site is how easily I can change things. I did a little typo hunt and style revision in some of my medical racket essay, and just did a typo hunt in one chapter of my big essay, and found a few. I will probably be doing that as an old man. That big essay will get revisions and refinements until I am too old to do it anymore. I do not revise the .pdf versions for those small tweaks. They will only get revised when I make version 1.1, etc.
Back to the epochal perspective, and I have somewhat covered this territory before. While those epochal events could not be foreseen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) by beings living just before the event began, even if they were somehow given a glimpse of it, almost nobody would have believed any of it. The cognitive and social changes came after the event, and the Industrial Revolution and slavery is a very pertinent example of what FE activists face today.
Again, if you had tried to talk to Isaac Newton in 1720 about the evils of slavery and proposed its obsolescence, he would have looked at you like you were crazy, even as he was losing his life's savings speculating in the slave trade (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas). A mere generation later, as steam engines (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biomass1) and spinning machines (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spinning) began to obviously make human grunt labor obsolete, only then was slavery challenged on a universal basis for the first time. Slavery was older than civilization, and it was only when slavery began to become economically unviable that people began to develop a collective conscience around the slavery issue. But those whose preindustrial economies were based on slave labor defended the institution to the end, including the men who invented freedom (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers), if the American history taught to its children was accurate (which we know is not the case :) ).
Slaves had been freed in the historical past, here and there, before Newton lived, so the idea of slaves becoming free was not some radical concept, but the idea of slavery being an evil institution that should be abolished did not take root until it became economically obsolete.
Virtually the same situation exists today with FE and abundance. With extremely few and brief Golden Ages (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages) of relative abundance, scarcity is all that humanity has known. People like me trying to reach the public with talk of FE and abundance are received like I would have been if I had tried to talk Newton out of accepting slavery as a necessary (if perhaps evil) institution. As Fuller noted (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity2), scarcity has been baked deeply, and people are not even going to wake up to the idea of abundance until the means for creating it is part of their daily lives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli). Then, they will wake up, and probably quickly (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken), especially with people like me on the global stage like I am.
It will be a very freakish fringe that can comprehend abundance before it is delivered into their lives, much less help it manifest. Again, I am beginning with training one person, then two, and they will begin to hit the notes, and the more talented singers will join up early on, as singing that song is what they came for in this lifetime. I will no longer be a voice in the wilderness, and other venues might begin to hum the tune, and eventually a choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will form. Since I am the first person on Earth trying to build that choir that I know of (and only people in the FE field can really help practical abundance come about, so my effort is likely unique on Earth), it will need to start here, but as my material is given away, there is nothing stopping others from trying their hand (or voice) at it.
If previous events are any guide, I will be the original and others will eventually surpass me, and I hope that they do, but the nativity of being the inventor means that I will influence all subsequent efforts, and that is why I have been very careful and methodical about my approach. If the foundation is not properly set, a bunch of half-cocked efforts are going to crash and burn while taking many lives down with them. I do not want to star in any more movies like that, or inspire anybody else to audition for that role.
Back to work.

Wade

Hi:
I edited a few "life on Earth" chapters of my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) today, generally just changing a word or two here and there. I am the author the damned thing, and even when I read it, it is one hell of a ride. A few minutes ago, I sat back and tried to take in what I did. That essay is going to outlive me, and I am sympathetic to anybody who is overwhelmed by it, but digesting it, no matter how long it takes, and no matter how small or large the bites are, is going to be worthwhile. Many key ideas for learning the song and singing it are in that essay, and while some pieces may seem extraneous or irrelevant, they all play their role in drawing the comprehensive picture that I present. I can understand readers who want to cut to the chase of the FE chapters, but the journey through the essay to get there is critical for developing the perspective needed so that the reader can become a valuable contributor for helping FE manifest. Without that comprehensive perspective, it is so easy to get distracted, to wander off into blind alleys and disappear down rabbit holes that lead nowhere. Many distractions and pitfalls beckon (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls).
If people can gain that comprehensive perspective, they won't need me to help them keep their eye on the ball, which is my ultimate goal, as far as the writing goes.

Wade

Hi:
I am editing a few more chapters in the big essay, and one purpose of that essay is to show trends in nature and how humans have impacted them. Scientists readily admit that describing evolutionary trends and outcomes, and being able to explain them, certainly does not make them desirable. "Natural" does not mean "good," and when the long view that paleobiologists have developed is digested, not only can many human traits be discerned in the journey of life on Earth, but how humans are different and have changed things can be more readily discerned.
For instance, killing off neighboring communities (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), dominating females, and killing infants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#infanticide1) is "natural" among chimpanzees, but the total lack of such behaviors is "natural" with bonobos (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1), who took advantage of a doubling of their food supply to enact radical social change. The human journey is largely defined by economic events (energy events) that were used to radically change human societies, so is really a continuation of what our great ape cousins did.
As I have written, just in the course of digesting that essay, it should become obvious that the denial of Peak Oil (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert) and Global Warming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) are political positions adopted by the scientifically illiterate and their manipulators in the hydrocarbon lobby and other interests, and the primary seduction of those ideas is that they relieve us all of any personal responsibility for our actions, in the classic victim-oriented view of life (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness) that humans have mastered.
Equally, fads such as "paleo" diets are easily seen as pining for some Golden Age that never was. Like all apes, humans are best suited to eat fruit, which has a heritage that hails back to the dinosaur days. There is nothing "natural" about a farm.
So, we have a long tail of our evolutionary history that we drag along with us, and the primary human predilections have been the same that all life has had for billions of years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#liferequirements):
Obtain energy;
Avoid becoming an energy source for another organism long enough to…
Procreate
Those basics have never changed and never will, as far as those being the basics of human existence. Humans are theoretically a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience), and we have made great changes to Earth's ecosystems. Killing off most of Earth's large animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) was only the warmup. Domesticating plants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange3) and animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goat) and engaging in vast deforestation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy) dramatically changed Earth's ecosystems, almost beyond recognition. But until the Industrial Revolution, humans have always faced the specter of starvation, and all civilizations ran out of energy and collapsed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climate1). Industrial civilization is currently running out of energy, and its collapse (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) will dwarf all previous collapses. World War III (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) may happen before environmental collapse, fighting over the dwindling oil deposits, in a "race of the manmade catastrophes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oilgenocide)" scenario.
We can either wake up and experience something that looks a lot like heaven on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), or we can experience a global catastrophe that might take humanity with it. As we keep on this trajectory, any middle ground between those divergent futures (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth) becomes less likely. The "solutions" put forth by Peak Oilers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm) and environmentalists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists) are based on austerity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity) and a "vision" that has driven people to commit suicide (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#suicide). Even "visionaries" like that Venus Project guy blew a gasket in Brian's home when Brian mentioned FE. As Fuller noted (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity2), scarcity and failure are deeply baked into the human animal, and overcoming that, along with our egocentric ways that rarely see past our immediate self-interest, will be the acid test of our sentience. As Michael said, ensouled species at the stage we are at today do not make it a third of the time (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3), as they destroy themselves via environmental destruction or warfare, so overcoming scarcity may be a pretty universal theme. FE can do it, and nothing else can.
So, what will we choose?
Back to work.

Wade

Hi:
I have been asked if my editorial changes to my big essay are significant, and the answer is no. I am only making style, grammar, and typo changes. Also, I have approached the essay like a reader, and just a few minutes ago, I pulled some books from my library that I referred to in the essay's footnotes, to make sure that I got my facts right. So far, so good. :)
I have not made any content changes to the big essay in over a month, and at this time, unless I find mistake or am informed of any, I am not planning to make content changes for years. Version 2.0 is a ways out, if I ever do it.
I had some rather pronounced pressures on me as I wrote that essay, and I really had to resist cutting the process short and kind of making it a sloppy effort. I knew that I would not write anything like it again in this lifetime, and I was not going to compromise. I was able to finish the essay on my own terms, and have to say that I am happy with how it turned out. I am also very happy that I also had the time to revise the other essays on my site and align them with my big essay. My site is kind of an integrated whole today, at least as integrated as such vast subject matter can be, especially with a one-man show doing it. If I died tomorrow, I would not be disappointed with the writings I would leave behind. I plan to stay involved to build that choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), but I am really hoping that that will be the fun part.
For the record, in the past few days, I revised my "life on Earth" chapters before humans arrived on the scene, from the Cryogenian Ice Age (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cryogenian) to the Age of Mammals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammals). I have not updated the .pdf versions for my changes, and if people compared a .pdf chapter to an HTML one, they would hardly notice the differences.
Although it can be a wild ride for me to read my work, it has also been fun. I wrote that essay from a sense of joy and wonder, which is what I hope to impart to the readers. Most of my site's writings reflected in the 2002 version, which still comprises the bulk of my site, were often very emotionally trying to read, but my big essay is not that way (At least the pre-human chapters! :) ). So, I can see myself going back and editing the early and late chapters again, if I can find the time (I hope to resume my career soon).
Time for chores.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have stated it before and will do it again, I will take all feedback on my big essay, and even my site, but am really focusing on getting that big essay as good as I can get it. At this time, typos and errors of grammar or fact are what I am most interested in receiving. Any Avalonian is welcome to PM me with any.
I have been at this since 1990, and have developed a pretty thick skin relating to my writings. I doubt that I can get offended. The only thing that ever offended me was when I was attacked while my motivation was called into question, but it has been many years since I have really felt that way, as I realized that whenever I was attacked in that way, the attackers were simply projecting their internal dysfunction onto me. Those with crime in their hearts see criminals everywhere, and most people cannot even distinguish the psychopaths from the saints. I learned that one the hard way during my years with Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting).
As far as my big essay and getting it accurate goes, I have heard from world authorities on the pre-human parts of my essay, and all I have received is praise, so I doubt that I screwed up that part too badly. When I get that praise, my first response is to ask for feedback on any errors that I made.
On the human chapters, I have yet to hear from historians, economists, scientists, and others with expert opinions, and we will see how it goes, but my interactions with them over the years leads me to believe that I will have similar reactions from them.
I really have not gone out on a limb much in my essay. My pre-human parts of the essay reflect the state-of-the-art orthodox science, and I have not seen Godzilla meddle in those areas, as the truth regarding the demise of the dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction) has no immediate effect on Godzilla's empire. I have kind of gone out on a limb with Wrangham's cooking hypothesis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking) and the collapse of civilizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses), but not much. Wrangham's is the most speculative, but at this time, I find key parts of it very persuasive, and evidence keeps coming to light that rolls back the date of controlling fire, and I consider it very likely that the control of fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1) was accomplished only once, and then the practice spread to all human species.
Civilizations collapsing because they ran out of energy is actually the leading scientific consensus today, and today's often-bitter arguments are over what the role of environmental collapse was, but all leading hypotheses are variations of running out of energy, particularly food and wood. Everything else really is noise. Basically, the big investment in a civilization's infrastructure would only be abandoned if there was no longer enough energy to run its moving parts. Abandoning a civilization was really a simple economic decision, usually triggered by hunger.
I am pretty ardent about the megafauna extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), but my position is only a little more incautious than mainstream science's position today. There is still some debate on the South American extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#westernmegafauna), but I would bet the farm that it will be shown that humans were entirely responsible, just like the invasion of North American mammals was entirely responsible for what happened in South America three million years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pliocene).
My Epochal Event framework is not entirely my invention (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paradigm), but I have taken it further than anybody else has, and my emphasis on the energy event precipitating the cognitive and social changes is new, as far as know, and my FE aspect (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is original. So, I can see scientists and academics challenging that framework (if they do not get stuck in Level 3 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)), and I would welcome the challenge.
As I have been putting up some fictional Q&As lately (with more likely to come :) ), I am giving a hint of what I hope that my essay spurs, which is a wide-ranging, comprehensive, and ultimately deep conversation on those issues, which will eventually result in singing ( :) ). The touchstone of conversation will be that big essay, but there are literally thousands of different subjects that can be discussed in the context of that essay, and I look forward to having those conversations.

Dearest Wade...
Posts 4266 and 4267 and of course 4268 simply blew my mind...as it were....
However it is about a life process.
And so you would say that to obsess over that great figure "Godzilla" is quite a waste of time.....
I would think so...
With the current man made process one would think time is not in our hands....and so procreation and energy and survival are all connected....to a life process....
And so if one was so lucky to live long enough to procreate one would indeed worry about his children....

Hi:
I decided to take a pass through the big essay's early chapters. There is always something to refine a little. Again, not much that a reader would notice, and no content changes, although I still keep referring to works in the notes, to make sure I got it right.
Current events in the USA helped spur this post. One of the USA's most beloved and "wholesome" entertainers is being accused by multiple women, a few pretty prominent, of drugging and raping them. I have not followed it real closely, but I would bet that, similar to all of Tiger Woods's women, including his extramarital transgressions, that the women will almost all be white, if not exclusively, which reflects one of the grim legacies of slavery in the USA. We have the recent spectacle of NFL players beating their children and wives, hardly a month goes by without another school or workplace massacre (one took place not far from my home recently), all while we kill off millions of people in Hydrocarbon Country (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) and our economy teeters on the brink of collapse (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming) while the stock markets hit all-time highs. Crazy, crazy times.
There is plenty to comment about, but I want to draw attention to the idea that if FE made its appearance, all of that craziness would probably quickly disappear. The youth will "get it" sooner than adults will, as the younger ones are not as trapped in their paradigm (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded), but the end of scarcity will impact those older ones, too.
As I write about regularly, with FE will come many radical changes, and the social changes will seem the most dramatic to many people. The nuclear family will likely vanish and be replaced with something far healthier. No parents will abuse their children, and no woman will conceive unless she wants to (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=900162&viewfull=1#post900162). Rape and all forms of sexual coercion will go the way of slavery. Race and cities will largely disappear, and many changes will happen to human societies that are currently hard to even imagine. I have spent nearly the past 30 years imagining the changes, and I happily admit that I have only scratched the surface with my writings (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive).
Those who argue that it is human "nature" for men to murder, rape, and plunder only need to see the example that bonobos have set (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) to realize how delusional that view is. Women can step up and help end those practices, but they won't do it, or even really think of it much, until the means for abundance and radically different social organization are delivered, as it has been for every Epochal Event.
Back to work.

Hi:
I guess the only reasons why I am writing this post is because I live in history's richest and most powerful nation (although probably not for long, one way or another). In 2000, when Bush was "elected (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#nader)," I was sent the attached picture, which I edited for family audiences. :) Part of me was happy that Bush was elected, as I thought that it might wake up the USA to how far and fast we were falling – they could have put a chimp in the Oval Office and it would have been an improvement – but even the nightmare of the Bush years failed to make a dent in American delusions.
I just saw an article on Obama's immigration plan, and the headliners were Hillary and Jeb, weighing in with their reactions, and it hit me. A few years ago, I thought that it would be just one more macabre joke, but it really looks like it is going to happen: the 2016 presidential election will be Hillary versus Jeb. That is surreal. I have given up on any of it waking up Americans in the slightest, but the rest of the world should see what a fetid toilet bowl the American retail political system is circling.
Was it even this bad with Roman Emperors or European royalty? The Rockefellers own the Bushes, and Clinton, Carter, and Obama all had David Rockefeller to thank for becoming president. Nelson Rockefeller came within a bullet or two (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#rockefeller) from becoming an American president who was never on a ballot, the Dulles brothers were Rockefeller assets (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles), etc., etc.
Amazing times, and if the world was not heading toward the cliff at warp speed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), I might say, "I used to be disgusted, but now I am just amused."

Hi
Wade, the kind of surreality you describe is happening all around. And The People are waking up on a daily basis. In my "liberated" country many folks express their view of demmocracy being an illusion in Poland. Last weekend we had municipal governments elections countrywide. Votes were counted by poorly designed software. Word is it was used on elections day for the first time. Buggy and untested. People reported their votes where not counted and th people they voted for assigned not a single vote. But according to "authorities", all is well and protestors are being arrested for occupying administrative building. Mean while TV is serving mind dumbing pulp fiction. I had an occasion to taste it while waiting in the car wash lobby. It was so disgusting i choose to wait outside ;) In the chill of the evening....

While reading your great essay I came across this gem of an article. Let me explain...I got to your charts on human history and I just had to click on your link to the "Zero Point Field" and of course that led me to the link you provided to a student of Mr. Fullers and what he did with his life.
I am well aware of the truth about America from Zinn to Chomski and Mr. Lampe......
When one discovers the truth about America and since I am an American it was a brutal awakening since everything told one is a lie and a big one at that....
One must have a period of reflection and that will be an examination of grief over a tremendous loss....for it is a tremendous loss to discover that America is not how she was billed and once through such a process ....that is if you are an American...one becomes free!!
And so...at least for me when I read Wade's words it is a process directed at the truth....
So, looked at in this way one can digest Wade's massive article on the American Empire and come out mostly unscathed....and your massive article on the state of world affairs and the environment.
Only a highly subjective opinion based on my own experience...

Hi All:
Hi Robert, yes, it is surreal all over, and more are waking up. Will it be enough, fast enough, to avoid the abyss (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth)? I am trying to find out, but a person will have to be well on their way in order to digest my work. Nine, a self-admitted "retard" is digesting my American Empire information without blowing a fuse. My work is not really very intellectually demanding, but it just challenges all of those false beliefs that we are indoctrinated with (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and it can really become mind-numbing in the USA, when the lies come at us from all directions, 24/7.
Hi Nine:
When Dennis discovered that American nationalism was a lie that he was fed from his cradle, he nearly killed himself (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice), but it was the beginning of his awakening. Nobody initially likes to hear that they have been embracing lies for their entire lives, but it is the process of becoming truly free and sentient (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). My work makes the case that those lies permeate most aspects of our existences, from the "news (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big)," to history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), to medicine (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction), and yes, to the energy paradigm. That article that you link to, of Adam's adventures, is another odyssey in the "Land of the Free." When Adam discovered his father's journals (http://spiritofmaat.com/archive/feb2/trombly.htm), which described his efforts of working with captured ET technology and reverse-engineering it, which is why his father was killed by the federal government, he nearly killed himself, and at that moment, his awakening began. This is a common theme with my fellow travelers. When Ralph McGehee finally figured out what the CIA was all about (or not all about), he also nearly killed himself (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), but it began his awakening. My awakening moment was on the witness stand (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces), and instead of wanting to kill myself, I saw myself killing some "public servants." (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it) What a brutal way to wake up, and I have written that the depths that people went when awakening appears to be proportional to how much they awoke. I am not saying that I recommend that way, but it sure wakes you up. :)
This is good place to segue to a semi-fictional Q&A relating to my big essay. I was PM-ed a question, and I will turn it into a Q&A.
Q: Hi Wade. Could you discuss that inductive reasoning that scientists use to develop their hypotheses (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories)? It seems a lot like inventing to me, in which intuition is also used.
A: Great subject. Yes, inductive logic and intuition are closely related, and many argue that intuition uses inductive logic. Einstein's solution to relativity came to him in a dream (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash), and after that, it was just working out the details. What happened in that dream could be called intuition, but it can also be called inductive logic, and scientists have called it the Creative Moment. Heisenberg developed quantum theory in a fevered weekend, and my mentor's engine (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) design came to him in a flash, and all he had to do was go home and sketch it for half an hour. That engine's greatest champion, a rocket scientist who helped save the American space program, told my mentor that it should have taken a team of engineers a career to come up with what came to him in a flash.
I had a more mundane version of that, home from work with a fever, in an altered state, when I saw the vision that could get every truck driver home every night (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#how). I had been groping toward the paradigm that dominates my work for 30 years when I read Fuller's work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), and then it all clicked into place. While the Epochal Event idea and others in my big essay were developed since then, it was really only a refinement of the paradigm, not a radical shift. My radicalizing moment came on a witness stand.
I have seen that big "aha" moment happen for many of my fellow travelers, and it often had mystical clothing, such as Mark's Kundalini experience that awoke him and allowed him to make that FE prototype in the basement of a nuclear lab (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647). As with all who went very far, we had far more than one awakening moment, and Mark's second one began the day after he invented the FE prototype. My first awakening experience was doing remote viewing exercises (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown), and Brian O awoke doing the same exercise (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#oleary). But those experiences were just the beginnings of our odysseys.
So, those big breakthrough moments were all similar. You could say that Dennis's awakening moment in that bank lobby was when Dennis got some new data points that falsified his belief system. You could even say that it was inductive logic that brought him to a new view (or could be argued was deductive logic that falsified his nationalistic indoctrination, but what came right behind it can be argued to be inductive logic). It was immediately followed by a voice in his head, which prevented him from killing himself. So, inductive logic and "intuition" were very closely aligned.
Herschel's proposal, which Darwin fiercely embraced and led to his theory of evolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Herschel#Early_life_and_work_on_astronomy), can seem like sterile logic, but anybody who has used that inductive logic to derive a hypothesis will tell you of that "aha" moment when the Creative Moment came. Then, it all looked different and possessed an order previously invisible. That is how paradigm shifts happen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction).
What is brilliant about Herschel's proposal is that it begins with some evidence about the physical universe (a "fact" that everybody can agree on), maybe new evidence, and maybe old evidence that has been wrestled with for many years, as to its meaning. For scientific hypotheses, it is the sum total of all evidence for a particular phenomenon. Then the scientist thinks long and hard about the evidence and what it might mean, and through inductive logic arrives at a hypothesis. Scientists actually pride themselves on coming up with multiple hypotheses to explain the evidence, which is partly why hypotheses proliferate on scientific topics. New hypotheses are never born via committee, but usually in the mind of one person.
I present some examples in my big essay (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#shuram), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#challenges)) of hypothesis proliferation, to show how the scientific process operates today. That process is crucial to the progress of science, and the ideal is getting a bunch of hypotheses on the table, and only then can testing, by using new evidence and deductive logic, evaluate the hypotheses. Those bright ideas are tested in the crucible of evidence and deductive logic.
The challenge is for scientists to not get too attached to their hypotheses, but when careers, grants, and Nobel Prizes can ride on the outcome (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nobel1), the ideal of the scientific method is rarely achieved, and when scientific investigation runs into vested interests, then scientific objectivity goes flying out the window and reality is either covered up or inverted, like it is for FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make).
The challenge for scientists is just like it was for Dennis, which is realizing the lies they were fed, to control them. Because personal integrity is the world's scarcest commodity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), in a world of scarcity and fear, few are willing or able to jettison their indoctrination, and that is why nearly all scientists and the "smart" become Level 3s (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), as they defend the paradigm that feeds them as irrationally as any flag-waving American (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#flag) defends the fairy tales of American nationalism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#weems), or a Bible-thumper defends the literal truth of the Bible (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales). You may have to see it to believe it, that the "smart" can be so naïve (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive) and irrational (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#circular). Their ego-defense mechanisms are only more sophisticated.
While imagination is vital (Einstein said that it was more important than knowledge (http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/556030-imagination-is-more-important-than-knowledge-for-knowledge-is-limited)) science's virtue is taking the product of the imagination (the Creative Moment, using intuition and inductive logic) and subjecting it to the rigors of physical testing and deductive logic.
Also, what scientists do not like hearing is that only one-to-two percent of scientists have much creative insight, and the rest are plodders (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#plod). I am an artisan soul (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), as was Mr. Mentor and Einstein. Artisans make for great generalists, as they operate on several different wavelengths at once, and they then bring them together into something new, which reflects the positive pole of an artisan, which is creation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael), and the positive pole can only be tapped through love. This is another reason why I say that FE and love are joined at the hip (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest).
Again, that is a great topic that I could go on with for days. I added these sentences to my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists), to clarify the relationship between specialists, generalists, inventors, and the Creative Moment.
"New hypotheses often come from generalists and their inductive reasoning, and the best of them usually have some flash of insight (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash) that leads them to their breakthroughs, which is called intuition or the Creative Moment. I found that it is a close cousin to psychic ability, if not the same thing."
Back to work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I just finished the process of editing my big essay's first half, up to here (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint). Again, the changes are subtle, and the content did not change. Other than that clarifying couple of sentences that I reproduced in my prior post, there were no other changes of substance, but just typo hunting and style and grammar changes. I'll get around to doing it to the essay's last half one day, but am I no rush, and do not plan any content changes.

Hi:
I wanted to revisit that "end of the nuclear family (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904050&viewfull=1#post904050)" post. In order to begin to understand, people will have to go paradigm-deep, and I do not expect anybody outside of the choir or its intended audience to really understand, just like few can really comprehend the end of cities (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities). I have seen the immediate reaction to the end of cities as thinking that humanity will turn into a bunch of isolated hillbillies. That will be the furthest thing from what will happen. Anybody will easily be able to communicate with anybody on Earth, and traveling across Earth will be easier than traveling across one of today's cities. People will interact socially because they want to, not because they are crammed cheek-by-jowl in cities in order to survive.
The end of the nuclear family will not mean the end of intimacy, neglected children, and the like. All such notions are projections of today's mentality onto humanity's next Epochal Phase. Humanity's primary social unit may still be mothers and their children, but in a world of abundance, nobody's needs are not met. In a world of abundance, humanity has a chance to become a truly sentient species, and the welfare of every human, and all life on Earth, will be humanity's collective concern (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric). The egocentric pursuits of today's humanity will become obsolete, and a more soul-centric orientation will take shape.
What we see today's trust-fund kids do is not what people in a world of abundance will do. They are oblivious silver-spooners who indulge their egos. Everybody will know the rudiments of how the world works, the "workday (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#workday)" will be an hour long or so, and everybody on Earth will have a standard of living that makes Bill Gates seem a pauper, and "freeloading" will be seen as what infants do, and if some people cannot get with it, they will be seen as sick people and helped, not punished with "tough love," etc.
Again, people cannot look at their world today and project what they see onto the FE situation. That would be like that 1500s English peasant predicting how the Industrial Revolution would turn out (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine4). That peasant could not even imagine the end of slavery as institution.
But, when you begin to really wrap your head around what FE and abundance can mean, then a radically different world comes into view (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). If we turn the corner, that Roads world can begin to come into view (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions). But it will not begin to come into view before then, particularly for the masses.
On a different note, I mentioned the scientists who avidly read my big essay and praise it, but what is more important to me has been hearing from non-scientists who have informed me that my big essay is really not all that hard to understand, especially the gist of it. That was my intention, and it seems to be having its intended effect for those who are doing the work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
This morning I was reminded again of the mountain of chaff on the fringes, and why what I am doing is something different. If I had to summarize what I keep seeing over and over, the problems that I see on the fringes are:
Lack of integrity;
Lack of experience;
Lack of discernment.
The integrity aspect is by far the most important. In a world of scarcity, personal integrity is the world's scarcest commodity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), which I learned the hard way. If that integrity is not there, the rest does not matter. There are many ways to fail the integrity test, and on the FE front, I have seen so many ways that people crash and burn, and it almost always had to do with self-seeking of one kind or another, which is primarily why all FE efforts have failed. Inventors almost invariably try to get rich and famous, think that they are the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and so forth, trying to be heroes. Dennis's efforts are the only that I am aware of that actually brought disruptive energy technology to market (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), and that is where the steep learning curve begins. Almost no other fringe stuff ever reaches the level of importance where such issues are faced.
I have yet to see anybody else in the FE field really engage the lessons of Dennis's journey and try to learn from them. Instead, they all have some level of denial of the reality on the ground (Godzilla is far from the deadliest threat – the biggest threats come from you and your "allies" – you only get to meet Godzilla's minions if you survive your own foibles, your "allies," and the lower level predators long enough so that you "graduate" to becoming a problem for Godzilla to solve), or they uncritically repeat establishment disinformation about Dennis, or they make up the lies themselves and their pals in the field repeat the disinformation ad infinitum. As I recently said about American retail politics, "I used to be disgusted, but now I am just amused (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904153&viewfull=1#post904153)." That is pretty much my attitude today regarding the FE field and the peanut gallery that discusses it, and is why I do not want to have anything to do with the field today. The two people that I respected the most in the field – Dennis and Brian (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) – were both run out of their home nation, AKA The Land of the Free. I have data points from other fellow travelers, such as Mark, Adam, Greer, and some others, but it is not very many. Most such fellow travelers, if they survived the experience, are out of the field today, sitting in their rocking chairs, and I don't blame them.
The good stuff in the disruptive energy technology field is always suppressed and/or sequestered (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), so what spectators see in the field today is almost all the chaff after the wheat was removed. But I constantly see FE newbies promoting this or that inventor-of-the-hour (and even veterans do this, I am sorry to say, as they cheer on the latest fool who tries to take on the killer bunny (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxKIJTb3Hg)), as if they are cheering at a horserace. A great deal of "insider" revelations is disinformation, either purveyed as part of their jobs, they were unwittingly fed the disinfo, or they were attention seekers who pose as insiders. Most like me take insider revelations with a grain of salt.
That lack of integrity manifests in many ways, and this morning I was reminded about how disinformation among the FE field's spectators keep circulating ad infinitum, similar to how hoaxed moon landings "evidence (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo)" will circulate forever, and become another "Flat Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth)" society one day. That situation largely stems from a lack of integrity and discernment. If Brian had ever done the work, he would have ceased his moon landings "skepticism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#statement)," and would have not allowed himself to get sucked into that controversy. On FE, 13 years after it was written, this libel piece is alive and well (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), and I was reminded of it again this morning. The writer and promoters of that libel piece have been contacted by me and others repeatedly over the years, and my message is to either substantiate the claims against Dennis or retract them, and they always have given me and others the finger, which means that they spectacularly failed the integrity test, but I constantly see them promoted as wise voices in the field. Again, that is a failure of integrity and discernment, on both their part and by those who promote them.
I also have encountered stunning levels of naïveté and lack of discernment in the FE field, such as welcoming people such as Mr. Skeptic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/skeptic.htm) into their midst. And just as how my warnings about Mr. Texas fell on deaf ears (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=902827&viewfull=1#post902827), those "friends" of Mr. Skeptic never got it. That stuff gets shoved in my face all the time, as newbies troll the chaff out there and ask me about it, as they try to find short-cuts to understanding, so they do not have to do the hard work. There is no substitute for hard work. As the great Chomsky said, if people want to learn anything, they have to do the work. Doing the work of digesting my big essay is around 0.1% of the effort that it took to survive my journey and do the work that resulted in that essay, but those doing that work are whom I am interested in interacting with. Looking for those needles…
The subject matter of my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) is what I am interested in discussing, I set up a forum to do just that, and one day, when enough people have done the work and are courageous enough to be real people on the global stage, then the choir will begin to be built, and I have "budgeted" the rest of my life's "spare" time to building that choir, and we will see what kind of dent it will make.
Back to work.
Best,
Wade

I went off on a bit of a tangent , as the health of our Earth is at stake , on another thread today ... It belongs here IMO , Earth , the climate , the environment , etc , will heal when Earth mankind changes the way we think ... same thoughts=same results ... bad storms always hit the same areas every year ... most don't make the connection ... Thoughts/thinking patterns are just like waves in an ocean... they can be soothing or knock you over ... thoughts/thinking patterns go out into the cosmos and effect every living thing ... A severe storm hits an area , a week or a month later it hits again , the people there are thinking the same way ... changing the way you think will influence the weather you get , and in turn will influence the way Earth responds to the lifeforms walking on her ... Without a planet , EVERYTHING else is noise ... without living in balance , and thinking correctly as a whole , everything done is for not ... Plant two of the same plants , talk to one and show it love , ignore the other , and see which is Healthy and grows/evolves , and which withers and dies/does not evolve ... natures lesson in the thought patterns of human beings toward living things ... SUMMARY - Our Earth is the way it is because of our collective thought patterns , which are stuck in old ways , as everything else evolves , races towards the future , our thinking patterns remain stuck in old paradigms that have sunk prior civilizations ... Want to heal Earth ??? thoughts/thinking patterns is the key ... thought=idea=action=reaction=results - reaping what you sow -growing what is planted - the law of cause and effect ... it is said neutral positive thinking is THE way ... it's up to the individual to work through it , at their own pace , on their own terms , in their own way ... I want to change the world for the better , the road she is on , if we don't change , history will repeat without a change for the better ... at our current rate , if we don't change our thinking patterns, we have 661 more years until we get it ...

Hi:
OK, anecdote time. I am not some kind of deeply connected insider, nor do I know any, nor do I really want to know any. When so-called insiders show up to enlighten you, more likely than not, you are being led down the path. Dennis, Brian, myself, and various fellow travelers were not on the inside. We all got to experience inside stuff, but because the inside came to us, not because we sought it out. You don't find Godzilla, he finds you.
What made many of the Disclosure Project witnesses impressive are those who saw what they were not supposed to see, told to keep quiet, but could not do so, because of their conscience. There was a lot of effort to keep out pretenders and disinfo people, so a lot of that Disclosure Project testimony is pretty credible, and I have had enough experiences (as well as what my closest fellow travelers have experienced) to know that the stuff is real.
That Lovekin guy who told about what Eisenhower knew is a case of somebody on the inside who heard stuff that you don't hear unless you are around the president, etc. That brings me to an anecdote.
That co-worker who worked at the Justice Department, and who investigated the death threat made by an American automobile company (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb), died a few years ago. I will never reveal his name publicly, but in his obituary, it mentioned that when he was in the Air Force, he was a courier for the American president. I am sure that he could have told me many other tales, but his Justice Department story was plenty for me. If you work at the Justice Department and see what my co-worker did, if you want to keep your career going, you keep your head down and shut up. If you want your career over, and soon, you can go try to blow the whistle, if you survive the experience.
It takes a very special kind of person to do what Ralph McGehee did (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), for instance. His life was made a living hell for speaking out, in The Land of the Free, and I had no problem with my Justice Department friend keeping his head down and quiet, to help enlighten me many years later. The only reason that he told me was that after five years of working at my job, I stepped down and my protégé took over, and I was in a part-time role (and the people in the office remarked on how I seemed happier than ever, with a smile on my face :) ). I worked a few months in that part-time position before I went to work for Dennis again, and nearly went to prison for my trouble (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting).
I never tell my bosses in corporate America about my "other life," and it was no different at that company. That co-worker was a professional specialist at the holding company's headquarters, and we worked closely together for five years, had a lot of mutual respect, and he came by our office one day, soon after I stepped down. He came into my office to chat, wish me well, and the like. It was then that I said that I had another life, playing FE revolutionary. That was when he said, "OK, I have one to tell you." That was when he told me about that case when he worked for the Justice Department. That is not the only time when I confided to co-workers about my FE days and they responded with, "Let me tell you one," as they related an organized suppression anecdote in the energy field. That just comes with the territory. But at the office, we keep our heads down, shut up, and do our jobs. We knew that if we began to tell the office about any of it, it would jeopardize our careers. Call us chicken. :)
Those are the kinds of data points that have informed my view of the situation. Another was hearing Tom Bearden explain how organized suppression works, to realize that I had witnessed and experienced most of the dynamics that he spoke of (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden), and only a decade later did I realize that the same kind of sting operation that almost got him also almost got us. Many people dismiss Tom, his work, and revelations, but when I realized that we were almost taken out by the same kind of sting operation, I gained a lot more respect for him. I am not saying that I buy everything that Tom says, but we had Sparky Sweet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) and others in common, and Tom's reporting of events has a lot of credibility with me. Similarly, Greer, Adam, and I have people in common, and what they report as their experiences, I believe. There are not many fellow travelers that I will credit their experiences and insights pretty much as they gave them, but those are some of them.
But what my fellow travelers generally had in common was that they were not seeking out "strange" experiences, but just doing their jobs or trying to make a dent, and then they were treated to their bizarre, often harrowing, experiences and almost never as "insiders," but just those who kind of stumbled into what they saw or had it inflicted on them. If they ever made a movie out of Dennis's life's story (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), nobody would believe it, but I was there for the darkest chapters, and Dennis renders them conservatively in his books. Those experiences just come with the territory of trying to make a dent, or being in the "right" place at the right time, to investigate the death threat that an automobile company made to an inventor.
Back to work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
OK, more anecdotes, some I have never really told anybody about, which will help make the method of my madness become a little clearer. Again, I can only hit some of the highlights of my journey. When I have mentioned my salient moments (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why), they were only some of the islands that rose above a sea of such events. While in the saddle with Dennis, there was rarely a day that went by that some event did not happen that helped develop my eventually radicalized perspective. Those were larger-than-life days for me, and I do not know how Dennis does it, although when I saw him last year, he told me how: he releases all expectations of the outcome and enjoys the ride, doing his god's work. That is not an easy trick, let me tell you, when you watch what you built get repeatedly destroyed and stolen.
I'll go back to the beginning of my ride, when my grandmother told me that I had a phone call (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#call), and I interviewed with Dennis's company that afternoon. The lightning bolt hit me at that moment. I am not sure if I had yet learned to accept when my "friends" were making events happen, but I knew that something was up. My interview that afternoon was with the controller (that was his job title, for you non-accountants - I have been a controller for ten years of my career, and might spend the next ten years as one), and I bowled him over. There were no other contenders after my performance. That was on a Friday, and the next week they moved facilities, so I did not get my second interview, with Dennis and his wife, for a couple of weeks, and they hired me on the spot. Dennis later told me that I was shaking in the interview, and I clearly recall the feeling. The overwhelming magnitude of what I was getting involved with hit me before I even began working for them. I walked down the hill from my grandparent's home that evening and heard Dennis speak in front of a thousand people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#whoopee), with several camera crews filming, and I saw my future. I began working for Dennis the next morning. I still shake my head when thinking about it, as it is still hard to believe that it happened that way, and I lived it.
My job at Dennis's company was to reconstruct their records, from the bottom up, as their books were a shambles. This was before computerized accounting for small companies, and I did it with my adding machine, columnar paper, paper ledger books, checkbooks, bank statements, and contracts for the systems. That is the classic way to do it. It took three months, but I completely built their books from the source documents, using my auditor's background. I had do some of that kind of grimy work in my LA days, when I would be farmed out to clients to help reconstruct disasters. If there is any area where I am an "expert," it is walking into companies on fire and taking over, putting out the fires, putting in fire prevention, and turning it into a place of calmness, or at least as calm as it can get with companies like that.
I received one paycheck before Dennis's company stopped making payroll, and I later received a promise of stock from Dennis, as he really wanted the books in order. So, I worked for more than two months with no pay, but I was so on fire that it did not really matter to me, as I burned through my savings from my yuppie days in LA (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing). I hiked with my cousin every weekend and had the greatest hiking year of my life, and 1986 was my life's happiest year (some pics from that year are here (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm)), even though I starved for most of it and ended the year in the midst of a 45-day fast (still my life's longest), because it was cheaper than eating.
My boss, the controller, told me to tackle the reconstruction effort like an auditor would, and I did. The so-called accounting equation for a company is "assets less liabilities equals owners' equity." That means that if you value the assets and subtract the claims by those other than the owners on those assets, the remainder is what the owners own. Accounting back then used historical cost, and the profession has gotten away from that with "fair value" accounting, which is partly why there has been so much accounting fraud in the past generation, as companies like Enron (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#enron) put "fair values" on "assets" that had yet to be realized. Enron's CEO, Skilling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron#Accounting_practices), took highly aggressive stances such as when he came up with a bright idea, it had a fair value that could be recorded on the books. Today, we are in the midst of a scandal that will dwarf all others, but while everybody is madly printing money, they are temporarily wallpapering over the problems (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming), but it will end very badly.
But in the good old days, my job was to construct the records based on historical costs, and record revenues based on enforceable and collectible contracts, and record liabilities based on legitimate claims. The company was in the midst of that fraudulent bankruptcy suit that Bill the BPA Hit Man was waging (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#bk). It was a complete joke, but it was used to strangle the company in Kangaroo Court. Watching that court in action (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient2) was one of my awakening moments.
So, as I reconstructed the company's books, I got to the equity section, and wearing my auditor's hat, I asked my boss for the records that would allow me to reconstruct the equity section of the company's balance sheet. It was the standard approach. My boss said that it was his area, he had it under control, and to just focus on the rest of the books and just use the equity section as a residual (assets less liabilities). He was my boss, and I did as he told me, and did not think that anything was amiss.
As I later discovered from Dennis, he hired my boss to ensure that the stock deal that Dennis entered into (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#finance), to quickly take his company public, was properly executed. My boss ensured it, all right: he purposely did not ensure that the deal was not executed properly, and used his own negligence to steal Dennis's company from him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#theft). That was why he did not want me to peek into the equity section, as I might begin to ask embarrassing questions that would expose him. It was the first of many events that woke me up over the next four years, before I staggered out of my home town (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), radicalized.
In my naïve innocence, I really did not know quite what to think. As I saw my boss steal Dennis's company right from under him, as the employees cheered, it was my first big awakening moment (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient1). However, the controller was my boss, and I still could not quite understand what made him feel justified to engage in such blatant theft (I did not understand how he helped engineer it until months later, when I lived with Dennis in Boston (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing)). I was so naïve, and had so many hard lessons ahead of me. Because I was so friendly with my boss, even after he stole the company and Dennis left the state, he asked me to sign an affidavit to the accuracy of the company's financial statements. My naïve response was that I would be happy to testify to the truth. In the end, it did not hurt Dennis any, and I kind of got an inside view on them.
When I watched them win the bankruptcy action (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient2), and then went to their attorney's office to sign the affidavit (even with all the mayhem, Dennis's company still made a lot of money, if the customers simply paid what the systems saved them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs)), it became obvious that they were trying to resurrect the company. My boss showed me a glossy brochure that they had created for Dennis's heat pump. Carter's tax credit had expired the previous winter, which was the basis for Dennis's big play, and looking back, they were either idiots blinded by greed, or were trying to pull off a bigger scam than simply stealing the company's carcass. They saw what the electric companies did to Dennis's company. Did they think that if they played nice (whatever that meant; Dennis tried everything that he could think of to work with the electric companies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#naive), thinking that he would get a tickertape parade), that they would be allowed to survive? Even though they were criminals, who stole Mr. Financier's company (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier) from him as a way to steal Dennis's, it seemed like they were not playing the same scam game that the Mafia did when it stole Dennis's company on the East Coast (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#lamco3), but really thought that they could make a go of it. As I write this, I still have a hard time believing that they thought that way, but I know that some of them did, and maybe even my boss. Incredible, and when I pass over, maybe I will understand what they were thinking, but if they really thought that they could make a go of it in Seattle, that was an example of mindless greed. I saw dealers and others involved who were definitely in the thrall of mindless greed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#greed), and it was something to behold.
At the attorneys' offices, my boss told me that he wanted to hire me back when they got it going again. I was not naïve and stupid enough to actually consider it, but just took it all in. It was about the same time that I called Dennis in Boston, telling him that I could sleep on a floor to help him rebuild, and he tried to talk me out of it and just get a real job, and maybe one day I would hear from him again. I dutifully did so, and had an interview or two, but I could not stand it. I had been hit by the lightning, and a couple of weeks later I called Dennis again and told him to get a floor ready for me to sleep on, because I was coming out there to help him rebuild. Then Dennis said OK, and the rest is literally history.
I then moved back in with my grandparents, got a temporary job making $6 per hour, and saved up enough money to chase Dennis out to Boston (I was flat broke by that time, burning up my savings from several months of no income).
As I sit here, writing this, I still think about those times in awe. When I saw Dennis last year, I mentioned it, and he agreed, that our days in Boston were blessed days, a calm before the storm, even though they were anything but easy. Those were still innocent and happy days for me. That would all change in Ventura. More anecdotes to write later.
As an aside, I was Dennis's accountant for many years, and literally accounted for all of the money that went through his hands, especially the time period that is the focus of when people like that scientist who knowingly lied about how much money Dennis raised (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel). As I mentioned in that post yesterday (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904625&viewfull=1#post904625), who are you going to believe, Dennis's accountant who testified in court and signed an affidavit about how much money came in, or a scientist who makes up the numbers from thin air? In the FE field, that lying scientist has more credibility than I do, and is promoted to this day as perhaps the field's wisest voice. There are many other reasons why I do not want to have anything to do with today's FE energy field, but the promotion of that scientist (by people who have heard from me and should know better) is probably the most spectacular reason why. I still shake my head when I think of it. Nobody on Earth knows better than me how much money Dennis raised (I was one of his most important investors (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), after all), but some sweet-talking psychopath of a scientist writes and speaks cleverly on the issue, and he is the voice that is promoted in the field, which is another example of people not being able to distinguish the psychopaths from the saints. Every criminal that I ever saw who attacked Dennis, and that includes many public officials (if you commit crimes for the evil establishment, you can count on a successful career), made the same accusations that Dennis somehow skimmed off a bunch of money and got rich. They all tell the same lies, and repeat them in some kind of echo chamber, apparently thinking that if they lie loud enough and long enough, that it somehow becomes the truth, or their dupes at least think so.

Hello again.
Just wanted to hop on and mention something that I am reminded of sometimes when you refer to Godzilla and how it should be treated as a side-effect or symptom of our current condition. It's one of my favorite sections from the Law of One where they were talking about a negative entity from the Orion area trying to disrupt the channeling sessions, as it was probably pretty obvious how influential the material from the sessions could be to us.
The negative entity was trying to "offer" to the group, the "opportunity" to have the main channel get killed, which of course the group lovingly chose to reject, and in turn decided to "offer" their love and light back to the negative entity, which also chose to reject the return offer.
"67.26 Questioner: Then there is no other service that we can at this time offer that fifth-density entity of the Orion group who is so constantly with us. As I see it now there is nothing that we can do for him from your point of view? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. There is great humor in your attempt to be of polarized service to the opposite polarity. There is a natural difficulty in doing so since what you consider service is considered by this entity non-service. As you send this entity love and light and wish it well it loses its polarity and needs to regroup.
Thus it would not consider your service as such. On the other hand, if you allowed it to be of service by removing this instrument from your midst you might perhaps perceive this as not being of service. You have here a balanced and polarized view of the Creator; two services offered, mutually rejected, and in a state of equilibrium in which free will is preserved and each allowed to go upon its own path of experiencing the One Infinite Creator.
67.27 Questioner: Thank you. In closing that part of the discussion I would just say that if there is anything that we can do that is within our ability— and I understand that there are many things such as the ones that you just mentioned that are not within our ability— that we could do for this particular entity, if you would in the future communicate its requests to us we will at least consider them because we would like to serve in every respect. Is this agreeable to you?
Ra: I am Ra. We perceive that we have not been able to clarify your service versus its desire for service. You need, in our humble opinion, to look at the humor of the situation and relinquish your desire to serve where no service is requested. The magnet will attract or repel. Glory in the strength of your polarization and allow others of opposite polarity to similarly do so, seeing the great humor of this polarity and its complications in view of the unification in sixth density of these two paths."
Once you get familiar with the way of speaking in this material, and what a lot of the terms mean, then this does become a pretty humorous thing, when it's thought of in this way.

Hi Seeker:
The Ra Material is great stuff (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#ra). When I lived in Ohio, I had a chance to meet Carla, but something came up and I didn't (she was coming to speak at a friend's home, as I recall). I would have to say that I groove to a lot of Ra's message that came through that little group, but it did not influence how I saw Godzilla back in my FE days. When the dust settled in Ventura, I had not yet encountered Ra, as my "channeled" orientation was pretty much just Seth, but I realized that the enemy really was us, not Godzilla.
Most failed FE attempts never had any organized suppression directed at them, especially from Godzilla, but they either never had anything or fell victim to their own foibles. And when they garnered some success and potential, then they came on Godzilla's radar (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic), but usually just monitoring, and there was rarely any overt intervention needed, as the efforts easily self-destructed. We make Godzilla's job so easy for him. :)
So, yes indeed, there can be humor in that kind of symmetry. I realize that I am advocating a world in which Godzilla is obsolete, as he is in that Roads world (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1). One way to see it is that the Big G will have to find a new planet, but another is that he just rules those highly negative realities (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roadsblade), in which he has even more influence than in our current reality.
I will say this, however, in that focusing on Godzilla and thinking that he is the root of our problems is victim-oriented and not productive for making FE happen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). We have to approach the issue as creators if we are going to succeed, and creators create with love.
Best,
Wade

The apparent polarity between scarcity and abundance seems to be very similar to that of fear and love in that one is not the opposite of the other since the former is just the lack of the latter.
Godzilla, as i perceive it, is the phantom of scarcity manifest.
Whilst such a manifestation takes on a very tangible, palpable identity within the scarcity framework which supports its existence, it will melt away once the concept of abundance is sufficiently visualized by a critical mass (choir) who recognize love as the creative force.
Too idealistic? Maybe…..just trying to hit a few notes with rusty vocal chords at the moment.

One could say that "tilting" at Godzilla is not an action that is characteristic of the choir's polarity. May your "choir" some day glory in the strength of its own polarity. Heaven knows, Godzilla certainly seems able to glory in the strength of his.
But enough of him.

Hi:
I have some pretty big posts coming, but have been busy today. I won't get any of them done tonight, but let me expand a little on some recent posts and other correspondence.
First, my journey made me realize the wisdom of Seth's dictum (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist) of the means becoming the ends. I went in thinking that way, and my years with Dennis only confirmed it, and also it has informed how I am going about the remainder of my life's work, writing that essay and trying to amass a choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). It ultimately is about "doing something," but until we can get aligned with what it will take, there really is no point in even trying, as the FE pursuit is the most harrowing one on Earth. A stampede of sentient lambs I know can do it, and if it reaches that 5,000-to-7,000 that attracts that 100,000 or so, then the risk to any of one of us will be minimal. I am trying to make this a No Martyr Zone. :)
I am one battered soldier, and not only do not wish my journey on anybody else, but I am trying to do something so that that kind of trial by fire is not necessary. Again, somebody has to have some kind of awakening experience (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800) in order to really begin to understand my message, but it does not have to be on the FE battlefield. Few survive that terrain for long. I think that there are gentler ways to wake up, although few would describe my work as "gentle." My original site was pretty harrowing stuff, and I witnessed "peers" having total meltdowns after reading only a few pages, such as this section (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress). My big essay is a much gentler reading experience, although a deep one. Nobody is going to skim that essay and get much out of it. It requires deep thinking with the heart in the right place, to really begin to "get it." I designed it that way, to make it a pretty high bar for somebody to get over, as the usual FE approaches have not worked and are unlikely to (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). It could be a high courage or a high sentience approach, but I only know of one person on Earth like this (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), and one cannot get it done. I have had to mop up the blood from the courageous approach more than once, and do not want to do that again. But I am requiring some courage, such as real names and faces, to make the community as "virtual" as possible, and for anybody who is really part of the choir as it begins to move those mountains through a harmonic effect, he/she will see that that is a trifling requirement, kind of a minimum standard of courage that really is not enough, but it gives somebody a hint of what will be needed.
The energy and consciousness issue (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#consciousness) is central to that big essay, and if I may be so bold, I will venture my ideas on what this is all about. All of creation is a manifestation of consciousness, and love is the energy of creation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). Past this plane of duality, they are seen as aspects of the same thing. I have seen it called healing the heart-mind split, but we really cannot see it from here.
Whether we are here because we "fell (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#tale)" or not, every single atom in the physical universe is participating in the energy and consciousness game, and everything has both. Raising the consciousness to higher levels is the entire point of physical reality. Our awareness is all that we take with us when we die, and that is the gold of our journeys. On a limited arena like Earth, the blessings of what we call life forms, as well as the harrowing process of living and dying, is what the consciousness behind all life on Earth came here to experience.
As the story of life on Earth progressed, as told today by orthodox scientists (and I respect their process and findings), after about four billion years of Earth's existence, complex life that could be seen with the naked eye first appeared (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals). The first brain likely first appeared in the first worm (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worms), and a new way to play the consciousness game was invented (at least on this planet, but common enough in our galaxy). I pose the question in my essay of whether there was love among the trilobites (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#trilobite1), but I certainly could not answer that in any way that would convince anybody, so I leave it open.
But today's scientists, who observe animal and plant behavior, note that almost no organism is not entirely preoccupied with getting enough energy and avoiding becoming an energy source for another life form before reproducing. It is the game of life (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#liferequirements). Any species that did not play that game to the best of its ability went extinct, and even then nearly all species have already gone extinct (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinction).
Neural tissue is an energy hog, and increasing brain size, called encephalization (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#encephalization), can be seen beginning fairly early on, and the Permian extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction) temporarily halted the process, which began again after the extinction. Mammals had relatively large brains from the beginning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsdevelop), and some dinosaurs were significantly encephalized, mainly predators, as predators often had to outsmart their prey.
Primates had relatively large brains for mammals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#intelligence), likely related to their arboreal environment, which took new sensory inputs and talent to navigate. But the reward had to be worth the cost, or those brains would not have developed. This eventually led to humans, but it was a long, strange path to get there. Chimpanzees are generally considered the smartest animals on Earth after humans, and it is easy to see why (although I really wonder about our cetacean pals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#dolphins)). But humans took those "smarts" to new levels, obviously. The human brain is comparatively gigantic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain) and obviously has a lot to do with our "smarts." As I have written, chimps are the only other animal known to form hunting parties to kill members of their own species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary). Living in chimp society is not pleasant, nor is it for gorillas or orangs, as they all face the rigors of living, male sexual coercion of females, and inter-male violence as they vie for sexual access to females (orangs can fight but do not kill infants, but non-dominant orangs rape females whenever they can). In chimp and gorilla societies, males will kill infants they did not father (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#infanticide1) in order to mate with the mother, which humans can barely comprehend. That is nature at work, and many species commit similar acts. But when the bonobos' food supply doubled (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1), the females and non-dominant males ended the practice of male gangs ruling their societies, and their societies are radically different than chimps'. Actually, I can see plenty of humans that might want to sign up for bonobo life for a while. :)
Anyway, that is all "natural," and part of our human heritage. What is the role of consciousness and energy for those creatures? It seems like the same game as ever, but more sophisticated, and bonobos took advantage of an economic windfall to radically restructure their societies and even bonobo consciousness.
It looks like that path to humanity from chimps was the normal one, in that "loser" chimps were forced out of their homes due to a shrinking energy supply (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit), and found the opportunities that led to humans, which were always primarily about energy. And here we are today, several Epochal Events removed from chimps. Every one of those Epochal Events was an energy event, first and foremost. For that first one, it literally led to the human species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1). For the human events, they were all energy events, and the radical cognitive and social changes came as a result of the event, not caused by it. For each event, it happened as a result of necessity and opportunity, just as with all the major changes in the journey of life on Earth, and while those inventors of each event seem to have been unique for their time, they were all also in the right place at the right time, and none of them had any idea of what their breakthrough would lead to (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). In very real ways, that is just a macro-version of any human life. If you had told me what I was in for when I got my first energy dreams at age 16 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction), I would not have believed any of it. My experiences may seem "extreme," and they certainly were way larger than life, but all people have similar experiences in that they cannot see what lies ahead.
The study of the journey of life on Earth has led scientists to see where we are heading, and fast, and the view terrifies them, for good reason (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). So, are humans really a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1)? Good question. We have big brains and seem smart, but is that what sentience really means? Where is that line drawn? A fair number of species pass the mirror test (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mirrortest), so have a sense of self.
These are big issues, probably the biggest on Earth. But what I found was that each human epochal event was an energy event initiated by a handful of people who were either extraordinary, in extraordinary circumstances, or both. Dennis and Brian are/were incredible people, and my FE fellow travelers make for quite a collection of extraordinary people. And this is likely the time when humanity gets over the hump or doesn’t, as Michael (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3) and others have observed, and it will be all about energy and sentience, as they are joined at the hip, always.
There have been plenty of Godzilla observations lately, and he represents the principle of power and control run amok. He only runs the show because 99.99% of humanity is fast asleep and egocentrically focused. My goal is to only help 0.0001% of humanity, who is already awake or awakening, learn to sing the song (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) that I have to teach. And like Jericho's walls crumbling, Godzilla's Citadel can crumble from the simple sound of the song, but he can awaken to a new reality like the rest of us. As Seeker noted (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905175&viewfull=1#post905175), many in Godzilla's ranks will likely not want to play the light and love game, and many of his members will likely seek easier prey, in other realities or on other planets, but most actually would like to end the Godzilla Game (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal), and the dark path is not forever (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#love). But it will do no good to force it (that will certainly backfire), which is why I am taking the lamb's path. Make no mistake, manifesting FE and abundance is my goal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), but once again, the means become the ends. :)
Signing off for the night.
Best,
Wade

Wade,
You preach revolt! ;)
Your revolt is a peaceful one and a most productive one....
and most messages of this nature get censored....
and a quote from you....
"It looks like that path to humanity from chimps was the normal one, in that "loser" chimps were forced out of their homes due to a shrinking energy supply, and found the opportunities that led to humans, which were always primarily about energy.

In very real ways, that is just a macro-version of any human life."
It seems that everything is to be decided now...however with an old earth theory one would think that there is a bit of time.. ....
However, many swore an oath to protect from enemies from both within and without and so the enemies are within and what you are saying that another way must be found....
Thomas Jefferson once said that we need a revolt every twenty years or so to purge the system....
In my opinion ....Bureaucracy is a living organism living a process of finding energy and avoiding a predator of energy and most importantly procreating.....
And so dearest Wade have you noticed how the Bureaucracy is getting bigger as we keep observing?
The bureaucratic process seems to center around Oil and the burning of hydro carbons.....
Some would call this the New World Order or some such.....or like how a one celled organism functions....
In a scientific rendering of my opinion it would seem this life- form has no sentience whatsoever.....
And so retail politics as you talk about Wade is a symptom of a process that few if any understand....
How do you combat a process once started?
The Political Process?
And the grand irony of it all is that we control the process....
What is logistics? The study of movement....or moving things from point A to B....Or....B to A....
Or the study of someones mind as or who would tell something to be moved from B to A or A to B....
And all of it needs energy and free energy would change absolutely everything....
thanx Wade...

Hi Nine:
Quickly, in a world of energy scarcity, all organisms and human organizations are constantly trying to maximize their energy at the expense of others. I do not care if it is trees, grazing herds, nations, empires, or bureaucracies. If energy was truly abundant, at least humans would no longer be so obsessed with "getting theirs" and organizational survival. As my work shows, profound changes in the human journey attended each epochal event. From the appearance of humanity with the first event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1) to conquering Earth in the second event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) to a 200-fold increase in the human population in the third event and what we call civilization (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) to an unprecedented standard of living increase with the fourth event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4). The fifth event will dwarf all that came before (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and humanity will live in absolute abundance for the first time and will become a space-faring species. The social changes will be so profound (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) that almost nobody can even imagine them today, but nobody could imagine what the previous Epochal Events brought (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), either.
The path that humanity is heading down is obvious to anybody whose eyes are the slightest bit open (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), but there is also a way away from the abyss which humanity is current about to fall into. The point of my work is showing the few who can see it, and to help them learn to sing about it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). They will not reach the masses, but they will reach other vanishingly rare people who came here, at this time, to hear that song. That group can manifest the technology that will bring the Fifth Epochal Event into being, and when that happens, my life's work will be complete. :)
The fun will probably only begin then, but we will have stepped away from the edge of the abyss, and that will be good enough for me, and the rest will be gravy. For those who care to go there, futures can come into view (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions) that few dare to even imagine today, but they will become feasible with abundant and harmlessly produced energy.
Back to a big post that I am working on.

Hi:
As I have mentioned plenty, people with inventor-itis (almost always men, but not always) think that tinkering in their garages is the path to FE. Most of them never come up with anything, but for the few who do, the fun just begins. What is still the most impressive garage inventor tale that I know of is Sparky Sweet's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), and if you buy Tom Bearden's video, you can see Sparky's gizmo literally being demonstrated in a room in his home. You can also see a "proprietary technology" message appear on the screen several times, which highlights the problems with inventors. I have never encountered an inventor with the right stuff, who both had the goods and was willing to give them away – but there is also no group today worthy to give it to, which is part of the problem. You can read Sparky's and Tom's papers written on the subject (http://www.rexresearch.com/sweet/1nothing.htm). Lots of nice theory there, but it would not mean much in the absence of working technology. Sparky had the goods, and suffered greatly for it. Sparky, like Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#naive), originally believed the fairy tales of American nationalism and capitalism, and he mailed working prototypes to the big energy institutions, both commercial and governmental, expecting to get the tickertape parade, and the opposite happened. After the final death threats, Sparky fled into hiding in the desert, where Brian visited him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky), and Sparky was dead a week later of a "heart attack." That is how the real world of FE inventing works, but people with inventor-itis are unwilling or incapable of understanding it, as they are bedazzled with visions of riches and fame or laboring under highly naïve notions of how the world really works.
I have made threads at Avalon so that people can discuss FE physics, but as you can see, those are moribund threads (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?14129-Free-Energy-Physics&p=138564&viewfull=1#post138564). All that happens is people chatter about Rossi, Keshe, Steorn, and the like, thinking that they have a prayer in the current environment, and when Keshe announced that he was the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), that was really par for the course for people with inventor-itis.
What is a far easier exercise is understanding the physics and economics behind Dennis's heat pump, especially as he repeatedly made a run at it in the 1980s. I have never seen anybody engage in an intelligent, honest, and informed discussion of that situation. As I have written plenty, Dennis's innumerable assailants ignore those activities as if they never happened and instead make up lies about them (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904625&viewfull=1#post904625), which are endlessly repeated by those in the FE field, both newbies and veterans, which is partly why I do not want to have anything to do with today's FE field.
To back up and give it some historical context, the USA is the greatest energy-using nation ever. Today, China uses more energy, but its population is four times as great as the USA's, so the Chinese standard of living is far lower than the USA's. China is going through its Gilded Age right now, and anybody who strikes it rich it in China wants to leave, usually by going to the West, and the USA is always the primary destination, if they can get in.
The English stumbled into the richest continent on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english) and began plundering it with abandon, which their nascent industrial methods (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#uk) excelled at. Eastern North America was quickly deforested by the British and their American descendants, in history's most spectacular deforestation. When the trees were gone, just like in England, Americans turned to coal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#newengland), and a century later, they turned to oil (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oilwell), and history's greatest fortunes were made (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1). It all rode on the back of exploiting energy resources.
American energy consumption kept galloping along in the 20th century, and when the USA prevailed in two imperial wars for global domination (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sitting), the USA experienced the most prosperous era in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar). Energy consumption per capital in the USA doubled during the boom, but it only lasted for about a generation, and I was born in the middle of it. It ended with the first energy crisis, a few years after American oil production peaked (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), and the American standard of living has declined ever since (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline). Today, like fighting over the lifeboats on the Titanic, there is a global class war between the capital and working classes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#racetobottom), as humanity races toward the abyss, as most are oblivious to it, seeing no further than their immediate self-interest. The system encourages that egocentric myopia, taking pages from Orwell's and Huxley's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell) work.
So, until the postwar boom ended, Americans did not insulate their homes, as energy was so cheap. When Carter became president, he retreaded Brian's plan written during his politically active days (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall) and declared a war on energy, installed solar panels on the White House's roof, and offered a tax credit for renewable energy technologies. At that same time, my first professional mentor's engine was making waves in the American government (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). They calculated that a mail truck would get about 200 miles per gallon. That was when I got my first energy dreams. At the same time, a Colorado cowboy stumbled onto a new kind of heating system (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), in which the evaporator was huge and placed in the sunshine. At the same time, Dennis had his first business destroyed in the energy crisis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#builders), like so many other businesses did. While the USA suffered from the energy crisis, the national economies of developing nations were devastated (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#reagan) and many never recovered.
When Dennis was in college, he sold aluminum siding for Sears (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=628894&viewfull=1#post628894) and made more money than his university's president. That was the last time that he worked as an employee. After his construction business was wiped out, Dennis developed a plan to give consumers a voice in the marketplace (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#ucs). He became a Christian in those days and wedded it to his utopian philosophy. After trying to give his company away to the Christian community, he got involved with energy conservation, beginning with low-flow shower heads, but he soon graduated to home insulation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#foam). The USA soon learned the virtues of insulation. Dennis is a genius of the likes that I have rarely encountered, and as an unschooled entrepreneur, he began to industrialize the insulation business, which led to snuff jobs from the competition, numerous attempts to steal his businesses (which often worked back then, before Dennis wised up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked)), the Mafia muscling in, etc.
Dennis's adventures in those days are actually hard to believe, but he was earning his Indiana Jones credentials. After nearly dying due to disease and hospital negligence (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#va), Dennis literally stumbled into that cowboy's heat pump (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#lamco2). Just like he saw in the insulation business, that heat pump was going nowhere, in the state of arrested development that prevailed (similar to the FE field today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested)). Dennis quickly became the biggest thing to ever hit that industry, which led to murder attempts, the Mafia muscling in, his companies being stolen – the usual.
Meanwhile in Dennis's home state of Washington, which had Earth's lowest energy bills because of all of its hydroelectric projects, they were having their own energy disaster, with an ill-advised attempt to build nuclear reactors, which turned into the biggest municipal bond default in America history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#whoops).
I go into the physics and economics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) of Dennis's heat pump on my site, and do not need to belabor it here, but because Washington was an all-electric state, which meant that most homes and businesses heated with electricity, an unprecedented opportunity awaited in Dennis's home state. He could not sell energy conversation equipment where the world's cheapest energy was, but in the wake of that bond disaster, and with the electric companies running full-page ads encouraging conservation, Dennis thought that they would love a heating system that would save those all-electric customers 80% and more of their heating bills. Dennis reckoned incorrectly; that was far more conservation than the electric companies had in mind. But Dennis made a run at it in 1984-1986, which is the greatest attempt ever made to bring alternative energy technology to market in the USA. His company was wiped out with extreme prejudice (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run), and that voice in my head led me straight into his company (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), and I got to experience its death throes before my boss helped engineer its theft (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042). And the rest is history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit).
I went to business school, and if you get an MBA, you experience even more of what I did to get my bachelor's degree, as you study real-world business scenarios and have mock business exercises. Today, companies like Apple and other success stories are studied, or how Detroit fell on its sword. If they made a case study out of Dennis's adventures with that heat pump, it would be about the most educational one that could be had. The confluence of that moment of peak energy and a genius who had a breakthrough technology and industrialized the processes and tried to build an industry around it would be an incredible learning experience, but would also work at cross-purposes with business school indoctrination, as it would expose the fraudulent nature of capitalism. Forget even our subsequent free energy adventures (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), when Godzilla finally got active, just that heat pump alone is an incredible case study in how the real world works, not the business school version.
That heat pump is still the best heating system that has ever been on the world market, but because of insulation and the end of the tax credit the business opportunity is not as extraordinary as it was in the late-1970 and early 1980s. I have never seen any worthy discussion of the incredible run that Dennis made at it. The energy establishment and its minions either act as if it never happened or they tell Big Lies about it all. That is expected, but what initially blew me away was how the big names in the FE field also made up Big Lies about Dennis (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904625&viewfull=1#post904625), about those very days when he made a run at it. I don’t know what a good analogy would be, but I suppose that it would be like telling Jesus's story as a man who was set on destroying the churches of day and being rightfully executed for his many crimes, while there was complete silence about his "miraculous" works and message. As I have written, I used to be disgusted, but anymore I am just kind of amused, but I hear no end of people promoting the libels against Dennis, and received another dose of it recently (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904625&viewfull=1#post904625).

Hi:
This series of anecdotal posts is going to conclude with why I am taking the approach that I am.
To continue from the last post, it was in the last month or so of the Seattle operation that Dennis heard of Joe Newman (yet another FE inventor who thinks that he is the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur)), which was the first time that I ever heard of FE, and I think that it was Dennis's first time.
The next month, the company was stolen and Dennis hurriedly left the state, expecting to be arrested for anything. Dennis received so many death threats that he had a bodyguard when I began to work for him, who appeared when Dennis engaged the public. By the time the company was stolen, I was sold on Dennis, and really did not even know how the heat pump worked. I was still reverberating from the lightning strike. Dennis could not get rid of me, as I chased him to Boston (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042). The day after I arrived, Dennis and I met with a company that made electricity from hot water, and that is when Dennis began thinking in terms of FE.
A couple of months later, I rescued us by raising the money to get us going again, and improbably became Dennis's partner. That was the furthest thing from my mind when I chased him to Boston. Then my wild ride began.
In Seattle, the electric companies sicced Bill the BPA Hit Man on Dennis, and when he was responsible for a woman's death (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), that was Dennis's first radicalizing moment in his energy adventures, nearly a decade into those adventures. Bill was a Godzilla asset and began developing his fake alternative energy credentials many years before he was sicced on Dennis. Just when he went on Godzilla's payroll is hard to know. There are many levels of the organized suppression (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) game. Godzilla's turf is merely the major leagues.
A couple of months after I raised the money to get us going, we got the first offer that was definitely a Godzilla offer; it was the garden-variety $10 million offer to make us go away (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten). I would have been an instant millionaire, but that was not our goal. I began to get attacked by my investors around the same time, and began losing innocence by the bucketful. It was also then that I faced my possible death and I had fleeting delusions of grandeur. It just comes with the magnitude of the FE chase, and everybody has to face it if they get involved. Newman and Keshe are just a couple of the many who succumbed to the temptations and rigors. But you do not get Godzilla's attention unless you really have something, like Sparky did, or you actually bring disruptive energy technology to market, like Dennis did with his heat pump. "Disruptive" means market disruption, when the new technology erodes the revenues and profits of those selling the old technology. Apple's iPhone, for instance, disrupted the smart phone market and just about drove Nokia and RIM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_Limited) out of business. I was in the field back then, and when Apple came to the party, the writing was on the wall. As I will get to soon, high tech is still innocent, as upstarts can disrupt markets (even though Microsoft played very dirty, such as with Netscape). That is not allowed to happen in energy and medicine, for instance, as they have the suppression game down to a science.
We made waves in Boston, stumbling into the middle of another energy controversy, with nuclear energy once again the trigger (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#seabrook), and the local electric interests were about to drop the ax on us once again (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#middlesex), but the money and connections that I tied into, in my home town of Ventura, had us move away before they could strike. It would take weeks to relate what I had learned so far on my journey with Dennis just in Boston, but it was about to reach new levels when we moved our company to Ventura in June 1987 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr). It was not my idea to move to Ventura, but I was the reason why.
Dennis started playing the "FE or Bust" game in Boston, and really kept playing it until he got involved with high-MPG carburetors around 2006 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872). In Ventura, we connected with technologies that might have made our FE dreams a reality, but I really think that what made us dangerous was Dennis's talent and persistence, the nucleus that formed around us in Ventura, people like Sparky Sweet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sweet) living just down the road from us, and a parade of people approaching us with their technologies. I really did not like the idea of selling information kits and wanted us to sell the heat pump, but Dennis ran the show. And then, of course, we had the boom lowered on us, and Godzilla made his second offer, through the CIA, for us to take around $1 billion to disappear (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer). I was having a stress breakdown about that time, and never even heard of the offer until I heard Dennis publicly talk about it nearly a decade later. The offer was not surprising, nor was it surprising that he did not tell me of it. I would not have been tempted (I think! :) ), but I wanted out. 1988 was the worst year of my life, by far, and ended with me wanting to kill people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it), Dennis in solitary confinement (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#solitary), people in hiding, and other joys. I had my face rubbed in evil (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces), and it inspired me to sacrifice my life (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage) to give Dennis a slim chance to life on this side of the bars again. It worked, in the greatest miracle that I ever witnessed, but my life was ruined by the events of 1988. Going bankrupt was the least of my problems, and people such as my mother taking her "my son the crook (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=300436&viewfull=1#post300436)" scrapbook around to my friends, family, and investors was not even a nuisance, with what I was living through.
When we incredibly busted Dennis out of jail, he went right back at it harder than before. I was awestruck, but really was not interested in the businessman's path to FE anymore. I saw how rigged the entire system was. Only Indiana Jones types like Dennis have any business trying. That is why when I hear about Rossi, Keshe, Steorn, and the other usual suspects these days, I have to work at not laughing. None of them has even gotten on the playing field yet, and all act like they are near the finish line. When they begin to put disruptive energy technology on the market, then class will begin.
Dennis made the best and most persistent attempts that I know of, and if he can’t make a dent, I do not know who can. Again, his adventures should be the case study that all FE newbies study, to shed as many of their beginners' delusions as possible, but as I have written many times, today's field either ignores him or lies about him (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905489&viewfull=1#post905489), with very few exceptions, while they promote Dennis's libelers, inventors who think they are the Messiah, etc.
Ultimately, FE is a technical project. It has been achieved since before I was born (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), along with antigravity, but I will attempt to mount an independent effort, and it will not take the many doomed approaches that I have seen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). More on that later.

Hi:
After I helped bust Dennis out of jail, I was done playing FE revolutionary, but Dennis kept trying to get me back in the saddle with him. For the next eight years, I dug out of the debt that I went into to rescue him, got married and put my wife through graduate school, picked up the pieces of my shattered life (having children and owning my own home was now out of the question), and spent all of my "spare" time figuring out why the world worked so starkly differently than I was taught that it did (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books). Ever since, a pile of books has been next to my bed, and I built a 2,000 book library, as well as periodicals, etc. Without my radicalization, I doubt that I would have much worth saying. I am a learning junkie, however, and dove deeply. That study resulted in my 1996 website, how I met Ralph McGehee (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), and was just before I went to work for Dennis again. I probably should not have.
I shouldered a pretty heavy burden at my job (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes), and stepped down, burned out, in June 1996. Right after I stepped down, I had that conversation with my Justice Department buddy (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904660&viewfull=1#post904660). Dennis was flying high doing his barnstorming, and began his second tour that summer. In February of 1996, Dennis came through Columbus on his first tour, and I saw it after work and brought my protégé with me. I was blown away by the crowd (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=675984&viewfull=1#post675984), and I'll take that memory of that Amish group to my grave. Dennis did a show in Cleveland over that summer on his second tour, when he was promoting Yull Brown (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull), and that is where first heard him mention Godzilla's billion dollar bribe delivered by the CIA (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer).
Dennis and his family lived with Mr. Professor for years, and Mr. Professor wrecked his life trying to help Dennis rebuild, not only going bankrupt but having a health disaster that shortened his life (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey). Witnessing that may have been the hardest part of my journey. Soon after I began my job in Ohio, Dennis flew me out to Las Vegas to a conference where he was taking the Madison Avenue route to FE, and I witnessed one more effort to steal his company, in another larger-than-life situation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#steal).
But for all the heroic acts that Dennis took, I had a hard time believing that any of it would succeed or be allowed to. On my own journey, I reached out to people such as Noam Chomsky, became a fan of Brian's work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#miracle), and began my writing "career." Dennis finally coaxed me back into working for him in November 1996, but I did not last long and later discovered that I nearly went to prison for my trouble, as Godzilla raised the game to new levels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting). But that last stint with Dennis finally disabused me of that my final delusion, which was that inventors really cared about anything other than getting rich and famous. Yull and Fischer were prominent players in my final realization, but a string of inventors came and went. Dennis build three inventors' sanctuaries in three different states over the years, all were criminally violated, and most inventors in those sanctuaries betrayed Dennis before it was over, nearly always by taking the money and running.
It was all very sobering, and I never again believed that the businessman's route to FE had a prayer. I came home to Seattle and took four years off over the next six and wrote the site that I completed in 2002. I let Brian recruit me into helping found NEM in 2003 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), just before I resumed my career. That was another disaster, Mallove's murder aside (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), and my wife was glad that I finally got it out of my system. I decided that the next effort that I got involved in would be mine. Brian and Dennis still came back into my life years later, trying to get me to sign up with them again, but other than helping Brian out a little (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro), I declined their offers. Others tried to get me to sign up with their efforts, but it was like I had been through the Pacific Campaigns, seeing action in Okinawa and Peleliu (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#sledge), and those newbies were like kids right out of boot camp, pining for battle to prove their manhood. They did not understand that I was done with that part of my life, and I did not know what good it did other than lead to piles of martyred corpses.
I have not yet gotten to why I am taking my approach, but am showing what approaches I was no longer interested in. Tomorrow, I will write about how I came to my current approach and why.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
A little more on what I found did not work before I decided what might. I have mentioned it plenty, that Dennis and Brian drank the red-white-and-blue Kool-Aid from their cradles. All Americans do, but Dennis and Brian got extra doses and especially liked the taste. Brian did it as an urban middle-class kid born during World War II (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early), and Dennis was born right after the war in a migrant farmworker family (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis). Americans were and are steeped in American mythology (AKA "lies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm)") from the cradle. In Brian's last book, he devoted a chapter to his "codependent" relationship with Washington, D.C (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early). Brian was overawed by the presidential monuments in D.C. as a teenager, became an Eagle Scout, and then an astronaut. It does not get much more red, white, and blue than that. When Dennis was in the army, he actually got in fistfights with fellow soldiers if they disparaged the USA.
Brian advised presidential candidates (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall) and played the D.C. game, on and off, for his entire life. Mallove's murder (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland) "inspired" Brian to leave the USA and live the rest of his life in South America, and when he spoke in front of the White House in 2006 (http://www.brianoleary.info/Return%20To%20Washington%20v2.html), he thought that he was risking his life. A few years before he died, Brian told me that retail politics in the USA was a dead end.
Dennis had his first awakening moment (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice) when he realized that the American nationalism that he was raised with was a fairy tale. But he still believed in the American ideal, and while he did not live in D.C. like Brian did, he was continually playing the "Mr. Smith goes to Washington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Smith_Goes_to_Washington)" game. When Carter's tax credit existed, Dennis went to IRS hearings and got himself appointed to a committee of one to suggest performance requirements for the equipment, as most solar systems were scams. Dennis held numerous shows in D.C. and invited Capitol Hill to them. The FBI, CIA, Justice Department, and others know all about Dennis, and the USA's attorney general called him "squeaky clean (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#squeaky)."
Dennis kept pounding on the establishment's door, whether it was the electric companies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle1), Washington D.C., Wall Street (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#billion), and so on. Dennis's last act in D.C. was to make an exhibit at an energy show (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872) that had the sitting president's eyes bugging out. The federal government soon ran him out of the country, soon after one of Earth's greatest energy moguls contacted Dennis at home about the full-page ad that he was about to run in a national newspaper for 100 MPG carburetors (yes, they work, and have been around for a century (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb1)).
Dennis tried working with the Department of Energy early and often. The head of the DOE for New England came to one of our first shows in Boston, and our first show was held where the Boston Tea Party was planned (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum). The DOE officials that I encountered reminded me of college professors, and some may have been at one time. When Dennis and I spoke at DOE hearings about the nuclear waste issue, the friendly DOE official who ran the hearings nicely told us, "Hey, we are owned by corporate America (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull), so I cannot help you much unless you make them rich in the process." When Brian had me help him write that proposal for the DOE (http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html), I really wondered what he thought that we would accomplish.
So, Dennis and Brian were anything but "rebels," and they approached the establishment at every turn, and both were run out of the country for their troubles. Both nearly died at the hands of the establishment, even putting aside the outright murder attempts that Dennis survived. Brian's life was shortened by a health disaster the day after he rejected an "offer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack)" from the USA's military to do classified UFO work. After Dennis was kangarooed into prison for failing to file a form, prison officials repeatedly put him in position to be murdered (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), and Dennis got "lucky" and only had some fingers broken and teeth knocked out.
Dennis and Brian knew full well how evil the military was, and Dennis tried to talk a scoffing Stan Meyer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#_edn2) out of working with the Pentagon. Stan died while having lunch with a couple of NATO officials. Brian was beside himself when some FE newbies associated with him began banging on the Pentagon's door for help in making FE happen.
I helped Dennis approach corporate America (Fortune 500 level), the federal government, and other establishment institutions, and helped Brian with the same. I saw both Dennis and Brian approach the "fat cats," or have the fat cats approach them, and I never heard of them part with a dollar. So-called philanthropy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy1) is a huge racket.
After several years of playing the Paul Revere of FE, trying to interest the biggest names in science, energy, and environmentalism in FE, Brian openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). What initially blows FE activists away is how environmentalists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists) treat FE as the enemy. Peak Oilers bang the drums of doom, and even those who say that they are interested in FE really aren't (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#heinberg), and once again treat it like the enemy, and their prescription for "success" is a 90% depopulation of Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity).
Basically, every single avenue to the rich and powerful, or "progressives, to get FE help, is a dead end. I have tried to reach the "left" for more than 20 years, unsuccessfully, and I had the ear of its biggest names. Brian did too, to no avail. Every high-level FE activist will tell you how their journey caused friction and even ostracism in their social circles, including family members. Dennis's wife's parents treated Dennis like some bum who never wanted to have a real job. Brian was ostracized by his family, and when I told him how it went with my family, he told me to join the club. I don't need to go into chapter and verse regarding my experiences (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=300436&viewfull=1#post300436), do I? :)
Anybody looking for allies in the FE effort, in their social circles, among society's institutions, among the rich and powerful, among "progressives," and so on, is going to be disappointed and find what a waste of time their efforts were, if not life-risking, but I have yet to see an FE newby who does not immediately think that those avenues hold promise. FE has no allies and all enemies, in a sea of indifference amongst the masses. And the great irony is that FE technology is older than I am (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground).
That is the reality on Earth today, and the sooner that FE newbies can shed their delusions, the better. I have written for years that those avenues are not only dead ends (government), but are another way of playing the victim game and looking for shortcuts. We give our power away when we do that (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1).
So, if those are all dead ends, then what? That will be the subject of my next post.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
OK, here is why I am taking the approach that I am. I have written about how I progressed through the FE levels of awareness. I began as a Level 0 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0) until I heard of Joe Newman (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905620&viewfull=1#post905620). I had the inventor's perspective from the beginning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), but it was not about FE, but just wringing more energy out of a gallon of gasoline.
Then that voice in my head (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) changed my studies from science to business. When I chased Dennis to Boston (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), it still was not about FE, but resurrecting his heat pump business. It was only the day after I arrived in Boston that Dennis began thinking in terms of FE. Immediately, Dennis tried marrying a populist approach to his business approach. I did not see that in Seattle, and it was new to me, but I rode with it. Dennis had the belief that the masses really cared, but had nothing worth caring about. In my naïveté, I believed him. We were both rudely disabused of that notion in the coming years, and a decade later, Dennis admitted to me that almost nobody cared, but he was sifting through the mine tailings of humanity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings), looking for golden nuggets. He almost never found any.
Dennis's business, populist, and religious approaches were all what I called Level 10 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), as he tried to get a stampede going. The fatal flaw in such an approach is that it appeals to the primary population management ideologies in the USA (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). Humanity's social managers use those ideologies to herd people along to the elite agenda, and Godzilla is the master shepherd. You can't out-herd the master shepherd with his own tools. I saw many "give us Barabbas! (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient1)" moments during my days with Dennis. The masses only care about their immediate self-interest. I initially thought that inventors may have been an exception, but was eventually disabused of that delusion (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905725&viewfull=1#post905725), but it took more than 20 years.
When I saw Dennis join the Patriot Movement (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), I really wondered what he thought that he would accomplish (and he has tried the religion route many times). Dennis later told me that all of the "Patriot" leaders were a bunch of phonies (he said that Lindsey Williams was the only genuine one that he met, whose private behavior matched his public image - the rest were actors). I was not surprised in the slightest.
I really lost interest in what Dennis was doing in the 1990s, and not because he was not giving it his best, but because I saw that the "army" that he was amassing would always sell itself to the highest bidder if they did not stab him in the back making their own plays, and those arrayed against FE have the world's deepest pockets.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, I was busying performing the study and writing that became my site largely as it stands today, and ended up carrying Brian's spears. When Brian invited me to help found NEM (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem) in 2003, I was game, getting my feet wet in the milieu again. Even leaving aside Mallove's murder and Brian's fleeing to South America (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), NEM was a disaster, and Brian got kicked out of NEM by the very people that he invited in to help. That was a familiar scenario. I witnessed dozens of attempts to steal Dennis's companies, and it was shocking at first (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), but I eventually learned that I was just seeing humanity in action. I wanted out of NEM even before Mallove was murdered, as I saw where NEM was heading. None of NEM's members had any experience on the FE high road, and it showed. That aside, we probably were being subjected to Godzilla's fun and games, which Brian picked up on before Mallove was murdered. I bankrolled NEM in its first year and quit the day after our first conference, staggering away from it and going silent for years. That was the last Level 10 effort that I would ever be involved with. Dennis and Brian kept trying in later years to recruit me back into their Level 10 efforts, but I was done with them. When I told them what I was attempting – the world's first Level 12 effort, they were both intrigued.
Although I intend for my Level 12 effort to have the numbers that were in Dennis's Level 10 efforts, it will be a very different crowd than those 5,000 people that Dennis put into a stadium to hear about FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#philly). And that comes to my approach and why I am taking it.
I suppose it really begins with the primary lesson of my journey, which I resisted every step of the way until I had it beaten into my head in no uncertain terms: Personal integrity is the world's scarcest commodity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn). I learned it the hard way, and all attempts below Level 12 ignore or deny that simple truth. I can understand why they deny it, but denying reality is not the path to success. It is the reason why people deny the possibility or desirability of FE, it is behind why Dennis and Brian had their efforts stolen from them, it is behind those "Give us Barabbas!" moments, it is behind all of those fake philanthropists, it is behind all of that non-help that the world's institutions and organizations have provided to FE efforts, and it is behind organized suppression. The trials of FE are really a story of the human condition, and it is not pretty.
That does not mean that I have given up on humanity. People like Einstein understandably gave up on humanity near the end of their lives, and I could not blame them. The vast majority of humanity is semi-sentient today, largely driven by their animal instincts and social conditioning, as they seek fleeting moments of pleasure in a world of scarcity and fear.
But the rise in the human standard of living, driven by increasing amounts of energy consumption (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), has made it a far more humane world. Modern anthropologists have rightfully deflated the "Peaceful Savage" meme that long-dominated the profession. Humans were far more violent in earlier epochs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbes) than they are today. In the "greatest" ancient civilization, people were forced to murder each other (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gladiators), for entertainment. Only three centuries ago, nobody on Earth was arguing for an end to that institution that was older than civilization: slavery. Nobody could imagine the end of slavery until energy-powered machines made human labor uneconomical (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas). Today, machines perform 99.9% of the physical work in industrial nations. (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave) In that nation that invented freedom (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iroquois) ( :) ), its presidents were virtually all slaveholders or slavery advocates (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryusa) for nearly a century, long after the rest of the West had ended the institution as barbaric, but in the plantation economy of the American South, slavery still made economic sense, so it was defended all the way to the Civil War.
So, humanity is certainly capable of social "progress," (but are we even as "progressive" as bonobos (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1)?) but as I found in my studies, it was always predicated on economic progress. All economic progress for the entire human journey has been based on increasing levels of energy usage. Energy came first, and social and cognitive changes happened later. For humanity's Epochal Events, there are no exceptions, and I do not see why it should be any different for FE, and all the fear and denial directed toward FE, from all corners, is only a more "sophisticated" version that those australopiths would have held toward a campfire. None of them could imagine what the control of fire would lead to (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine1).
These are certainly not novel ideas that I made up. Machiavelli noted the human resistance to anything new (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli), and I have not seen anything since then to revise his opinion. But, once people can experience the change, they can quickly adapt to it. That is borne out by history, too. The reason why people fear change is because in world of scarcity, change means winners and losers, and before the Industrial Revolution, losers starved. So those human fears are not outlandish, and Fuller noted (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity2) how deeply fear and failure are baked into human consciousness.
So, that is long way of saying that the masses are ruled by fear, and fear and scarcity are at the bottom of all dominant ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and Godzilla is the master of using those ideologies to short-circuit humanity's sentience, so people can be easily herded in whatever direction Godzilla wants them to stampede. The masses will be no help whatsoever in making FE manifest, and those who deny that simple truth simply have no experience on the high road to FE.
Dennis and Brian eventually tried to be more selective in their audience, but there was still nobody home, and appealing to groups that are built around the dominant ideologies is a prescription for failure. What I noticed over the many years was that while people could understand the potential of FE somewhat (even the dimmest among us did not take long to understand that the world as they knew it would end, and that is what scared them), almost everybody was also scientifically illiterate, and really did not understand the issues in any depth. They never got far past that overwhelming feeling, and then fled as fast as they could, or they were interested to the extent that they could reduce their energy bills with FE or get rich and famous. All inventors were stuck in the rich-and-famous rut, which could go off the scale to thinking that they were the Second Coming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and average people (potential customers) who got beyond denial were most interested in getting off the grid and living in the wilderness or reducing their energy bills.
I am not making any of this up out of my imagination or some new kind of social theory, but just 40 years of chasing my dream, interacting with thousands of people on the subject, carrying the spears of people like Dennis and Brian, and trading notes with fellow travelers. It is just the fruit of being on the high road for many years.
So, after those many years, being introduced to Fuller's work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) to help crystallize the paradigm that I had been groping toward for a lifetime, and a decade of studying for writing my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) and interacting with the public some more in cyberspace (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), I came to the approach that I am about to try out.
I realized that:
Almost nobody on Earth possessed the level of integrity that Dennis, Mr. Professor, and Brian did (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and I certainly could not build an effort around a level of integrity that did not exist;
Almost nobody really understood the role of energy in our world, so that if they did anything at all to help right humanity's ship, they hacked at branches and did not even suspect that there was a root;
But there were people on Earth who had levels of integrity to begin to wake up from their indoctrination (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800); I found that those who awoke usually did so because they cared, and chasing their ideals is what woke them up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts);
Those people, however, were less than one-in-a-thousand in the general population, and maybe far less;
However, the Internet is a tool with a global reach that people like me could not have imagined would be available even 20 years ago, and I can hunt for those needles in haystacks with it;
I only needed one-in-a-million (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) for my idea to work.
When the dust settled in Ventura, I realized that if Dennis and our core had 50 people like me and Mr. Professor supporting it, that we had a fighting chance to make FE happen. If it had been 100, it would have been easy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes). But there are not 100 of us on Earth, or 10 like Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany). I am shooting for 5,000-7,000 people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) who can only shed their indoctrination enough to comprehend abundance, develop a comprehensive perspective (which will necessarily require some scientific literacy, not no more than is needed to comprehend my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm)), and attract 100,000 or so who have been pining for that song for their entire lives, and may have incarnated to hear that song and "do something." I designed my effort so that I do not need money to do it (the bane of all FE efforts), and when we finally do something, we will develop and then give away the most lucrative technology in world history, by far.
Nothing like that has ever been remotely attempted before, and Dennis and Brian recognized that it was something new and unusual. Will it make a dent? I do not know, but you never know until you try, but I also designed it so that nobody will be risking their lives, except maybe me at first. What I am asking of the choir is anything but easy. Almost nobody on Earth is willing to relinquish their scarcity-based teddy bears, but that is the key to learning the abundance song and singing it.
Maybe I will write a little more on what I am taking this approach, but those are the basics. People who immediately fear an unenlightened implementation of FE (Level 5 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5)) are no help, as they are simply projecting their scarcity-based fears onto a situation of abundance. The process of singing is going to help fertilize the ground for an enlightened implementation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), which those who fear FE cannot seem to comprehend.
I know that I am looking for needles in haystacks, but I have budgeted the rest of my life's "spare" time to finding and training them, and we will see how it goes. I do not expect it to start fast, but training the first singers will probably be the hard part of what I intend.

Hi:
I write about it in my big essay in some depth, but will discuss it here a little. When I write that Rome's primary entertainment was watching people being forced to murder each other, the point is not how uniquely evil Rome was. They just took the day's practices to more extreme ends.
Chimps engage in genocide (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), and today the leading hypothesis is that as humanity conquered the planet, there were always wide open spaces filled with easy meat, so any conflict would have been peacefully solved by moving on to the next valley. There is not much evidence of inter-human violence until the easy meat was gone (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) and societies bumped up against energy limits. It has been that way (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1) for all wars ever since.
Agriculture independently began in at least two regions and as many as nine, but the lower number is likelier than the higher, IMO. It appeared where the meat was gone and women could expand on their gathering activities to domesticate plants. In societies in which a woman's economic contribution is substantial (which is edible calories in all preindustrial societies), they have relatively high status and their societies can become matrilineal, and those are always the most peaceful societies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1). Earth's four pristine societies all began peacefully (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1), as women had great influence. But men soon rose to dominance, which reflected their advantages of physical strength (such as handling draft animals) and ability to inflict violence (the rise of the professional soldier and the hero archetype (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#europeviolence)), and the advent of civilization meant a universal decline in women's status (which would not rise again until the Industrial Revolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic)).
All early civilizations were extremely brutal, partly so that the new and rising ruling class could inflict their rule (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#legitimacy), and that is common among all early civilizations. Mass warfare began with the first civilization (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare), and the brutality of those times was the stuff of legends, and the first recorded laws reflected it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#akkadian).
Egyptians worked slaves to death in their gold mines (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nileflood), and the Roman practice of completely destroying cities that they conquered, while annihilating and enslaving the residents, had a long tradition going back to the first civilizations, as anybody who reads the Old Testament knows well. Carthaginians, who Romans annihilated (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carthage1), engaged in the practice of destroying cities and enslaving their residents, consigning them to short lives in their mines on the Iberian Peninsula.
Anybody looking for a Golden Age (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages) during the Domestication Revolution and that Epoch of the human journey are going to be disappointed, other than seeing how those pristine civilizations began peacefully.
Time for chores.

Hi:
As a little addendum to my "strategy" posts, and much I have written before, the closest thing to "free" energy was Dennis's heat pump when he sold it under his systems for savings plan (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). That plan is a window into Dennis's soul almost more than anything else. What a divinely brilliant plan, and almost without exception, his greed-blinded associates dismissed it as Dennis's "crazy" marketing plan and discarded it after they stole his companies and, of course, all promptly went out of business.
As I have written many times, in physical reality, it is all about energy and consciousness (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#consciousness). On the consciousness front, machines that think have been around since the 1600s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing_hardware#Mechanical_calculators), but obviously really took off right after World War and the invention of semiconductors (and maybe with some ET help). The reproduction of intelligence is in its infancy, and it is no accident that the two greatest moguls of their eras were the first energy mogul (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) and the first artificial intelligence mogul, and it has been interesting to see Gates get into the energy issue (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates).
I have always been the tech "geek" at my companies, and have been in the high tech industry for the past 15 years. The vast fortunes amassed in high tech are part of the "wonders" of capitalism, but West Coast high tech is something new in the human journey, and its pioneers were born and raised during the postwar boom (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), which is humanity's richest era. The trademark nerdish wardrobes of the high tech mavens are not just costumes, but that egalitarian credo is very evident in high tech companies. When else has the world's richest human waited in line for the movies and snacks (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates)?
Although the capitalistic part of high tech is a big downside, high tech is still relatively innocent and idealistic, and the free software movement arose from that milieu. The ideals of free software, open-sourcing, crowdfunding, and other high tech ideas that were born due to the postwar boom or the Internet are partly what I am basing my strategy on (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#utopia).
They can be seen, like Dennis's systems for savings plan, as precursors to the kind of world that will likely manifest (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) if FE can make its way past humanity's inertia and the organized suppression (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make).

One interesting observation made recently in my massage therapy program is that humans still have yet to fully adapt to an upright, bipedal posture. The thought came back to me when thinking about the aforementioned violence in chimp societies. Evolution really isn't a "perfect" process, it's a state of constant dynamic flux seeking a point of balance that is never absolute.
Even though recent attempts at genetic engineering have been largely based on profit seeking and scarcity, it's uplifting to think of how genetic change might be pursued when sentience comes into play rather than the current left-brained approach.

Hi Enishi:
When pondering those Roads worlds (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roadsblade), as both had genetic engineering, I have wondered how much in that heavenly world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) that humans were subject to genetic modification. What I find particularly fascinating about that heavenly Roads world is that the people all had golden skin and many different colors of hair and eyes.
It was only as I began to study evolution for my essay, and I thought about the ramifications of FE and attendant technologies kept under wraps (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), that I realized that geographic isolation would end and so would race (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), as races are just incipient speciation. So, a humanity 300 years into our future, if FE made its appearance, would probably look a lot like those people that Roads saw, without any genetic intervention. It would just be the effect of taking the entire human gene pool and mixing it up.
Later on in my studies, I saw Peter Ward speculate along similar lines about race disappearing, and there have been channeled and mystical works that stated that humanity would become one golden-skinned race, but none that I ever saw stated that it would just be a side-effect of ending geographic isolation in the human species.
So, while that was one of the many "aha" moments during my studies, I wonder how much genetic engineering of humans takes place in those Roads worlds. It might be a lot, but again, the differences in motivation between those two worlds would be like night and day. If it was done "sentiently," as you state, that would likely end all genetic diseases, everybody would have IQs off the scale, and the like. But yes, I doubt that anybody should trust such activities under the greed-based system known as capitalism.
Yes indeed, evolution is never finished, although there has been progress of a sort (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lemur), and maybe a lot, if "intelligence" can be considered "progress." :) Humanity has radically changed the evolutionary game. The growing brain of the human line (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain), very likely due to our enhanced energy practices, is one of the more dramatic events in evolutionary history. When humans began domesticating plants and animals primarily through selective breeding, it was another new development. Genetic "engineering," which artificially created mutations, is another level the game, far beyond anything that happened before.
I get that walking upright is pretty new and our adaptations are less than ideal. IMO, humans have not been "sentient" all that long, and that is why we are semi-sentient as a species, as the limbic system can still dominate (emotions, fear). In one of Adam's interviews with Scott, he said that compared to ET species, the human brain is not well integrated into the organism, and that makes a lot of sense, being that our big brains are so new. We are still getting the hang of having them. :)
That was a nice and provocative post, young man.

Hi:
In the USA, today is a day of feasting, in world history's most obese and sedentary society (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#sloth), and afterward, American men will hurt themselves playing football near their homes and watch gladiators take the field in a bunch of televised football games.
As my readers know well, as I staggered out of Ventura in 1990 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), radicalized, I began hitting the books, and was soon studying how the media lies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). Only a couple of years later, I worked in Columbus, Ohio in 1992 when the city mounted a celebration that lasted an entire year, to commemorate Columbus's heroic feat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm). It was about then that I read Howard Zinn's account of the feat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn), and amongst all the cheering I happened upon David Stannard's American Holocaust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Stannard#American_Holocaust). That was my big wakeup call on the truth of American history. I was reading parts of it just a couple of weeks ago. I know of no more searing book than that one, as far as challenging American delusions. He wrote the forward to Ward Churchill's A Little Matter of Genocide, and Stannard wrote that Churchill was "looking for trouble" in writing that excellent book, and he was right. The centerpiece of Churchill's book was an account of the "settling" of North America by Europe. I have never seen anything quite like it. It was that essay in particular for which an inquisition was convened and Churchill's career was destroyed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#churchill).
What those psychopaths and cowards in academia did was deconstruct a few of Churchill's footnotes, attack a few of his minor points, and conclude that he may have been playing a little fast and loose in his interpretation of the evidence, and then they booted him out of his professorship. Career over.
It was the academic equivalent of putting Dennis behind bars for two years because he failed to file a form (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate). In The Land of the Free. Freedom of speech is a farce in the USA, as Ralph McGehee discovered the hard way (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mcgehee). While performing my studies all those years ago, the myths I had been raised with began collapsing fast and furiously, such as the Founding Father myths (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers). Mass murdering thieves became national heroes. I do not want to pick on the USA too much as all settler states, such as Canada, Australia, Israel, South Africa, and the like have similar toxic piles of lies that justify the invasions and genocide, which we see happening today in Israel, and typically, Americans are totally disinformed about what is happening there. If Americans got the truth about both situations, they would realize that the Palestinian genocide is just an industrialized version of how the USA was "settled."
Of all the American mythmaking, I am not sure that anything tops Thanksgiving. I began seeing the holes in the myth in those early days of studying all the lies I had been fed. About the only true part of the Thanksgiving Myth was that the "Pilgrims" and their benefactors had a harvest feast that lasted a few days. European disease had already cleared the land where the Pilgrims "settled," and those tribal remnants thought that those new white people might be good allies to have for the region's balance of power.
Those "Pilgrims" actually had a relatively peaceful co-existence with those Indians for about a decade, and then Englishmen began coming by the boatload, when the active genocide of all of New England's natives commenced in earnest. Slaughtering sleeping villages and killing every man, woman, and child (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#thanksgiving) was an English specialty. When an English mercenary was able to reproduce his successful strategy of slaughtering a sleeping village, the church officials on Manhattan Island declared the second thanksgiving (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#underhill), and severed heads were kicked through the streets like soccer balls during the celebration. The son of the chief that hosted that original Thanksgiving feast had his head mounted on a pole at Plymouth for more than 20 years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#mather).
For the next couple of centuries, thanksgiving celebrations were held whenever a particularly impressive slaughter of Indians was accomplished. Abraham Lincoln finally put some structure to the celebrations and declared just one day a year to be a Thanksgiving celebration. The day that Lincoln made his declaration, he sent federal troops to slaughter Indians in Minnesota. That was the real American Thanksgiving, the one I was never told about as I made my construction paper Pilgrim's outfit in kindergarten.
During my studies, I regularly found situations like that, in which night was literally turned into day. Mass murdering thieves became "Fathers of our Country" and attained mythic status, but their bloody and evil deeds do not even appear in their standard biographies. It was like that for George Washington (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint), Christopher Columbus (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#second), and the pious padre (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra) who is up for sainthood today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#saint), Junípero Serra, whose name graced my elementary school. My situation was like a German "settler" kid attending Adolf Hitler grammar school at Auschwitz (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#congregacion), and the only mention of Jews was that good ol' Uncle Adolf tried to bring the light of civilization to those "heathen" Jews, but their fate was never mentioned; they just kind of vanished. Hitler's crime was losing the war and exterminating white people.
College professors have long used my work to bludgeon their students into awakening (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#shocked), but I wonder how effective it really is. It may lead to a little cognitive dissonance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive), but it is probably suppressed and people blithely continue along their paths of self-serving delusion. It is not like there is any quest for truth in the USA on the big stage. Washington's biographers still cannot bring themselves to even mention his greatest feat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint). We still have Columbus Day (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#why) (and Presidents' Day, which was Washington's Birthday when I was a child, and was combined with Lincoln's birthday to make only one holiday), and while I can only admire that guy who is doing battle on TV (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=883335&viewfull=1#post883335), using my work as his bludgeon, it probably does not even make a dent.
People who eagerly believe that lies that sanctify the crimes of their ancestors are destined to repeat the same crimes, and that is richly evident in the USA's imperial behavior, as we slaughter millions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) and almost no American is aware of the toll or cares. We are heading toward the abyss at warp speed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). Will we wake up in time to avoid a global catastrophe? We will see.
Time to go hiking, to burn off some calories before I gorge myself. :)

Hi:
This morning's hike was a joy. I did not see a soul. I have definitely had my fair share of hiking in forests and meadows, picking berries, and the like, and I can only be grateful. Attached is a pic from this morning's hike. You can see that the bracken fern have died off and the leaves are virtually all gone from the trees. That is what my woods look like in winter, except when it snows, which is rare there but a treat. I have hiked there when there was six inches of snow on the ground and snowing pretty good, and that can be pretty magical.
My previous post of the manifold delusions that imperial peoples and "settler" states have is a small facet of our problems. The Big One is energy, as always, in a world of energy scarcity. A major purpose of my big essay is to help people develop comprehensive perspectives. When the big picture is seen, or at least a far larger one than is seen by the masses today, it really brings a lot into focus, and the myopic perspective of so many schools of "thought" in today's world becomes obvious.
As I sat there, taking a little rest this morning, taking that picture, I thought of that forest. Conifer forests are more than a quarter-billion years old (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conifer), including the ferns. I was looking at a landscape that is ancient indeed. And thinking about the human journey that brought me there, I realized how out of place a creature like me really was, if we consider nature. Without the human line's toolset, it would have never left the forests and woodlands of Africa (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#habilis). Without our toolset, humanity would have never appeared on the evolutionary scene. Our tools made us. Conifer forests are marginal forests, as far as supporting animal life. The warmer lands have forests in which flowering plants dominate, which laid out a banquet for animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers), to lessen the cost of reproduction. An ape is so out of place in a conifer forest. North America did not host primates for more than 30 million years, until humans came invading less than 20 thousand years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#americanmigration). The only primates that could exist in North America were super-predatory, tool-bearing apes.
But a comprehensive perspective also is aware that such intercontinental invasions are not new. There were many intercontinental invasions in the Eocene (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#horse1), Asian mammals later invaded Europe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#endeocene) and Africa (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#africanmigration), and North American mammals invaded South America (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pliocene), and Europe's conquest of the world can easily be seen in the same light, and Europeans driving humans to extinction on three continents (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2) can merely be seen as more of the same. But it also brings up the issue of whether humanity is really a sentient species, engaging in wholesale genocide like it has for recorded history, and celebrating the feats, of all things (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#debate).
Time to make my salad for my family's Thanksgiving feast, and then watch a football game (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=906247&viewfull=1#post906247). :)

Dear Wade,
A friend of mine got killed while riding his bicycle a few days ago. He was hit by a Fed-ex Truck that crossed over into a bicycle lane and killed my friend.
http://bikeportland.org/2014/11/21/friends-remember-kirke-johnson-identified-man-killed-cedar-mill-collision-113780
It was reported in the main Portland paper not the local cycling paper above, and the author did a very good job reporting the story yet being sensitive of the feelings of friends and family However, it was in the comments section of the article that just got to me big time. Some folks not feeling any empathy for any of us who are survived and are grieving went on a tirade about how bicycles should not be on the roads etc. and I was of course wondering if these people are even human in the normal sense of that word?
Of course these folks were a small minority of the commentators on the article but still....
And I am currently reading an article on Ponerology or the study of evil and what drives people in society to evil and the conclusion is that psychopathy is something from evolution and how a psychopath is the ultimate predator on the planet and that it is a physical and genetic condition afflicting about six percent of the population.
I have been reading how a psychopaths brain has an anomaly that can be measured by MRI (http://psychcentral.com/news/2012/05/11/scans-show-psychopaths-have-brain-abnormalities/38540.html) and is a physical condition that almost makes them a separate species of Human being. How the six percent can control the majority of humanity through there manipulations of humanity and it is a global problem is what our Wade is talking about on his wonderful thread.
I observed this phenomenon in my employment with the Federal Government. It was at the same time frightening at times yet revealing and I had to deal with these people to get my job done. Wade's view of them is very healthy as to look at them as a natural process such as a thunderstorm or a tornado or an earth quake ...a process of nature.
And so as an American I can read Zinn or Chomsky or Frazier on the American Empire and not blow a fuse as our Wade says!;)
If something is not done about this on just an evolutionary scale shortly then they will be the dominant species of Human being and so the importance of Wade's work just hit home for me as I try to look at the big picture and I see every human institution infected with the psychopath mentality with the ultimate end of 90% of humanity as the goal of a small minority and Wade telling us over and over and over how integrity is the worlds scarcest commodity!!
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_ponerology01.htm#PSYCHOPATHS
Wade, you are providing excellent leadership on this issue and I believe that your plan will have success with the young first and then the old and burned out by the system such as me...
thanx

Hi Nine:
Sorry to hear about your friend. FE and attendant technologies make such incidents obsolete (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#autopilot), obviously. That is a big subject, psychopaths and evil. Those comments that you see on the Internet are unfortunately typical, and maybe they come from that 6%, but what I have found on the Internet is that because people are not interacting as people but as anonymous texters, they tend to not treat people as people, and behave in ways that they never would if they were directly interacting with each other.
But this is by no means something new, but a new medium exists, and there are upsides and downsides to it, and is one reason why I will not have any anonymous members in my forum (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/forum1.htm). Who would really want to join a "community" of anonymous people, like some secret society? I cannot see such a "community" getting anything important accomplished, much less help manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
One big point of my essay is showing the deep roots of many human behaviors and ideas. Social animals go way back, maybe even to protists, as sexual reproduction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sex) meant that members of the same species had to interact to procreate. Even cyanobacteria formed colonies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenic). Dinosaurs were social animals, and monkeys have many traits (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1) that can be seen in human societies today.
The central feature of all monkey and ape societies is a defensible energy supply, and social organization is oriented around it. Because of sexual reproduction and preventing inbreeding, one gender had to leave its natal society to mate. With monkeys, males left. With chimps and gorillas, females left. When females left, that meant that the males became dominant in new ways, and those societies are notable for their brutality (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#infanticide1).
It looks like the entire human line to Homo sapiens was male dominated in that way, so those were likely as brutal as we see in chimps today, and one feature of all such societies was how members of out-groups were treated. All out-groups were fair game, and chimps engage in genocide of their neighbors (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary). This can be seen in humans throughout history, even to today, in history's richest and most powerful nation, as it slaughters millions of people in order to steal their resources (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). While "leaders" such as Bush, Cheney, and Rummy are all psychopaths (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292), to one degree or another, they were very willingly followed by a nation, even when the most transparently dishonest and stupid rationales were trotted out (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc). The reason is because those "towel-heads" in Asia are an out-group, and humans have ever slaughtered out-groups with gusto (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1).
My Thanksgiving post yesterday (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=906247&viewfull=1#post906247), as I show how Americans cheered slaughters of women and children (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#debate), even having days of Thanksgiving to commemorate such events, is pointing out nothing new in the human journey, I am sorry to day. Evil deeds committed against the out-group, and the most irrational and asinine defense of one's in-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), is a universal human trait. Until people can see all life on Earth as our in-group, we won’t be a fully sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric).
So-called psychopaths have only taken "normal" human traits to their extreme; their in-group has only one member: themselves. They are merely on the extreme end of a spectrum that all humans reside on (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), and the vast majority is far closer to the psychopathic end of the spectrum than the saintly one. If that was not the case, we would have had FE by now. I am looking for those less-than-one-in-a-thousand people who are honest and courageous enough to shed their egocentric indoctrination (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) and simply imagine abundance. It is like a walk in the desert looking for them, but even one-in-a-million will work for what I have in mind. Will I find them? Some close to me think that it is a fool's errand, and they may be right, but I have to try.
There are precedents for what I am attempting and what its impact will be, and perhaps the most instructive is what some isolated chimps did when their food supply doubled. The females took over, ended male gang dominance, used sex for social bonding, and it is arguable that bonobo society is more enlightened than any human society has ever been (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1). If bonobos could do it, why can't humans? And we also have many examples in human societies of the ability to end male gang dominance. As all the easy meat was hunted to extinction on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi), women gatherers became the primary economic (energy) providers to their societies, and their status therefore rose. Many such societies became matrilineal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), so that the men had to leave their natal society to mate, and those have been Earth's most peaceful and enlightened societies. When men run societies, they are disasters of greed and violence, and psychopaths rule. Godzilla is almost exclusively, if not exclusively, comprised of men. Oh, they have Mafia wives, for sure, but it is men who excel at evil. Women are biologically wired to care for others.
The bottom line is that if we get over the hump into an FE-based civilization, we will become far more like bonobos than chimps, and you just won't see psychopathic behavior. It will not be encouraged, heck, cheered, as it is today. The archetype of evil men clambering to the top and running the show will disappear, which is one reason why I say that women need to step up, and step up far beyond what we see in the soft-headed New Age phenomenon, in which male "gurus" have their harems and the rest of that tawdry spectacle (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage). At that NEM conference, (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland) my wife noticed how Brian was swarmed with groupies. The women involved in the choir have to reach far higher levels of integrity and sentience than that, and develop a little scientific literacy and critical thinking. The men involved have to put aside their inventor-itis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), trying to be heroes and Messiahs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), becoming rich and famous, and the rest of those traps that I see them fall into nearly every time. Again, I know that I am looking for needles in haystacks, but they are out there.

Hi:
Fortunately, I am not the only one (http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/11/25/americans-celebrate-thanksgiving-day-paul-craig-roberts/) taking on the Thanksgiving Myth in the USA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=906247&viewfull=1#post906247). You will see different agendas in challenging the myth, and I will also endorse the idea that Lincoln's declaration was also trying to unite a nation in the midst of its most calamitous war, which reverberates even today, 150 years later.

Hi:
One comment I have seen repeatedly directed toward my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) is that it is too orthodox. If I am advocating FE and other "fringe" stuff, why do I not have the whole catalog of fringe theory and conspiracist lore in that essay, instead of what seems a paean to The Establishment?
Anybody who says that it is all orthodox either did not read the essay or understand it. I use what I find valid and relevant, and am not wedded to something because it is orthodox or fringe. I wrote an essay on the subject (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm) several years ago. My interest in "fringe stuff" began when I read Ripley's Believe or Not and Frank Edwards's "Strange" series about when I was 13, but as I was being trained to become a scientist, I began to take a no-nonsense view of such stuff… until I had my mystical awakening at age 16 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown). My first professional mentor invented the world's best engine for powering an automobile (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) around the same time, and my journey toward FE began, although I did not hear about FE until after I met Dennis. I had one foot in orthodoxy and one foot in the fringes since I was a teenager, and as Ken Wilber noted about the mystical orientation of the greatest physicists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#wilber), they did not see the schism as between science and religion but between the genuine and the bogus, and that has always been my litmus test. Just because something was orthodox did not make it valid, and just because something was fringe did not make it invalid.
While most fringe stuff is invalid, the greatest evils can be found in orthodoxy. While our FE efforts were targeted by the world's greatest conspiracy with the world's deepest pockets, (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) the conspiracist framework is simplistic and jaded, and sees the world through a victim's lens. So does the structuralist framework (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), and I see the schism as one between love and fear, enlightenment and dogma, scarcity versus abundance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), and so on.
The attack-the-tumor paradigm of cancer treatment (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket), the promotion of tobacco while making health claims for it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes), and the promotion of an industrial waste to this day as "medicine" (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm) are a few examples of the great evils in the medical racket. But that certainly does not make alternative medicine valid, and a great deal of it has marginal validity. Even when valid, the promoters were often hucksters (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/bragg.htm). But there is highly impressive "impossible" technology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife) and the data derived from such that makes the entire foundation of much of modern medicine look shaky. But the medical racket is the most lucrative on Earth, next to the energy racket, so you will find truly surreal situations there, but the most bizarre part about the situation is how easily people fall prey to it, preferring certain death over confronting their conditioning and indoctrination. You probably have to see it to believe it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings).
The energy racket uses similar means to similar ends, but energy is the Big One that dwarfs everything else, and each time that humanity tapped a new energy source, a new Epoch of the human journey began. We are on the brink of the biggest Epochal Event of all (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), but humanity might not make it over the hump, as we destroy ourselves and take most of the biosphere with us (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). That situation is the focus of my attention, and I am engaging in an unprecedented approach (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to try to solve the riddle.
That does not mean that I ignored everything except some narrow focus on energy. It is far from that, but few people on Earth currently understand how central the energy issue (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) has always been on Earth, and what the Epochal significance of FE is (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Along the way, I have snooped into the fringes, such as catastrophic theory (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky), conspiratorial political events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), alternative health treatments (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), "alternative" history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more) and politics, and the mystical world and the abilities of consciousness (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#research), and just like my explorations of orthodoxy, my heart was always my guide, wedded to a rather unique mind that always sought what was valid, what was relevant, what was helpful, and where the roots were in relation to the branches. It has all been quite an odyssey, and I barely survived my FE adventures (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), and have had enough of that for a lifetime (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey).
The uniformitarian framework is a couple of centuries old and became an orthodox dogma (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darwin), and was not really overturned in orthodoxy until the appearance of the bolide impact hypothesis for the demise of the dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction). In the eon of complex life, there was no more spectacular catastrophic event. All mass extinctions were catastrophes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctiontable), but other than the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs and many of the megafauna extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), none would have been detectable in a human lifetime. The theory of global catastrophic events in the historical era, such as Velikovsky's work, does not add up to me (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky), and I spent years looking into it. The catastrophist explanation for the megafauna extinctions is far less persuasive than the climate change explanations, and I consider the climate change explanations as virtually all bogus (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange) and a defense of the in-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) known as humanity or the Stone Age peoples of the Americas and Australia (as white scholars "go native" in an understandable and even noble (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn5) but misguided approach).
Literalist interpretations of ancient texts (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales) are barking up the wrong tree, IMO. Those texts have some facts in them, but are mostly fantasy to justify the positions of early elites, usually in cahoots with a corrupt priesthood (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1). Using them to reconstruct ancient events is a pretty shaky approach.
Similarly, the "enigmatic" megalithic architecture was all made by either Stone Age or Bronze Age peoples, and they would have been good at working in stone. I have never found persuasive all the "mystical," advanced civilization, and ET explanations of that megalithic architecture. Those megaliths were built by the new elites to overawe their subjects and competitors. All early human civilizations did it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear). Until somebody adduces some artifacts that are not made of stone, I am going to be very skeptical of such fringe explanations of ancient monumental architecture.
John Kennedy and his brother were murdered in conspiracies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk). You can take that one to the bank, and many American political assassinations were the result of conspiracies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#dangers), probably carried out via covert action, with a "lone nut" scapegoat served up each time. But the conspiracist culture in the USA is often paranoid and deluded, and "conspiracies" such as faked moon landings (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo) and other topics will live on long after I am gone, just like there is still a Flat Earth society (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth). While there is plenty that does not add up about the 9/11 terror attacks (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11), and federal government complicity would not surprise me in the slightest, even ignoring that those "terrorists" were trained by the USA in the first place (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#osama), the spectacle that has evolved around 9/11 has been disheartening to witness, and the milieu has really gone off the deep end with recent events such as that elementary school shooting in Connecticut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting) or the Boston Marathon bombings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Marathon_bombings), as prominent conspiracists argued that the events did not even really happen but were fake events, like faked moon landings. Many conspiracists have become crazed, and I cannot help but wonder how many agents provocateurs are in their ranks, fanning the flames of their delusions.
Much of my "alternative" history study is not very "alternative" at all, but just the facts of history that our propaganda systems ignore or suppress, such as the true American Thanksgiving tradition (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=906247&viewfull=1#post906247), the lies about the USA's Founding Fathers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers), and the like.
Free energy and antigravity technologies exist on Earth today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and far more, and the UFO cover-up is very real (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big). You can take that to the bank. I know because of what very close fellow travelers have experienced. Brian O nearly lost his life (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack) after poking into the UFO phenomenon, immediately after rejecting an "offer" from the USA's military. But all sorts of crazy yarns have sprung up like weeds around those situations, and a significant proportion is likely disinformation from the "inside" to muddy the waters. Conspiracists of every stripe have had a field day, and the tabloid media has enabled them.
Time for chores.

Wade

Hi:
The nature/nurture debate is a very old one, and in The Blank Slate, Steven Pinker surveys some of the extreme ends of that issue. The so-called blank slate approach was that everybody is inherently equal with identical genetic and biological inheritance, and everything is nurture. It became a very popular position in the 20th century, and has led to absurdities such as women going to prison for "raping" teenage boys. They are still going to prison today (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=899093&viewfull=1#post899093) in the USA for that very much victimless "crime."
In The Blank Slate, Pinker also assails The Peaceful Savage and The Ghost in the Machine ideas. The Peaceful Savage is the Rousseauian idea that there was a peaceful interlude in the human past, when man in nature was idyllic. The Ghost in the Machine is the idea of a soul.
A lot of The Blank Slate mentality is an understandable reaction to the "scientific" racism, sexism, and other "isms" that arose in the 19th century, particularly in the wake of Darwin's theories. Social Darwinism became the basis for Machiavellian schools of thought, and eugenics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics) made its grotesque appearance. Behaviorists led by Skinner argued that no behaviors were inherent in the organism, and that all behaviors were learned.
It regularly reached ridiculous levels in which biology was responsible for 100% of traits and behaviors, or 0%, depending on the school of thought. What happened was that political ideas overrode scientific investigation. The suppression of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) is just one example of many in which political-economic considerations overrode science. The stigma against racism is so entrenched that scientists and doctors are discouraged from investigating any biological differences of the races, which is setting back medical treatments and scientific investigation. And any time that a genetic basis for a racial or ethnic group trait is hinted at by scientists, such as the high IQs of Ashkenazy Jews (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jewish), the opposition can become vociferous and go far beyond the scientific issues being raised.
Suggest that any behavioral traits of any races and ethnic groups have anything to do with their genes, and expect a firestorm of criticism and even professional blackballing. It is known that various breeds of dogs have different dispositions, and it has a genetic basis. But the same cannot be suggested for humans. There can be kind and loving pit bulls and vicious golden retrievers, but we know what breeding has encouraged. The silver fox was domesticated within my lifetime (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#silverfox) by selective breeding, and they act like dogs.
The Peaceful Savage meme in anthropology in the last half of the 20th century was partly a reaction to the World Wars, and anthropologists desperately wanted to believe in a naturally peaceful humanity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbes). That fiction was not overturned until the late 20th century.
The fact is that genetics matter, that economic conditions matter. Nurture can become nature. While Pinker assailed the Ghost in the Machine, a one-week meditation class can easily falsify the materialistic model of consciousness (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) that Pinker and other materialists promote. While material reality, including genetics, can greatly impact consciousness, consciousness ultimately does not arise from matter. The materialism = science = reality is a false equivalence based on self-reinforcing assumptions. Have a remote viewing (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown), and you can never buy that belief system. Physical reality is not the sum total of creation.
That all-or-nothing approach can be seen in many areas, and is why we have hard-core materialists going at it with religious fundamentalists, why we have airy-fairy new age approaches contrasting with materialist fundamentalist approaches. I am not sure if that is how some souls learn, by plumbing the extremes, or that most people just cannot hold more than one idea in their heads at a time. Karl Popper preferred simpler hypotheses because they were easier to falsify (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#falsify), but it is probably only the highly simple hypotheses – the kindergarten of science, if you will – that is easily subjected to such tests.
Scientists have developed the concepts of ranking causes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#delay) and feedback effects (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gaia), to create more comprehensive pictures of reality, and it is certainly a step in the right direction, but I have also seen scientists go overboard on "nuance" (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange) and lose sight of ultimate causes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). This confusion and getting lost in the weeds is common in many disciplines, such as modern economics ignoring energy and the real world (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chicagoschool) in its constructions.
One reason why comprehensive perspectives are so rare is that it takes a lot of work to develop them. It is not for quick-study artists, and has to integrate the detail-orientation of the specialist with the pattern-recognition of the generalist (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists). Scientists today attempt that integration, but it is not easy. The proliferation of multidisciplinary efforts in the past generation or two is definitely a step in the right direction. The ultimate union is going to be the scientist and the mystic, as consciousness is recognized as far more than some ephemeral byproduct of chemical reactions. But there is a holy war against that union taking place, such as Sheldrake's banning from TED (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=740177&viewfull=1#post740177), led by "skeptics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)."

Hi:
Here is another example of the kinds of discussions that I plan for the choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to engage in.
Q. Can we discuss the varying carrying capacities of Earth's environment during each Epochal Phase of the human journey?
A. Sure. I suppose that first, the idea of carrying capacity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_capacity) should be defined. In biology, it means the number of members of a species that can exist on a piece of Earth's surface area, which can also mean aquatic environments. The idea of carrying capacity is usually used today to describe the land's ability to support human life. What that really means is what ecosystems can provide in the way of food for humans. In order to begin to understand the idea of carrying capacity, the idea of where "food" comes from needs to be understood.
Grazing and predation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#grazing) predate the rise of complex life, and is the idea of life forms feeding on other life forms. So-called autotrophs do not do that, but most receive their energy from the Sun through photosynthesis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis1). Other autotrophs get their "food" (mainly energy) from inorganic chemicals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chemosynthesis). Very early in the journey of life on Earth, organisms (grazers) evolved to eat those autotrophs, and other organisms evolved to eat those grazers (predators), and life's arm's race began. Autotrophs constantly evolved to limit their vulnerability to grazers, and grazers constantly evolved to both overcome autotroph defenses while also developing their own defenses to predation. Predators constantly evolved ways to overcome grazer (and predators that were below them in the food chain) defenses, and increasing intelligence (encephalization) (as evidenced by growing brains) seems to have been a predatory strategy, to outsmart their prey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dinosaurbrains).
There have been many biological events in the journey of life on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) that increased Earth's carrying capacity, and perhaps the key one, as far as humans are concerned, was the appearance of flowering plants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers). Instead of defending themselves against animals, plants laid out a banquet for them, to reduce their energetic costs of reproduction. That led to primates appearing. To this day, the ultimate primate food is fruit. Some specialized in insects and leaves, but virtually all monkeys and apes are primarily fruit eaters (you will never see one turn it down :) ).
In the shrinking rainforests of the coming ice age, some "loser" chimps were forced away from the fruits of the rainforests (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#losers), dined on poorer fare and learned to eat roots and other parts of plants that they could digest in the woodlands and grasslands near the rainforests. That expanded the carrying capacity of Earth for primates, although only the human line explored it much. Some chimp dig roots, and most great apes eat meat at times, but it comprises a tiny part of their diets.
Those human-line apes that began to leave the trees (but they almost always slept in trees (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus) until Homo erectus appeared), and added scavenged predator kills, and when the human line invented stone tools about 2.6 million years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1), they were able to greatly enhance their food supply, and the human line's brain began to dramatically grow (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain). There were positive feedbacks as the growing human-lines brain and increasing intelligence allowed for inventing new ways to extract energy from the environment, and the Big One was the control of fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1). To this day, human civilization is based on the control of fire. Controlling fire was the human-line's most important energy innovation, and likely fueled the growing brain of the human line and led to the appearance of humans.
Fire also allowed for radical destruction of ecosystems for human benefit, and humans began burning forests with abandon about 50,000 years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fires). While it increased the land's human carrying capacity, it began driving plants and animals to extinction, and the Sixth Mass Extinction began about the same time (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna). Ever since, humans have increased the land's carrying capacity for humans while reducing it for all other species that humans did not find useful (and all competing human species were also driven to extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal)), and human short-sightedness often wrecked the land's carrying capacity, which led to collapsing civilizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climate1).
So, if we narrow down the definition of carrying capacity to Earth's ability to support humans, its carrying capacity under the hunter-gatherer lifestyle (after almost all the easy meat was rendered extinct) was about 10 million people, under an agricultural lifestyle, Earth's carrying capacity was about two billion people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carrying1), and under the industrial lifestyle, it is probably 10 billion or so, but if we wanted everybody to have a peasant lifestyle with industrialized farming, it might go as high as 20 billion. The human population never got to the carrying capacity for any Epochal Phase, as that would have meant the extinction of most all plants and animals other than what humans found useful. While it was easy meat that suffered the most when humanity expanded across the planet, in the domestication phase, the human predilection was a war against "pests" and "weeds." (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#auk) All competing plants and animals have been under siege since the Domestication Revolution, and even today, poor Third World farmers are leading the wrecking of habitat that is driving species to extinction. They have been forced to the margins by the industrial powers and are farming marginal lands that were refugia of marginalized animals, and mammals in particular.
One upshot of FE is that Earth's ecosystems would no longer be needed to provide human energy and materials, such as food (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#indoor) and wood (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#forest2). All food could be raised in indoor environments, almost anywhere in our solar system that we would want, so the thin and vulnerable ecosphere of Earth would no longer be under siege by humanity.
Even though hardly any human today can even imagine it, under an FE-based political-economy, harming Earth's ecosystems for human benefit would quickly be seen as being as barbaric as chattel slavery is today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas). If humans did not "need" to do it, they will quickly see its harm, and all scarcity-based and egocentric ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) will also quickly fade to oblivion, and humanity might begin to become a truly sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric).
When that happens, today's ideas of Earth's human carrying capacity, carbon footprint (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#footprint), and the like will become meaningless relics of a bygone Epoch of the human journey.

Hi:
Speaking of women "raping" teenage boys, I just saw this (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24786731/ex-ravens-cheerleader-charged-with-raping-15-year-old-boy%20-). I have a close relative who beat his infant son to death. Now, that was a crime, and about as high on the heinous scale as it gets. The cheerleader having sex with a teenage boy will get more coverage than the recent news that American drone attacks kill nearly 30 times as many people as are targeted (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/nov/24/-sp-us-drone-strikes-kill-1147). Notice how that is an article from the British media? When I surfed Yahoo! for a minute, I could not find any American media that reported those "collateral" deaths. Typical.
On a lighter note, when I went downstairs into my kitchen, I was shocked to see the attached scene.

Wade,
One has to look at himself as an American when confronted by such things as you write about in your essay about America.
I would say that patience is a great virtue in this regard.....
Why do 22 American service men and ex service men commit suicide every day?
Can you or could you explain the concept of guilt to me in terms of evolution or chemistry to me?
It seems to me to be more than a natural process...
Many in the community of evangelicals would call this an awareness of sin.....
You stated to me that your friend Dennis was about to commit suicide but did not do so. He choose religion instead. do you not think that to not explore his "religion" would be a mistake?
Not that it was in any way true but to try to understand a process?
I believe that the process is very old and we do not understand any of it...
I am currently watching a series on Star Trek talking about a humanity guided by a tech superior race called the Volcan and that intuition to break free of such....by the humans...
You have pointed out that their is no morality to evolution....and yet you point to some type of conscientious that might guide it...
Jesus said that the truth would set one free...
thanx wade...

Hi Nine:
Evolution, sentience, religion – big subjects, and I do not shrink from them in my work. I have a more mystical/scientific orientation, while somebody like Dennis has a Christian orientation, and his turn to religion was not at that moment when the voice spoke up in his head (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice). My experience has been that the voice does not identify itself. Everybody that I know and know of who had that voice only heard a voice, sometimes even one that they could physically hear (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#voice), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#voice)). Dennis calls his voice "God," but that is only because of his Christian orientation, I believe. Dennis was raised on fire-and-brimstone sermons as a child, at the migrant farmworker camps that he lived in.
While that voice in his head came at a dramatic time (as the voice always does), it was not until several years later that he turned to religion, during a debate on Utopian philosophy, when it hit him that humanity was unable to govern itself, so needed a "benevolent dictator" to guide things, and at that moment, he realized that the Bible was the one and only word of God, a manual written by that dictator, and humanity ignored it at its peril. Dennis is a literalist Christian who believes that the Bible has some kind of magical power. I have always been with Dennis in spite of his Christian worldview, not because of it, and I think that it has to do with his migrant farmworker childhood. To each his own, and the star that I steer by for any religious or spiritual teaching is if it is loving. Everything else pales to insignificance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#jesus). Dennis is the greatest human I ever met (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), but is still very human. He would have been great, no matter what his religion was.
I believe that Jesus was a mystical master second to none, but I consider literalist interpretations of the Bible (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales) to be misguided. I think that people can find wisdom in the Bible, and Jesus's words in particular (especially his Sermon on the Mount, which I understand is the closest thing to his actual teachings that has survived in the Bible), but it has more to do with the reader than the text, IMO. But all religions are based on scarcity and fear, as a means of social control, and all "sacred" texts of the world's organized religions are corruptions of enlightened perspectives by the professional priesthood (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1), to turn the teachings into rackets. That is how it works, in a world of scarcity.
I think that it is very legitimate to wonder about the nature of consciousness in the journey of life on Earth. I ask if there was love among the trilobites (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#trilobite1), but I certainly cannot answer the question in convincing fashion, and ask it more to help readers think about it. As I have written plenty, the energetic and reproductive imperative (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#liferequirements) is baked deeply into all life, including humanity. At least on land (cetaceans are another matter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#dolphins)), the human animal is something new, with its gigantic brain. We are allegedly a sentient species, and I have written plenty about our big brains (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=906059&viewfull=1#post906059) and how sentient we might actually be (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1).
I do not consider this experience by Michael Roads to be fiction (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). I know highly accomplished psychonauts who have had similar adventures. The way that I see it, choosing love is the greatest act of sentience that all humans are capable of, and is the path to becoming a truly sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience2). Roads also experienced a humanity living at the other end of the spectrum (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115). They had high technology too, but used it for extremely base ends, so "intelligence" and technology by themselves are only tools of our consciousness, or our souls, if you will. Our tools also made us (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toolset), however.
This broaches the predicament that humanity is in today. We are semi-sentient apes that have played the energy game at levels that no other animal ever has, and we threaten to inflict a mass extinction on the biosphere that could become the greatest in Earth's history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), which takes us with it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3). It is time to become a fully sentient species and reach new levels of playing the energy game, and in a way that is not only harmless, but helps heal the planet and our species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Organized religions are not going to help. Corporations and the rich are not going to help (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2). Governments are not going to help (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1). Environmentalists are not going to help (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists). "Progressives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm)" are not going to help. New Age "gurus" are not going to help (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage). Scientists are not going to help (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions). They are all committed to their frameworks and power and survival in a world of scarcity. They have all carved out their niches of hell and won’t budge. Brian mentioned how everybody "digs in their heels" (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#heels) as they protect their turf and see FE as a threat. All I can say to that is "Amen."
I seek extraordinary people who can lay aside their self-serving scarcity-based belief systems (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) for long enough so that they can simply comprehend abundance. I know that they are needles in haystacks (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but I have this new tool called the Internet to help me find them, and I have budgeted the rest of my lifetime's "spare" time to finding and training them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and we will see how it goes.

Hi:
A little post on humanity's biological imperatives, sentience, taboos, and other social dynamics. One realization that biological study can help with is deflating humanity's egocentric conceits (God's "Chosen People," Manifest Destiny (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#steal2), the flower of evolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#_edn6), etc.), and realize that humanity is "just another species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#another)." As I have stated, humanity's upright posture (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedskull) and huge brains (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain) are fairly new on the evolutionary scene, and we are still getting the hang of being sentient.
Sexual reproduction is a billion years old or so (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sex), and the diversity in sexual reproduction is pretty amazing. Early on in the journey of complex life on land, the game of "display (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#display1)" began to be played, which was a way of advertising one's reproductive fitness. Sexual reproduction was a way to speed up evolution, to survive complex life's arms race (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#size2), and many features of human sexuality are pretty hardwired traits that "worked" for complex life. Our standards of physical attractiveness are directly related to health and reproductive fitness, and "display" has been a central feature of human sexuality since before there were humans. Recent research has shown that all men, whether they are 16 or 65, are most attracted to women about 25 years of age, which is their reproductive "sweet spot." Women are attracted to economically powerful men (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nursing) who can provide for their children, whether it was the best hunter or richest executive.
The incest taboo is deeply baked into the human line as a way to prevent inbreeding, and all social animals have some kind of strategy that is deeply baked into their biology, and it is no different with humans. Even the male penchant to mate with "anything that moves" reflects the simian journey, in which males were only good for providing their genes to the reproductive process, so men have a biological predisposition to spread their genes as widely as possible, and women regularly "hedge their bet" and get male genes from somebody other than their "mate." The nuclear family is something new and economically conditioned, and I think that the nuclear family will become obsolete in the FE Epoch (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#family), and will be replaced with something far more enlightened.
But humans are supposedly a sentient species. We have already dramatically changed not only our evolutionary path (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit), but the paths of numerous other species, from domesticated plants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran) and animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goat) to the many species that we have already driven to extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), including all other human species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal). We can aim much higher than being driven by instincts and taboos. We can recognize their nature and the impulses, but I think that it is the mark of sentience that we are not ruled by them.
The FE issue can be very illuminating, when you interact with the world. Almost everybody reacts with fear and denial, as hard as that can be for FE newcomers to believe, as those newcomers see the potential for heaven on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), while 99.9% of the rest of humanity just sees their world coming to an end, and they react with fear, from the least "intelligent" to most "intelligent" among us. Again, it blows away FE newcomers to see that entrenched fear (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) and denial (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) coming from all directions, and for the few who get past that, they are greedy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), naïve (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level6), overcome by delusions of grandeur (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level11) and think that they are the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and so on. FE newcomers think that "progressives," or corporate America (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2), or the governments (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1), or so many who say that they seek answers could be nothing but excited by the prospect of FE. They get "excited" all right, and if FE proselytizers are not careful, that "excitement" can see them get burned at the stake. When FE newcomers see those reactions ad infinitum, the natural question arises: "Are humans really a sentient species? (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1)" I believe that when people react from fear, denial, greed, delusions of grandeur, and the like, they are not acting like sentient beings, but just playing their deeply baked survival programs, like any other instinct. Oh, they can string sentences together and seem "smart," but all that is happening is limbic system conditioning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#limbic1) playing out through the cerebral cortex. If that is sentience, then sentience does not mean much (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive).
Humanity is at the cusp of becoming a truly sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), but it will be up to a tiny fraction of humanity to lead the way. If it will not be my effort (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), it will be another, but the masses will not be reached by talk (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli), but by experiencing what the Epoch of Sentience can look like. It is all based on energy, as it always has been (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents).

Hi:
This is another choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, that idea of energy surplus being the true measure of a society's wealth is new to me. Can you help me wrap my head around it better?
A: Sure. The fact that it is new to you is a demonstration of how effective our indoctrination and propaganda systems are. Hardly anybody on Earth today even understands the relationship between energy and economic production, and this is an area where I will credit various "conspiratorial" musings, as history's greatest energy mogul and richest man funded the institution that dominates economic thought even today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economy3), which makes energy invisible and portrays economic activity as some purely social function enabled by the magic of free markets. There has never been a free market in world history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear), and scientists have no respect for the monetary approach to economics, as the financial economy is not real (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#realeconomy), but an elaborate fiction that serves ruling class interests. As long as people focus on the financial economy, they will never begin to understand how the world really works.
But to really understand the role of an energy surplus, it is most profitable to take a scientific view and first see the importance of an energy surplus in biological systems. Basically, an energy surplus is everything (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nicheenergy). On an individual or species level, the organisms with the highest energy surpluses thrive, while those with the least surplus die off, and when that is characteristic of a species, it will go extinct. Energy surplus underlies the concept of resilience (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#resilience), which means coping with the vagaries of life on Earth. Organisms with an energy surplus can weather the storm, such as a bad year for growth, such as a long winter, short growing season, or drought. A plant that has enough energy stored in its organism can better contend with the challenges that can come.
As soon as plants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lignin) and animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#size2) could, those that could generate a big energy surplus grew large, investing that surplus energy in their biology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#budget), which led to enhanced survival. That strategy eventually backfired when humans arrived on the scene, as they could plunder biological energy reserves like nothing else ever did. They quickly drove the world's large animals to extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) and all competing human species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal), and they eventually engaged in rampant deforestation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#silt1).
After humans drove all the easy meat to extinction, in places where they could, they domesticated plants and animals, which allowed for a greatly expanded human population, but the energy systems did not exist to produce a great energy surplus. Farming led to civilization (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#agciv), and the thin agricultural energy surplus was skimmed by the first elites (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear), the first professions developed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions), and much of what we call civilization appeared due to that thin surplus.
But the process was not sustainable. While it led to a short-term energy surplus that sustained the first civilizations, it also depleted the energy sources, which were primarily fertile soils and forests (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy), so all early civilizations ran out of that energy and collapsed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses), and they collapsed for the same reason that complex ecosystems collapse (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#prehuman). The interrelationship between the "moving parts" of a civilization or ecosystem needs energy to run it, and the energy hierarchy (food chain in ecosystems, and social hierarchies in civilization) collapses when the energy runs out.
Today, in industrial civilization, the energy surplus would be anything beyond the food calories that a human consumes. Americans consume 80 times the energy that goes into their diets (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave), and because half of that energy goes into running machines, which are about ten times as effective at working with a unit of energy as a human is, the average American is riding on the back of the equivalent of hundreds of "energy slaves" that feed off of that surplus energy. Those energy-powered machines perform 99.9% of all the physical work in an industrial society. That surplus energy powering machines is the basis for the standard of living in industrialized societies. People perform almost none of the work, although they are deluded into thinking that they do, as they do not understand the relationship between energy and economic production (mostly work, using the physics definition (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#work)).
As you can tell, there has been no mention of money yet, because it is not real. It is only a social accounting concept. Money is an artificial concept, but when people think that money is real, then Godzilla's social managers have the game well in hand. Some financial concepts can help people understand the real world, but really, people need to understand the real world, first, and the financial world second, as it is merely an imperfect mirror of the real world. If FE makes it past the organized suppression (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) and humanity's inertia, then virtually all financial concepts will become meaningless (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric) and money will cease to exist.
Just like early civilizations burned through their energy supplies and collapsed, industrial civilization is doing the same thing today. The USA's energy consumption per capita peaked during its first energy crisis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert) and has declined since then. It is no accident that it happened a few years after it reached peak oil production, and the world reached peak oil production back in 2005-2006 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), and the sled run to oblivion has begun (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).
Financial measures only reflect the physical reality, and usually poorly, and an example to provide some perspective to those who think in financial terms is that American wages have about doubled in financial terms since 1970, while gasoline is nearly 20 times more expensive, and housing is about 10 times as expensive (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#realeconomy). I received a free college education, and those days are long gone in the USA. The concept of discretionary income is probably the closest thing to energy surplus (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#discretionary), and discretionary income is vanishing among the USA's withering middle class. As the global industrial economy begins to collapse, there has been a class war between the capital and working classes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#racetobottom), but it is like fighting over the deck chairs on the Titanic. The ultra-elites that control free energy technology today are generally on the dark spiritual path (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), and destroying a planet was only seen in their circles as a side-effect of their power games, and some plan to terraform Mars as their ultimate survival enclave (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars), but sanity might prevail (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal). A sleeping humanity that has abdicated its sentience for the promise of security is almost effortlessly manipulated by the social managers, but a sentient populace living with a huge and sustainable energy surplus (AKA "abundance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance)"), will not be amenable to those elite manipulations, and that, more than any other reason, is why free energy and related technologies have been suppressed and sequestered like they have (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground).
In a future post, I will explore the dimensions of how an energy surplus is generated, and that will get into concepts (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyconcepts) such as total energy availability, energy return on investment, and other factors which determine a society's energy surplus.
Time for chores.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Could we further explore the idea of surplus energy for humanity and how it is generated?
A: Sure. Several energy concepts need to be understood (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyconcepts), to understand surplus energy. The first is total available energy. Stars are the source of all energy used on Earth today (other than the zero-point field (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf)). The Sun's energy is the source for almost all energy used on Earth today, and the energy of radioactivity was provided by the supernova that made the heavy elements in our solar system. Sunlight energy is captured by photosynthesis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis1), and is how virtually all energy enters Earth's ecosystems. That energy influx will continue while there are still ecosystems on Earth. The human line began tapping the energy of stored sunlight when it learned to control fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), which greatly increased the total energy available to the human line. When the Domestication Revolution began (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian), humans began to tap solar energy on a previously unknown scale, which increased Earth's carrying capacity for humans by more than a hundred times (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#population1).
The Industrial Revolution began (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke) when humans began to tap a new energy source, which was the energy stored in trees (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coal1) before life forms evolved to digest it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#whiterot). It greatly increased humanity's available energy. 150 years after coal energy began to be tapped for industry, humans learned to tap oil, which was formed from anoxic oceanic events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oilformation), and humanity again greatly increased its total available energy. Gas was originally "waste" gas that was burned off at oil wells, but is the other fossil fuel used today, and coal, oil, and gas comprise 85% of the energy used by humanity today in industrial civilizations. Just like humanity wiped out the easy meat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused), which led to the Domestication Revolution, and how humanity wiped out the forests and soils, which led to collapsing civilizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses), humanity is quickly burning through fossil fuels and all other energy resources (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), and total energy availability is falling off the cliff. By the end of this century, the oil and gas will be gone, and coal and hydrocarbons that never became oil will be the only fossil fuels left, and coal will have also likely reached its peak extraction rate, and even peak uranium extraction may have already been reached.
The total energy available is only one portion of the equation of generating surplus energy. Another concept is that of Energy Return on Investment (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroi) ("EROI"), and understanding that helps illuminate the folly of the current "boom" in shale oil, fracking, mining the tar sands (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands), and other marginal hydrocarbons. In the 1920s, when East Texas oil was the mother lode of oil production, for every barrel of oil invested in extraction, more than 100 barrels were produced, which led to an EROI of more than 100. Those days are long gone in the USA. Today, world oil production is still nearly 40, thanks to the easy oil in the Middle East, but the USA's oil production EROI is half that and falling fast. That shale oil, which has been the focus of an American "boom," has an EROI of around two. There has been a lot of hoopla in the USA about becoming "energy independent" in the USA, but all of that shale oil and fracked gas has abysmally low EROIs (http://www.alternativesjournal.ca/community/blogs/current-events/frackings-return-investment-myth).
To turn that into money terms, so it makes more sense to some readers, the cost of extraction of Middle East oil is a few dollars per barrel. It is $40 and more for those "new" sources of oil and gas in the current craze. For most of those "new" sources that are being exploited today, oil needs to be priced at more than $100 per barrel to make it profitable. The USA has helped create a glut as I write this, and there is a bit of a price war happening. Oil is trading below $70 as I write this, which will make most of the unconventional oil economically unviable. The business press puts it in terms of money, but what it really reflects is the low EROI of such energy resources. So, for an EROI energy source of two, for every 100 units of energy extracted, 50 units are spent extracting them. That means that the surplus energy delivered is cut in half, if we compare those marginal sources today versus that East Texas oil of the 1920s. EROIs have been plunging worldwide, as all the easy and plentiful hydrocarbons are long gone, other than Middle East oil, which completely explains why the West has been meddling in the area and invading for the past century (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). The genocides that the USA has been inflicting (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) in that part of the world are not measured in the EROI calculations, but should be, and if the USA ignites World War III (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) over its military adventures in Hydrocarbon Country, what kind of EROI do you put on an energy source that humanity destroys itself fighting over? That also does not include catastrophes such as the Gulf Horizon oil spill, Fukushima (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#catastrophes), and turning parts of Canada into Mordor (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands). About one-third (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-30/imploding-energy-sector-responsible-third-sp-500-capex) of the Fortune 500's capital expenditures today are for hydrocarbon mining operations.
The developers of the EROI concept think that an EROI of close to 10 is necessary for an industrial civilization to run (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroimin), and global EROI is quickly declining to that threshold.
So, total energy availability and the EROI of extracting it are important variables in computing surplus energy, but they are not the only ones. Also, the efficiency of turning those energy resources into work is also a key measure for determining surplus energy. Today, about two-thirds of the energy burned by hydrocarbons creates heat, much of it wasted, and only about a third is turned into work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#industrial). It has not changed much in my lifetime.
Another concept for understanding surplus energy is how efficiently that energy can be transported to where it is used. There have been improvements over the years for that (such as using alternating current instead of direct current (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tesla1)), but with the increasingly marginal sources of energy and the costs to extract them, transmission costs are increasing as those sources are increasingly far-flung. Huge pipeline projects are proposed today in Canada (http://globalresearch.ca/tar-sands-natural-gas-fracking-pipelines-the-fossil-fuel-wars-in-british-columbia-and-canada/5362551), to get the tar sands oil to market, and train lines are also being put into service, which have had spills, and those are all transmission costs.
So, all of those concepts come into play for calculating a society's surplus energy. As can be seen, total available energy is declining (nobody is making more hydrocarbon fuels), is being depleted at record rates, and peak extraction rates have already been reached for conventional oil (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), which is Earth's most coveted energy source. EROI is sharply declining, transmission costs are increasing, and efficiency of producing work from those energy sources has been stagnant. That all adds up to declining surplus energy, and the USA's energy consumption per capita peaked with the first energy crisis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), and has declined ever since, just as the USA's standard of living has declined, and is a preview of what is going to happen to the rest of industrial civilization (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline).
As noted in the previous post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=907399&viewfull=1#post907399), energy surplus means resilience, and as energy surplus declines, so will a civilization's resilience (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#resilience). What the means is that a shock that may have created some discomfort in a more resilient society can lead to a collapse in a less resilient society. Although there was nobody around to measure it in a scientific manner long ago, the leading hypothesis for those ancient societal collapses is that their surplus energy declined to the point where a shock became disruptive (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#collapse1), such as a drought or poor harvest, and the civilization collapsed, and the moment of collapse (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#tainter) was when hungry urban professionals left the cities to find food. Industrial civilization is teetering in that direction today, and in the USA, urban environments are collapsing, such as what we see in cities such as Detroit (http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/25-facts-about-the-fall-of-detroit-that-will-leave-you-shaking-your-head).
I live in a high tech center in the Pacific Northwest, and Seattle will not become a ghost town anytime soon, but I regularly talk to refugees from cities in the East. A few weeks ago, I talked with a man who escaped Detroit in the past decade, as he told me of his home being invaded and his grandfather, who had lived in Detroit for his entire life and was not about to move, was shot during that invasion, and he never recovered from the wounding. Detroit could be seen as an evil place that is getting its just deserts (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904660&viewfull=1#post904660), as the USA could be seen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers), but it is a preview of what the world will experience as we run out of hydrocarbon energy. Of course, it does not have to be this way (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and I am doing what I can to avert the catastrophe, but almost nobody on Earth sees what is coming or cares. But I only need a tiny fraction of the awake and the awakening for my plan to work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), and we will see how it goes.

I live near Detroit and have driven past many of the now abandoned and dilapidated structures. It's quite surreal and cathartic to witness nature reclaiming conquered territory first hand, and in this sense I don't mean "nature" just in terms of plants or animals, but rather the overall flow of the Tao.

Hey Wade,
I just came across a lovely passage in Helena Blavatsky's ISIS Unveiled (Vol. 1) (http://www.hermetics.org/pdf/theosophy/H.P._Blavatsky_-_Isis_Unveiled_V_I.pdf) that I wish to share. I was quite taken aback at the simplicity of the idea, and think it will interest you. The whole sub-chapter "The Quenchless Lamp" is worth checking out and has to do with evidence of ever-burning lamps found hidden in abandoned caves, but this passage especially caught my eye:
"The circulation of the blood and the law of gravitation are clearly mentioned, though the former fact, it may be, is not so clearly defined as to withstand the reiterated attacks of modern science; for according to Prof. Jowett, the specific discovery that the blood flows out at one side of the heart through the arteries, and returns through the veins at the other, was unknown to him, though Plato was perfectly aware "that blood is a fluid in constant motion." (The Quenchless Lamp, p. 211).
It's quite brilliant, really. The blood that circulates within our body is a perpetual motion system, not unlike modes of Free Energy. Right in our own bodies we exemplify the reality of Free Energy! All that we need is to supply our blood with oxygen and vital nutrients from food stuffs, but both are abundant and can be obtained from nature through sustainable means. ;)
Sure, the heart does die some day of fatigue, but the energy from the decayed body is taken up by other species who also have blood being perpetually circulated in their bodies. So really, the Earth itself is a perpetual motion system, and if one follows the wise teachings of Native Americans and other spiritual tribes, we are all interconnected, much like the cells that make up one grand organism, called Gaia.
If one wants to prove the viability of Free Energy to a skeptic, just tell them: "Your own body is a perpetual motion machine, so why cannot this same system apply to a macro scale if our bodies were born of this Earth in this universe?"

Hi:
More choir Q&A:
Q. Hi Wade. You write a lot about the "laws of physics" objection to FE, and could you expand on how unorthodox FE theory really is?
A: Sure. That is a great topic. First, as Brian O said, there are not really any "laws of physics," but just theories. To use the term "laws" invests science with the certitude of a religion, and science is supposed to be about doubt, not certitude.
As far as the theories that deny the possibility of FE, there have been plenty of orthodox scientists, some of world-renown, who have argued that FE was certainly possible. Einstein himself, before quantum physics was invented, said that his general theory of relativity made the "ether" relevant again (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf1), which his special theory of relativity supposedly made obsolete. Einstein's protégé, David Bohm, made that calculation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bohm) of the nearly infinite energy in the "vacuum."
The implications of the quantum enigma, in which light acts like a particle or a wave, depending on the observer, is quantum physics's "skeleton in the closet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#skeleton)." Einstein was very unsatisfied with the implications of quantum theory, and students of his day were purposely steered away from the implications (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#skipped) by their professors. John von Neumann argued that consciousness was required to collapse the waveforms into particles (vonneumann). Einstein, Bohm, von Neumann…those were not exactly obscure fringe theorists. Even materialist philosophers have argued that atoms have consciousness (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#materialist).
So, the very foundational theories of physics that might arguably deny FE's possibility have pretty big problems, and there is plenty of room for arguing that the zero-point field is viable enough to farm energy from, and maybe a lot. The very same shaky foundation challenges the idea that consciousness is merely a byproduct of brain chemistry. Again, all that science knows exists are consciousness and energy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#consciousness). So, with the bedrock of physics that unsettled, talk of the "laws of physics" is ludicrous on its face.
A reasonable scientist would want experimental evidence of the non-corporeal nature of consciousness (since it is a non-physical phenomenon to begin with, that does not seem too tall a task and even a kind of nonsensical goal :) ), and evidence of energy being farmed from the "vacuum." There is plenty of scientific evidence (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#psi) that consciousness is far more than the mere byproduct of chemical reactions, but what is infinitely more convincing than any scientific evidence that can be amassed is having direct personal experience, and that is not hard to achieve, as I discovered at age 16 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), as have millions of others. There is a hazard of attaining that experience, however, for scientists, as they can become so disenchanted with dead, mechanistic physics that they leave the field, as Brian did (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote). Many mainstream scientific careers came to an end when scientists had those experiences. I have even tapped the zero-point field with my mind many times, and did things such as mummify fruit (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#tomato) with that energy. Brian performed similar experiments (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#vogel) using crystal energy and love. I have also had "hot hands (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hands1)" experiences as I worked on healing people. Those are easy realms to explore for sincere investigators.
On the FE front, this is a more difficult area to satisfy mainstream scientists, as the evidence is subjected to history's greatest cover-up. The FE cover-up is related to the UFO/ET cover-up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), and Brian nearly lost his life (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack) when he poked into the UFO phenomenon, immediately after rejecting an "offer" from the American military to perform classified UFO work. Brian knew about 25 dead FE inventor stories (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), and I was a central figure in one of history's most spectacular FE snuff jobs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit). My partner barely survived the experience (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), and many wrecked and prematurely ended lives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey) attended our adventures.
Few of my fellow travelers really began their journeys pursuing FE, but our paths eventually led there. Also, we discovered that FE technology, as well as antigravity and other "exotic" technologies, have been around for longer than I have been alive (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). The technologies are very real, as are their organized suppression and sequestering. Mainstream scientists can scoff, but until they get out of their easy chairs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#circular) and actually pursue FE technology or try to bring disruptive technology to the marketplace (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run), they will never learn any differently and will sit naively in their soft berths in academia and the corporate world. That kind of naïveté is endemic among scientists, which Bucky Fuller noted (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive). When one of his protégés invented an FE prototype (http://projectearth.com/about/mission-statement?id=10), Bucky knew that there would be hell to pay, and he was right.
Sparky Sweet's tale (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) is one of the best examples of what happens when an establishment scientist pursues FE and gets somewhere. His gizmo produced one million times as much energy as went into it and even produced antigravity effects, and Sparky mailed working prototypes to the big energy institutions, expecting a tickertape parade. The opposite happened, and after the final death threats were delivered, Sparky went into hiding the desert, where Brian visited him a week before Sparky died (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky) of a "heart attack." Sparky's device was solid-state and would win most, if not all, FE device competitions, but the phenomenon of ice forming on it as it ran is far from unusual, and is one of the best indicators of harnessing the zero-point field. One of James Gilliland's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm) associates built an FE prototype that also had ice form on it as it worked, and he was subjected to the standard cloak-and-dagger suppression tactics. I have quite a few fellow travelers who paid dearly for inventing working FE prototypes (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647). It really just comes with the territory, but naïve scientists who just punch the clock each day will never know differently.
I try to not laugh when I hear the "laws of physics" objection to FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), and I really have no interest anymore in trying to blast through that kind of denial. They will begin to understand when FE is delivered into their lives, and not before. And those who dismiss evidence of organized suppression as a "conspiracy theory" also are not reachable, and that includes nearly all mainstream scientists and academics.
In finishing, any scientist worth two cents knows that declaring anything "impossible" is the height of foolishness, particularly on topics such as FE.

Wade

Hi Enishi:
Yes, nature can make pretty short work of humanity's structures, especially those made of wood. In recent years, I have seen many presentations of abandoned American buildings, such as here (http://www.abandonedamerica.us/) and here (http://www.featureshoot.com/2014/10/modern-american-ruins-photographed-by-rob-dobi/). Of course, one of my dreams is to "recycle" almost all manmade structures on Earth today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities). Almost none of them would survive in a world based on FE, kind of like almost nobody lives in caves today. Manhattan Island could be turned back into forest.
Hi Robin:
Bucky Fuller was into Theosophy, and I have read many accounts of supposedly advanced technology found in caves and the like. I do not know the truth of those claims. Any "everlasting" lamp is tapping the zero-point field (or Earth's fields which are likely powered by sunlight, such as the electric potential between the ionosphere and the ground), but a heart does not. Funny on the heart analogy, as I recently wrote about an ancient Chinese manuscript (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mdaq.htm#introduction) written about the same time as Plato about the heart's circulation. But the conception of the heart as a muscle to pump blood through the body was not posed until the 1600s (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#harvey). A heart is a "perpetual motion" machine only like an automobile engine would be. It is the energy that makes it run, and if it runs out of energy, it stops. A car's energy source is obviously gasoline, which is ancient sunlight (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oilformation), while a heart runs off of the sugar provided by food (the immediate source is ATP (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#atp)), which also comes from sunlight. The Sun is the source of all energy used on Earth, except for nuclear energy, which came from the previous star in our galactic vicinity (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=907621&viewfull=1#post907621), and the zero-point field (and tidal energy can ignore the Sun's influence, kind of).
One concept that I present in my big essay is where chemical energy comes from (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orbit). Any FE "skeptic," at least a skeptic who is scientifically literate, is always going to ask, "Where does the energy come from?" My post yesterday (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=907725&viewfull=1#post907725) addresses the question. Basically, "empty" space is not so empty, and technologies have been developed to tap the energy in that "emptiness." Einstein's protégé calculated that it was a virtually limitless energy source. That idea has generated plenty of scientific controversy, but I happen to know of technologies that have tapped that energy resource. If "free-lancers" such as Sparky Sweet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) or Mark Comings (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647) or Adam Trombly (http://projectearth.com/about/mission-statement?id=10) did it, there was hell to pay. If you are on the inside, however, FE is a neat toy to play with (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Jeane Manning has collected dozens of names that have been used over the years to describe the zero-point field (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=846910&viewfull=1#post846910). Maybe Blavatsky's term is one of those. I really have not read much Theosophy, and kind of lost interest in channeled work over the years. Oh, channeling is a legit phenomenon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=260477&viewfull=1#post260477), as I discovered, but what I am most interested in is channeling that can lead to new discoveries in this reality. There really is not much of that out there, but it is what I am most interested in anymore.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Hi Wade. How accurate and relevant are those reconstructions of ancient oxygen and carbon dioxide levels?
A: That is a great question that can lead into many areas, and I guess that we can start with the accuracy. As you can see in that chart as of about a decade ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#geocarbsulf), the error fields around oxygen throughout the eon of complex life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phanerozoic), and for carbon dioxide before 400 million years ago, are fairly wide. Other models have derived different reconstructions (http://lgmacweb.env.uea.ac.uk/ajw/Reprints/Bergman_Lenton_Watson_AmJSci_2004.pdf), and I will be very curious to see what future work derives. Those models are built based on computer models of known dynamics that would affect those levels, combined with the results of testing chemical signatures in rocks and sediments. There are a number of indirect methods of measuring ancient carbon dioxide and oxygen levels.
That said, there is general agreement on a few key trends (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalcarbon). Carbon dioxide was once the primary atmospheric gas, as we see on Venus today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#venus). Atmospheric water absorbs carbon dioxide and forms a weak acid, and when it falls to earth, that acid reacts with rock and carbon replaces silicon. Volcanoes belch carbon dioxide into the air. That forms the two key dynamics of the carbon cycle, and the third is what life does. Photosynthesis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis1) removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and makes the sugars from it that power life. Respiration (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#respiration) releases 99.99% that carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, but that 0.01% has resulted in around 26,000 times more organic carbon being buried in Earth than exists in today's biosphere (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carboniferous1).
So, the trend of reducing the atmosphere's carbon dioxide levels is billions of years old, and carbon dioxide levels have dramatically fallen during the eon of complex life. The levels are also thought to have seesawed, and when the levels were brought down far enough, it precipitated ice ages, and there have been some doozies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceagetable). Our current ice age is relatively modest, and its ultimate cause is thought to be declining carbon dioxide levels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#icehouse1), which have fallen pretty steadily for more than 100 million years. This is thought to be because volcanism has declined, primarily because of the decline in radioactivity within Earth, as primordial radioactive elements decay. Plate tectonics are slowing, and it is thought that in about a billion years or so, plate tectonics will largely cease (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lifeends), the carbon cycle will end, and Earth will first lose its complex life, and then all life, as Earth goes through its life cycle, and Earth will eventually look like Mars, a dead planet with no oceans and no geological activity.
When those dynamics are understood, the current "debate" over Global Warming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) is ludicrous. No scientist will argue against the idea that carbon dioxide traps radiation and raises Earth's surface temperature. Humanity's cavalier burning of hydrocarbon fuels is playing with the ultimate reason for today's Icehouse Earth conditions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). The last time that Earth went from icehouse to greenhouse conditions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianwarming), Earth experienced its greatest extinction event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction). Humanity is toying with artificially inducing a Greenhouse Earth, which would be calamitous for Earth's ecosystems (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). The greatest extinction event since the dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction) was when Earth began cooling down into its present Icehouse Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mideocene), and a sudden change to Greenhouse Earth conditions will disrupt all of Earth's ecosystems and a vast mass extinction will take place, which could take humanity with it. So, the implications of currently increasing carbon dioxide levels, and the impacts in the past, are areas of intense investigation today. Climate scientists are terrified about what humanity is inflicting on today's atmosphere and where it might lead. A scientifically illiterate public and compliant media (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), working on behalf of the Hydrocarbon Lobby (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sold), have created a "debate" where none should exist. It is similar to the crazy "debates" over evolution. Evolution is a fact of life that only religious fundamentalists can deny, kind of like how some of them embrace Flat Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth) "theory." Evolution does not make materialism valid (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical1), either, but denying evolution is another position that the scientifically illiterate swallow in their ignorance.
Oxygen levels over Earth's history have also been a source of a great deal of research and battling hypotheses. Oxygen is a highly reactive substance, and Earth is the only place discovered in our solar system that hosts atmospheric oxygen, because it is the only place where photosynthesis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis1) happens. If all photosynthesis stopped, Earth would lose all of its oxygen in several thousand years and the only life would be anaerobic microbes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aerobic), as it was billions of years ago. As with carbon dioxide, scientists agree on some key trends. Earth's atmosphere did not have appreciable oxygen in it until after a billion years of photosynthesis, and then the Great Oxygenation Event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenation) began. That event may have precipitated the first ice age (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huronian), but oxygen levels are considered to have been only a few percent of the atmosphere, at most, until less than a billion years ago, when the levels dramatically rose to modern levels. That they dramatically rose is not really disputed, but how they did, and what the impact on the rise of complex life was, is heatedly debated today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#canfield2). It is another area of controversy that I will follow with great interest. Unlike carbon dioxide levels, oxygen levels are not changing dramatically today and their present and future levels do not concern scientists, as far as humanity's and the ecosphere's welfare goes. Humanity may artificially induce anoxic oceans (as we are already doing, with the hypoxic dead zones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_zone_%28ecology%29)), which could induce catastrophic hydrogen sulfide events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#medean3), but none of that is related to atmospheric oxygen levels.
However, the role of oxygen in evolution, and particularly the evolution of complex life and its role in mass extinction events, is a major controversy today in paleobiological circles. Peter Ward wrote a book on the possible role of oxygen in evolution (wardoxygen), and there is lively debate on it. His proposals are sprinkled throughout my big essay (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#romer1), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carrier1), 3 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#triassicextinction)), and I greatly look forward to digesting the scientific findings relating to those oxygen issues. It is more than idle curiosity, although people could note that there does not seem to be a direct relationship between oxygen levels, evolution, and free energy. However, becoming familiar with the evidence and hypotheses really helps develop that comprehensive perspective that will be needed for my "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)" idea to work. Familiarity with those concepts, and understanding the nature of the debates and ongoing scientific investigation, is a great way to help develop comprehensive perspectives.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Hi Wade. This issue of dual use of biological innovations is fascinating. How might it relate to FE?
A: Hey, some might ask if you are a ringer that I invited in, and that is right down my alley. :) Yes, indeed, the often-times dual nature of biological innovation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dualuse) can be seen as reflected in the Epochal nature of humanity's energy events. Any new biological feature appeared as a result of need and opportunity, such as eyes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vision). If not for the confluence of circumstances and the appearance of an organism that did not have to modify itself all that much to adapt to it, those changes would not have happened. And only later was another use for that new biological feature "discovered." The history of life on Earth is full of those situations. The growth in the mammalian (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsdevelop) and primate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#primate1) brains, combined with "loser" chimps (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit) that migrated from the rainforest out of necessity and opportunity, eventually led to humanity, as one innovation after another ended up seeing new use. The human brain is seen that way, in that it likely grew large (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain) to assist with social navigation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#macaquewar) and was later used for advanced tool-making, which was always about maximizing the energy surplus (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=907399&viewfull=1#post907399).
Each time that humanity tapped a new energy source, the events leading up to it can be discerned, from walking upright (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedskull) freeing hands for better dexterity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hand) and tool-making (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1) to the extinction of all the easy meat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1) to the dearth of charcoal for iron smelting (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke) in a deforested (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#domesday) and an industrializing England (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sussex). For each event, the inventor(s) arrived at a historical moment of necessity and opportunity, and made the energy breakthrough to satisfy some immediate need. Only later, and sometimes much later, were the multiple further uses of that new energy source discovered and explored. The pioneers literally had no idea what their innovation would lead to (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). So, the future use of a new biological feature is a very close cousin to how new energy technologies became used far beyond the inventor's intent.
I have written plenty about sentience (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) and how far along on the sentience curve that humanity might be, and I suppose that it is in keeping with humanity's rising sentience that for the energy breakthrough that humanity is on the cusp of (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), some of us are imagining the applications and implications of the new technology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and taking it much further than anybody ever did before any other Epochal Event. Maybe humanity will finally become a truly sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric) if FE makes its public appearance.

Wade

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Hi Wade. Could we discuss Darwin's descent with modification theory and convergent evolution?
A: That is a huge, important subject, and has also been applied to human phenomena such as languages, civilizations, and religions. Descent with modification is the core of Darwin's theory, and 150 years after he proposed it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_%28biology%29#Darwin.27s_tree_of_life), biology's Tree of Life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_%28biology%29) still has the basic structure that Darwin envisioned, and all life on Earth today is considered to have descended from one organism billions of years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca). More than 150 years of fossil hunters spending their lives on their hands and knees, molecular biological investigations, and new tools and techniques coming into use and becoming ever more sophisticated, and nobody has discovered even one convincing exception to the idea of descent with modification. Scientists have also applied the descent with modification idea to behavioral traits, both human and non-human. Many human traits are inheritances from our primate line, and some traits go back a billion years, such as sexual reproduction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sex).
Many key features of life on Earth are currently considered to have happened once, with one organism, and everything with that feature is considered to be descended from that organism, such as the first microbe to split water for photosynthesis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis2), the animal with the first eye (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vision), and other key features of life on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#uniquetable).
Convergent evolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#convergent) is when two different lineages develop similar biological features, usually to solve similar biological problems (primarily survival and reproduction). Ankylosaurs and glyptodonts (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#glyptodont) are a startling case of convergent evolution. The concept of ecological guilds (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#guild) often shows how convergent evolution works. In the era of molecular biology and DNA testing (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dna), many features in seemingly divergent animals were rethought as convergent evolution rather than inheritance, and vice versa.
For human biological features, behaviors, and even institutions, the ideas of inheritance and convergent evolution have been applied, and there is obviously great controversy, especially as we are talking about ourselves. Before the rise of DNA testing, the idea of human universals was proposed, which implies that the human population ancestral to today's humanity had those traits (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up). I have seen the idea of human inherited universals dismissed as a crazy idea, but when DNA testing started being used on humans, it became evident that all of humanity today is descended from a population of only a few thousand individuals, and only a few hundred left Africa around 60,000 years ago, and virtually all humans living outside sub-Saharan Africa are descended from that founder group of a few hundred (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founders), and the idea of universal human traits descended from the humanity of 60,000 years ago became far more likely. Which are convergent and which are inherited, and which are truly universal, is the source of plenty of controversy.
That DNA testing also identified the peoples who have been the most isolated (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#negrito) since that momentous event 60,000 years ago, and they all had similar religions, with singing and dancing rituals that lasted all night long (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing), which formed the social cohesion needed to prevail in violent conflict with their neighbors. Also, those isolated peoples in sub-Saharan Africa also had language similarities, such as click consonants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kung), which likely means that humanity's language of 60,000 years ago sounded like that. Linguists have constructed language "trees" which show that they descended into what we see today, and a similar process has been done for religions. When FE makes its appearance and geographical isolation ends, I expect that there will be one "race (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations)," one language, one government, probably even one "religion" (which will look nothing like anything today), one technological and energetic base, and so on. But there will nothing coercive about any of it, because abundance will reign (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
When civilization began to appear about 50,000 years after that founder group's exit from Africa (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit), in probably four places independently (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1), a professional priesthood arose that stamped out the ancient rituals and began to base religion on belief indoctrination that always elevated the new elite to divine status (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1). That appears to be a case of convergent evolution, as those first civilizations had no contact with each other. Those early civilizations had other traits in common, which reflected universal human traits that encountered similar circumstances and crafted similar "solutions" (male dominated, monumental architecture, harems, armies, etc.).
Currently, there is great controversy over when humans first controlled fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1). The dates are being rolled back, and I will not be surprised if the date gets rolled back to two million years, and I believe it quite likely that that momentous event happened just once, and all human species (and maybe even australopiths (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbit)) learned it from that one Epochal event.
Those ideas of inheritance or independent invention can be applied to innumerable aspects of humanity's social, ideological, and technical traits. It is a fascinating area of study.
On the FE front, there have been many "convergent" FE efforts, which independently tapped the zero-point field, and the suppression and sequestering of disruptive energy technology is to a degree also convergent, as capitalistic racketeers everywhere react in similar fashion to threats to revenues and profits (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), although there is certainly a global level of the game (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) that is far more sophisticated and subtle than those lower levels.
Anyway, it is all quite an area of study, and is one more way that biological studies have been applied to human behavior.

Wade

Hi:
Taking a little choir break. :)
I do not know how many have followed what is happening, but as the USA got into shale oil and gas fracking, it has doubled its gross "oil" output in the past several years. Calling it "oil" is a misnomer, as that stuff is not conventional oil, but the low-EROI dregs of America's hydrocarbons (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dregs), like Canada's tar sands (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands). In the USA, there has been a "boom" in shale oil and natural gas fracking, and all of the "alternative" energy investment in the USA has gone into those operations for the past several years. It looks like there might be a repeat of the subprime scandal of 2008 (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/financialized-oil12-14.html) which triggered a collapse of the global financial system.
I have been telling pals for years that it is going to be a very short-lived "boom." It looks like the boom is ending, and quickly, as oil sells for under $70 per barrel today, and most of those operations were only profitable if oil stayed above $100 per barrel. It looks like there is a price war happening with a temporary glut, brought on by a global recession that has begun. The world's central banks (the USA's Federal Reserve, the European, Japanese, and Chinese central banks), have printed money like crazy to try to paper over the deep structural problems (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming), and it will end how all money-printing frenzies have ended.
This guy is a Peak Oiler (http://www.oftwominds.com/blog.html) but is very astute, and just wrote a nice three-part series on what this oil swoon may mean (1 (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/oil-black-swan12-14.html), 2 (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/financialized-oil12-14.html), 3 (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/oil-risk12-14.html)). Big trouble, dead ahead.
I am not an insider, but I doubt that these issues are much concern for Godzilla. He plays at a higher level, and as long as "alternative energy" investment is in shale oil, fracking, and tar sands, he has the game well in hand.
So, today was an energy day for me, aside from FE, and I did a little snooping into areas where I have not snooped for a while, and saw this article on the low-grade nuclear waste dump in New Mexico (http://enenews.com/worst-case-scenario-nuclear-site-1989-robert-redford-film-predicted-2014-disaster-wipp-plutonium-release-due-chemical-reaction-burst-nuclear-drum-ultimate-disaster-significant-issue-combustible-was). I spoke at DOE hearings for it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull), as we proposed a neutralization solution and were nicely told by the DOE how the land laid. So, that "bury it in the ground and hope it does not come back up" solution is having problems, and that is for the low-grade stuff. A little closer to home, plutonium has been leaking into the Columbia River for decades, as Hanford became a national sacrifice zone for the USA's nuclear weapons program. People in the vicinity are now having epic birth defects (http://enenews.com/79334). This is not Iraq or Yugoslavia that we bombed with our nuclear waste (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#du), but in The Land of the Free. Naturally, the birth defects are being covered up. To the West of me, the entire West Coast is becoming radioactive (http://enenews.com/fukushima-engineer-theyre-covering-badly-groundwater-contaminated-scientist-measuring-higher-levels-japan-levels-california-already-exceed-expectations-will-keep-rising-years-tv-cleanup-be-li), thanks to Fukushima. As I wrote about in my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands), tar sands pipelines are being built (http://globalresearch.ca/tar-sands-natural-gas-fracking-pipelines-the-fossil-fuel-wars-in-british-columbia-and-canada/5362551), and a tanker a day plans to leave Vancouver for the markets, which is going to raise the risk of catastrophic spills in Puget Sound, which is Earth's second most diverse marine ecosystem.
So, I am surrounded, both physically and economically, by the energy issue. How about FE? :) Problem solved. All of them (well, the radioactive ocean will take a little more work to clean up).
What a time to be alive…

Wade,
Thanx for listening to my rants.
When you speak of dual use biological innovation could not psychopathy be a form of dual use innovations by humans?
Let me see if I got a few things straight like its about energy one has to find it and use it and protect oneself from predators(psychopaths) to survive long enough to procreate. Is that about right?
You forget that I am semi retarded;)
Well what about the modern psychopath on planet earth is this not a dual use issue of biology like the larger brains and the upright walking to free the hands or a way of viewing the environment as a predator does and so when their brains are measured doctors can measure a different brain than of a normal human.
So humans have moved from being prey to being predatory.....to find energy to survive long enough not being prey to procreate.....
You talk about ape and chimp societies and the violence from the chimps with organized predation and social reward and punishment. And so war or the stealing of an others things to want to survive reminds me of the preppers here on Avalon.:rolleyes:
Is not prepping the ultimate form of what our Wade calls the addiction to scarcity?
I mean threads devoted to moving out of harms way to avoid the catastrophe and many charge money for such consultations.....to an elite that dig huge holes in the ground to hide in with all of their plunder.....
I know that I am a little off....but boy....that about takes the cake....they are more "off" than I am....
I must admit to having the "condition" as it relates to having a supply when old to survive....me thinks that this is "wired" in....
We are dealing with some primal things here....and then some folks hear voices telling one to go another way.....
Mystics hear voices and science checks facts and I think that you are more of a mystic than a scientist wade....
I am getting the facts from your essays since I have been an evangelical christian and for many years such facts have been greatly suppressed.
And so my great surprise with your dear friend Dennis on his choice of a spiritual path....Evangelical Christianity....
Let me put this in a crude loading dock type of manor....where I used to work...
When you believe the BS and you find that its all BS and I mean everything you have been told then you have a crisis....
its all BS....everything...
and so that is very liberating and so I must go within myself to view anything that I am told now is at all possibly true.
Where does that inner voice come from?
Heck if I know...

just wanted to take one moment of your time to talk about Noam Chomsky...
many in the alt community call him a great traitor but I see him so very differently...he is a suvivior and I just so respect that man Wade....
Some call him Jew...
could I convert? to see what he sees?
I read somewhere that Noam was a linguist or a student of language or communication....
Noam's sin was that he felt that "retail" politics would fix the problem....
Noam is a man and he did good....very good...
and so if conscientiousness equals energy then Noam put a lot into the system IMO.....

Hi Nine:
Yes, psychopathy could be seen as the prey-turned-into-predator dynamic, but we have done it as a species. It is obvious that our tools not only made life on Earth easier, at least during those brief golden ages of relative energy abundance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages) (the USA is a classic instance, and those preppers are not that delusional, as a storm is coming if we do not wake up, and soon), but those tools were used on each other fairly early on. All human groups are psychopathic in the way that they treat those in the out-group, such as what the USA has been doing to the peoples of Hydrocarbon Country (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). I can hardly find an American who knows or cares. Psychopaths just do it to their "in-group," but they do not see those people as their "in-group." Their in-group only consists of themselves.
Uncle Noam has been awesome at pointing out the psychopathic activities of "intellectuals," whether they are journalists, historians, and so on, as they defend their in-groups in the most irrational and unethical manner (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), as they justify evil treatment of the out-group. As Jesus said, there is no out-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy), and when humanity finally embraces that idea, we will become a truly sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric). But doing that in a world of scarcity and fear is no easy trick, and almost nobody even tries. But FE and abundance can break that cycle, IMO. A tiny fraction of humanity can make that happen, which is what I am trying to help get together.
So, yes, calling out Noam as a "traitor," because he does not embrace the conspiracist mindset, is typical behavior. Structuralism has its blind spots, like conspiracism does (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). Everybody can learn something from Uncle Noam.
My path has been 0.01% hearing voices and 99.99% checking facts and having the experiences that the voice led me to. :) It is what that voice led me to that gave it credibility with me, at least as far as its prescience, although I do not want to hear from it anymore (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3).
I have been told that am an artisan soul (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), and I'll buy that, so I am into creating, and I'll not deny the creative effort behind creating a vision like this one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I have done what I could to stick to the facts but also see a big picture that takes creative effort to see. All scientific theories are like that.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: So, Wade, can you give a little more of the details of how you see your effort going?
A: My goal is to manifest a world of abundance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) in which humanity and Earth is healed. In getting there, I believe that the principles needed to get there are more important than any "battle plan," as all battle plans look good on paper until the first shot is fired. I have been through several campaigns, however, and know where many of the mines are, when to duck my head, and when to charge forward. Hardly anybody has ever been on that battlefield for long, so I know that I am bringing something to the party that is extremely rare, and I think that my experience will be useful. If I did not have that experience on the battlefield, I likely would have never had much worth saying.
Briefly, the principles are the basic Boy and Girl Scout blueprint (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts):
Being other-serving (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving);
Truth and honesty;
Hard work.
That seems pretty simple, right? :)
I discovered the hard way that personal integrity is the world's scarcest commodity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), so the people who actually live by those principles are few and far between, on the order of less than one-in-a-thousand in today's world. That is why the social circle approach does not work, because if you are one of those whom I seek, it is virtually guaranteed that you will not know anybody in your daily life like you (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). Those are just the numbers. But with the Internet's reach of billions of people, and a sizeable fraction can read and write in English, I like my chances of finding enough people and training them for my approach to work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers).
I only know one person on Earth who meets these qualifications (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), and I am not looking for any more of them. If I could find ten like Dennis, the hero's journey to FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#hero) might work, but I doubt that there are ten to find. Likewise, if there were a hundred like Mr. Professor and Brian O'Leary (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) to find, that could also work, but I doubt that a hundred exist. So, I am going with Plan C, which is finding enough people who can "merely" let go of their scarcity-based conditioning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) for long enough so that they can simply imagine abundance and learn to sing the song (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). I am going to need several thousand of them.
Anybody who studies this essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) and really understands my message is going to be a candidate for the choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). I doubt that people need to be scientists to understand that essay's gist, and it was written for non-scientists.
I have designed my effort to avoid some of the many pitfalls (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls) that attend the FE journey and the limitations that I have seen in Internet discourse. I specifically designed what I am doing so that I do not need money to do it. Oh, I sacrificed my life and millions of dollars of income to do it, but nobody in the choir will have to make sacrifices like that. The hard work has already been done, although what I will ask of my readers is anything but easy.
By designing my effort so that there does not need to be any money changing hands to build the choir, I have avoided one of the greatest pitfalls of FE efforts. Not only is accepting money the easiest way for the authorities to attack the effort, as I learned during my days with Dennis (even if you put the world's best heating system on people's homes for free (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs)), but when money begins changing hands for anything related to FE, greed rears its head (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#greed), delusions of grandeur beckon (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur), and men in particular try to play the hero, the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) even. Psychopaths swarm to efforts like that, both free-lancers and those on Godzilla's payroll (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas), 3 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy)), and I encountered plenty of both. As with Mr. Skeptic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends), is it hard to tell the free-lancers from Godzilla's employees, but it does not really matter, as they all act the same.
If that choir gets amassed and sings that song in chorus, it will attract people who have pined for that song for their entire lives. Then money will change hands, but going one way: directly into a technical effort to make a production-ready FE device, and then it will be given away to humanity. That will be a hard nut to crack for Godzilla and the other predators who play at the local, state, national, and global levels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1).
Does that approach have a prayer? If I found those several thousand people, it would be easy. The hard part will be finding them, but I am using a new tool with a global reach, and like my chances. I am devoting my "spare" time for the next 30 years or so to finding and training them. I understand and sympathize with the sense of urgency that exists today. Humanity may well destroy itself (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) while taking most complex ecosystems with it, which mystical sources that I respect say commonly happens with ensouled species that can manipulate their environments (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3). I believe that those I will reach will have incarnated at this time particularly to help humanity turn the corner. But those who want to rush out to "do something," or try to get their social circles to embrace my work, are going to be the weak links in my effort, and I will do what I can to keep them out of it.
I hope that that is enough detail. Much more detail would be an exercise in foolishness, as there is no telling what all the bumps in the road will be. Virtually everybody new to the FE idea reacts with fear and denial (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), and they are not my target audience. Some want guarantees that it will turn out well before they will get out of their easy chairs. Those kinds of people never accomplish anything worthwhile, and they will begin to awaken when FE is delivered into their lives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli), and not before, and that is OK. It will only take 0.001% of humanity to put humanity over the top into a world of abundance. It was like that for all Epochal Events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#events), and I do not see why it should be different this time.
We will see how it goes.

Wade

Hi:
Quickly, before I spend most of my day doing chores and other tasks, I just read this article on appraisal fraud in American real estate (http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2014/12/02/housing-fraud-is-back-real-estate-industry-intentionally-inflating-home-appraisals/). I have seen that movie before (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#appraisal), more than once. As I wrote this past spring (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming), the Fed and its enablers have created the exact same bubbles that have burst over the past 15 years. It is surreal. And as I wrote yesterday (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=908151&viewfull=1#post908151), we also have a shale oil bubble that was created with the same easy money policies.
You really have to wonder if that definition of insanity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#insanity) applies in this situation, but I think that it is more like what that article I linked to yesterday mentioned (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/financialized-oil12-14.html), in that it was not crazy or stupid, but planned out and "smart" in that the system has been carefully constructed to steal from the chumps on behalf of those creating the situation, who will be long gone when the roof caves in and the chumps are left holding the bag. It is basically a Ponzi Scheme.
And like most such situations, the "conspiratorial (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism)" behavior is only engaged in by a relative few at the top who know what they are doing, while the vast majority play along, as they see short-term gain or trust the system in their greed, naïveté, or stupidity. As with the rest of these engineered bubbles, it will turn out badly for the chumps, while the architects clean up once again. Of course, in the big picture nobody "beats the house," as we all answer for our deeds, to ourselves (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#monroe). But isn’t there a more satisfying game to play? :) That is what my work is all about.

Hi:
Attached are from today's hike. All three are on the same mountain, in different aspects. The snowy one had a northern aspect near the bottom, the green one almost looks like summer, on a southern aspect near the top, and the one that looks like New England winter woods (and felt like it, too, which reminded me of living with Dennis and his family in Boston (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing)), was taken from on top of the mountain. What a blessing to be able to hike in woods like that, less than 20 minutes from my home.
For this sock-puppet choir Q&A that I have been doing lately, I could do it for hundreds of different subjects in that big essay. When I get that choir going, there will be no lack of topics to discuss. Here is another.
Q: Wade, you write about the approaches to FE that have not worked (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). In your opinion, what have been the primary reasons that they have not worked?
A: In short, a lack of integrity and organized suppression. If there was enough integrity in the general population (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) and among those mounting FE efforts, they would have succeeded long ago, no matter what Godzilla tried to do.
However, the lack of integrity among the general public is why such efforts have never had much public support (the public is unaware and indifferent, unless they can somehow immediately profit from it), and those involved in FE efforts virtually never had the right stuff to really go very far, which extends to the inventors and their allies and supporters. Greed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#greed) and delusions of grandeur (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur) are two prominent foibles that doom FE efforts, and are not confined to the inventors (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), but to their allies and social circles, including their families. Because of those internal weaknesses, they are highly susceptible to organized suppression, and it can come from the local, state, national, and international levels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), even leaving aside Godzilla (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc). He is merely the apex predator in that milieu.
If making FE happen was anything close to a normal undertaking, like making a new computer chip, it would be a no-brainer for corporate America. Thousands of companies could readily develop FE for public use. But technology suppression is pretty old (there were even rumors of it in the Roman Empire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#romanconservation)), and preventing disruptive technology from upsetting markets has become a science. There are thousands of instances of technology suppression, but it is usually done quietly, and when it comes to disruptive energy technology, the pockets can be pretty deep (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff) for shelving it. But that is one of the "benign" tactics for quietly removing the threat. Godzilla has a deep and sophisticated bag of tricks, and I have been part of efforts that were subjected to most of them, if not all of them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic).
If you review that list of approaches that have I am aware of that have not worked (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), they are all ways to either try to make money, seek rich and powerful allies, sneak past the organized suppression, and other approaches that do not reach high enough on the integrity scale to overcome the organized suppression. They simply do not aim high enough, maybe because they can't. Godzilla has not died in his sleep, as far as I know, but it is very possible that sanity might prevail at that global level (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal), but I am not going to count on it. My approach might "only" help create a fertile environment so that an attempt can succeed, or it might become an effort in of itself.

Wade

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, you show how geophysical and geochemical events interacted with biological ones, and I was wondering how influential the ice ages were on life, and vice versa.
A: The impacts of ice ages (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceagetable) on life on Earth, and life's impact on ice ages, is a great subject that is still controversial. For instance, it is thought that the production of oxygen via oxygenic photosynthesis oxidized atmospheric methane, as well as photosynthesis removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Those combined events may well have led to the first ice age more than two billion years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huronian).
The second ice age was really a series of them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cryogenian1), and it is thought that they had something to do with the rise of complex life, even though they also nearly wiped out all life on Earth, as it was likely a "Snowball Earth" episode, when virtually Earth's entire surface was covered in ice.
The third one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ordovicianextinction) caused the first of the Big Five mass extinctions of complex life, but it was all oceanic, as life had not yet colonized land.
The fourth one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#karoo2) was highly relevant to today's world. Ice age climates evaporate less water from the oceans (cooler waters will have less evaporation), so the global climate is dryer. Before that ice age, plants reproduced with spores (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#firsttrees) (which requires water so that the sperm can swim to the egg), and land vertebrates laid their eggs in water (amphibians (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#amphibian)). As the ice age commenced, the rainforests gradually shrank and plants developed reproduction via seeds (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#seed1), which did not need standing water to be fertilized. Vertebrates developed amniotic eggs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reptile), which did not need to be laid in water. Seed plants and amniotic eggs allowed plants and vertebrates to colonize all the land masses, not just the wettest parts. The rise of reptiles (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#synapsid) and conifer forests (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conifer) resulted.
The current ice age is only a couple million years old, but the cooling trend began nearly 50 million years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#icehouse). That trend killed off most of Earth's warm-adapted species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mideocene), in the greatest extinction event since the demise of dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), and cold-adapted ones then dominated. The events that directly preceded today's ice age (we are in a brief interglacial interval, and humanity may have already delayed the onset of the next glacial cycle by 50,000 years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#delay) by venting greenhouse gases to the atmosphere) had dramatic impacts on the African rainforest, which ejected some "loser" chimps to the woodland fringes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit), which set in motion a series of events that led to humanity. The first stone tools (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1) were invented just as this ice age began, and this ice age has had dramatic impacts on human-line developments (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceageeurope1), including our evolution.
So, you can see dramatic impacts by the ice ages on the development of life on Earth, and life has had dramatic impacts on the appearance and disappearance of the ice ages. As humanity has been toying with Earth's climate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), many changes threaten to precipitate a mass extinction that will make it the Big Six, which could well take humanity with it. The last time that Earth went from icehouse to greenhouse conditions, Earth had its greatest mass extinction event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction). Humanity is in danger of artificially inducing a Greenhouse Earth, which has scientists shuddering. We are in a kind of "race of the catastrophes (oilgenocide)" scenario, as World War III (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) may break out over controlling the world's quickly dwindling oil deposits, or we will have an environmental meltdown, or some grim combination of catastrophes.
So, ice ages and climate change are areas of intensive study today, as they should be. The so-called Global Warming debate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) is almost entirely bogus and brought into being by the Hydrocarbon Lobby and the "scientists" it owns (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sold), a servile media (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and a public that avoids responsibility for its actions.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, what has been the significance of mass extinctions?
A: They have been highly significant, in both "positive" and "negative" ways, depending on one's perspective. More than 99.9% of all species that ever lived on Earth are extinct (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinction2). But 95% of them went out with a whimper, not a bang, in a gradual extinction event, similar to what Darwin proposed, as the last member a species died, unnoticed. Unfortunately, Darwin's idea became a dogma (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lyell), and there was a taboo against studying mass extinctions until the 1970s and 1980s, when the bolide hypothesis for the extinction of dinosaurs was posited (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction).
Even though only 5% of extinctions were caused in mass extinction events, those events had dramatic impact on the journey of life on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctiontable), especially the biggest ones. The second big one halted the invasion of land by vertebrates (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#devonianextinction), more than once. That changed the kind of vertebrates that eventually dominated land. The third one was the greatest mass extinction in Earth's history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction) and marked the end of an era, as life was so dramatically different after the event. It not only led to the rise of dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dinosaur1), but the line that led to mammals was displaced from dominance. Also, animals began growing larger brains (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#encephalization) before that extinction event, which delayed the appearance of "smart" animals by tens of millions of years, maybe even hundreds of millions.
The fourth extinction event removed dinosaurs from the scene (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction) and set the stage for the rise of mammals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paraceratherium). That extinction was so dramatic, and what dominated afterward was so different, that that event also marked the end of an era.
So, the impacts of those mass extinction events probably cannot be overstated. Without those events, humans would not have appeared on the evolutionary scene. Our souls might have inhabited some other kind of smart animal, if they would have evolved at all, if Earth is where we came to play the ensouled species game.
Ever since the founder group left Africa (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit), humanity has been causing a mass extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) that may rival the Big Five and even take its place among them, making it the Big Six (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth1). Already, humanity has dramatically impacted Earth's ecosystems. Many scientists are already calling it the sixth, but it is just getting started. That would be quite a legacy for humanity, to drive most of Earth's species to extinction and maybe take ourselves with it. Of course, my life has been devoted to preventing it from becoming any worse, and something like heaven on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) could appear if humanity became a truly sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric). We have the biological equipment to become sentient, but we do not use it very often or very well.
It really is up to us. Our destiny and the destiny of Earth's ecosystems are in our hands.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, can you discuss the evolutionary diversity in humanity?
A: Sure. It can be a very emotionally charged subject, because of how racism, sexism, and other differences in humanity have been used to justify the most evil crimes.
Take race. I live in history's most racist nation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jefferson). I was raised in a racist household (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#slurs) and a close family member joined the KKK. There are many aspects of my upbringing (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business)) that cause me to shake my head, as I look back.
Somewhat paradoxically, the USA has become a huge melting pot of races, nationalities, and ethnicities. I live only a block from Microsoft's headquarters, and my street is a little World's Fair, filled with families from all over the world. There certainly is no racial or ethnic requirement to be a nerd. :)
Races are only evolution at work, as isolated human populations adapted to their environments, and it is more than skin deep, although as all of humanity outside of sub-Saharan Africa is descended from a few hundred people 60,000 years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founders), the differences are pretty minor, from a biological standpoint. Light skin, hair, and eyes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#blueeyes) are all recent evolutionary developments and related and an adaptation to climates farther from the equator that received less sunshine than in Africa, where humanity evolved. Neanderthals lived in northern climates for hundreds of thousands of years, and they seem to have had those lighter pigment adaptations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lightskin). The epicanthic fold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicanthic_fold) is now thought to be a climatic adaptation.
Humans have also had genetic adaptations to innovations that they initiated. In a number of pastoral societies, humans have developed a tolerance to lactose (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lactose) so that they could drink the milk of their domestic animals. Sickle-cell anemia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickle-cell_disease) is due to an adaption to survive malaria, and is confined to populations that had long-exposure to malaria, and humans spread malaria by creating fields and swamps due to their farming and forestry practices.
There are also behavioral and cognitive evolutionary effects, and this may be the most controversial area of all. It has been suggested that the reason why Ashkenazy Jews have the world's highest IQs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jewish) for an ethic group is that they were genetically isolated in Eastern Europe and restricted to being business managers and accountants, which required advanced cognitive ability. It can also extend to behavior. The people of Mesoamerica and the Andes began their Domestication Revolutions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#squash) about ten thousand years ago, while sub-Saharan Africa domestication only began with the Bantu Expansion about three thousand years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bantu). With domestication, humans also domesticated themselves, and bellicosity has been getting bred out of humanity, as it has become proportionally less violent. Europeans noted that Indians made more docile slaves than those hapless sub-Saharan Africans brought over to the Western Hemisphere, and the longer period of domestication may have something to do with it, but the political climate many never be amenable to exploring it.
Different breeds of domestic animals have different dispositions and levels of intelligence, and there is no reason why it would be different with humans. If FE makes its appearance, race will disappear with the end of geographic isolation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), but there are differences among people today that are a result of evolutionary adaptation.
The genders also reflect evolutionary developments. Human dimorphism is a simian trait that developed from male competition for mates (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dimorphism), and echoes of that competition can still be seen in today's humanity. The hunter-gatherer phase of humanity is its longest, and surely is responsible for many human traits, such as men having physical prowess especially useful for the large muscle groups that were needed to hunt, handle livestock, and other activities that needed physical strength. Women gathered, wove baskets, and performed other "domestic" tasks that saw them develop superior small muscle control, particularly those involved with dexterity. That is not to say that men cannot type, and some of them throw like girls, but men are going to be inherently better throwers and women will be inherently better typists. Again, the political environment has largely forbidden those realizations and even hampered investigation of those traits that have been baked into our biologies, but evolution does not care. :) Men and women approach sex and procreation from almost opposite ends of the spectrum, as the outcomes for each gender are so starkly different.
In Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blank_Slate), he explored in particular the "Blank Slate" and "Peaceful Savage" memes that had political life in the 20th century. Both were reactions to humanity's excesses. The Peaceful Savage meme was heavily promoted, and even became a dogma in anthropology after the traumas of the World Wars, and was not overturned until the late 20th century. Those "savages" were proportionally far more savage than domesticated humans (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbes). The Blank Slate meme stated that there were no inherent differences in any humans, either in race or gender, and it is still in vogue today, as women go to prison for "raping" teenage boys (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=899093&viewfull=1#post899093), such is the absurdity that we have reached with Blank Slate thinking.
So, evolution has created significant diversity in humans, to ethnic groups, races, and genders. In a world of scarcity, those differences have been used to abuse each other, but in a world of abundance, I doubt that they will be used that way. Gender differences will still exist, although they will continue to change as physical strength continues to become obsolete in a world of machines, but I expect that race, nationality, and ethnicity will vanish, probably within a couple of centuries for race, and nationality and ethnicity much sooner, and nobody will be sorry to see them go.
Humans will impact evolution in new and unusual ways, and genetic engineering is probably here to stay, and again, motivation is everything. Genetic engineering could be a nightmare (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115) or a miracle (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748).
As greed and a lust for power will become obsolete in a world of abundance, I suspect that psychopathy will also be bred out of humanity, and souls on the dark path are not going to want to incarnate in a world where love, happiness, and abundance reign.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, you paint a grim picture of those approaches to manifesting FE, other than the one that you advocate. Are you sure that those others will not work, and why do you think that yours will?
A: I have not said that other approaches (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) are guaranteed to not work, but I have never seen any of them come close to working, and am trying to do something different (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). But I can say this about them: if you want to pursue them, then you should consider your life forfeit before you even begin. Nobody with any business on that playing field should think that they are not risking their lives. Anything else is deluded. I may well be risking my life with my approach, but it will likely only be me, if I can keep the people without the right stuff out of it, and the greatest threats will be gung-ho men trying to be heroes and the naïve, gullible, and non-discerning, who will be lambs to the slaughter when the psychopaths arrive (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas), 3 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 4 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)), and they will arrive if my effort gathers any momentum.
Anybody who has played at the high levels has received at least one murder attempt, and some have received many. Dennis should have been dead at least 20 times by now in his journey. He has survived several assassination attempts performed by organized crime, but probably the most galling was when he was kangarooed into prison for not filing a form (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate) and the prison officials repeatedly put him in position to be murdered (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes). The first time, they "lost" his security information so that they could classify him into the most dangerous part of the prison, and simultaneously reclassified a multiple murderer out of his cage to be Dennis's bunkmate. When Dennis became the man's best friend, the authorities then staged an unprecedented raid and Dennis became identified as the "snitch." After his life was threatened by the inmates, Dennis tried to escape his cellblock, and the officials put him right back into that situation. It could not have been more obvious that they were trying to get him killed, and he got "lucky" and only had some fingers broken and teeth knocked out. So, officialdom is more "subtle" than the mob, but Dennis found that the mob has more integrity than officialdom does. He earned the mob's respect by how he survived one of their hit attempts, and they left him alone after that (at least for that mob in New Jersey :) ). Officialdom has not been so kind.
But all of that was less arduous than being constantly betrayed by his "allies." When I saw Dennis last year, he finally admitted to me what was obvious to me: his "allies" hurt him more than the organized suppression did (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies). Brian O'Leary had similar experiences, as has everybody else that I have heard of who played at the high levels. The level of personal integrity in the general population is not high enough (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) to navigate the perils and temptations of the FE path.
If you think that you will make FE happen via those paths of failure that I have identified, your greatest enemy will be your ego. I have seen FE aspirants try to play the hero and eventually believed that they were the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies), among other delusions of grandeur (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur). I have seen greed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#greed) overcome innumerable FE aspirants, as the magnitude of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion) began to dawn on them. Those are all early hurdles that defeated FE aspirants almost before they even began.
If you make it past your own ego, then the next greatest threat, if you are foolish enough to invite it in, will be those in your social circles, including your friends, family, and colleagues. There is no social circle on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) with the right stuff to even begin to pursue FE, and I learned that one the hard way myself, as I got my friends and family involved, to have friendships wrecked, to be attacked by my parents (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=300436&viewfull=1#post300436), and the rest of that sorry tale. If you would have told me any of what was ahead of me, I would not have believed you, so I am sympathetic to the denial that I invariably receive from newbies, as they immediately rush out to tell their social circles the "good news," but they are like those 18-year-old boys who have never tasted the battlefield and are dying, literally, to prove their manhood (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). When I have related my experiences at the hands of my family and social circle, my relatively few fellow travelers have told me to join the club.
And that is all before you even encounter organized suppression. During my days with Dennis, we experienced organized suppression from the local, state, national, international, and Godzilla levels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). A great misconception by FE newbies, and I think it is related to their other egocentric delusions, is that all organized suppression originates from Godzilla's level of the game. That is not true. Capitalism has had a "convergent evolution (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=908028&viewfull=1#post908028)" of sorts, in that all capitalists know the game: wipe out the competition in order to enjoy monopoly-generated profits at the public's expense. Adam Smith remarked on it when observing how the mercantilist system operated (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#smith2), and capitalists took it to new levels. There has never been a free market in world history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear). And in the energy industry, robber barons (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) began the organized suppression activities that we see in the FE field today. Over the past century, they have refined the organized suppression of disruptive energy technology to a science (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden), but the robber barons are no longer at the top of the global food chain, if they ever were.
I go into those pitfalls and dead ends in a fair amount of detail in my writings, so I do not need to belabor them here, but I will just give an example from the first point that I list: trying to get a patent for FE technology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent). If you think about it, FE inventors applying for patents are asking their governments to grant them monopoly rights for the most lucrative technology in world history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion). How realistic do you think such a request is? In my experience, that is about the most naïve approach that there is to FE, but it has ensnared thousands of inventors. The USA has been a plutocracy from the beginning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#washington), and today's sitting president is little more than an errand boy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#washington).
The experience of FE inventors applying for patents goes like this…
The official position by the patent office is that they will never grant a patent to an FE device, as it defies the "laws of physics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)." I have watched FE inventors beat their heads against that wall for many years, draining their meager funds as they play the game, lawyering up, getting testing performed, etc. Not many can play that game for long, and the patent office has often granted patents for such devices, to only immediately classify them due to "national security" laws, which essentially seizes them from their inventors. The inventors are then subject to going to prison for pursuing their own inventions, and a veil of silence descends on the entire situation. This has happened thousands of times. And while the laws say that inventors are supposed to be compensated for that outright theft by the USA's government, for instance, they are virtually never compensated, and certainly not at the level of market potential (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion).
And, of course, the inventor who applies for a patent has announced his intention to get rich and famous from his invention, and people with that motivation are almost effortlessly defeated by organized suppression. The same goes for inventors who decide to not seek patenting and make their technologies proprietary (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary), keeping their workings in the realm of "secret sauce." Outright crooks play that game, too, and it is another path of disaster.
The "lucky" inventor is bought out, if the initial, subtle tactics of suppression do not work. It begins with the friendly buyout offer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten), and as nearly all inventors are in it for the money, that tactic usually works, and the inventor is never the wiser, just thinking that he "won" the capitalist game. Only when the game has progressed to the higher levels does the overt stick come into play, and it can culminate with the "final offer": take the money, or you and your family will not survive the night. When they make that offer, they add a couple of zeroes to the carrot (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), and they have delivered on the death front many times. When the mob murders you, everybody knows it was the mob. The mob even likes it that way, as it sends a message to all others who need to hear the lesson: defy us at your peril. When Godzilla or some of the other predators kill you, it is bad for business for the murders to be seen as what they are, so they are made to look like something else (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tactics), such as a "heart attack," cancer, random crime, suicide, "accident," and so on. That is also why some FE aspirants such as Dennis and Adam T. have survived multiple murder attempts: for any one attempt, it is more important for it to look like something else than it is to be successful. They can just regroup and try again, if their "failed" attempt did not permanently incapacitate the target. Brian's life was shortened by such an attack (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack), as he snooped into the UFO issue.
Today, I am in the kind of bizarre position of having people be all eager to chat up their social circles and get some kind of mass movement going (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tactics) (which is deadly naïve in of itself, as I have pointed out), but they are not brave enough to be real people on the Internet, or willing to put in the work needed to develop a comprehensive perspective. Pretty strange, when you get down to it. I know that I am looking for needles in haystacks, but I have budgeted the rest of my lifetime's "spare" time to finding and training them.
When you go out in the world and try to make a dent on the FE front, it is sobering, to put it mildly. After several years of playing the Paul Revere of FE, Brian openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). I sadly understood where he was coming from. Einstein made a similar observation about sentience (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#sentience), and I use the term in the way that they did. Most unproductive FE reactions and activities are rooted in pre-sentient behaviors. They are all, to one degree or another, reflect allegiance to in-group ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup). If you want to see somebody lose all semblance of rationality (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive), just challenge their in-group conditioning. Ideological conditioning is as old as civilization (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity), to form that in-group cohesion, but even the lowliest macaque defends its society when it is under attack (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1). So, the "patriotism" that dominated the USA in the wake of 9/11 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc), for instance, was no more sentient than macaques' "rallying around their energy supply." A truly sentient humanity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric) will understand that there is no out-group, which was Jesus's primary message (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy), which largely fell on deaf ears, as Christians are history's most murderous people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2).
But FE will have Epochal significance, and the masses will not begin to awaken to FE's potential until it is delivered into their lives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli). It was like that for all previous Epochal Events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), and I see no reason why it should be different this time. The biggest event in the human journey is going to be initiated by a relative handful of people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), but they will be enough.
I sure cannot guarantee that my approach will succeed, either, but it should not hurt, and will help fill a hole in all FE efforts that I was involved with or have heard of. There has never been an aware and engaged public on the FE front, which really knew what was happening and took an abiding interest in the issue, or truly understood its Epochal significance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

Jeez! Speak of the devil, I got an email from Greer's organization minutes ago (http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=6c0e6d21-7bcc-482e-927f-03dcd4ad1f09&c=e7e91040-cdc1-11e3-9a3e-d4ae527b79b7&ch=e937d760-cdc1-11e3-9a82-d4ae527b79b7) that called out an article showing the games that the U.S. Patent Office plays (https://www.yahoo.com/tech/the-u-s-government-has-a-secret-system-for-104249688314.html), and Greer wisely informs FE aspirants that open-sourcing is the way to go. At least some of us are singing the same song.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: While your essay covers a broad range of topics, you sure seem focused on the energy issue, even obsessively so. Why don’t you bring in other topics that may broaden your appeal, such as 9/11, catastrophic theory, political skullduggery, ancient astronauts, faked moon landings, various channeled works, insider revelations, news of the latest FE effort, blueprints for FE devices, and the like?
A: Hey, how did you get into the forum! :) (For the record, I do not see anybody that I invite into the forum asking that question, so I could be accused of not quite playing fair here, but the subject needs to be addressed).
While there is some merit to some of those subjects, they are generally not very relevant to manifesting FE technology in the public sphere, which is my goal. Everything else happening on Earth is noise compared to manifesting FE technology, which I know already exists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Also, I have snooped into those areas for many years, and most of what is presented in the public arena on those subjects is invalid, IMO. I present some information on those subjects, and there will certainly be some discussions of some to them, but those subjects are often fairly irrelevant to manifesting FE, and can really become a huge distraction. I have had interactions with some choir candidates who have taken public stances on some of those issues, and I usually believed that their stances were in error, or were irrelevant to my effort, and when we could not come to an agreement that they had to leave that subject "at the door," they did not join up, and that is more than OK. It is vastly better to address that subject up front than to have it come up later and bring a lot of pain to all involved.
I will address what you brought up, point by point, my sock-puppet friend ( :) ), and you can see where I am coming from, and you should be able to generalize it to other areas.
I'll start more toward the middle of your list. A friend who helped me bust Dennis out of jail (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it) knew that John Kennedy was not killed by Lee Harvey Oswald (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean) a few weeks after the assassination. I spent the next dozen years looking into the JFK assassination, on and off, before I ever made a public statement about it. I never found an impressive piece of evidence that falsified my friend's story, and over the years, as more and more evidence has come to light, my friend's tale has been powerfully corroborated (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#assess). Arguably the best JFK assassination work of the 21st century so far is the first "conspiratorial" work to receive the endorsement of the Kennedy family (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk), and that work argues that elements of the USA's military-industrial (which Eisenhower warned us about) complex did it, and I'll buy that. That book and my friend's book both argue that JFK was killed because he tried to end the Cold War, and I think that it is the likeliest explanation. While my friend's book named names, and that other work was not shy in naming some of the conspirators, either as actual participants in the plan or the subsequent cover-up, such as Allen Dulles (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles), who covered up the CIA's involvement, nobody is ever going to be positively identified and go to prison. That JFK hit seemed to embolden the people behind it, and assassinating American political figures and other targets of the West, with the CIA and FBI right in the middle of it and probably pulling the trigger for many of those assassinations, became a sport for the next generation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#dangers).
That hit parade kind of ended with the end of the Cold War (FE suppression also became far less violent around the same time), which may be similar to how pristine civilizations became "gentler" from a ruling class perspective, after their rule had been violently established (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#legitimacy). Probably the main lesson to learn from the JFK hit and its aftermath is that he was the last president who thought that he could importantly impact global events. All presidents since then have been puppets and they know it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents), and not one of them became president without David Rockefeller's endorsement, but I doubt that David plays at the Global Controller (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) level, but a level or two below it. Every president since Reagan knew Dennis by name, but they are nowhere near the top of the food chain.
So, my radar for such conspiratorial behaviors has been up for many years, but I do not share the predilections of conspiracists, who have adopted the conspiratorial framework as their dominant explanatory framework for how the world works. Such conspiratorial behaviors certainly can have an impressive impact, but they really are a small part of how the world really works. The structuralist perspective is a better one, although both share the same weakness, of seeing elites as the root of our problems when they are just a symptom (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). They can be a painful symptom, to be sure, but just a symptom all the same. Treating symptoms never cures the disease. My life's work was targeted by conspiratorial efforts from the top of the global food chain (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), but they are still just a symptom.
I have snooped into other "conspiratorial" areas, but the milieu can often resemble three-ring circuses (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#jfk), and even if the conspiracy theories were accurate, those activities really had trifling impact on the human journey.
In the 21st century, the 9/11 terror attacks became a conspiracist feast (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11), and it would not surprise me in the slightest to discover that the USA's government was complicit in the attacks, above and beyond training the people who mounted the attacks, which nobody can deny (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#osama). But as with the JFK hit, nobody is going to "solve the crime," not when powerful interests do not want it solved. While I spent plenty of time looking at the evidence and had interaction with the 9/11 community, many have gone off the deep end, and recent events such as the Sandy Hook shootings and the Boston Marathon bombings have been accompanied with the wackiest conspiratorial "theorizing" of all, as people argued that those events never even happened but were staged, and prominent 9/11 voices have promoted such views. Again, while it can be beneficial to poke your nose into a few of those issues, for the learning experience alone, many have gone off the deep end, and 9/11 is a subject that the choir will not be spending much time on. It has bigger fish to fry and does not need the distraction.
One area that I poked into, partly because my father worked in NASA's Mission Control Room (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary) was the Apollo program's moon landings (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo). I originally looked into it because of what might have been covered up about them, but got sucked straight into the "faked moon landings" issue partly because my astronaut colleague publicly stated that they might have been faked (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#apollo). I then spent months going deep on the issue, and none of the "faked moon landing" evidence held up to scrutiny, and I eventually discovered positive evidence that removed my residual doubt (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#paydirt). My astronaut colleague never did the work to get to the bottom of the issue and greatly regretted his public statement. When I became his biographer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro), he wrote what became truly his last word on the issue (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#statement), as he died a few months later. But to this day, I am still approached by people who argue that the moon landings were faked. Anybody who thinks that the moon landings were faked is either scientifically illiterate and is incapable of weighing the evidence, or has not done their homework, and many will likely go to their graves believing that we never landed men on the Moon, just like some people still believe that Earth is flat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth).
My astronaut colleague had good reason to doubt the official story, as he nearly lost his life, courtesy of the USA's military, when he snooped into the UFO issue (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack). So, doubt about the official story is understandable, but there is no evidence that withstands scrutiny that conspiracists use to argue that the moon landings were faked. If somebody does not have what it takes to do the work and get satisfied, then they likely do not have what it takes to be part of what I am doing. Keen discernment and some scientific literacy are required to be part of my "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)."
When I was 15, comet Kohoutek streamed through our solar system, and I read a book that said that comet would herald some new age (this was before "New Age" was coined), and I even did a book report on the book (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=571595&viewfull=1#post571595). Well, the only change that happened was that the USA began going into decline that year (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert). Hmmm, maybe there was something to the comet. :) Well, let’s just say that events did not pan out how the author claimed they would, and von Daniken's work was prominent then. It was my first exposure to what we today call grand New Age predictions that almost never happen. There was also a big deal about pyramid power, the mystical nature of the megalithic architecture, tales of Atlantis, the "ascent" of the Mayans and Anasazi, etc. I was in training to be a scientist and spent the summer after that Kohoutek book report in Europe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe), and I was really beginning to develop a no-nonsense approach to that stuff until a few months later, when I had my mystical awakening (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva). It was only then that I became quite the spiritual student.
I have had many experiences that almost nobody can believe, but they happened (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#research) just as I reported them. I had my mystical awakening in Southern California, which is the heart of the New Age, and I was pretty active. The hucksters abounded (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#mystical). For every Real McCoy, there were a thousand pretenders and dabblers. I thought that I had just about seen it all by the time I was 30. Of course, I had my radicalizing wild ride with Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) in those years, too.
I have watched UFOs fly overhead and light up on request (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm#call). I have swum with "free" dolphins (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#dolphins), and they sure seemed to like the idea of FE. A voice in my head caused me to change my studies from science to business (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) and led me straight into Dennis's company (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). I could not make this up if I tried. If somebody obtains Dennis's books, they will see that my role was far more central than I publicly disclose.
I resumed my science studies, which can be seen in my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm), and that was a very happy outcome for me. But as I did the work, many fringe topics that I had poked into really began falling apart. The "enigmatic" megalithic architecture was built as a form of elite "display (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity)," and was made of stone in either that civilization's Stone or Bronze Age. Hey, those people were good at working in stone! While I have witnessed pyramid energy's effects (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=201370&viewfull=1#post201370), I strongly doubt that the pyramids were some kind of star gate or the many other New Age interpretations. They were made for elite aggrandizement, the Egyptian necropolis took all of Egypt's surplus energy for a century to build (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egyptold), and back then the pharaohs were deific figures who interceded with the gods to ensure a proper Nile flood. That ruse eventually fell apart, just like they did for all new elites who claimed the divine status (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity) that the corrupt priesthood attributed to them. I strongly doubt that studying the megalithic architecture is going to help make FE happen. I have yet to encounter one of the esoteric explanations for the purpose and construction of the megalithic architecture that held up in light of the evidence. There still some mysteries and marvel over what those ancient people built, but give them credit for building them with the tools of the day, not ET and Atlantean technology help.
The civilizations that erected the megaliths largely all vanished, including the Mayans and Anasazi, because they ran out of energy, primarily due to their environmentally unsustainable practices (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cahokia). They did not "ascend." 2012 came and went.
On a related note, literalist interpretations of the Bible (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales) or Sumerian cuneiform is a pretty shaky way to reconstruct ancient events, and I do not consider catastrophic hypotheses such as Velikovsky's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) to be valid.
In my old age, I have kind of lost interest in channeled works. The phenomenon is real (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth) and I have had some incredible events happen in channeling sessions that I attended, both group and private, but there is also plenty of chaff out there. In the end, our "friends" from other dimensions really cannot help us much. We are here to learn to paddle our own canoes, not be rescued by the Ascended Masters, the Space Brothers, etc.
I am interested I helping humanity turn the corner. We are on the brink of the biggest event in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and it will primarily be an energy event, just like with the prior Epochal Events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable).
I am not a deeply connected "insider," but when you pursue the most transformative technology in the human journey, you attract the attention of the people who run the world. You don't find them; they find you. One close pal got to see FE, antigravity, and other technologies in action (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but I will not be invited to a show like that, much less the general public. The stuff is very real, as is Godzilla's vigilance and active mischief, and while I respect efforts such as Greer's and Bill's, I do not pay a whole lot of attention to insider reports of what is happening at the high levels. I hear stuff that I do not doubt is real (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars), but like focusing on the Ascended Masters and Space Brothers to save us, it is easy to get strung out on those stories. A significant portion of those "insider" revelations is disinformation, as anybody who has close followed that milieu for long knows well. Those "insiders" are sometimes just attention seekers posing as insiders, or knowingly spewing disinformation as part of their jobs, or unwittingly being fed it. To me, focusing on those stories very much is just one more way to play the victim game (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). We have to learn to play the creator game if we are going to turn the corner, and creators create with love (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest).
Similar to those New Age and conspiracist obsessions, the FE field is in a state of arrested development (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), dominated by scientists and inventors, with varying levels of greed, ego, and other motivations, and a public that laps up the latest pronouncement that the inventor is the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), etc. Thinking that somebody is going to publish some blueprints for an FE device and some tinkerer revolution in garages is going to put humanity over the hump is about as realistic as expecting that we will all get The Muppet Movie ending and we all live happily ever after without even leaving our easy chairs. I do not support that delusional approach, and have been trying to do something else ever since I quit NEM in 2004 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland).
My interviews that I began in 2008 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews), and my big essay and new forum, are that "something else," and I have devoted the rest of my life's "spare" time to building that "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)," and that effort cannot afford the many distractions and dead ends that I am discussing in this post. While I do not regret poking into those areas, they have usually been time-wasters.
Best,

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, are you sure that we will not destroy the planet and ourselves with FE?
A: No, but I am much more confident that we will destroy the planet and ourselves without FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and the upside of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is like what nothing else on Earth is capable of delivering. And FE already exists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and we are still here. FE has probably been around for about as long as we have had nuclear bombs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping), and we did not blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons (at least yet).
I'll get into the specifics in this post, but let me preface it saying that I found that the doom-fearers are just like those people in my life who embraced certain death from cancer and AIDS (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings) rather than question their indoctrination or change their habits. It was one of many situations during my journey for which I originally could not believe what I was seeing. Embrace certain death rather than question your beliefs? Wow. It harkens back to Brian O's question of whether humanity is a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). What I eventually learned was that all of those Level 5 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) people who are outright fearful of FE are just addicted to their scarcity-and-fear based perspective, like those terminal patients that I knew, and just like all those people who just deny FE when they hear about it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1). They are all just variations of the same basic mindset. I have never been able to engage Level 5 fear people in any kind of rational conversation about the issues.
Basically, there are two fears about FE:
We will strip-mine the planet a wipe out all ecosystems;
We will have FE wars and make Earth uninhabitable.
I know that antigravity as well as FE has been developed, and my friend's eyes bugged out when he had it demonstrated to him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping). Heck, Sparky Sweet's gizmo (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) produced antigravity effects, and I will never forget the awe on my friend's voice as he described Sparky's gizmo operating. Brian O was one of the pioneers in advocating asteroid mining (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#oneill). One of the very first applications of FE and antigravity is going to be becoming a space-faring species, and just one asteroid will provide all of humanity's need for anything that we would mine Earth for, so the "need" to mine Earth would almost instantly disappear. What I have found that people who fear FE do is project today's practices on the future, when such projections are ludicrous. That is similar to what Scott mentioned in my first interview with him and Tom, when a listener made the observation that New Yorkers were asked in 1900 what the biggest problems New York City would face in 2000, and the number one answer was how to remove all the mountains of horse manure. People who think that we will strip-mine Earth with FE are projecting like those New Yorkers did in 1900.
Related fears are that we would raze the rest of Earth's forests and turn the entire surface of Earth into a farm, but that is the same delusional thinking and flies in the face of what is happening today. The energy of fossil fuels has meant that Western nations have been able to regenerate their forests to a great extent, as they no longer needed to get firewood from the forests. Japan treats its forests as sacred groves. If FE makes its appearance, razing the forests for economic benefit will be one of the first things to go (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#forest2). Why would people do it, if there was no economic need? Indoor farms are going to be far preferable to outdoor farms and effortlessly made. People will be able to take their farms with them, wherever in the solar system they want and even beyond.
Slavery was not even challenged as an institution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas) until machines made it economically obsolete. Raping the environment is going to be seen like slavery is today, but until raping the environment (to wrest energy from it) will not stop until it becomes economically obsolete to do so, and FE and related technologies will make it obsolete.
The fears of using FE to further devastate the environment seem very misguided and just a projection of irrational fears, a projection of scarcity onto a situation of abundance. In a world based on FE, there will still be laws and government, but they will look nothing like today's as wealth and power issues will become obsolete. The primary goals will be safety, nurturing all life, including all humans, and other goals that are barely on the radar in a world of scarcity, greed, fear, and violence.
Speaking of violence, that brings me to the second fear, of having some kind of war that destroys the planet. All wars for all time have been primarily economic in nature (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1), although one of the universal features of war has been publicly denying that motivation, which is easily seen in the tawdry rationales that the USA trotted out for invading Iraq (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). The level of stupidity required to swallow such obvious lies is impressive, and intellectuals regularly achieve that mind-boggling level of stupidity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), but it has always been that way, as people defend the indefensible actions of their in-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup). Orwell noted that proclivity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#threadbare), but there will be no incentive for that kind of soul-selling in a world of abundance.
As Greer has noted when fielding those Level 5 fear observations, the worst elements of humanity already possess FE technology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#divine), and we are all still here, so those fears really seem misplaced, and it is kind of an orgiastic flight of a fearful imagination, not really connected to any kind of likely reality. As people like Mark discovered, the Big Boys can detect when the ZPF is tapped, and have likely been able to detect and disable the weaponization of FE for many years, so that problems has likely already been solved (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647). I advocate that global peacekeeping force of grandmothers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) authorized to take the toys away from the boys who cannot play nicely, until nobody has to be reminded anymore.
As I have written, an appropriate orientation to the FE issue is probably about 95% devoted to the positive outcomes of FE and related technologies, and about 5% caution. With FE, our ability to solve our problems goes up by orders of magnitude, just as it always has when the energy supply was increased with humanity's Epochal Events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable). Being overwhelmed and driving ourselves to extinction with FE seems to be about the least likely outcome of embracing FE technology, not the most.
Heck, this will be the first Epochal Event in which the inventors had the foggiest idea what it would lead to (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), and I know that my wildest imaginings can barely scratch the surface (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) of what a world based on FE can look like (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions). For people's imaginations to immediately imagine scenes of death and destruction is just what Godzilla likes to see, as we fervently hold onto the chains that we have around our hearts and brains. We do Godzilla's work for him when we do that.
When Brian asked me to help him write that DOE proposal (http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html), which was about dealing people's transition fears, I really wondered what he thought that we would accomplish. My experience was that almost everybody gets stuck in denial (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), first, and I never found that those who feared FE had anything rational to say and were just projecting their fears onto everything around them. I do not really believe in a democratic process for making FE happen. The vast majority of humanity is in ignorance, denial, and fear, and will be no help in making FE happen. FE activists thinking that there needs to be some kind of global vote are not thinking very clearly about the issue. Was there a poll before the first stone tool was created (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1), the first fire controlled (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), the first plant (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran) and animal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dogs) domesticated, or when Darby (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke) began his smelting operation using coal? FE is going to come to the world through a relatively small group of people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), and the rest of humanity will go along for the ride, as they always have.

Wade,
Post 4335 should be read by all avalon folk...
What of Sandy Hook? it is the latest thing with the net folks...
Wade i DO NOT discuss 9/11 truth or Sandy Hook with any one I know even though true what the conspiracy folks say...
Could I go up to a member of the cycling club that I am in and say "NO ONE DIED AT SANDY HOOK" and still remain a member in good standing?
How about on my job....yet I am retired and some price will be paid...
Wade, your view of the world is very logical and one would stay safe there...
Much thanks for your work....
Did you ever see a film called John Carter?
There is mention of free energy in this movie....
I just love to watch this movie...
thanx..

Wade,
Did you know that 22 military and former military folks kill themselves everyday?
and of course many in the federal service....do so but no numbers on that...
In Federal service there is liberal life insurance that can be purchased with no penalty for a suicide....
Could not this be tied to our war machine in america and the rot of everything to that war machine that must find energy to continue the deal?
Payouts are huge but when one can print unlimited money who would care...

Hi Nine:
No, I have not seen or read John Carter, but FE or some new and exotic power source is a common enough Hollywood theme.
On soldiers, I grew up in the Vietnam era, and encountered plenty of the wrecked men who fought there. Among Vietnam vets, more died from suicide than died in battle. We are creating a new generation of destroyed men (and women) with our imperial adventures, but, of course, the damage inflicted on our imperial targets (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1) is something that we have only seen with the Mongols, Nazis, and other wonderful company to be in. Our brutality is legendary (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#interrogate). One grandfather was crippled in World War I (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#influenza), the other grandfather came back messed up from World War II (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas), my father came home a wreck from Korea, and I nearly went to the Air Force Academy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). Fight, fight, fight…The American Way.
I know somebody who had a relative at Sandy Hook as a student when the shooting began. All of that "nobody died at Sandy Hook" talk is part of the USA's lunatic fringe, which is growing every day as our society declines. When I saw all of that "the Boston Marathon bombing did not really happen" talk, and led by some of the leading conspiracist voices, it was sickening. That conspiracist stuff has really gone off the deep end.
All of that imperial violence is related very closely to those instances of domestic violence. Pretty obvious, one would think, but it seems that few Americans can make the connection…

Hi:
Briefly, Ralph McGehee was destroyed by his stint in Vietnam (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), but my helicopter story was a new one to him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#interrogate), and if he had not been silenced by the CIA, he might have published that one. The perpetrator of that "skeet shooting" was a member of Special Forces. Some of the most heinous acts that I have heard of were committed by Special Forces. I have known people who were members of such missions ("normal" soldiers were often inducted into Special Forces ops and other "off the books" operations, who learned to break necks with their bare hands and other neat tricks), and it messed them up, to put it lightly.
In ways, the USA's Special Forces are like Hitler's SS troops. I guess that elite soldiers are supposed to slaughter people in "elite" ways.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, are you going to have a place in your forum where you invite critics in to debate them? There are plenty of "skeptics" and others who criticize your work on the Internet, and it could be educational, for both you and the choir, to engage in those debates and witness them.
A: No, I will not be having those debates, for a few reasons. Probably most importantly, debates are really held for the benefit of the uninitiated, as a kind of easy way to become familiar with the arguments. The choir will not be comprised of the uninitiated who are looking for some easy way to digest my work, by seeing what critics have to say about it. Those writings have been on the Internet for many years, and people can go find them, read them, and then do their homework on them, to see who "won."
I began my public writing career by taking on all comers. I did it for several years, and my first lesson was engaging Mr. Skeptic. He came on as somebody who wanted to know the truth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends), even with a "skeptical" stance, but it eventually became evident that that was only a façade, and his mask came off when he began publishing Big Lies about Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), and when his old lies were exposed, he made up new lies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#attack2006). Mr. Skeptic is a functional psychopath. Soon after Dennis was barred from ever working in the energy industry in the USA again, Mr. Skeptic quietly folded his tents, which I expected, as I am about half-convinced that he was being paid during his 15-year campaign against Dennis.
During those early years on the Internet, when I took on all comers, I interacted with many critics. But I never encountered any of them who were honest, informed, and rational. My best critics have always been my allies, as they helped me make my work better. Eventually, I was able write an essay that was filled with the irrationalities of my critics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm), to help educate people with how the "critic" game works. I have seen it for a quarter-century with Chomsky's assailants. I am not saying that it cannot be educational to review the criticisms of people like Chomsky, or me, but the critiques always said far more about the critics than it did about their targets.
Dennis's books are filled with official documentation regarding the attacks on his companies by the legal authorities, and obtaining the official documentation is not hard to do, but people like Mr. Skeptic just made it up as he went. What was even more "impressive" is how Dennis's "allies" the FE field would also make it up as they went while lying about him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), and I was reminded of one of those liars and his promoters just a couple of weeks ago (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904625&viewfull=1#post904625). To me, all of those lying and irrational critics are just more examples of my journey's primary lesson: personal integrity is the world's scarcest commodity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn).
As far as the truth of my work, as far as getting my facts right, or my interpretation of them, I provide literally thousands of references to the work on my site, and I would expect anybody in the choir to do their homework, and part of that homework is obtaining at least one of the cited works, and the pupil can judge for themselves my facts and interpretation. They do not really need to hear what my "critics" have to say, but need to do the work themselves. If they want to see me "battle" my critics (there can be some learning accomplished by such an exercise), I provide the grist for it, so that they can compare Mr. Skeptic's words to the official documentation, which I do in my section on him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends). Then there will be no doubt left to give him the benefit of. Long ago, I read a wise man say that debating fools and liars was always a losing proposition (the Bible even makes that statement (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/26-4.htm)), as the audience would not be able to distinguish who was the liar or fool. I interacted with those kinds of critics long enough to understand the truth of that statement.
You can see, hear, and read many interviews with Chomsky over the years, and sometimes he would address what critics had said, and of all the things he said, the one that hit home with me was when he said that he did not mind when his critics had a different interpretation of the evidence than he did, but he did have a problem with all the lying. Chomsky has been lied about regarding his stance on Cambodia for nearly 40 years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#crv), and I saw the mainstream media repeat those lies about him just last month.
So, I do not see the point in inviting in critics, as I have yet to encounter one that was honest, informed, and rational. I'll end with one example that I encountered, which was written several years ago in a "skeptical" forum. The writer actually defended Randi's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#randi) and Sagan's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) treatments of their skeptical targets, and noted that I was highly unqualified to write about the subjects that I do, as only somebody with the proper training and experience should be writing about the medical industry (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), the media (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and so on. Well, at times I contacted world authorities about the subjects that I wrote about, usually when asking for their permission to reproduce part of their work. And when I would, I received nothing but praise, such as Howard Zinn's reaction to my Columbus essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), or one of the world's foremost paleobiologist's reaction to the first half of my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo). If somebody wants to challenge my take on pleomorphic microbiology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm) or my support for Wrangham's cooking hypothesis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking), in those areas I am going out on a limb a little and supporting unorthodox positions, they are welcome to, and the science will either prove accurate or not. So, call me "exposed" to criticisms there. On pleomorphic microbiology, the stark evidence provided by the "impossible" microscopes of Rife's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife) and Naessens's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens) is the only way that a critic could possibly try to assail their findings, and I have yet to see even one critic deal in the slightest with the findings of those microscopes and their "impossible" resolutions, but the critics act as if those microscopes and what they saw never even existed. Such "critics" were of the Mr. Skeptic psychopath variety, and I guess that they hope that their audience is pretty stupid. So, if critics want to assail me on subjects like those, they are welcome to, but they need to first deal with the objective evidence that is readily available, not treat it like it does not exist.
On the FE front, I really do not care what the armchair theorists have to say about how FE is "impossible." I know better (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). A man with experience is not interested in debating a man with a theory.
The "skeptical" forum that critiqued my work never got into any specifics, as is typical of such critics. If they never get into specifics, then nobody can test their statements, as they make their broad claims. That kind of criticism is of the deeply dishonest variety that I am all-too-familiar with. But that critique did mention one "testable" claim, in that I mention Hitler on my site fairly regularly, and the critic then made the claim that I mentioned Hitler in inappropriate contexts, as if I had a Hitler obsession. So, there is a testable claim. Does it hold up?
For one thing, I wrote a book-length essay about World War II (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm), so Hitler's name is going to come up. I do mention Hitler in other areas of my site, and there was always a method to my madness. In Western circles, Hitler is presented as the ultimate in evil, even an anti-Christ, and throughout my site, I show how Hitler was cheered by the West during his rise to power (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#brown), even heavily funded by American industrialists, and Hitler learned his anti-Jewish ideology from one of the USA's greatest industrialists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#ford). Also, Hitler's lebensraum program and his extermination of "subhumans" took direct inspiration from how Europe, and particularly the USA, conquered and "settled" North America (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#exterminate).
Also, I have direct connections to the Nazi regime, and it is not inconsequential trivia. The CIA was founded on the Nazi intelligence network (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#gehlen), and friends like Ralph McGehee discovered the hard way what the CIA was all about (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#intelligence). People in my circles have been subjected to the MKUltra program and its successors, which were invented by Nazi scientists.
My father worked in Mission Control during the Space Race (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), and I am Brian O'Leary's biographer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro), and Brian was hired to go to Mars (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars) because of Wernher von Braun's influence. Dr. von Braun was a dapper count and one of Hitler's favorites who came over to the USA and became a Space Race hero (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#nazi) who hosted children's TV shows and built a ride at Disneyland, which I rode on, and von Braun's spokesperson in his last years replaced me on the NEM board (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem) after I quit.
I also mention Hitler and the Nazis in my medical racket essay, as the Nazis had an anti-smoking campaign led by Hitler while American medical authorities were promoting the "medicinal" properties of cigarettes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#bernays)! Goebbels carefully studied the work of the man who architected that cigarette campaign in developing the Nazis' propaganda campaigns against the Jews (and the men who mounted those tobacco campaigns were Jewish (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bernays), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fishbein)), of all things).
I have also extensively studied Einstein's life and career (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#einstein). He was run out of Germany by the Nazis, found refuge in the USA, but was treated as an enemy of the state by Herbert Hoover's FBI, and "patriot" groups tried to prevent Einstein's coming to the USA as a Jewish "subversive." I also mention another Jewish scientist (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#reich) who had his books burned by the Nazis, escaped Germany, came to the USA, to only have the same books burned in the USA and he died in an American prison after a kangaroo court trial because his investigations were threatening the cancer racket, at the very same time that medical authorities were promoting cigarettes! You could not make this stuff up if you tried.
I also mention Hitler's astute comment on how well Big Lies work on the public (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#hitler), which has been part of the American propaganda playbook (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) ever since.
So, I indeed mention Hitler and the Nazis many times in my work, but I am not sure where it is an irrelevant mention. But the "skeptics" can make claims like that, without any evidence or argument, to dismiss my work. That is the kind of "skepticism" and critique of my work that I am all-too-familiar with, and I will not waste my forum's time dealing with such drivel. We have much bigger fish to fry.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: In looking at the history of mammals, I guess that mammals could be called reptiles, and maybe even birds could be called the same.
A: Good question. In studying evolutionary relationships, the idea of a clade is prominent among scientists. A clade is a organism and all of its descendants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#clade). All life on Earth is a member of LUCA's clade (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca). In naming groups such as reptiles, mammals, birds, and the like there is a notion of monophyletic and paraphyletic, which means if the groups is comprised all the members of a clade (monophyletic), or only some of them (paraphyletic). What we call reptiles today is paraphyletic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reptile), because the same clade that includes reptiles indeed includes birds and mammals. Scientists prefer monophyletic clades because they are logically more consistent, rather than excluding some members of a clade because they are sometimes seemingly arbitrarily put into a special category in a nod to human conventions that predated the rise of science.
It is somewhat of a quibble, but understandable. The clade that includes reptiles, birds, and mammals is called amniotes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#amniote), which is comprised of vertebrates that do not lay their eggs in water. That clade includes dinosaurs. Some archosaurs gave live birth, such as ichthyosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ichthyosaurs), and some mammals lay eggs, such as the platypus. There is raging debate on how warm-blooded dinosaurs might have been (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#thermoregulation).
The human ego is certainly wrapped up in the debate, as humans like having some kind of unique distinction, and there has long been resistance to calling humans "animals." Even denial of culture among great ape societies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpculture1) has been very pronounced. Humanity has slowly been growing out of those conceits, and enlightened scientists call humans "Just another species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#another)."
Of course, there is fierce resistance from religious fundamentalists of all stripes, but it is a very healthy trend to see the animal nature and heritage of humanity. It certainly does not mean that that is all that humanity is, but it is very healthy to consider where we came from, which partly tells us where we can go (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
So, although mammals and birds have a reptilian heritage, I'll go with the current terminology, as it is a term of convention, harmless, and is an easy way to distinguish between three markedly different kinds of animals.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, you have written that you do not consider popular catastrophic theory to be valid. I suppose that you feel the same way about Young Earth theory. Have you looked into it?
A: Yes I have. I have looked into many fringe areas. I am not a masochist, but poking into those areas has been educational. One thing has become very common in the past century, which is invalid bodies of work adopting the trappings and language of science, but not following the process of science. They are a kind of counterfeit science, and are commonly called "pseudoscience," but I have seen that term greatly abused (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#pseudoscience), too. I have seen this in many fringe areas, from the New Age and conspiracist flavor of the day, to Holocaust Denial (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#holocaust), and various fringe "science" issues.
The basic difference between science and that fringe stuff is the process. The scientific process begins with an act of inductive logic that welds together the sum total of evidence regarding a phenomenon (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories), and a hypothesis is formulated. Then the hypothesis is subjected to testing designed to disprove the hypothesis, known as falsification (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#falsify). Those other disciplines generally do not to that. Their "hypotheses" (which is a very generous term to use for much of such "theorizing") are constructed by cherry-picking data that can be construed to support their hypotheses, and falsification testing is never performed or its results are disputed in a dizzying array of logical summersaults. So, in all manner of fringe area, you will find promoters of their hypotheses, as they cite this or that scrap of data that can be construed to support their work. I get emails almost daily on such issues.
Young Earth theory is like that. Over the years, I have somehow gotten on mailing lists for Young Earth and other topics that I sometimes call Redneck Science, as it all has a very predictable bent, and is centered around the literal truth of the Bible, the evil elites that run everything, and myths about American nationalism. Denying the reality of the Jewish Holocaust is one of many topics in that milieu. I have a redneck heritage myself, which partly had to do with my racist upbringing (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=908822&viewfull=1#post908822), so I am somewhat sympathetic to that simplistic and paranoid worldview, but it is a false one.
I do not want to tar the catastrophists, especially of the Velikovskian (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) strain, with the same brush that I use on Young Earthers, but what they have in common is a belief in the literal truth of the Old Testament. Unfortunately, scientists and historians can find little support for the tales in the Old Testament (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales), so using them as the basis for reconstructing ancient events is pretty shaky stuff, and Young Earthers believe in the literal truth of Genesis. They really are close cousins to the Flat Earth society (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth).
Five centuries ago, Westerners literally believed that Earth was only several millennia old (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darwin), because Genesis said so. Eastern religions could go the other way and believe that Earth was unimaginably old. Their ideas were closer to what scientists have discovered. When I finished my website in 2002, I wanted to resume my science studies, and one area in particular that I wanted to explore was the dating issue, and it has been part and parcel of my studies since then. There is damned impressive evidence for how old Earth and the solar system are, and both appear to be more than four billion years old. And there are plenty of converging lines of independently adduced evidence (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hawaii1) that supports those ancient ages. I have seen various attacks on radioactive dating, but the science appears to be valid and robust (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#decay). The Young Earth hypothesis is just one of many challenges to the chronologies that scientists and mainstream scholars have developed. A Russian mathematician developed a "reconstruction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_%28Fomenko%29)" of history with a timeline that is creative, to say the least. He also borrowed from his predecessors, but it is safe to say that such reconstructions are invalid.
But the scientific process is far from the end-all, be-all tool that people such as Carl Sagan and the "skeptics" promoted, and the scientific method is like the notion of a free press (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), a free market (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear), democracy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#classicgreece), an objective history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity), and other ideals that have never been seen in the real world, and the basic rule of thumb is that when science conflicts with the rackets, the rackets win.
That is why we have microscopes that are nearly a century old that achieved "impossible" resolutions for viewing life processes, which orthodox microscopes still cannot achieve, and those microscopes (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens)) are treated as if they do not exist. That is how an industrial waste and well-known poison was rebranded as "medicine" (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) and is literally forced down America's throat to this day. That is how the cheap, effective, and harmless cancer treatments are all outlawed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#justice), while the deadly, expensive, and ineffective ones are the only legal ones (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket), and those that outlawed the effective treatments (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#quacks) literally promoted the health benefits of asbestos-filtered cigarettes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lorillard). That is how free energy and antigravity technology are older than I am (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) but treated as if they do not exist, and are regularly declared "impossible" by today's pundits. That is how the best heating system that has ever been on the world market (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) is treated as if it never existed, even as it heats homes today, with some installations nearly 40 years old, and the man who had the most to do with bringing that technology to market has been pilloried ever since, without even mentioning his heating system, which he put on people's homes for free (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs).
Such is the surreal situation encountered when science meets the rackets. I do not want to pick on Young Earthers too much here, as many social sciences also pose as science, such as economics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), and there is probably a method to the madness. History's richest man and greatest energy mogul (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) helped turn Western medicine into a racket, funded the university that promotes the nonsensical economic theories that dominate today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chicagoschool), and his grandson is the "godfather" of all American presidents of the past half-century. We ran into that family's handiwork numerous times in our free energy adventures (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockyfe), and they had a hand in at least some of the organized suppression that we encountered (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make). The conspiracy theories about them are not all false.
My experience has been that people either suffer from conspiracy-phobia or conspiracy-philia, with little balance between them. What both perspectives have in common is thinking like victims (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), but we have to think like creators if we are going to turn the corner.

Hi:
More choir Q&A, but again, it is not really something that I expect to see in my forum, but I have had many exchanges like this.
Q: Wade, you are throwing a lot of information at your readers. Can't you make it easier?
A: I am sorry, but for the task at hand – helping manifest the biggest event in the human journey – I cannot make it any easier. Not for an attempt that is beginning in cyberspace. If I make it any easier, it is not going to work. My work is like an online university class, but there is nothing else like it on Earth. I have an activist/scientist/mystic/historian approach because I am a comprehensivist in the Bucky Fuller mold (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller). The human convention of breaking the world into pieces, to study each piece in isolation, on one hand can make things more comprehensible (to filter the signal from the noise), but it can also lead to tunnel vision. I need people whose eyes are open and who can leave aside their favorite subjects while they grasp a big picture, because only then can the Epochal nature of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) be comprehended. There is a hazard, however; if you truly grasp the Epochal nature of FE, which dwarfs the previous Epochal Events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), you will have a hard time thinking about anything else.
So, the seemingly arduous nature of my work helps keep people out of the puddle that they can drown in. My work is not only challenging, in its breadth and depth, but it can pack one heck of an emotional wallop. Everything is magnified by a few orders of magnitude in the FE pursuit. The people that run the world are doing their best to prevent the event from manifesting (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), as it will make their position in the world obsolete (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and almost anybody who pokes into the subject in the slightest soon realizes that FE means the end of the world as they know it, and they react in fear or denial (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1). I have witnessed those reactions thousands of times, as have my fellow travelers, and some openly wondered, in disgust (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#disgust), whether humanity is a sentient species (Brian O was far from the only one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience)). People have gone off the deep end after encountering my work, and I really do not want to do that to them, so there is a method to my seeming madness, which is partly protecting people from losing their minds. I am not kidding, and when people have been institutionalized, have made death threats, have wrecked friendships and family relationships and the like over my work, those were not happy moments for me, or very productive.
I am looking for extremely rare people (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800), who are less than one-in-a-thousand in the general population, but because billions of people have access to the Internet, I like my odds of eventually finding enough people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) for my idea to work.
I have made the material as easy as I can, and have avoided getting technical and arcane. World authorities in popularizing the material in my big essay in particular have privately raved about it, but I am not going to ask them to get in the line of fire and publicly endorse me. That could give them trouble, and I really do not want my work to become "popular." It was more than enough to just know that I did not fail in making the work comprehensible while also being accurate and comprehensive. I took the time off to write my big essay partly because I did not know if I would be capable of it in ten years, and I now have extra ten years that I would not have had to work on making something happen, while I grow old.
I just traded email with Ed Herman today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot), who turns 90 this coming spring, and he still publishes a monthly article in Z Magazine, recently published another book, to add to his huge oeuvre, and he and Uncle Noam have put marks so high on the wall that it boggles my mind. Uncle Howard died on a speaking tour at age 87 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm). So, I hope that I have another 30 good years in me, to help my plan along.
I have written plenty of smaller essays (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/home.htm#activist) that were designed to "gently" introduce readers to my material, but those can only be a warmup for going deep on the big ones, at least for the people that I am looking for.
Making it "easy" is what I call the Level 10 approach (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and I have been involved with several of those, and my writings are largely a reaction to the failures of those mass movement approaches. When I began to study for writing my big essay in earnest in about 2007, the truly Epochal nature of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) began to dawn on me, and with that realization came part of the answer for why the mass movement approaches have always failed. If an effort like mine will have any chance of success, it has to aim high, and cannot afford to water it down to play to people's "stuff," which is always rooted in scarcity and fear (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). We won’t get there by playing to scarcity, fear, and semi-sentient behaviors, but we have to strive for abundance, love, and clear thinking. That is the path that I see laid out before me, and it is the only one that I really am interested in walking, and I seek fellow travelers to help with this truly Epochal task.
Best,
Wade

Wade,
I am now entering the second epoch of the human journey while reading about the first with humanity discovering fire in your journal and while reading I sometimes must ask myself why does he want us to read this stuff?
Then it hit home for me when you talked about what fire really was in a scientific way and how the human eye could see the flames due to the chemical reaction taking place.
Fire and tools let humanity conquer the earth and in that first epoch humanity became a predator. Which led to vast extinctions and even today the debate is not about human responsibility for environmental devastation but always about other things.
Your idea of concentrating on the big picture is the right course and by openly being critical of some of the crazy conspiracy stuff is a good idea and I was about to ask you about those subjects and am so glad you commented upon them and so many will be driven crazy in the alt world not by your views but by the addiction to conspiracy theory.
I know how the game is played due to my experiences with the fed gubbernment for three decades and its dirty and dangerous as you warn people about those issues and "pissing" off the wrong person can make your life miserable for yourself and all around you. I learned first hand long ago that attacking that entity with a frontal assault would be sucicidal and I like how you make no bones about that with folks.
I would say about myself that I am totally unfit to be a member of your singing group due to all the abuse that I have suffered and in retirement being free of the psychopath is simply wonderful and of course I am no coward but for now I just could not handle much in that area.
When they(psychopaths) come and not if they come... that type of conflict is simply terrifying since it can go from cyber space to real life...we called it where I used to work "zero to one hundred miles per hour in a second" when the trouble came your way...
There is a reason why they choose boys to be soldiers Wade....us old guys would never get out of the fox hole knowing what is waiting for us...:rolleyes:

Wade,
I might have mentioned that I was quite the cyclist when I was young and now I do cycling as a way to remain fit and not about competition and racing.
There is a new type of mountain bicycle tech out there called the "fat" bike meaning instead of a two inch tire the bikes have four inch tires instead.
The major innovation that allowed for over four inch tires was the disc brake as a rim brake was the limiting factor of a bicycles braking system and with disc brakes some of the mountain bikes have over five inch tires.
When I first saw these crazy "Fat" bikes on the trails my initial reaction was what a crock and these things are slow and heavy as the first ones were. My cycling culture and pedigree is hard core bike racing from crits to ultra cycling.
These "Fat" bikes were billed as snow bikes or bikes to ride in the winter months and so that became attractive to me so I bought one of them two years ago but built it up custom with light rims and hubs and I got one with a modern frame design for speed.
The build came in at 28.5 pounds with the earlier versions over forty pounds. That first season I just road it as a snow bike but as we came into summer I just kept riding the bike with my racing pals and I just started kicking there buts on training rides or at least being equal with the fastest guys.
Which led a very very fast pal of mine who is only 40;) who decided to get one and he started placing in the top spots with pro mountain bike racers with an even lighter full carbon "Fat" bike which he got the weight down to 21 pounds!
The cycling mainstream was against these bikes but now manufacture them and are seeing declines in sales of the 26 in mountain bicycle and that came about because folks had open minds and were willing to purchase from small builders with good ideas.
The tech was invented and really dedicated folks demonstrated them for over 5 years before I took them up and it was because I got "shown" the tech and that how this was a very good idea.
These "Fat" bike folks have races where you share a bicycle to do laps so that folks that want to try one can do so at a race and man are these events a blast.
You can also ride solo to win...in your catagory and so many are served and many become educated.
I observed even companys like Trek bikes and Specialized who were at first much opposed to the idea now building quality "Fat" bikes.
They had an event today called "Global Fat Bike Day" could you say they have a big set of nads? http://fat-bike.com/2014/10/global-fat-bike-day-%E2%99%A6-december-6th-2014/
Nothing at all to do with free energy but an observation of human nature....

Wade,
I have a question for you. Have you ever studied the Jefferson bible?
Thomas Jefferson near the end of his life cut out the text of the bible he did not like or feel was true and had a condensed version of the bible...
It would be illuminating to study what he cut out....might be a way to understand him....
How could he be so enlightened as his sponsoring of Lewis and Clark to his immense scientific curiosity to the adaptation of a policy of genocide against the indigenous population?
For us history buffs Jefferson is an enigma IMO...
Yes, L and C was also a military opp as a group of spies.
And so that is why your friend Dennis is such an enigma to me and I read about him upon a search on Google and your story is good and another working class guy got screwed over by the system.....
The rock band called "The Who" had a song with a lyric as goes:
"meet the new boss same as the old boss"....
in my old place of employment we lost count at one hundred and twenty six bosses over the years....
You see they are super war mongers those evangelicals and so Dennis is a red flag for me to put aside...as it were...

Hi Nine:
For the biggest event in the human journey, not everybody needs to be a soldier. I get it. :) Heck, I had no idea what I was signing up for, and do not want to "lure" people into something that they will regret because they got in over their heads. Those who quietly lurk and read my work, making new connections and having "aha" moments, are also doing good work. Ultimately, making FE happen is going to be about love and sentience. There are going to be singers, listeners, and those who end up "doing something." I am going to need 100,000 or so active people to make it all happen.
Darwin called the control of fire humanity's greatest invention (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), other than perhaps the mastery of language (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#language1), and 150 years later, scientists have not really improved on it. One was an energy event, and the other was an unprecedented act of sentience that allowed for a rapid increase in human knowledge. Energy and consciousness, energy and consciousness – that is the theme of my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#consciousness).
On your bike story, yes, people resist change. Many of the best ideas have languished for generations before they were "rediscovered" and adopted. Regarding breakthrough technologies, and I am not referring to organized suppression, the resistance to innovation is impressive. In my big essay, I mention how major theories were consigned to oblivion and the author died in obscurity, to only be vindicated generations later (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pioneers). That is actually tame compared to advances in technology. I recall seeing a study on major innovations and how long it took for them to be embraced by the mainstream, and the average delay was several decades. All of my first professional mentor's inventions were either suppressed or stolen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction), some of which you use in your life today. That is the standard treatment, even leaving aside the organized suppression. It has been particularly brutal in medicine (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#steal).
The phenomenon of the Wright brothers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wright) flying through the air for five years before science acknowledged their accomplishment is actually tame compared to the collective denial that exists today.
On the Jefferson Bible (http://web.archive.org/web/20080929061224/http:/etext.lib.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/JefJesu.html), no, I have not studied it (I just read several chapters, and as I figured, the Sermon on the Mount is prominent), but I know that he edited out anything "supernatural," which included Jesus's "miracles" and his virgin birth and resurrection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible). The Jefferson Bible is essentially Jesus's ethics lesson to humanity. Jefferson, like other Founding Fathers, was a deist (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#deist), not a Christian. Right wing Christians can be counted on to have a unique view of the First Amendment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Free_exercise_of_religion) and act as if the Founding Fathers were a bunch of Bible thumpers. They weren't, and the First Amendment was only a successor to the English and colonial Tolerance Acts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_Toleration_1689). The USA was never a Christian nation, no matter evangelical Christian pronouncements to the contrary. On Jefferson's leading the dispossession and genocide of the Indians (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jefferson), that just came with the job of being president.
Dennis was raised as a migrant farm worker, of Scots-Irish (redneck) heritage (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion), which is also part of my heritage, although I was spared fire-and-brimstone sermons while growing up (my parents came from Quaker (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#familyname) and Lutheran roots). I think that that explains a lot of Dennis's religious stance. He got imprinted with that stuff while young, and while a light bulb later went off in his head, he never got past his initial orientation. That is real common. I am the only American FE activist that I know of who got all of the red, white, and blue Kool-Aid out of his mouth. We are force-fed that stuff from our cradles.
On how much I have read, the references in my essays give a hint. I estimate that I read somewhere between 250,000 and 500,000 pages of material to make my site. That comes in at around 1,000 books, if we count them a certain way. Maybe I read more, I don’t know. I really did not keep track, but I was a bookworm from the time that I could walk (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm) and have spent most of my "spare" time since 1990 reading the kind of material that became my site, which included quite a few periodicals that I subscribed to over the years. When I wrote the site that became my 2002 version, I spent a great deal of time in the King County and University of Washington libraries, in the periodical stacks, ordering books from distant libraries, and so on. I have a personal library of 2,000 books. I estimate that it took the equivalent of seven full-time years to create the essays on my site, from the study to the writing to the editing. That was all after I was radicalized by my wild ride with Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting). Today, I spend several hours a day reading. It is not all science, news, history, and the like, as I read fantasy literature all the time, too. My spiritual/channeled section of my person library amounts to several hundred books.
But all the reading in the world does not mean much unless experience forms the foundation of our awareness. As I have written plenty (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800), the people I am looking for have to have had some kind of awakening experience, or they are not really going to understand my work. My personal journey was the result of quite a few factors. One is likely how I came in and my soul's mission. I have had many psychic readings, including by channels, and they were all pretty consistent. I helped plan Earth School and this lifetime is my Big One, as I try to help humanity turn the corner. I am an Old Artisan (AV%2012.docx), and my website is a classic Old Artisan undertaking. On the more "earthly" front, I am a member of history's most privileged demographic group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), I received the genetic blessing of a genius-level IQ and a nearly photographic memory, and I had a Boy Scout mentality (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) from the beginning. It turns out that almost all of my fellow travelers on the FE front had similar traits. Those traits were kind of a prerequisite for the journey.
When you chase the biggest event in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), many issues come up, both for you and those around you, and it seems that people have to experience a little of it to understand. I had fleeting delusions of grandeur (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur) early in my FE journey, but it was almost immediately beaten out of me, and two years later, my life was destroyed and I sacrificed it to rescue Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it), which incredibly worked, in the greatest miracle I ever saw.
I had dreams of changing the energy industry as a teenager (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction), and a voice in my head changed my studies from science to business (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) and led me straight to Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). It is all so much larger than life that almost nobody in my life can even acknowledge those events, but they minimize them or prefer to act as if they never happened. As Brian O said, this is a very lonely path (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#lonely).
When I have watched FE aspirants go off the deep end in many ways, either through greed, thinking that they were the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and so on, it was always sad to witness, and further emphasized the many temptations and perils that attend the pursuit of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls), even leaving aside the organized suppression.
My approach tries to avoid those pitfalls, and on this thread, you can see the arrested development in the FE field (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), as I was asked dozens of times about the inventor of the hour and other meaningless FE-related topics. That post that I wrote yesterday (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=909706&viewfull=1#post909706) sums up the reactions that I get a lot of, in that people get overwhelmed by the information, get lost in the weeds, wonder what good any of it is, and all that I can say to that is such people are likely not in my target audience. People do not need to be scientists or geniuses to understand. I have had people from all walks of life, from all levels of intellectual achievement, from world authorities to the subject matter that I write about, to English majors to people who can barely string a sentence together, who did the work of digesting my writings, and eventually a light bulb went off for them. Some were brighter than others, but some kind of light bulb went off for them.
My editor was a case in point. She immediately understood that my work was something different (we met in a forum), and I got the lesson of my writing "career" from her red pen, but she was most of the way through editing my site, and on the last third of my medical racket essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), when the paradigmatic light bulb finally went off for her. Over the years, I have tried to keep her out of trouble, as she tried to navigate issues such as Global Warming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming). I hired her again to edit my big essay, and she and others really wondered what I was trying to accomplish with the first half of my essay. I got that a lot (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint). As she edited the last half of the essay, the method of my madness finally became clear. So, your comment about wondering about why I would write about fire, to eventually understand, is a pretty typical reaction for those who do the work. But it will only be in the essay's final chapters that it will really all come together and the essay will make sense as a whole. The understandings that I am trying to impart to my readers are not trivial, but will be critical for helping manifest the biggest event in the human journey. I will do another choir Q&A on what the point of my work is and why I think it is important. It is not the only game in town, but there is no other game like it on Earth.
Best,
Wade

Although I now consider it to be one of the most wretched religions in existence, one slight upside to being raised a Jehovah's Witness was that I was mostly free from indoctrination in nationalistic and patriotric ideology (the JWs regard world governments as all being controlled by Satan). That made it much easier for me to digest the material in your American Empire essay when I read it shortly after 9/11. It caused no cognitive dissonance for me. The way I feel now is that I like some of the Enlightenment values in the original Constitution, but agree that it was mostly only on paper and only applied sparingly in the real world.

...Many of the best ideas have languished for generations before they were "rediscovered" and adopted. Regarding breakthrough technologies, and I am not referring to organized suppression, the resistance to innovation is impressive. In my big essay, I mention how major theories were consigned to oblivion and the author died in obscurity, to only be vindicated generations later (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pioneers). That is actually tame compared to advances in technology...
As fate would have it, I came across this issue whilst reading a piece by Tom Bearden earlier.
A relevant snippet, for everyone's pleasure :
"Arthur C. Clarke said it this way [...]:
"If they [quantum fluctuations of vacuum] can be [tapped], the impact upon our civilization will be incalculable. Oil, coal, nuclear, hydropower, would become obsolete — and so would many of our worries about environmental pollution." "Don't sell your oil shares yet — but don't be surprised if the world again witnesses the four stages of response to any new and revolutionary development: 1. It's crazy! 2. It may be possible -- so what? 3. I said it was a good idea all along. 4. I thought of it first."
It's a part of human nature to strongly resist new ideas, and particularly upsetting ideas. Even Sigmund Freud, the founder of modern psychology, pointed it out in these words:
"There are three steps in the history of a great discovery. First, its opponents say that the discoverer is crazy; later that he is sane but that his discovery is of no real importance; and last, that the discovery is important but everybody has known it right along."
Just now, COP>1.0 energy science and notions are still largely in that first stage prescribed by Freud, just a little bit into the second stage, and struggling to get on into and through the second stage and into the third."
http://www.cheniere.org/articles/clean%20electrical.htm
In the piece Bearden looks at :
- How the mainstream science currently taught results in our building self-defeating electrical circuits, so that more fuel is needed to work our generators.
- How and why the science contradicting this outdated, perpetuated methodology is overlooked and suppressed by the scientific community (which is aside from the more direct, suppressive interventions from elite agencies.)
- Methods used by murderous agents to silence the inventors.
To clarify, if anyone doesn't know what I'm referring to, the intro to the article makes it clear :
"No electrical engineering department in the Western World presently teaches what powers an electrical circuit, or what actually powers the electrical power grid. None ever has. It also does not appear in a single electrical engineering textbook in the Western world, nor has it ever appeared in one.
All the hydrocarbons ever burned, nuclear fuel rods ever consumed, steam turbines turned, and generators rotated, have not directly added a single watt directly to the external power line and to the power grid. Nor has any windmill, nuclear power plant, battery, or hydroelectric generator or solar cell array. None ever will.
Every electrical circuit ever built — and those built today — are in fact powered by electrical energy extracted by the circuit dipolarity from the local seething vacuum, from active space itself. But our engineers are trained to build circuits which also self-destroy the extraction of that vacuum energy, faster than they power their loads."
I respect that you don't wish to delve into free energy science in this thread Wade. But I thought to share the first quote and then explain the context. The entire piece is engaging. Although I haven't been through all the references yet. Since there was no-one around to turn to in order to share my excitement with the optimistic realms of its content, I ventured here.
P.S. This shorter article addresses some of those same points Bearden makes about flawed electrical systems : http://www.rense.com/general75/simpl.htm
* * * * * * * *
P.P.S. One of Bearden's article references lead me to look up the wikipedia page of David J Bohm, the theoretical physicist, where the section on 'Thought as a System' quotes Bohm questioning what will happen to the human race with its growing technological power and creative/destructive potential. It goes on to quote his ideas about how thought has been evolving. How thoughts are shared, passed from one to another, adopted and adapted amidst the collective – and how that interconnected grid or sea of thoughts in which certain features seem to become relatively fixed (what Bohm referred to as 'the structure') probably consisted of very simple thought before civilisation. He suggested that with the increasing complexity of this structure our thought has more incoherence than before.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bohm#Thought_as_a_System
When I think of what this 'structure' contains, with our thoughts as its evolving constituent parts, I think of how it includes our awareness of history (artistic and political), of geography, of earth's systems, of constructed systems (economics, law, engineering...). How technology has helped grow our educational tools and freed us from drudgery in order to utilise them more. It was a reminder of how misguided it can be to judge the people of the past (both oppressors and oppressed) based on how we think today, and how much we can shape our future by altering our quality of consciousness.
Systems external to us are often conceived by a minority, but experienced and perpetuated by a majority. As they become more complex, so does the bulk of information digested by our busy minds. Much of it possibly lingering, unprocessed, in our subconscious not unlike a dull weight or an itch. This lead me again to think of the benefits of simpler systems in people's lives that can result from benign free energy application. The way goods manufacture, food cultivation, and homes made in the simplest and most effective way can be put in place locally in future, by individuals who are only making or growing what they need. Less clutter. Less infrastructure. Less hidden sources, hidden casualties, less hoarding. Less clinging to paperwork as proof of our connection to objects and situations in the physical world. More clarity. More elegant simplicity. More room for breathing in the beauty that naturally lives within and without. A lightness of being, not distorted or imbalanced by a contrast of exorbitant pain and inequality like we see in the world today, but supported by a world of shared abundance and of peace. Less guilt. Less noise. More connection to love, and to life. To the subtle sounds of our hearts and the divine pulses of the cosmos. How beautiful that could be for us.

Hi Enishi:
Call me surprised that you first read my work more than a decade ago. I encounter that once in a while, but not very often. Thinking that the world's governments are controlled by Satan is really not that far from the mark. :)
Kind of funny about the JWs. The gnostic sects (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#gnostics) considered the Old Testament's Jehovah to be Lucifer, and I see their point.
My American Empire essay was written as an antidote to American nationalism, which is really an imperialist ideology. All imperial ideologies are childish in their conception (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ww2), and American children being forced to worship a flag beginning in kindergarten (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#flag) is a classic instance of "get them while they are young (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms)." The Founding Father myths can be as much of a fairy tale (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#weems) as many Bible stories are. Congratulations on escaping your indoctrination. Really, not many accomplish it.
I'll write more later, but yes, the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution are something to look at with some appreciation, but those slave-owning Founding Fathers (about half of those who signed the Declaration of Independence (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#declaration) owned slaves) sure did not invent freedom. I'll write a pretty big post on how I see all of that all these years later. The studies for my big essay broadened my horizons beyond just thrashing childish belief systems, and the encounter of Europe with the Western Hemisphere, while it was history's greatest demographic catastrophe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2) which can definitely be called a genocide (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), was a watershed moment in other ways, too. I have gained a deeper appreciation of the trajectories of the peoples on both sides of the Atlantic, and the events that led to that inevitable collision of two peoples. As always, those with the superior energy practices (carrying capacity, in that instance) prevailed.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Yeah, Melinda, here is a better thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?14129-Free-Energy-Physics&p=138564&viewfull=1#post138564) to do that about Bearden. Tom's work is a mixed bag. That heat pump COP of greater than one is not a good example to use for "overunity", IMO, and I show why here (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#industrial). That said, I saw Mark C. holding his battered copy of Bearden's FE tome, and Bearden's mention of the truncation of the Maxwell's equations I see quoted all the time by FE folks. Some close to me think that Bearden is not who he appears to be, but he gained a bit of cred with me when he talked about the sting that almost got him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden), when a similar one almost got me the year before (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting).
Tom also worked closely with Sparky Sweet, and Sparky had the goods (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), which Tom unsuccessfully tried to reproduce for many years. People who have hung out with Tom say that it can be a bizarre experience. So, I don't know about Tom, and when he used heat pumps to introduce overunity, that kind of stuff really makes people wonder about Tom. Lots of FE theory out there.
That Arthur C. Clarke quote is an updated version of others that preceded it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#james).
Best,
Wade

Thank you Wade!
I understand the concept of what Bearden put forward, but definitely don't have the scientific nous to test it enough to analyse the logic / potential. Having started to read the text that you linked to (re: thermodynamics etc), I think it could take a while for my non-scientist brain to digest, but it will doubtless help, and save me a lot of time surfing or flexing my brow muscles at various internet debates. So I appreciate the pointers.
I think I was updating my post as you posted yours - hopefully with more relevant content. I'd be interested to know if you have any thoughts about it, but it's probably nothing new so I understand if you've got new text to post instead.
:)
Thanks again

Hi Melinda:
You are highlighting the problems with citing theorists such as Bearden. My interest really lies in helping people understand how energy runs the world, and we do not need to get into esoteric energy concepts, which may be inaccurate, to do that. If you cannot understand my thermodynamic explanation for why a heat pump's COP of greater than one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) has got nothing to do with FE (a totally orthodox explanation), then you surely will not understand Bearden's critique of the physics of electricity that is taught in universities today, or if it is a valid critique.
In my work, I do not discuss theories that are not either accepted by orthodoxy or posed by orthodox theoreticians. Bearden cited Bohm, and so do I (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bohm). But I do not make more of it than that. I am far more into a working piece of technology than I am the theory behind it. Most of such technology does not have much orthodox theory behind it. Actually, according to orthodox theory, the technology is not supposed to work at all. All FE technology defies the "laws of physics," which is partly why it is denied like it is.
You can buy a video from Bearden which shows Sparky Sweet's device putting out a million times the energy that went into it. It is only a video, not some peer-reviewed test, and if that video was all I had to go on, I would not recommend it. But somebody very close to me met with Sparky (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#sweet), watched his gizmo working, and the man was a world-class expert in electricity, and he said that Sparky's device should not have worked, and Sparky agreed, but then got it running as ice formed on it. I will never forget the awe in Mr. Advisor's voice as he described it operating. If that was the only account of Sparky's device, it would have been impressive enough to me, but Brian O was also Sparky's pal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sweet). Sparky began receiving death threats not long after he mailed working prototypes of his gizmo to the big energy institutions, and the death threats escalated to the point where Sparky fled into hiding, and Brian visited him in his hiding place (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky) a week before Sparky died of a "heart attack."
Tom worked with Sparky, and that is another reason why Tom has some cred with me. Watching Tom's video also shows another problem with the inventor's route to FE, in that a "proprietary technology" warning flashes on the screen several times. The proprietary technology route (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary) is one of the many doomed paths that inventors have tried.
I even cite a paper that Sparky wrote (http://www.rexresearch.com/sweet/1nothing.htm) to try explaining how his device worked, and Bearden has a paper just below it on the same page. If Sparky's device did not work, and I did not hear Mr. Advisor's tale of watching Sparky's device operate, and he did not tell me how impressive the technical explanation was (he read a book that Sparky lent him, which that paper was likely an excerpt from), I would not be mentioning Sparky's device.
Also, in my circles, ice forming on an FE device as it cranks up is one of the best pieces of evidence that it is tapping the ZPF. Max, who worked with James Gilliland (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), had a device that also got cold when it operated and cranked out that energy, and it stumped every scientist that looked at it. It should not have worked, but there it was, cranking out the energy. Max received the standard cloak-and-dagger response of organized suppression, the kind that orthodox debunkers scoff at.
Similarly, nobody can really explain how Brown's Gas can transmute radioactive material (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#yull), but the experiment has been performed by several national governments, and the experiment has been performed about a hundred times that I know of. China built Brown a city to research Brown's Gas and build Brown's Gas machines, and Dennis bought more than a million dollars of such machines from that city. I was the accountant for those transactions. So, again I was close to something that orthodox science has declared impossible (just as it declared man-powered flight "impossible," even as the Wright brothers were flying their planes through the air (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#wright)). The authorities declared Edison's light bulb "impossible" (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#edison) even it lit up the night at Menlo Park, as the public strolled under the "impossible" lights. Brian O told me that the denial in orthodox science is more entrenched today than it was when the Wright brothers first flew.
After Brian O visited FE labs across the world for several years, he then played the Paul Revere of FE for several years. After five years of playing Paul Revere, and receiving only fear and denial as a response (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) (the denial was usually of the "laws of physics" variety), Brian openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience).
Similarly, the microscopes of Rife (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife) and Naessens (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens) achieved optical resolutions that are even today considered "impossible," even though micrographs survive that prove Rife's "impossible" resolutions, and Naessens is still around. I have yet see orthodoxy even acknowledge the undeniable resolutions of those microscopes, which "defy the laws of physics." If those microscopes only achieved those resolutions, it would be news enough, but they also confirmed the work of a 19th-century scientist (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm) whose work Pasteur apparently plagiarized in his quest for riches and fame (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#pasteur), and those discoveries point to an entirely different foundation of microbiology than Pasteur's germ theory of disease, which may be a poorly understood plagiarism of his contemporary. I present some of the theory, as it is not hard for laypeople to understand, and those "impossible" microscopes show those dynamics. Call me impressed, and any attack on their work has to attack their microscopes, first, and I have yet to see such an attack that was the least bit rational.
That is all the long way of saying that I'll take data over theory, and Tom has some cred with me, but far from total, and if, as Martin Gardner (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#gardner) said, Tom's "PhD" behind his name was a mail order PhD (http://www.csicop.org/si/show/dr._bearden_vacuum_energy/), then that is more of the kind of behavior on the fringes that does it no favors. Tom makes many blunders in his presentations, which either means that he is incompetent or is playing some other game, the kind that has made people close to me suspicious about Tom.
In the end, FE physics discussions can go down the rabbit hole, and people like you will have no idea whether the ideas are valid or not, and the fringes are full of that kind of tripe and lead to Delusion Land. I stay away from it as much as I can. I try to present either data that I know to be robust, theory from orthodox theoreticians (even if still controversial), and theories that laypeople can understand with a little work that have empirical support for them, but they first need to understand the orthodox theories before they go flying off into fringe land. There is a mountain of chaff out there, and some of it may well be Bearden's theorizing.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Before I get into Europe's genocidal invasion of the Western Hemisphere, I want to briefly revisit my prior post. I have been encouraged to turn my site into a PhD, and I probably could try to, but I have no interest in playing that game, and that kind of self-seeking is the devil's flypaper for people like me. So, when I see Tom Bearden claiming a PhD that could be a mail order degree, the red flags definitely go up.
I am a layman addressing a largely lay audience, and earning a bunch of letters behind my name is not going to help get my message across to those I seek. The material can speak for itself. For the record, scientists and academics are the most avid readers of my work so far, and arguably the world's leading authority on the material covered in the my big essay's first half said that it was one of the best efforts that he ever saw (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint) (and that scientist is a "popularizer," too), and there is certainly nothing else like it on the Internet, for free. That essay's first half would be the crowning effort for a popularizing scientist's career, and I gave it away. It likely cost me $1 million to write it, and it is worth reading. :)
My big essay's first half also forms the foundation for the essay's last half, which is where I am really imparting the paradigmatic understandings that I am trying to help future members of the "choir" achieve. My sock-puppet Q&A of recent weeks on this thread is showing future choir members the kinds of discussions that I am planning to have, and they will be good discussions to have. I am not interested in discussing the fringe flavor of the day, the FE inventor of the hour, other threads at Avalon or anywhere else in cyberspace, except where it is really relevant to my work. Much of what people think is relevant is really extraneous. A lot of what I have seen posted on my thread is almost on the level of gossip, and we need to aim far higher if we are going to get anywhere, and that is one reason why I had to begin my own forum. The material in my essay is more than enough to tax somebody's mind for the rest of his/her lifetime. It will tax mine, and understanding that material is going to form the choir's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) foundation.
OK, on to Europe's invasion of the Western Hemisphere. The first work that I encountered that tried to deal with the scientific reasons for why Europe conquered the world was Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel, back in the 1990s. I would not call myself a big Jared Diamond fan, but his work can be helpful. I was already several years into my studies of Europe's conquest of the world when Guns, Germs, and Steel was published, but that book helped open up a few new avenues in my thinking, and my studies since 2002, after crystallizing my paradigm after reading some of Fuller's work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), went deep on many areas that Diamond touched on, as well as other subjects that helped me see a bigger picture of Europe's invasion of the Western Hemisphere and conquest of the world.
The bottom line is that Europe used the greatest energy technology yet invented, the ocean-going sailing ship, to turn the global ocean into a low-energy transportation lane (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2). Without that energy breakthrough, the conquest would not have happened. Until that time, the only ocean regularly sailed was the Indian Ocean, which was a far easier proposition than the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. All sailing on those violent seas were short excursions along the coasts, and none of that really happened in the Americas or Australia. Heck, Tasmanians and Australian aborigines were completely isolated by relatively small stretches of water, and while one route to the Americas was along the coast (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#violence1), it was via canoe, and the seafaring of the pre-Columbian Western Hemisphere was never much more than canoes. The peoples of Eurasia had a huge lead over the peoples of Africa, the Americas, and Australia. Why? That is where books like Guns, Germs, and Steel can shed some light.
Take the two centers of civilization in the Western Hemisphere, the "pristine (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1)" civilizations of Mesoamerica and the Andes in and near Peru. They were both Stone Age civilizations (although the Incas began working in bronze a little before Spaniards arrived), but neither one knew anything about the other, as their geographic isolation was great, because the Americas align along a north-south axis, so the spread of people, technology, and ideas would have to cross varying and often hostile biomes. While maize eventually spread from New England to Chile, seeds were easy to transport. Nothing else traveled like that that I know of. The potato and llama (the only pack animal in the Western Hemisphere) stayed in the Andes. That isolation kept those societies from "progressing" like those of Eurasia. In Eurasia, innovations from China, India, the Fertile Crescent, the periphery of the Mediterranean, and Europe could spread between those civilizations and mutually stimulate each other in ways that did not happen in the Western Hemisphere.
Not only could the peoples of Australia do no boating of any consequence, they never even developed agriculture, and were "stuck" at the hunter-gatherer phase, and were in constant territorial battles when Europeans "discovered" them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tasmania). It looks like Australians never had the confluence of circumstances that allowed agriculture to be invented on other continents (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian), so would likely have remained hunter-gatherers in a state of constant warfare for the next 100,000 years if not for the invasions that began in the 1700s.
When humans settled Australia and the Western Hemisphere, the animals on those continents never encountered humans before. Since large animals represent the biggest energy windfalls that a hunter-gatherer can hope to achieve (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi), humans quickly hunted the easy meat to extinction wherever they could, and virtually all of the megafauna of the Americas (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#westernmegafauna) and Australia (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) was quickly driven to extinction. For the peoples of the Americas, who did independently invent agriculture in at least one place (Mesoamerica) and maybe two (Peru), killing off all the megafauna also killed off almost all of their candidates for draft animals, which played a prominent role in the rise of civilization in Eurasia, and it was an energy event. The muscles of draft animals came in very useful for early civilizations, and Australia received no benefit and the Americas only a little.
The reason why Africa retained almost all of its megafauna, and Eurasia retained a significant portion, is that humans had been hunting there for hundreds of thousands of years, and large animals became wary of humans and were harder to hunt. However, Neanderthals, and later behaviorally modern Homo sapiens, learned to survive in cold climates and hunt animals along the tundra near the ice sheets, and those animals were driven to extinction, with mammoths most prominently (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gravettian).
So, African and Eurasian humans had a richer biological milieu from which to make domestic animals, and that put them "ahead" of the people of the other continents, who never even got to metal ages before Europeans arrived. Agriculture increased the land's carrying capacity for humans (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#population1) about 200 times over what hunter-gatherers could wrest from the land, and that completely explains why hunter-gatherers never stood a chance when they encountered agricultural peoples. One hunter-gatherer warrior, with his stone weapons, no matter how skilled, was no match for 200 peasants armed with metal hoes, much less steel-armored and armed Spaniards (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#first) riding horses.
So, those are the economic reasons why Europe conquered the world, but it would be a great mistake to think that Europe was "advanced" in all ways. When all the easy meat was rendered extinct worldwide, where agriculture independently began (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1), women did it as an extension of their gathering activities, and agriculture began in regions that had been particularly overhunted. So, the calories from meat declined (which was the province of men), and the calories from plants increased, and because women began to bring in more calories than men, something happened in the human line that had not been seen in at least 10 million years: societies became matrilocal instead of patrilocal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1).
Patrilocal societies, going back to gorillas and chimps, are run by male gangs and are exceedingly violent, and females bore the brunt of it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#infanticide1). In every place where agriculture began, civilization was a few thousand years behind it, and as the agricultural surplus grew so that redistribution became a "profession," and men eventually rose to dominance again as they used those hunting skills on each other (organized warfare (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare)), and got more involved in agriculture (particularly where their physical strength was useful for handling draft animals and the heavy labor needed to build civilization's infrastructure), the status of men rose to dominance again, and the status of women universally declined in all civilizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1) and did not begin to rise again (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) until the Industrial Revolution's energy-powered machines (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave) once again made the physical strength of men less important for a society's economy.
In North America's Eastern Woodlands, maize only made it there less than a millennium before Europeans arrived, so those were societies based on horticulture and women had that high status of early agricultural societies, those societies were matrilineal, and those were always the most peaceful early societies. When Europeans began invading North America, they had a high appreciation for the relatively gentle matrilineal tribes of the Eastern Woodlands, and running off and "going native" was an endemic problem for the first invaders from the British Isles (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#running), which had no experience with such matrilineal cultures. Captured white women were never raped by those tribes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#rape) of the Eastern Woodlands, which Europeans found astonishing, as raping captured women had been an ancient tradition in Europe.
As I show many times in my work, it was always about economics at its root, and economics could provide opportunities to radically change social organization, such as going matrilineal. When the bonobos' food supply doubled when gorillas left the area (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1), females and non-dominant males radically changed the social organization so that males no longer dominated, and those societies are more peaceful than any human societies have ever been, and bonobos settle everything with sex. Bonobos and humans are the only land animals that use sex for recreation (particularly at those levels) and not just procreation.
So, even as they were obliterating them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english), aspects of those matrilineal societies deeply influenced Europe and may have even led to the Enlightenment (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#voltaire). The American form of government was certainly influenced by the Iroquois Confederation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iroquois).
But the diseases that seem to have come from Europe's domestic animals decimated the natives of all lands outside of Eurasia and Africa, and was the greatest cause of the prodigious death tolls, but the attitude of Europeans was genocidal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), even the Spanish. The main difference between the Spanish and English/American experience in the New World was that the Spanish had a century-long lead, conquered and plundered those first and largest civilizations of the Western Hemisphere, and enslaved those peoples for the short-lived plunder of gold and silver (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#biggest), in the primitive economic understanding of Spanish civilization. Spain soon went bankrupt (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#bankrupt) and was arguably worse off after that century of plunder and genocide (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#decline) than when it began. Spanish observers, beginning with Columbus (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#work), lamented the vast genocide of Native Americans, as dead slaves cannot get any work done.
The English and Americans, however, encountered unbelievably rich lands that their proto-industrial methods in England could readily exploit, so the genocide of the Indians was cheered the entire time, all the way to the Wounded Knee massacre (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wounded) nearly three centuries later. Designing the plan to swindle the Indians of their lands was George Washington's greatest achievement (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint), but his biographers cannot even bring themselves to mention it.
In summary, the biological/economic basis for Europe's conquest of the Western Hemisphere and the entire planet has been a subject of study for me since the 1990s, and it was highly educational. Any explanation that strays far from those dynamics is going to be dubious, but people regularly ignore ultimate causes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate) to focus on proximate ones. I found that approaching those issues as a scientist rather than a historian or political theorist (or "mystic") is the path to learning the important lessons.

...If you cannot understand my thermodynamic explanation for why a heat pump's COP of greater than one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) has got nothing to do with FE (a totally orthodox explanation), then you surely will not understand Bearden's critique of the physics of electricity that is taught in universities today, or if it is a valid critique...
That's true. It took a couple of readings yesterday of that section you linked to, before I felt I had an understanding.
I apologise for bringing something so irrelevant to your thread. I don't (and never did) consider myself qualified to discuss the scientific end of things, though I do make an effort to understand it. But with my (very) limited understanding I'll likely be better off (as you say) reading up on more useful areas.
Apologies once again for the irrelevant post. But thank you for the detailed response.

No harm done. It is a jungle out there. :)
I have spent plenty of time in rabbit holes, being led astray, and the like as I pursued the truth and what was important. I am hoping to be some kind of native guide who can guide choir hopefuls around the hazards, and there are many.

Hi:
I am not writing this to get on Tom's case, but to show how the FE field is regarding Dennis. The best heat pump, and also heating system, ever put on the world market was what Dennis sold, and he put it on people's homes for free (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). Dennis's Seattle company's being taken out (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) is both the greatest effort that I know of to bring alternative energy to market, and one of the most spectacular snuff jobs of alternative energy technology, exceeded in ways by what they did in Ventura (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit).
Dennis's heat pump got as high as a COP of 12, it regularly got seven, and the inventors actually cut their performance data in half (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#cop) in order to stop being laughed at by engineers for its "impossible" performance. The standard air-to-air heat pumps of the day got about a two, and Dennis's typically got around six and higher. So, in that paper by Bearden, he actually mentioned heat pumps that get up to four. That was written nearly 20 years after Dennis was wiped out. My studies of thermodynamics, as I tried to understand why Dennis's heat pump worked like it did, and whether marrying that heat pump to Mr. Mentor's engine (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) could produce free energy, are what led to my little presentation in my energy racket essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#industrial), and show why Tom's use of heat pumps as an example of an "overunity" system, as a segue to FE devices, is a poor one. I also find it ironic that he mentions heat pumps, but not only does he not mention Dennis's, but says that heat pumps can get up to four. It is as if Dennis's heat pump never existed. I see that all the time, so as I read a paper that treats Dennis, or non-treats him like that, I am very used to it, so I did not take umbrage at that article, but the irony is not lost on me.
Another big FE voice went out of this way to disparage Dennis's heat pump, in stating that the heat pump/heat engine combo to make FE that the author referred to was not Dennis's. And in the same article, a few paragraphs later, he libeled Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel). Those are some of the reasons why I do not want anything to do with today' FE field. Not many in it have the right stuff. Dennis, Brian, and a few others did, but it was only a few that I saw, although I really did not spend all that much time in the milieu. When I saw the big names in action, who were treated like heroes in the field, and saw how they treated Dennis and Brian, it told me all that I needed to know.

Hi:
I have mentioned that many of my fellow travelers began their FE journeys (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) with the energy crisis that ended the Postwar Boom, but none of us really thought about FE at the beginning, and few if any of us had even heard of FE. But all roads led to FE, and each one of us had interesting personal journeys to get there. On one hand, we were trying to solve the problems of running out of fossil fuel energy, on the other, we could see where FE could take us (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
Because my fellow travelers were mostly overgrown Boy Scouts (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), we were trying to achieve our visions of heaven more than we were trying to avoid the visions of hell (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). One was motivated by love, and the other by fear. In my experience, the motivation by love is the fun one. :)
We also realized that FE made the visions of a healed planet and humanity feasible (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions), and without it, they weren't. And that, probably more than anything else, is my big essay's message. It is probably FE or bust for humanity. This week, I will edit the big essay's last half, searching for typos and style issues. Like I did for the big essay's first half recently, the changes will be subtle. All of my site's essays have had several rounds of editing, which is just normal for any writing process for material like mine. At this time, with my editing most of my site's essays this year, it is all up-to-date, as far as being aligned with my understanding of the state-of-the-art of the issues that I write about. I do not know of any uncorrected blunders in my work, but I might find one tomorrow. :)
Time for bed.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I just finished editing a couple of chapters (tiny tweaks, as usual), and just finished the fire and growing the human brain chapter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1), and I admit that it is fun for me to read, especially when I have had a break from it. I can think of a bunch of topics of discussion from editing those chapters, and will do one based on Wrangham's cooking hypothesis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking).
Q: Wade, you write a great deal about Wrangham's cooking hypothesis, which is considered marginal today. I am surprised to see you promoting something as "fringe" as that. How important can it really be?
A: Great question. It could be argued that I am being seduced by a clever new hypothesis that has slim evidence for it, and time will tell how Wrangham's hypothesis fares, but I think that it has a great deal going for it and the issues it addresses are very relevant to my essay's themes.
Whatever the fate of Wrangham's hypothesis will be, the subject matter is extremely important on a number of fronts. I almost use it like I do the controversy over the Cryogenian Ice Ages (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#challenges) and the Shuram excursion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#canfield2), as an example of how science works. Like most audacious hypotheses, Wrangham's hypothesis calls for a discovery that nobody has really confirmed yet. The date of the control of fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1) is critical to aspects of Wrangham's hypothesis. Wrangham has presented a lot of circumstantial evidence for the early control of fire, such as the anatomical changes in Homo erectus (growth of brain, adaptations for sleeping on the ground and walking great distances, and its shrinking digestive system, including the teeth), the split between the honeyguide and its ancestors (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#honeyguide), but his hypothesis is not going to be widely accepted until there is physical evidence of fire of around two million years ago. Scientists have been using new tools and techniques to roll back the date of controlling fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire4). I will follow those developments with great interest, and even if Wrangham's hypothesis dies out or becomes cannibalized and pieces become incorporated into new hypotheses, the subject matter is vitally important for understanding human evolution and even aspects of today's societies.
The control of fire was one of the greatest watershed events in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1) and made humans radically different from all animals that came before them. The significance of the control of fire cannot be overestimated, and was arguably humanity's first Epochal Event, even more important than fashioning stone tools (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1). It definitely happened long before the appearance of our species, and our species would likely not have appeared without the control of fire.
Even today, industrial economies are dependent on the control of fire. About all that humans are doing with hydrocarbon energy is burning it for heat or running our machines. It is really only a more sophisticated version of the first campfires.
Understanding the control of fire and where it fits into the human journey is vitally important to understanding where humanity is today. I will follow that controversy with great interest in coming years.
Best,
Wade

The cooking hypothesis makes perfect sense to me. I suspect that with FE we would see further physiological and behaviorial changes over the next several million years, perhaps eventually looking similar to classic "grays", with larger brains and diminished musculature/sexual dimorphism.

Hi:
I just tweaked the chapter on the rise of the human super-predator (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2), and as usual, I could probably write 50 different posts on the subjects that that chapter covers, but I will just make one representative choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, so what led to humanity's domination of Earth?
A: Boy, that is a big question. I think that a very important concept in my essay is that life on Earth could have gone in many different directions. However, the organisms that thrived were those that played the energy game the best (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nicheenergy), and the big innovations of life on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) were usually energy related. The creatures that played the energy game the best did well, while the others became marginalized or went extinct. But there is a huge caveat to that rule. Many "disruptive" events have happened over the course of life on Earth, and what may have led to success in one era led to extinction in another.
For instance, growing large was the strategy of plants and animals from the beginning, from the Cambrian Explosion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#size2) to the invasion land by plants and the appearance of trees (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#firsttrees). But life was always a gamble. Dinosaurs had energetic advantages over other land animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lystrosaurus1), especially the line that became mammals, and it led to nearly 200 million years of dominance. So, archosaurs dominated all of Earth's ecosystems, and got all the best stuff, which was always primarily in terms of energy, but when a catastrophic energy event happened courtesy of a bolide (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), dinosaurs found themselves in the worst position and all died off, and those that had been eking out existences on the margins came to dominate, primarily mammals. Some mammals soon got as big as dinosaurs, and when the achieved their maximum size (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsize), they stayed that way until humans arrived 40 million years later and again turned that advantage into a fatal disadvantage, as they drove most or Earth's larger animals to extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) to fuel their conquest of Earth.
The strategy of growing large also was a winner for plants for nearly 400 million years, until humans came along and learned how to burn them up. Then big trees began to go the way of the dinosaurs. The same happened with whales (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#whale1), as they invaded an empty niche and did great for 40 million years, until humans arrived, and then they were quickly driven to the brink of extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#whaling). So, the energy practices of highly successful organisms met energy-devouring humans, and then it was game over.
So, I have kind of already answered that question, but it can become more human-specific. Basically, when humans developed an unprecedented toolset that included sophisticated weapons, clothing (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#progress), fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), boats (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#boat1), and the mastery of language (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#language), which allowed for quick learning adaptations, Homo sapiens was ready for the show, and a few hundred of them conquered Earth over the next 50,000 years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dna2) and nothing could stand in their way, including all other human species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal) that existed when that founder group left Africa (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit). It was an onslaught that no other creature had ever inflicted on Earth's ecosystems, and humanity came out on top. No animal ever dominated Earth like humans have. Does that answer it?
Best,
Wade

Hi Enishi:
Wrangham's hypothesis indeed makes a lot of sense, and aspects of it are almost certainly true. Cooking would have had a huge impact on humanity, including anatomically. If his hypothesis does not prove accurate in all of its particulars, it is a "big idea" hypothesis that deserves a great deal of testing.
Yes indeed, an FE-based civilization would see plenty of evolutionary changes, even leaving aside genetic engineering. There are probably no mesomorphs (or endomorphs), in this society (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). You may be aware of what research has found for ancient humans. Their brains were 10% larger than ours 30,000 years ago, and they would have kicked butt in our Olympics and dominated all strenuous sports. Chimps traded brains for brawn when they split from gorillas (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#migratehome), and the human line continued that trend (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit). A chimp can easily kill a human.
That growing brain of the human line created great problems for mothers, and death in childbirth was a big problem. The gray "solution" of cloning is one way to do it. :)

Hi:
I have long written about the USA's torture programs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mitrione). The USA trained Latin American torturers for decades at Fort Benning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#terrorism). It is well known that the USA not only tortured people at Gitmo, but had a bunch of other detention and torture centers, some farmed out to "allies," so that the USA would not have to face human rights issues.
In the wake of the today's release of the USA's (heavily watered down) torture report (I try to avoid the USA's mainstream media on issues like this – the British media is far better on these kinds of subjects (1 (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/cia-torture-report-11-ways-in-which-the-cia-was-worse-than-it-ever-admitted-9913528.html), 2 (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2014/dec/09/cia-torture-report-released-senate)), and with some exceptions (1 (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/09/the-most-gruesome-moments-in-the-cia-torture-report.html), 2 (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/the-most-infuriating-details-of-the-torture-report-that-people-are-posting-to-twitter/)), the USA's alternative media has yet to weigh in). Op eds like this (http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/dec/09/america-torture-cia-report-defenders) one will not run in the USA's media.
Bush (http://rt.com/usa/212499-george-bush-cia-torture/), Cheney (http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/12/09/389458/cheney-defends-cia-torture-program/), the CIA, and friends like Murdoch (1 (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/fox-melts-down-after-torture-report-the-united-states-of-america-is-awesome-we-are-awesome/), 2 (http://www.wsj.com/articles/cia-interrogations-saved-lives-1418142644)) are rushing to justify torture. People were tortured to death, people who were innocent. The CIA always lies. It is their job (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#intelligence).
I am not sure how I feel about any of it. We have murdered several million people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), quite indefensibly, since 2001, but none of it will ever get more press coverage than torture centers will. The torture report is a kind of limited hangout and distraction, it seems to me. I am sure that almost nobody outside the USA is surprised in the slightest, and I doubt how much it will help any Americans wake up. We will see.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I recently wrote about the Hitler mentions in my work (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=909462&viewfull=1#post909462), which the "skeptics" do not like. I found myself recently digging into my library and rereading parts of Norman Rich's Hitler's War Aims. Hitler was frank in Mein Kampf about his grand plans, which Rich discussed. Hitler really admired the way that the British had viciously built their empire. All of the "free market" ideology emanating from British economists was a load of crap. The British superiority of violence paved the way for its "free market" practices, and Hitler pointed it out.
The USA is history's most racist nation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jefferson), and Hitler received his anti-Jewish ideology from one of the USA's leading industrialists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#ford). Hitler truly believed in a destiny for the Germanic race, and like Marx, whose work he studied, he believed that the establishment of a German empire in Eastern Europe could only be accomplished though violence, and Hitler particularly admired the way that the English and Americans did it in North America: exterminate the natives and take their lands. That was the way to do it, to keep the race pure. Hitler's lebensraum policy was little more than a retread of the USA's Manifest Destiny ideology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#steal2), which was a modern version of the Jewish Promised Land ideology.
Hitler felt that the Spanish method, of making harems out of native women and making a bunch of "half-breeds" diluted the strength of the race, and that the British method of ruling their empire (tens of millions ruling hundreds of millions) was unwieldy and doomed to fail. Hitler actually felt a noble calling, and in the 1930s he wanted to ally with the British against the French and Soviets. Hitler sought a quid pro quo with the British in which he would respect their imperial concessions if he could have Eastern Europe, which he would treat as English and American settlers had treated North America.
As crazy as it may have seemed, Hitler just wanted to come to the imperial table and carve out lands for his "settlers." He saw himself carrying the "White Man's Burden" for Germanic people. When you get down to it, the only difference between him and the English and Americans was seeing Slavic peoples like the English and Americans saw the Indians. Of course, the Jews would have to go, too, and Hitler planned to expel them, as they had been expelled so many times before. When it turned out that no other nation would take them, that was when Hitler began thinking in terms of extermination (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#exterminate).
This stuff is not even controversial, as far as the facts and interpretation go, but do not count on the British or American people to do much introspection on those issues. I found myself thinking about it again, as I read about the torture report, the defenses being put up by Bush (whose family supported Hitler (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#bush1)) and company, as they parse words and call it "not quite torture" or justify the "good intelligence" that it obtained. The Nazis even used the same terms (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/12/nazis-used-enchanced-interrogation-techniques-u-s-even-called-thing.html) that the USA has been using for its torture. Does the fact that the USA founded the CIA with Nazis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#gehlen) have anything to do with it?
The USA had a window open for a little introspection today, but I doubt that many will avail themselves of the opportunity. But some might.

Wade,
Went for a hike today since our Wisconsin weather has been a bit on the nasty side the past few weeks.
In the Mid West we get this not winter weather in Nov and part of Dec but its tough going for a cyclist:(
I have a question for you...
What of the Bonaboe monkeys and how they lived in trees and when the surface dwelling Apes departed there territory there food source doubled since they could forage on the ground for that food source also.
Q: How did this effect their society in terms of the females taking control of the male gangs with the help of co-operating males to reign in the male gangs and to control their violent tendencies?
I was thinking about this on my hike today and your post above about our out of control human male(military) gangs who are competing for the low EROI oil in the mid east and these "male" gangs are not just American but of several nations now with weapons so terrible that they could destroy us all and the earth with it.
Could you explain how Women could come to the fore in American society in particular since our society is the most violent to effect change with co-operating males to effect a change to reign in our terrible male(military) gang problem?
For example, how in American society we are expected to reverence a military vets service and give them free education?
The women in my family find this particularly ridiculous....to reward a young man for maiming and killing people while peaceful non military young folks must take out student loans and suffer?
This is an important topic for American society Wade, and possibly a source of information about human nature and how to deal with this massive problem which IMO is blocking the implementation of free energy projects already payed for by the American people under various national security letters and basic secrecy.
thanx

Hi Nine:
It was not so much that the chimps came down from the trees and ground-foraged, but the gorillas left the area during a glacial maximum when the rainforest shrank, and they never returned. But you are right in that the fruit was in the trees, and the leafy snacks (gorilla food) were more on the ground. But the chimps did not live in the trees. They just lived on the rainforest periphery more and had to range far to find their fruit staple, while gorillas did not have to range that far. The gorillas got the good stuff, due to their size (they would win any fight with a chimp).
If you study hunter-gatherers, there is an enforced egalitarianism so that nobody gets too much power (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason). Bonobos did it differently. When they could have stable foraging parties that were more than twice what chimps could manage, females could go along. That doubling of the food supply allowed for that social organization, but that was not all. The females then used sex for social bonding, largely between females. They settled everything with sex, and when two bonobo bands encountered each other, the females from the each band would kind of start an orgy, and this overcame the patrilineal nature of chimps, where the females were isolated and the related males formed their coalitions.
So, the coalition of the "sisterhood" and non-dominant males broke up the violent males gangs that vied for dominance, and bonobo males get their status through their mothers. So, even though females still left their natal society to mate, those female bonds formed female-run societies. Infanticide (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#infanticide1) ended, the males do not fight for dominance, and they are peaceful. It was an amazing transformation, and the females took advantage of relative economic abundance to do it.
The closest thing to bonobo society (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) among pre-civilized humans was matrilineal societies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), generally horticultural societies in which women brought in the most calories. Their status rose enough so that men had to leave their natal societies to mate, which broke up male gangs of relatives that vied for dominance, like chimps.
The only thing that I see creating the opportunity for radical social and political change is economic abundance. The bonobo situation, or the horticultural situation, shows how social change is dependent on economic change (the very point of my Epochal Event perspective), and until there is absolute economic abundance, we will have wars. Fuller saw this clearly (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). That is why I keep saying that the social circle approach will not work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and almost all "activism" hacks at branches, at most. Reshuffling the social and political deck to make things better, in an economic decline, is not feasible, IMO. It has never worked that way.
There are no social or political solutions to the predicament that humanity is in, or the USA. Politics and social organization is the tail, not the dog, which Fuller also understood (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics). We are running out of the energy that powers industrial civilization. Everything else is noise and an effect. As the USA's energy consumption declined (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), so has its standard of living, which has led to the increasing social dysfunction that we see every day.
The kind of world that FE can make possible (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is not possible without FE, particularly the cognitive and social changes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) that I envision. This is the conundrum that all FE activists eventually encounter, if they walk the path very far. TPTB are actively blocking FE from public awareness and use (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) so that they can block any economic changes that will allow for the radical social and political changes that will make their positions obsolete. Godzilla knows full well that the world will end as we know it if FE makes its appearance, and he does not want to lose his position, even if his game makes Earth inhabitable (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars), but as I have stated, sanity is slowly dawning on them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal). They have strange bedfellows among the 99.9% of humanity that reacts with fear and denial (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) at the mere mention of FE. That is one of the bizarre aspects of the entire situation. It is like the sheep crave the shepherd, even as they are being stampeded off the cliff.
Personally, I have really given up on American society, as far as it being the catalyst for making FE happen (Dennis (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872) and Brian (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland) were both run out of the USA), and I am trying to form a global effort, looking for those needles in haystacks scattered across the planet. The USA is dead, as far as I am concerned, and is quickly going the way of Rome (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peaceofrome).

In your opinion, when the American empire collapses will not the land and the people still be here? Or will it devolve into war and chaos as the conspiracy buffs pontificate?
I am quite sure the spooks and military folk read this stuff. One thing I understand quite well is how bureaucracy really works....
Do they not understand that their OPM pension is tied to this stuff? If anyone doubts this they are quite foolish Wade!!...:rolleyes:
Would it not make more sense to give up some power now to prevent such a catastrophe?
Wade I view the problem as global in nature and no bank reform will fix the problem nor as you say is there a political solution to the conundrum...nor is there an ultimate military solution that I see other than destruction.
What I see being played is a "USA" bad vs the "east" powers good type of scenario and that they all are in on the game ....as it were and of course ....just an opine....:wizard:
With just a shift to the east by the global overlords as a pal of mine calls them...
Wade's world is saving me a lot of time that I have been spending on the net reading about conspiracy with no power whatsoever to do anything about what I might read and in the end what you posted to me through your links is how the world really works and I thank you for that Wade...:cool:

Hi Nine:
I have written about the organized suppression of high MPG carburetors and cars for a long time (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb1). Dennis's being run out of the country (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872) is just the latest instance. Yeah, you are not going to bring anything new to the energy and FE table that I am not bombarded with. About the only energy-related developments that I am really interested in on the Internet are scientific papers that cover the subject matter in my big essay. Almost everything else is just chatter, especially related to FE, and I am bombarded with it. FE newbies wander all over the Internet and bring me stuff that they think is new and unusual, and it is stuff that I have been familiar with for many years. I have been at this since I was 16 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction). YouTube in particular is not where you are going to find much new and important, even though some of my interviews are hosted there (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU8iC3G30EA). YouTube is the TV of the Internet, and interviews and TV can only scratch the surface of the material. My big essay and website is about going deep and reaching comprehensive understandings, and there is nothing else like it that I know of, which is why I did it.
My "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)" approach is what is new and unusual in the field, but as you can see on another thread recently started, people are stuck in the inventor of the hour, the FE inventor who claims that he is the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and so on. It is why I needed to start my own forum.
I wrote on this thread about European cars that get much higher MPG than American cars (and they are even built in the USA!) that have been banned in the USA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=497877&viewfull=1#post497877), and that 300 MPG car is just the latest instance, and the masses are clueless. That is why the collapse of Detroit is strangely poetic to me.
Dennis and I, and our merry band, gave Godzilla some interesting days at the office and sleepless nights, and Mr. Professor and I springing Dennis from jail (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it) was not supposed to happen, so Godzilla has never forgotten about me. I have been contacted by soldiers who read my work, and I am sure that it is on spook reading lists. But it is easy to get sucked up into and strung out on "conspiratorial" goings on, and IMO, it is just one more way to think like a victim (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness).
As you get to the end of my big essay, you will see that the very idea of nations will disappear when FE makes its appearance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), so your concerns will simply become meaningless in a world based on FE, similar to those New Yorkers in 1900 who were so concerned about the horse manure piles in 2000 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=909328&viewfull=1#post909328). So yes, North America will still exist as a land mass, but today's political and social organization will disappear, cities will become obsolete (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), and almost nothing about today's world will look the same, but nobody will mourn its passing. The world can begin to look like this (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748).
To return to my previous post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=910792&viewfull=1#post910792) for a moment, I have long written about Peak Oilers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm), environmentalists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists), and others with their austere "solutions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity)," which nobody in their right mind would want to pursue, not with what I know exists, as do my fellow travelers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). The "vision" of those Peak Oilers and environmentalists literally turns people suicidal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation). But they have the ear of "progressives," and my fellow travelers have banged on every door that there is to bang on, and there is nobody at home, anywhere on Earth, so I will have to roll my own (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why).

Hi:
I am in the middle of editing my Domestication Revolution chapter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3). I am finding the stray typo or something to tweak ever-so-slightly. What a monster of a chapter, and this is where many readers begin to perk up, as it is more familiar to them. There are no great works of literature or history that exist from preliterate times. :) Investigations of everything before the invention of writing are largely the province of scientists.
I want to briefly revisit my previous post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=910908&viewfull=1#post910908), and the Peak Oilers, environmentalists, and so on. If you read Peak Oiler literature, they unremittingly beat the drum of doom, as the end of the Hydrocarbon Age is coming quickly (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), and maybe quickly enough to avoid an environmental calamity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), if we do not have World War III fighting over the remaining oil (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII), which may already be happening. Their "solution" is a 90% depopulation of Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity), because we are running out of energy, and the carrying capacity of today's Earth (which has already been severely degraded (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biomass1)) in the absence of fossil fuels is probably less than a billion people.
Some of the same drumbeaters feigned interest in FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#heinberg), and one killed himself in his despair (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation) of where it is all heading. I eventually understood that their reaction was a close cousin to those people I knew who chose certain death rather than question their beliefs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom). For me, it was like trying to understand dark pathers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), it was so surreal to me.
So, question your beliefs (which you did not get via experience, but indoctrination), and heaven on Earth can beckon (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), or stay addicted to your perspective and seek certain doom. What makes it really bizarre with Peak Oilers and environmentalists is that for their "plan" to "work," all of humanity would have to reach unprecedented levels of sentience and essentially commit mass suicide on behalf of the planet. Any volunteers for that? Their plan requires it, although with the kind of "plan" that they advocate, it is far likelier that Hitler-type figures will arise and "get the job done," and rather brutally, of course, making sure that "their people" did most of the surviving. It is absolute insanity to think that such a "plan" would have a prayer, and makes my plan seem like the easiest thing on Earth to do. But it's not. It might the hardest plan on Earth to implement, but it would be child's play compared to convincing about seven billion people that they need to die off, and soon.
That is just a sampling of the craziness that I continually encounter. It comes from all directions, and I was able to eventually see it all as an addiction to scarcity.
Back to work.
Best,
Wade

Wade,
I just came across the following words towards the end of your big essay:
I received the impression that the zero-point field was divine in nature, and that if an intelligent species did not approach the issue with sufficient divine intention, then it could not access the field or access it for long. The GCs might be doing humanity a favor by acting as some kind of integrity threshold that humanity must clear before the path to FE will open……………………………………………..If love is understood as the best of all possible feelings, and acts from the heart are recognized as the most powerful that we can achieve, that is probably sufficient spiritual understanding, and achieving some mystical experiences may be critical for awakening the aspirant. Anything less than a divinely intended approach toward FE may not work, for reasons that go far beyond organized suppression or the public’s inertia. That is just something that slowly dawned on me, which I cannot prove to anybody, but it guides my thinking and efforts.
You may not be able to prove it, but i suspect those sufficiently heart-centered will recognize the authenticity of such words.
Perhaps you'd be willing to expand on the concept somewhat. This is the aspect of the conundrum which has possibly been focused on the least and yet may well be the crux of the whole subject (imho - not that I have any experience or direct insight into the FE topic - it's just a hunch/feeling). Maybe tapping into "god-consciousness" in light of the FE task will provide the divine insight required to implement it, as in some of the other mystically guided discoveries mentioned previously in the essay.

Hi Akasha:
That is a huge and important subject that I could write for days on, but I will try to give the short version, if I can. :)
It is rooted in my experiences most of all, but it is also something that came from my spiritual studies. I write about it in a few places on my site, such as here (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). I have stated many times on this thread that love and FE are joined at the hip, in both practical and mystical ways. In order to really begin to understand where I am coming from, I need to start at the beginning, I suppose.
I was a precocious, over-grown Boy Scout from the time I was born, and became a bookworm from the time I could walk (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm). The last time I saw my mother, she was demented, but she repeated something I had heard her say before, in that I was a freak. I was her first child, born at the peak of the Baby Boom, but I was highly unusual. My mother would say, "Doesn't he even cry?" My brother born a year later more than made up for it, and he was a trouble-maker from the time he was born and had graduated to criminal activity as a teenager. I have a genius level IQ, but it was only the third highest in my nuclear family. Three geniuses and two whose IQs were about 90 and 80. That "intelligence" spread sure made for some odd family dynamics. So, I had the first child's disease and looked out for my brothers, and by the time I went to school, I was immediately recognized as gifted, and was in gifted programs throughout school. I was in training to become a scientist, but I had my mystical awakening at age 16 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva). In my second year of college, I reached my first existential crisis when I realized that I did not want to spend my life in a chemistry lab. After months of directionless flailing around, a desperate prayer was answered, and a voice in my head suggested that I might change my studies from science to business (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), and I became an accountant. I was always at the top of nearly all of my classes (especially math and science, but also history, English, and other subjects), and it was no different when I began to study business.
But I can clearly see the pattern of my approach and study back then that is evident in my writings today. While I was studying accounting and business, I was also reading The Aquarian Gospel (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#aquarian) every night, and reading Richard Bach and Seth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth). I read the newspaper every day from age 10 to 30 (thinking that I was getting the "news (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big)" :) ), had my first girlfriend (we lasted two years, and she dumped me the week after we got to the college that I followed her to), was a track star, worked in the restaurant of a retirement home, and was living large. I so clearly recall that first semester of my business studies, when I had three classes: Introduction to Bookkeeping, Introduction to Business, and Philosophy 101. I tried to marry them all together in my mind, along with my spiritual studies. I wish I still had a paper that wrote in my philosophy class, in which I tried to marry Jesus's message with the philosophers'. It would give me a good laugh today.
I see myself as a kind of mystical version of Ralph McGehee in those days (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#synopsis). Oh, were we naïve, and we believed the BS, just like Dennis did (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), and just like Brian (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early) and Mr. Professor (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) did. I woke up a lot faster than Ralph did, as I began questioning my business school indoctrination (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) immediately after graduating. But we believed in the ideal, and had a need to believe, while everybody else just accepted whatever cover story could salve their conscience as they went about their lives. How on Earth could Ralph or I believe that the CIA or capitalism could be vehicles of the light? Well, it was what we were raised on, is all that I can say.
My cognitive dissonance began upon graduation, and within a couple of years, I was thrust into a situation which eventually made it clear that my profession was worthless (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting). While in LA, which were my life's unhappiest years (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), I got pretty deeply involved in the mystical stuff (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#tomato), subscribed to the "alternative" Christian Science Monitor (again, I had a lot to learn (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big)), and was pretty frustrated, as the gulf between what I did for a living and my energy dreams was so vast that they seemed to be on opposite ends of the galaxy. But I was such an avid mystical student and knew that love and integrity were the keys. I clearly recall being enthralled by my mystical studies, but wondered what on Earth they had to do with making a living. I was about to find out.
Eight largely frustrating years after the voice first spoke to me, I felt backed into a corner again and for the second and so far last time in my life, I prayed for guidance, and the voice came through again (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). The next week, I was interviewing at Dennis's company in Seattle. As I write this, I have a hard time believing that it happened, and I lived it.
Anyway, the rest is history, and Dennis could not get rid of me. I recently made a series of post on those days (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042), with some anecdotes that I had not previously revealed. It was then that my spiritual training began to come in handy. I could see a great soul in Dennis. You really have to see him to believe him, but I watched him try to maneuver the company through the deaths blows that were being rained on it, and it was inspiring to witness. As I noted in that series of posts, the mark of my naïveté was thinking that everybody there was motivated like Dennis and I were. I began to impress Dennis as I busted my tail, almost for free, for three months, reconstructing the company’s books, before the company was stolen. One night, after a couple of months there, I drove Dennis home from work, and he told me about his employee who died, courtesy of Bill the Hit Man (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), and I could tell how deeply it impacted Dennis.
As I have written about plenty, when my boss helped engineer the theft of the company from Dennis, and all of those "loyal" employees cheered as the theft was complete, it was one of my first awakening moments (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient1). Three years later, my life was shattered and my journey's primary lesson had been driven into my head in no uncertain terms: personal integrity is the world's scarcest commodity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn). I saw that people's lack of integrity was why efforts like ours failed, and it was not so much all the psychopaths that worked in law enforcement, the media, and for Godzilla, but because the people in the efforts had such low integrity that if the effort did not self-destruct first, from greed, delusions of grandeur, and the like, just a little organized suppression defeated them, as the efforts imploded in a bloodbath.
This is where my mystical training came in handy. When all of those people acted so dishonorably (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked) (Dennis and Mr. Professor were beacons in the darkness (and that voice led me to both of them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3)), but there were only a few of us), I could see that fear was at the root of their behaviors. Love and integrity are the same thing, or maybe it is more accurate to say that acts of integrity arise from love. So, I could see how fear was the problem, and love was the solution. But manifesting love in a world of scarcity and fear is no easy trick. Nine has an evangelical Christian background and wonders why Dennis is a literalist Christian, and my reply was that it saw Dennis through his trials and he was raised with that stuff (but did not believe it as a child), but it is what is in Dennis's heart that makes him great, not what is in his head, and I saw that in all the greats that I have known. So, in very practical ways, fear defeated FE efforts, from Godzilla on down, and the great hearts of the greats I knew was the only thing that gave any FE effort a prayer of success. But a hero and saint here and there cannot get it done (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), which eventually led to my "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)" strategy. All of those failed paths to FE that I list (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), to one degree or another, are doomed because of a lack of integrity.
But that is just one aspect of the love/integrity issue and FE, and I'll tell a little technical tale. In the published version of Mark C.'s tale (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), what it does not state is that Mark got his mystical awakening when he was in college, around age 20. It was a Kundalini experience, and the insight from that awakening allowed him to construct that device. Mark had his life wrecked in California, just like Dennis, Brian (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack), Mr. Professor, Sparky (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), and I did. California is a black place. So, a mystical awakening and accessing what has been called "intelligent infinity" enabled Mark to construct his gizmo, but it was not enough to wake him up to how the world really worked. He learned the hard way, as we all did. Brian told me that Mark's family also had a hand in wrecking his life when the hammer came down on him, and that is a familiar theme (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=300436&viewfull=1#post300436).
I accessed the ZPF myself in healing episodes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hands1), and that was all love, before I met Dennis. And that situation with that hooker (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hooker) I can tell was a final "test" that that voice in my head had for me, before it sent me to Dennis.
So, love, energy, integrity…they were all kind of joined at the hip, in my experience, and it was only about 15 years ago that I began to suspect that the ZPF was divine in nature, and that if the people accessing it did not have the highest integrity (love in their hearts), there were practical and probably mystical reasons why their effort would fail. Again, I certainly cannot "prove" that to anybody, but it was a realization that slowly dawned on me, after experiencing so many failed efforts, watching others fail, and trading notes with people like Brian and Mark.
My choir idea is actually aligned with that understanding, and for those who fear FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), if I can amass the choir that can hit those notes, and get enough momentum to manifest FE in the way that I envision, it will be proof that enough people can reach the level of integrity necessary to manifest FE, and will be well on the way to an enlightened implementation. If an idea like mine does not work, then it is evidence that humanity is not ready to make the next step, and might fall all the way down to the bottom of the ladder (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), instead.
How can there be an effort of higher integrity than developing history's most lucrative technology, to only then give it away (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)? Nobody in the history of the world has done anything like that. It will be an unprecedented act of integrity, and probably anything less does not have a prayer of success.
So, that is the short version. I really could go on for days on the events I lived through, how they impacted my awareness, and nudged me further down the path to my understanding today.
Best,
Wade

Dearest Wade,
I have let the fact that Dennis Lee was an evangelical just to go by the wayside since it is irrelevant to the big picture. It does not matter in regards to his personal integrity which he had plenty of! I suppose I would have followed him also if given the chance like you did to the moon and back...;)
Thinking upon the zero point field and its possible divinity one must admit that on planet earth the most wretched creatures have control over this technology and yet we still remain here!

I missed Ozzy's great work because we had large evangelical parties and burned his records..that evil rock and roll music...:o
Maybe looking at it in terms of good and evil are not productive?
I was reading somewhere in your work about people who pursue the dark path will not be accepted by source but do get rewarded for there efforts of a sort but are not allowed to be more than they are and so they rise to a certain point and then can go no further and their path in the end is pointless.
In the Christian scriptures Jesus said that the truth would set one free and to love ones enemies. Both very difficult things to do or understand.
Evangelical Christianity is about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in its most fundamental form. It is how "they" say a person can commune with God and through the spirit to be one with the savior who leads to the creator God. That is a primitive rendering of the gospel message of the street preacher!
Of course the lead in by said street preacher is the sure path to death through sin. "for the wages of sin is death"
And in those terms one has a choice of damnation and eternal suffering or paradise and so looking at how Dennis Lee sees it seems to be an accurate picture of what humanity is facing in a way...
And so I see why you followed him Wade...much more to him than what the world would say....
I have dear Christian family members that have a very sweet spirit based upon love through belief in these scriptures. And of course I would imagine that Dennis Lee was a quality person such as what I described.
When I read New Age stuff it is the same thing...do your inner work so you can ascend or to have power to live in love.
And so even uncle Noam has a so very sweet spirit and is loving even while dealing with terrible things in his work.
I have a dear friend that is down the wrong rabbit hole and is angry that I will not follow down that hole since I view it as unproductive.
She is obsessed with the study of the dark path in order to show folks all the evil that is in the world and when exposed enough and by enough folks humanity will "wake up" somehow ....
Of course this path is the way of failure and is a dead end IMO..:wizard:
I have chosen my path just as many choose the path of evangelicalism....destruction or salvation...heaven on earth or hell on earth....our choice I suppose...
I have made my choice Wade...
No one is home on planet earth and I can think of no one that I know to invite to this discussion both in real life or upon the internet...
Yet still I am hopeful that the young will read and come along...
the path is treacherous and dangerous and as Jesus said one must choose the straight and narrow path...
thanx

Hi Nine:
You probably read about that dark path "dead end," here (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#love). It is my interpretation, shaded by the Ra Material (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#ra), among other sources. I'll take the loving parts of any religion, and witnessing how much enlightenment Dennis and his wife attained with their literalist Christian approach was something else.
I recall somebody asking Silver Birch (http://www.spiritualwalking.com/html/silver_birch.html) about how Christianity had produced some great people, as a way to defend Christianity, and Silver Birch replied that those great ones would have been great no matter what religion they belonged to. Silver Birch did not state it like I have, in that Christians are also history's most murderous people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), but he also noted Christianity's shortcomings.
Religion is a response to warfare (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing), and not in an enlightened way, and all religions, like all ideologies, are conditioned by scarcity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) and fear, and elevate the in-group at the expense of the out-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). Jesus tried to help people see a bigger picture (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy), but it largely fell on deaf ears.
Just as slavery did not end until it became economically obsolete (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas), while we live in a world of scarcity, all scarcity-based ideologies will thrive, although religion's grip weakened with industrialization and the rise of science (which became a religion unto itself (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical1)). And as we run out of energy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), the social advances will be reversed, and we even see the revival of slavery-like ideologies. The human mind has always been economically conditioned (which is another reason for doubting that humans are really sentient (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience)), which is another reason why the social movement approach to FE will not work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). Realizing that there is nobody in your life that you can share "Wade's World" with is wise. Almost nobody on Earth can handle it, especially those who worship at the scarcity-based altars of our dominant ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant).
Yes, a common rabbit hole, once one begins to wake up, is to obsess on the "conspiratorial" side of life, live in outrage at all the evil deeds being committed by "the bad guys," and think that if you can get others to understand the depths of evil that exist, that we would all "wake up" and end Godzilla's reign. I have watched people disappear down that rabbit hole, and it could really wreck them, as they became intensely negative, paranoid, and I even watched them lose their minds.
It took about 15 years before my editor really understood why I have stated that making the dark stuff the focus of one's attention and strategy was doomed to failure. It is one thing to acknowledge the darkness, and maybe even see the divine role that it plays (that is one of the hardest tricks of all, IMO), and another entirely to see the "bad guys" as the root of our problems. As I repeatedly state, they are only a symptom, and seeing them as the cause of our problems is just one more way to think like a victim (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). If only 0.0001% of humanity woke up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) to the material in my work and learned to sing, heaven on Earth is around the corner, no matter what the "bad guys" did. As Brian O said, the power of combined positive intention (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) is the trick for success for this FE and world healing project.

Wade

.....That is a huge and important subject that I could write for days on.....
OK, that was day one's post on the subject..... :cool: I'd be more than happy for you to spend more time on it if you deem it appropriate.
The synchronistic aspect of the "hooker" story is without doubt indicative of the divine guidance behind the scenes, especially given the likely life-saving results of you rocking up when she was about to get mown down or worse. Naturally, the skeptics would put it down to coincidence.
One of my own personal experiences of love's effect on matter (here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?48678-Bible-Topics-and-Questions&p=561481&viewfull=1#post561481)) leaves me with no illusions as to it's reality and the huge untapped and largely unacknowledged potential which resides within it if and when we align ourselves unconditionally (fear always makes the conditions) with it.
I'm in total agreement about the Pauline doctrine (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#aquarian) essentially undermining our collective access to this "tech" by making it about him (Jesus) rather than it (love). That's in no way meant to demean his (Jesus's, not Paul's) achievements. If the references to Jesus are in any way accurate, they paint a blueprint which in many ways sets the universal standard on how to (co)exist.
Also from your essay with regards to love's role:
sources that I respect have stated that the means become the ends
I think I understand where where you were coming from but would appreciate it if you could elaborate on that too (also for more than one day if you feel suitably compelled ;))

11th December 2014, 14:44
Hi Akasha:
Your own journey is an inspiring one, and you can probably tell when you are being "messed with" by your unseen "friends." Well, thinking about my journey to write yesterday's post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=911090&viewfull=1#post911090) led me to another attempt to contact a long-lost friend, and I got the news this morning. After I had that "hot hands" experience with that dying girl (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hands1) (in late 1984), I became friends with her mother. It is a long story, but in the mayhem around her daughter's decline to her death, her mother failed to keep making her insurance premium payments, the insurance lapsed, and the hospital seized all of her money, which left her destitute, and I ended up helping her financially.
I began my wild ride with Dennis in early 1986, and she was one of those whom I gave stock in our company to, when I raised money in Boston to get us going again (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing) and became Dennis's partner. She actually attended the show two days before the raid (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and she was one of thousands who called the sheriff's office in protest after the raid, and Mr. Deputy even called her back, in a quasi-threatening manner.
She had a fractured vertebra from a car accident that gave her chronic pain, and I worked on healing that with my hands-on technique a few times, and in 1997, the last time that I saw her, she credited my efforts with healing it. I last saw her when I picked up my wife where she had been living in the Bay Area, when I lived in New Jersey while I was last with Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), as I moved her to Seattle.
We kept in touch, but around 2002, as I entered the dark phase of my midlife crisis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), her phone no longer worked, and I began withdrawing from the world as I resumed my career in 2003 (and the NEM fiasco (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem) really drove me into my shell). I sporadically tried to look her up, but really did not make another good attempt until last year, just before I took that Bucket List 9,000-mile road trip (when I saw both Dennises (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872), among my 20+ stops), when I mailed a letter to her home when I saw her last, and hoped that I could see her on the trip. The letter was returned as undeliverable while I was on the trip.
So, last night, I finally tracked down her sister whom she lived with when I last saw her (the Internet makes that so much easier than it once was), and this morning her sister gave me the news: she died in 2003. So, it has been a teary morning, and this post will be my tribute post to my friend. Her name was Lori, and attached is a picture of us, in one of my innumerable long-armed selfies, taken in the summer of 1990, just as I was staggering out of my home town (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), never to return. I'll continue to miss her.
Yes, I'll reply to your post today, after I get some more editing done.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Dammit, I am getting a little sidetracked with the waltz down memory lane, and decided to dig up a photo, attached. It is a picture of that hooker that I rescued (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hooker). My historian's nature was evident early on, I suppose, and I have a packing box (the small one used for books) that is a memory box of my lifetime, and has documents and items that go back to my childhood. I have not added to it much in recent years (clippings of hair and toys from our cats that died in the past several years has been about it). I dug that picture of her out of that box just now.
That hooker's name was Deena, and like my friend whose death I found out about this morning (it was not a surprise, but the tears still came), I would be surprised to learn that she was still alive (I just looked her up quickly on the Internet, and there is some record of her, but there also was some record of my friend who died in 2003), as her path did not look promising.
That Polaroid of her with her son, who was being raised in an orphanage, was probably the only picture that she had of him, and was her gift to me, and I know that it came from somewhere in her heart. Giving me that picture was a fleeting moment of grace in her grim life, and I still have it, nearly 30 years later, and somebody will find it in that box after I am gone.
I have not actually looked through that box, strolling down memory lane, for many years, and right now, as I look at that box sitting next to my desk, it is tempting to peek into it, but back into the attic it goes. I have work to do! :)
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As I think about it, I was helping Lori financially at the same time that I was "helping" Deena, literally within a couple of months of meeting Dennis. For those who may be wondering, yes, I could have turned both relationships into something sexual, and Deena even kind of offered to "work off" the money I was giving her. I was living like a monk in those days, and pretty much lived like a monk until I met my wife, in another one of those larger-than-life situations (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=608413&viewfull=1#post608413) (I met Brian kind of similarly, and may tell that story one day). If I had taken advantage of the situations like that, I wonder if the voice would have sent me to Dennis, as I would have failed the tests. I had many "temptations" placed in front of me like that before I met Dennis. Some of my earliest tests I failed (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=578139&viewfull=1#post578139), and I paid for those failures. Eventually, I learned, and those early failures actually were instrumental in helping me walk the straight-and-narrow with Dennis.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I finished editing that monster chapter on the Domestication Revolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3). None of that essay's chapters are light reading, but that one covers a lot of territory. I am going to do this for the rest of the essay, and here is a choir Q&A that I thought of while editing, of the dozens and dozens of topics that come up in that chapter.
Q: Wade, your idea of civilizations running out of energy and collapsing is new to me. How valid to you think it is, and how did you come up with it?
A: Great question, and I'll try to make this short, if I can. The idea is not entirely original with me, although I have never seen anybody else really couch it in those terms. It is kind of interesting in one way, in that it can be too obvious for the specialists in the field. In Energy and the Wealth of Nations (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1441993975/?tag=mh0b-20&hvadid=4963501884&ref=pd_sl_8ultl3byit_e), the authors noted that if you told biologists that the game of life is an energy game above all else, they would think for a minute and agree with you, but they just do not think of it that way in their daily work, as they play at a greater level of detail than that. It is not that they get lost on the weeds, but that kind of generalist, overarching framework is not something that they habitually think of, as they are more interested in asking and pursuing specific questions.
I found the debate over collapsed civilizations to be similar. Going back to Gibbon, there has been a great deal of scholarly debate on the fall of Rome, for instance, but it was generally by historians, and historians do not think like scientists. A historian is more interested in what happened than really why, although the why could be considered their goal, so that the lessons of history are learned. However, without a scientific approach, and particularly that generalist approach that those biologists rarely take, historians and other academics really do not understand important underlying dynamics, which usually fall into the province of scientists. If you read Michael Grant's book on the fall of Rome, Grant examines the many "disunities" of various groups vying for power and their share of the pie, but nowhere is the shrinking pie mentioned. It really was not until scientists began tackling the issue that the basis for Rome's economic decline, which is what led to its demise, began to be discerned. In a way, it was similar to the scientific parlor game that was played regarding the demise of the dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dinosaurextinction2). It was not until serious scientific investigation was applied to the issue of vanished civilizations that the energetic basis of their collapse became clear, and even then, like those biologists, the bickering amongst the specialists kind of overlooked the fact that they were all talking about energy and how those civilizations ran out of it.
I have to credit Peak Oilers with first directing me toward the science of collapsed civilizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#collapse1) when I read of Tainter's work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#tainter) in Heinberg's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm) The Party's Over. Tainter reviewed the numerous reasons presented over the millennia for civilization collapses, and his view was that diminishing returns on "investment in complexity" is what did in civilizations. What that means in English is that civilizations were in a sense the result of human problem solving; if the benefits of cities did not outweigh the disadvantages, they would never have been built. And civilization comes with many problems, and the people have to deal with them to make a civilization work. Each problem needs resources to resolve, and that meant human effort. What the declining returns meant was that after the "low hanging fruit" of a problem had been addressed, incremental improvements were increasingly costly, and eventually the problems became too great to resolve, which led to the civilization's demise. The moment of collapse was when urban professionals left the city to find food.
Tainter briefly touched on it in his work, and others took it much further, in that the "investment" was an investment of energy above all else. As I have stated, energy-driven machines perform 99.9% of all work done in industrial societies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave). In preindustrial civilizations muscle energy was the prime mover, and in pre-Columbian societies of the Western Hemisphere, there were no draft animals other than the llama, so it was all human muscle power. So, food for humans and draft animals was the critical energy supply. The so-called "tyranny of distance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tyranny1)" limited the size of the hinterland, and hence, a city's size. Rome was able to turn the entire Mediterranean Sea into a low-energy transportation lane (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tenochtitlan1), which was how it was able to grow so large.
Subsequent work by people such as Charles A.S. Hall (a co-author of Energy and the Wealth of Nations) and Thomas Homer-Dixon got more deeply into the energy issue, and the concept of return on energy investment, or EROI (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroi), emerged as a key concept to explain the rise and fall of civilizations. Again, as scientists tackled these issues, a lot became evident that historians, for instance, really had a hard time seeing. And when scientists donned their generalist lenses, then seemingly disparate phenomenon could be seen as simply different manifestations of the same underlying causes, and my generalist nature might have even made an original contribution to the issue, as energy is the key for the health of complex organisms (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mitochondria), complex ecosystems (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cascade), and civilizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroidecline). Complexity for organisms, ecosystems, or civilizations means many moving parts and like a machine, it takes energy to run those moving parts. When complex organizations like that get pinched somewhere in the energy chains, the entire structure grinds to a halt.
So, civilizations collapsed for the same reason why complex organisms and ecosystems died and had mass extinctions: they ran out of energy. Running out of energy and leading to collapse is common to all three (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#running). Early civilizations collapsed when they ran out of food to power the muscles of those who did the work. As machines do virtually all the work in industrialized civilization, when those machines run out of energy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), industrialized civilization will collapse.
What has been a little frustrating, as Tainter assailed Jared Diamond's environmental explanation for societal collapse, it both men's explanations were still all about energy. Diamond's work was about how when the environment could no longer supply the civilization with food, it collapsed, and Tainter said that the collapse of industrial civilization will only be averted if a new energy source is discovered and exploited. So, they are arguing both sides of the same coin: the coin of energy.
The fact is that when civilizations razed the forests and grew crops on the denuded soils (an almost universal practice), and usually turned the forests into fuel for the civilization, they halted the production of ecosystem wealth (stored energy), diverted the sunlight into growing food for humans, and the practice always led to declining yields as the soils were depleted. The remedies were spending energy to try to revitalize the soils, which would reduce the net yield because energy was being invested in managing the soils. Eventually, for Rome, it became "cheaper" to just conquer increasingly distant peoples, enslave them, and turn their lands into farms to feed Rome (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#freefood), using low-energy transportation lanes to bring the plunder.
Again, there were places on Earth with more or less "sustainable" practices, especially in Stone Age cultures, but they would have lower energy surpluses than Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations. Ultimately, it was all about surplus energy, whether it is an organism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nicheenergy), ecosystem, or civilization (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus), and preindustrial civilizations always had thin surpluses that could only support small professional and elite classes, with the vast majority being farmers.
So, that idea of energy and collapsing civilizations is by no means new with my work, and Peak Oilers have long been banging the drums of doom (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#abundance) for the coming collapse. My work is unique in a few ways. I am the only person I have seen that unites those dynamics at the organism, ecosystem, and civilization level, and I advocate a new energy source that has been tapped for longer than I have been alive (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but dysfunctional elites have kept the lid on it for reasons of power (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make). Combining those ideas is the kind of work that I have been doing since I was a teenager. I was a generalist-in-training and did not know it. It was not until I was introduced to Fuller's work in 2003 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) that I understood what I was.

Hi:
OK, on to Akasha's questions/observations. I'll start with one that he made on a new thread devoted to my essay (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?77746-Wade-Frazier-Energy-and-the-Human-Journey-Where-We-Have-Been-Where-We-Can-Go&p=911340&viewfull=1#post911340). We have dealt with Keshe's "Messiah" claims here already (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=825669&viewfull=1#post825669), so I will not belabor them, but that should be a huge red flag.
Akasha is also right that the technology has been around for a long time (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), longer than I have been alive. Technology is not really the problem. A huge and potentially fatal delusion amongst FE inventors and their supporters is that governments and corporations would love new energy technologies. I am afraid that nothing could be further from the truth, and those around me learned that one the hard way. Sparky Sweet mailed working prototypes of his FE device to all the big energy institutions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#sweet), thinking that he would get a tickertape parade, and the opposite happened.
Dennis believed what he read in the newspapers, when the electric companies ran full-page ads on the virtues of conservation. Like Sparky, Dennis thought that he would get the tickertape parade for bringing his energy conservation equipment to market (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#naive), and the opposite happened. Dennis never gave up, however, and was even invited by the White House (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&highlight=wirec#post694872) to make an eve-of-the-election demonstration of his high-MPG carburetor. He instead got run out of the country. I spoke at Department of Energy hearings for solving the nuclear waste problem, and the man who ran the hearings nicely told us that if our solution did not make a boatload of money for the interests currently "managing" nuclear waste, that our effort would go nowhere (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull).
So, while that "Mr. Messiah goes to Washington" idea has some charm, it is hopelessly naïve. The world does not work that way.
On how reality really works, Akasha asked me to expand on the idea of the means becoming the ends (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=911195&viewfull=1#post911195). But first, I'll respond to his other comments in that post. Yes, Paul did not really understand Jesus's message, but needed something to market. I'll definitely agree on the power of love.
So, I first read about the means becoming the ends in Seth's work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist). I guess that the easiest example is one that Seth gave: there will never be a war to end all wars; only peace will end wars.
What it means in a very practical sense is that when people take actions that violate another's free will in a way that harms them (Michael (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) says that that is how we incur negative karma while we are here in physical reality), as some regrettable but necessary way to reach some ideal, it actually undermines the ideal so that it cannot be achieved. Again, peace through warfare; when has that ever really worked? World War III may not be that far off (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII), if it has not begun already. The West is almost entirely responsible for the mayhem in and around Hydrocarbon Country. The USA's motivation was evil (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), and never really intended to somehow transplant democracy there, but look at how peaceful it is in Iraq today, more than a decade after we invaded. Just today, I was reading about the massive air strikes that the USA is once again inflicting on Iraq (http://www.iraqinews.com/iraq-war/coalition-warplanes-kill-dozens-isis-militants-mosul/). It is nearly a daily event anymore. Violence begets violence. Peace begets peace.
Seth basically said that acts toward a goal have to be consistent with the goal in order to work. I saw that repeatedly during my days with Dennis. Every time that his company was stolen, the operation crumbled on the thieves. And part of why I am not with Dennis anymore is that he appealed to those scarcity-based ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) to get people involved, but they are all based on lies. Dennis even called them "Godly deceptions." I was never interested in luring, deceiving, or any of those kinds of activities to get anything going. I have always done my best to make it about truth, about love, about the goal, and getting there with our integrity intact. Because if we sacrifice our integrity to be expedient, we are going to fail. This may also be a Day One response that I might go into more later, but I have done my utmost to not sacrifice the integrity of the work to become "popular," and so on. It never really worked, that I saw. People attracted to expedient stuff that catered to their egos were there to meet their ego needs, which in a world off scarcity meant personal gain, usually economic. That is a big reason for my approach of giving it away (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The egocentric and greedy are likely not going to be too interested in my work. There are strategic reasons for that, and one is that an approach like that will not attract the easy prey for the psychopaths, and there will not be much "leverage" that the psychopaths, both the free-lancers and those on the payroll, will be able to use. It will not be an easy nut to crack for them.
My plan is really pretty simple.
Raise awareness in enough people so that they understand how the world really works and can comprehend what abundance really means;
Mount a technical effort with those who do the work of raising their awareness that I have laid out, to make a production-ready FE device;
Give that device away to the world.
That is my recipe for manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
We will see how it goes.
Best,
Wade

Hi Nine:
For several years, I supported a family member who was an aspiring saxophonist and, of course, the sax is for jazz, especially in the USA. He lived with us for about a year in total, and every day, I heard the sax and got to hear a lot about the history of jazz and blues music. I am a going-deaf music fan. I listen to Christmas music year-round (as I am as I write this), and the minor notes in songs are those I usually like best. I also lived with a close relative was a famous jazz musician who played in the Big Band era, and played with Duke Ellington, Della Reese, and many others, and eventually had his own show in Vegas. I got to like Big Band music after hearing it every day for months. That is another long story that I won’t get into today.
As I have stated plenty, I was raised racist (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=908822&viewfull=1#post908822), in history's most racist nation, and racism is far from defeated here. I woke up only a few minutes ago, and already I was reading about a protest in Oakland over the racial violence in Missouri that turned ugly, as it has often done in Oakland (I have relatives that lived in Oakland, and some live in Alameda today). And it seems like almost daily, another woman comes forward who claims that Bill Cosby drugged her (race is a big part of that story, and it is heartbreaking; I have little doubt that Cosby did it, and he was the first black entertainer that I remember watching/listening to).
I wonder sometimes if my studies of the awesome crimes that Europe inflicted on the world (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2) have something to do with my racist upbringing. I am sure that my American Empire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) essay is partly inspired by my nationalistic upbringing. Perhaps a little paradoxically, my studies could largely be called a study of humanity, and I have spent a great deal of time thinking about the lives of those getting the short end of the stick (you know, 99% of humanity :) ), and being sent to work in Skid Row for several months (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) I am sure was part of the "training" that my friends wanted me to go through.
So, the black experience in the USA is one that I am pretty aware of, at least as much as a white person can be, which includes their music. Yes, white people play the blues and jazz, but it comes from the black experience. As the Beatles knew well, rock and roll came from the black experience. Of course, I call for an end of race (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations) in my work.

Wade

Hi:
I want to briefly revisit the current oil issue. They are not making any more oil (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oilformation), and we will run out of it in this century (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil).
That guy whose work I recently cited writes more about it. Ultimately, today's collapse in oil prices will lead to an even bigger upward spike (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/oil-headfake12-14.html) one day before long. The whip-sawing of oil prices will wreak havoc through the world economy, and the dominoes have only begun to fall (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/oil-dominoes12-14.html). The big shale oil play in the USA in this whipsaw is going to create some huge financial dislocations, as it has turned into one more bubble in the USA's boom/bust economy.
In the macro picture, cheap energy is always good for economic production, but the huge levering up of capital to go after marginal sources like shale oil, courtesy of all the money that the Federal Reserve has been printing, is going to turn out very badly.
I don't need to tell anybody how insane all of it is, knowing what I do (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground).
Stay nimble,
Wade

Hi:
Here is Day Two of the means becoming the ends, and why I am taking my approach. I have written about the events in great detail on my site and on this thread, and will not belabor it here, but in its essence, what I discovered on my journey was that:
People are social animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason), and social animals are social because it enhances an individual's chance of survival. This is easily seen in monkeys and apes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#grooming), which display only more sophisticated versions of social behaviors that have hundreds of millions of years of history.
Humans took it to another level with their large brains and advanced cognitive abilities (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain), and as humans began to develop ideologies, probably only after they mastered language (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#language1), and the first were probably religions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing), with their attendant creation myths and other magical views, they were all in-group based.
All ideologies primarily created in-group cohesion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), and always at the expense of the out-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). In a world of scarcity and fear, such ideologies worked, as people abdicated their sentience and integrity for the promise of security, and all such ideologies were egocentric, so people rarely saw beyond their in-group, which is really no different than macaques (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1), and brings up the question of whether that is really sentient behavior (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience).
Spiritual masters came along now and then and tried to help raise human sentience, and their primary message was along the lines of there not really being an out-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy). But professional priesthoods (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1), which appeared with the first civilizations, still were able to corrupt those messages and turn them into in-group ideologies, and as all professions have prostituted themselves, the priesthoods all entered into a Faustian deal and attributed divine nature and/or sanction to the elite (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#indoctrination1), who were anything but divine.
Even when the rise of science and rational thought began, they were still used to create in-group ideologies at the expense of the out-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle). Perhaps the only virtue of those new in-group ideologies was that they usually expanded human ideas of an in-group. I maintain that until people see all life on Earth as their in-group, humanity won't quite be a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric). Scarcity and fear, which keeps people locked into their egocentric delusions, is the biggest barrier that I see to humanity's achieving full sentience. Scientists can tell that fear literally shuts down the human neocortex (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#liferequirements), which is where our sentience is seated.
I luckily escaped heavy religious indoctrination, but was indoctrinated by nationalism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms), capitalism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing), and even racism (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=908822&viewfull=1#post908822), which is indeed a primitive ideology. I also was trained to be a scientist, but had experiences that showed me (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) how false the ideologies are that form the foundation of the rationalist-materialist paradigm (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle). Although I soon began questioning my capitalist indoctrination (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing), it was not until my wild ride with Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) that I became radicalized, and realized that all ideologies were likely false and used for the same purpose of creating in-group ideologies (primarily designed to serve the interests of those concocting the ideologies) at the expense of the "expendable" out-group.
After I staggered out of my home town (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), radicalized, I began to study what I was taught while growing up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm), and learned that almost all of it was lies. I then encountered some great people of conscience, and their prodigious works were largely devoted to exposing the falseness of the dominant in-group ideologies, and their great conscience was evident in my interactions with them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm). Some woke up the hard way (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), like I did, and we often recognized each other as kindred souls, and we all realized how rare we were, and how lonely our journeys were (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#lonely).
I had very much larger-than-life experiences that led me to my closest allies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and what great humans they were. However, to one degree or another, they were still not quite unhooked from their conditioning. I am the only American FE activist that I know of who got all the red, white, and blue Kool-Aid out of his/her mouth, and I also got the capitalist Kool-Aid out of my mouth, and was fortunate that I really did not ever drink much of the religious Kool-Aid. Dennis never left his religious indoctrination behind, Brian had a self-admittedly codependent relationship with his nation's capital (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early), and Mr. Professor probably never quite gave up his capitalist orientation.
I was "lucky" in that I was able to leave behind my indoctrination into the dominant ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), both the primitive and the sophisticated. I still live on Earth, and have to navigate my life through hordes of people endlessly kneeling to those various altars, and it has not been easy.
What I noticed, as I helped Dennis and Brian mount mass movement efforts to make FE happen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), which would make all of those ideologies obsolete, was that in one way or another, we were catering to those ideologies, and hence, people's self-interest. Self-interested people are easily defeated on the FE playing field. After surviving disaster after disaster as our efforts were wiped out or imploded, I slowly came to realize that an effort that catered to any of those in-group ideologies was doomed. I realized that the only path with a prayer had to be aligned with the goal: of helping humanity become a truly sentient species. The lessons of the masters were not lost on me, and I realized that only a path of love and enlightenment had a prayer. I am not saying that I reached those states, but I know that striving for them is the only path with a prayer, and those realizations have informed my "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)" idea.
Mr. Professor and Brian are gone, and Mr. Professor died before I really had achieved the perspective that guides my efforts today, but I shared my approach with Brian, and just before he died, he was planning to promote my approach, and when I mentioned it to Dennis last year, he also saw that I was advocating something new and unusual. It certainly is, and I do not know if it will work or not, but I had to try it. Impatience is my Achilles' heel (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), and my path has been teaching me patience, even as people all around me become desperate, and even the dimmest among us sees a grim road ahead (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), although for the masses, it rarely strays past their immediate self-interest and how they can survive what is coming.
So, that is a Day Two outline of my lessons on how the means become the ends, and if I want to help humanity achieve a world in which love, enlightenment, and abundance reigns, my effort has to be aligned with those ideals as much as possible, and that is largely how I came to my approach, and I have married it to recent ideas such as open-sourcing (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#utopia), which are aligned with that vision.
The bottom line is that I know that I am looking for needles in haystacks (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800), but this new tool called the Internet will help me find them, and them find me. We will see how it goes.
Best,

Wade,
You talked about some of the women in your life and how you could have taken advantage of them sexually and you did not do that wade....
Some folks say that there is much power with sex and others say that one should forgo such pleasures in this life.
Some say that sexual energy builds a sort of energy grid over planet earth of course my BS meter is on high alert with such things....
Some say that this energy grid is controlled by dark forces and of course we see darkness all around us and unspeakable evil...
I have a daughter that I dearly love and if she were on the down and out I would prey that she met some one like you...
And even the evil Illuminati princess lady Ga Ga is someones daughter...
Conspiracy folk say that about her all the time...
And so I arrived home tonight and flipped on the tube and on PBS was a great performance series with lady Ga Ga and Tony Bennit with a forty piece big band playing the blues and the American song book...
Lady Ga Ga was just brilliant in her performance of traditional American Jazz standards no mater how you view her popular music...
I simply was wowed and blown away...and that band blowing the blues was simply increadable Wade....a must watch...
I think that Tony Bennit might just have rescued this women from the dark force through art. American art. Which is the blues...
Of course time will tell.
You have stated that you have given up on America and its ideal.
That might be a valid perspective upon American society but I have not thrown in the cultural towel yet wade...
And the ideal and the reality are two different things.
Are ideals bad Wade? And when ideals and reality come upon each other I suppose that is the test...
Jazz music is not about Washington politics but above such things and maybe about humanity...
do I know for sure?
Of course not...just asking a question...

dearest Wade...
I am not looking for a savior.
That would say that one is not responsible for his or her part in what is really going on...
I promise that I will finish your essay on the human journey and to comment upon it.
I am in the European epoch upon your journey and that is a subject that I have been educated upon...
Some would say that you are very arrogant and others would say that you are very enlightened....
I am leaning to the sources that say that you are very enlightened...
However,
as I see things there is a global group of folks that are controlling tech and restricting such...
The way I see things is to shout out about how to change this dynamic...
No answers from the likes of me...
Much love to you wade..
Thanx

Hi:
With the collapse in oil prices, there is going to be a great deal of financial havoc, especially in oil-exporting nations and those who have levered up on cheap money to go after marginal sources of oil, and that means the USA, as I have been writing (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=911574&viewfull=1#post911574).
I wrote about the last bubble before it popped (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#enron), and was in high tech in 1999 and I predicted that that bubble would pop into a bloody mess. I have been talking about the shale oil "boom" for a few years now, and predicted that the boom would end in a collapse, and that is now beginning. As with those previous bubbles, even I underestimated the carnage that it would inflict, and I may have done so again. I was not predicting that the end of the shale oil boom would take down the financial economy again, but it is beginning to look like it is the domino that will.
Madly printing money and giving it away (mostly to their friends and patrons on Wall Street) is a sure-fire prescription for these disasters. I cannot believe that the architects of these serial catastrophes are really that stupid, to keep blowing one bubble after another. In the USA, the federal government passed a spending bill this week, and tucked into it was a provision for the taxpayers to basically guarantee Wall Street's gambling (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-12/presenting-303-trillion-derivatives-us-taxpayers-are-now-hook) in this easy money environment. The identical thing happened with the Savings and Loan Scandal of the 1980s (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#savings). Oh, is the game ever rigged, but it is just shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. But the architects know what they are doing, and their afterlives (if they are not lynched before it is all over) will be similar to Max's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell). We all go to where we are attracted, and how we spend our life's energies will determine where that is, as it sets the pattern of our thoughts and behaviors that we take with us.
Hi Nine:
Sex is certainly one way to rack up a bunch of karma. The Michael Material (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) states that sex is how humans access their essence (AKA "soul"). All ensouled species have a biological mechanism that allows them to access their essence. Michael stated that one species that he knew of did it through a vocalization (orgasmic singing, if you will). So, sex not only has deep "spiritual" ramifications, but great practical ones. I write a great deal about gender in my work, and have repeatedly stated that women will have to step up to make FE happen. It cannot be a bunch of men trying to be heroes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1) and getting rich and famous. That dynamic is why we have FE aspirants announcing that they are the Messiah or Second Coming, trying to become the Bill Gates of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level11), etc. And one such messianic aspirant is trying to make waves today, gathering his "flock" to him. Heck, one reason why I am not with Dennis is because of his subscription to a messianic religion. I have witnessed the downside of that mentality, and am doing my best to create a "No-Hero Zone" with my effort. I am looking for singers, not soldiers and heroes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir1). During my journey, people have treated me like a hero, and when they do, I know that they will eventually attack me, as the hero/villain trip is theirs, not mine. When people seek heroes to worship or villains to attack, it is one more way to play the victim game (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). I recently mentioned how Brian was surrounded by groupies (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=906669&viewfull=1#post906669) at the NEM conference.
The standard New Age dynamic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) is a man with a mystical haircut and other guru trappings who writes books, does the talk circuit, and builds his harems (a woman in every town is one way that they do it). He might even have some genuine mystical talent, but he uses it to get paid and laid. It was a model in LA's New Age scene (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#mystical), but is a very old pattern, and the women are as responsible for that sorry state of affairs as the men are. That tired dynamic is another low-integrity situation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) that cannot be part of any successful FE effort, for instance.
As I have stated, while the site that I completed in 2002 was largely about helping readers see through the scarcity-based ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) that trap people's consciousness, my big essay was approached as a scientist. Arguably the world's foremost scientist on the subjects covered in the first half of my essay (and the way that I covered them, as a "popularizer") said that it was one of the best efforts that he ever saw (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo). I approached the last half of my essay like I did the first, but I am not sure that I could find a historian that could weigh in on my "historical" work (because it takes the scientist's approach more than the historian's), although Howard Zinn, arguably the USA's most important historian, praised my Columbus essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn2). Brian O was probably my work's biggest fan, and was planning on promoting my "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)" approach before he died. So, I have heard from the best, and I have almost always received nothing but praise. My best critics have always been my allies, as they tried to make my work better, and I have always eagerly awaited constructive criticism.
My work has also been assailed numerous times, but not one of those assailants ever made honest, rational, and informed arguments (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#introduction), but were playing egocentric games of defending their in-group ideology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), and some were on the payroll (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll). We always have to be wary of our egos trying to take over, but mine went through the meat grinder many times during my journey, and when soldiers like me get old, we realize that we do not have many good years left, and we just want to make a dent in the best way we know how. But there is no end of FE newbies trying to play the hero, build their harems, and play other unproductive games. Keshe is my age, playing his "I am the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah)" games today, and he is just one of the many casualties of the FE playing field (he has not even really stepped on the playing field yet), and the groupies and hero-worshippers are flocking to him today, as usual. So, that should be a cautionary tale for anybody in this field, but he is just the latest to go off the deep end like that.
For better or worse, there is nothing else like my big essay on Earth, and my choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) effort is unique. It beats me if it is going to work, but I had to try. It is not intended for the masses, as they have too many delusions to shed before they can begin to understand. Their eyes will only begin to open when an FE device is delivered into their lives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli). But it has been that way for every Epochal Event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), and there is no point in judging their blindness and allegiance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) to the in-group ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1) that feed them. Humanity is currently a semi-sentient species, with its awareness bounded by scarcity and fear. But some can wake up before FE is delivered into their lives, and those are whom I seek (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800).
On American culture, its "enlightened" nature is only due to its relative economic abundance, as always (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages). As we have been in economic decline, a lot of ugliness has surfaced (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc), and it will continue as we run out of energy. Bush was our Caligula (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=900087&viewfull=1#post900087), and that the 2016 "election" looks like it will be between Hillary and Jeb (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904153&viewfull=1#post904153) is mind-boggling and shows how like Rome the USA really is, and we are headed toward that same fate, and fast. Nobody on Earth should look to the USA as leading the way away from the abyss, but it is leading the rush toward it.

Wade

I think that nails it. Many thanks.
Also, I've just been listening to your interview with Carol Brouillet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radio1.mp3) again. inspiring stuff and as with all your interviews, always worth a revisit.
In that interview I was struck by the seemingly paradoxical notion that we waste stuff because we don't have enough energy, and yet it makes perfect sense once more than a cursory thought is given to it.
The drive to recycle stuff even with our current limited resources is, to me, an indicator that with FE we would make things better, not worse.

Hi Akasha:
Damn, you made me listen to that interview (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radio.htm)! :)
I had not listened to it since around 2009. It was my first public interview, nearly seven years ago. I have some comments to make about it, so here goes.
For one thing, not bad, not bad at all. I was mildly surprised at how much that interview is like my work today. I suppose that about the only thing that has changed much since then is my Epochal Event perspective (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) (and my "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)" strategy, but you can see me leaning toward it in that interview), which I really did not begin to develop like you see it today until about 2009. By 2010, that perspective was pretty clear in my work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#revolutions). But it even became more paradigmatic as I studied for my big essay in the past few years and wrote it.
I clearly recall withdrawing for about a month from public interaction before the interview, to mentally prepare for it. It was during that month of withdrawal that a forum with a section devoted to my work erased that entire section. ATS banned me at about the same time, as trolls swarmed me (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll1). It was then that I decided that if I ever interacted directly with the public again, that it had to be my own forum, and this thread can come close. My midlife crisis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife) only ended a little more than year before that interview, and my day job at that moment had been nearly five years of uninterrupted mayhem. I was pretty burned out in early 2008, kind of at the end of my rope.
Brian began to come back into my life in 2007, after the NEM fiasco (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), and his pal Keith Lampe (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=900440&viewfull=1#post900440) set up that interview with Carol. When I published this essay in August 2008 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm), it brought Brian fully back into my life, and the next year, I did my Camelot interview (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm), which I think might still be my favorite, especially since Brian participated. Kudos to Bill and Kerry for doing it.
My subsequent interviews with (mostly) Scott (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews) were pretty fun to do. Scott and Bill have a lot of savoir faire. I actually skipped the interaction with the second caller on Carol's show this morning as I listened, as it was an unpleasant memory for me, as he came on to challenge me and grind his ax. That is an example of why I am kind of leery of interviews, especially a live one like that. Kind of bizarrely, Minto's grandson later tried to contact me about that interview (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radio.htm#minto) and wanted to challenge the "falsehoods" that I stated about Minto. If he had actually listened to the interview, he would have realized that I did not say anything about Minto other than I had heard about him. The caller brought him up, not me. I did not even pronounce Minto's name accurately in the interview, as I had only briefly read about him several years earlier, among the many other FE aspirants that I was aware of. As I recall, I only read about Minto because he was referred to in that 2001 libel attack on Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), as the author tried to give credit to Minto and deny it to Dennis.
So, listening to that interview reminds me that I had once thought of doing some interviews in the wake of publishing my big essay. I am still kind of divided about that. Interviews can only scratch the surface, and finding venues where I can really talk about my work without callers like caller number two of Carol's interview, or being challenged by interviewers who have not done their homework, is no fun for me and makes the interviews something far less than they could be.
We will see how it goes.
Best,
Wade

…..
It sounded to me like Minto's grandson was simply describing a typical, seemingly innocuous, golden handcuffs scenario, whereby Nissan paid up, took control of the situation and shelved it either as a result of consultation with their marketing dept (as they claimed) or perhaps actually as a result of covert GC input into the situation. Moreover, whilst no doubt being a disruptive technology, it was clearly not on the same scale as ZPE and similar over-unity tech'.
Also his "cat-tails" concept, although having merit, relies on pollution in the form of phosphates etc' to feed the plants in question. Whilst not without ecological value in the current framework, it is a another band-aid on a scarcity symptom rather than abundant healing manifest.
That all said, I'd say you handled that part of the interview fine.

Oh, I handled it OK, but it was not fun. That was not Minto's grandson who called, but some guy who worked with Minto. Minto's grandson tried to look me up through Carol a year later, with his beef about how Minto was treated in the interview. His beef should have been with the caller, not me! :)

Hi:
OK, anecdote time. Because my memory is nearly photographic, and so many of my life's events were so much larger than life, I could spend years making anecdotal posts that would be relevant to my FE journey, what I learned, and how those events helped bring me to my perspective today, but there is only so much time in a life. This Avalon thread banter keeps bringing up memories from my journey, not all of them unpleasant by any means, although many are agonizing to revisit, but taking a public stance like I have means that I have to keep revisiting the events of my journey.
I have written plenty about my days in Boston with Dennis on this thread (1 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=606783&viewfull=1#post606783), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=438737&viewfull=1#post438737), 3 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=578559&viewfull=1#post578559), 4 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=414784&viewfull=1#post414784)), but left out some anecdotes relevant to recent writings and correspondence. I mentioned somewhere on this thread that when I saw Dennis last year, during our long talks I mentioned how pleasant our days in Boston were, and Dennis agreed. For all that we were going through, it was the calm before the storm in Ventura (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and the days up until the spring of 1987 capped the happiest year of my life, which began when I met Dennis in March 1986. You can see several pics from 1986 on my site (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm), which was the best hiking year of my life.
When I raised the money to save us and became Dennis's partner, I was still as innocent as a babe, but that would soon change. Before our first Greatest Energy Shows on Earth (what a name! :) ), Dennis and I worked a home show, which was one of those affairs in a huge convention center like airplane hangars. We had one of the hundreds of exhibits at that show. We had a promotional videotape playing from the Seattle operation and we handed out flyers for our upcoming shows. I put one of them on my site, here (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#flyer). We were at that home show for a few days, as I recall, maybe even for an entire week, and it was definitely one of my life's happiest experiences, as Dennis and I worked our booth and handed out thousands of flyers. You really have to see Dennis to believe him, and at that home show, I got to see Dennis the carny barker. It was an incredible performance to witness.
At the first show, held where the Boston Tea Party was planned (Dennis's playing the nationalism card, once again), only about 35 people attended. I towed the demo unit for the shows behind my Pinto on a trailer that I had to rent for each show. You can see an image from the show (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum), with Dennis in his white tuxedo in the pulpit. After the show, I helped clean up after the "crowd," in the seating, and I am attaching an image of what somebody had drawn during the show and left in the seats. I still get a chuckle every time I look at it. I shared it with Dennis sometime in the past 20 years, and he got a chuckle, too.
The bottom line was that Dennis's original FE idea, of marrying his heat pump with that low-temperature turbine, was a naïve idea that was not going to work. When Mr. Mentor eventually came forward (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) with his hydraulic heat engine to marry with the panels from Dennis's heat pump, there we might have had something. He eventually got a Fischer engine to work for 24 hours (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer), and people such as Eugene Mallove believed that such an arrangement could do FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mallove), even if the Second Law of Thermodynamics said that we couldn't. But our "threat" to Godzilla went far beyond any particular technology that we might have been developing, as I later learned.
We did a series of four shows, originally, and then a few more in the subsequent months. I did about ten shows with Dennis. Other than a small newspaper, the Boston media would not cover us. By our last shows in Boston, we had a few hundred per show. We pretty much came and went in Boston without much public awareness of our efforts.
However, even though the public was oblivious, that did not mean that everybody was. Right after we held a show near the front gates of the Seabrook Nuclear Facility (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#seabrook), Dennis mailed his proposal to buy the Seabrook facility and instead use it for energy storage fed by FE machines. Seabrook's Chairman of the Board called our hole-in-the-wall office with minutes of receiving the proposal and said that he could come to our office within an hour to discuss our proposal. Instead, Dennis and Mr. Engineer met with the Chairman and his advisors the next week at his palatial penthouse office. At that meeting, his advisors admitted that they attended our show at the facility's front gates. Dennis got the red carpet treatment, but it soon became clear that they were trying to placate him. We had some connections on the inside, and heard that all of New England's electric companies had secret meetings to decide what to do with us, and they decided that maybe they would have to work with us. It was all radically different than the treatment that Dennis got in Seattle (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle1). At one of our later shows, the head of the DOE for New England stood up in the Q&A at the show's end and was quite polite in asking us when we thought that we could deliver FE. Nevertheless, the local prosecutor was sharpening his ax (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#middlesex) and the Massachusetts Secretary of State went on a fishing expedition just before we moved, trying to ensnare us in securities violations.
I also met a billionaire who was interested in what we were doing, and according to Dennis when I saw him last year, that billionaire was still interested, but I never met or heard of a truly altruistic rich person (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy1). They are just opportunists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#oleary). Also, just after we mounted our first shows, we got the first entreaty that I can now confidently say came from Godzilla, when some non-descript "businessmen" came to our office and offered us $10 million (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten) for the rights to our bright idea. A year later, a CIA man representing Godzilla added a couple of zeroes to the offer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), before they lowered the boom on us.
There were many other events like those that showed that while the public was oblivious, people in high places weren't. It was then that I not only had to consider the real possibility that I would lose my life playing our game, but I also had those fleeting delusions of grandeur (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur) that I have written about. It comes with the territory of chasing the biggest event in the human journey, although even we were not thinking as epochally about FE as I eventually came to see the situation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), which made the interest from those high places a lot more understandable. I intimately understand the delusions behind an FE inventor announcing that he is the Second Coming or the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah). It is one of the many pitfalls that await the aspirant, and I never saw many who could navigate the perils and temptations for long.
Right around that time, I began to get attacked by my investors, led by a former girlfriend (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=619690&viewfull=1#post619690), of all people. I quickly lost my innocence, and was disabused of many delusions over the next couple of years.
There is a point coming, and I'll just state here that although it could seem like life was "normal" in those days somewhat for us, and those closest to us were oblivious, as was the general public, at the highest councils on Earth we became a problem that Godzilla had never quite faced before, and we became a puzzle to solve. Eventually, even the Rockefellers and Rothschilds (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller2) got involved, and because they approached us and used their names, I doubt that they play at Godzilla's level. There are several level of that food chain, and the sitting American president is nowhere near the top (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents).
I do not want to get too far into the details of events that I have written about at length, but we were wiped out in Ventura with extreme prejudice (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and Dennis eventually was set up be murdered on more than one occasion, and he really should not have survived. His journey has been filled with events in which he should not have survived, including several murder attempts. When they kangarooed Dennis into prison and tried to get him killed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), Dennis's inmates sure did not know anything about Dennis and what he was dealing with. He was just another "criminal" like them, and somebody whom they promised to murder for being a "snitch," and they let him off with only some fingers broken and teeth knocked out, to enforce their "credibility" in that prison shark tank that Dennis was tossed into.
That is all a prelude to the point I am about to make. I have put up the magnum opus essay of my lifetime on my site with little fanfare, and it can seem like my effort might be going nowhere. I assure you that some in Godzilla's employ have read it. I am on the radar, although I hope it is low for now (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic). Probably the world's leading authority weighed in on the material in the first half of my essay and announced that it was one of the best efforts that he ever saw (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo). But some of my closest friends and allies will not only never read it, they think that I am kind of crazy for even writing it. I have been challenged, particularly by the scientifically illiterate who have read some of it, who favor some fringe hypothesis over my account. But they do not even begin to have the discernment to validate any of it; my work just conflicts with their beliefs or something they read one day. Some fringe author caught their fancy, and they dismiss my work because I do not sing Velikovsky's song (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky), for instance. That essay's first half only lays the foundation for the last half, where the real meat in that essay is.
If you do the work and begin to comprehend my message, it will nearly be guaranteed that nobody else in your life will be interested or will be capable of understanding. They will usually be prevented from understanding by their predilections, usually because they cannot see past their in-group ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), as my work invalidates all of them, and nobody likes to see their oxen gored. In the end, it comes down to personal integrity, and almost nobody on Earth really has very much of that, which was my journey's primary lesson (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn).
There are very real dangers to digesting my work, and one of the most dangerous is that when the realizations of the implications of my work dawn on you, it can not only overwhelm you, but you think that those around you will also recognize its importance. With extremely few exceptions, you will not find anybody else in your life who feels that way or is interested. In fact, you will have strayed so far past conventional "thinking" that those around you will feel that you have lost your mind or they will see you as a subversive threat to civilization, and you will be subjected to some kind of modern equivalent of being burned at the stake.
I cannot overemphasize that peril, but newbies almost always scoff, as they know that those in their social circles will have the right stuff to grasp the validity and magnitude of my work. That can be an extremely perilous delusion to harbor. I have witnessed friendships, family relationships, and even careers end over my work, as people who began to grasp my work tried to tell others in their circles the "good news."
I kind of made my big essay so that people can just send a link to others, and then stand back and watch what happens. Unless you can hear them begin to try to sing the song, I would not engage them for long. If they react in fear, denial, and the other kinds of reactions that I have seen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false), you should immediately revert back to talking about the weather or whatever topics you previously had in common with them, and leave my work alone when interacting with them. And you may have a difficult time in refraining from judging them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). They may now think that you are crazy, but if you do not press it, they may just see you as a harmless nut. :) As I have stated many times, I am looking for needles in haystacks (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800), and I do not expect this to be a quick process. But for those who do the work and want to learn to sing the abundance song, I will be here. I have budgeted the rest of my lifetime's "spare" time for building that choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).
Time for chores.

Hi:
Another chapter tweaked, on the rise of Europe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal35). Nine would barely notice the difference between the current version and the one he just read. Here is a choir Q&A that I thought of while tweaking that chapter.
Q: Wade, so why Europe? Why did it rise and conquer humanity?
A: Well, let me surprise you: energy! :) When I wrote the preview of my upcoming essay in 2010, I described the Epochal Events this way (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#succinct):
"Each epoch of humanity’s past was initiated and sustained by achieving the social organization and technological prowess that enabled the exploitation of previously unexploitable energy resources."
Four years and one monster essay later, I doubt that I can improve on that, and the rise of Europe, even though I called it Epochal Event 3.5, was a watershed series of energy events. Basically, Europe took Greek technology much further in harnessing wind and water power (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill1). Watermills became the dominant energy technology on land, but the greatest feat that Europe achieved was harnessing the winds that blew across the world's oceans, particularly the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Europe turned the global ocean into a low-energy transportation lane (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2), and more than any other achievement, that allowed them to conquer the world. No other culture in world history was as seafaring as those Europeans were as they conquered the world.
The closest thing to it was ships plying the Indian Ocean and sailing along East Asia, as Chinese and Japanese fisherman and merchants did. The Polynesian Expansion was performed with canoes, and the Indian Ocean was easy and predictable sailing compared to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Where I live in the Pacific Northwest, for three millennia, sailing ships disabled in storms in the Western Pacific washed ashore on the coastline, and the hapless survivors were enslaved by native tribes. It must have seemed miraculous to those natives that the ocean continually served up a supply of slaves. When Europeans eventually came calling in the Pacific Northwest (brutally, of course), they found that many "Indians" looked just like Japanese fishermen. :)
Nobody else on Earth could match Europe's skill at sailing the world's oceans, but that was not the only reason for their advantage. While late 20th-century anthropology finally laid to rest the "peaceful savage" myth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbes), Europe took warfare and violence to new levels as they incessantly fought each other for millennia, and they used technological advances to improve their weaponry. The Reconquest (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toledo) and Crusades (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#crusade) in particular were crucibles for Middle Ages Europeans to hone their violent arts, and the Reformation led to a series of wars which culminated in the devastating 30 Years' War (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#printing), in which the concept of "total war" took root. The ruthless, win-at-all costs style of European warfare really took the rest of the world by surprise, and when Spaniards with their steel, horses, man-eating dogs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#dogs), cannons, and sailing ships encountered the Stone Age peoples of the Western Hemisphere, the natives never stood a chance, and the diseases that Europeans brought with them devastated all peoples that they encountered outside of Eurasia and Africa. The peoples of Asia and Africa did not succumb to European diseases, but Europeans enslaved them, India most infamously (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), although the Transatlantic African slave trade (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slavery1) is one of world history's blackest chapters.
What Europeans brought with them allowed them to conquer the world, but it was their mastery of ocean travel that allowed them to do it.

Wade

Wade,
Hero's are for fools. I am under no illusions such as those.
I have a Christmas song for you since you love Christmas music...I am an old burned soldier of the system.
Lady gaga and tony Bennett performing at the Rockefeller center last week.
Put it on and close your eyes and don't think of Lady gaga's pop crap and tripe. Just listen to her sing. Tony is 88 years old and rocking!
This is first class Jazz. First class.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODid2noMnaA
I view your work and since you use a musical expression called the choir as a meme I would say its more complicated in musical terms.
We have bands and orchestras that have choirs added to them.
And looking at Jazz we have small quartets like in the video posted or a large ensemble with written parts for the ensemble and even a conductor.
In the big band the most important position is the lead trumpet player. A very serious job and very difficult since the lead player is the one who soars above the ensemble with his/her high notes.
And his/her interpretation of the chart and the phrasing used determines the sound of the ensemble and even the solo vocalist.
Yet to be successful one must lead confidently and gently interpreting the score that is written down.
In the big band we have the vocalist out front singing the song and at times individuals will come from the ensemble for a solo which is the height of creativity. And in the big band it is usually the third trumpet position that gets the solo as the first trumpet or the "lead" trumpets job is so difficult and I mean physically difficult because of the demands of hitting those high notes accurately....
Wade, I see your work as that of a composer if we are using musical terms and that music is a form of communication when one really gets down to it and you are looking for like minded musicians and singers to produce something real in musical terms.
What Tony and Gaga did in that video is take the score or the American song book and bring it to life.
Can you tell I am gaga about Gaga?
Huge talent...
Off for more reading of your essay...
thanx

Hi Nine:
That was a great performance, really. Bennett has truly been one of my heroes, a grunt in World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bennett#1944.E2.80.9350:_World_War_II_and_after) who forcefully spoke out against the invasion of Iraq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bennett#1995.E2.80.93present:_No_retirement). Not many high-profile Americans did that. I really do not follow Lady Gaga, and I doubt that I ever heard one of her songs before, but she has a set of pipes on her!
OK, Nine, here will be a fun series of anecdotes that your jazz stuff brought up. I doubt that I have ever told this series of anecdotes publicly before. I could tell a lot more than you will read below, but it will be about all that I can publicly state.
My close relative (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=911561&viewfull=1#post911561) was a professional musician who began as a drummer, and his style was modeled after Buddy Rich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Rich). He was the drummer in jazz bands, which is where he got his start, and I believe that he played with those jazz legends mainly as a drummer. But when he was around 20, he was in a band, and the other band members told him that in that band, everybody had to sing. My relative replied that he did not sing, but the band members said that if he wanted to be in the band, he had to sing. So, they had him sing a song, and when he finished, they said that he sounded just like Frank Sinatra. This was in the 1950s. That began my relative's singing career.
He eventually had his own show at a couple of Vegas casinos in the late 1950s and early 1960s, during the Rat Pack days. His claim to fame was being a Frank Sinatra sound-alike, and he knew the Rat Packers and once talked to Frank about his situation, and Frank just told him to be himself and sing like himself, and if he sounded like Frank, well, he did.
One day, my relative was listening to one of Frank's new records, and realized that it was him singing on one of "Frank's" songs, not Frank! He was astounded. The producers had put him on one of Frank's records as Frank, and never asked for his permission or paid him for it. When my relative found out, the producers were afraid that my relative would sue, but he was just flattered that they would do it, and he never asked for any money or recognition.
When my relative worked in Vegas, he lived across the street from the gangster that ran Vegas. When I tell this story, I have called the gangster "Tony," and not many years ago, I looked up Vegas in those days, and the gangster who ran Vegas really was named Tony, so using Tony may well be accurate. When you make a living performing in a casino, you have night-owl hours, so my relative slept in the daytime and worked at night.
After six months or so of living across the street from the gangster that ran Vegas, my relative decidedly to finally pay his respects to his neighbor on a day off. So, he walked across the street, and two huge bodyguards were in front of the house, gangster style, but as my relative approached, they acted like a rock star arrived (well, I guess that he was), and said that Tony would love to meet him. So, my relative was ushered into the gangster's palace and was led through it back to Tony's "bedroom." This was in about 1960, mind you, and Tony's bedroom was a few thousand square feet. As my relative walked into the "bedroom," in the far corner was a hot tub, inset into the floor. In 1960, I doubt that many of those existed in the USA, but it was a perk that came with being the gangster who ran Vegas.
As my relative walked into the room, Tony was sitting in that hot tub (not sure if there were any women in the tub with him, but that would not be surprising), and as Tony saw my relative, he jumped out of the hot tub and eagerly walked over to my relative, as if a rock star had come into the room, and Tony was stark naked! This was Vegas, baby, so my relative took it in stride, that this naked gangster was treating my relative like Sinatra. After a couple of minutes of happy talk, Tony said that he wanted to kiss my relative. A naked gangster wanted to kiss my relative. What would you do? So, my relative let Tony kiss him, on the lips, and when Tony finished his smooch, he said that my relative was now part of the "family," and that if my relative ever needed anything, to just ask Tony.
They kept chatting, and I do not know if Tony finally put a robe on or not, but in their conversation, Tony asked my relative if he ever thought about fixing up his house, and my relative said that he thought about maybe painting the house and putting up a fence. After some time, the conversation ended and my relative went home. The next day he goes to work, and when he gets home in the wee hours after his show, his home had a new paint job and a white picket fence surrounding it. :)
In Vegas, when the mob ran it, entertainers like my relative were treated kind of like cherished pets, as that story with Tony demonstrates. I lived with that relative for several months when I was young, and I was into rock music at that time (Queen was my favorite band. I was pretty fanatical, and saw Queen on their final tour in the USA in 1982, and saw the next-to-last show that they ever played in the USA – there will never be another like Freddie). But every day when I got home, the house was blasting to Big Band music, and I eventually got to like it. To this day, I have a song list that I play pretty regularly that has Sinatra and other singers on it, playing those Big Band songs from the 1940s to 1960s.
My relative sometimes played his own records for me, and he played me that song on the Sinatra album when it was really my relative singing. It sounded just like Frank to me, and I asked my relative if he really sounded exactly like Frank, and he said it was close, but on that song, the producers altered the timbre of his voice just a little in post-production so that it sounded exactly like Frank.
Having your own lounge act in Vegas in the late 1950s and early 1960s meant a certain "lifestyle," and my relative smoked and drank like the rest of them, but it was his downfall, and drinking, among some other dynamics, saw him drink his way out of Vegas. Sammy Davis Junior remarked about my relative, "What a waste of talent." I miss my relative, who was a casualty of our system in a number of ways.
Now I am off to tweak my Industrial Revolution chapter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4), which is another monster.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Well, the Industrial Revolution chapter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) went rather quickly, even though it is a another huge chapter.
Q: Wade, so why England? Why were they the first to industrialize?
A: I would say that it was similar to where civilizations first appeared (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1); a confluence of circumstances allowed them to be the first people to really tap that new energy source, fossil fuels, on a scale that led to industrialization. For domestication and industrialization, it was all about tapping a new energy source, and was the result of opportunity, necessity, and humans able to exploit the next energy source that powered the world.
If you think about it, that first epochal event, based on stone tools (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1) and controlling fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), are actually skills that have been taught to great apes, so was a relatively modest mental feat. The toolset for the second epochal event was something far beyond the ability of apes to produce, and were the product of the minds of behaviorally modern humans (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#progress). Language may have been the critical ingredient (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#language) that sped up learning and information exchange exponentially, and allowed humanity to displace all other human species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal) and kill off the easy meat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna).
Domestication itself was probably no great mental feat, as far as the humans who did it were concerned, but it was likely something that that founder group could not have fathomed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine3). It is what domestication made possible that would have been mind-boggling to early humans, such as cities, metallurgy, writing, math, and so on.
Scholars have asked why Greece did not industrialize, as they were on a curve that could have led to it. I think that they ran out of energy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#athenshinterland) before they could reach that stage, and their civilization collapsed. But the rise of Europe was built on Greek technology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill2), and the cultural flowering of High Middle Ages Europe that led to the rise of science and reason largely had the reintroduction of Greek teachings (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toledo) to thank.
Europe's conquest of Earth was due to its turning the global ocean into a low-energy transportation lane (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2), and England was actually a kind of backward imperial aspirant while Spain (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#first), Portugal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#portugal), and the Netherlands (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#rivalry) were rising powers. Deforested England (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#domesday) was already burning coal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eleanor) when it revived its iron industry (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sussex), and its industrial growth was hampered by wood shortages. If England had not turned to coal, its nascent industrialization would have collapsed, but English entrepreneurs, out of opportunity and necessity, learned to smelt iron with coal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke), and the Industrial Revolution began. China smelted metal with coal millennia earlier, but only in England did it become the basis for what followed.
Also, England had also dispossessed the peasantry of the land they lived on (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gamelaw), and they became the workforce that mined the coal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaltowns) and worked the mills (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dickens), so a social-economic phenomenon helped out, and England had already chartered corporations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eastindia) as it began plundering the world's people. So, a new social organization accompanied the rise of industry. In hindsight, these trends can be discerned. Did it have to be the way that it happened? Certainly not. But it is how it happened, and there was no guarantee that it ever would. Australians never managed to have a Domestication Revolution. There was no environmental/technical reason why they could not, but the circumstances of necessity and opportunity never came together for them.
That is not to say that being a farmer is "better" than being a hunter-gatherer or a corporate executive, but when isolated peoples of each epochal phase could see the benefits of the one that used more energy, they all wanted it. Industrialized humans live fantastical lives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) compared to the earlier epochs.

Wade

Wade,
I finished your article today.
I was putting off reading the last half because of your American Empire essay and going back there as an American is so very painful. And I knew the later half would include those topics.
Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga on war:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUpxnAgHNJU
Is anyone home?
Tony Bennett was attacked viciously by the media for his comments.
100 years of British wars put to music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0fmRw_VSvA&list=UUtzk_Xyby9U2yP_DAi2gECQ
What I hope happens with your site here is that intelligent people will read your works and comment.
As for your work you are a gifted writer and your view of the larger picture for humanity is so important and I have read lots of things over the years but nothing so hard hitting as your essays Wade.
And so I am simply amazed that there are not more comments upon what you talk about....
thanx

Hi Nine:
Thanks for reading. You are a self-admitted average person, and you got through it, and your comments have often been perceptive. I hope that the last half of the big essay was a least as inspiring as it was painful. As far as comments on my work go, yes, it is and will be a slow process. When I interacted directly with the public, without the kind of buffer that Bill's Avalon forum provides, I got the same kind of treatment that Bennett did. Americans are crazed, like all imperial peoples are (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ww2), especially as their empire declines. Even when the USA's greatest war heroes speak out against war (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#butler), they are attacked or ignored. Audie Murphy knew that John Kennedy was not killed by a lone nut (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), but he knew that his life was forfeit if he spoke out. There was the USA's greatest war hero, afraid to speak out about the murder of his president, in The Land of the Free, and JFK was likely murdered by the same people who sent Murphy off to war (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk).
When I joined conversations in forums that discussed my work in ways that could have been productive, the trolls swarmed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) every time. As I recently mentioned (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=911973&viewfull=1#post911973), about the time that I did my first public interview, I was actually banned from the forums where I had a presence, and I then decided that I would have to make my own forum one day. Bill's Avalon forum was a pleasant surprise, and while it is polite here, which is why I joined the forum, yes, not much activity, and on the FE issue, this forum is largely stuck in the FE field's state of arrested development (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), with about 30 threads devoted to an FE inventor who claims he is the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and the other inventors-of-the-hour. Even when a thread was recently started, devoted to my big essay (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?77746-Wade-Frazier-Energy-and-the-Human-Journey-Where-We-Have-Been-Where-We-Can-Go), so far it has been dominated by discussion of that "Messiah," and nothing really about my essay so far. Dozens of posts about those inventors-of-the-hour have also been made on this thread, which is probably more than I have had good comments about my essay. But it really is better than any other forum would be, believe it or not. I will be building my own forum very slowly.
My big essay will likely not be embraced by the FE field, as it blows them all out of the water. I do not want to have anything to do with the field, anyway, for reasons that I have stated plenty of times. They attack Dennis with lies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), ignore him, Brian was treated similarly at times, as hard as that might be to believe, while people such as Mr. Skeptic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/skeptic.htm) were invited in to make their "astute" comments. For me, those events only reinforced my journey's primary lesson (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn). Everybody that I knew, who played at high levels of the FE game that I had much respect for, went through the meat grinder, usually receiving murder attempts, sometimes many, and at one point or another, they usually became disgusted with humanity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#disgust), wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience), and so on, and I understand.
I am not looking for heroes to help make FE happen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), partly because I know that there pretty much are not any on Earth. What I am looking for are people with enough integrity to lay aside their scarcity-based conditioning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) long enough so that they can just imagine abundance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
As you can tell, this is going to be a slow process, but I am ready for that. I have been at it for 40 years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction), and designed what I am doing so that I can do it for another 30. I am keenly aware that time is short for the human experiment on Earth. If we do not begin to wake up, and soon, it is going to be game over (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). On one hand, I am sympathetic to the sense of urgency that is behind wanting to support some "Messiah" who is going to save us all, but it is just one more way to play the victim game. It is time to act like the creators that we are (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). The kinds of efforts that you see in the FE field today always end in disaster that I have seen, and I am trying something different. But the people that I am trying to reach I know are less than one-in-a-thousand in the general population (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), but with this tool called the Internet to help me find them and them find me, I'll take my chances. It certainly will not be easy, but at least it is feasible. Following deluded "messiahs" sure isn't, or the many other paths to failure I am aware of (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), most of which I have been on.
Back to work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
For those who think that Global Warming is a hoax, I invite them to read this (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/14/shishmaref-alaska-climate-change-relocation_n_6296516.html). In the studies of Earth's greenhouse (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#geocarbsulf) and icehouse (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceagetable) phases over the eons, the climate at the poles was always the most dramatically affected, not the equatorial regions. The global warming models (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) of what humanity is currently inflicting on Earth's atmosphere always showed the poles heating up first. It has been happening for generations already, and may be about to really ramp up, and when what the arctic natives are experiencing comes to Florida and Bangladesh, the fun will begin.
Of course, with FE, problem solved (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greenhouse), and Earth's climate will have no impact on human welfare, anyway.

Hi:
Another chapter tweaked, on phase two of the Industrial Revolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal45), and one of the many Q&A questions that arose as I read it.
Q: Wade, you got pretty "conspiratorial" in that chapter, which came later in the essay than I expected. Why now?
A: Good question. I definitely do not "sneak up" on my readers, dropping such subjects onto them after I have them good and hooked, as I mention a bit of it in the essay's introduction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#summary), and it is scattered around in my essay. This was an entire area where I had to think a lot about how to do it, and I began to bring it up when it began to impact the essay's story line. In the essay's first half (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint), particularly the journey of life on Earth before the rise of humans, if there was a ""dinosaur conspiracy" (:) ), it has not left any evidence that we can pursue, and the investigation of ancient events in the journey of life on Earth does not threaten any global rackets that I can see, or at least very much, so I am not aware of any organized suppression of such scientific findings, other than maybe the faux debate on Global Warming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming), which is a concoction of the Hydrocarbon Lobby, an enabling media, and a scientifically illiterate public that refuses to accept responsibility for its actions.
There were obviously "conspiracies" going all the way back to chimps, as they would sneak into neighboring territories to kill their rivals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary). The first elites (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear) had to play games of secrecy and deception to become elites, and there have definitely been plenty of conspiratorial goings on in civilizations for millennia, but they could not have a global impact until Europe began to conquer Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2). Until then, elites could only play their games locally.
Also, the Industrial Revolution has been the greatest wealth generator, by far, in world history, and the rise of science with it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sciencerise) began to give rise to more sophisticated and scientific elite behaviors, but as people such as Chomsky (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) have pointed out, a great deal of it was right out in the open, such as the rise of public relations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bernays). Maybe because I am an American, and the biggest economic event of all time – the West's rise to global dominance, and the USA in particular – is something that I am quite familiar with, and I have borne the brunt of global elite manipulations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) and have run into Rockefeller machinations more than once (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller2), the Civil War era and the Gilded Age seemed like the appropriate place to begin to deal with those topics. It was also when organized suppression of FE seems to have begun, arguably with Tesla (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#teslatower).
Even as I was editing that chapter, I thought to myself, "Did I overdo the conspiratorial aspects of it?" In the end, I do not think so, and announce it when I get into it, to then put it aside until later. I have works at home about the conspiratorial version of history, so am not a stranger to that framework, but it really explains a small part of the dynamics, IMO. Oh, Godzilla is very real and vigilant, and the lone wolf FE inventor does not have a prayer, or movements built around Messiahs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) or scarcity-based ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) as a way to form some group "cohesion," but organized suppression only explains about 5-10% of why we do not have FE today. My work is largely about the other 90-95%. And as I evaluate my big essay, I think that I got the proportion about right. If I did it again, would I do it a little differently? Maybe. And future editions of the essay might have some reworking done, but it will probably be just a reshuffling of the deck, not really adding or subtracting much material. I am neither a conspiracist nor structuralist (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), but a comprehensivist (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) who had a mystical awakening (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#my), and I fully acknowledge conscious manipulation of the system, but those manipulators fail to see a much vaster picture than their egocentric games will allow them. I doubt that they can be beaten at their game and it is dangerous and foolish to try, and I advocate getting beyond our egocentric conceits, and combined positive intention (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), as Brian wrote of, is the way out, IMO. We are not going to defeat the "bad guys" in battle (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level9), but we can only make them obsolete. Only 0.0001% of humanity waking up to that reality (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) is all I need to "win" and help humanity into its next Epochal Phase (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I doubt that that is asking too much of humanity, but we will see.

Hello,
Yesterday I've seen a movie which made me think of this thread and the Free Energy discussion. (Yes, pretty much everything leads here, does it not?).
The movie is called More Than Honey (http://buy.morethanhoneyfilm.com/). (That's a link to the sales page, just so you know).
There are a few very interesting (and heart breaking) things in that movie, but what I want to write about now is "domestication" and how that is anything BUT "natural".
In an attempt to explain why the bees are dying all over the place, the narrator makes a good case that we have domesticated them, made them docile, squeeze all the honey of them (we basically steal it, as bee keepers readily admit). All this has brought the bees to a breaking point. They are weak and cannot face the onslaught any more. Apparently most bees cannot survive without human "help" in the form of water and chemicals. Reminded me of that world from Road's vision where cows were abused to give milk... That is what pretty much happens with the bees today.
But the point I am trying to make is something that become even more clear: in domesticating animals and plans, humans have become domesticated (something which Wade touches on in his essay)! What we consider "organic" and "raw" are not so at all.
I recommend watching that movie and keep in mind that if you replace the bee population with virtually any species on the planet that has been domesticated (including humans) and the picture that emerges looks pretty grim. If you are a bee lover this movie may be hard to watch. Also realize how this would be completely changed in a FE world. Another thing to keep an eye on is the blind and barbaric methods used by scientist to "study bees". I know they are super intelligent and some may actually care, but their methods are brutal.

Hi Ilie:
I have been aware of the plight of the bees for about a decade (I have a couple different documentaries here at home), and yes, the bee story is a great story on what our domestication methods have done to nature. IMO, what is most important, from a human perspective, is if it is loving or not. It may well be what humans are here to manifest, on a conscious level. Our success has been limited. :)
I keep thinking back to those two Roads worlds all the time, when I think about what the approach based in love (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) and the approach based in fear (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115) lead to, especially for manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) and making that abundant world feasible.
Basically, just about everything that we eat today (other than berries picked in meadows (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=873552&viewfull=1#post873552) ( :) ) or our raids of the ocean) has been domesticated. I do not see humans or our plants "going wild" anytime soon, but we will continue along the "domestication" path, but it can be a loving one, without the brutal methods that you point out.
Best,
Wade

..... we will continue along the "domestication" path, but it can be a loving one, without the brutal methods that you point out.....
I'm reminded of and encouraged by your A Vegetarian's Journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm) essay and your prophetic statement that "an FE population will be vegetarian" (although I can't seem to locate it!).
Your quote:
Humanity’s murderous ways are directly related to its carnivorous ways.
has pride of place in a thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?62855-Does-Our-Treatment-of-Animals-Affect-How-We-Treat-Each-Other) I started here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?62855-Does-Our-Treatment-of-Animals-Affect-How-We-Treat-Each-Other&p=741512&viewfull=1#post741512) around the exact same issue.
Do you see a global vegetarian/vegan(I hope :becky:) population through the successful implementation of free energy or will it simply be another aspect of the means becoming the ends in that transitioning to a compassionate diet aligned with love will in some way pave the way for the spiritual environement nessessary for realising global FE implementation (or is there another possible dynamic)?
Re' bees: I'm probably bee-ing over-simplistic here, but if they didn't have their food stolen so that we could consume it, perhaps they'd be in better shape and maybe even become self sufficient again.
Vegan rant over. Sorry. I know how polarising this topic can be and I don't want it to be responsible for scuppering this thread, but I still feel it's a discussion which should be explored here.

I think the choir/collective effort approach has a far higher chance of success overall. There are indeed heroes in the world, but heroes are fallible as well, and being in the limelight makes a person more vulnerable to ego delusions. Even if they resist said delusions, their associates may not, as occurred with Dennis. Another problem I see is with various people all wanting to be "THE ONE" who saved the world, and thus becoming needlessly paranoid and competitive with each other.
I've noticed it in the UFO and channeling field, with people who have differing experiences and views all accusing each other of being disinfo agents or frauds. Most of them probably aren't consciously creating disinfo, what can happen is that initial experiences with channeling or telepathy can be very deeply imbedded in the subconscious and distort subsequent experiences, unless balanced with 3D world data and input from others.
I also doubt the absolute, perfect state of enlightenment as defined in Buddhism and other traditions. The way it was explained to me by my Qigong teacher is that there is no final enlightenment, but rather enlighten-ments , transformations of awareness and the energy body that are endless and ongoing. Thus, the deep equanimity and compassion some monks and other teachers display is partly due to personal experience and practice but also being in an environment that supports said states. Change the environment and add in other stress factors and their integrity and equanimity can be shaken (though easier to return to than if you had never practiced at all). So yeah, don't put your faith in heroes and "perfect" enlightenment.

Great observations, guys. Yes, on "enlightenment," I agree that it is a journey, not a destination, and it is never over. :) On vegetarianism, I think that my own journey can serve as an example of what the prominent dynamics can be behind a world that largely, if not entirely, goes vegetarian in the near future.
I have written plenty (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons) about when my family went "health nut" when I was 12. It was for the entirely self-serving motivation of being healthy, and vegetarianism was not part of our approach at all. Even when I went vegan when I was 20 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm#vegan), I was not doing it out of some kind of enlightened regard for animals (although I have never been cruel to animals in my lifetime; long story, there), but I had already removed so many items from my diet that going vegan was almost just an experiment with me. When I went back to being vegetarian again after being forced into being a flesh eater when I began my career, it also was not out of some enlightened regard for animals, but because I could tell how eating meat impacted my health.
However, I went vegetarian the last and final time (I will be one until I die, I am sure, and might get to being a vegan again - I have eaten nothing with a brain since the 1980s), it was the year that I met Dennis, and the next four years were my radicalizing years. I cannot recall exactly when it happened, but along the way, probably by being awakened to the awesome suffering that humanity has inflicted on each other when I began my media and history studies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), I really thought about what animals had suffered through for being meat for humans, and I decided if I did not need to rob them of their lives to survive, then I wouldn't. There is no way that people need to eat meat to be healthy. When I hear people say that, I know it is a crock as they justify their desires with, "My biology made me do it."
So, when people finally begin to understand that life on Earth does not have to be a zero-sum game of warfare, genocide, and exploitation of each other to live the good life (I get both barrels of those kinds of mentalities from all directions every day), then their ethical horizons will rise, and becoming vegetarian will be a normal outcome of the process. The kind of activism by organizations like PETA is childish and unfortunate, kind of like Black Bloc "anarchists." But while people commit their innumerable evils against each other, there is not much of a chance that they are going to be considerate of animal welfare.
My supermarket does not test anything in the store on animals (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=897161&viewfull=1#post897161), and they try to participate in fair trade and support environmentally friendly practices. Sometimes it is lip service, but they are trying.
On the bees, yes, harvesting their honey indeed puts stress on them. Heck, I have a close relative who had bee hives in his multi-acre "yard" which was mostly forest, and one year the bees were gone, and he admitted to me that he overharvested them the year before, and the hive starved to death that winter. Skimming the optimal amount, whether it is a society (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#skim1) or a beehive, is a learned science.
On the choir approach (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), if I did not think it had a chance, I would not be doing it. Yes, the effort cannot afford to have heroes in it. Just being a real person on the Internet is already beyond what about 99.9% of the people on the Internet can muster, so my choir idea will require some minimal level of courage and integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/57-Terms-of-Membership), but it will be about a millionth of what Dennis has displayed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany).
Not only are the ego temptations great (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) for being a hero in manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), heroes in that milieu become targets for organized suppression, because if they cut off the snake's head, the body dies. I saw that repeatedly on my journey with Dennis. The choir will have to be a "No-Hero Zone.: :)

Hi:
Tweaking the monster chapters is done, and the rest of the essay is comprised of smaller ones, without nearly so much of the scientific/historical information in them, but those chapters are also where the lessons of the earlier chapters also begin to come together, and the comprehensive perspectives begin to come into view.
I just finished tweaking this small chapter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#boom) on post-World-War-II civilization, and many topics could be the basis for Q&As, and here is one.
Q: Hi Wade. I understand how nobody is making any more coal, oil, or uranium, but we have now built the infrastructure for industrial civilization, at least in the West. Could we just live off that, and not really need all that much energy?
A: In a word: nope. :) If you really think about technology and our industrial infrastructure, it all needs great amounts of energy to even run. It is similar to the fact that 90% of the wood used in early civilizations was burned (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroidecline). Nearly all of those fossil fuels are burned, and roughly half goes to running machines and half generates heat. Some of that is used to build infrastructure, but not much of it. The vast majority is consumed. Yes, we could to back to no air conditioning or heating, as a result of deciding what to do with our reduced energy budget, but since more than 80% of the world's energy is delivered by those fossil fuels, and we will totally run out of oil and gas in this century, and 90% of transportation today is powered by oil, the trade-offs will not be so easy. Basically, today's style of transportation will largely cease to exist, and maybe the sailing ship makes a comeback, but industrial civilization is really a complex of interdependent technologies that are designed with the current levels of energy use in mind. I would say that almost all of our industrial infrastructure would become unusable if we ran out of hydrocarbon energy.
With FE, it all becomes obsolete (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), but if we ran out of fossil fuels and there was not another great energy source in the wings, we would all go back to being farmers, and the big cities would likely go the way of Rome (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#antonine), and quickly. That recent movie Interstellar kind of dealt with the theme (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=900929&viewfull=1#post900929), but in the usual and unfortunate Hollywood fashion. Also, believe it or not, institutions such as slavery would likely stage some kind of comeback. Again, one of the themes of my work is that humanity's seeming cognitive, social, and ethical advances are highly dependent on our economic condition, and if the bottom falls out of our economic production, women's status will decline once again (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1), brute labor and violence will once again have a relatively high value placed on it, etc. Humanity's seeming sentience is highly economically conditioned. Get ready for something like Mad Max, but maybe without the vehicles, if we run out of energy.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Another chapter down (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#running). That was the last chapter added to the big essay, and was written in response to a pal's desire to have me show the relationship between the financial and real economies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#realeconomy), as his pals really did not understand the connection between energy and economics. To people such as Melinda and Limor, who are not scientists, the relationship seems obvious, but many on Earth are completely oblivious to the relationship, especially economists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists)! :) That shows how truly crazy the West's ideological systems are, when something so obvious can be completely beyond the comprehension of people trained in the field.
Again, I could make many Q&As for every chapter of my essay, even short ones like that newest one. Here is one.
Q: So Wade, you wrote about the tar sands and their low EROI and other problems. I suppose the same could be said for shale oil, right? What will be the effect of this collapse in oil prices?
A: Boy, there is a question near and dear to my heart. I guess that shale oil and fracking will likely not be as big an environmental catastrophe as the tar sands will be (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands), but don't ask anybody who lives where the fracking and shale oil operations are. I have heard from quite a few pals with those operations in their states, and they all complain to me about them, on several levels, and the environmental damage may well be subtle (or not so subtle) and long-lasting.
The bottom line is that tar sands and shale oil are not really even oil, but hydrocarbons that never got refined by geological processes into oil. They are among the dregs of Earth's hydrocarbons, with abysmally low EROIs. They are the dregs that the West is going after, now that all the easy oil is gone. It is not yet gone in the Middle East, hence our invasions and occupation of the region (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), but the idea of energy "self-sufficiency" that has been in the USA's business press the past few years is bizarre. How can we ever be "self-sufficient" in anything that we mine at a million times the rate that it is made (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dregs), especially as our civilization would collapse without it? It is more of the mindlessness that comes from the mouths of those who have been indoctrinated into the dominant economic ideologies.
To make that connection between the real and financial economies, those EROIs can be translated into money in ways. In the oil-rich Middle East, that high-EROI (around 40) oil has an extraction cost of a few dollars per barrel. That tar sand and shale oil with EROIs of around 3 or 2, has a cost of extraction of $40 and more per barrel. As the West's response to the financial collapse of 2008-2009 was to move nominal interest rates to zero and print boatloads of money (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming), previously marginal operations got the money. Just like I saw with marginal real estate in the Savings and Loan Scandal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#doomed), the shale oil operations got many billions of junk debt to fund their operations (of course, none for FE :) ). A great deal of those operations need oil to be priced at $100 per barrel to be profitable, but while there was all of that easy money, they sucked it up. Now, with the collapse in oil prices over the last several months, which may well last years, there is going to be another "domino effect" financial collapse. We are already in bubble states in several areas of the American economy, including high tech and real estate (two bubbles that should be very familiar to Americans ( :) ), and this oil price collapse (the Arabs can certainly keep on going with $4 per barrel extraction costs – not so for operations with extraction costs of $40 per barrel and more (direct extraction costs, and the "overhead" puts breakeven profitability at $60 to $100 and more for those shale oil operations)), so, the fireworks may be only beginning.
The idea that the world's central banks can keep printing money and showering it on stuff like shale oil operations is absolute insanity, but it has always been this way with fiat currencies. It is just currency debasement, pure and simple, and has been happening since Rome (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#debase).

Wade

Hi:
I have written about the medical racket (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm) for many years, and I am probably better known for my medical writings than anything else, including energy and history, and not much can surprise me in that realm, but this article (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/generic-ripoff12-14.html) raised my eyebrows:
It is as blatant as what Wall Street rammed through in the recent spending bill (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/12/spending-bill-992-derivatives-citigroup-lobbyists). It is almost like they just hold a gun to people's heads with a smile as they rob them, and know that they will get away with it, because they own the sheriff, judge, and so on. These are some of the reasons why I say that the USA is dead.

Wade,
I watched the Bee movie that Ilie put up and it was thought provoking.
In the film was a discussion of how industrial Bee farming is conducted and the cause of colony collapse syndrome.
At the end of the film was discussed the African bee and its aggressive tendencies and its mating and taking over of the other colonies that it encountered.
Many Bee keepers said that these Bees do not produce honey nor could they be successfully farmed or controlled.
Both of those assumptions were proven false by dedicated and cautious Bee keepers!
The honey was more voluminous and with zero chemical impurities. In the American South West Bee keepers would help homeowners remove Africanized Bee infestations from homes and relocate them to their Bee farms for honey harvest.
The remarkable thing about the Africanized Bees was there tendency to swarm if they found their human quarters unsuitable and it was also discussed that the hive itself might be the creature with some type of sentience! After swarming the hive would rally to protect their queen and send out scouts in search of a new home and then return with intel and the community itself would decide where to relocate based on solid scout intel almost like a military unit.
These bees would relocate to very inaccessible areas from both human and other predators! And so what happens to a farmed and controlled humanity might just be a huge surprise of sorts for our controllers...not that I have any clue what that might be or if it will ever happen...
Great thanks for our Ilie for sharing that film with us....
thanx Wade and Ilie

Hi:
OK, somebody snuck into the choir Q&A…
Q: Wade, what is your biggest screw-up in your writing work? You cover such vast subject matter that you have had to have messed up somewhere along the line. Where did you blow it the worst?
A: What, and reveal all of my scholarly frailties! :)
Actually, that would be a good exercise. About the time that my midlife crisis ended in 2006 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife), I began to intentionally revisit memories where I screwed up, or where I acted less than nobly, or when my ego got a little too high on its horse, and I found it to be liberating in a way. Oh, I could still wince at times from the memories, but more often, I thought of the glorious mess that I had made and kind of marveled at it. I have written about my life's greatest crime at Avalon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=578139&viewfull=1#post578139), and I definitely messed up in my adventures. Life is partly about screwing up and learning from our mistakes, our less-than-noble actions, and helping clean up our messes and ease any pain that we created around us. But you asked about my scholarly screw-ups, so here goes.
As I think back, most of my screw-ups were made in private, because I almost never went public unless I was pretty damned sure that I was right, and I think that my biggest mistakes were made early on, as I was getting my feet wet in the fringes. I wrote about that book report on Comet Kohoutek when I was 15 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=909243&viewfull=1#post909243), and nothing happened like the book described. Kohoutek itself was barely visible when it finally arrived. So, I think that even back then, I learned to be cautious about that fringe stuff.
When I staggered out of Ventura, radicalized, in 1990, the areas that I began to get my feet wet in were several. I was able to get library privileges from the university that I put my wife through in Ohio, and one of the first areas that I dove into was what we were doing in Ventura before they lowered the boom on us. I began studying thermodynamics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#carnot), I obtained and studied Mr. Mentor's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) and Victor Fischer's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer) engine patents, and also studied Dennis's heat pump (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new). Boy, the Second Law of Thermodynamics said that none of our FE ideas, of marrying heat pumps with heat engines, could work. Fischer and Mr. Mentor thought that they could, and I heard some of why they thought so, but I had to put it aside. I understood why Dennis's heat pump was the world's best heating system, and why Mr. Mentor's and Fischer's engines were so revolutionary, but I had to end up putting a question mark in my head on whether they could be combined and do FE.
The odds were against us, but I later learned that any technology that we were working on was not the threat that we presented to Godzilla. I was the focus of bringing talent together that could make us a formidable effort, and people like Sparky Sweet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) lived just down the road. I understand Godzilla's concern, as did Dennis. It was really no big surprise when they lowered the boom on us, but it is one thing to face it in one's imagination, and it is another to live through it. Oh, those memories are extremely painful to visit. So, looking into that technical stuff was very enlightening, and made our FE efforts in Ventura seemingly dubious, although Dennis revived them a decade later, as he worked with Fischer again, and they got one of his engines running for a day. Did it do FE? I kind of doubt it, but maybe it did.
At the same time that I was diving into thermodynamics and what we were pursuing, I was introduced to the alternative media (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), including Noam Chomsky and Ed Herman. I also stumbled onto Ralph McGehee's work in those days (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), and reading his book was one of my awakening moments. Another year later, I was reading Howard Zinn (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn), David Stannard (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#debate), and the like. All these years later, their work is still rock solid, among the best iconoclastic works that exist in the West.
But I was also Wade the Mystic, and I stumbled into Gaston Naessens (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens) in those days through a Canadian publishing company that I was ordering mystical books from. As I began my scholarly career in raiding the works referred to in the references, I stumbled into Ralph Hovnanian's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mdaq.htm) Medical Dark Ages while reading about Royal Rife (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife). I have to say that I have no doubt that Rife's and Naessens's microscopes indeed got/get "impossible" resolutions, similar to Yull Brown's "impossible" LENR with his Brown's Gas (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull). What I did notice, at times, was some of that stuff being overhyped, like a list of more than 30 Brown's Gas applications that somebody involved with Yull came up with. While Brown's Gas is definitely weird stuff, those 30 applications were a bit of a stretch. Most were likely not very practical, even if possible (and they may have been largely possible).
Whether the pleomorphic biology that was discovered with those microscopes is valid is an area where I could be considered to be going out on a limb, but I actually dug into the area more than a little, beginning with Béchamp (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm), I got a live blood reading done, talked with specialists in the field, and was even working with a man who worked with Naessens, to have our own scope built, when the roof caved in on Dennis's New Jersey operation in 1997. I talked with Naessens and his wife, knew people who built and sold Rife devices, and eventually obtained some 714X for a person (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#personal). If I had nothing but money and time, that entire area is one that I would love to dive into. Is it valid? I think so, and I am far from alone.
I have watched the pioneers in that field be assailed by "skeptics" and medical authorities, but Morris Fishbein and the AMA (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fishbein), much less the "skeptics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)," do not have much credibility with me. I never saw a credible dismissal of those microscopes or their findings. Christopher Bird called Naessens the Galileo of the Microscope, and I can see why. Damn, just look through the microscope! How hard can that be?
So, those were early areas that I looked into that were either rock solid or sure seemed credible and worthy of further investigation, which orthodoxy completely failed to investigate in a credible manner.
But that does not mean that everything that I poked into ended up being valid. Because my father worked in Mission Control during the Space Race (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), I have always been an avid fan of space exploration. Right around the same time that I was diving into those other areas, I obtained William Brian's Moongate, which argued that the Moon really had much higher gravity than official acknowledged (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#neutral), and that we may have landed on the Moon using exotic technology, like maybe antigravity. For years, I thought that he really had something, but when I began to do the study for my website that I published in 1999, before I hired an editor, I was directed to a work that could get to the bottom of Brian's technical argument for why the Moon had high gravity, and it did not hold up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#orbital).
Over the years, I slowly became aware of a small group of people who argued that the moon landings were faked. I had considerable skepticism about that, but read the works over the years. I first encountered Bill Kaysing's booklet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#kaysing), which was not very convincing, but when I was with Dennis in 1996-1997, he had Ralph Rene's book (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#rene). Rene had actually tried to create a way to perform a controlled experiment of Yull's LENR demo for Dennis's Philadelphia show (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#philly), and Dennis's assistant said that Rene was not particularly likable. But I spent a night or two reading Rene's book. It was one heck of a lot better than Kaysing's, but was far short of convincing. In early 2001, almost begrudgingly, I decided that I had better get to the bottom of the faked moon landings issue, and I obtained Percy and Bennett's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#percy) Dark Moon, obtained Jim Collier's video (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#collier), and started to hunker down. I also got official NASA books, raided the libraries, etc. Just as I began to go deep, a TV show came on in which Brian O was interviewed, and he said that maybe we did not land on the Moon! Damn, but that made me really begin to dig deeply (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#apollo). The guy who produced that TV show also put out a video of allegedly faked NASA footage (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sibrel), and I got it.
I'll tell you right now, that it can be extremely hazardous to one's sanity to spend months alone, sifting through that kind of material. For a couple of frantic days, I thought that there really was something to that "faked footage." I contacted experts in image analysis (like Face on Mars professionals, but got the brush off), and after a couple of days, I figured out that the footage really was not fake, but very misinterpreted by the person promoting it (Bart). Some of Collier's footage had me falling off my chair when I saw it, also of allegedly faked footage, that time from the lunar surface, but upon further investigation, it was not faked footage, but NASA PR people playing fast and loose in the editing room when making a movie for the public, and some misinterpretation by Collier. A lot of the so-called evidence of faked pictures and video footage is really just cropping and other games played by the PR people, which becomes evident when you obtain the raw footage.
I began to go through Dark Moon, and went pretty deep on their claims, but one by one, they fell apart on further inspection. I am telling you the rabbit holes that I went into on this, before I ever went public with any of it. When I finally published the first draft of my cover-up essay, my position was that very little of the evidence presented by those arguing for faked moon landing withstood close inspection, and I stated that I felt pretty sure that we landed on the moon as advertised, but I still had some areas where I had some doubt. I kind of left it open-ended, and openly wondered what the truth might be.
My first draft of that essay created a little splash in the moon hoax and JFK assassination communities on the Internet, and I was soon interacting with the man who today is considered the best expert on the faked moon landings evidence. He helped resolve some of my residual skepticism, and then we jointly found obscure Apollo 1 footage that removed about 99.9% of my residual doubt (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#paydirt).
Now, that is not an instance where I took some strong public stand, to later get egg on my face, but I was definitely going deep down the rabbit hole for a few months. In the end, it was an invaluable learning experience, the kind that I recommend for any fringe enthusiast. It can be very valuable to go down the rabbit hole, get misled, and eventually find your way back to the surface.
I really have not taken any public stands where I ended up with egg on my face (or much), because I was pretty cautious about getting to the bottom of anything as best I could before I took a public stance. I could be "sold" privately for a while, but I would always kick the tires as best I could before I took a public stance, and when I got the egg on my face, it was a private egging.
Time for bed, but tomorrow I plan to write about mistakes that I have made in my public work. I corrected them as I found them, and usually said so on my site, so that readers were not permanently misled by me, and I will get into some of those more memorable errors.
Best,

Went for a long hike today with my pal pete....
He is a brilliant investor who worked for years in those Chicago trading pits with futures.
He knows markets.
Oils target lows?
55 dollars a barrel or lower which will trigger a bursting bubble that will last for a long time in QE inflated markets.
He says that the Fed allowed for a huge miss allocation of capital.
I asked my pal directly if energy from oil was the key to economics and his astute reply was that it is but not in the short term as oil as a commodity in today's short term world as corporations compute such things is in a state of huge over supply.
The cause? An over supply of capitol directed at inefficient markets in the energy sector.
He thinks that Russia is the cause. And so I asked him if indeed Russia is just another competitor for a limited resource?
That was when he was confounded and so we discussed the horrible weather on our hike...
Thanx Wade for your advice upon such matters...post 4415 above being a prime example!
As always I get so much out of some of your stuff but that post above is so true about rabbit holes and the internet and there are lots of crazed folks out there to be sure...
But are they(folks on the net) any more or less crazed than I was while involved with Evangelical Christianity?
Maybe making folks crazed is the point for some folks...like in divide and conquer?
Just a crazed opinion....;)

Hi Nine:
I was about to go to bed and saw your last post. Your friend was right regarding a bubble and misallocation of capital, as I also stated in my post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=912799&viewfull=1#post912799). I'll write more tomorrow, but yes, oil corporations chasing a profit do not see oil the way that a scientist does. And even oil-producing nations have another perspective, which is also not how scientists see it, but people vying for power and their place in the world. Scientists who are talented and study the issue get the big picture of where oil fits in, but businessmen, capitalists, and leaders of oil producing nations have a more myopic view. Again, I'll write more tomorrow.

Wade,
If I might comment upon your greatest crime.
A pal of yours marries a hot chick and cheats upon her and basically treats her like **** and all of "his" pals hit on her since they know he is cheating on her and view her as fair game sexually speaking....and yes I am a bit older than you and I remember the seventies well as I was a young man then....
And she sensed that you had a streak of decency about you and probably was looking to you for a rescue from her situation of being abused and she used what she had....her hot body as a way to attract you to her....
Of course when older one looks at such things and sees how that it simply can not work out for anything good....
As a young man I had a relationship with a woman whom I dearly loved and it was very long term and yet she met someone else and left me....and of course it was devastating to me as a young man and so I avoided promiscuous women though offered "services" I refused and then I met my Wife of over 30 years as you met your wife....that relationship is the best and most valued one that I have dearest Wade....
You are a decent person Wade...
I have many and very deep regrets about my life also and reflection is good and instructive to younger men...
thanx

Wade,
As few post upon your thread it leaves me with just another opportunity to ask you your opinion about Israel and the middle east conundrum and the American empire.
Upon reading conspiracy blogs the conclusion is that Israel controls America and that Jews are to blame for our collective national problems.
What plain hogwash. Abrahamic religion is a control mechanism of our elites from the Romans.
One could fixate on conspiracy of course but that is a dead end path.
That script was created before the first century and was simply added on to to fit the situation as the elites changed and civilizations rose and fell and yet the story is still useful for control purposes.
Uncle Noam calls Israel an American air craft carrier in the middle east.
The tail does not wag the dog since the head dog is in total control as I see things...
Many blog conspiracy writers say that Israel is a racist apartheid state which is true but bottom line from your essays is that America herself is a racist and apartheid state and that Israel is just her perverted step child....
Of course the game is control of the last high EROI energy sources of hydrocarbons in the middle east.
I am your average American and so to me this is so very clear to me...
I have a four hour hike planed for tomorrow and the next day winter returns to Wisconsin and a freeze to our mountain bike trails....and of course cycling is my first love Wade I am so sorry to say...:p
thanx

Hi Nine:
You are not shrinking from the questions, and that is fine. On my crime, oh, I am too familiar with the dynamics that led to it, and it was sad all around and one of my life's most bittersweet situations. I became the most loyal friend, after betraying my friend that way (it was his girlfriend, not wife), no matter how much he seemed to "deserve it." I actually think that it had something to do with my rescuing Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it). So, the entire series of events was likely orchestrated by my "friends." Such has been my life.
On the bees, boy, I will put yet another bee documentary on my list of movies to watch. I just put it in my Amazon shopping basket.
I see Judeo-Christian religions as just a variant of the religions of the day. All of the first civilizations had professional priesthoods that essentially waged war against the first religions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1), and replaced singing and dancing with belief and indoctrination, which "coincidentally" deified the elite (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity). So, all dominant organized religions in the Domestication Revolution phase of humanity were creations of the state, and became methods of social control and made for some nice cash flow for the priesthood. :) I know of no exceptions. But the "ecstatic" religions from the pre-civilized days kept reappearing in one guise or another, which the professional priesthoods were always trying to eradicate. Today's New Age (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) is just a variant.
Also, although the root of organized religion is warfare (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity), there really is a spiritual reality and dimensions beyond the physical, and there have been spiritual masters on Earth. One class of them precipitated social revolutions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#transcendental), and the "ultimate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#infinite)" class "channeled" the godhead and their message was "We are all one." But the professional priesthoods could always be counted on to turn the enlightened teachings of the masters into part of the racket. So, I do not see Judeo-Christian religions (including Islam) as any different. There is something "real" at their heart, but they also have been corrupted by the priesthood and the secular rulers. It has always been this way, in a world of scarcity.
On Israel, yes, I see it more like Noam does. Godzilla is very real (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc), but he is not Jewish. :) What Israelis are doing to Palestinians is what the English and Americans did to the Indians, and is about how Germany treated Jews in the 1930s, and we can only hope that the 1940s treatment does not reappear.
Back to oil and your financial friend. In capitalism, oil is seen as a commodity, and corporations seek profits above all else (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit). It is the nature of the beast. There were certainly very dirty motives behind invading Iraq (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iraq1), for instance, in the oil-industry-dominated Bush administration. The oil companies have certainly been involved in the organized suppression of high-MPG carburetors (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb1), as I discovered long ago, even before I met Dennis, even leaving aside Mr. Mentor's engine (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), what my Justice Department friend reported (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb), and even when Dennis was finally run out of the USA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872). Evil games are being played there, but my understanding is that Godzilla plays at an entirely different level of the game. He has had FE, antigravity, and other technologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) for longer that I have been alive, and he sees those oil games as the lads at play. You do not get to find out about those higher levels until you begin playing crazy games and risking your life bringing disruptive energy technologies to market. Then you trip the light fantastic, Mr. Wizard can come out from behind his curtain, and the truth of many "conspiracy theories" can be revealed.
Like looking into the moon landings (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=912935&viewfull=1#post912935), it is easy to get sucked into those rabbit holes and never emerge, and I caution people against getting too enthralled with that subject matter. For me, it is more than enough to know that Godzilla is real, vigilant, and those technologies in his Golden Hoard are very real. You can take that to the bank, and lives were lost to play at the levels where such situations could be verified by those around me. That was not our intent, but was one of the side-effects of playing at the levels that we did. Obsessively focusing on that situation is what conspiracists do, and it is one more way to play the victim (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), IMO.
For me, that sequestered technology is what is important, and that is what I am trying to help manifest in the public sphere, to either encourage it to come in from the shadows or independently develop some of it. It may well be the hardest task on Earth, and who am I to pursue it? Well, just somebody who had a voice in his head lead him down a path that almost nobody around him can believe was real. I am not doing any of this for my "friends'" sake, but for Earth and humanity, and frankly, I want to spend a lifetime or two living in a world like this (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). :)
Actually, Nine, I am emotionally centered in this lifetime (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), so I get the emotional pull, believe me, especially with my preposterous journey. But I was also blessed with a genius-level IQ and I am an Artisan soul, and Artisans function on several levels at once, hence my comprehensive vision. I know that what I have lived through and become is pretty unique on this planet, and I feel great pressure to make a dent with it with the years I have left, hence my public work. I think that my focus is evident on this thread, if nothing else. :)
Back to oil. So, oil is seen by many capitalists at the "retail" level as a commodity to make a huge amount of money. Many national economies are based around extracting and selling oil, and even though there is a great deal of corporate propaganda about the USA's repeated invasions of the oil-rich Middle East (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), you really have to be an idiot to doubt that oil is the only reason we are over there (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), with the world's biggest killing machine. Everything else is just noise.
So, with so much of the world's economy and geopolitics focused on oil, it is where the big capitalist plays can be made. This situation with the shale oil and junk bonds is the fifth bubble/scandal like it that I have seen in my lifetime. The first was the petro-dollar Third World debt situation in the 1970s (and the big Western banks screwed the Arabs and hung the losses on them, in one of those "conspiratorial" situations that you will not read about in the newspaper). The second and third happened in the 1980s, with the junk bond (led by "philanthropist (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy1)" Michael Milken (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#savings)) and Savings and Loan (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#doomed) scandals, in the Reagan greed years. The next one was the subprime scandal of 2008-2009 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#subprime), which nearly took down the global financial system.
The basic dynamics are as follows. Under the relentless logic of capitalism and the quest for profits, everything becomes a way to make money, and rackets over life and death issues are actually the norm, such as that article I referred to last night (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=912908&viewfull=1#post912908). Those financial scandals and collapses were all based on easy money seeking the marginal borrower. Marginal borrowers are just that, marginal. They are not good credit risks, but lending to them can create high yields, and if the people creating those games are clever enough (and they are), they essentially create a game, draw in the suckers with high yield promises as they lend to the marginal borrowers, and they make the money up front and are long gone by the time the roof collapses, or they know how to stick the suckers with the losses. This is far from a unique view, but standard among the experienced and savvy. That has been the basic dynamic, and we are seeing it play out again with the shale oil play (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/financialized-oil12-14.html). The oil source is very marginal, which is why nobody went after it until now. Such abysmal EROIs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands) translate to high costs of extraction, and when you cannot make your debt payments unless oil sells for $100 a barrel, and the big players on Earth have extraction costs of only a few dollars per barrel, you are going to be a very marginal borrower.
As the world's central banks have been printing money with abandon and keeping interest rates at zero, they have created an incentive to look for high-yielding risk assets, and that easy money has been chasing marginal borrowers once again, and this is going to end up like the previous scandals, and Wall Street's recent lobbying for that law that will have the taxpayers pick up their gambling tab (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=912908&viewfull=1#post912908) is merely evidence that Wall Street knows full well what is coming. You have to be an idiot not to see it coming. Half of Wall Street should have gone to prison in the 2008-2009 collapse, and getting Spitzer out with that hooker scandal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_Spitzer_prostitution_scandal) was just "insurance" for Wall Street, to make sure that they would not be prosecuted for their criminal activity, but bailed out! It was incredible to witness, and makes me wonder if Wall Streeters will eventually be lynched. No more "nice" Occupy movements, but torches and pitchforks, and the militarization of the USA's police shows that TPTB know what is coming. And that is all far below where Godzilla plays the game.
Maybe I'll write more later, but it is off to my scholarly screw-ups.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Another area that I looked into for many years, and am still on the fringes of the controversy today, is catastrophic theory, particularly of the Velikovskian kind (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky). I stumbled into it while poking into Carl Sagan's debunker career (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan). I could go on for days about all that. Brian got sucked into the Face on Mars issue (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#new) early in his fringe investigations, but saw how proponents (Hoagland in particular) had cooked the data, and had largely disassociated himself from the controversy when those better images came back. Brian learned the hard way about letting himself be used as a political football by various groups, and ended up really regretting his moon landing "skeptical" stance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#statement). But he nearly lost life when he poked into the UFO issue (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack), and when I told him about the underground technology show that my friend received (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), Brian was not particularly impressed, as if I was telling him that the sky was blue. So, what a minefield that all is to navigate.
Back to Velikovsky. That book that showed how the moon's "neutral point" is calculated, which collapses the Moongate thesis, I found through the most famous Velikovskian apostate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#orbital). We still keep in touch. I have a pretty large stack of Velikovsky-related literature at home. Although Einstein graciously received Velikovsky's hypothesis and Worlds in Collision was the only book open on Einstein's desk when he died, Einstein did not buy the planetary billiards scenario, nor does any professional astronomer that I know of, including Brian. But I spent years not only poking into the "affair" around suppressing Velikovsky's work, I also tried to assess Velikovsky's multi-disciplinary synthesis, and it was one hell of a lot to digest. Back in the 1990s, I was not competent to really assess its validity, but watched the salvos fly back and forth between the catastrophists and their assailants.
But when I resumed my science studies after 2002, which led to writing my big essay, as a side-effect of my studies, a number of Velikovsky's theories fell apart, such as the catastrophic explanations for the megafauna extinctions. I see catastrophic explanations for the megafauna extinctions to this day, but they are even less compelling than the climate change explanations that various groups of scientists churn out to this day (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2). I am afraid that humanity gets the "credit" for driving most of Earth's megafauna to extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), not climate and certainly not celestial events or glacial floods. While I never actually promoted catastrophic ideas as valid, I publicly took a somewhat sympathetic stance to their body of work. A dozen years later, not much of the catastrophic hypotheses hold up, as far as I am concerned. That does not make me a uniformitarian, either. Darwin's uniformitarian beliefs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lyell) actually set back evolutionary theory by more than a century in the realm of mass extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctiontable). The bolide event that took out the dinosaurs was certainly a catastrophic event, the most spectacular in the history of complex life in Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), and led to the rise of mammals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cenozoic). There are people in my circles, who are generally scientifically illiterate, who cannot appreciate those distinctions. So, I never really took a strong catastrophic stance, but it sure was a rabbit hole that I disappeared down for years.
I was sympathetic to the Face on Mars issue, and am even closer to it than my Brian connection, and was still sympathetic until probably about a decade ago, when I finally began going deep on the studies that led to my big essay, and realized that an indigenous civilization on Mars was very unlikely. Oh, Godzilla has likely been to Mars, and his contingency plan to terraform Mars as his ultimate survival enclave (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars) demonstrates his megalomania, but I strongly doubt that life as we know it lives there indigenously. There is really not a breathable atmosphere, among other issues.
An area where I am probably hanging it out there the most today, from a scientific perspective, is my sympathy for Richard Wrangham's Cooking Hypothesis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking). While its explanatory power seems highly impressive, and parts of it are highly likely to be valid, it is a hypothesis that may well fall by the wayside. I am not sure if it can be falsified, as no evidence of fires two million years ago may mean that it was not preserved or we do not yet have the tools to detect it. But it might end up being "falsified" in other ways, by more compelling explanations, backed by the evidence, of other reasons for the array of evidence that Wrangham's Cooking Hypothesis currently explains. I may have to backtrack on that one someday, and wipe a little egg off my face. :)
A place where I got it wrong was because I relied on secondary scholarship, and the misquote of FDA head Herbert Ley (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#ley) was the most prominent one in my work, which I explain at that link. I have taken unorthodox positions on fluoridation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm), orthodox and alternative cancer treatment (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket), how the media works (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), what the history textbooks tell us (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), the nature of capitalism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism) and its "free markets," JFK's murder (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk), and many other topics, but for each of those, I feel that I am standing on very solid ground. It is not like I made up my positions, but found them in my adventures and investigations, and they withstood scrutiny. More than that, those data points helped frame the paradigm that I am trying to impart with my work.
In brief, you can take these to the bank.
History is written by the winners (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more);
The Western media (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) is far more about social and mind control than it is to help create an informed and critically thinking public;
Western medicine is largely a racket (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#developing);
The energy industry is a huge racket that does not even deserve to exist, with the technologies that I know exist (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground);
People killed off all other human species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal) and Earth's easy meat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) in our initial conquest of Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit);
All organized religions are primarily a means of social control (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1);
Materialism is a religion that rests on false assumptions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote);
Organized suppression of disruptive technologies, particularly energy technologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), has been refined to a science by the people who run Earth, and they don't just suppress, but the toys in their Golden Hoard are indeed impressive;
There is one hell of a lot more going on (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack) with the UFO phenomenon (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm) than the world's governments are admitting, and we may well not be alone in the universe, and Earth might be receiving visitations from our galactic neighbors; if their presence is being covered up, the primary reason is to prevent their exotic and disruptive technologies from coming into public awareness, not to change the "story" of humanity's past so much;
John Kennedy was not killed by a lone nut (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), and sitting American presidents are little more than errand boys (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents), in the view of those who really call the shots on Earth;
Organized skepticism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) is comprised of little more than establishment attack dogs, and serving their patrons and beliefs, not a pursuit of the truth, are their primary motivations;
That fluoride is an industrial waste (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm) that attacks the brain and enzymes, among other parts of human anatomy, and the world's biggest fluoride polluters accomplished the mind-boggling and Orwellian feat of turning an industrial waste into "medicine."
Areas where I once had sympathy and even some belief in its possible validity include:
That we may have landed on the Moon with exotic technology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#neutral), and for a couple of days, even I doubted that we landed men on the Moon (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sibrel);
That Paul Bragg (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/bragg.htm) was a genuine health guru with an amazing life's story;
That catastrophic celestial events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) may have had significant impact on humanity during the early days of the Domestication Revolution;
That Herbert Ley (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#ley) said that the FDA was a racketeering organization (it is, but Ley did not quite admit it);
That heat pumps married with heat engines could make FE (maybe they can, but it would likely be marginal and would be a poor cousin to what Sparky Sweet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) developed or what has been developed in the Black Projects realm (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), quite possibly from reverse-engineering "captured" ET craft);
That the USA was a great and noble nation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm), and that the USA's legal system had something to do with administering justice (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run);
That the media was informative (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) and did its best to tell the truth to its customers;
That the USA's Founding Fathers were a bunch of heroes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers), and that the man who my grammar school was named after (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra) was saintly (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#saint);
That doctors knew best (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons);
That my profession provided some important societal benefit (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing).
I could make both of those lists much longer, but that is enough for now.
Back to work.

Hi:
Another chapter down, the autobiographical one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), along with my fellow travelers, especially Dennis, Mr. Professor, and Brian. It is hard to put on my editor's hat with material like that. I could literally talk about the material in that chapter for months. Lifetimes of preposterous experience are covered in that chapter. Here is one Q&A.
Q: Wade, Jesus! Are you sure that those events happened on Earth? It is so far over the top that it seems like you are trying to exceed Homer or something.
W: Well, a big difference is that I am also a prominent character in the tale. It would be as if I was the manservant to Ulysses and Achilles, threw a few spears myself, and then wrote about our adventures. Believe it or not, that chapter is a very conservative rendering of our experiences. If I really told it all, and could have Brian and Dennis alongside me telling their tales, I am not sure if anybody would believe it, which is one reason why I am pretty reluctant to get into conversations with people about them. I usually end up receiving reactions of fear and denial, as people defend their worldview from the challenges that our experiences pose. It is rarely pretty, and I don't like trying to blast through people's blinders, disabuse them of their delusions, and help them expand their view of the universe and how life on Earth works. I am definitely not trying to engage the masses. I did it for years with Dennis and Brian and on my own (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and I finally decided that it was not going to work, and those experiences have informed my current approach.
When Dennis would pitch to the public, he would often gild the lily regarding the credentials and accomplishments of our little band, and I told him that the straight truth was plenty spectacular enough, and that he did not have to stretch anything. Dennis's books are actually conservative and factual renditions of our adventures. His The Alternative is heavily documented, and I put a bunch of those documents from his books on my site (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), 3 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#conviction)). I could write for months on the subject matter of that chapter, and I'll only give a few analogies, examples, and an anecdote or two.
Brian's astronaut interview has got to be in the top-ten most bizarre interviews of all time, and the only time (at least publicly) that somebody has been asked to visit another planet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars). The astronaut corps did not have a problem with Brian's Martian credentials when I worked with them to publish Brian's NASA biography (http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/oleary-bt.html), but a leading space debunker enlisted a NASA historian to debunk Brian's Martian credentials right after NASA published Brian's biography. I have been on the receiving end of "debunking" many times, and it was the kind of performance that I have come to expect from the "skeptics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)." Organized skepticism does not deserve any credibility at all. As a group, their incompetence and dishonesty were some of the greatest that I ever encountered, and that is saying something. But as preposterous as Brian's astronaut interview was, it does not even make the top 20 events in our journeys, on the incredible scale.
What is kind of "funny" is the difference between what I found hard to believe, even as I was living the events, and what my listeners and readers find hardest to believe. A voice in my head (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2)), leading me into my odyssey is bizarre, and might make the top 20 events, but if that voice was "God," we are going to have a little chat when I pass over. I want to be let in on the joke. :)
When I was 16, and had just come home from an eye-opening two months in Europe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe) and was beginning to have my energy dreams (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction), if you had told me what the next 40 years would bring, I doubt that I would have believed much of it. But the parts that I would have had the hardest time believing are not the parts of my story that my listeners and readers find hardest to believe.
I'll admit that a $1 billion offer to go away (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) is a little outside the experience of the average cubicle-dweller, and I received denial as a response all the time regarding that event, and it probably makes the top 20. The exotic technology show that my friend got was mind-boggling (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) and probably makes the top ten, but the parts that I would have found the hardest to believe were all the attacks and betrayals that I received from my friends and family, and how easily people around us were duped by the psychopaths (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#easy), especially those on Godzilla's payroll. The enemy is us. That was the primary lesson of my journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), and there is no way that you could have convinced me of it when I was 16. I had to have it relentlessly beaten into my head over a very disillusioning decade.
I'll finish this answer with an anecdote. I have spoken about this event in an interview, and it was a pivotal moment in my radicalization. My radicalizing moment came on a witness stand a few months earlier, as I had my face rubbed in evil (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces). I had already gone through the lowest part of my journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it) and had already sacrificed my life in a quixotic gesture to free Dennis, which was the greatest miracle that I ever saw, but he would not gain his freedom for another month or so. Mr. Researcher may have still been in hiding at that time (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hiding), and I was incredibly driving to LA (which I fled two years previously, and vowed that I would never return), working at a medical lab that was in the process of being eviscerated by the medical gangsters (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), and beginning to dig out of my financial abyss. But the worst was over for me. My future wife and I had been together for about one year, and what a year to live through. On weekends, I was helping out Mr. Professor and Dennis's wife, and one of those weekends in early 1989, I spent a day creating and mailing the Form W-2s and 1099s for our employees and contractors (the record of their earnings and tax withholdings, so that they could file their tax returns; those same people who stole everything not nailed down on their way out the door (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#steal1)). I was trying to do the right thing, and may have also been trying to reduce the legal issues that Dennis faced. Mr. Professor and I could not imagine shirking our fiduciary duty.
As I have written, I was a star athlete in college. In my "memory box" at home, I have newspaper clippings of my marks in the high jump and javelin throw, and sometimes I was in meets that were reported in the LA Times and not just the local paper. I have also written that I read the newspaper every day, from age nine or ten until my early thirties. I have also written about how my mother worked at the local newspaper (she worked there for about 30 years), and how she eventually made a scrapbook of those libelous newspaper articles (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=300436&viewfull=1#post300436) about our company and took it on tour to my friends, family, and investors, telling the story of her son the criminal. She never even asked for my side of the story; her employer's word was good enough for her. By that time, nothing about human behavior could ever surprise me again, but I read the LA Times every day for about a decade in total, and I was subscribed to it that day in the winter of 1989, probably in February, but maybe in March. The preceding is just to give you a sense of the setting.
In the Thursday edition of the LA Times that I received at home, there was a Ventura County section, so that the local readers of the LA Times could read some coverage of their community. While I had not read an accurate paragraph (maybe there were a few accurate sentences) about us in the local paper over the previous year, I had some sense that the LA Times, which I had read for a decade, might do a less criminal job of covering us. Was I ever wrong.
I got home from work on that Thursday and began reading the paper, on the same table where I had recently prepared those tax forms. Then I got to the Ventura County section. The entire first page was an article about Dennis, and it was not just the front page, but the article also extended to other pages within that section. It was an "investigative report" on Dennis and our company. It took about an hour to read that article, and when I finished, I thought to myself, "They can just make it up as they go." It was a series of lies, half-truths, and rumors, from start to finish. If I did not know that it was about us, I would have never suspected that they were writing about us. It was like it was written on another planet.
A month later, my quixotic gesture worked and we sprung Dennis from jail, and my heroics were no longer needed. I told Dennis repeatedly that I was finished playing FE revolutionary, but he kept trying to get me to work with him again. I briefly did in 1996-1997, and nearly went to prison for my trouble (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting). Even today, Dennis would love to have me come back to work for him, but I had to take another path.
As I recall, somewhere in those days, I stopped subscribing to the LA Times, and when I began to discover the alternative media, Noam Chomsky (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and publications such as Lies of Our Times (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot), I was ready for what they had to teach me. I have studied the media more in the past 25 years than I ever studied accounting or science. I probably have not read a newspaper since the 1990s. I rarely read the mainstream media much, other than articles on Yahoo!, but I never read Yahoo! for the important stuff, but go to alternative and foreign media if I want to find out what is really happening in the world, at least as much as any media is going to know. :) The big, important stories are not credibly covered by any media on Earth, which is partly why I wrote my site and big essay.
I could write hundreds of anecdotes like that, of pivotal moments in my journey, when I learned my lessons. But what is most important is what I learned, and how it can help manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Everything else happening on Earth today is noise, and Godzilla knows it. If more of us learn it, too, then maybe we can keep our eye on the ball.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I just finished tweaking the "visionary (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5)" chapter. Again, these changes are so small that few will notice, if anybody. It is just polishing, now. OK, Q&A time.
Q: Wade! Finally, you get around to the stuff that I really wanted to read. Did you really need a 500-page preamble?
A: In a word, yes, at least for the people that I think will be able to help FE manifest in the way that I am going about it. The visions in that chapter helped sustain me through some black times, but the best way to think of my essay is to see it as laying a foundation that will serve any FE effort well, and it certainly does not need to be mine. Again, way back in the 1980s, I saw that the people involved in FE efforts were there for self-serving reasons and almost all of them were scientifically illiterate, and few ever saw much further than saving on their energy bills or becoming rich and famous (a typical FE inventor affliction). Those kinds of people were effortlessly defeated by organized suppression, if they did not help collapse the effort from within before then. My effort cannot be built on people operating at those levels. We all have to raise our games.
As I look at that visionary chapter, I was aware of most of that potential in the 1980s, but not all of it. The end of race (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), for instance, I only comprehended as I performed the studies for writing that big essay. Also, for my readers, that "end of race" idea, which would certainly happen with FE, antigravity, and related technologies, as geographic isolation would come to an end for all people, would not be very comprehensible without the concepts that those earlier chapters impart. That visionary chapter brings together many of the concepts discussed earlier in the essay and makes them comprehensible. Otherwise, many of the ideas in that chapter will seem strange and people will not really understand them.
Also, that 500-page "preamble," as you call it, is a class in comprehensive thinking. I suppose that there could be other kinds of comprehensive classes, which would not cover the journey of life on Earth, but that "preamble" is vital for achieving the understandings that I am trying to impart in that essay and is reflected in its title: "where we have been; where we can go."
I have been writing about this subject matter for a quarter-century, hired an editor nearly 15 years ago, have written professionally, and think that I eventually learned to get out of my way, and I do not see any fluff in that essay. It is all in there for a purpose, and that purpose was intended to become very clear as the essay's final chapters were reached (and I also laid it out in the introduction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#summary3)). I do not expect that the people I seek will get through that essay in a week or a month, and I can see them skipping around at times, and I designed it to be an online textbook, so that readers can jump around, especially after the first reading, as they work on gaining the comprehensive vision that that essay is intended to help them achieve. I have been at it for 40 years, and I am always learning. The paradigm shift that I am hoping that my readers achieve is not going to come overnight, but will be a long, slow, integrative process. I am here to help them.
I have been told over the years, by people whose opinions I respect, that my style is easy to read. The subject matter in the essay is fascinating to me, and when I have interacted with world authorities on those subjects, they shared my fascination, and some even made careers out of trying to make those subjects comprehensible and fascinating for their audience. The feedback that they have given me is that I have succeeded in those aspects, and I do not feel that I am unnecessarily asking my readers to indulge me. Thinking about the Carboniferous Period can be fun, or the Devonian, or thinking about why fish had to make three attempts in order to permanently colonized land (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tournasian). Those are our ancestors, and if they had not finally succeeded, we would not be here. Every Western child thinks about dinosaurs, and it really was a fascinating experience to revisit those topics, and they are highly relevant to understanding today's world and how it works.
So, the "preamble" had an important purpose. Without it, that visionary chapter will not make a lot of sense. I have already encountered people who read that visionary chapter without reading the "preamble," and I could tell that they did not really understand. That vision needs to be embedded within a comprehensive understanding, to really "take root." A strong foundation needs to be built before we can advance to the next stage. People do not need money to do it, but just time and being willing to exercise their minds. It really should be fun.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I just finished tweaking the penultimate chapter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth), on whether we will have our Fifth Epochal Event or our Sixth Mass Extinction that may take humanity with it.
Q: Wade, you paint two stark alternatives for humanity, basically heaven or hell. Isn't there some middle ground?
A: Sure, there is some middle ground, but it is shrinking. I used to say that we could have a future in which George Bush the Eighth is president, and he wages war on Eastasia (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell). Recently, that "joke" became more serious when the frontrunners for the 2016 presidential race became Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904153&viewfull=1#post904153). It is mind-boggling, and shows how much like medieval Europe or imperial Rome the USA is, and that is what the "middle ground" looks like. A middle ground scenario may be a world going to windmills and China becomes the dominant power, and humanity somehow peacefully reduces its global population to under a billion people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity) and riding bicycles becomes the dominant mode of transportation. People are welcome to pursue it, but I am after something different.
That "heaven or hell" idea is not original with me, and that framework comes from Bucky Fuller's work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller). The middle ground keeps shrinking. In the end, the heaven or hell scenarios are based on energy. Humanity's energy practices have been causing the Sixth Mass Extinction for at least the last 50,000 years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth1), and that catastrophe is accelerating. Humanity is rapidly running out of the hydrocarbons that have powered the Industrial Revolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), and we may have already seen the beginning of World War III (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) over the dwindling oil supplies with the USA's invasion and occupation of the Middle East (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). We are in a kind of "race of the catastrophes" scenario, in which it may be a "choose your poison (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oilgenocide)" future. And, like Brian O stated, it is far from certain that humanity is really a sentient species today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). I think that we have arrived at the test of our sentience, we will either wake up and get over the hump, or slide down to the bottom of the hill, and arthropods will once again rule Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nature), as the Age of Mammals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammals) ends from self-inflicted wounds. The downside is evident and looming, even if almost all of humanity is in denial, as usual.
The technologies to make the upside feasible (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) are older than I am, but are being kept sequestered from public awareness and use by global elites, who have taken their evil games to surreal levels. My goal is to first make a tiny fraction of humanity aware of that technology and its potential, and it has not been easy, as virtually everybody on Earth is addicted to some kind of scarcity-based ideology that feeds them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and for those who try to look beyond the dominant herd ideologies, they get stuck in structuralism or conspiracism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), and both camps think like victims (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). We will not get there by thinking like victims, but have to begin thinking like creators, and that can only come from a healed heart. Almost nobody on Earth has begun to achieve such a creator-oriented perspective, but the point of my work is to help people begin to think that way, which has to begin with seeing the big picture and getting beyond the egocentric view that sees no further than immediate self-interest. But that is a subject for the essay's final chapter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worked).
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I just finished tweaking the final chapter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worked). Again, the changes are tiny. I did this more from a polishing perspective and getting another chance to make Q&As, to get people chewing on the ideas, and there are many of them. There are literally thousands of potential topics of discussion in that essay, and as it is about manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), that seems appropriate.
OK, here is the final Q&A for this process.
Q: Wade, I cannot think of an approach to making FE happen that you did not mention in that chapter, and you shoot down all the other approaches except yours. How confident are you in your assessment?
A: I don't "shoot down" the other approaches (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) without reason, and I state what would likely be necessary for the most auspicious of them to work. For instance, the hero's approach could work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1), if there were enough heroes. But there are not enough on this planet at this time (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany). Some approaches are outright suicidal, such as approaching the patent office, Pentagon, corporate America, and the like. Others have some promise, but again, do not have enough people with the right stuff for them to work. Again, I learned that the hard way (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), and anybody who I respect in the field also learned the same lesson, usually the hard way. Although we each create our own realities, I do not subscribe to the magical thinking that if I just wished that the world was filled with people with high integrity, that they would materialize. The people I seek are needles in haystacks on Earth, but I now have this tool called the Internet to help find them, or as Dennis said, sift through the mine tailings of humanity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings) and look for gold nuggets. But I am not looking for heroes.
I am not guaranteeing that my approach (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will work, either, but I never saw anybody try it. It has the virtue of being aligned with the intended outcome (a love and enlightenment path to heaven on Earth). If I can keep gung-ho newbies out of it and attract people who are somewhat worldly, it should be able to survive the organized suppression efforts that may be directed at it. My approach has the virtue of being relatively safe, but I also require some minimal standards of effort and courage (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/57-Terms-of-Membership), and reading my big essay and publicly "singing" in a way that shows me that the person is well on his/her way to truly understanding, is the minimum threshold. Not many will be willing or able to even achieve the minimum standard, and that is OK. I do not expect this to be easy or fast, and have budgeted the rest of my life's spare time to finding and training that choir. We will see how it goes.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have long written that I was a bookworm from the time I could walk (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), but I did not begin to "get" fiction until my father handed me The Hobbit when I was 14. I would not call myself a big Tolkien scholar, but have read quite a bit of analysis of his work over the years. Tolkien himself was a medievalist (he would dress up and recite Beowulf to his classes at Oxford), and his work is a big reason why almost all epic fantasy essentially is set within a medieval political-economy. It is a romanticized version of medieval life, when magic played a big part of how people saw the universe. The entire setting of The Shire is a kind of reaction to the industrialization of England, to try to reclaim a golden age that never was. That wistful look back to the pastoral ideal of The Shire was a huge part of the public's attraction to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
I vividly remember dragging my girlfriend to see the 1978 cartoon version of The Lord of the Rings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_%281978_film%29), and oh, how I tried to like that film, but it was hard. Being raised in the shadow of LA, I was a movie junkie in my early adulthood, and watched the first Star Wars movie something like nine times in the theater, and Raiders of the Lost Ark twelve times. I have quested for transcendent movie experiences ever since Star Wars, and have rarely been rewarded. I clearly recall being in a theater in 2000, and a preview came on for The Lord of the Rings, and I had no idea somebody was making the movie, but the trailer drove people like me to salivating. I have to say that the Jackson version of The Lord of the Rings was an experience for me. And when the DVD boxed set came out (of course, I now also own the blue ray version :) ), we had a little film festival at my wife's parents' house in the woods at Christmas that year, where a bunch of us watched them projected on a wall, kind of like being at the theater. I also spent my free time on that vacation watching all of the bonus materials.
That stated, I think that what almost everybody enjoyed the best about The Lord of the Rings were The Shire scenes, and certainly not the orc battles. And I have played the beginning scenes of The Fellowship of the Ring many times at home, but have watched the entire three movies in sequence only a few times. I have watched the entire Harry Potter series twice this year.
Today, I watched the last Tolkien movie that Jackson will ever do, and it was pretty much one big orc fight. Sigh. Oh, I will probably buy The Hobbit movies when they come out on blue ray, partly for the extended scenes that hopefully get more into what made Tolkien's work so beguiling.
Kind of ironically, I had already begun a "fictional" post for the forum before I went to see the movie, and maybe I will get it done tomorrow. It won't be Tolkien, but you will recognize why I am attracted to his work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, you pose the "sentient species" question about humanity in your essay a few times. What do you mean?
A: This is quite a topic. Other terms could be used. The Michael Material (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) uses "ensouled," but I heard Brian O ask the "sentient species" question in 2001 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience), and I guess that it kind of stuck with me. Einstein also used "sentience (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#sentience)," and I recently read a book (Henry Gee's The Accidental Species) that devoted an entire chapter to the "sentience" issue.
Brian and Einstein posed the question in kind of a tone of disgust (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#disgust), as they saw people refuse to use the brains that they had. Gee posed the question as one of if human so-called sentience was different than that of other animals, and his conclusion was that human "sentience" was not really so unique. His definition was that of self-awareness, or the "theory of mind," and he discussed the mirror test (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mirrortest) as the threshold, but noted that other animals, such as dogs, for instance, could probably pass a sniff test and we could not, so the mirror test was just another biased test of "intelligence."
I approach the term from what may be considered a slightly different perspective, but not all that different from how Einstein and Brian used it. Einstein called nationalism an infantile disease (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#einstein), and when he spoke of herd "logic," he referred to German nationalism and military marches (and that was before the rise of Hitler). He said that no brain power at all was needed to wave flags and march to war.
Brian posed the "sentient species" question while describing the crazed reactions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) to the idea of FE that he received from scientists and prominent academics while playing the Paul Revere of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere). In his next to last book, he posed the sentience question again when noting that humanity was inflicting the greatest mass extinction since the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction). Is that something that a sentient species would do? Many people wonder if cetaceans are sentient (Michael says that they are ensouled), and I have read that cetaceans are only beginning to wonder (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#sentience) if humans are sentient.
My approach in the context of my essay was to chart the path of encephalization (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#encephalization) and the rise of "intelligence," and note human "sentient" behaviors can be seen in animals that are currently not considered sentient, even though somewhat intelligent, such as macaques. The lowliest macaque will become patriotic cannon fodder (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1) if his society is under attack, as a miserable life is better than no life at all. All in-group ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) are no different in kind than what holds macaque societies together, and people such as Noam Chomsky have made careers out of showing the great irrationality and outright stupidity that attends "rational" defenses of one's in-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), especially by so-called "intellectuals." Steven Pinker noted that researchers have been able to create "in-groups" with a flip of a coin (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#manager), and those groups then demonstrated the typical in-group/out-group treatment. If that reflects sentience, then sentience does not mean much (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive).
Much of my work deconstructs those in-group ideologies that I was raised with (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm), which are based on scarcity and fear, and are egocentric. Watching people completely lose their minds when confronted with my work is no fun and I do not encourage it, which is one reason why I caution FE newbies from rushing out and trying to turn on their social circle to my work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). But when they lose their minds and engage in irrational tirades (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false), they are simply acting from the same programs that motivate those patriotic macaques. Many human behaviors are like that, and what I found that they have in common is that they are based in fear and survival. Research has shown that the neocortex shuts down when somebody is in fear (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fearresponse), so people literally lose their sentience when in fear. So, I call humanity a semi-sentient species, and that when they irrationally defend their in-group ideologies, for instance, or wave the flag, they have abdicated their sentience for security.
Jesus essentially said that there is no out-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy), and I take the position that when humans can see all life on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric), and even the entire universe, as their in-group, then humanity will have finally become a sentient species. That will mean that humans have adopted a soul-centric rather than an egocentric perspective, which seems to be the goal of ensouled species evolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael). But I also bring in the scientific perspective, and note that the human-sized brain is pretty new on the evolutionary scene (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain), and our species is still getting the hang of being sentient.
So, other terms could conceivably be used, but Brian and Einstein used "sentience," as have other scientists. It works for me, and my definition would probably be endorsed by Brian and Einstein. Of course, the human ego does not like to have its triumphant species called "semi-sentient," but that reaction demonstrates the very nature of our semi-sentience. The only response worthy of a truly sentient species is to demonstrate our sentience, and I would call Jesus a fully sentient human. Not many have walked on Earth, but if we turn the corner as a species, many more will. In this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), people have truly reached a sentient state, and in this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115), not so much, and those inhabitants are literally treated like a herd, and everybody readily complies and lines up to be milked, although none of them are sentient enough to realize it. Love is the answer and always has been.

Hi:
Going hiking soon, but briefly…
I am going to be pretty low-key in promoting my big essay and subsequent choir work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/forum1.htm), but I thought that I would provide a little summary of what I am privately getting back from readers.
Early on, world authorities on the subjects that I write about raved about it, and I usually was not even asking them to read it, and probably the world's greatest authority on my essay's first half informed me that it was one of the best efforts that he ever saw (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo). So far, scientists are the most avid readers of that essay, and last night, I heard from one who said that he is "haunted" by the essay. But it is not just scientists that I am hearing from, and last night I heard from my editor, who is decidedly not a scientist. Basically, anybody who really reads my essay is never going to see the world the same way again, and that is not always a good thing. People have actually been institutionalized after encountering my work, and I have seen many go off the deep end after reading only a few pages of my work, as they attempt to defend their in-group ideologies from the challenges that my work represents, as I noted in my previous post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913857&viewfull=1#post913857). Another reaction of denial is from people who are fringe enthusiasts of one stripe or another, whose "hobby" has its validity challenged by my essay. In a recent post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913066&viewfull=1#post913066), I note some areas that I have poked into and came away doubting their validity, and another area that I could add to that is the idea that advanced (AKA "Atlantean," "ET") technologies were used to build the megalithic architecture (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egyptold) of vanished civilizations.
So, extreme caution should be taken by people who dive into that big essay. I actually make the essay's themes very clear in the essay's introduction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#summary), so that readers have some idea of what they are getting into (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#summary). For better or worse, you will not see the world the same way when you finish that essay. There is something there to challenge anybody's worldview. In the end, for those whom I seek (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why), it should be far more inspiring than painful, but it is really not intended for the masses (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle).

That stated, I think that what almost everybody enjoyed the best about The Lord of the Rings were The Shire scenes, and certainly not the orc battles. And I have played the beginning scenes of The Fellowship of the Ring many times at home, but have watched the entire three movies in sequence only a few times. I have watched the entire Harry Potter series twice this year.
I know how you feel, though for me it was more so the wide panning shots of characters traveling through beautiful landscapes and exotic locales.

Hi Enishi:
That, too. As a mountain connoisseur (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm), the New Zealand scenery used in those movies was nothing short of breathtaking. If I had nothing but time and money, I would visit those locales. Like so many places on Earth, I wonder what it was like before people arrived, and what New Zealand was like only a thousand years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#newzealand) enthralls me.

Hi
It looks like my hiking plans are getting messed up for today, but it means more writing. :) As kind of an addendum to my post on reactions to my work (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913889&viewfull=1#post913889), there are some other reasons why I write instead of press the flesh, and so on.
I am in the autism spectrum, so I am not good at picking up on people's social cues (people in the autism spectrum are considered to have a sentience deficit :) ). When that one young man ended up in a rubber room soon after talking with me, I did not see that he was heading toward the edge, but my wife was not surprised. I also found that when I was with Dennis, almost everybody projected their motivation onto me and really had no idea what motivated me, including my mother (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=300436&viewfull=1#post300436). If my own parents had no idea what I was all about, and they raised me to be a Golden Boy, what chance is the public going to get by meeting me or listening to me and trying to decipher my body language and other "tricks" used by salesmen?
In fact, I saw how easily the psychopaths manipulated people by mimicking social cues and other tricks. The ones sicced on us were professionals, and I have to give them credit for being very good at what they did. That easy duping of the masses is why they cheered the thieves as they stole Dennis's company (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient1), or signed up with Mr. Texas while abandoning Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient3). Joe Average cannot distinguish the saints from the psychopaths, and as Jesus said, by their fruits you shall know them, and that has always been part of how I navigated those minefields.
So, I have done what the scholars with my highest respect did: just lay out the facts. Of course, we all have our ways of interpreting them, so the best at such things tried to take the scientist's approach and lay out all the facts on the table, and then winnow through them. When honest flag-waving Americans have tackled my American Empire essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm), for instance, I later heard from them that they expected to read a bunch of opinion, but what they instead got was a bunch of facts that they either never heard about or forgot, as they were minimized in their indoctrination process. A lot of the "best" propaganda works by lies of omission and emphasizing certain facts over others, as Uncle Howard observed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn). Of course there are also many lies of commission, and recent examples are the Iraq WMD pack of lies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), or the incubator story (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#incubator), and the like. While those lies were instrumental in murdering millions of people, those kinds of Big Lies only need to work for long enough to get the war going, and so on. Hitler understood (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#hitler), as did Napoleon (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#prelude). And as we have seen in the Middle East, the USA dusted off the "Iran is developing WMD" lies only a few years after invading Iraq, and I am not sure that I ever saw the USA's mainstream media express any skepticism over those claims. It was like the media would be lies to 99 times in a row, and each time they would eventually admit that they were being lied to, to only eagerly believe the hundredth lie. Eventually, you have to think that something other than terminal gullibility and stupidity is at work, and it likely is (http://www.counterpunch.org/2003/07/15/considering-the-obvious/).
I realize that many "facts" of my journey are not accessible by the masses, because they were not there, but I present as many documents as I can, while still protecting the identities of the innocent and the guilty (those names are all easily discovered with a little work). But my site has thousands of references, and my readers who want to test the validity of my work are wasting their time if they want to meet me to somehow get validation of my journey. I can never make them see what I saw, but they can do the work to see where I get more than 90% of the information presented on my site, kick it, and see if it moves. Only then will they begin to own the material and not be taking my word for it. Then they can begin to judge how credible my tales are (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures).
Again, the only people who are really going to begin to understand my work have had some kind of awakening experience (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800). Until they have, and make a conscious effort to escape the scarcity-based and egocentric conditioning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) that comes from all directions every day, they are not going to begin to understand. None of that is easy, as it mean swimming upstream against the flow of what the Great Herd is doing. It can also be very hazardous, and in these days they do not burn heretics at the stake (but the USA is great at torturing innocent people to death (http://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/12/15/torturing-killing-innocent-people-who-we-are) :( ), but I have experienced and witnessed the modern equivalent of it. Not fun, and I am trying to make my work a "No-martyr Zone." :)

Hi:
When I wrote Brian's NASA and Wikipedia biographies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro), that was an adventure, and I really hated doing battle at Wikipedia (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/wikimass.htm). Fortunately, I can live with Brian's Wikipedia bio as it stands today (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_O%27Leary). Any more changes and it will be a battle. Because of looking at where traffic originated to my site today, I re-entered the Heinz Haber fray (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Heinz_Haber). I have been pilloried at Wikipedia because of my exposure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Heinz_Haber) of Paul Bragg's credentials (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/bragg.htm), which is a far tamer exercise that taking on death camp Nazis. Of course, it all pales beside being stepped on by Godzilla.
On my work, the first link that I have seen to my big essay is here (http://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/2p45rc/its_time_to_ask_some_very_basic_questions_about/). Not much to write home about ( :) ), but I thought that I would credit the first public mention of my essay.

Hi:
I will not burden Wikipedia with what is in this post, but I have mentioned the toll that studying World War II took on me, and even my marriage, and I finally stopped drinking the year after I wrote the first draft of my war essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm).
What was sickening, whether studying the JFK assassination (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), or the Jewish Holocaust (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward), or the invasion of Iraq and its occupation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), or running a torture school at Fort Benning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#terrorism) and sending experts abroad to teach the craft (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mitrione), is how it all gets covered up and everybody involved, except for a few low-level grunts who take the fall for it all, gets off the hook with plausible deniability and the like. My understanding is that a lot of what Godzilla does is similarly motivated. Godzilla is not a materialist, but he thinks that he is clever enough to not have to bear his karma for his actions. That is the greatest folly of all (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#love).
Heinz Haber's (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=914055&viewfull=1#post914055) mentor Hubertus Strughold (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubertus_Strughold) ran the Research Institute for Aviation Medicine for the Luftwaffe, and all of those medical experiments were carried out under his authority. He played the plausible deniability game from the beginning of his employment for the USA, and began to carefully vet the papers written by his underlings to remove all traces of the human experiments that actually formed the basis for their scientific papers. Nearly the entire paper trail was destroyed by the USA and Strughold, although it recently came to light that even children were subjected to the same kinds of experiments (http://www.lucettelagnado.com/news/scientists-nazi-era-past-haunts-prestigious-space-prize) at Strughold's own institute that he ran. Those "disposable" children unexpectedly survived.
The emotional toll of even dealing with that kind of material is bad enough, but to encounter the denial by Haber's son and others is one of the more disheartening aspects of it all. At least Strughold is not going to be hoisted into the pantheon of space race heroes, although plenty of people still see him that way. I do not know if it is the case today, but in the 1990s, I believe, people could still go to Hitler's Eagle's Nest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kehlsteinhaus), and a woman handed out glossy brochures of the glory days of the Eagle's Nest and treated Hitler like a rock star.
I'll spend my time before bed recovering from dealing with those subjects.

Wade

Could I possibly talk about the domestic revolution and cats?
I have four cats all brought home by my kids...
That means that I provide for their care and logistics.
Within those duties was for food and water....I provided high quality food for all of my cats and they have far out lived their usefulness...
Should I kill them?
Send them to the pound under less ....lets say inhumane terms...
Of course they kill them and I don't know under the clause of probable deniability....
They were not my cats I just thought that they were...
What happens when....lets say there is an emergency in the family?
We had rodents possibly rats....
so I sent out my cats...who I have fed for years to get the enemy....
The female went to her post but the male just wandered around looking busy....
And I told that Tom Cat that he needs to buckle down and get that mouse..
He did get the mouse in the end and I saw the show...
He demanded his reward...and I gave it to him yet in his reward his situation still remained complicated...
That Tom needs that female for sure...
From her post that she manned did the mouse get flushed.... she flushed said mouse....my female Calico...of course the best hunters...and of course it was a team effort....and the Tom got his catch...yet he was over blown in the credit department as far as I am concerned...
thanx Wade...
and much luv

Hi Nine:
That documentary was the most popular documentary in Canadian history, and it never played on a mainstream American TV station that I know of, which demonstrates the movie's thesis pretty well. I saw it when it came out at Ohio State. Chomsky himself did not care for the movie that much (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent:_Noam_Chomsky_and_the_Media). It is the only time that I have seen footage of Uncle Ed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/links.htm#herman). Their book of the same title is well worth reading (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#manufacturing), and was an important part of my media education.
Cats and domestication. Good subject. My wife is a cat person, and we are currently cat-less, but probably not for long. When we have cats, I become their human. I would never have pets if I was on my own, but having pets is part of the price of having a wife. When we assume the position of caring for a domesticated animal, like having a child, it becomes our responsibility, and we will rack up karma for how we treat them. So, no, I would not get rid of the cats, but that is your call and your karma. You also own a piece of the karma for the domesticated animals that are killed for cat food. I have long told my wife that I would rather that she did not have carnivorous pets, but she wants her cats, and what my wife wants, she gets! :)
Domestication is quite a subject. Today, the evidence is that dogs were first domesticated more than 30 thousand years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dogs), and today's dogs were domesticated about 15 thousand years ago. Cats were domesticated less than 10,000 years ago in Africa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat). With both animals, a popular view today is that both of them may have domesticated themselves by hanging around humans as a way to get fed. Humans found that dogs and cats also served useful purposes, so they partnered together. As I have written, predators have long been more encephalized (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#encephalization) than their prey, as they had to outsmart them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dinosaurbrains). That relative intelligence I am sure is what made dogs and cats such good candidates for pets. One of our cats was highly evolved and very tuned in to what we were thinking (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#cats). She will be waiting for me when I pass over. I have attached a picture of me holding her when she was a kitten. I held her every day, and she followed me around all day and slept with me. When I wrote my site, she was my constant companion at my keyboard. She died in 2007 at the ripe old age of 17 and is missed.
Cats and dogs have to be socialized around humans and other members of their species when young, or they never will learn to get along. There is a pretty small window to do it, and if it is missed, it will be too late to repair afterward. Humans have similar developmental needs. In infant human has to be held, especially whenever he/she cries, until around age two, or he/she will never learn to trust people. Humans are similar for other traits, such as the ability to speak. There have been instances when people were raised in isolated settings and did not learn to talk in that "window," and they were never able to subsequently master speech. This again shows the combination of nature/nurture.
In this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), there are not pets, but humans and animals can choose to partner together. I somehow doubt that there are carnivorous cats in that reality.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: So Wade, how is building the choir going?
A: Slowly, but I expected that. The people that I am looking for (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800) are going be very rare, but they are going to be the people who do the work to become choir-capable. World-class scientists understand my work's importance, but with the general public, not so much, but that is also expected. I am truly looking for needles in haystacks, but I have budgeted the rest of my life's "spare time" to finding and training them. I like my chances of making a dent. I have been at this for 40 years, and plan for another 30 or so. If only scientists are going to be able to learn the song and sing it, my choir idea is going to have problems. I designed my work to be digested by non-scientists, with coaching from yours truly.
Also, there will be no anonymity in the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/57-Terms-of-Membership), and that has scared off most candidates that I have approached, and that is OK, as one heck of lot more courage than just being a real person on the Internet will be required before it is over, so that is a good barrier to prevent people from getting in too far over their heads to begin with. There are several "needle" requirements.
Q: That did not take much of your time. Can I ask another question?
A: Sure.
Q: I have looked into creationist challenges to evolution, and while they do not really challenge extinction much, they do challenge speciation. Have you looked into that? Are they onto something?
A: Yes, I have looked into it, and while I am no materialist, the creationist challenges to evolution do not hold up that I have seen, including their challenges to speciation. I will agree that LUCA (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca), which all life on Earth today appears to have descended from, was probably pretty far along the evolutionary path, such as hundreds of millions of years, as judged by its highly complex features, and who knows how it all began? I am in no way denying some kind of role of consciousness in the appearance and development of life, but it was not a man with a flowing beard who waved his hands and the universe was created, and then waved his hands again and humans appeared on the scene. While creationist tales are akin to believing in Santa Claus, the relationship between consciousness, energy, matter, and evolution is likely far too subtle to be profitably engaged by today's mainstream science, particularly with its materialistic assumptions.
Because life on Earth is billions of years old, and because speciation happens on a geologic timescale (a prominent estimate today is that speciation events happen over 15-20 thousand years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gould1)), there is not going to be a speciation event that happens in which camera crews from the TV station can arrive and film it. But camera crews cannot film the travels of the hot spot that created the Hawaiian Islands (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hawaii1) and that event is ongoing, although no geologist doubts its movement. Some standards of "proof" that creationists demand are nonsensical from the perspective of scientists, and so-called creationists are largely Biblical literalists who want to prove their sacred texts "right," but scientists investigating early Fertile Crescent civilizations find very little support for the literal truth of Bible stories (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales). I think that today's creationists are best seen as narrow-minded fundamentalists who cannot shake their early indoctrination. I really do not want to pick on them, as few people ever shake their early indoctrination (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and that includes scientists. Religious indoctrination is the first such kind of conditioning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing) and the oldest of extant dominant ideologies, so it is baked pretty deeply into our culture (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#limbic1) and we are still shaking it. Today's religions are inventions of professional priesthoods (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) and have little if anything to do with the teachings of spiritual masters. Religion is one of the earliest rackets, if not the earliest. Organized religion is one of seven cartels that control the world economy today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#rappoport), and a Christian sect (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mormon) was likely behind a lot of the organized suppression activity that I experienced during my FE adventures.
Because religious fundamentalists are off-base on their critiques of evolution does not mean that scientists have it all figured out either, and speciation is one area that is a frontier of science with many "there be dragons" areas on the sketchy maps that scientists have drawn. Gene duplication appears to be a key driver of speciation, but the process is again very slow, on the order of 100 million years for a gene to have a duplication event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#geneduplication) that survives in the genome. With those kinds of timeframes, witnessing a gene duplication event is unlikely. :)
So, I am definitely sympathetic to the idea that consciousness is likely a driver of the entire evolutionary process, as the entire universe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vonneumann) may well be a manifestation of consciousness, but the creationist denial of evolution is way off base, and that includes their attacks on speciation. Big subjects, and they are not going to have their beginnings and ends defined what some professional priesthood concocted long ago.

Wade

Hi:
As I stated yesterday (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=914055&viewfull=1#post914055), I found the first link that referred to my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) yesterday. This kind of link and reproduction of my work (http://sttpml.org/ralph-mcgehee-the-cia-and-deadly-deceits-2/) is far more common. I get a lot of indigenous sites that link to my work, as that link shows, usually the Columbus (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm) and American Empire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) essays, but I have also seen indigenous sites link to the history part (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more) of my "lies" essay. For December so far, my American Empire and Columbus essays are in first and second place as far as visitors go, and my big essay is actually running a close third at 1,300 visits.
One day, I hope, that big essay will get the most traffic, and we will see. It is already coming close.

Hi:
In that picture of me and my kitty (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=914132&viewfull=1#post914132), one of the pictures in the background is this one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/beaver.jpg), taken a couple of months after I met Dennis (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042), a couple of weeks before his company was stolen. Even in that picture, you can discern the cheap frame, and my wife banished that picture until I can get a better frame for it. In my lifetime, I do not expect to be in a more spectacular photo than that one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm). It was a truly incredible experience. Out of sight, to the left in that picture, about a mile away on my side of the lake, was the lookout that Jack Kerouac spent a summer at as a fire lookout (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kerouac#Style). I am standing at the top of a mountain that has no trail on it. It was a scramble to the top with my cousin, and was the first high country visit of that best hiking year of my lifetime. Oh, the things you can do in your 20s. :) I think back to some of the trips that I took that year and am in awe of what I could do then. A trip that took a weekend would take a week today, if I could even do it. The Cascades are a young man's place to explore. Fortunately, there are enough easy hikes so that an old codger can still get out and enjoy it, and I am well on my way to codger status. :)

Hi:
Before I go hiking, a few odds and ends, and a little sermon. :)
As I have been writing since early this year, another financial storm is coming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming), bigger than the last one (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#enron), as the world tries to drink itself sober. Lowering interest rates to zero and printing money with abandon only steals from one class to the benefit another, and you can guess who the primary beneficiaries are. :) It is never the world's poor. Along with energy debt is emerging market debt (http://www.theautomaticearth.com/the-biggest-economic-story-going-into-2015-is-not-oil/). Taken together, this quick math by Jim Rickards (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913041&viewfull=1#post913041) shows what we are looking at:
$9 trillion emerging market debt + $5.4 trillion energy debt = $14.4 trillion. A 20% mark-down (due to oil price and strong U.S. dollar) = $2.9 trillion losses = two times subprime losses in 2007.
So, we are looking at twice the size of the crisis in 2008-2009, and almost nothing has been done to try to reform the system, as the authors of the last crisis all got bailed out and are even bigger today. The fifth financial crisis/scandal of my lifetime (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913041&viewfull=1#post913041) is nearly here. Since oil was the epicenter of the first three, and in the fourth one, the USA was in the midst of committing an oil-control genocide in the Middle East (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), that oil is the Black Swan precipitating this one (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/financialized-oil12-14.html) is appropriate, and who knows what kind of fireworks will accompany this one, with the USA's prodigious bellicosity? I would not think that the USA will mount another full-scale invasion of other nations soon, but I could be wrong. We love our wars.
As I have stated for many years, if somebody did their homework, my pedigree and role in my adventures would be even larger than is presented on my site, and one day, I may be able to tell it all. But as I ponder the body of work that comprises my site today, I think those other revelations would only largely make it clearer why I think like I do. I will likely still reveal a lot more after some more people die (if I outlive them :) ), but with the completion of my big essay and the re-edit of my site to align it with my essay, I no longer feel that it would really be all that important, as far as getting across my message. And here comes the sermon. :)
When I was with Dennis, one of his statements regarding our efforts was that we were not asking the permission of TPTB to make our effort. Who put them in charge, and why should they really have any say? I still feel that way.
When I get Level 5 fears (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) from people, they can come in many guises, and one variation is to veil it in a "mother-may-I?" mentality," in which we are supposed to ask TPTB if FE is a good idea and could we please be allowed to do it. As I hope that I have made clear over the years here, virtually everybody on Earth is against the idea of FE, as bizarre as that may seem for FE newbies, because everybody quickly realizes, on one level or another, that the world will end as we know it. Never mind that this kind of world (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can come into view, they just have knee-jerk reactions of fear (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), mainly because they do not know where their place in that world might be, so they hunker down in their niche of hell and won't budge (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#heels). FE newbies usually need to get a snootful of those kinds of reactions as they chat up their social circles (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) with the "good news" before they begin to understand.
The bottom line is that the world's corporations, governments, and other institutions are dead set against FE happening, especially organizations such as environmentalists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists), as hard as that may be to believe. They have all heard of it, believe me, at least the people who are important, and they have all decided to do Godzilla's bidding, either consciously or by just trying to protect their turf. They all operate on the principles of fear and scarcity.
I had a series of preposterous adventures beginning with my mystical awakening at age 16 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#my), and I woke up the hard way during my FE pursuit. It was a series of events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#background) that I still look back on and sometimes wonder if they really happened, and I lived them. My closest allies had even more unbelievable journeys in ways (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and we all lost any belief that we had in coincidence, as even as I write this, almost daily I can tell that my "friends" are jerking my strings once again, and I admit to being a bit ambivalent. But humanity is pretty much in "FE or bust (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913416&viewfull=1#post913416)" territory today, and nobody on Earth has come close to trying what I am, and I think that it has a chance to make a dent. I cannot really tell you what that is like, to live with that every day. Part of me wishes that I could just check out and play the rest of my life away, but I need to do this. My nagging conscience will not let me do anything less.
What I also have tried to make clear is that without FE, not only is this world (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) not feasible in the slightest, but our doom looms ever larger. We may "achieve" a mass extinction not seen in at least 65 million years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth1), which might take humanity with it. There are no social or political solutions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics) to our predicament, and all of those failed approaches to FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) have been pursued by people stuck in the current paradigm, no matter if they glimpsed FE's potential. Bonobos could not make the political and social changes until their economy changed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1). "Civilized" people argued that slavery (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryusa) (of course, for others, not them) was "human nature" until energy-driven machines made that hallowed institution obsolete (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend). The fact is that humanity could not have industrialized without the energy liberated from burning fossil fuels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke). There was not enough wood in the world to do it. So, the social, political, and cognitive changes in the human journey have always been dependent on energy, and that will not change. However, for each previous Epochal Energy Event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), it was a relative handful who achieved the technical prowess and social organization to tap that source, and they did not ask anybody's permission; they just did it. It will be the same way this time, but this time, the effort has to be based in love (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). If that is not its primary motivation (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800), it will not work, not with the forces arrayed against it. So, do we get over the hump or don't we? It is up to us.
OK, end of sermon, and time to go hiking. :)

Wade

Hi:
Nice hike in the woods. Did not see a soul. As an addendum to my prior post, the group probably most opposed to FE making its appearance is the organized psychopathy that I call Godzilla, but he also has allies/underlings in high places.
When Dennis was flying high, he was able to make his plays. Dennis once told me that unless all of that "action" was happening, he did not have the "leverage" to make his plays. It works the same way for Godzilla and elites. Unless all of that energy could be concentrated in cities, there was nothing to skim (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#skim1) to become elites. Elites got their start by skimming markets (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear), and the same principle has been repeated ever since. Energy concentration creates the "action" that can be exploited. Steeply hierarchical economic, political, and social systems are based on concentrating scarce energy (that people flock to), and the opportunities then abound, particularly for psychopaths, as they can then exploit people for personal gain.
Governments and corporations operate on similar principles, and that is why psychopaths do well as politicians and corporate executives. They also have a very good idea of the game that they are playing, and Godzilla is the game's master, so they are going to be opposed to something that ends their game – energy for everybody, and no more concentrations to exploit people – more than anybody else, hence Godzilla's mischief in keeping the lid on FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), but the others do, too, and not because they are taking orders, but because they are playing the same game, but only at a lower level. Organized suppression is kind of a convergent feature (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#convergent) of our societies.
But I think that the healthiest attitude to hold toward them and what FE can mean is one of sympathy. It cannot be easy to live with the megalomaniacal dream of becoming the Emperor of the Universe, such is the folly of the dark path (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#love). Paths like Max's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell) are full of pain and agony. I can tell you from experience that being stepped on by Godzilla (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) is no fun, but I wish him no harm. In a world where love and abundance reigns, psychopaths will have a very hard time making their "plays." Their games and manipulations will not work if people live in abundance. The motivation for warfare disappears (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1). If they gave a war, nobody would come. Chimp societies are fundamentally psychopathic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#infanticide1) and genocidal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), but once their food supply doubled, bonobos (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1), led by females, changed their society and psychopaths no longer ruled. If bonobos could do it, I have confidence that humans can.

Hi:
I can see that my little piece of fiction is going to take a little while to do right, so expect it before Christmas, ho, ho, ho. :)
This weekend I am playing the holiday game, so will not have a great deal of writing time. Here is a choir Q&A. I often pick choir Q&As by just randomly picking a chapter and looking at the chapter summary. Again, there are thousands of potential topics in that essay.
Q: Wade, I know that Earth's reef systems are threatened today, and wondered if this was historically unique.
A: Reefs have come and gone in Earth's history. There is a reef guild (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reefguilds), stretching back to the Cambrian Explosion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ecosystem). Basically, warm, shallow seas along continental shelves are where reefs appear. Tropical reefs have always been Earth's most diverse ecosystems. Ever since the Ordovician (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ordovicianreefs), all reefs would have looked remarkably similar if we squinted, as they all had the same basic dynamics of some reef-building organisms taking advantage of the shallow waters (in which photosynthesis could occur, and the reefs themselves helped create conditions so that the waters could be oxygenated), and formed the structural basis of the reefs to then have an ecosystem grow up around them. Those food chains were always patrolled by apex predators, but the predators reflected the evolutionary times. The first reef apex predators were arthropods, to be supplanted by nautiloids, to be supplanted to armored fish, to be supplanted by ray-finned bony fish and sharks, to be supplanted by aquatic reptiles, to once again be dominated by sharks.
During Earth's hot periods, reefs could greatly proliferate, and the greatest reefs in Earth's history were in the Devonian, with several million square kilometers of reefs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#devonianreefs), or about ten times today's extent. Earth's moving continents and changing climate saw the expansion and decline of reefs. For instance, the first phase of the Devonian mass extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kellwasser) eradicated 99.98% of those greatest reefs in history, as an ice age began. That ice age lasted for 100 million years, and there were no reef systems during that ice age (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#karoo2). Reefs began to make a comeback in the Permian (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianreefs), but were taken out in the greatest mass extinction ever (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction). After the Permian extinction, reefs were then made by stony corals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonycoral). But even stony corals could decline, and during the Cretaceous, a form of bivalve began displacing coral reefs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousreefs). The asteroid that took out the dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction) also took out those bivalves, and stony corals again made their comeback.
A few dynamics led to the rise and fall of reefs. One was rising and falling oceans. During ice ages, the oceans fell and the continental shelves were exposed, which was the primary home of reefs. Because reefs cannot move, they were always sitting ducks to whatever changes happened. A rising ocean could "bury" reefs under deeper water, and they would lose photosynthesis and oxygen from the surface. Cooling oceans also spelled doom for reefs. Also, in Greenhouse Earth conditions, a form of calcium carbonate known as calcite is what shellfish made their shells from. In colder seas, they made it from aragonite (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aragonite), which is not as stable as calcite. Today, in our ice age seas, shellfish make aragonite, but the warming and acidifying oceans, from burning fossil fuels, is making it so that those animals cannot form their shells. Many of them form key links in oceanic food chains, and the entire oceanic food chain is threatened by current trends. If humanity artificially induces a Greenhouse Earth in the next century or two, all of Earth's reef systems will likely die off. There are actually several possible outcomes to creating Greenhouse Earth conditions. One is anoxic oceans (which also kill of reefs) that induce hydrogen sulfide events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sulfideevent). Already, reefs are dying from "coral bleaching," which is because of rising ocean temperatures. So, higher temperatures, acidification, hydrogen sulfide, and anoxia all threaten reefs, and with current trends, scientists are not optimistic about reef survival, even leaving aside the direct damage that humans inflict from overfishing and the like. The white abalone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haliotis_sorenseni) is virtually extinct along the California coast where I grew up. The soap dish in my bathroom is made from a white abalone shell that my parents acquired when I was a child. Today, that soap dish is a relic from an era that vanished in my lifetime.
So, from a long view of Earth's history, humanity's wiping out all of Earth's reefs certainly has precedents, although no life form ever received "credit" for wiping out all of Earth's reefs. If humans "achieve" that feat, it will "only" take tens of millions of years or longer for reefs to recover. Wiping out the reefs is only one of several aspects of the Sixth Mass Extinction that humans have begun (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth1). Understandably, scientists are terrified by what humanity is inflicting on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and the mass extinction that humanity has already put in motion might take humanity with it, and may end the reign of mammals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammals), and arthropods will once again become the dominant animals.
In a long view, a dispassionate scientist might be fascinated to consider the dynamics of an animal-caused mass extinction. They have happened before, such as when the Americas joined (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pliocene), but for an animal to cause a global extinction on land and the oceans would be a unique distinction that humanity could "achieve" as our merit badge, as we leave our mark. Of course, no human scientists would be around to study such a mass extinction and recovery, but arthropod scientists might study the event a couple hundred million years from now and marvel, and wonder if a seemingly sentient species could really do something like that.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Recent correspondence and events have had me revisit some controversies, on the fringes and in the mainstream. The first is on the megafauna extinctions. Anybody who argues against human agency in the megafauna extinctions has a conflict of interest, as they essentially are defending the in-group known as their species. That stated, the megafauna extinctions are like a murder mystery, and what I found that all hypotheses that absolve humans ignore their motivation to kill off the megafauna. Humans have always gone after the easy energy, first, in a pattern that continues to today's oil industry (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroi1). The total energy availability and high EROI of big animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi) dwarfed everything else that humans could have encountered. Humans had the means, motive, and opportunity to kill off the megafauna, and there is no reason to believe that they would have stopped killing them until they were gone. The climate change and other explanations just don’t hold water (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2), as far as I have seen.
On the "natives" of the Western Hemisphere, the evidence overwhelmingly supports the idea that humans arrived via Beringia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beringia) within the past 16,000 years, and may have come in a few waves of migration, and in North America, a stone tool style called Clovis abruptly appeared and coincided with the megafauna extinctions, and when the megafauna disappeared, so did the Clovis tools (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clovis_culture#Disappearance_of_Clovis). The controversy seems largely politically motivated, as it does for the other extinctions such as Australia (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), South America (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#clovis), Europe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gravettian), and Asia. The megafauna in Africa did just fine, to go extinct in Northern Africa concurrent with the rise of Mediterranean civilizations, especially those of the Nile valley (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nilefauna) and Rome (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gladiators). So, we have well-documented megafauna extinctions in early history, of the few animals that learned to fear humans and avoid them, to only go extinct when rising civilizations gave them nowhere to hide. It is kind of amazing to witness the continuing vociferous debates over the megafauna extinctions, although I have yet to see a disinterested scientist look into the issue and come away not thinking that it was primarily, if not exclusively, humans that were responsible.
I recently made post on controversies that I have looked into (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913066&viewfull=1#post913066), and I should add to that list many of the "ancient mariner" and pre-Columbian contacts from Earth's people to the Western Hemisphere. The evidence is very strong that humans came to the Western Hemisphere (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#americanmigration) via Siberia and the land bridge at Beringia, and when the land bridge disappeared, the Western Hemisphere's humans were largely isolated from the rest of the world until 1492. That does not mean that Vikings did not stumble into it and try to colonize it (and failed, as the Indians drove off those murderous invaders), or that stranded Japanese fishermen did not land on the coast of the Pacific Northwest and provide a steady supply of slaves for the natives, and some other sporadic visits and contacts, but none of them were very influential on the Western Hemisphere's cultures. Those peoples largely remained in their Stone Age until 1492, and most died off within a century of "discovery." North America's natives were largely spared until a century later, because North America did not have large sedentary populations to enslave and they had no gold and silver, but when it was invaded by Europeans, and particularly the English and their American descendants, they just wanted the land, and the peoples of North America were then eradicated (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english).
I have looked into those situations for many years, and it sure seems like the only reason that those controversies continue is the human ego and people trying to defect responsibility for the events from their in-group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup). And academics and scholars can be the worst offenders (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn). And there is no end to pseudo-scholars who crank out endless books for the enthusiast crowd on "alternative" scenarios, but that do not withstand even cursory scrutiny. There is a mountain of chaff out there, and much of it, even if it was valid, is pretty meaningless as far as the challenges that humanity currently faces (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). Almost all of that stuff is meaningless distraction, and that includes challenges to the idea of human-induced climate change (it is happening – you can take that to the bank), or that there is somehow all of this unlimited oil in the ground that can fuel industrial civilization forever, and so on. Those are all just egocentric games of denial of responsibility for our actions and a refusal to face reality, and there are entire cottage industries that cater to them, and even the world's largest and most powerful industries get involved (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sold).
I am not really interest in those games of denial and obfuscation. It is time to help humanity turn the corner, because we might not make it, and if we turn the corner, this kind of world can await us (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Anybody interested? My life's work has been devoted to helping it happen, and I am not done yet. :)

Hi:
OK, another choir Q&A, before I go hiking…
Q: Wade, all of those paths to FE that you shoot down, do you know that they will not work, or is there some guesswork involved?
A: That is a long story, far longer than I have time to tell, and a lot of it is told in my public writings, and I'll refer to them in my response, although in that section where I "shoot them down (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches)" I already link to where I discuss those approaches. This response will largely provide a little more color and the process of my learning about why those paths have not worked and are unlikely to. First of all, the main reason why they have not worked and are unlikely to is the lack of integrity in the world, among the aspirants, their "allies" and supporters, those involved in organized suppression, and an oblivious public that does not know and does not care. That was the most important lesson of my journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), but there were also many practical lessons, too. I guess that after I had bitter experience of how those approaches did not work, I later thought about why those approaches did not work, and was able to generalize those experiences into a framework that also helped lead to my current approach. I do not know if my approach (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will work, and if it does not, it will still be about the level of personal integrity in the world, but I like my odds of finding more people at a lower integrity requirement than I do finding relatively few saints/heroes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany) to get it done.
I started out thinking that the inventor's path to FE had promise, only if the inventors had enough supporters. In that way, I was misled by my first professional mentor (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). All of his inventions were either stolen or suppressed. In some ways, it could still work, but not like any effort has ever tried. I have long stated that the only way that the inventor's path could work is for the inventor with the goods to give it to a worthy group. It is still pretty much the approach that I advocate, but I never heard of the inventor with the goods willing to give it away, and that worthy group has never existed before. My "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)" efforts can be seen as trying to form that worthy group.
When I bowled over the man who would become my boss (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#call), I was all about those heroic inventors and entrepreneurs. Three months later, that man helped engineer the theft of Dennis's company (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042), and I watched the employees cheer the thieves. It was my first big awakening moment (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient1). During those days, I befriended the inventor whom Dennis heavily promoted in Seattle, and Dennis getting his company stolen put Mr. Inventor (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#inventor) into the rocking chair. It was a devastating blow for him, and I was highly sympathetic, but when I saw him take out his frustration on Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#extortion), he was attacking his only ally in the world. Ironically, it was Mr. Inventor who first told me that inventors only wanted to get rich and famous (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#alpha), not really help each other or the world. Mr. Inventor's behavior was the first evidence that I saw of what he was talking about.
The bottom line of the inventor's path to FE is that the perils and temptations are too great for those self-serving inventors to navigate. It does not take long before the economic magnitude of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion) begins to dawn on them, and few have what it takes to not be seduced by it. More than one begins thinking that he is the Second Coming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and so on. But even the more "innocuous" aspects of the inventor's approach do not work, such as applying for a patent (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent), playing the proprietary technology game (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary), and the like. Not only do those approaches signal that the inventor is in it for the money, hoping for his piece of quadrillions of dollars, but it also alerts the organized suppression that another aspirant has appeared who is self-seeking. Applying for a patent is just like waltzing into the dragon's lair. If the inventor is "lucky," he will just have his invention seized (and he is almost never compensated in the least for that seizure, as he gets a taste of how the legal system really operates). I am not sure exactly what the decision-making is at the global organized suppression level, but sometimes the patent is granted and the invention seized, other times the patent is stonewalled with "laws of physics" and similar prohibitions to issuing a patent, and the really "lucky" inventors get the Golden Handcuffs of being bought out, sometimes accompanied with threats if he proves recalcitrant, and when all else fails, it can get violent, and many FE inventors met untimely ends (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). I do not claim any intimate knowledge of how it works on the inside, but I heard Tom Bearden once talk about it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden), and I realized that I had actually been involved in operations that experienced the entire range of bag of tricks that he discussed. The tale that he told of nearly being trapped in a sting operation was nearly identical to what I experienced the year before, but it was another decade before I realized it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting). Godzilla can play an exceedingly subtle and sophisticated game.
I also experienced wrinkles that Tom had not, such as being smeared on national TV numerous times, with "skeptics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)" being prominently featured in the effort, and so on. The billion dollar offer to go away (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) was also likely outside of what Tom was familiar with. The attempts to have Dennis killed in the prison (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes) that he was kangarooed into was also outside of Tom's experience. Nobody has ever played at Dennis's level for as long, so unique perspectives came from his path, and I not only had a front row seat for much of it, I was on the hot seat for a lot of it. I was an owner of the operation in Boston (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing) and Ventura (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and there is no faster learning path than being on the hot seat. I really do my best to not pay attention to the latest FE aspirant of the hour, but people bombard me with the information, and when I hear them talk about their operations, announce that they are the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and so forth, I have very intimate knowledge of what they are facing, and I know that they do not have a prayer, even if they were able to overcome their internal weaknesses. I am not sure whether to laugh or cry when I hear them talk. But newbies and armchair enthusiasts lap it up.
When I met Dennis, he was taking the straight businessman's approach, and he had just finished the greatest attempt ever made (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) to bring alternative energy to the American marketplace. I know of no greater attempt in world history. I studied his prior efforts and learned from the master, lived through our attempts in Boston and Ventura, and later watched Dennis try the Christian approach, the "Patriot (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel)" approach, the non-profit approach, the volunteer approach, and so on. I carried his bags as he approached corporate America and the federal government (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull), and as they approached (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872) him. Years later, I helped carry Brian O's bags as we banged on some of the same doors (http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html). I watched billionaires come and go, I helped Dennis and Brian launch mass movement efforts (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), ah, it would take me weeks to discuss all of those approaches and what I learned. In the end, what they all really were were attempts to find the people who cared and who were not already bought and paid for by the agents of organized suppression. In the end, they never found those people, at least not enough to make a dent with their approach.
In Boston, Dennis said that people really cared, but had nothing worth caring about, and in my naïveté, I believed him. A decade later, Dennis admitted to me that almost nobody really cared, but that he was sifting through the mine tailings of humanity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings), looking for gold nuggets. To this day, he has only found a handful. Also, to this day, almost all FE newbies deny the reality of those hard lessons and think that they have the magic answer that nobody ever thought of before, and the first thing that they do is rush out to tell their social circles (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) the "good news." If they are lucky, they will not be ostracized. I have watched family relationships get wrecked and friendships and careers end when FE newbies did that, and my words of caution were almost always ignored. That has not been easy to witness.
So, as I lived through those kinds of attempts, traded notes with fellow travelers who survived their adventures, and heard of and read of others, and watched them all go down in flames, I developed not only the framework for what I am attempting today, but I have also written about those many paths of failure. Maybe one of them will work, but I highly doubt it. I know that Godzilla's organization is fractured (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal), and the outcome of that battle may be that FE technology will be allowed to come forward, and if they do that, somebody like Greer or Dennis will be chosen as the white knight on a steed who brings it forward, and they will be allowed to succeed, and even surreptitiously helped. But only those who have played at the high levels will be a candidate for such treatment, IMO. The bottom line is that unless you have already survived at least one murder attempt, you will not be a candidate. That is a game that I have no desire to play, and I am trying something different.
Time to go hiking.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
A little note on current events. I am not the only person (http://armstrongeconomics.com/2014/12/21/will-the-hang-bankers-again-on-wall-street/) suggesting that lynch mobs may well descend on Wall Street (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913041&viewfull=1#post913041) before it is over. They have gone way over the line.
The shale oil play could well be the Black Swan that triggers the next collapse (http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/financialized-oil12-14.html). Oil country is shaking in its boots and ten gallon hats (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-21/houston-you-have-problem-texas-headed-recession-due-oil-crash-jpm-warns). If it was just going after the dregs of low-EROI hydrocarbons (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands), that would be one thing, but it became a huge capitalist play fueled by all of the free money (http://www.theautomaticearth.com/drilling-our-way-into-oblivion/) that the Federal Reserve was printing and dumping from helicopters onto Wall Street, where it then chased the marginal borrowers, which in this case were the shale oil and related energy operations, and emerging market economies. This is going to be the fifth such crisis/scandal in my lifetime (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=914255&viewfull=1#post914255), and this one might bring out the lynch mobs. Possible disasters in 2015 loom largely (http://www.peakprosperity.com/blog/89842/2014-year-review-part-2) (that reviewer also suggested that bankers could by lynched (but in those instances, by their own) with this coming crisis).
Of course, with FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), it all goes away almost overnight…
Ho, ho, ho,
Wade
P.S. As I look at links to my site, I saw this one for the first time (http://renovablessinlimites.blogspot.com.es/2011_02_01_archive.html), in Spanish, actually covered Dennis's heat pump a little. As the article said, there was no place else to "corroborate" my account. So, my page is the only place on the Internet to give any fair account of the greatest heating system that has ever been on the world market. How crazy is that?

Hi:
Choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, your "choir" approach seems pretty idiosyncratic. How did you come up with it, and do you really think that is has a chance to help make FE happen?
A: I know it will help. How much it will help is an open question for me. It could be the critical missing piece, or it just might be a little extra something to help FE manifest and assist with its enlightened implementation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping). I certainly do not see my efforts as a waste of time, even though it has devoured my life and many lives were wrecked during my journey. Even if it does seem a waste of time, deluded attempts directed toward helping the biggest event in the human journey manifest is probably not a bad way to spend one's time. I can think of much bigger wastes of one's life. However, I feel that my attempt is not due to some delusive state, but is the result of what I learned on my journey. I have written quite a bit about my approach and how I came to it, but maybe this summary will make it clearer.
There is no way to really understand my approach without understanding my journey and those of my fellow travelers. I have written about them plenty in my work, and they were so much larger than life (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) that hardly anybody from the general public can begin to believe that they really happened, much less understand the lessons that we learned from them. All I can say is that when you walk those paths, the unbelievable and preposterous become regular companions, and it can be a challenge to not get distracted and strung out by that environment. FE aspirants regularly begin to believe that they are the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) and the like, and few have proven themselves very immune from the perils and temptations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls) that accompany the FE journey.
But, I found that if we kept our eyes on the goal, which was why we got involved in the first place, then all of those perils and temptations became noise that we could shut out.
As I have written, none of my close fellow travelers began our journeys thinking in terms of FE. We all got involved as a result of the USA's first energy crisis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#journeys), which ended the greatest era of prosperity in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), but our initial orientation was just saving energy and squeezing a little more energy from fossil fuels, although Brian O'Leary did think in terms of traditional alternative energy like windmills and direct solar (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brian1), until he realized that those "solutions" were way too little and too late to resolve the problems that we face.
My initial orientation was squeezing more energy from a gallon of gasoline (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), and Dennis's was just saving energy for heating, initially through low-flow shower heads to foam insulation to eventually stumbling into the world's best heating system (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), which he was instrumental in developing. When he made the greatest run at bringing alternative energy to the marketplace in world history (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run), using the most ingenious marketing program that I ever saw (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), he was not thinking in terms of FE. FE was just something that we all stumbled into as we pursued our paths. I would be remiss if I failed to mention that my fellow travelers were all overgrown Boy Scouts (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), and most of us had a mystical awakening (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#journeys) early in our journeys, which not only helped lead us onto our paths, but also kept us on the paths. It helped us not succumb to the perils and temptations that derailed so many others.
It was only as we kept pursuing our goals that we became aware of the idea of FE, to later learn that FE technology is likely older than I am (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and that an effort of global magnitude not only prevents any independent development of such technologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), but also keeps what has been developed sequestered from public awareness and use. If you had told any of us what we were in for as we began our journeys, we would not have believed you, and Brian said that if he knew what he was in for, he would never have begun his journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sherry), and I am keenly sympathetic to that point of view. We all relinquished relatively easy paths to wealth to take our journeys, but in the end, none of us have any regrets, even though we would not wish our paths on anybody else.
Fairly early on, Dennis and Brian, largely because of their nationalistic indoctrination and overgrown Boy Scout qualities, decided that mass action, the kind that Brian was involved with in his Capitol Hill days (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall), or the kinds of nationalist-, capitalist- and religious-based efforts that Dennis encountered (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), stood a chance of making FE happen. I carried their spears for their biggest attempts (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and they were life-wrecking ventures. I was young enough to survive my adventures, while those older ones around me often did not (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey).
Riding in the saddle with Dennis for several years was the education of ten lifetimes, and I decided that I could not afford to do it anymore and began to understand that such approaches were doomed to failure. Brian's spears were far lighter to carry, but as I carried those spears and mopped up the blood as we were repeatedly slaughtered, I learned many lessons that have informed the approach that I am taking with my "choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)" idea. Almost all of us also had genius-level IQs, but I found that those overgrown Boy Scout qualities were far more important than "intelligence." (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#heart)
Most importantly, I learned that personal integrity was the world's scarcest commodity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn). I resisted that lesson all the way, until I had it beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. FE newcomers almost invariably deny that most important lesson, and they rush out to tell their social circles the "good news" about FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), think about mounting some kind of mass movement (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and the like. They are like 18-year-old boys pining to prove their manhood on the battlefield (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), and actually pose the greatest threat to my efforts, not what the Global Controllers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc) do.
So, the deficiencies that I saw in all FE efforts were a lack of integrity far above any other defect, in the aspirants, their supporters, the evil-mindedness that motivated the Global Controllers, and an oblivious and apathetic public whose horizons of awareness rarely extended beyond their immediate self-interest.
When the dust settled on the snuff job that we experienced in my home town (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes), I realized that ten like Dennis or a hundred like Brian and Mr. Professor (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and manifesting FE in the public sphere would be easily accomplished, but ten like Dennis I doubt exist on the planet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), and people like Brian and Mr. Professor were exceedingly rare.
I also noticed that almost everybody involved in those mass movement efforts were scientifically illiterate and really did not understand the energy issue other than the idea that FE would eliminate their energy bills or that they could become rich and famous by participating in an FE effort. I found that such people were easily distracted and more harm than help for FE efforts in the current environment. The self-seeking are easily manipulated by the bag of tricks that the organized suppressors have developed, and it is mistake to think that organized suppression only happens via the Global Controllers (AKA Godzilla). During my journey with Dennis, we encountered organized suppression activity from the local, state, national, and international levels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), and not all of it originated from the global level. Dennis really only attracted global "interest" after he survived the more local snuff jobs. Every presidential administration since Reagan knew of Dennis, with most of those American presidents knowing Dennis by name (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#yull), but we discovered that sitting American presidents are a ways down the global food chain (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents).
I cannot ever really get across what kind of learning experience it was to go through those kinds of meat grinders, and the biggest surprise of my journey was not the organized suppression, but how my friends and family betrayed and attacked me while the night was the darkest. You could not have convinced me of that before I began my journey at age 16 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913180&viewfull=1#post913180), but by the time I was 30, it had been beaten into my head. The enemy is us, not organized suppression.
I wrestled with my delusions for many years, and eventually put aside the many fairy tales of my indoctrination (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm). But, ironically, my biggest delusion, which I wrestled with for several years during my midlife crisis, was that my life's work was an exercise in futility (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife). As crazy as it all seemed, I know that we made a dent, and that the Global Controllers had some interesting days in the office and sleepless nights wondering what to do about us. But that is not enough for any of us who kept them up at night. I cannot let our learning all go to waste as another titillating fringe tale. We all were driven by our visions of what could be. The vision that I impart in my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is like nothing else on Earth, as told to me by people who have scoured Earth looking for inspiring visions. I have been developing it since I was 16, but it was really my years with Dennis, on the high road in pursuit of FE, when it really began to coalesce. People familiar with my writings of more than a decade ago will see some new wrinkles in my recent vision, which came from the study I performed in order to write that big essay. I will not do anything like it again in my lifetime, and it turned out close to how I envisioned it, so I am not being gnawed at by frustration today as I once was, even though I am fully aware of how quickly humanity is heading toward the abyss today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).
So, when all is said and done, my current approach is oriented around:
Helping people achieve comprehensive understandings, because when they do, they will understand the role of energy in the journey of life on Earth and the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents);
Helping people understand the Epochal significance of tapping new sources of energy, which began with our ancestors leaving the trees (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit), learning to walk upright (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedskull), continued with the development of stone tools (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1) and especially the control of fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), continued though the appearance of Homo sapiens on the evolutionary scene (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sapiens) and the increasing mental sophistication that allowed for the human mastery of language (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#language1) and advanced toolset that allowed behaviorally modern humans to conquer Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit), through the domestication of plants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran) and animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goat), to tapping the energy of fossil fuels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke);
Getting my audience to understand that not only is humanity on the brink of the abyss (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), but we are also on the cusp of tapping a new energy source (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), which will dwarf all previous energy sources, but also that the masses will only wake up to that reality if FE is delivered into their lives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli); only then can the new Epoch arrive (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5); it does no good to judge the masses in their ignorance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1);
Getting my audience to understand that only an approach aligned with the goal will work, as the means become the ends (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist); my approach could be called the love and enlightenment approach, which has never really been tried before for manifesting that biggest Epochal Event of all.
I do not kid myself that the people who can help that strategy come to fruition are on every street corner. Through my 40-year journey, I came to understand that such people are less than one-in-a-thousand in the general population, but it sure beats the one-in-a-billion that Dennis is. I am looking for needles in haystacks (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800), but I have a new technology called the Internet to help me find them and they find me. I am devoting the rest of my life's "spare" time to finding and training those people, and my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) is the textbook. I know it will help, and if I can prevent the foibles from manifesting that have doomed so many other efforts (gung-ho newcomers, groupies and hero-worshippers, YouTube mentalities (which the psychopaths easily manipulate), etc.), it should not hurt.
I might write some more about this, but I really think that my approach and how I came to it are pretty clear in my writings.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Today and tomorrow are chore days, but I will make some posts, as well as plunk along on my fictional visionary post. In my previous post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=915241&viewfull=1#post915241), I have outlined my approach and how I came to it, and I have provided some details over the years. I will make a post or two to present some (hopefully new) anecdotes (or previously undisclosed aspects of them), and FE newcomers may be able to able to recognize events in their own lives, or events they would like to avoid ( :) ), as they begin to study my FE textbook.
When that ex-girlfriend began attacking me (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=578559&viewfull=1#post578559), I almost had nothing like it in my life as a reference point, and it tore me up. Little did I know that it was a gentle preview of what my next couple of years would be like. I now realize that there was simply nothing that I could have said to her to change her mind, and her essential extortion of money from me I am sure that she sees to this day as getting the better of that crook Wade. I found that rationality, evidence, and the like does not matter to people whose minds are made up, and that extends far past interpersonal agonies like that, but when people are fed the fairy tales of organized religion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales), nationalism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#weems) and imperial ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ww2), capitalism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), and those other dominant ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), very few people are willing or capable of relinquishing those fairy tales. It is like such people grow old and never stop leaving out the milk and cookies for Santa Claus.
When I began to dive into the alternative media after I staggered out of my home town in 1990 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), radicalized, my staunchest friend during the Ventura nightmare soon began to challenge my radicalized and expanding worldview (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=249110&viewfull=1#post249110) every time we talked, and his punchline was always coming up with a rationale for violence. It became wearying to continually hear him advocate violence, and they were not even clever arguments, but more along the line of cowboy movie fantasies. When he called me up to cheer the bombing of Yugoslavia (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#friends), that was the last straw for me, but he ended the friendship (after abusing it in the previous months to kind of extort money from me, which I did not have, but had to borrow to give him), and continued to attack me until just a few years ago, and one of the attacks was a criminal offense (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694648&viewfull=1#post694648). I had to finally threaten to publish the evidence of his criminality to get him to back off. I found that cowards advocate violence (such as the chickenhawks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickenhawk_%28politics%29) in the Bush regime (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Chickenhawk) (and here (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Chickenhawk)) and their right-wing mouthpieces at Fox News, etc.), especially like my friend did, and becoming "famous" by exposure of their crimes can be enough to back them off.
It is a long story, but when I raised the money to become Dennis's partner, I gave away 10% of my shares to friends and family who did not invest, and that led to my being approached by more people who wanted to "get in," and when I gave shares to that friend, his parents called me a month later, to get in on it. They became part of my second wave of investors, who all came in because of those shares that I gave away. When my mother took that scrapbook of those newspaper clippings around on her "my son the criminal tour (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=300436&viewfull=1#post300436)," that friend called me to tell me that my mother had just left their house on her tour. I actually repaid people's investments in my company after they betrayed me, and paid off some other friends who asked for their money back (Dennis made the offer when my ex-girlfriend kept attacking me, so that my guarantee of their investment was good only then, and they could get either double their money back or relinquish half of their shares for all of their money back (and one took me up on that, and Mr. Professor was eager to buy out any of my investors)), but I wanted to pay off my friend's parents anyway, as they were retirees. After my friend ended the friendship, I informed his parents that the money that my friend owed me should just be paid to them, to make them whole on their investment with me. It was after that that that ex-friend began his campaign against me, as bizarre as that may seem. He recognized how magnanimous my gesture was, but his ego got the best of him, and he had to keep attacking the person whose worldview was so starkly different than his whom he had treated shabbily and even criminally. For people with that sickness of mind and spirit, there is nothing that their target can do to heal their sickness, other than forgive them, move on, and not give them any more opportunity to inflict any more damage, onto the target or the attackers.
I'll give one more example of the hazards of trying to interest your social circle in my work. I met my editor in a Velikovsky forum in 1998. I had already been poking into the Velikovskian corpus for a few years by then and was friendly with quite a few of the controversy's participants. When I joined the forum and gave a few posts on my background, including Mr. Mentor's engine (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) (with patent numbers, etc.), an engineer in the forum immediately attacked me, dismissing the engine and my experiences as some kind of fantasy. As I recall, it might have been the first online forum that I joined, and it gave me a preview of what forums were like. ( :) ), but not everybody was so boorish, and I got some enduring relationships out of the experience, including meeting my editor.
My early public writings were pretty amateurish compared to today, in style, not content so much, although I know how to play that game far better today than I did in the 1990s. By 1999, several essays on my site today had their first version published, including my "lies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm)," fluoride (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm), Columbus (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm), and introductory (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm) essays. My editor, before she became my editor, tried to turn some of her "hip" friends onto my work, and some she had known for many years. One was pretty high-ranking at a high tech company, and he began to write to me. He began pretty cordially, but soon began to go off the deep end. In fact, some of his observations made it into my "critics" essay as examples of poor logic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false). He blew a gasket over this section of my introductory essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress), and was soon launching into tirades against my work, and he soon found an ally in another "hip" friend whom my editor tried to turn onto my work. That guy went far further off the deep end and even began to make death threats to my editor. Her friendship ended with that first assailant over my work, and that other one had actually threatened her life, and those were her "hip" friends. Another pal of hers actually taught high school history, and he too went off the deep end, and again his irrationalities were the most telling aspect of his assaults. My medical racket essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm) became a "conspiracy theory" in his eyes, when a reading of the essay actually shows that it is nearly the opposite. As I recall, her relationship with him was wrecked, too, over my work. And that all happened before 9/11, when the entire USA went off the deep end (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc) and I finally had to remove my email address from my website (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), as the attacks became increasingly irrational and vicious, and my assailants were always anonymous cowards. It just was not worth it to me anymore, and I did not engage the public again for several years.
Those are far from the only instances of pals having relationships get wrecked when they tried to introduce "hip" friends to my work. For years, pals who had some understanding of my work tried to use it to "wake up" their relatives who were Rush Limbaugh fans and could not get enough Fox News. I strongly discouraged that. Those kinds of people often hoard weapons and the like. I tell my friends to just let those friends and relatives sleep, and talk about the weather and sports.
I pretty much cannot discuss any of my public work with my family, friends, and colleagues, although I have been getting a little less reticent in my old age, but I often have regretted it when I did, and had to remind myself to keep my mouth shut, even when those around me start talking about the shale oil and fracking disasters happening in their states.
Back to chores.

Hi:
Avalon has often become grist for the mill of my writings, and reading Bearden's mention of heat pump COPs (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=909979&viewfull=1#post909979) inspired my first new web page in years, which I just published, here (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm). It provides a little more education and color around Dennis's heat pump.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, you make the case that domesticating plants and animals was one of humanity's Epochal Events. Why did it happen and how, and really, how significant was it?
A: Well, I highly doubt that your diet, wherever you live on Earth, other than maybe some captured sea animals, is made of much besides domesticated plants and animals. The Domestication Revolution led to the appearance of civilization, without which there would not been metallurgy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#plow), cities (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer), literacy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing), and much of what we take for granted today, so I doubt that the significance of the Domestication Revolution can be overstated. It also raised Earth's carrying capacity for humans (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#population1) from maybe 10 million to about two billion, for a 200-fold increase. Without the Domestication Revolution, it is highly unlikely that you or I would be alive.
How it happened and why it happened are fascinating questions that scientists have pursued for centuries, and the formation of civilization is a question that philosophers have asked for millennia (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#theories). First, the how. Flowers and their resultant fruit are designed to be eaten by animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers) in order to lower the energetic costs of reproduction for plants. So, defensive plant chemicals are usually not present in fruits, as animals are supposed to eat them. But for other human foods, such as seeds (including legumes) and roots, which comprise the majority of the human diet's calories today, the plants did not originally intend for animals to eat them. What those plants domesticated for those plant parts had in common is that they all lived in tropical or warm temperate climates with dry seasons, and those plant parts were a strategy to store energy to survive the lean seasons (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran). In a few places on Earth, humans learned to exploit those energy stores and cultivate plants so that those stores were renewable. Scientists have joked that if an ET civilization observed Earth, they might think that plants bred a slave class that took care of them. Humans ensured that domestic plants were well-tended and were able to reproduce, which is all that any species could ask for. Having their energy stores plundered by humans became a hugely successful evolutionary strategy for domestic plants.
Domestic animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goat) are almost solely social animals, and since humans are social animals, it helped lend the insight needed to essentially conquer those animal societies and dominate them. Again, it became a hugely successful evolutionary strategy for those animals to become domesticated, and humans have driven numerous non-domestic animals to extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna). Becoming domesticated put those plants and animals on the "winning team," at least while humans still exist. So, humanity is deeply interdependent with its crops and domestic animals.
On the why, today a prominent hypothesis is that after humans killed off all of Earth's easy meat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi) during humanity's conquest of Earth (another Epochal Event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2)), in a few places on Earth where large animals had largely been hunted to extinction and those domesticable plants lived, humans learned to domesticate those plants. There was already a sexual division of labor in which men hunted and women gathered, related to physical strength and the demands of child-rearing. When women domesticated plants formerly gathered, they began to bring in more calories than hunting men did, and women's status rose in those pristine precursors to civilizations. Consequently, those societies tended to become matrilocal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), which meant that men left their natal societies to mate, male gangs no longer dominated those societies, and feminists accurately look back at a time when women had relatively high status in relatively peaceful societies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1). It really was the case, but as the success of domestication grew the populations, then they ran up against resource constraints once again, that brief golden age ended, and men rose to dominance again (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1) as civilization became urbanized, as brute strength, to handle draft animals where used, and organized warfare against one's neighbors (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare), as they battled over increasingly scarce resources (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#soldier), became economically important once again.
It is thought today that unless plants could only have been domesticated where hunters did not dominate, as a farmer would have been a sitting duck to raids from hungry hunters. Australia arguably had as many candidates for domestication as other continents did, but aboriginal Australians never achieved agriculture, perhaps because hunters never lost their supremacy anywhere.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, why don't you think that a, as you call it, "Tinkerer Revolution," can make FE happen?
A: Oh boy, that is a long story. I grew up in an inventor's workshop (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) and helped build his contraptions, so I have intimate "tinkering" experience. Even today, I see prominent people advocate that the FE revolution will come out of garages and workshops, maybe 3-D printed, but none of those advocates that I ever saw had any real R&D experience, even of the workshop variety, and certainly no experience in developing technology for public use. There are several reasons why nobody needs to get very excited over a tinkerer revolution, and that belief reflects some long-standing delusions among FE advocates. For one thing, I think that Hollywood had has too much influence shaping people's perceptions, like Back to the Future and other movies that depict earth-shaking technologies coming out of garages. The fact is that many breakthroughs in fact began in garages, but that was only the beginning. They were never made market-ready in garages. There is a huge gulf between a working prototype and something ready for public use.
Brian O had a sensible perspective. He spent years visiting FE labs scattered across Earth and worked at a big aerospace company for several years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#saic), as well as performed feasibility studies for space colonies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#oneill). Brian had some familiarity with what it took to take something from concept stage to public use. Dennis spent millions of dollars developing the heat pump that he sold (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), as well as building inventors' sanctuaries and spending millions on FE tinkering. It is a lot harder than Hollywood makes it look! :) I have even had people close to me, who worked for big aerospace companies, who suggested that I should just make an FE device in my garage and power my house with it. I responded that I might as well try to build a rocket to Mars in my backyard.
After years of visiting labs, then spending several years playing the Paul Revere of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere) (and then openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience)), Brian had a very realistic way of viewing FE labs. For instance, Sparky Sweet really did build an FE prototype in his home (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), but he was a career scientist for General Electric, had some high-powered guidance, and even then he kind of stumbled into his process for making his prototypes. But that was a long way from public use. Brian likened what Sparky did to the Wright brothers getting a plane in the air in 1903 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wright) and refining their planes in their shop in Dayton. That was a long way from buying a ticket to jump on a plane and fly cross the USA. A huge industrial effort took the Wright brother's planes to the commercial stage, so that passengers and freight could cross the skies. Brian estimated that it would take $100 million to take something like what Sparky had and make it into an appliance ready for public use.
The Wright brothers of FE have flown many times in their rickety crafts, but it never got past a few passes at Kitty Hawk before those planes were either destroyed or sequestered (or crashed and burned). Now, Dennis did not fly, but he built the equivalent of a train that was moving passengers and freight twice as fast and cheaper than the day's rail lines did, and they wiped him out (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run). Nobody else has ever run alternative energy freight and passengers like Dennis has, even if he never flew. Dennis had the advantage of that heat pump panel (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) being the only exotic component; everything else could be bought over-the-counter. An FE device is going to be mostly be made of exotic components, and that is where it gets hard. I have had my hands on FE prototypes, and if you have $1 million to spare, you can try to build one, too. But in Godzilla's Golden Hoard is stuff like planes and rockets, ready for the public to use (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). But we do not get any while we are collectively asleep.
To me, all of that "Tinkerer Revolution" talk is just adolescent fantasy, similar to 18-year-old boys pining for the battlefield (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). It does not work like it does in the movies, and I see that kind of advocacy as just another short-cut fantasy to FE, so that nobody has to do the hard work, but it happens after a few long nights in somebody's garage. And there is no end to the garage tinkerer who announces that he "has it!", that he is the Messiah (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) (but with nothing that he can really demo), and so forth. It is all meaningless distraction from what I am trying to get going. In the end, my choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) idea could be the nucleus for an FE effort to coalesce around, or it might only help raise the awareness and vibe, but what it will not be doing is promoting the inventor of the hour and his gizmo. That entire approach is a waste of time in today's environment, IMO, especially when the inventors apply for patents (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent), play the proprietary "secret sauce" technology game (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary), play the raising money game (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#money), and so on. Godzilla is not asleep or dead the last I knew, and he cannot be snuck past (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7). Those approaches will not work and are not really aligned with the goal. We need to raise our games if we are going to make a dent.

Dearest Wade,
Have a merry Christmas and please enjoy the holidays with your family!
If I might, here in the upper mid west where I live we need heat. I have a house with a hydronic system in that water is heated by a boiler and then pumped through out the house via pipes with radiators to distribute the heat throughout the home.
It is an efficient system with very even heating within any room in the home.
Could you talk about Dennis"s heat pump in an application such as mine and what it would mean in terms of reducing energy bills?
Again, a boiler that heats the water and a pump to distribute the hot water to the radiators and then a return of the cold water to the boiler to repeat the cycle....
It seems a huge crime to a person such as myself to see that a new type of heat pump that could triple or more the energy savings was suppressed for a short term profit from some energy company....
Well welcome to America the land of the rackets.....

Hi Nine:
As in that example that I published yesterday (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm), Dennis's heat pump was probably best at heating water, because water could absorb more energy than air could. So, in a home like yours, with circulating hot water, that was typically the easiest retrofit for Dennis's system. Basically, a heat exchanger from the heat pump was hooked up to the same place where your water is heated. It also did not need to completely replace your other heat source, which could be backup for high demand that the heat pump could not meet, or if the heat pump failed. But if it was installed properly, it was about as reliable as a refrigerator (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#refrigerator), and they both only had one moving part: the pump for the refrigerant.
The energy racketeers made sure that no company in the USA sells that heat pump anymore. Dennis's heat pump became a huge threat to the rackets. In some markets, electricity and gas and oil would be in competition, and then Dennis could find a lukewarm ally in the electric companies, but in general that heat pump was too disruptive to the rackets, so it had to go. The bottom line is that corporations are all about maximizing revenues and profits for the owners. That is the essence of capitalism. Corporations only exist to make profits for the owners (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit), but it is never polite to openly admit it. "Conservation" for corporations is only pursued if it enhances revenues and profits. Capitalism is evil in its conception (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), and would be one of the first things to go (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#capitalistdistortions) if FE made its appearance. The self-serving motivations of greed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed) and a lust for power would fade away and become obsolete. When abundance reigns (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) and everybody is empowered, those primitive games will end, although the dark pathers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), led by Godzilla, will resist it all the way, because it will mean "game over" for them.
On Christmas, oh, does the Holy Land ever suffer. Dennis and his wife (she is Jewish) have long wanted to move to Israel, and they still may, but they will do it out of a sense of trying to help heal that mess, and it needs it. The advent of FE would be a universal healing event, but in ways, no place would feel it more than the Middle East, and that segues to my intended choir Q&A today.
Q: Wade, migrations seem to be prominent in the journey of life on Earth and the human journey. What did they have in common?
A: In a word: energy. Every single migration in world history of every life form, including humans, was born of necessity and opportunity. None of the migrations were done out of a sense of adventure. The basic pattern before humans arrived on the scene was a "loser" creature being forced to the ecosystem margins and finding a way to exploit it, which could lead to exploiting a new environment. In almost all instances, exploiting the new environment was a disaster for the new environment's existing inhabitants. About the only exceptions were when plants colonized new environments, such as when they left the water for land (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#landplants), or seed-bearing plants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#seed1), as they colonized land that was barren of life. Everything that came behind them ate the existing life forms. Virtually all "golden ages (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages)" of the past were catastrophes for the life forms that fueled the golden age, and that also extended to early human migrations and golden ages. In his essential First Migrants, Peter Bellwood stated it this way:
"Why did ancient populations commence their migrations? My instinct would be to place need for land and resources as the most common causal factor in situations of free and considered migration (not forced by war or other sources of desperation), both in the prehistoric past and more recent history."
My studies have shown that whether it was the Bantu expansion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bantu), the agricultural migrations into Europe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#farmerdna), Spain's conquest of the Western Hemisphere (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), the English/British conquest of its empire, or what the USA is doing to the Middle East today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), it was always an economic motivation rooted in energy. Also, when agricultural peoples displaced/absorbed hunter-gatherers, or Spain conquered the New World (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#first), it was always native men who suffered the most; they disappeared from the gene pool, as the invaders received enhanced reproductive rights; the phenomenon of attractive females mating with rich and powerful males goes back to chimps (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nursing) and even earlier.
The Industrial Revolution could have been a harmless one, as for the first time, non-life energies were harnessed on an Epochal scale, and the rise of water (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill1) and wind (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) power that Europe rode to dominance also did not exploit life forms, at least in their operation. Instead, Europe used its energy advantages to conquer the world. For all of the immense evils that Europe inflicted on the world (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), industrialization led to the demographic transition (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) and a great increase in humanity's standard of living, and as industrialized nations exploited fossil fuels, they even began to regrow their forests.
The FE Revolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) could go a long way toward Europe paying its immense debt to humanity and the ecosphere, but evil-minded interests are in control as humanity sleeps. But if 0.0001% of humanity wakes up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), that transition to a harmless world can happen, and is what my life has been devoted to helping come to pass.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Writing about Dennis's heat pump is taking me back, as usual. Dennis was about 33 when he was introduced to the heat pump (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#lamco2). He had already lived a preposterous life (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis) and should have died many times over by then. Having his partners and mobsters steal his companies was all part of his baptism in the business world. But his education reached new levels with the Seattle experience (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run). He survived at least one murder attempt in Seattle and had so many death threats that he had a bodyguard when I met him. When Bill the BPA Hit Man drove one of Dennis's employees to commit suicide (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), that was Dennis's first radicalizing moment in the energy industry. Somewhere along the way, Bill became a Godzilla asset, and that may have been the first time when Godzilla became involved in Dennis's adventures.
Neither of us suspected it at the time, but our first Godzilla overture was in Boston (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten). The local energy interests also tried to wipe us out (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#middlesex), but higher levels of the game became involved. In Ventura, Godzilla added a couple of zeroes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) to the carrot before the boom was lowered on us (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail). We encountered Sparky Sweet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#sweet) in those days, and before too many more years passed, we got to find out about some of what was in Godzilla's Golden Hoard (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). The media (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), "skeptics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)," law enforcement, and the like were regularly sicced on Dennis, on behalf of various racketeering interests, from local electric companies all the way up to Godzilla (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#attacks).
When Brian O began to peek into the FE milieu, about the same time that he nearly lost his life poking into the UFO milieu (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack) (they are related), he also began seeing how deep the rabbit hole went, and he eventually used an onion analogy, as the layers of truth and deception peeled away, which I used in one of my more prominent essays (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#peeling).
If you are truly pursuing the truth and world healing and have the integrity to walk those paths very far and survive for long, that is the territory that you encounter. Again, that organized suppression exists was not the big surprise of my journey, or that Godzilla has quite a treasure trove of goodies, but how the FE aspirant's greatest enemy (if he can get past his own ego) is his social circle, including his friends, family, and colleagues. You could have gotten me thinking that those other dynamics, interests, and events were real, but you could have never convinced me who my greatest enemies would be (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913180&viewfull=1#post913180). That is the current state of humanity, in all its glory.

Ho, ho, ho.
Peace on Earth, etc.
The choir Q&As, when related to my journey, are not fictional in that they are really questions that I have been asked before. Today, I will put in some odds and ends.
To make the "logic" clearer that the Attorney General's office used in its phony lawsuit in Seattle (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#performance), I will use a car analogy. The way that Dennis sold that heat pump was that customers only paid what it saved (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), so its performance was guaranteed, and I doubt that even the Attorney General's lawsuit attacked the tax credit the way that that news show did (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), as that charge was easily proven false.
So, it was as if Dennis had a car that got a documented 100 MPG (which Dennis also sold (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&highlight=wirec#post694872), many years later, which was what finally got him driven from the USA), and customers only paid for how much gasoline that car saved them over their current car. It got 100 MPG in government-certified tests, but Dennis generally used tests with it getting 60 MPG in his sales literature, which he also submitted to Congress in order for it to qualify for the tax credit (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#wind).
So, if it did not save anything, the customer never paid in the first place, so the attack on its MPG was irrational on its face, but it got worse. There were already cars getting 100 MPG in conditions like Seattle's, and the road conditions when it got only 60 MPG were in another, rougher, part of the country. If it could get 60 MPG there, it would get higher MPGs everywhere else. The lawsuit stated that Dennis only submitted data showing that it got 60 MPG in another part of the country, and he could not prove that it would get 60 MPG in Seattle, as if it would get less in Seattle, when anybody with any experience with Dennis's car knew that it would likely get 100 MPG in Seattle, not less than 60. But the lawsuit stated that Dennis had not proven that it could get 60 MPG in Seattle.
The other charges in the lawsuit were about at that level of rationality. Here is another example of how legitimate their charges were. I have written how Dennis's manufacturer was wiped out by the Rockefellers' bank (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#arizona), and that manufacturer had the most famous test of Dennis's heat pump performed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#previous), which became more famous than the results that Dennis submitted to Congress when Ventura County's officials lied about that test to the test lab, to scare it off and prevent that data from being submitted to court. When Dennis's manufacturer was wiped out like that, just as the electric companies began their attack in Seattle (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle1), Dennis finally had to build his own factory. Mr. Engineer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#engineer), who built Boeing's 747 factory, built Dennis's heat pump factory. When I interviewed with Dennis's company the next year (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), it was at that factory. One charge in the Attorney General's lawsuit was that there was no factory building Dennis's heat pumps. After the media attack, orchestrated when Dennis was out of town, and coordinated with Bill the BPA Hit Man's attempted mutiny on the inside (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#mutiny), the Attorney General's office finally served their lawsuit on Dennis. Guess where the lawsuit was served to Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#lawsuit)? At the heat pump factory! The Attorney General's office could not have been more stupid if they had tried, and their dragon lady's conscience finally got to her and she quit her career in the midst of bludgeoning Dennis's company, and later defended her criminal behavior to Dennis as "only following orders (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy)."
The Attorney General's lawsuit was filled with charges at that level of legitimacy, but a 40-plus-count lawsuit sprayed across the media had its intended effect: everybody who had not put down any money on Dennis's system canceled their orders. When I reconstructed Dennis's books the next year (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042), I noted that only those who made down payments (generally the tax credit money, which they had refunded when they filed their tax returns) had systems installed. The campaign was completely effective in that regard, but they were not able to prevent those 400 systems from being installed, although they tried mightily (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#harlow), which resulted in that woman's death (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), among other calamities. To this day, talking heads and "elder statesmen" in the FE field lie about what happened in Seattle (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), in order to portray Dennis as a criminal. Those are some reasons why I do not want to have anything to do with the FE field today.
As I previously threatened to do, I am going to write about how I met Brian. It was not as spectacular as meeting Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), or rescuing that hooker (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=911220&viewfull=1#post911220), but I can tell that my "friends" orchestrated our introduction. It takes a little telling to understand the context, so here goes. My overgrown Boy Scout nature (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) was evident from infancy, and while growing up, my friend's parents treated me like a son, especially the mothers. That also became evident after I left home. Women old enough to be my mother treated me like a son. My wife has been amused by that effect for the past 27 years. In retrospect, I can now see that sometimes it probably went beyond that, and some of those women would have liked to have had me for their boy toy, but I was almost always oblivious to any overtures that they may have made, and only many years later could I see what was probably happening on their end. One friend's mother, who later said that she considered me another son, began shacking up with a guy my age, right as she treated me like a son and then some. And again, I was oblivious to her even shacking up with that youngster, and she told me about it many years later.
I have written plenty about my life's greatest crime (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=912935&viewfull=1#post912935), and that old girlfriend who began attacking me in Boston (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=578559&viewfull=1#post578559). In both instances, those women were babes with a capital B, and they both threw themselves at me for a year before I did anything about it. With that ex-girlfriend who attacked me, during the year that she threw herself at me (in LA, but we were friends in college), a married couple from my college days sat me down and informed me that she was throwing herself at me and that if I did not "go for it," I was a fool, as she was marrying material. Our brief fling happened some months later, and she ended it after a couple of weeks, as I was not a Christian and would never be one (and did not want children, but she sure did, and eventually had four), but marrying her was definitely on my list of possibilities, before she ended it. As I look back at my life, even I can tell that many women got flirty with me and probably wanted to have a relationship, but I was oblivious to it and on my "save the world" path, and passed up many "opportunities" while I lived like a monk. Some overtures were more than overt, and I generally ran away from those women. Gay men were also attracted to me, and again, I was oblivious to the fact that that they were even gay, even when friends told me that I was hanging around with gay men who had their eye on me. But even I could tell when some women treated me maybe a little too motherly, but I was never about to do anything about it. And this leads to how I met Brian.
When I moved to Ohio after marrying my wife, it took me a year to find my next career position (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#how), as I once again tried finding work in a recession. As during my younger days in Seattle, LA, and Ventura, I joined the local mystical community, and I also joined a "new science" organization in Dayton (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), which had its meetings in the shadow of the world's largest Air Force base. The local chapter of that organization held its national conference there in the summer of 1991, literally a couple of weeks before I landed that next career position. The local chapter was run by a man who was a very cheap imitation of Dennis, as he played the flamboyant game. The guy built Rife (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife) machines to make a living and had recently married a lovely woman about my age, and he was ten years older than us. It was one of those marriages where you wondered what she saw in him. He was about 100 pounds overweight and again, was a cheap and kind of creepy version of Dennis. I was not impressed with his shtick, and kind of gave him crap when he led that organization's monthly meetings. I did it in a friendly way, but I was a thorn in his side, and his wife loved me. She was about my age, but treated me like those mothers of my young years did, and I am sure that her husband noticed.
I worked with her at the registration table at that national conference, and that was when I got a peek at their member list (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#uspa) and saw why Bill the BPA Hit Man arrived at a conference to heckle and wreck Dennis's appearance there. As I look back at it, our interactions could be seen as flirty, and her husband began to send me to the airport to pick up speakers for the conference. I now think that he was trying to get rid of me, and it was on one of those airport runs that I picked up some guy named Brian O'Leary. That was how we met (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet). I laugh when I think about that situation, and as I look back at it, I can tell that it was another series of events orchestrated by my "friends."

Ho, ho, ho:
One reason why I have made thousands of posts at Avalon is that if FE ever makes it past the organized suppression and the public's inertia, and the biggest event in the human journey arrives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), Dennis's and Brian's odysseys will become quite famous, and professional biographers and historians are going to be mining this thread and my site for information, and I am trying to ensure that my writings will be available to the public as long as there is an Internet. So, I am not only doing this for the benefit of today's readers, but future biographers and historians. But if we don’t get over the FE hump, there may not be a future civilization anyway (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).

THIS IS A VERY ACCURATE STATEMENT---
I believe that much of that so-called advanced technology tries to mimic advanced spiritual abilities. My understanding is that much of our advanced technology is quaint by certain “extraterrestrial” standards, because we have a primitive understanding of consciousness. By and large, the heart is not in charge on Earth.,
Thanks to be with us Wade.

Thanks Yetti:
Bill lifted that statement from some email exchanges that he, Kerry, Brian, and I had in preparation for our interview, and I did not have an issue with that being the "headline (http://projectcamelot.org/wade_frazier.html)" of my interview. I still feel the same way. Much of what technology does is make our lives easier, and "living" on the other side is truly effortless. We have different challenges on the other side, and a lot of that so-called "advanced" technology only does what some of us can do without it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level19). I have taken my own baby steps in those areas (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#research), as others have honed those innate abilities to masterful levels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#chang).
However, the path ahead, as with the path behind us, will be technological in nature. In that heavenly Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), there may not have been any Level 19s, but some no longer needed technology in ways, as their spiritual abilities eliminated the need. We are not going to all float off to Nirvana together, but will use technology to clean up our mess (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) and manifest something that looks a lot like heaven on Earth. It is part of the path of our evolution and our souls' learning experience. Only much later will some of us no longer need to eat, move around the universe at will, manifest whatever we need, etc.

Wade

I am in the middle of some Christmas chores, before the day begins. I thought that I was a good boy this year, but I do not see any sign of Santa's visit! :)
Q: Wade, the role of oxygen in the journey of life on Earth is currently keenly contested. What is your position?
A: I cover a lot of that controversy in my essay, from the Great Oxygenation Event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenation) and the formation of the banded iron formations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bif) to the oxygenation of the oceans (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#canfield2) to the role of anoxic events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#anoxic) in mass extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctiontable) and formation of the oil deposits (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#anoxicoil) to many evolutionary events in which oxygen's role is contested, from the very beginnings of complex life (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ediacaran) to allegedly evolutionary adaptations to varying oxygen levels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rainforestkaroo) over the eon of complex life. Scientists such as Berner (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#geocarbsulf), Canfield (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#canfield), and Ward (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ward) have presented a great deal of evidence to support arguments for oxygen's crucial role, while scientists such as Nick Butterfield (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#butterfield) have challenged the importance of oxygen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenchallenge) in various events.
I personally find the subject fascinating, and there is surely going to be a flurry of scientific papers in the future that will shed more light on those subjects, and I happily await those research results. Some in the field are cautioning against making oxygen's role larger than it really was, and today's oxygen hypotheses are considered by some scientists to be a fad, similar to how bolide impacts were invoked (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bolide) for all mass extinctions not long ago. Fashions and fads can grip scientists, too.
I believe that oxygen's role has been great. The production of oxygen by photosynthetic bacteria (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenic) likely saved our oceans from being lost to space (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hydrogen), created the ozone layer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ozone), and has been responsible for many events that allowed life to flourish on Earth. No planet is going to have much free oxygen in its atmosphere if there is not a constant production of it, as oxygen is so reactive. Life learned to generate that oxygen as well as take advantage of it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aerobic), and we would not have food chains without it, or any animals that lived on land. So, I doubt that the importance of oxygen can be overstated, even though its role in many events is currently contested. Again, I look forward to digesting the research results for as long as my brain can do so, and I probably have another 30 good years to digest new findings.

As I have written recently (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=904153&viewfull=1#post904153), it is increasingly looking like it will be Hillary versus Jeb in 2016, and it is surreal. I was just reading another article this morning on it (http://news.yahoo.com/again-really-bush-clinton-2016-150222338--election.html), and it has been getting plenty of mainstream coverage lately (1 (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/07/george-bush-jeb-bush-hillary-clinton_n_6284062.html), 2 (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/10/us-usa-georgewbush-idUSKCN0IU1KC20141110), 3 (http://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/will-it-be-bush-vs.-clinton-in-2016--348595267802)), as well as some fringe coverage and sober assessment (1 (http://www.infowars.com/bush-v-clinton-in-2016-new-world-order-dream-matchup-being-touted-as-inevitable/), 2 (http://theweek.com/article/index/272359/bush-vs-clinton-in-2016-is-the-perfect-way-to-make-millennials-hate-politics-even-more)). What the Bushes and Clintons have in common is being Rockefeller toadies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1), just like all presidents since JFK (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk). The Rockefellers and other robber barons have owned virtually all American presidents since the late 1800s (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#morgan). Nothing advertises the complete bankruptcy of the USA's political system more than Hillary versus Jeb in 2016. As Bucky Fuller said (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics), there are not any political solutions to humanity's problems, and especially in the USA. :)

Hi:
I have been making essay tweaks lately, but just tiny ones, and they will be reflected in this choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, I have long followed progressive prescriptions for the way out of this mess, and they discuss the concept of sustainability, but you discuss abundance instead. What really is the difference?
A: In a word, energy. My big essay could be said to be devoted to understanding the concept of energy in not only the journey of life on Earth, including the human journey, but also so that people can understand the difference between sustainable and abundant, and I draw about as big a picture as I think that anybody can on the subjects, and here is a summary, with the concepts of sustainable and abundant in mind.
Virtually all energy used on Earth today comes from two sources. The first is radioactivity from decaying elements inside Earth, which were created when a star collapsed in our galactic vicinity and provided the raw materials for our solar system (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sun). The hydrogen largely coalesced to form the Sun, and nuclear fusion in the Sun is the other source of energy. Cosmic rays hitting our solar system provide negligible energy.
Life appeared when Earth cooled down enough so that stable molecular structures could form that provided the basis of Earth's life, somewhat less than four billion years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lifeappears). Relatively quickly, earliest life learned to exploit energy gradients in chemicals and it soon developed enzymes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enzyme), to speed up reactions. Not too long after that, some biological structures were used in a new way, to capture sunlight energy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis1), and that soon became the predominant method of acquiring energy. Not too long after that, a photosynthesizer learned to split water to get its electrons to power its processes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis2), and oxygen was the waste product. Earth then began a slow process that lasted billions of years, of being oxygenated (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenation). That process saved Earth's ocean from being lost to space (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hydrogen), which would have brought an abrupt halt to the experiment called life on Earth.
Life had numerous energy events, in interaction with Earth's chemical and physical systems, which led to organisms that learned to use the oxygen in their respiration (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aerobic). Complex cells developed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#complex), which led to multicellular organisms, and when the ocean became oxygenated (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#canfield2), the rise of animals commenced (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals). Suddenly, animals became large (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ecosystem), as size presented a survival advantage (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#size2), and life's arms war began in earnest. Life in the oceans (and eventually land) went through booms that have been called "golden ages (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages)," which eventually turned into busts called mass extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctiontable). Both were energy events: one of plenitude, and the other an energy crash. Throughout those booms and busts, life evolved into larger and more sophisticated forms, and a typical pattern was that marginal creatures in one golden age became the next dominant animals after a mass extinction ended the reign of the previous regime. It especially happened with animals, but also happened with plants. The reptiles that became mammals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#synapsid) were dominant before the greatest mass extinction ever (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction), but after that extinction, the reptiles that became dinosaurs rose to dominance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lystrosaurus1), and mammals became fringe dwellers. A bolide event wiped out the dinosaurs and its relatives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), and with the global slate wiped clean, those fringe-dwelling mammals became the next dominant class of animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cenozoic). Some mammals learned to live in trees and partnered with flowering plants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers). Some became primates (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#primate1), and others became rodents (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rodents). Among primates, the losers of arboreal life migrated from the treetops and became ground-dwelling apes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proconsul). Eventually some loser apes were pushed out of the rainforest, dwelt on its edge, and learned to walk upright (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedskull) to secure far-flung energy (AKA food) sources, which eventually led to a creature that used its hands to make tools in a way never done before (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1), as its brain became relatively gigantic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain). Before long, it learned to control fire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), which was the greatest energy event yet seen among animals, which allowed that ape to eventually dominate Earth.
While growing large was a great advantage for plants and animals and a great investment of energy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#budget), humans learned to exploit those energy stores, and the first great human migration that allowed it to conquer Earth was achieved at the expense of the world's large animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused) and all other human species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal). During that phase, humanity's population increased by a factor of a thousand (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#population1). After the easy energy was gone, then humans learned to domesticate plants (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), and civilization developed across the planet (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1). The global human population increased by another thousand-fold since plants were domesticated.
Very similar to the booms and busts of the journey of life on Earth, human civilizations have boomed and busted. There have generally been two scientific camps on those busts: one was environmental change, droughts in particular, and the other did not deny environmental change, but believed that humans had a hand in those changes through its methods, mainly of deforestation and soil destruction, which only exacerbated inherently unsustainable energy practices. A similar situation exists regarding the extinction of the easy meat: one camp argues that climate change did it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2), while the other argues that humans did it and that climate change likely had minimal effects. I noticed that climate change advocates had a conflict of interest as they absolved humanity from having any contribution to its fate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup). The scientific consensus on the megafauna extinctions has increasingly been deciding that human agency was by far the most prominent variable, and humans destroying their energy supplies via deforestation and soil destruction have risen to prominence as the dominant explanation for early civilization collapses (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations). Humanity's agency in its own demise just makes sense. Nothing ever exploited energy like humans could, and humans virtually never did it with any foresight, but grabbed all the energy they could until it ran out, just like any other animal. It happened with the easy meat, forests and soils (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climate1), and today extends to the fossil fuels that power the industrialized world (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert). It is just another example of short-sighted humanity.
Some Stone Age cultures, after the easy meat was gone, developed what could be called sustainable energy sources. Sometimes it was just taking advantage of an energy flow, such as the Pacific Northwest culture that depended on salmon for half of its calories (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stoneage1) and they could sustainably exploit incredibly thick forests. Several biomes in the Western Hemisphere were sustainably harvested by humans, and humans even terraformed some soils. But wherever civilization appeared, the familiar pattern of the Old World was repeated, and early civilizations in the Western Hemisphere collapsed. In Australia, they never even achieved plant domestication (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nile1). Deforestation and agriculture were almost never really sustainable (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#unsustainable1), even though there were early "golden ages" of relative abundance. What invariably happened was that human populations quickly grew to the land's carrying capacity under the new energy regime, and because those methods were never really sustainable, the population collapsed, and booming and busting civilizations were the norm across the planet.
Humanity's population has increased by nearly an order of magnitude since industrialization began, and as we run out of fossil fuel energy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), the "progressive" solution being advocated by Peak Oil (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil) and environmental (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists) advocates is to bring humanity's population back to Earth's carrying capacity before industrialization, which necessitates a 90% depopulation of Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity). In some ways, one might be able to call the world advocated by those activists "sustainable," but it would be based on austerity. People such as Bucky Fuller stated that visions based on shared austerity have never worked (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#austerity), and I agree.
The greatest era of prosperity in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar) ended with the first energy crisis experienced by history's richest nation (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), and that spurred me and some fellow travelers, who eventually became my allies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#journeys), to pursue solutions to humanity's energy predicament. My eventual partner sold the best heating system that has ever been on the world market (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), and made the biggest run at bringing alternative energy to the marketplace that has yet been attempted (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run). He discovered the hard way that the world's energy markets are rigged affairs, but markets have been rigged since the very first ones (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear). There is no such thing, and there has never been, a free market. It is only a useful fiction for promoting the rapacious economic system called capitalism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists). We also discovered during our adventures that technology that taps a new energy source – the background energy of the universe – is older than I am (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but global elites have sequestered those technologies, wiped out any independent attempts to develop them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), and the public is largely oblivious to that situation. Intellectuals deny that situation on the "laws of physics" and "conspiracy theory" grounds (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), but they do it very irrationally (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive), and seem addicted to scarcity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation) and afraid of abundance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
My realities of my journey and those of my fellow travelers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) have been simply unbelievable to the masses, but they were all too real. The incredible and the preposterous became our daily companions, while humanity races to oblivion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).
The bottom line is that the "sustainable" solutions presented by various progressives are anything but abundant, particularly when a 90% depopulation of Earth is how their plan begins. If those energy technologies that we know exist became used by the public, concepts such as Earth's carrying capacity and carbon footprint (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#footprint) would become meaningless. Under an abundance paradigm, even Earth's ecosystems would not be commandeered and exploited by humans, but an unprecedented relationship to nature could begin.
All of my fellow travelers also had a mystical awakening that propelled them on their journeys (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#journeys), and what I noticed, with my studies and adventures, was that scarcity and fear were joined at the hip, as were love and abundance. It really is a conflict of paradigms (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). More than 99% of humanity currently reacts with denial and fear (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) to the idea of those new energy technologies and what they can make possible. For those who accept the idea of those energy technologies and their potentially beneficial effects, so far, denial and fear have permeated their efforts to develop those technologies, which have doomed them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), even if global elites were not actively suppressing (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) any efforts that became successful or threatened to be. I finally came to understand that any effort to develop and disseminate those technologies had to be grounded in at least the concept of love and abundance if they were going to stand a chance of success, and my efforts for the past decade have been focused on that approach (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).
So, sustainable and abundant are two very different concepts, but I regularly see them confused (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#exuberance). Since scarcity is all that humanity has known (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity2), other than some briefs periods of relative abundance, almost nobody on Earth today is able or willing to even try to understand what abundance means. But if 0.0001% of humanity woke up, understood, and combined their sentience (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), the transition to global abundance would be easily accomplished. That is what I am trying to do. All Epochal Events in the human journey were initiated by a relative handful of people, and probably a literal handful for the earliest events, and I do not see why it will be different with this greatest of all Epochal Events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable).

Hi:
Q: Wade, you mention your many surprises on your journey. Did they have anything in common?
A: As I think back, I guess that you could say that what they all had in common was a lack of personal integrity in humanity, which was my journey's primary lesson (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), but they had many subtle facets that did not become evident until I really began to dig into them and had many years of experiencing them. It was many years before I realized that what they all had in common were scarcity and fear. The pattern that I eventually recognized and its seeming causes were as follows.
Fear is a survival mechanism, and in mammals, fear shuts down the neocortex (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fearresponse), as the fight-or-flight response kicks in. The carrots and sticks of socialization far predate the appearance of humanity, and can be seen in monkeys, for instance, which display crude forms of human politics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1). So, many behaviors that I saw and was amazed by seemed to literally be pre-sentient behaviors, as people acted out from their social programming. When they did that, they did not really seem capable of rational thought, but just parroted their conditioning. I watched people choose certain death over questioning their conditioning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choose), so people's allegiance to their conditioning even overcame their survival instincts. That is some deep conditioning.
I began to see it when I was 12 when my family changed its diet to preserve my father's health (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), and I was initially shocked at the hostile reactions that I received when I told people what we did and why. So, I began learning young, and when I had my mystical awakening at 16 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) and became quite the mystical student, it was initially dismaying to see my growing mystical understandings be attacked by both religion and science. I could even see as a teenager that both camps worshipped their dogmas, but that neither dogma really had much to do with reality, but was their contrived worldview that would be invalidated by having mystical experiences, so those camps either denied or demonized such experiences. They chose beliefs that fed them over a pursuit of the truth gained from experience. I was also in training to be a scientist, so navigating that terrain was quite a kaleidoscopic experience. As I think back to those days, in some ways I should have seen what was coming, but during the dozen years after changing my studies from science to business, because a desperate prayer was answered (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), I learned the most valuable lessons of my lifetime. I had many surprises in many ways, and as I have written many times, it was the attacks from friends and family that shocked me the most. You could not have convinced me of that (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913180&viewfull=1#post913180) when I was 16, 19, or even 27.
As I staggered away from my home town (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), radicalized, I realized that however I was taught how the world worked was likely highly inaccurate, and I spent all of my spare time in the succeeding years performing the study and writing that became my website today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/home.htm). I estimate that it took the equivalent of seven years of full-time effort, scattered over a quarter-century, to create it. My paradigm had largely been set back in 1990, as far as knowing the key problems that humanity faced (the enemy is us), but the next generation saw me fill in many blanks, reach new paradigmatic understandings, and I was finally able to generalize what I was seeing. The basic dynamic is as follows.
We have lived in a world of scarcity and fear from the beginning (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity2), and all humans have been indoctrinated into their in-group ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) from infancy. Some come early, and some come later, but by adulthood, all of those dominant ideologies have been received and digested. Those ideologies form worldviews for their adherents, and in science those frameworks are called paradigms (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded). Those paradigms are how their adherents make sense of their worlds, and the vast majority of their adherents will fiercely cling to those paradigms to their deaths (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#real), even when clinging to their paradigms means their death. You could not have convinced me of that before I began witnessing it happen before my eyes.
I finally decided that what those ideologies all had in common (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) was being based on an assumption of scarcity, but they promised their adherents material rewards and egocentric strokes. That combination of belly and emotional/ideological conditioning has proven nearly invincible for experience, reason, and the like to unseat them, even when adhering to them meant certain death.
I also found that each successive dominant in-group ideology was a little more sophisticated than the previous one, but each was still rooted in scarcity and fear, and abusing the out-group in favor of the in-group, although the in-group has grown over time. While religious ideologies resembled fairy tales (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales), so did nationalist and imperialist ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ww2), and even the economic ideologies were built on fairy tales (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists). So, the leading ideologies on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#obvious) were all based on fairy tales. Scientists have training to see past those fairy tales, but only became trapped by subtler and more seductive fairy tales (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), which again were proof against experience, logic, etc.
The materialism that grips scientists is also behind their denial that that novel energy source even exists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3). After several years of trying to interest his colleagues in the idea of free energy, my astronaut pal openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1). So, what surprised me was how nearly everybody sold out their sentience on behalf of the in-group ideologies that they were indoctrinated into from a young age. In the end, it seemed to be an emotional dynamic that completely bypasses the neocortex (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#limbic1), as fear ruled their minds. And as long as we live in fear and scarcity, it always will.
So, many of the surprises of my journey, in which humanity's seeming blindness and stupidity were breathtaking, I finally came to understand was just their allegiance to what fed them. I have called it digging into their niche of hell and not budging, while my astronaut pal called it "digging in their heels (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#heels)," and I think that the best way to view it is abdicating their sentience for the promise of security, which they will ride all the way to their graves. I have constantly seen free energy newcomers scratch their heads that the masses cannot seem to understand ideas that should be easily grasped, such as the idea that our entire industrial era is riding a huge energy wave. Most people do not even begin to understand energy's role in it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#realeconomy), as hard as that can be to believe. So, my surprises were generally all around how despicably and irrationally people could act, but I eventually understood that it was all just allegiance to their bellies and egos. Once that framework is understood, then there were few surprises, and what you definitely come to understand is that there is no way on Earth that the masses will even begin to understand the idea of abundance before the means to it are delivered into their lives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). It also does no good to judge them in their allegiance to their bellies and egos (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1); almost nobody on Earth has ever broken that death grip. If you want to judge anything, judge our species, but I think that that is a trap, too. I seek people who will at least try to break free of their conditioning, and if enough of us can (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), then something that looks a lot like heaven on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can come into view. It will not fall into our laps, however, but must be pursued. There will be nothing easy about it.
So, those are what my surprises had in common.
Best,
Wade

Ho, ho, ho:
One reason why I have made thousands of posts at Avalon is that if FE ever makes it past the organized suppression and the public's inertia, and the biggest event in the human journey arrives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), Dennis's and Brian's odysseys will become quite famous, and professional biographers and historians are going to be mining this thread and my site for information, and I am trying to ensure that my writings will be available to the public as long as there is an Internet. So, I am not only doing this for the benefit of today's readers, but future biographers and historians. But if we don’t get over the FE hump, there may not be a future civilization anyway (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).
Best,
Wade
I was thinking to myself recently about how the choir and these discussions could still play a major role even if FE was introduced onto the world stage by others.
At times I've felt depressed about my online research and discussion activity, wondering if it will ever make any difference. Further contemplation however caused a vision to come to mind of how the internet is becoming the brain and nervous system of the human world. Even if we seemingly have limited material means to effect change, the ones who do control suppressed technology are likely monitoring discussions of this nature, and perhaps enlightening discussion has a greater butterfly effect than outward appearances would suggest.
It makes sense to me that garage tinkerer or hero inventor approaches won't work. Even in terms of more conventional technology one can find plenty of videos of prototype cars made by garage inventors with higher MPG or fuel sources other than gas, but they never seem to get patented or invested in beyond the prototype stage.
I think it's quite likely that the "white hats" in the shadows will eventually be the ones to start gradually bringing FE into the light as environmental and financial conditions worsen, but along the way there will be an attempt to integrate it into the current government and security state for purposes of increased psychotronic monitoring and control. In that sense the choir would play a key role, as it would help steer the implementation in a better direction and correct false assumptions.

Hi Enishi:
I could spend a day replying to your post, but here is the short version. :)
I never really conceived of my effort as being the missing piece to make FE happen. I was trying to fill some holes that I witnessed in the failed efforts that I was a part of, heard about through fellow travelers, read about, etc. There was not an aware and engaged public, and those that became involved were scientifically illiterate and looking for heroes, and Dennis obliged them. What a disaster that turned out to be, repeatedly. One hero, no matter how amazing (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), cannot get it done. I think that Dennis's belief in a messianic religion has something to do with that, and FE aspirants are regularly overcome by the magnitude of the effort (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion), and greed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#greed), delusions of grandeur (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and the like take over.
Other FE newcomers watch those tawdry spectacles, and a largely oblivious public, and they think that organized suppression can be snuck past (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7), as they must be as oblivious as the public, right? Wrong, big time. The people at the top know very well the game they are playing and what the leverage points are. You can take it to the bank that both the White Hats and Black Hats are aware of my efforts, and have been aware since the 1980s, but they generally just watch. (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7) I just let them do their thing while I do my thing. They may try to impact what I am doing, positively or negatively, but I really don't pay attention and plow forward. They may make various plays to promote or hinder, but I cannot plan for what they will or will not do, and know that if I found 5,000-7,000 singers who learned the song (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), that FE would be a done deal. Lone voices in the wilderness can never get it done, no matter how on-key and loud.
If what I am trying to get going is not the missing piece, it is certainly a missing piece. Garage heroes will never get it done. I am not exaggerating when I say that tens of thousands of garage heroes have taken a run at it, all the way from high-MPG stuff to FE. None have ever gotten remotely close to the finish line. The "lucky" ones got the Golden Handcuffs, (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff) and the unlucky ones suffered an array of life-wrecking (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey) and life-ending (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors) fates. Those with gizmos featured on YouTube and elsewhere are about the equivalent of five-year-old boys thinking that they can play in the NFL.
Yes, the Internet's potential is unprecedented, and I am trying to take advantage of its potential. Nobody has tried what I am doing, and we will see how it goes. I wish that mine was only one effort of many like it (which would greatly increase the odds of success), but right now it is a lonely journey.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I am seeing these kinds of geopolitical (http://www.thedailybell.com/editorials/35944/Ron-Holland-Putin-It-Is-Time-to-Play-Your-Ace-in-the-Hole/) and media (http://www.theautomaticearth.com/2014-the-year-propaganda-came-of-age/) analyses these days, as well as the oil games (http://oilprice.com/Energy/Oil-Prices/Saudi-Arabia-Ready-For-20-30-40-Oil.html). Ominous times, obviously, although you would never know it by the record stock markets (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-26/stocks-have-never-been-more-expensive-based-long-term-growth-forecasts) and easy money (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-26/will-we-never-learn-meet-subprime-auto-title-loans-2014s-home-atm) policies. A dark night is coming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming). Of course, with FE, the nightmare (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) can pass (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
Q: Wade, what kinds of findings are coming from DNA testing? How reliable are they?
A: All kinds, of varying levels of reliability and interpretive validity. This is a young science, and there is often great dispute over today's findings. I see it turning out like other sciences as they grow older, in that as the data and techniques become more robust, a lot of the current controversy will eventually fade. Today, DNA testing (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dna) is being used in myriad ways, and is being used with human DNA in many ways, from paternity testing to determining a person's ancestry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test) to trying to determine if, how, and when ancient human migrations happened. It is used for determining criminality and the fate of human populations. Numerous variables have to be accounted for, such as the founder effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Founder_effect), which complicates testing and has led to a great deal of controversy. There are numerous popular misconceptions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_misunderstandings_of_genetics), and some DNA results have proven to be far blunter instruments than how they were originally envisioned, such as "molecular clock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_clock)" usage. Many descent relationships between extinct species and today's have been clarified via DNA testing. The tools and data exist, and over time, this will become a far more developed science than it is today. It really is a fascinating time, when a new tool opens up new vistas of research and study, kind of like how mass spectrometers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spectrometers) allowed for many kinds of tests, which opened new doors. The techniques and technology will improve, and hypothesis testing will improve the science. New horizons await.
Q: What has been the significance of the size issue in the journey of life on Earth?
A: Size has been a highly important issue over the eon of complex life and before, and it has always been intimately related to the energy issue. The complex cell could not have formed if not for the energy innovation of a bacterium becoming a mitochondrion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mitochondria), which became the power plant for complex cells and allowed them to grow immensely larger than prokaryotic cells. Complex life would not have appeared on Earth without that innovation. The seemingly sudden appearance of large animals in the Cambrian Explosion shows how important the size issue was (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#size2). Animals got as big as they could, as fast as they could, and all the animal body plans and their attendant organs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#size3) came into existence then, and have not changed since then (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#foundation). Bigger was better, as it conferred survival advantages.
However, big could also spell doom. In virtually all mass extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctiontable), the big ones went out, and previously small, marginal creatures grew large and filled the void. This happened over and over, and the one most important to humans was the asteroid that wiped out almost all archosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), including dinosaurs, and left Earth open for the rise of mammals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsdevelop). It took 25 million years, but mammals reached their maximum size (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsize), and some even rivaled dinosaurs in size, and for the next 40 million years, large mammals dominated all inhabitable continents, until an animal came along that could mine the energy in megafauna flesh (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi), and humans quickly drove nearly all of Earth's large animals to extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna). So, that advantage that animals continually strove for became a fatal disadvantage once again.
Size and islands has been a highly interesting subject, as large animals became small, and small animals became large (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#island). When plants left water and colonized land, they also learned the advantages of size, and trees are the largest organisms ever (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy). Once again, that advantage became an extinctive disadvantage when humans began to mine the energy of trees. Humanity has reduced Earth's plant biomass by a third (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biomass1) since the beginnings of agriculture.
Even today, larger men have advantages over smaller men, so size is still an issue. Earth's small people are small due to energy. When Japan began to ingest Western levels of calories and nutrients, Japanese women went from dainty to Western-size within a generation. With FE, all humans would quickly reach about the same size, and my hope would be that the forests could regenerate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wooduse) and large animals could make their reappearance. Competitive games would also likely end, so there would be no NBA careers for giants, but nobody would mind.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have written that I was raised in a racist household, and it took me a few years to put racism behind me, but it is something that I will always have to live with and be vigilant of, because I was conditioned that way. Unfortunately, I have studied the Jewish Holocaust at length (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward) and watched quite a few documentaries. I remember an interview with a German woman who was raised by a Nazi father in the 1930s, and she said that nearly every day her father would show her a picture of a Jew and drill it into her head what Jews looked like, and she said that 50 years later, whenever she sees a Jew, her mind says, "There is a Jew." She said that she would probably take that reaction to her grave with her, as it was so beaten into her head as a child. In the USA, it is probably impossible for me to see somebody who is not white, even though white is a minority skin color in my neighborhood, without noticing that the person is not white. It will probably haunt me to my grave.
In Southern California, the racism was directed toward Mexican-Americans more than African-Americans, but I got plenty of both growing up, even though my friends included Mexican nationals and Mexican-Americans and my first employer was black (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown). Being raised in history's most racist nation and growing up in the civil rights era was a trip, and the race riots that we see in the USA today have a very long pedigree. The same county that kangarooed Dennis into prison acquitted those police in the Rodney King beating trial (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#cub), and the jury was stacked, as usual.
When Dennis was in jail, one of our dealers was from Ohio and sent Dennis cards while he was in jail, and was one of a handful of people who did not abandon Dennis while he was in jail (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=611346&viewfull=1#post611346). He was black, and if you met him, you would have thought that he was a college professor. He is in my pantheon of good guys, and we were friends. When I was briefly back with Dennis in 1996-1997, and people like Mr. Skeptic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) arrived on the scene, I continually had to deal with "skepticism" of what happened in Ventura. Of course, with my own mother taking a scrapbook tour of her son the criminal (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=300436&viewfull=1#post300436), I was all-too-used to the treatment, and Mr. Skeptic, while I was being friendly with him, really seemed dense, unable to really understand what happened, and he constantly tried seeing things the prosecution's way, and I watched him steadily go off the deep end, from a friendly "skepticism" that just could not seem to imagine that corruption could exist in the USA (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#call) to eventually calling Dennis's "claims" of "persecution" a "delusion" to eventually libeling Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel) and never letting up, as he made up new lies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#attack2006) when his old ones were exposed. I eventually decided that I was probably watching a professional at work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#skeptic), and it was educational. That he quietly folded his tents after Dennis was run out of the country is more evidence that his "skeptical" labors were performed as somebody's employee.
Mr. Skeptic was not the only person "skeptical" of what happened in Ventura, as many people had their establishment-worshipping delusions challenged by what happened. It was in those days that that black dealer told me an anecdote from his life. Not only did not he not fit the typical black mold (even today, there are not very many black professorial types in the USA), he married a white woman. He told me that he had experienced racial discrimination (especially with a white wife), which is no surprise to any black person in the USA, but he said that when he would relate instances of discrimination to white "friends" and acquaintances, some of them would challenge him. While they accepted that discrimination happened, they argued that his experiences were not discrimination at all, but a figment of his imagination. They had a million lawyerly games of sophistry to deny the validity of his experiences. He told me that not one of those "discrimination deniers" remained his "friends," and looking back, their reaction to hearing about his experiences was the red flag that gave an early indication of where their "friendship" was headed.
I am bringing this up, as I am reaching out to writers here and there, to see if they might be interested in my big essay and beginning a dialogue about it. And as I do so, I sadly realize that I am going to get a lot of "conspiracy theory" Level 3 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) denial of our experiences. It just comes with the territory of reaching out to the "smart," academics, and scientists. I have adopted the policy that when I receive those "conspiracy theory" challenges, my reply is that my work speaks for itself, and if they do their homework and come up with some good questions, then I might reply, but the ball was in their court to achieve some credibility, not mine. That usually ends the conversation. I have yet to encounter even one person who made the "conspiracy theory" comment regarding my work who ever came close to understanding the situation or made any rational critiques of my work (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false). The good news is that I no longer waste my time with those people, and when they make their "conspiracy theory" challenge, I turn it right back on them and give them an opportunity to show me what they got. I am still waiting. That is one reason why I say that people need some kind of awakening experience (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800) in order to understand my work. Otherwise, their awareness is usually trapped by their conditioning, and they display the kinds of behaviors that led people such as Brian O to wonder if humanity was really a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience).
And it is not just people who are determined to defend their worldview against all evidence who do that, which is why I give them the benefit of the doubt and show me what they got. In the early stages of the Jewish Holocaust, a rare Jew escaped and made it back to his family and neighbors (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#escaped), and quite often, when he tried to tell them what was happening, all he received was denial. It was so far outside of their experience that nobody could believe it. They thought that the escapee had either lost his mind, was lying, imagining it, or greatly exaggerating the events. I have a Jewish friend whose relative had that exact experience, when those he fled to denied the validity of his experiences, and came up with rather elaborate theories to explain away what he experienced, while the Holocaust was happening.
So, that is another variation of what I receive when I relate our experiences. As I have stated, there were times in the aftermath of the Ventura nightmare when I thought that maybe I was insane, but I eventually realized that I was quite sane but living in an insane world. Just last night, I reread the final chapter of Paul Fussell's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#fussell2) Wartime, titled, "The real war will never get in the books." That chapter's title came from Walt Whitman, after interviewing Civil War veterans, but Fussell's masterpiece was about World War II. Fussell said that one of the biggest frustrations of soldiers on the front lines was that the people at home did not know and did not want to know what really happened in war. I recently wrote about Tony Bennett (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=912176&viewfull=1#post912176), who heroically spoke out against the American invasion of Iraq. Bennett was in World War II and called warfare humanity's lowest state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bennett#1995.E2.80.93present:_No_retirement). But the folks at home got the Disney version and still do today. John Steinbeck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Steinbeck#1940s.E2.80.931960s_work) was a war correspondent and later admitted that they were all cheerleaders, and Fussell wrote: "It is true, Steinbeck is aware, that most military operations are examples of 'disorganized insanity,' but the morale on the home front must not be jeopardized by an eyewitness saying so."
I grew up in the Vietnam War and saw innumerable TV shows and movies about World War II while growing up. I watched Fury (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fury_%282014_film%29) in the past month, and hardly a year goes by without another movie about some aspect of World War II coming out. I often watch them, but I am not sure why I still do. Maybe it is so I can keep reminding myself when I hear all the chest-beating today about the "noble" work that the USA is performing in Afghanistan, Iraq (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), and vicinity.

Hi:
Q: Wade, I have encountered challenges to evolution, and they seem persuasive. Is there any validity to them?
A: Not that I have seen. To the uninitiated, those kinds of arguments and evidence can seem persuasive, but if you really dig into them, the arguments and evidence fall apart. On the fringes are many invalid hypotheses, if we will be charitable and call them scientific hypotheses. The big difference between hypotheses and theories made by scientists and those fringe challenges is that the scientific hypotheses deal with the sum total of known evidence (the kind that can ideally be reproduced or has exceptional rigor (such as only one known fossil of a species, but has indisputable provenance)), and the hypotheses are subject to falsification, meaning that they can be proven false.
The challenges to evolution that I have seen usually came from Christians who wanted to make the Book of Genesis literally accurate, with the universe being made in six days, etc. No scientist ever approaches anything that way, trying to make a book right. The Book of Genesis has been falsified many times, if it was the basis for scientific hypotheses. The history of life on Earth, as a process of evolution, which in its essence is one of descent with modification, is the most battle-tested theory in the life sciences. There are no known exceptions (and I know of no cover-up in these areas, as far as fossil evidence goes), and scientists think, for good reason, that all life on Earth today is descended from a single organism that lived billions of years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca). That organism likely was a descendant of hundreds of millions of years of evolution, and evolution before LUCA may always be a matter of speculation, and how life began on Earth may be an eternal mystery. But life after LUCA has adhered to the idea of descent with modification, with no known exceptions.
Even if it turns out that ET civilizations have intervened with the evolutionary process on Earth (and maybe even seeded the first life here), and the human genome in particular (which I consider possible, but the "proofs" of it that fringe theorists have presented are highly speculative and not persuasive), it still will not invalidate the evolutionary process.
That does not mean that I am a materialist or that all scientists are, but materialism is the dominant paradigm. I do not subscribe to materialism myself, as I have seen it falsified, especially regarding materialistic theories of consciousness (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown). There is far more happening than meets the eye. Enlightened scientists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vonneumann) know that materialism is a faith, not a science, as it is based on unproven assumptions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biblical), and the best of them are keenly aware of the limits of scientific inquiry (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical). All too often, scientists have become priests for materialism and equate it with science, and act is if it is the only path to knowledge. Carl Sagan (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) was a notorious practitioner of that faith, called scientism today, and it is often practiced under the Orwellian rubric of "skepticism," when it is not really skeptical at all. As a group, "skeptics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)" are arguably the most dishonest and incompetent group that I have encountered, particularly for a group that supposedly represents the light of reason and honest inquiry. I do not want to pick on them too much, as most areas of professional thought are like this, such as the media (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), the history taught to children (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), medical science (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), and so on.
Because I was in the disruptive energy technology field (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), I discovered how the world really works the hard way, and I came to understand that today's science textbooks resemble cave drawings compared to what is known in the Black Projects world. (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) So, as Bucky Fuller said, science is a slave profession (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#slave), and is actually irrelevant to many big and important issues, but evolution is not one of them. Challenging evolution as a process is one of many instances in which people bark up the wrong tree, in their scientific illiteracy.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, Dennis Lee sure seems like a con man! How could you hook up with somebody like him? That relationship really detracts from your work's credibility.
A: Well, Dennis is a con man of sorts. The word "con man" is short for "confidence man." Dennis is the con man the same way that a salesman, preacher, the USA's president, TV news anchor, etc. are con men and women. They try to get people to "believe" in their message using the arts of persuasion. The difference between a con man as popularly conceived and Dennis was that con men then pulled off a criminal act of theft from their marks. But when I met Dennis, he was doing the opposite of what con men do, as he sold the world's best heating system (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) under the program of putting it on people's homes for free (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), and they did not even have to believe that it worked. It is probably the most brilliant thing that I ever saw him do. Unfortunately, the real con men in that situation – the electric companies and their toadies – wiped out Dennis's company that I first worked for when I was with Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run), and he was never able to resurrect a program like that, although I helped him try.
Ever since those days when I met Dennis, he tried to build programs on a lot of faith, and that is partly why I am not with him anymore. He appealed to people's indoctrinated ideologies, especially the big three – Christianity, American Nationalism, and capitalism – in building his programs. I eventually realized what they all have in common, (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) do not believe in any of them myself, and realized that such an approach would not work for manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), which was what we were essentially pursuing, although we really did not realize it at the time.
I could go on for days about Dennis's approaches, his appeal to faith, and other aspects of what he does and who he is, but the fact is that I have never met or heard of another like him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), and he always put his life where his mouth was. What we did not initially realize, nor did our fellow travelers that we met along the way, was that what we were pursuing on the technology front was accomplished long ago. It is a common understanding in our small circles, and is not based on rumor, but what we experienced. When I told my astronaut colleague what somebody close to me experienced, his reaction was almost a yawn (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and he then asked me what else was new.
Of course, our adventures were rather ridiculous, and a voice in my head led me to Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), but it was not the first time that I asked that voice for guidance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), and I do not want to hear from it anymore (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3). My fellow travelers, who were mainly scientists by training, all had similar mystical awakenings (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#my) and otherworldly guidance. It just comes with the territory, and events that seem preposterous to the masses were our regular companions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures). You do not get to understand how the world really works by punching corporate America's clock, sitting in a cubicle, watching TV, or surfing the Internet, but by experience of chasing big events, such as free energy. Then you get to trip the light fantastic and find out how the world really works. It is nothing like what our indoctrination depicts.
Dennis has a Christian approach to life, as do tens of millions of Americans, and that is actually unusual among my fellow travelers, as we generally took a more mystical approach, but Dennis had a voice in his head (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice), too, which led him on his journey. Dennis calls his voice "God," in the Christian style, while I have no idea who my voice was. I can understand why many are turned off by Dennis's overt Christianity and con man style, but I was with him in spite of those qualities, not because of them, but I had to admit that nobody could stir up action like Dennis could. I never met another entrepreneur like him.
Regarding my own work and its credibility, it speaks for itself. When I have had the credibility of my work assailed, it always essentially came down to the assailants admitting that they were not there to witness it, and they prefer to deny the validity of our experiences because they never saw that view from their cubicles or on TV, at least in non-fiction programs. Of course, the reporting of our experiences, although heavily documented (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier), is only a small portion of my site. Most of it deals with information that is easily verified, particularly the iconoclastic information, and I have yet to see one such critic of my work make an honest, rational, and informed effort (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false). So, I am far more "skeptical" of my critics than they are of my work, and my association with Dennis is what it is. You do not see me spout Christian, American, or capitalist ideology in my work. In fact, I poke holes through them regularly. Literalist interpretations of the Bible are way off base (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales), IMO, and American ideology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#weems) (and all imperialist ideology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ww2)) is based on fairy tales and lies of omission (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint), as is capitalist ideology (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists).
Could Dennis's initial free energy idea work? Probably not, although variations of it might (any), and some pretty high-powered scientists thought it could work. For me, however, the theoretical arguments become meaningless compared to the working technologies that those close to me witnessed (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal). All the theory in the world pales next to that, no matter if orthodox theory pronounced such technologies "impossible." The history of science is filled with such "impossible (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wright)" pronouncements, and the scientists making such statements regularly later had to wipe the egg off their faces. I have encountered numerous such "impossible" technologies in my journey, and many are easily verified, but they are pointedly ignored or suppressed by the mainstream, sometimes violently, but are usually just frozen out and treated like they don't exist. People probably have to witness some of that before they begin to understand.
When people try to discredit my work by citing my association with Dennis, or Brian O'Leary, or Noam Chomsky, I found that they were always using it to try to distract from my work and get it caught up in issues that were little more than gossip. The world's leading authorities have lauded the parts of my work where they had expertise (1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo), 2 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn)), so I know its merit, and my assailants were always irrational, dishonest, or never did their homework, and some assailants may have been professionals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll).
I have to hide some identities in my writings, to protect the guilty and the innocent (which any writer like me faces), but most of those names are easily discovered with a modicum of effort. So, those kinds of "unsupportable" criticisms again fall flat. I may reveal more identities after more people die, but that may not happened for many years. If anybody really begins digging into such issues, my tale becomes far more credible, not less.
My association with Dennis is perhaps my life's greatest honor, and I wear that badge proudly, and if people want to discredit my work because of my association with Dennis, they have some strenuous work ahead of them to establish their own credibility.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
This has been written about here before, but it was just on Yahoo!'s front page, on Detroit's swift decline (https://homes.yahoo.com/blogs/spaces/a-stark--unsentimental-look-at-detroit-s-rapid-slide-202246171.html). Incredible. If there is a silver lining there, it is that the ruins are being razed to the ground.

Hi:
And it is not just people who are determined to defend their worldview against all evidence who do that, which is why I give them the benefit of the doubt and show me what they got. In the early stages of the Jewish Holocaust, a rare Jew escaped and made it back to his family and neighbors (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#escaped), and quite often, when he tried to tell them what was happening, all he received was denial. It was so far outside of their experience that nobody could believe it. They thought that the escapee had either lost his mind, was lying, imagining it, or greatly exaggerating the events. I have a Jewish friend whose relative had that exact experience, when those he fled to denied the validity of his experiences, and came up with rather elaborate theories to explain away what he experienced, while the Holocaust was happening.
Hello Wade,
These are almost insurmountable challenges to one's psych and it streches the soul to the limit. When it comes to Jewish Holocaust survivors they could be divided to two (Unequal parts). Those who were able to talk about it and did so possibly as a therapeutic method and with a sense of mission over and over again for many years, and those who kept silent (the majority), defeated by the inflicted trauma.
The isolation of an 'informed' individual is a conditioning that is contingent on the psych of those around him, when the ability to expand the boundaries of their own experience is almost nonexistent
The other thing is that they don't want to hear, subconciously knowing that some kind of difficulty or breakdown in perception is almost guaranteed which will effect their world, and the known and familiar (even if devil) is considered- safety.
When someone with such experiences happened to be on that side of the table, they are almost always bound to lend their ear even if what is told to them is not in the sphere of their events
And you may very well fall into this category, and this may probably be why you say that people need some kind of awakening experience in order to understand your work
It is an honor to be able to read it and hear your story, Thank you ~

Dear Wade
I was putting off reading your essay until I was settled at Nuama (that's a long story and I hope to share that journey on this forum) but I decided today that there is no better to start than now, so I have started the big read of the big essay...!
Please would you add links to your essay and your websites at the bottom of every post. I think this would facilitate greater access to your work. To do this, you need to go into settings for your profile and add the relevant links. We have a great team of moderators and admin folk on this forum so I am sure they will help you to do so.
Thank you so very much for the work you do and for the path you walk in life. So far, I am enjoying reading your big essay and hope that it will facilitate the opening of many doors in my mind so that I can have access to more information and experiences in this lifetime!

I happened to think about it in relations to your massive work, Wade. It takes courage to even contemplate this after such an enormouse investment, or just sheer plain integrity. True, perheps if Et's have seeded the first human prototype on earth then the evolutionary process itself is still 'man-made', but what if cataclysmic events (not the extinction of the mega-fauna which is without doubt human 'achievment', but a bolide event and simliar) were ET made, and the fourth epochal event - The industrial revolution has all the hallmarks of ET intervention for those who can read the signs, and the Armament race is almost proven with that, for those who can hear the stories and extract the evidence. Humans may have been left to develop on their own for quite a while, but the last thousands of years directive towards either Fifth Epocal event or Sixth Mass Extinction has ET imprints all over it, and there might be players that thrive for each way. By all accounts, Free Energy is a good option in the earth petri-dish.

Hi Limor:
Your Holocaust survivor "camps" are very much like soldier camps, for those who saw combat. Those who really saw combat rarely sat around the campfire telling war stories. Those who survived the experience almost never talked about it and tried to forget it, and almost nobody in their lives wanted to hear it, anyway. The rare Eugene Sledge (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#sledge) wrote about it, usually as a form of self-therapy. I once met a man with the tattoo of his concentration camp number on his arm, and I doubt that there was any way that he would discuss the experience, but he seemed truly happy to be alive (this is nearly 40 years ago).
Being an American, I have known many former soldiers, and those who saw combat never talked about it, and a recent experience was a friend who never admitted that he even saw combat (in Vietnam) for the first 30 years or so that I knew him, and he still did not want to discuss it, but I heard about it through a mutual friend. My first psychologist specialized in treating soldiers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#therapy), I was a great candidate for this therapy, and it helped. Yes, other than Dennis, I am the only person who will publicly write about our adventures. Almost everybody else is dead, licking their wounds, hiding out, laying low, and so on. I do not do it out of sense of therapy (I did in the early days, but not really any longer) so much as a teaching device, for those who can understand it, and yes, that is partly why I say that people probably need some kind of awakening experience (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=872800&viewfull=1#post872800) before they can begin to shed their indoctrination and begin to understand. Those who got their awakening experiences because they followed their hearts, such as Ralph McGehee (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), get the most valuable ones. Dennis, Brian, I, and my few relatively fellow travelers usually had similar kinds of awakening experiences. Often enough, we nearly did not survive them (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice).
OK, anecdote time. This one will be relevant to recent writings of mine, and I will reveal another couple of names, as I also did in the past few days (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm). I posted up "Mr. Financier's (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier)" account of what happened in Seattle, and anybody who gets Dennis's The Alternative knows that Mr. Financier's real name was John Spickard, and his company's name was Selectors. I am revealing their names because John is almost certainly dead (he looked to be in his 70s when I met him in 1986 – I just looked him up, and he would be 99 if he was still alive, which I doubt) and Selectors is out of business, as far as I can tell (but they will likely always be anonymous on my site). It was probably gutted by the thieves that stole it and did not last long. Again, this will be another little vignette of literally hundreds that I could write about my days with Dennis, and some background is in order.
When Dennis's business deals began being scuttled in Seattle, and a bank official told Dennis that somebody was actively screwing him from behind the scenes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle1), Dennis did not have any idea yet that it was the electric companies. Dennis then decided that he needed to look outside the Seattle area for a company to finance his effort, and in a rare instance, John saw the genius of what Dennis was doing. John was an Old School entrepreneur who built his finance company from scratch, playing against the Big Boys in Spokane, and you had to be wily and resourceful to survive in that shark tank. Like the Chairman of the Board of that Fortune 500 company (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#billion), John understood the business play that Dennis was making and was enthralled by it. Like that chairman, John had little, if any, of the humanitarian motivation that Dennis did, but saw a play that could be worth billions, and wanted to get in on the ground floor. But John played the game honestly, and why I am even bringing this situation up is that Dennis said that John did what I did when I raised the money to be his partner (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=915432&viewfull=1#post915432), in that John gave shares of his company to friends and family members, so they could all share in his prosperity. Their betrayals were partly why John had his company stolen from him a couple of weeks before Dennis had his company stolen, and this situation will take a little telling.
Not only did Dennis believe the full-page ads that the electric companies ran in the wake of the Whoops disaster (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#whoops) and think that they would throw him a tickertape parade (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#naive), he also had no idea that the Mormon Church was one of the biggest investors in Washington's electric companies. When I saw Steven Greer write, a generation later, that the Mormon financial empire was one of the Godzilla's biggest members (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mormon), it made perfect sense to me, as Mormons were triggermen in taking us out in Seattle and Ventura, after they infiltrated our operations, and the Mormon connection with Dennis's Seattle takedown began with John's company. When Dennis joined the Patriot Movement several years later, the Mormon Church reportedly threatened to ex-communicate any Church members who joined Dennis's effort. A Mormon-owned newspaper then libeled Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), which Mr. Skeptic used in his libelous work.
As soon as John became involved, he wanted a piece of Dennis's company, and he encouraged Dennis to buy a shell company to quickly take his company public, so that John's company could get a nice chunk of it (10% (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#finance)). A youngster working at John's company, a Mormon, introduced Dennis to a company that had a shell for sale. Those people with the shell stole John's and Dennis's companies. How much they were part of the larger effort to wipe Dennis out in Seattle may always be an open question for me, but I think that Dennis believes they were related. As you can see in John's statement (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier), he believed that the theft of his and Dennis's companies were related, as the same people stole both companies, assisted on the inside by John's and Dennis's trusted people, my boss in Dennis's instance (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042), and some of the very people who John gave stock in his company to in the other.
Again, many lives were ruined by the snuff job that the electric companies inflicted on Dennis's effort, and his employee's violent death (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), courtesy of Bill the BPA Hit Man, was Dennis's first radicalizing moment in his energy adventures, but far from his last. When the hammer came down repeatedly on the company, it began to look like they would not get those systems installed by the end of 1985, when the tax credit expired (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), and John's company would have been wrecked. John then had his moment of truth with Dennis, in late 1985, when Dennis demanded $1 million, per the terms of his contract with John's company, to get those systems built and installed by year-end. When John balked, Dennis told John to his face that he would have been legally entitled to use that $1 million to buy back his stock at a deep discount and leave town with that $1 million, and John could carry his bags to the plane. John paid it, and Dennis used it all to get those systems built and installed, and Dennis proved his integrity under fire once again, and that kind of behavior was behind John writing that statement several years later. We knew who Dennis was: he proved it to us.
That kid at John's company came to work for us in Seattle (I just looked the kid up – he is about my age – and he works in the electric industry today; coincidence? :) ), and his dad worked at the company that sold Dennis the shell. When they made the play to steal Dennis's company, the kid finally saw the blood of what the family "business" caused people to shed, and it messed him up pretty good, seeing the first "hit" that he participated in.
I do not want to get too far into the mechanics of the theft of Dennis's company in Seattle, but what the owners of the shell company did was steal back the company they sold Dennis, as they said that they had not properly ratified the shell deal with Dennis's company, so his 85% ownership of his company was void and only the validly issued stock was voting stock, and Selectors's 10% became 65% of the "outstanding" stock, and John attended the shareholders' meeting, where the stock that his company had, now stolen from him, was voted by the thieves of his company to also steal Dennis's company. In theory, if they did not give Dennis any ownership of the stock, then Dennis could rescind the entire deal and now own his private company. But that was not how it worked out, and John and Dennis both witnessed the theft of his company via the theft of John's, and the employees cheered as the theft was complete. It was my first awakening moment in my ride with Dennis (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#finance).
For those of you who are not business people, here is an analogy that might make sense. Suppose that you had your life's savings in hand, and decided to open a new account at a bank that recruited you to deposit your money with them. You went to the bank, filled out the paperwork, and then shook hands with the bank president as he took your money. Sometime later, you went to make a withdrawal, and the bank president said that there was a document that he did not sign, that made your bank account invalid. So, you then asked for your money back, and the bank president said that since he did not fill out that form, that your deposit was now owned by the bank. Your life's savings, gone like that, and the banker then told you to have a nice day as security ushered you out onto the sidewalk. That is essentially what happened to Dennis in Seattle, after his company had already been wrecked by the electric companies and their minions. Anybody with a modicum of horse sense would say, "Hey, they can't do that!" I wish I had a dollar for every time that I saw one of Dennis's lawyers say that when the judges made rulings that essentially said that what that bank did was legal. When Dennis's lawyers exclaimed in shock, "They can't do that!", the judge replied with a grin," Watch this!" Mr. Big Time Attorney nearly got disbarred (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bigtime) when he filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Ventura County officials for activities that made what happened in Seattle resemble a child's prank. Even though Mr. Big Time Attorney had defeated the IRS in the USA's Supreme Court the year before he took Dennis's case, he got a rude awakening in California as he was treated like something unpleasant the judges stepped on an unceremoniously wiped from the soles of their shoes.
I could go on and on about that theft of Dennis's company in Seattle, but I will cut it short and just note that when that old girlfriend repeatedly attacked me (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=578559&viewfull=1#post578559), and she was about my smallest shareholder, Dennis told me to get rid of her, fast. Pay her twice what she invested and be done with her, as she would later be a weak link that would be used by the unscrupulous to take us down. Little did I know that my old girlfriend's attacks were only a gentle preview of my next couple of years. You could not have convinced me what I was in for (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr).

Hi Limor:
ETs and me would be a long story. I touch on it in my essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2), and leave many of the dots unconnected because I do not know, and could not provide much solid evidence anyway. There is a blizzard of disinformation out there, not too dissimilar from the three-ring-circus around FE, and those circuses are related (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spacemining). I take most ET tales with a grain of salt. Until they come into the open, if they ever come into the open, it will all be just a bunch of speculation and fairy tales. I try to keep my writings close to my personal experiences and those of my close inner circles and evidence that people can check out for themselves. The rest of it I leave alone. A lot may be legit, but a lot of it is certainly disinformation purveyed by various parties for various reasons. I am guided by my spiritual understandings in these matters, and almost do not care what the ETs may be up to. It is up to us to learn to paddle our own canoe, such is the developmental path of sentient species.

Hi:
Before signing off for the evening, I want to make a post on all of those "outside" influences that people obsess over, whether they are "good" or "bad." I once knew an ET contactee who was "abducted" nearly every night for years. They were the standard "grays," and each abduction overwhelmed him with fear, and as he also did spiritual work over the years (he claimed "walk in" status and channeled various entities, etc., and I had a reading from him once), he eventually began to get his arms around what may have been happening with the "abductions," and then one day, instead of the fear of anticipation that he had, and the fear he had during the abductions, he looked forward to that night's "abduction" with what almost could be called pleasure, and they never came again.
I have written about the dozens and dozens of channeling sessions I have attended, readings I have had, and the like (around 100 in total, I would imagine). When I had dozens of sessions with Seth over the years, in the late 1980s, perhaps the most important message that I got from Seth was his first (as I was literally on my way to Dennis in Boston (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing)), when he said to meet him as an equal (as I met one of my "heroes" from my early adulthood), and to not put him on some kind of pedestal. In my FE writings, I have often stated that approaching the "rich (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich) and powerful (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1)" was always a prescription for failure. What virtually everybody does in these and related fields is look to the ETs, Godzilla (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), the Ascended Masters, the Black Hats, the White Hats, the governments, the corporations, the "philanthropists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy1)," etc., etc., as either the source of our ruin or salvation. Looking to any of them for any of that is playing the victim. We are here to learn how to be creators, and creators create with love. Looking to any outside agency for our salvation, or blaming any of them for our ruin, is what victims do, and when we do that, we are not hitting the notes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). I am about hitting the notes, as I see it as the only way out of our self-created mess.
The story of the journey of life on Earth as pieced together by our scientists is fascinating, and I share their sense of wonder (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wonder), and it is time to begin to behave like the sentient species that we allegedly are (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric). Only then will we turn the corner as a species. Otherwise, it may be game over (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). The "Space Brothers" are not going to save us, and the grays are not going to enslave us, no matter how appearances might seem. If 0.0001% of us collectively wake up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), all those games of manipulation, opportunity for dark games, "saving" us, and the like will end, and we will begin to walk a creator's path, not a victim's. That is what we are here to learn, and the path to it has to be consistent with the goal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist), and that means that it has be an effort grounded in love and enlightenment. That is the name of my game, and I have my good days and bad days, too, as nobody here gets off easy. :)
Good night,

I am only an observer.
I see things through feelings and that triggers memories and then I can somehow try to comprehend my world.
Your gift is your ability to remember upon command. It is a wonderful gift and I say this not out of any sense of jealousy but of gratitude that you might share it. Well, you gave your work away and so none of the American rackets can take over what you have written and I suppose that in the end this will be an achievement....
And of course in a few moments I will forget what I wrote...;)
Of course evolution would say that its only a set of chemical reactions but of course any feeling person would say that its simply more complicated than that and maybe you are our own Australopithecus?
Did I get the right scientific term?...:o
And of course your posts are not to brag up your knowledge but to connect dots for folks who are scientifically literate who will read these things and the dots that you connect and who weather in government or in powerful private enterprises will read these things and they will be in a position to make a positive change....
I would suspect to experts these things that you write about in your grand essay are grand overviews or the big picture that many fine scientists have lost due to their training or other factors....
Would I be so off base to suggest that uncle Noam's grand work "The Manufacturing of Consent" might have been his life time grand work?
I highly recommend uncle Noam's vid and its all over youtube....
I watched a video on youtube of uncle Noam speaking a few months after 9/11 and his take on cui bono....that analysis still stands IMO to this day....
Who benefited ...but the usual suspects....

I watched how he lived with that one Wade...
Only to find out later that this was how the cold war got started...dad had a first hand seat to history knowing in the end that its all lies and BS...
Many in the alternative media say that Putin and Russia are humanities savior and of course if Dad were alive he would call this a bunch of poppy cock and as Fuller said there is no political solution to this mess....

Wade,
I have a question and am as a former evangelical much afraid and shammed to ask...
But a very dear loved one whom is still trapped in the above asks about feelings about being a lesbien....
I looked it up upon Wade's golden internet as some sort of gift and found this...
"Gay can mean lesbian, but lesbian cannot always mean gay.
Female/Female= gay or lesbian, by terminology
Male/Male= gay only
guys, we should come up with our own special word equivalent to lesbian."
I only have more questions with such comments upon the net...
I would think that the term is choice....
I told my fundemental wife that I love her forever and always but the truth is?
So as it would seem lesbian's have an advantage in the game....
How does one homeschool his kids upon the most fundimental christian principals and have one end up in jail and the other a lesbien....
and I consouled my pal....but its all a lie...all of it ...maybe...what those evangelicals preach...
god forbid
they infest our military and many ...other organs of power...
When put in such terms things through the fog look a bit ...
less foggy....

Another question Wade, if I might...
Jesus said...
Love your enemies...
Of course when you are an evangelical christian everyone is your enemy....
many say Jews are the same....
and most Americans say that those who follow true Islam are the same also...
History at least according to Wade says that Islam preserved learning from the Roman era and created the Renaissance....
Since I left evangelicalism as Americans call it I am looking for truth....
Some say that it is a combination of both chemical reactions and concientiousness....
Our Wade deffinately has the chemical reactions upon his side...
much lov

Hi:
Before signing off for the evening, I want to make a post on all of those "outside" influences that people obsess over, whether they are "good" or "bad." I once knew an ET contactee who was "abducted" nearly every night for years. They were the standard "grays," and each abduction overwhelmed him with fear, and as he also did spiritual work over the years (he claimed "walk in" status and channeled various entities, etc., and I had a reading from him once), he eventually began to get his arms around what may have been happening with the "abductions," and then one day, instead of the fear of anticipation that he had, and the fear he had during the abductions, he looked forward to that night's "abduction" with what almost could be called pleasure, and they never came again.
I have written about the dozens and dozens of channeling sessions I have attended, readings I have had, and the like (around 100 in total, I would imagine). When I had dozens of sessions with Seth over the years, in the late 1980s, perhaps the most important message that I got from Seth was his first (as I was literally on my way to Dennis in Boston (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing)), when he said to meet him as an equal (as I met one of my "heroes" from my early adulthood), and to not put him on some kind of pedestal. In my FE writings, I have often stated that approaching the "rich (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich) and powerful (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1)" was always a prescription for failure. What virtually everybody does in these and related fields is look to the ETs, Godzilla (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), the Ascended Masters, the Black Hats, the White Hats, the governments, the corporations, the "philanthropists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy1)," etc., etc., as either the source of our ruin or salvation. Looking to any of them for any of that is playing the victim. We are here to learn how to be creators, and creators create with love. Looking to any outside agency for our salvation, or blaming any of them for our ruin, is what victims do, and when we do that, we are not hitting the notes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). I am about hitting the notes, as I see it as the only way out of our self-created mess.
The story of the journey of life on Earth as pieced together by our scientists is fascinating, and I share their sense of wonder (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wonder), and it is time to begin to behave like the sentient species that we allegedly are (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric). Only then will we turn the corner as a species. Otherwise, it may be game over (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). The "Space Brothers" are not going to save us, and the grays are not going to enslave us, no matter how appearances might seem. If 0.0001% of us collectively wake up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), all those games of manipulation, opportunity for dark games, "saving" us, and the like will end, and we will begin to walk a creator's path, not a victim's. That is what we are here to learn, and the path to it has to be consistent with the goal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist), and that means that it has be an effort grounded in love and enlightenment. That is the name of my game, and I have my good days and bad days, too, as nobody here gets off easy. :)
Good night,
Wade

Hi:
First, eaglespirit, glad it resonated. That post is probably the essence of my message, which took many years to hone, after my strange journey.
Gee, Nine, you put a lot on the table last night. :) Ah, an ego trap can be deciding what I best bring to the table, and the memory helps, but I rank it down a ways, myself. I know that I bring a unique mix to the table, which made me foolish enough to do my public writing, and thinking it was important enough to devote my life to it. If I had to rank them, it would go something like this:
Overgrown Boy Scout (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts);
Radicalizing journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), led by that voice (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice);
The influences of my fellow travelers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures);
Mystical awakening (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva);
Old Artisan soul who (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading) integrates information in creative ways;
High IQ and nearly photographic memory;
Groomed as a scientist from a young age (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm);
Member of history's most privileged demographic group (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar).
So, I do not rank memory all that high, and it is starting to fail! :) Of course, then there were the perils of the journey. The magnitude of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) overwhelms most people's egos (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and I have had my challenges and failures over the years. My wife says that arrogance is my greatest challenge, but my Michael reading said impatience, and I'll buy that. Wanting to know it all has made me seem like a know-it-all at times, and I am sympathetic to that perception. I am an introverted semi-nerd who is emotionally centered, which brings its own challenges, which I have not always handled well. In my old age, I try to play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses. My life was largely destroyed by my journey, but I was young enough to survive it, and the result of that journey was spending all those years performing the study and writing (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books) that became my site. I have repeatedly been told by those I respect that there is nothing else like it on Earth, and I'll buy that. Will it help enough so that humanity turns the corner? Can I get a choir (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) built around it that will make a dent? I am trying to find out, and have been resisting my impatience the entire way, and am in no hurry to make something happen. This will need deep and strong roots if it is going to make a dent, and that cannot be rushed, but must grow roots in those who will sing with me.
That kind of segues to Uncle Noam. As he has stated, he did his political work so that he could look himself in the mirror each morning, and I recognize that overgrown Boy Scout in him, which I do in my fellow travelers. Our consciences would not let us walk away from it, constantly nagging us. Noam has nothing to worry about when he passes over. He won't be joining Max (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell). :) Neither will my fellow travelers. We will all end up in some kind of Boy Scout reality. :) As far as what his most important work is, my guess is that he would not think it was his professional work as a linguist, although he is considered the Einstein of his field. What an embarrassment of riches to choose from. As I have stated, Noam really does not like (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent:_Noam_Chomsky_and_the_Media) the movie Manufacturing Consent, as he feels that it misrepresented his work. In that light, if I had to say what his magnum opus was, it might have been the book Manufacturing Consent (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#manufacturing), written with Uncle Ed. Their earlier writings about the USA's imperial ideology and political economy, which the publishing establishment went to great lengths to prevent being published (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#straw), and about which lies are told to this day to discredit Noam, was also a vitally important work and a prelude to Manufacturing Consent. I imagine that Uncle Ed will look back at those works similarly, although, like Noam, he has an embarrassment of riches to choose from. Boy, are they ever going to leave behind some gigantic shoes to fill (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm).
Mark Twain likely felt that his anti-imperialist writings were his most important, although they are his least known today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#twain), so it looks like Noam will escape that fate, which shows that some progress has been made.
Mom living to be 100. Congrats. My wife's grandmother lived to be 102, and my wife is heading down that path, and I think that I am supposed to outlive her, so I have my work cut out for me. On your father in World War II, one of my grandfathers was crippled in World War I (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#influenza), and the other was in World War II (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas), and my father was in the Korean War (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). I grew up around that disillusionment and heartache, but did not question that I would go the soldier's route to manhood. What a FUBAR-ed nation. :(
I write plenty about sex in my big essay, from the very beginnings (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sex). People are way too hung up on sex, similar to how they are hung up on eating (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons). It is all pre-sentient stuff that needs to take a back seat. I guarantee that in this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), they are not hung up on sex, eating, and imbibing inebriants to get through their days. There are vastly larger and more fulfilling games to play, and they are based on love, the kind that springs from our hearts, not our bellies or loins.
Back to work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have been doing a little reading today, and I just read two analyses that show me how limited understanding and analysis are without putting energy in its proper place. This article is about the benefits of war (http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/04/the-slaughter-bench-of-history/360534/?single_page=true), and this one (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/01/140116162019.htm) is about the collapse of Harappan civilization. I read them via reading a Peak Oiler analysis (http://dieoff.org). I have been aware of his work since about 2003. That Peak Oiler analysis is better than that war analysis, for instance, but I have never been able to reach a Peak Oiler, or really anybody with an ideological commitment. They get on their particular reasoning track and can't break it. Even when you show a Peak Oiler that energy does not need to be scarce and always running out after brief Golden Ages (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages), they just can't shake their addiction to scarcity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation). At least they have a good understanding of the role of energy, unlike most other analysts (who are generally scientifically illiterate, hence their superficial social theories, etc.).
As Fuller noted, all wars have always been based in scarcity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#soldier), energy scarcity in particular, which is kind of redundant, as energy makes everything available. All wars are, at their root, economic affairs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1). Unless an analysis of warfare begins with understanding the ultimate reason (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), the rest will be of dubious validity.
The Harappan collapse is a good example of the competing explanations just being different ways of describing how the civilization ran out of energy. All early civilizations were extremely harsh affairs, with an extremely thin agricultural surplus. All early civilizations engaged in deforestation and farming that depleted the soils, which damaged the forests' and soil's role in the hydrological cycle. Even where the water was piped in, such as in Sumer, the agricultural practices wrecked the soils (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#salination1), which was the basis of the civilization. While the proximate cause was often a drought, the ultimate cause was always that the civilizations were never energetically sustainable (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses). It turns out that the inherent instability in several-level food chains are thought to be the ultimate reason for nearly all mass extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cascade) in the eon of complex life.
So, when civilizations with thin surpluses suddenly lost them, it became everybody for themselves, and those in the lower classes suffered the most, as that Harappan study clearly showed. As with the Anasazi and Mayan collapses (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#anasazi), there was long a school of thought that argued that the Harappan peoples lived in peaceful and seemingly enlightened civilizations that peacefully dissolved, and a New Age idea was that the Mayans and Anasazis "ascended." As with recent Harappan findings, it was the same old story of a violent collapse after a grim and sometimes relatively sudden decline.
A similar sea change came in the anthropological view of "primitive" societies in the late 20th century, as the neo-Rousseauian "peaceful savage (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbes)" theme was a dogma that is now known to be false. There are extremely few "Golden Ages (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages)" of the human past, and they were all based on tapping a new energy resource and enjoying it until it was rapidly depleted, and the most recent example is the USA's postwar boom (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar). Energy consumption peaked with the first energy crisis, and it has been all downhill from there (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert). Scientists are finally seeing that dynamic and are generalizing it, and until the social sciences and other intellectuals adopt that framework, their analytics and proposed "solutions" are going to be delusional.

Hi:
Quickly, before I go to bed, I continually see these kinds of harbingers of doom (http://www.theautomaticearth.com/what-if-the-world-cant-cut-its-carbon-emissions/), and with FE, problem solved (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pollution), nearly overnight. And I have been reaching out to various authors like that, and I almost never hear back, but I expect the process to be a slow one, searching for needles.

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, is there someplace I can go to see an FE device in action?
A: Not that I know of, at least where the public is invited. The situation is similar to UFOs. You can go places where you can see them in the distance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), but if they come close, the military shoots at them. The UFO/ET reality is suppressed for the same reason why FE is suppressed: so that global elites can keep their death grip on humanity. My astronaut pal nearly died (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack) immediately after rejecting an "offer" from the USA's military to perform classified UFO research. He did not believe that his rejection of their "offer" and his brush with death, which ruined his health and shortened his life, were unrelated.
Similarly, if you risk your life playing the FE game, which my surviving fellow travelers have often done, you may get an FE show like one fellow traveler did (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Also, if you keep your ear close to the ground and become a known player in the field, you also may be invited to an FE inventor's workshop, which is in his home or garage often enough, and see his prototype working. Some of my FE fellow travelers have done that (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#sweet), and some prototypes are legit in that they are accessing the zero-point field (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal). My astronaut pal traveled the world for several years, visiting FE labs and workshops, and saw working prototypes. He also witnessed organized suppression of the good stuff, which could be fatal (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky). Working prototypes are a far cry from something that could power a home (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#guerilla), and my astronaut pal likened those prototypes to the Wright brothers' first planes, which were a long way from carrying passengers and freight across the skies. And like how the Wright brothers were initially received (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#wright), the scientific establishment is willfully ignorant of the entire FE field and dismisses it all (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) as "contrary to the laws of physics," and dismisses evidence of organized suppression (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) as a "conspiracy theory (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive)." My astronaut pal said that the denial in mainstream science today is worse than it was in the Wright brothers' day, after he spent several years playing the Paul Revere of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere), to alert his scientific colleagues about what was happening. After his sobering ride, he openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience).
Q: Wade, what are the hazards of FE?
A: You mean not the hazard to the FE inventor, of organized suppression and the like? If you mean the hazards of using FE devices, there are some, as with any technology. I have heard rumors that the field induced by FE devices can be harmful for people's health if they are in close proximity, so it is possible that FE devices would need to be shielded or placed away from people and life forms, but it does not seem like it would have to be far. If it was powering a home, for instance, it might have to be in its own room in the "basement" or something similar. Some garage inventors have reported such health effects, but I would imagine that in the labs run by the Global Controllers, those problems have been resolved. I have even heard rumors that galactic civilizations powered by FE technology that taps the zero-point field have "slowed down" the evolution of their corner of the galaxy. I am not sure if that is seen as a negative outcome, and the ETs that visit Earth are using FE, antigravity, and other "exotic" technologies, and I believe that they have solved any "harmful" effects of using those technologies, and we can seek their guidance if/when the veil of secrecy finally lifts.
The "hazards" that most people think of regarding the use of FE devices are the social and political changes, as the world will end as we know it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). But what can replace it looks a lot like heaven on Earth, so their fears (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) seem misplaced, and they just prefer the devil they know over the unknown, even if the unknown is heavenly. If we get past those fears, which are really the primary fears that people have, in their addiction to scarcity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), they often bring up the possibility of weaponizing FE or using it to strip-mine the planet and wrecking the environment even more than humanity already has. But those fears also seem misplaced. There will still be governance systems, but they will look nothing like today's. I foresee the primary role of government being safety and seeing to the welfare of every human, not the power and control games that we see today. All territorial ideologies will disappear, as FE and related technologies such as antigravity will make geographical boundaries obsolete, and there will no longer be political entities called nations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations).
One asteroid can easily provide all of humanity's material needs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining), not to mention uninhabited planets, so mining Earth will quickly be seen as insane and universally outlawed. Similarly, all warfare has been based on economic scarcity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1), and FE means material abundance for all humans, so the motivation for war also disappears. Those who deny and fear FE, because they cannot imagine an end of scarcity and warfare are similar to people who lived before the rise of machines and could not imagine that slavery could ever end as an institution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas). We have had nuclear weapons for nearly 70 years, and we all seem to still be here. I advocate a global peacekeeping force (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) to ensure that FE is not weaponized (the technical tools to do that likely already exist (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647)), until everybody realizes how insane such a mentality is in a world of abundance. People on the spiritual dark path (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), who often do quite well in today's world of scarcity and fear and comprise a large fraction of the global elites, are going to be frustrated, but that is too bad for them. They are those most behind the suppression of the ET presence and FE and related technologies, and they have my sympathy, but their games are destroying Earth's inhabitability, and they know it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars). It is time for the evil games to end. Maybe such people can be rehabilitated, or they will have to find new planets to dominate.

Hi:
Choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, will you discuss FE physics in your forum and publish blueprints for FE devices?
A: Those days may come, but they are likely a long ways off. I have published why Dennis's heat pump was the best that has ever been on the world market (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), and why Mr. Mentor's engine was the best ever made for powering an automobile (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). Anybody could go try to build them. I have had an almost continual presence on the Internet since 1996 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#philly), and I am still waiting to see even one good discussion of either of those technologies, and while they were the world's best, there was nothing about them that was the slightest bit unorthodox, from a physics and thermodynamics perspective. FE physics is another matter altogether, and FE physics shreds today's physics texts, and are not easy for scientists to wrap their heads around, much less the largely lay audience that I seek to interact with.
I have published some links to FE physics presentations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), but only because I knew that the related technology worked, as reported by world-class scientists close to me. If I ever see a rational discussion of Sparky Sweet's paper, that will be something, but FE physics talk can really be unproductive and play right into the FE field's arrested development, as it is dominated by scientists and inventors. Inventors are regularly overcome by delusions of grandeur, announce that that they are the Second Coming (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), etc., while presenting some pretty flimsy physics and demonstrating little of any relevance to FE. I wrote my big essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) in order to get the FE conversation onto a larger stage, where the obsession was not on the inventor of the hour and the Messiah who is going to save us all, which is all at about the gossip level.
I make nods toward mainstream physicists, of world-class standing, who argued that the zero-point field was a potential source of energy, such as Einstein's protégé (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bohm), and note that one of history's greatest polymaths (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vonneumann) argued that consciousness was required to collapse waveforms into particles, which is at the very bedrock of today's physics. I also note some extant technologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#naessens) that "defy the laws of physics," which are marginalized to this day. Other than a scientist here and there, nobody pursues them or even seems very aware of them. Also, I have been in the vicinity of FE inventors and scientists when they received death threats from Godzilla's minions for trying to explain technologies that they were familiar with, and saw them cowed into silence. I also know that those technologies and their related physics have been developed to a high degree in the Black Projects world (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but while the mass of humanity is fast asleep, it will not receive the benefit of such technologies.
So, FE physics discussions may happen, but not until long after I can get a robust discussion of just the garden-variety physics and alternative energy technologies. Nearly every FE newcomer wants to leap straight to the finish line and The Muppet Movie ending, before anybody does the hard work needed to develop a sufficient awareness so that an FE effort has a prayer of success. Lone wolf inventors sure don't have a chance. A bunch of garage inventors are not going to get it done, even if they claim that they are the Messiah. :) Similarly, nobody is going to publish any workable blueprints anytime soon, at least from the public, on how to build an FE device. It is a lot harder than it looks, and there is a major delusion that there is an army of competent and properly motivated and capable garage tinkerers who will be able to turn a blueprint into something that can power their homes. It may well have something to do with Hollywood movies that depict such situations (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=915862&viewfull=1#post915862), and I have been astounded at the naïveté on that matter, even with aerospace professionals.
So, that FE physics conversation will likely be had one day in my forum, but it will be in a corner of it, and scientists will be involved, not the lay audience so much. But such a conversation is going to be all talk and nothing demonstrated, and for talk that "defies the laws of physics," I can respect scientists who wonder what the point is. They want to see falsifiable hypotheses come from such talk, and they probably are not going get many, and even then, it will all fall way short of an FE device that they can touch and test. I have had my hands on FE prototypes, and those around me have seen them in action, but it sure is not going to convince the "skeptical." Only a prototype subject to robust testing, which does not immediately "disappear" from the scene, is going to be very convincing to those types, and I can't blame them. They are not my target audience.
My work is not about talking up FE physics, but I can see the conversations getting there one day, but that will be far closer to the finish line than the beginning, and my effort is in its initial stages.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As I have written, Americans are not my target audience. They are so brainwashed, brain-dead, end egocentric that truly almost nobody is home, as the imperial juggernaut rolls along, like Rome did….until it crashed, and the wheels are definitely coming off, and have been since energy consumption peaked in the 1970s (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert). I have written that slavery ended as an institution with industrialization (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend), but that did not mean that exploitation did, although forcing people to murder each other (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend) is no longer considered entertainment. So, progress has been made, but it is far less than the propaganda and indoctrination systems make them seem.
I have been writing about the USA's prison system (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#prison) since the 1990s. I have written about how when Dennis was kangarooed into prison, prison officials repeatedly put him into position to be murdered (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), and it was blatant from his first day there what the program was, and as Dennis survived one situation designed to get him murdered, the officials created others. Dennis should not have survived, but he did once again, in his "charmed" life. I just read this article (http://www.truthdig.com/report/print/the_prison_state_of_america_20141228) on the state of the USA's prison system today, and no surprises for me, I am sorry to say. So, while slavery officially ended, it endures, in The Land of the Free, and blacks make up a disproportionate share of the inmate population who form an increasingly large captive workforce for corporate America. I once read an agreement that a state had with its privatized prison company, and the agreement literally guaranteed that the state's judicial system would provide a minimum flow level of new prisoners for the privatized system. You cannot even make this stuff up.
Dennis and Brian began their journeys as flag-waving patriots, to only both be run out of their home nation, as they tried to right humanity's ship. All I am asking for from my mother nation is not to be murdered, driven from my home, imprisoned, or have my life wrecked any more than it already has been. I am confined to writing in English, but nobody should look to the USA for the answers. We are the part of the problem, not the solution.

Wade

Hi Wade,
I've often speculated that the American populace has been "taken down". Why else would it be so brain dead, as you described? There's nothing uniquely abominable about the American citizen. I propose that as the center of so much power, extra effort has been put into subduing and subjugating the American. If you're going to control the world, the US is a good place to start. And where do you start? Well, just look at our educational system. Like you, I think that the majority of the populace is a lost cause, but there will always be those with ears to hear.

Hi Whiskey Mystic. May I call you Whiskey for short? :)
I am well aware of the school of thought that argues that dumbing down the USA's populace (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#gatto) is part of some grand design. While I am not really on-board with it in the way that conspiracists (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) are, I am well aware that ideological indoctrination is as old as civilization. While religious indoctrination was the early one, particularly the urbanized form (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1), which gave elites divine status or sanction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity), others arose with the rise of Europe (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal35) and its conquest of the world, and the attendant Industrial Revolution and rise of capitalism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists). So, Americans are subject to several population management ideologies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), but they all have the same basic MO of being based on scarcity and providing material and egocentric rewards to their adherents. And they work. I am not sure if that was all that intentional, as part of some grand plan, but just that indoctrination has only become more sophisticated (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bernays).
The USA is also the home of history's largest and most affluent middle class, which I belong to, and yes, I will agree that getting rid of the middle class is a dream come true for the global elite. I admit that controlling and waging war against the USA's middle class has been happening for most of my lifetime, but it is also a global effort, in which the global capital class is waging war against the global working class (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#racetobottom). Americans have a unique distinction because of how large the middle class is, and we have freedom of speech, kind of (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mcgehee), so I will agree that maybe more effort has been put into dumbing Americans down (the student loan situation is one very visible sign – it is like that nowhere else on Earth) than elsewhere.
All imperial peoples have ideologies that resemble fairy tales (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ww2), and it is no different with the USA. People are people, everywhere, and Americans are no worse or better than anybody else, at the soul level, but man, are Americans stupid, egocentric, and so on, and I have seen that their stupidity is intentional (http://www.counterpunch.org/2003/07/15/considering-the-obvious/) to a great degree. I have watched my fellow Americans abdicate their sentience for the promise of a full belly (not too dissimilar from the rabbit colony in Watership Down, where the farmer harvests them). All peoples have done it, to one degree or another, but Americans have sold out to a degree that might be unprecedented, and maybe because the carrots were bigger. My great nation runs the biggest killing machine on Earth, and I almost never meet an American who knows or cares how many we kill (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), and we have reached levels that would impress Hitler and Stalin. But somehow, we are the good guys, spreading freedom with our bombs and death. And that is something that cannot be discussed in polite company anywhere in the USA that I know of.
Dennis and Brian kept trying to help "wake up" the USA to the end, and neither one was quite able to get all of the red, white, and blue Kool-Aid out of his mouth. I am the only American FE activist that I know of who did, and this is a long way of saying that I no longer target Americans. Sure, some one-in-a-thousand or so can read this essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) without blowing a gasket, and maybe you are one of them, but I am using this tool called the Internet to reach beyond the USA. That really has been my intention since 2003 or so, to reach the rest of the world, not really Americans so much. Most who I hear from on this thread, for instance, are not Americans. So, if an American can join the choir, great, but I am not expecting the choir to really have all that many Americans in it. If they join the choir, it will be because they overcame hurdles to sentience that peoples of other nations do not quite face. So, in that way, I agree with your observation that some Americans "get it," and that there are pretty big disincentives to waking up. Indeed, some do, and they are exceedingly rare. And yes, there is an intentional population management program happening, but that happens in all nations and is as old as civilization. The British and American indoctrination systems are history's most sophisticated and subtle (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#propaganda), so I admit that more have fallen under the spell in those nations than in others, and because, as you say, they have unprecedented wealth and power, it has taken extra effort to subdue them, but oh, have they played along. I cannot try to form an American-based effort. Been there, done that, too many times. It has to be global, but any Americans who can learn to sing are welcome. :)

Hi:
Choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, I keep reading that Global Warming is a hoax designed to get us to give up more of our freedoms. What do you think?
A: I have not encountered a climate scientist without conflicts of interest who thinks so. The entire Global Warming "debate" itself is a hoax, perpetrated by the Hydrocarbon Lobby (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sold), an enabling media that always takes the corporate position (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and a scientifically illiterate public that is eager to be relieved of any responsibility for its actions. The masses generally embrace anything that relieves them of responsibility, and the two general ways are denying that there are any consequences for our actions, and the other is the belief that sinister forces beyond our control are calling the shots. Calling Global Warming a hoax plays into both of those proclivities, which are both ways to think like a victim (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness).
The fact is that carbon dioxide traps radiation in the wavelengths that Earth emits it, and that is going to raise Earth's temperature. No scientist alive will deny that (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming). Every paleoclimate study I have ever seen (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#geocarbsulf) places carbon dioxide levels as the key determinant of global temperatures. Carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas. Water is a more potent greenhouse gas but it is more ephemeral (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#neogene) and less of it evaporates into the air in cold conditions, which creates a positive feedback that reinforces itself. Methane has been hypothesized as a greenhouse gas, too, for some events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#petm), but it also goes away pretty quickly. The Sun is very steady in its output, which has slowly increased over the eons (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#volcanism3), and until the Industrial Revolution (and perhaps millennia earlier (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#atmosphere)), carbon dioxide levels had been falling for more than 100 million years due to reduced volcanism. But burning the hydrocarbons that have fueled the Industrial Revolution has reversed that trend, and we are in danger of raising carbon dioxide levels in this century to those that prevailed during Earth's last Greenhouse Earth phase. If humanity artificially induces another Greenhouse Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#icehouse), even if it only lasts a century or so, it could be an unprecedented calamity for Earth's denizens, which are already suffering a mass extinction that humans have inflicted (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused). This situation has climate scientists and biologists terrified.
I am regularly approached by people who argue that this or that little group of scientists is arguing that Global Warming is not really happening, and they claim that they do not have any conflicts of interest and are just interested in the truth. Every time I have looked, somewhere in their rhetoric has been a statement like, "It is going to hurt the economy if we curtail burning the fuels that run modern civilization." The Hydrocarbon Lobby could not have said it better. I have run into "skeptics" who were likely on the payroll (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), and climate change "skeptics" have a similar odor to them, and most are outright owned by the Hydrocarbon Lobby and make no bones about it. So, when they claim no conflicts of interest, call me skeptical. :) Of course, it might not be direct payments from the Hydrocarbon Lobby, but just justifying their industrial lifestyles. The history of rising and falling civilizations has always had "skeptics" like the Global Warming "skeptics" who have said, in the midst of the human-created environmental catastrophe that brought down the civilization, "More study is needed." And that chorus kept up until it was too late (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conservation). In Joachim Radkau's magisterial Nature and Power, he wrote (on page 130), when writing about the connections between marshes and malaria (before mosquitos became the known agents), "The situation was much like environmental policy today: the person who was waiting for absolute certainty always found a reason to do nothing." I put Global Warming "skeptics" into that camp.
Again, there is no arguing that raising the carbon dioxide content of Earth's atmosphere is going to raise its temperature. Nobody can deny it with any kind of credibility, and when I have read the work of Global Warming deniers and "skeptics," for those who claimed no conflict of interest, their arguments and data were all around regional variations and short-term oscillations that always accompany any climate. They were all completely irrelevant to the Global Warming issue, and seemed designed to gull the scientifically illiterate who are looking for "a reason to do nothing." The last time that Earth went from an Icehouse Earth to a Greenhouse Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#icehouse2), the greatest extinction event of all time happened (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction). That is what humanity is toying with, among other catastrophes (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).
The fact that many parties are using Global Warming as a political football does not make Global Warming a hoax. All events like Global Warming, in a world of scarcity, are going to have people trying to find an angle in it to exploit.
Of course, for me, if only 0.0001% of humanity woke up to FE and its potential (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) and learned to sing (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), FE would be a done deal and Global Warming would be handled almost as an afterthought (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pollution), and it would no longer matter what global climate did, anyway, as far as human welfare was concerned. Problem solved, and many others: pretty much all of the big ones (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate). To me, that is the surreal part of it all.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, you write about the mass extinction that humans are allegedly inflicting on Earth today. What caused mass extinctions in the past, and why would this one, if it is really happening, be different?
A: Good question. Although mass extinction events are "only" considered to be responsible for at most 5% of all species extinctions during the eon of complex life, they were sea change events that often radically changed ecosystem functioning, and a common dynamic was a previously marginal animal somehow surviving the extinction event (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctioncauses1) (often because they were marginal), and those survivors lived in a Golden Age (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages) with the competition gone, and spectacular adaptive radiations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adaptive) often ensued, and the new ecosystem became markedly different from the previous one. Mass extinctions delineate the geological periods (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#geologictime1), as the creatures before and after the events were so distinctive in the fossil record.
Mass extinctions have had many suspected reasons, and intensive research is ongoing. Charles Darwin (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darwin) unwittingly stifled research into mass extinctions for more than a century with his uniformitarian beliefs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lyell), so science has been playing catch-up in the past generation. The extinctions on land and in the ocean often had different reasons, and anoxia (AKA "lack of oxygen") is one of the most common reasons for oceanic mass extinctions, particularly for the early extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctiontable), as the warm waters of earlier times held less oxygen to begin with (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#absorption).
On land, mass extinctions were generally atmospherically related, such as when Earth warmed up or cooled off, or when the chemistry became hostile through events such as volcanism (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction) or hydrogen sulfide (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sulfideevent) events, or the immediate shock, fires, and aftermath of a bolide event 66 million years ago that spelled the end of dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction) and set the stage for the rise of mammals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cenozoic).
But life itself has helped cause extinction events, and may have played major roles in the past (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#medean). Today's extinction rate, which nobody with any credibility denies is all human-caused, is between 100 and 10,000 times the "normal" rate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinction2). That is an extinction rate that may equal or exceed the greatest extinction event ever (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction). Humans began the extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) by hunting all the easy meat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi) to extinction. Similar to today's Global Warming "skeptics," (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918145&viewfull=1#post918145) there is a cottage industry of human-agency "skeptics" regarding the megafauna extinctions (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2), but their work has become increasingly marginalized in light of the evidence. Humans did it, and also drove all other human species to extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal), and now we are working on the rest of Earth's species, except those we find useful and sustainably exploitable (largely domesticated species).
That humans have hunted species to extinction cannot be rationally denied, and today, habitat destruction is the most common vector of human-inflicted extinction, mainly by poor farmers in third-world nations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#habitat), pushed to the margins by the rapacity of industrial civilizations. While those dynamics threaten the extinction of half of Earth's species or more in this century, humans are already inducing oceanic anoxia, which could well lead to hydrogen sulfide events (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#medean). Global Warming could raise Earth's oceans by meters in this century, and a two-meter rise would displace more than a quarter of humanity. Mass starvation and World War III over food would be a likely outcome, and that is if we do not have World War III over dwindling oil supplies (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) before then.
Humanity has its toes over the edge of the abyss on several fronts, not just causing a mass extinction that might take us with it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). These situations have scientists terrified, while almost the entire remainder of humanity is oblivious. A good deal of the "credit" for today's situation disproportionately rests with the global elite, especially the "Godzilla (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc)" faction, and they tried to recruit one of my fellow travelers for their "Terraform Mars Project (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars)" as their ultimate survival enclave if their antics make Earth uninhabitable in the near future. Most in their ranks have realized the utter insanity of that position and cooler heads may prevail (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal), but we can’t just all sit around and hope for the best.
I am trying to get something going that can make a dent (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and we will see how it goes. Causing the greatest mass extinction event in Earth's history I sure hope is not humanity's epitaph. It can be so much different (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), almost overnight, if a tiny fraction of humanity woke up just a little (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers). I am trying to find out if we can.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
More choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, your big essay has one heck of a lot of science in it. Do you think it was really necessary to get your message across? I also noticed that on your site today, you have fewer mystical musings. What is up with that?
A: That would take long time to properly answer, but the short answer is yes, I think that the science is important, and I have removed some mystical "musings" from some of my essays when I revised my site in 2014, not that they dominated any of those essays before. However, I sure did not become a materialist, and expanded my spiritual essay quite a bit, too, with a new chapter (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#research). I felt that if I was writing historical essays, such as my Columbus (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm) and American Empire (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) essays, even if some channeled works did aver that the Iroquois had an Old Soul society (and I write about that some (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#transcendental)), I decided that it would be fairer to the reader to have that material in the part of my site devoted more to such unprovable concepts. I guess you could say that I put the more speculative and unprovable writings in sections more devoted to them. But I think that my mystical perspective does a pretty good job of bleeding into most of my essays, to one degree or another.
Believe me, that I even write about UFOs at all has generated flak from scientific types, but I approach those issues from the perspective of evidence and personal experience, both mine and those of close fellow travelers. What an astronaut had to say about UFOs, and his near-fatal experiences in the milieu (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack), is a lot different than the opinion of some UFO enthusiast, and is far from an irrelevant tangent in my work. It is likely joined at the hip with FE. What my friend was shown (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) was likely at least partly built from reverse-engineering captured ET craft, and the UFO and FE cover-ups are related.
The science issue is a huge one, and I cannot give a short answer to that which will do justice to the subject, but here are a few facets of it. What we call science today is essentially a mode of inquiry, and can be seen as a process. Does it live up to its ideal? No, but no human endeavor ever did. It has ideals to strive for, and I think the ideals are worthy, but science is certainly not the be all, end all. Scientists such as Stephen Hawking have argued that science is the be all, end all, but people like him have actually turned science into something akin to a religion. He has argued that science has supplanted philosophy and other disciplines, but I believe that is just the conceit of scientists who are too enamored with their theories and approach. Great evils have come from science, and scientists were all too complicit in them, and I am reminded of nuclear weapons.
Einstein said that his life's greatest mistake was signing that letter that urged the USA to build nuclear weapons before Germany could (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#einstein). When it became evident that Germany would not build a bomb before they lost the war, and that Japan had no program to build nuclear weapons, and it became evident that the USA was not building nuclear weapons to shorten or win World War II (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#attrition), only two of the 5,000 Manhattan Project workers at Los Alamos resigned, while the rest feverishly worked on history's most destructive weaponry when there was no credible threat, much less a nuclear one, to the USA or the Allies. In the words of Manhattan Project scientist Richard Feynman, when asked what those scientists were thinking, "We stopped thinking (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#feynman)." Those scientists could have benefitted from ethics and philosophy classes.
I have been around the otherworldly omniscience and prescience of professional channels to know that the phenomenon is very real, but in my old age, I do not read it much anymore, especially since I resumed the studies that led to my big essay. Most channeled pronouncements cannot be subjected to much verification, and I try to keep my work in close orbit to my experiences and information that people can verify for themselves.
That stated, scientific findings have been able to shed a great deal of light on other fields, such as history, for instance. Scientific investigation has been able to not only verify the reality of historical events, but have gone a long way to answering the why, such as in the collapse of civilizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses). It is often said that religion and science do not mix, but scientific investigation has demonstrated the historical accuracy of some events in scripture, but probably more often, it has shown that scripture is often fictional, such as many Old Testament stories (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales), which not many adults take seriously anyway.
The scientific approach can be great at getting at whats, hows, and whys, which is partly why my big essay has so much science in it. But I certainly also show the limits of mainstream science (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox). These are big subjects, and I may write more soon on them.

Wade

Wade,
I wish for you the largest of happy new years!!!
My wish is for the many compartmentalized government and non government employees who know science and who would simply read our Wades essay and connect the dots....
The dots are there and of course our dearest Wade's top of the list qualification is to be a boy scout...;)
Of course a discussion could be raised upon where does integrity come from? Is it spiritual or from some biological source or both?
My other feeling is much love towards the folks upon Avalon....great love...
I would personally think that many with a read of your essay would find a bit of integrity....... and to simply.... do your job..... to benefit the rest of us...
Wishful thinking...probably....
Of course is giving up an option?

Happy 2015, Nine:
2015 is going to be an "interesting" year. The money-printing party that the world's governments (USA, Japan, China, Eurozone) have been engaged in is off-the-charts crazy, kind of like Weimar Germany (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weimar_Republic#Hyperinflation), and we know how that turned out. The Ukraine might become the flashpoint for World War III (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII), with my great nation leading the festivities (http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/2014/12/2014-end-of-year-report-and-look-into.html) as it keeps applying the blowtorch to the powder keg. On a "good" note, the USA "only" ranks fifth in the world in executions (http://www.amnestyusa.org/research/reports/death-sentences-and-executions-2013). Look at the list. Not one other industrialized nation is on it. Combined with our wonderful prison system (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=917991&viewfull=1#post917991) and torturing innocent people (http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2009/05/most-of-those-tortured-were-innocent.html) to death (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40439.htm)…hmmmm. The Land of the Free.
Again, my hope is that a person does not need to have much scientific training to read my big essay and comprehend its primary message: the epochal significance of FE (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). The more who understand that, the more who will keep their eyes on the ball and not be distracted by the daily circus. That leading authority who lauded the scientific parts of the essay (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo) is a world-renowned popularizer, and my essay was written with the lay audience in mind. I am not saying that digesting the essay will be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. If we want to learn, especially when the system is rigged against true learning, we have to do the work.
The integrity issue (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) is likely why we are here, incarnated into the semi-sentient species known as humanity. We all get the opportunity to manifest it, and we get to keep coming back until we can do it, and then we move on to bigger things. Even those slowest to learn (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#love) eventually do. Even Max (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell). :) Of course, we are on the verge of having to find a new planet to continue our journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3).
More choir Q&A.
Q: Could you write more on the limits of today's science?
A: OK. I have done plenty of writing on the limits of mainstream science (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox) and orthodoxy in general (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm). The biggest limitations that I see in mainstream science and orthodoxy are the materialistic (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vonneumann) assumptions of scientists (Hawking and Sagan (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) are great examples of that), the political-economic naïveté of scientists, as Fuller noted (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive), and the limits of scientific inquiry when it comes up against the barriers erected by political-economic interests, and especially the cartels that run the world economy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc). The science of energy, for instance, is still largely stuck in the 19th century, as is economic theory (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chicagoschool). In fact, the same man is partly responsible (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) for the arrested development of those disciplines, although the game today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) is played at far higher levels than back then. The greatest physicists were keenly aware of the limits of science (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical), and they can be likened to the prophets of religions, and their enlightened messages were corrupted by the priest class (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity), which was solely concerned with wealth, power, and social control. When scientists such as Brian O had their mystical awakenings (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote), their days as mainstream scientists were usually numbered. The enemy is always dogma, whether it is on the mystical or scientific end of the game. I first heard that from Seth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth), who was one of my earliest mystical mentors, and my experiences since then only reinforced that notion.
When people submit to dogma of any kind, they abdicate their sentience, and as I have written, my fellow American are subjected to several dogmatic faiths (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918015&viewfull=1#post918015), they are fed them almost from the cradle (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded), and almost ever nobody mustered the integrity to break out and think for themselves. That sentience-deficit is the bane of humanity and might lead to our demise by our own hand (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). If that comes to pass, the question of whether humanity was really a sentient species will be open for debate, if there is anybody left to debate it (maybe other ET species or other planes of existence, but it will be "game over" on Earth).
Of course, I am doing what I can to prevent those events from happening, and better still, something that looks like heaven on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is easily attained if a tiny fraction of humanity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) mustered just a little integrity and sentience. And if that tiny fraction cannot be mustered by me or somebody else, then I think that the sentience question will likely be answered in the negative. Our epitaph might read: "Humanity had the potential for sentience, but did not quite reach it."
I am seeking a different outcome, and we will see how it goes.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Happy 2015 to all. I am attaching a couple of late-December pics. The first is of me on my favorite hiking mountain, on winter's solstice, and the second I took yesterday, on New Year's Eve. Pictures cannot do justice to those places, even in the depths of winter. While preparing to go hiking and driving there, I am often in a joyous state, especially when going to my favorite spots. These two hikes (1 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=873552&viewfull=1#post873552), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=886277&viewfull=1#post886277)) in particular are joyous for me (and one day I might even be able to drag my wife there! :) ), and this year I did them alone. On the first one, I saw two people the entire day (and did not see a soul when I went there last year (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=742612&viewfull=1#post742612)), and in the second, I never saw a soul the entire day. Where else on Earth can you do that? Not many places. So, as crazy and agonizing as much of my journey has been, I have also had rich compensation.

A: You mean not the hazard to the FE inventor, of organized suppression and the like? If you mean the hazards of using FE devices, there are some, as with any technology. I have heard rumors that the field induced by FE devices can be harmful for people's health if they are in close proximity, so it is possible that FE devices would need to be shielded or placed away from people and life forms, but it does not seem like it would have to be far. If it was powering a home, for instance, it might have to be in its own room in the "basement" or something similar. Some garage inventors have reported such health effects, but I would imagine that in the labs run by the Global Controllers, those problems have been resolved. I have even heard rumors that galactic civilizations powered by FE technology that taps the zero-point field have "slowed down" the evolution of their corner of the galaxy. I am not sure if that is seen as a negative outcome, and the ETs that visit Earth are using FE, antigravity, and other "exotic" technologies, and I believe that they have solved any "harmful" effects of using those technologies, and we can seek their guidance if/when the veil of secrecy finally lifts.
The "hazards" that most people think of regarding the use of FE devices are the social and political changes, as the world will end as we know it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). But what can replace it looks a lot like heaven on Earth, so their fears (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) seem misplaced, and they just prefer the devil they know over the unknown, even if the unknown is heavenly. If we get past those fears, which are really the primary fears that people have, in their addiction to scarcity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), they often bring up the possibility of weaponizing FE or using it to strip-mine the planet and wrecking the environment even more than humanity already has. But those fears also seem misplaced. There will still be governance systems, but they will look nothing like today's. I foresee the primary role of government being safety and seeing to the welfare of every human, not the power and control games that we see today. All territorial ideologies will disappear, as FE and related technologies such as antigravity will make geographical boundaries obsolete, and there will no longer be political entities called nations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations).
One asteroid can easily provide all of humanity's material needs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining), not to mention uninhabited planets, so mining Earth will quickly be seen as insane and universally outlawed. Similarly, all warfare has been based on economic scarcity (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1), and FE means material abundance for all humans, so the motivation for war also disappears. Those who deny and fear FE, because they cannot imagine an end of scarcity and warfare are similar to people who lived before the rise of machines and could not imagine that slavery could ever end as an institution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas). We have had nuclear weapons for nearly 70 years, and we all seem to still be here. I advocate a global peacekeeping force (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) to ensure that FE is not weaponized (the technical tools to do that likely already exist (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647)), until everybody realizes how insane such a mentality is in a world of abundance. People on the spiritual dark path (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), who often do quite well in today's world of scarcity and fear and comprise a large fraction of the global elites, are going to be frustrated, but that is too bad for them. They are those most behind the suppression of the ET presence and FE and related technologies, and they have my sympathy, but their games are destroying Earth's inhabitability, and they know it (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars). It is time for the evil games to end. Maybe such people can be rehabilitated, or they will have to find new planets to dominate.
Best,
Wade
The mention I've seen made by George Lobuono and others is that scalar electrogravity causes time to flow differently based on proximity to the area of use (along with the aforementioned health side effects), and thus needs to be fine-tuned and balanced if used on a large scale.
If so, the benefits still vastly outweigh those possible downsides, and besides, I figured there will still be future challenges. I like having challenges to think through and work on.
Social and political changes could be rocky at points, but its inevitable, the world cannot continue in its current form. Besides eliminating gross inequality and environmental devastation, the prevailing paradigms of the world are all caught in a disgusting rut, and need to be discarded or recreated.

Hi Enishi:
I believe that it was LoBuono who wrote Mark's story (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), and he is the person who informed me it was there as ATS, as I recall. It added some color to the version I heard from Mark himself and a little extra that Brian O supplied. If you read Sparky Sweet's paper on his device (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), it warped the space-time continuum and Sparky also produced antigravity effects with his gizmo. Sparky was one of those FE inventors whose gizmo sometimes seemed to make him ill. Free energy and antigravity technologies were specifically shown to my friend in his little underground demo (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Because I did not want to know a whole lot more about the show (lives were definitely risked to give that show, and not knowing much helps protect all parties), I don't know if there were any "time" demonstrations. What my pal saw blew his mind, I can tell you that.
So, time, space, gravity, and FE seem to be all connected, and my suspicion is that the unified field is consciousness, and becoming a Level 19 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level19) ascends past all such technological issues. But you only get to Level 19 with love (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hands1), so it is a fail-safe against abuse, unlike technology, but I have this sense that only a civilization with sufficient collective divine intention (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divine) can tap the ZPF for long.
One difficulty of writing about this stuff is that there is a blizzard of New Age/conspiracist stuff out there like what I am reporting, and a lot is disinformation purveyed by various parties for various agendas, or is half-cocked stuff that does not distinguish the chaff from the wheat. I suppose the reason that so much of my big essay is grounded in orthodox science is to help keep my readers grounded, so they do not fly off into all of those ungrounded directions that are not productive. I also heavily document my site for similar reasons.
Yes, I would much rather face the problems of fine-tuning those technologies to make them harmless (I think that this has already largely been done in the Black Projects world – those technologies are older than I am) than the catastrophes that humanity faces today (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). As I have written, as each year passes, some kind of "muddle through (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913416&viewfull=1#post913416)" middle ground continues to shrink (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=870078&viewfull=1#post870078). It is increasingly likely that we are going to have the Fifth Epochal Event or the Sixth Mass Extinction (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth) that takes most, if not all, of humanity with it. It sure would not take many people (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) with the right stuff for humanity to go through Door Number 1 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I think that the "job" that I took on in this lifetime is helping the Door Number 1 reality come to pass.
Happy 2015,
Wade

Hi:
Choir Q&A.
Q: Wade, when you review early civilizations in your big essay, you focus on Fertile Crescent civilizations and rather lightly cover the others. Why?
A: For a few reasons. Most importantly, it was where the first civilizations appeared (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), and the most complex civilizations and those that came to dominate Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal35) are descendants of Fertile Crescent civilizations. Also, the domestication of plants had only two places on Earth that were certainly pristine, and only four places on Earth where civilizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1) were definitely pristine. Those pristine instances are the only ones where the similarities and differences can be studied and compared, to winkle out some seemingly universal principles. Many universal features have been ascertained, as well as some differences.
In future versions of my essay, I may provide a little more discussion of the other instances of agriculture and civilizations rising and falling, but I already discuss what I believe are the important universal similarities and differences in my essay. Scientists argue for as many as nine different instances of agriculture arising, perhaps independently, but others think those others are not completely pristine instances, but were influenced by the earlier events, even if it was only the idea of domestication.
I cover some dynamics of China's development (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#china1) and two civilizations in the Western Hemisphere (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mesoamerica), which were pristine civilizations. In other parts of the world, such as North America's Eastern Woodlands and New Guinea's Highlands, where new crops were indigenously domesticated, they may have been pristine instances, and in future essay versions I may discuss them, but they did not have fundamentally unique features that the other instances lacked.
The basics were finding plants that stored edible energy in roots, seeds, and legumes, and to cultivate them, or encouraging fruits to grow larger. Fruits are the only foods designed to be eaten (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers), while the others often had toxins that had to be leached or cooked out of them. So, food processing began in earnest with domestication, although cooking may have (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking) millions of years of pedigree. Selective breeding of domesticated plants made those edible parts larger and easier to digest.
Animals began domestication before plants did, with the dog being the first known domesticate (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dogs). Humans are social animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#grooming), and the prominent domesticated animals were social animals. Humans usually learned to replace pack/herd/flock leadership, to tame those animals (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goat). Humans seem to have also domesticated themselves (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cull).
In order for the "deal" to work, humans protected their domesticates from their formerly wild environs, and most domesticates lost "wild" features that left them dependent on human intervention for survival. Humans altered forests, soils, and ecosystems in order to raise their domesticates, and in some Stone Age cultures, those societies had sustainable practices, where the damage inflicted on the environment was small enough so that it could recover and provide a more or less stable energy supply. The Western Hemisphere had several such cultures (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#before), and only the Andean civilizations had begun developing metallurgy before Europe "discovered" them.
In Eurasia, metallurgy began several thousand years ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#plow), and metal-using societies were unsustainable, as metallurgy itself required great amounts of wood, and metals allowed for relatively easy deforestation and the plow increased short-term crop yields at the long-term expense of fertility. That combination led to the quick demise of all early civilizations (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations). Even in Stone Age cultures, peoples bred to the land's carrying capacity, and their practices usually damaged the land's carrying capacity. When operating at the limits of the land's carrying capacity, disruptions such as droughts, exacerbated by deforestation and soil damage, often led to the society's collapse as it ran out of energy. Running out of energy (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses) was the ultimate reason for the decline and fall of all civilizations.
So, those dynamics were common to all civilizations, and I did not think that going very deeply into more than a few instances was necessary. I performed a global survey of the previous energy source that humans depleted, the world's easy meat (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi), and my survey of the rise and fall of civilizations was also global, while focusing in some depth into Fertile Crescent civilizations because they are better known, partly because they had writings that scholars and scientists have partially or largely deciphered (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing).
East Asia had a climate affected by monsoons coming off the Indian Ocean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsoon), while Fertile Crescent civilizations were more affected by weather systems coming off the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Those led to different seasonal dynamics, but the basics were the same. All pre-industrial civilizations had the same basics (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#civilizationbasics), and the variations were pretty minor when compared to industrial civilizations or pre-domestication societies. The reasons seem to be because all humans are descended from the founder group of 60,000 years ago, and they all developed similar solutions to the problems that Earth's climates and ecosystems presented, in a kind of convergent evolution (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#convergent).
So, I may increase my coverage of other instances of domestication and civilization, but it will likely not be much, as the exercise will not shed much new light on the rise and fall of civilizations, which was my essay's purpose, as far as the domestication phase of humanity goes.
Best,
Wade
